HEATING HABIT
Crusade Against Popular Cus
tom Discussed at Y. M.
C. A. Meeting.
FATHER O'HARA A SPEAKER
Priest Denies That Catholic Church
la Lukewarm In Temperance
Cause Secretary Stone At
tacks Idquor Traffic.
The crusade against the treating habit
inaugurated by the Cathedral Men's Club
was given new Impetus yesterday when
Father E. O'Hara spoke to the men as
sembled at the YJ M. C. A. on the evils
of the custom. Proof that the evil re
sults are not confined to those treating
or treated was given In a recent Hcpp
ncr murder, which occurred because the
victim would not treat a second time,
aid Father Q'Hara.
Father O'Hara's address was .followed
by a short talk by General Secretary H.
W. Stone, In which he said he was heart
ily In favor of any and . all movements
for the abolition or curtailing of the
liquor trafric. He referred to three
recent homicides, saying that they were
all due to liquor.
Mr. Stone read from The Oregonlan of
December 18 and 19, and criticised It
for its position on the liquor question.
Heading a part of the editorial In The
Oregonian of last Wednesday in which
the statement is made that this country
will not abolish the liquor traffic, at
least not for some years, he said: "It
won't? We have 33,003.000 citizens in the
United States today living under absolute
prohibition. One-half of the geographi
cal territory of the country has gone dry,
so far as. the sale of liquor Is concerned,
and one-third of the population has ban
ished strong drink.
"The Oregonian also says that there
may be a movement in the South against
the liquor traffic, where the whites do
not want the negroes to have whisky,
but that the North is not ready for pro
hibition. Of course North Dakota is a
Southern state! Maine, too, Is located in
the sunny Southland where the Irrespon
sible negro must be deprived of his booze!
I tell you. The Oregonian will have to get
In and study geography a little.
Dealers Are Inconsistent.
"In the Issue of the following day, De
cember 19, 1 read that the Portland liquor
dealers held a meeting at which the
liquor Interests of the state were repre
sented, and that they passed a resolution
that they would sell no more liquor to
law-breaking saloons, but would only
cater in future to those places which
were respectable; that this would do
away with the chief cause of complaint
against barrooms. In almost the same
breath the paper tells about one of the
worst dives In the city of Portland, mak
ing the statement that the City Council
will probably not renew the license for
another year, and that this would force
the proprietor out of business. But, con
tinues this humorous Journal, the whole
sale liquor dealers are bringing pressure
to bear upon the Council to renew the
liquor license of this notorious dive.
"In this humorous paper we have read
within lu days of three foul murders, all
of them brought on through drink. "Vet
The Oregonian thinks there Ib no need or
call for prohibition in the North; that
It is only In the South where there are
negroes of weak minds that prohibition is
needed. I notice that this paper also
carries a large number of liquor adver
tisements, which may be an explanation
of its position on this question.
"The remark made by Father O'Hara
last Sunday afternoon, that he had read
all of President Roosevelt's message to
Congress, covering 84 subjects, and had
discovered that he did not even ment.on
the liquor question, struck me very forci
bly. 1 say that the man who will write
a lengthy message of 80,000 words, with
out even referring to the liquor traffic
that there is something the matter with
him, whether he is Theodore Roosevelt cr
somebody else.
Mr. Bryan Also Gagged.
"Somebody asked Bryan recently, 'What
about the liquor question.' He said ne
would not talk about that at present.
But men, it's coming. We are to see the
terrible curse rooted out. Webster would
not say a word about the slavery ques
tion. United States Senators immedi
ately preceding Lincoln's time, every one
of them, refused to say a word on the
slavery question. So with the liquor
question. But the people who suffer are
willing to sny something. In order to
kill .this nefarious business some of us
must be strong enough to say, 'No.' The
time has come for this thing to die, ana
to die right off quick.
"Some people say that If we take all
the chairs out of the saloons, and remove
all the music boxes and put them with
the slot machines, that the saloons will
be all right. But It isn't all right. I'm
after the whisky. Let the music boxes
and the chairs, and the free lunches re
main. I like free lunches. If you take
the Whisky out you will have money
enough so you won't hava to buy free
lunches. Tou can clean up a hog better
than you can clean up a saloon."
In his address Father O'Hara said In
part:
A saloonkeeper called on m the other
day and told me that this movement
against the treating evil is very un
timely and unwise. He said the church
which I represent has never taken its
place In the ranks of those who favor
temperance. This is a mlsoonceptlon of
our position, for In 1884, when the
Catholio bishops and archbishops of the
country met at Baltimore they told the
clergy to tell the people engaged In this
business to seek a more honorable and,
decent method of earning a livelihood.
If I had time I might tell you of the
excellent work of Archbishop Ireland and
BiRhop Kane. These liquor Interests are
against every movement that makes for
the moral and social betterment of the
community. The liquor Interests wield
a large Influence In politics and In the
home; and the Influence extends to al
most all departments of life.
Kills 100,000 Each Tear.
