THE 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."

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.

Police Arrest Violators of Ven

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.

workingmen, and that has been the result.
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.
