Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1908. PARKS ARE VISITED By Warm Sunshine of First Spring Day Brings Out Host of Pleasure-Seekers. CROWDS IN GAY ATTIRE Overcoats and Furs Into Temporary Exile and Hints of Easter Hats and Gowns Appear Moun tain Scenery at Best. Oregon's "almost Summer" sun yes terday dispelled all trace of "Winter's discontent" In the hearts of the tuou eands who thronprert the city's parka on the first really 'glorious Sunday of the new year. The mess of weather that has burdened the Pacific Northwest for nearly three months was wiped out as if by niaRic, and In Hs place the throngs exulted in a foretaste of Spring. The huary mountain peaks, for weeks shroud ed in" a drapery of mist, stood out in clearest outline, and even the less pre tentious foothills glistened In a silvery sheen. In the early morninj? hours the crisp frost of the night ' before melted and threatening rain clouds skulked away 'be fore the climbing sun. Hundreds of peo ple were out enjoying the-exhilarating morning air and the main streets down town, long before noon, were as the promenade of a watering-place. But in the early afternoon it seemed as If the whole population of Portland had forsaken the indoors, and not for months had the streetsvand cars been so crowded as they were until dark. Over-' coats and even the furs in which Port land's fair daughters have taken serene comfort for weeks, were doffed, and hints and intimations of what the de votees of fashion are going to wear a few weeks hence were conspicuous on every hand. Gayer colors and softnr textures re placed the somber wooiens of Winter, and gorgeous plumage crowned the hf.ad gear of feminine strollers. Men shed their beavers and donned their riifty top coats Instead. In tine, it seemed as If it were Easter Sunday, instead of one of the last days of the year's first month. Streetcars Are Crowded. The City Park alone attracted not less than 60.000 visitors during the afternoon, while some of the streetcarmen on the run estimated that- the number was nearer 75,000. As early as 1 o'clock, the cars out Washington street began to fill up and by 2 o'clock it was necessary to put on "trippers." Regular cars on every line In the city brought hundreds of people to every transfer point on the City Park line and passengers were packed Into every car like sardines. In the City Park the crowds were enor mous, .greater even than they were some times last Summer during the band con cert season. All the swings in the play grounds reserved for children were over worked as long as doting fathers and mothers would allow their "kiddies" to Indulge In the dizzy pastime. The young- stors "swung high and low." a dozen In almost every swing, and hundreds stood 1n watting. "I'm next, I'm next," the little boys and girls kept crying out as crowds in creased around the swinging grounds. Cllve somebody else a chance" and Don t he a pig" were some of the ex clamations that the eager little people sang out as they surged around the creaking, groaning pleasure pendulums. Play Oldtime Games. l'omp-ponvp-pull-away," yelled a ro- htiKt lad, who had eluded parental watch' nuness tor a lew minutes, and In an Instant a rollicking, shouting mob of youngsters were having the time of their lives on one of the open stretches of the park. 'Ante-over,"' with the Oregon "Volun teers" monument as a substitute for the old barn cr srhoolhou.se. which the older ones once appropriated for this particular form of diversion, furnished fun for not only scores of youngsters, but for hun dreds of grown-ups who watched the sport from the rustic benches. men mere was tne "Zoo." This, one or the greatest treats Portland has to offer the Juveniles of the citv and visitors as well, was besieged, the crowds of yes terday surpassing In size those of ordi nary Sundays of the Summer. Two attractions divided Interest among the thousands who spent the afternoon In the park. One, of course, was the mon key house, and the other the guinea pigs. Hut the monkey house was a good deal of a disappointment, for the entertaining little Simians, apparently, did not know that Spring was at hand and but two or three of the older "monks" ventured out Into the open cage to amuse the crowd. These appeared to be tn fine fet tle and hurled back the peanuts as fast as they were tossed Into the wire screened cages. The guinea-pig house was Jammed all afternoon. Rows and rows of little pens as tun or me as an ant hill wero objects or interest to most of the Park visitors. The amusing little animals were eager to grab at any kind of tld-blt that was flung to them, and their amusing strug gles for the tempting morsels were worth the full "price of admission." -Scenery at Its Best. The bear pits, the aviaries and the deer, antelope and elk stockades were all well patronized and hundreds sat for hours on the bluffs above the park and viewed the bread landscape that lay below them, the vast stretches of picturesque scenery stretching away, for many miles, toward the Willamette, the low lying hills on the East Side, the rising buttes beyond, and farther In the dis tance the snowcapped mountains. Every automobile