Kvery year 100,000 men are killed by the
liquor habit. One hundred thousand
more -come every year to take their
flaces. It Is the treating habit that
eads the Individuals In this large army
to start on the road to destruction. It
Is the hunger for social companionship
that leads boys and young men to go to
the Baloons. When the drinks are offered
' they contract the drinking habit through
fear of belncr held up to ridicule.
Tou read this morning of the Hoppner
murder. It was brought on by the de
mand for a drink. This murder will
probably be Justified, as have a large
number of others, by the fact that the
man was drunk when ne snot.
It would bo a mistake to suppose that
the laboring man Is the only one who
is brought low by the treating habit. It
is when the habit has brought down one
of those pillars In the community, one
of those men wno snouia stana Tor social
betterment, that It has achieved its
maitterrjiere.
Judge Gantenbeln told me- the other
day that In seven years when he was In
Germany he only saw three men drunk.
I am told that In Germany and Belgium
the treating habit is unknown. It is cer
tainly strange that the highest symbol
of the esteem in which we hold a friend
is a glass of liquor; that which will unfit
him mentally and physically for his
duties in life. We expect to make it a
disgrace for a man to treat as is now
done. The movement win grow slowly,
but one man who will go out and refuse
to treat can do more than all the resolu
tions which can be made by the bodies
giving the movement their support.
The men assembled at the Y. M. C. A.
were entertained yesterday by the sing
ing, by a chorus of Sundav School pi-"'-!
from the First Christian' Church, and
by a baritone solo, "Son oi Aiy .su...,
by Mr. Kinsey.
ALL SHIPS WORK SUNDAY
Shippers Making Every Effort to
Dispatch Grain Cargoes.
Grain vessels In the harbor and such
of the ballast vessels as had a berth,
worked yesterday. The local exporters
are exerting every effort to get the avail
able grain afloat and the craft In the
harbor will be rushed along as rapidly
as possible. For many months the ac
tivity along the front has not been as
great as yesterday.
The steamships Elgin and Valdlvla
worked to full capacity and the former
will be ready to clear by Tuesday after
noon. The Valdlvla will complete her
cargo with lumber and It will be the
last of the week before she will be able
to get away. The Strathendrlck will fin
ish Thursday morning and will leave
down the river the following day.
Of the sailing craft there will be a
general cleaning up during the coming
week. There , are , a number of vessels
which are nearlng completion, and they
will be ready for the towboats near the
same time.
The condition of the wheat market In
England has had an effect on the local
situation and the shippers are anxious to
get all the grain possible afloat before
a radical change takes place.

BIRTH OF SAVIOR
Christmas Music and Special
Sermons Throughout
the City.. ,
HELP FOR UNFORTUNATE
Thoughts of Congregations Turn to
Practical Charity, and Many
, Send Good Cheer to
Needy Families.
Practically all churches of the city
are celebrating chrlstmas-tlde. A
large number of the Protestant
churches held Christmas services yes
terday, when special music was ren
dered, and the sermons told of the
Christ-child and of his mission to the
earth. Holly and Oregon grape was in
evidence among the decorations.
At the Taylor-street Methodist Church
a choir of 50 voices,' supported by an
orchestra of 15 pieces under the direc
tion of Professor W. H. Boyer, rendered
eight numbers of Handel's "Messiah,"
to a large congregation. The "Halle
lujah Chorus" was rendered after the
pastor's sermon on "Emmanuel." The
rendering; of the selections from the
sacred cantata were so much appre
ciated that the choir has been urged
to repeat the programme, and will
probably do bo In a few weeks.
The choruses sung were "And the
Glory of the Lord," "For Unto TJs a
Child Is Born, Glory to God in the
Highest," and "Hallelujah," solos being
rung by Mrs. B. ' S. Miller, soprano;
Miss Evelyn Hurley, contralto; E. C
Davis, tenor, and Charles H. Cutter,
bass. Mrs. Warren E. Thomas was or
ganist. Other Christmas music was
also sung.
Last night Dr. Young took for his sub
ject. "The Magi and the Star." Special
music was rendered at this service also.
Sermon on Whittier.
At the- Grace Methodist Church Dr.
W. H. Heppe took for the subject of his
sermon last night, "Whittier, the Prophet
Bard," and yesterday morning, "C.irlst's
Intrinsic Legacy to Our Modern W -rid."
Special Christmas exercises in the form
of a Christmas story, with solos, duets,
trios and choruses interspersed was ren
dered last night at the Epworth Meth
odist Church, at the Oregon building on
the Lewis and Clarke Fair grounds. The
story was told by Misses Birdie and Lulu
Dozier and Steve Smith. The music was
rendered by Mrs. L. M. Smith, Miss A.
Crosley, Mrs. R. P. Dear, Mrs. W. B.
Bell, Miss Nellie Munger, and William
B. Stratton, supported by the church
chorus. - Mrs. C. T. McPherson presided
at the piano. The programme was ' ar
ranged by Mrs. McPherson. The usual
Christmas tree and decorations were to
be seen.
