INDEPENDENTS TO NOMINATE Hearst Party Will Hold Mass Meet- ing Tomorrow Night. Presidential electors, four In number, will be nominated at a mass meeting to be held by the members of the Inde pendence party in Alisky Hall, at 8 o clock tomorrow msni. tiugn J. aicisaac. of San Francisco. Pacific Coast organ iser for the Hearst party, will be in the city and see that the business of the mass meeting is transacted properly. Other speakers are expected from Los Angeles, reporta Paullnus McDonald, who is in chanre of the local headquarters of the Independence party, and some of the members of the new political organization residing In this city may also address the meeting. But the principal thing to be done at the meeting is to select four men whose names will appear on the offi cial ballot at the November election as candidates of the Independence party for Presidential electors. John Temple Graves, candidate for Vice President on the Independence party ticket, was scheduled to be in Porjland tomorrow and deliver a political address, hut Mr. McDonald said yesterday that it was not likely Mr. Graves would be able to All his Portland engagement be cause of Illness. The local officers of the Independence party have not heard any thing definite from H.

An attempt was made at a regular meeting of the Multnomah Typographical Union yesterday to have that organiza tion indorse the candidacy of Bryan. A motion to that effect was offered but the chairman ruled it out of order, the union's constitution prohibiting the con sideration of all political matters. How ever, the sum of CO was appropriated to aid Samuel Gompers in his campaign work. Thla action virtually amounted to Indorsing the Nebraskan, since Gom prs is working actively In the Interest of the Democratic candidate. CHURCHES MAY COMBINE (Continued Prom First Pace ) . this property Is K8.000. When it was purchased, about six years ago. It cost lio.OOO. The First Church also owns mission property at Arbor Lodge valued at several hundred dollars. The first structure owned by the First Presbyterian Church, after it waa organized in Portland. January 1. 1S54, was a frame structure at Third and Washington streets, where Felden helmer's Jewelry store now stands. The tone structure at Twelfth and Alder streets was finished and dedicated in 1890, having been two years in build ing. The small congregation of the SOs has grown nntll the church now has 1100 members. Should the two bodlaa unite, tills membership will be swelled to 1450. as the Calvary Church has a present membership of about 250. The latter church waa organized in February. 18S2, 50 members of the First Church placing their membership with the new body. Thus, In the union of the two bodies, It is felt that the mother church Is receiving her child home again. Rev. T. S. Cassrey was the first pastor of the First Church, serving In that capacity from 1M0 to 1SS7. In that year. Rev. A. L Llndsley was called to take his place, and was the pastor between lf8 and 1SS6. Rev. A. J. Brown then led the flock for seven years, being sue oeeded by Rev. Edgar P. Hill. Dr. Wil liam Hiram Foulkes. the present pastor of the church, was his successor. Rev.B. E. S. Ely was the last pastor of the Calvary Presbyterian Church. Sev eral months ago he resigned his position. The Calvary church has since endeavored In vain to obtain a pastor. Dr. Warren H. Landon, of California, was called. but failed to accept the place, so that the pulpit Is now vacant. Dr. W. S. Gil bert was the pastor before Dr. Ely. He was chaplain of the Second Oregon Regi ment In the Philippines, and Is now pas tor of the Astoria Presbyterian Church. ,"- . . - ... it ; ; 5 I I s It : "Jf N 1 C. N. McArthur, slated for Secre tary of Republican State Committee. The letter from the First church to the Calvary church, sent about a week ago, Is as follows: The se.slon of the First Presbyterian Church to the officers and congregation of th Calvary Presbyterian Church: Believing that, on account of th prexnt location of Calvary Church, the kingdom of Ood In the world, and Presbyterlanlsm In Portland, will be better served by a Is hereby extended to you to unit with us. In the hope that It will be a help- la living the problem with which Calvary Church has struggled so long and nobly. Our senlon will be clad to suggest to our congregation that the two congregations be given proportionate representation on the boards of eiders, trustees and deacons. It Is suggested that. If you deem It advisable to consider the matter of union, you ap point a committee of three to confer with a like committee from our church, so that the details of th union may be arranged. August 23. laOS. of the dangers to the labor cause from foes within. He said that the day of labor has dawned, and with It the oppor tunity of the church, as well as its re sponsibility. They are to be. he said as two divisions of an army, led by their divinely human leader. Last night Dr. Foulkes spoke upon the question. "What Shall I Do With My Sin?" This is the first of a series of four Sunday night sermons, the subjects of the others, which will be taken up beginning next week, being. "What Shall I Do in the Swelling of Jordan?" "What Shalll I Do With the Still Small Voice "Whaf Shall I Do With Jesus?" Dr. Foulkes said in part yesterday morning: The cause of labor, eanctloned by ths Creator's flat. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." can never lose the dignity it acquired at Its birth, that of being the first-born child of humanity. To writs the history of labor Is to be the biographer of the human race. The story or tne rise and fall of nations must be written In terms of human toil. Neither does this industrial age In which we live, nor do the organizations of laborers which have made It possible, possess monopoly upon labor Itself. They are only entering into an ageless heritage which they must hand down to otners. Idlers Depend on Others. Even the sheerest Idler that ever graced the ties of a railroad track, scorning honest toil la dependent none the less upon ths .work of others for his precarious and yet self-Instituted manner of life. The road bed and track upon which he walks are- moistened by the sweat or tnose wno leit something beside footprints on their path. The tin can In which he cooks bis wayside stew or rushes his chosen beverage from some so-called Worklngman's Paradise. 'was rolled and cut Into shape by hands that had been taught to toil. Even the rick of new mown hay which provides for him' a per fumed couch was bullded by horny-handed sons of toll, from whose contaminating com pany he escapes In the early hours of morn, ing. lest he. too, should have to work. If order is Heaven's first law, labor seems to be Its earthly translation. For the most part, however, it is not the toil which Ood requires which gives us grief, but the burdens which our fellows lay upon us.. I The rankest agitators that ever inflamed a mob would scarcely de precate the beneficent effect of toll upon the toller so fnr s the universal scheme REMAINS THE SAME Well-Brewed Poatnm Always Palatable. The flavor of Postum, when boiled according to directions, is always the same mild, distinctive, and palatable. It contains no harmful substance like caffeine, 'the drug in coffee, and hence may be used with benefit at all times. "Believing that coffee was the cause of my torpid liver, sick headache and misery in many ways," writes an Ind. lady, "I quit and bought a package of Postum about a year ago. "My husband and I haVe been so well pleased that we have continued to drink Postum ever since. We like the taste of Postum better than coffee, as It haa always the same pleasant flavor, while coffee changes its taste with about every new combination or blend. "Since using Postum I have had no more attacks of gall colic, the heavi ness has left my chest, and the old, common, every-day headache is a thing unknown." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, Read "The Road to Well- llle," in pkgs. Ever read the above letterf A new one appears from time to time. They are srenulne, true, sad full of human interest. of things goss. ' The most conservative student that even hesitated before the labor problem will not deny that enforced labor at the hands . of fellow men. work dis proportionate to wage, toll that not only makes men sweat, but that maims, wounds, weakens and enervates them, and in the prime of manhood, having sapped their strength, casts them upon the scrap heap, that Is the sort of toil that ought to have a curse, whose effect will be felt on those who Inflict It, and not upon him who has to endure It. Tornado of Socialism. Around this latter type of labor as a storm center the economic movements of the past decades have been surely gather ing. With it as a nucleus the swift advanc ing tornado of Socialism threatens to en gulf in Its destructive vortex not only, the oppressor, but the oppressed. In Its light, nay, rather In Its somber shadow, which it casts upon God's fair earth, the church of the living God must take her bearings anew and address her self to its solution with a sincerity that will win Its way despite odds, with a cour age that is worthy of the martyrs and with a patience that is, born of hope, and with a love that has been kindled anew at Cal vary. Labor's foes within are more to be feared than those, without. Conscientious