In the city was work ing overtime. They hurried and scrried everywhere. They Invaded parks: they scorched through the business streets: they whisked out Into the suburbs and into the country districts where the "top steed" lever could be used without police interference. Real estate men had shown foresight enough to take advantage of the day's opportunities, and their glowing adver . Using in the morning papers had the re sult of packing all cars tapping the new additions and tracts where Investments are offered to homeseekers, homebulld eis and Investors in residence and suburban property. Agents for all open trans were "Johpny on the spot" ana gave visitors and prospective buyers a warm welcome. To sum up, yesterday was a pretty good sample of a real enjoyable early-Spring Sunday. REFORM AN EVOLUTION Revolution the Climax of Long Con tinued Growth. Walter Thomas Mills, of Seattle, ad dressed the People's Forum last night THOUSANDS on -Evolution and Revolution in Mod ern Life." ' In applying the doctrine of evolu tion to present day conditions, the speaker said that certain Institutions existed from economic necessity and would last as long; as they rendered service to society. Reforms are not to be effected by antagonizing the present order, but by discovering where so ciety Is nearest right and quickening the processes of social and Industrial evolution and so arrive at the con summation of social revolution. "Evolution Is a process," said Mr. Mills, "revolution is the consummation. The theor. of evolution is that every thing is in a constant state of change physical, Industrial and political. Rev olution does not mean destruction. It means revolving from the lower to the higher condition. It only means that that advance shall be of such a rad ical character that the new form shall be such that its basic principle Is entirely different. "The real revolutionist, the man who has made possible any revolution that !s worth revolving; is the man who through study and earnest effort has helped to make progress away from the thing that was outgrown towards the good that was sincerely desired. Discover the trend of the social forces; use such power as you have to so modify the results as shall bring them nearest to the point desired; train them to do your bidding; he a part of the process of every day evolution. f revolution Is to be effectively car ried out." SG RAMBLE FOR VACANCIES MAST SEEK BERTHS OX RAI) ROAD ooMmssionr. Clyde B. AJtchison and T. K. Camp bell, Whose Terms Are Expiring, Are Seeking Nomination. Clyde B. Attchlson, who will be a can didate for election as a member of the Oregon Railroad Commission, on which he Is now serving by appointment of the Governor, will file his petition this week. So far Joseph Gaston is the only other avowed candidate for this state position. io which is attached a salary of $4000 a year. It has been rumored that H. C. Campbell is a candidate, tout Mr. Camp bell said last night that he would not make the race under any conditions. The Commission is made up of three members and was created by the last Legislature. -When the matter of creat ing the Commission came before the Legislature there appeared two measures, one called the Bingham bill, which was introduced In the Senate,, and the other the Chapin bill, Introduced in the House. The oills were practically Identical, but the Senate made some changes In its bill that met with the disapproval of the House, and it was rejected. The result was that when the bill was finally passed It left with the Governor the power to appoint for the long term and In consequence the plum fell to Os wald West, a Democrat. Commissioner West's term does not expire until July, 1910, but the Commissioners from the first and second Congressional districts mnst be elected In 1908. Commissioner Aitchison and Joseph Gaston are the only candidates men tioned so far from the second Congres sional district, although there was some talk last week of A. B. Croasman, once Postmaster of Portland, being a candi date. In the first district T. K. Campbell, of Cottage Grove, will . be a candidate to succeed himself, he being now & mem ber of the Commission. In Southern Oregon there will be a number of candidates. Among those talked of so far is James U. Campbell, of Oregon City. Campbell's close rela tionship with certain land-fraud defend ants will probably work against him in the primaries.- Another Oregon City can didate mentioned In Grant B. Dlmick who Is at present County Judge of Clack-f amas vjouniy. juse wny judge Ulmick should want a place on the Railroad Commission Is not known; there is some talk that Judge Dlmick does not want the place and that It Is his cousin, W. A, JJimlcK, who would be Commissioner. Another state office that has not as yet attracted candidates is that of the Dairy and Food Commissioner. J. w. Bailey, the present Commissioner, is the only candidate so far to announce himself. Commissioner Bailey Intends to file his petition before the end of the week. Com' mlssioner Bailey is thoroughly familiar with the work of the Dairy and Food Commission, as he has been connected with the office for the past ten years.