At the White Tempi yesterday the
grown-ups in the morning service made
a generous contribution to the needs or
the colored Baptist Church of this city,
while the little tots In the primary de
partment smiled broadly as they gave
their precious smaller coins in small rea
stockings that the Savter Street Baptist
Sunday School, a former mission, might
have a Jolly Christmas. The general Sun
day School also brought, for distribution
among needy families, a large- quantity

TAIiKS OX CHKISTMAS SPIRIT
Rev. J. D. Corby Preaches on the
Meaning of Holiday.
The Church of the Good Tidings, on
East Eighth street, was transformed!
Into a veritable bower of evergreens' and
Oregon Grape yesterday for the Christ
mas service, when the pastor. Rev. J. D.
Corby, spoke on "The Christmas Spirit."
Mr. Corby said in part:
The inn at Bethlehem was filled with rich
relatives the night Jesus was born out In
the manger, because none would make room
for Mary. This holiday season becomes holy
and religious only when It Inspires good will
to men; when It reaches its helping hand
to those in need. The Babe of Bethlehem
comes today as on the first Christmas morn,
and now, as long ago, there are many who
have no room for Christ. Christmas easts
its bright glow over the world for weeks in
advance. The shop and home have felt the
change. The young folks are coming home
from schoool and college. This season
touches the selfish and cold and makes them
generoua Christmas carols in ths churches,
hurrying messengers laden with good cheer,
transforms even old Scrooge. Like an Ice
berg kissed by the sun from above and ca
ressed by the warm gulf stream from be
neath. In how many homes will there be a place
set apart for crhrist on Christmas day? Ths
young andvthe aged far from loved ones long
for the fireside cheer and the home atmos
phere. They don't want charity, but hos
pitality and personal cheer. We must keep
our friendships In repair and All up the
gaps In the ranks with new recruits. Christ
mas emphasizes Jesus' teaching that all men
are brothers. On this day of Joy children
and grownups of all nations will sings their
Christmas carols and the southern continent
will vie with us in the north to see who can
open doors most wide for the Christ child
to enter In the person of some lonesome or
needy one. The ships of our navy on their
way around the horn have Christmas trees
with them that will speak of home and love.
Every steamer on the ocean, every prison
and hospital will be brighter because Christ
mas has come. All over the world humanity
will feel the blessed warmth of Christ's
spirit even as the wise men saw and fol-.
lowed the-leading of the star.
Jesus' birthday belongs to ths world. It
Is universal in its teaching and Influence.
Christmas gives a foregleam of that blessed
time when every knee shall bend and every
tongue confess that Christ is lord to the
glory of &od the Father. As the star of
Bethlehem- shone brighter than all other
stars, so Christ and his glad tidings shine
brighter than all other religious leaders.
Hospitality is the lessen of the day, not
merely social, but Intellectual and spiritual.
Too many are like ths Inn In Bethlehem,
they are so crowded with the things of this
world that there Is no room for Christ.
Now the days begin to lengthen, slowly
the light w,ins Its fight with darkness and
overcomes it. So Christ acts in the heart of
an individual. Once give htm possession and
the old darkness of self, the gloom of petty
existence will give way and you shall see
the lengthening days enrich the product and
power of your life. When Christ comes Into
a life it grows as the earth at ths touch of
an advancing Bummer. It lifts the poor,

everyday life to ths splendid level of self
sacrifice and consecration to something
higher than sense.
That is the high aim of the TJnlversallst
Church, to make this Christmas spirit uni
versal; to carry light to dissipate darkness
wherever ws find It; to carry glad tidings
to those who are sad; to point the way of
life to those who are dead In trespass and
sin. i cannot conceive of a faith or church
that gives a diviner call, what right have
you to celebrate Christmas unless Christ has
come to you and Is being mads welcome as
our most loved and honored guest. As
Christ 'comes, Realize that he brings us not
less, but more abundant life.
Thus there will come over the darkened
soul a brightness greater than that which
lightened the plains of Judea long ago. And
we get the meaning of that angelic chorus as
never before, "Glory to God In the highest
and on earth, peace, good will to men'
ENDURANCE OF YOUNGSTER
Face Smashed by Horse's Hoof, but
Utters No Complaint.
CASTLE ROCK, Wash., Dec. 22. (Spe
cial.) While riding a horse yesterday
afternoon, Harry, the 12-year-old son of
Charles F. Conradi, fell off so close to
the horse's heels that he was struck In
the face by one of them, inflicting a very
ugly and painful wound. The -bones of
the chin were badly fractured, and sev
eral of his teeth were torn from their
sockets.
The injured lad was brought to town,
a distance of 16 miles, as quickly as pos
sible, and though evidently suffering in
tensely, he did not once complain. Dr.
Campbell on his arrival at once set about
dressing the wounds, and although the
operation was a long and tedious one,
as there were so many pieces of bone
either to remove or to set, the little
hero never once uttered a sound. As
no anesthetic of any ' nature was used,
the boy's endurance was wonderful. Al
though he will probably carry a scar
through life, the doctor thinks his patient
will recover all right, though minus sev
eral teeth.'