men in the ranks of organised labor know better than you or I do the craft and power of unscrupulous leaders. We laugh at the demagogus; they tremble before him. How many times has labor been sold out at the hands of Its treacherous leaders? There Is not alone treachery to its charge, but criiffe of a revolting sort, whose evidence Is so strong and circumstantial, so complete that thoughtful men are believing the words of a self-confesed murderer though a sworn Jury refused to believe them, concerning In trigues and diabolical villainy. The labor- movement must purge Itself of the suspicion of these things, wash Its bands In the sincere waters of regret and dis avowal. To Idolise the 'men who he.ve es caped the gallows by a halrsbreadth. is to alienate the interest and support of thousands. BISHOP TALKS AT SELLWOOD Right Rev. Charles Scaddlng Shows Need of Spiritual Culture. The Right Rev. Charles Scaddlng of ficiated at St. John's Church, Sellwood, yesterday morning. He formally re ceived eight new boys into the vested choir, and also received and set apart for religious use two handsome brass crosses, one a processional cross, and the other for the altar, given as memo rials by members of the church. After expressing his appreciation of the loy alty and energy of the parishioners, the bishop promised to lay the foundation stone of their new parish house on Saturday afternoon next. The people have already raised almost the entire amount needed for this building, which Is to be up-to-date in every way, pro viding ample accommodation for a fully graded Sunday-school, choir and guild rooms. Taking for his text, "The. letter kllleth, but the spirit maketh alive," from the epistle for the day, the bishop made an earnest plea for spiritual cul ture. 1: New Buildings at Albany. ALBANY. Or., Sept,. 6. (Special.) Two large, two-etory brick buildings will be erected on the site of the recent fire which destroyed four wooden buildings in the First-street business district in this city. Work will begin at once on a build ing 100 feet long, with a frontage of S3 feet, on the property of Mrs. S. Brenner and Mis Fannie Brenner. Dr. A. Stark and Frank G. Will, who own the remainder of the property In the burned area, have announced that they will also build a two-story structure on their property, which Is 100 feet long and has a First-street frontage of 50 feet. They have not definitely decided to erect the building this Fall, however, but will probably do so. Contest Begins Today Don't overlook the "Reason Why" contest, which begins this morning at the popular tailor shop of the Columbia Woolen Mills Company. Yesterday's papers explained the contest fully. This contest should interest every man in Portland. There is no element of chance connected with it. It is simply a method we have taken to learn the "Reason Why" Columbia-Tailored Clothes are so popular why you selected this shop to make your' clothes. It is for the best original "Reason Why" that we are offering cash prizes this week, to be judged by a representative from the advertising departments of each of the three local newspapers. lOOCa 6 To Seven Customers The first hundred purchasers of suits will be entitled to submit their "Reasons Why." The first prize will be $50; second prize $25; and five prizes of $5 each. These amounts will be paid in cash as soon as the result of the contest is an nounced by the judges. The reputation of the Columbia Woolen Mills Company is back of this con test. All "Reasons Why" will be judged without knowledge as to the name of the person who submitted it; each will be numbered, the number and name sealed until after the prize-winners are selected. The contest will remain open for only a few days for a week at most so it behooves the purchaser of a Fall suit to avoid delay.

Hops are a tonic also an aid to sleep. That's what you get in beer. That's doctor says "drink beer" when one lacks vitality, quiets the nerves, not because of the alcohol, only per cent, of that. But because of the hops, for hops are soporific. A bottle of Schlitz-at bedtime induces sleep. In every way the drinking of beer is good for you, pro viding the beer is pure. It is only the wrong beer that leads to bad after effects and to biliousness. Schlitz beer is pure. We spend more on purity than on all. other costs of our brewing. Even the air that cools it is filtered. And every bottle is sterilized. There is all the good of beer, and none of the harm, in Schlitz. Ask for the Brewery Bottling. Common beer is sometimes substituted for Schlitz. To avoid being imposed upon, see that the cork or eroum is branded Schlitz. Phonft Mafti '2779 Sherwood & Sherwood 8 Front St., S. E. cor.