GREEKS ARE OFFENDERS Found Huddled Like Sheep In Tiny Cottages in Xorth End of City. Health Officer Asks the Authorities to Act: Acting on reports made by Deputy City Health Officer Parker and by sev eral patrolmen of his relief. Captain of Police Bailey, with a squad of officers, raided three email lodging-houses occu pied by a oolony of Greeks on Seven teenth and Savier streets at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, and arrested 60 per sons for violating the so-called "cublo air ordinance." Dr. Parker had been investigating for severaLdays, and when he had accumu lated evidence sufficient to warrant ac tion on the part of the police, he re ported to Captain Bailey. On the ar rival of the police on the scene, a no tice was found posted on the door of S64 North Seventeenth street, which Is construed as a threat against Health Officer. The message read as follows: Please aon t you come over nere any more at this time at 1 or 2 o'clock in the night, because you will get hurt. If you want to come,-you can at 6 or 7 o'clock In the evening. At the bottom of this rudely-scrawled notice was the legend: "ByOrder of the Men." The houses raided were 364 North Seventeenth street, 366 North Sixteenth street and 531 Savier street, all small cottages. At the Seventeenth-street house 11 men were found living in two small rooms, reeking with filth. The worst of the three places was the Sixteenth-street house, where 20 men and one woman were found huddled in a small space, surrounded by such an ac cumulation of filth that several of the police officers were made deathly sick by the stench. - Fifteen men were rounded up in the Savier-street place. All were taken to the Police Station In the patrol wagon, which made three .trips. On the third trip the wagon was disabled by a broken axle, and therest of the prisoners were walked to head quarters by three officers. At the sta tion, Saturday night "drunks" filled all the cells, and It was found necessary to release the Greeks on their own rec ognizaence. Three of the men, each of whom acknowledged being a "land lord," were held in Jail by Captain Bailey. Almost nightly the police are called upon to act in similar cases. It is in variably Greeks. Hindus or other for eigners of low caste who herd together like sheep, and seemingly .have no con ceptlon of ventilation or cleanliness. The three men held at police head quarters gave - their names as: John Baslsh, 366 North Sixteenth street Mike Pete, 364 Seventeenth street, and Tony Suciard, 631 Savier street.

That members of these organizations have simply been agitating along false lines, found ing their statement upon false facts, la too plain to the observer of every-day affairs. From the locality of their meeting place they have chosen prominent men who favored them with a few remarks, but In all these speeches and harangues, they have yet failed to speak from facts, only from surmises, not on what is or has been, but what will be. For the benefit principally of the members of these several organizations and the speakers who have spoken for them at varioua times, these facts and statistical data are submitted. It is a recognized fact that the last two years have shown a tendency of the Jap anese government and an endeavor on its part to restrict as much as possible the amount of immigration to our shores. It has even refused to grant passports to those la borers who were headed directly for the main land, and not our Pacific Island Hawaii. "Who are they, whence did they come and whyT The Japanese who went to the Ha waiian Islands were farm laborers, skilled in the labor for which the plantation -owner hired them, and able to perform a work which the white man In a -way is prone to look down upon. They went there because they found profitable employment. Because the agitation against them spread from the States to Hawaii, the Japanese were discharged ana are now here on our Pacific Coast, brought over by the steamship companies at an enor mous financial rain. There is no cause for alarm among the la boring people or other citizens of the Pacific Coast. The orffanlzatlons above referred to seem to found their agitation and excitement upon the numbers of Japanese immigrants who, they say, must be stopped from coming Into our country-" Let me ask them a ques tion. Do they know how many Japanese, In proportion to other foreigners, have come to these United States the last two years? In 1905-6 the Japanese immigration amounted to one twenty-fifth of the Italians, one eighteenth of the Russian immigrants, one twenty-iourm of the Austrlans, Hungarians, and so on down the list. The Japanese immigration Is so In significant that it admits of no comparison with that from European countries. men again this proportion Is not computed from the number that cams to the Pacific Coast, but the total number of Japanese who have come to the United Etates and to Hawaii compared to the to,tal foreign. "We must understand that wnen japanene do come to our Coast States they do not always stay here, for as statistics show, a considerable number, say 2O0O or more, yearly return to their native country, and to do them Justice should be deducted always from the number rated as Immigrating. Even this esti mate of departures Is considerably smaller than the actual number of those yearly em igrating. r From. .the comparison before stated, wblcn Is a true deduction, we can easily comprehend- the extent of Japanese Immigration. Exclusionists have declared that there are about 150.000 Japanese In the United States. These numbers are appalling, and when they are burned In the minds of the credulous, their senses are aroused. The fact of the matter is. there are. aocordlng to the Consular census, 65.000 In the entire United States. The most powerful argument that the ex clusionists have against Japanese Immigra tion Is that. If Japanese are permitted to come in as they have been coming, they will Jeopardize the wages and happiness of our brother toilers. I have something to say further on In this connection. . They will argue again that the Vapanese are dolna all the farming. Do tneyr un what do you found your assertions? If they go outside of our city and till several acres of land that before were waste, why do you take this matter for agitation? Have they done wrong? I say not. If other aliens are permitted to do farming, then why discrim inate against the Japanese? Don't you know that no matter what land is cuiuvateo. whether by a Hungarian, a German, an Italian or a Jananese. it is promotive to tne weaim of this country? It promotes the wealth for it Is an Increase of production and demand for same is ever Increasing both at home ana abroad Take, for Instance, Southern California, What have the Japanese dona there? Have the exclusionists - examined the matter for themselves? I have. - In several Southern cities the Japanese have secured a few bun dred acres that the white man had Just as good a chance to get before his yellow brother. and what was the result? Waste land before, unfilled and unculti vated; now a paradise of orange groves and vineyards. Is this not an addition to the wealth and benefit of the country affecting and benefiting the laboring man Indirectly In more ways than one? Are the Japanese laborers poor, as a rule, when they enter this country? No. It is worthy to note that in 1905-'06 and '07, the Japanese who came to our shores like otner Immigrants, were In a happy financial condi tion, bringing with them more than $37 per capita, which Is lees only than the amount brought by the German and English, and more than the other Immigrants coming from various European countries. The lnfinitesslmal portion of Japanese aggregating about 84 of the entire number in 1906 who had been re fused admission for the reason that they were likely to become public charges. Is so small compared with that of other European immi grants as not to be ground for comment by the exclusionists. Out of the entire num- hex1 of Japanese Immigrants in 1905 and '06, only three became publlo charges. This figure is almost naught by the side of the enormous fi gures of European- Immigrants who became Dublio charges in those same years. As statistics show, thlB Is inducive to the conclusion that the Japanese are generally of sound physique, capable of engaging In the hardest toil to earn their living. What work do the Japanese engage in? They are usually engaged In the kinds of work which the American worklngman does not' care to enter into. The exclusionists say that the Japanese underbid American la bor. Facts as given in the reports of the bureaus of labor of the United States leave no ground on which to substantiate such a charge. Before the panic statistics of the bureaus of the Pacific Coast Bhowed that the wages of labor had been increasing steadily, Because the Japanese might get leas wages In certain kinds of work than that paid Amer ican laborers, does that mean they sell their labor at a cheap price? I say such a con clusion Is far from true. Wherever the Jap anese work they get the highest wages that they can reasonably ask. In physical strength they are not equal to their white fellow work ingmen, and on that account, in some work cannot reasonably ask the same wages as are paid white workingmen. Such Is the economical standpoint from sta tistics and facts. What is the effect of Im migration upon mercantile pursuits of the Pacific Coast? Merchants and dealers of the Coast States do not countenance this ex elusion movement. Why? This Is the rea son. The daily requirements of the Japanese, with the exception of a few things, are Bought here, very few of his living require ments being: Imported from his native coun try The Japanese wear American clothes, use American furniture, and subsist on Amer ican food. -These are undisputed facts and any arguments otherwise are simply ground less. , It may be safe to say that business men are willing to welcome Japanese immigrants. The Intelligent and falrmlnded American recognizes the fact that the United States and the Empire of Japan are bound together by the ties of commerce, trade and old friend ship, which have in the past proved, and in the future will prove, of great advantage to both countries, and if preserved, the agita tion of the simple-minded and reports of "yel low journals' excepted, will bring about th best results and greatest reciprocal advantages to both. I believe that any immigration treaty which would discriminate against the Japanese by denying- the people of that country ordinary rights or privileges granted to the people of other civilized or less civilized nations, would be uncalled for and would be detii mental to the best interests of our Pacific Coast.
