DO. BROUGHER NOT
FEARFUL OF JIBES
Expects Criticism of "What
Would Jesus Do" Movement
Launched Tomorrow.
MOTTO NOT OBLIGATORY
Says It Is Free Country and Anyone
Can Accept or Reject Suggestion
as lie Pleases Kndeavors to
Stimulate Christianity.
Dr. J. Wliiteomh Brougher will begin
his double series of sermons tomorrow at
the White Temple, on "What Jesus Did"
and "What Jesus Would Do." At the
suggestion of criticisms made upon his
scheme. Dr. Brougher simply smiled and
said. "Oil, I expected criticism, and it
does not bother tne In the least. I am
treating these things already as I think
Jesus would. You remember that "when
he was reviled, he reviled not again. I
du not think that Jesus-would criticise a
Iran that he did not know and had never
met." Wlilln Dr. Brougher did not say
so. It was evident that he was referring
to Revs. Henrick and Ruth of the Naz.
arene Church, who had criticised him
rather severely, although they admitted
they did not know hfm or his methods.
Continuing along this line. Dr. Brougher
said:
"I have received a number of letters
favorable and unfavorable. Some people
who say they ars living like Jesus, were
severely criticised in these letters by
their neighbors, mho declared that if
others only knew how these people lived
their public criticism of me would have no
weight with anyone. I cm perfectly wil
ling for the public to Judge as to the
motive and spirit of such criticisms as
have been made against this movement
thus far. I shall tuke no time in replying
to any criticism whatever. It Is my be
lief that most Christians endeavor to fol
low Jesus as their example and ideal, but
there are not very many, however, who
are ready to admit that they could not do
better.
Suggestion Is Welcomed.
"Personally. I believe .that most Chris
tians will welcome any suggestion, ques
tion or motto that will help them to real
ize their ideal more fully. Of course
some have criticised the movement, be
cause they do not understand its purpose.
When they understand Its object. I think
they will be in hearty accord with the
movement. Others do not want to under
stand It.
Question Not New One.
"They simply desire to scoff or ridicule
evangelical Christianity and they are
watching for an opportunity to do so. But
sneering and scoffing are not arguments
and have no weight with the Intelligent
public. May I say again, that this ques
tion is not a new one. Most Intelligent
p?ople remember Dr. Sheldon's book on
this subject. It Is simply emphasizing
an old question with the hope that It will
enable Christian people to make a more
practical application of the life of Christ
to tneir own dally problems and experi
ences. I believe that those who agree
not to say or do anything before asking
the question. ' nat would Jesus do?' will
be more strongly Influenced by his spirit
and teachings In their speaking and act
ing than they would without asking the
question. Consequently. I shall begin,
tomorrow, a series of sermons on t lie life
of Christ to re-emphasize the principles
and power that guided and controlled his
life. Then it shall be my purpose In the
evening rigidly to apply these principles
to the problems of daily life, and see if it
may not be possible for Christians who.
are already following Christ to do so
more perfectly thai they ever have in the
past.
Motto Not Obligatory.
'"No one will he condemned for not
accepting this question as a guimng
principle. No one v.ill be coerced Into
taking It as a motto. This is an abso
lutely free country, and every Chris
tian has a right as well as every one
else to accept pnly such things as he
may consider helpful to himself. Those
who want to hear tlrese sermons will
come and get whatever help they can.
Those who do not want to hear them
don't have to. There Is room enough
for us all In this world to be happy.
"There has been a misinterpretation
of the facts concerning this movement.
It Is not Intended as a two weeks' ex
periment to live as Jesus did. but a
revival of the lessons he taught, so as
to enable us all to take up our lives
daily In the spirit which inspired him,
and by gaining strength from having
that spirit as a constant reminding aid
to us. to make our lives better. It Is
quite true that this Is not a new idea,
and It Is Just as true that church mem
bers of every denomination are expect
ed to live as nearly like Jesus did as
they can. But the continual every
day contemplation of Christ's example
can surely be considered with human
affairs and life, and cannot fall of be
ing uplifting. t
"The Impress of Jesus Christ's life
upon the world Is the most lasting
for good on the records of time. To
stamp .anew and again and again on
men's and women's hearts that impress
seems to me to be the duty of all who
have the ennobling and spiritualizing
of humanity at heart. I cannot quarrel
with my brother ministers as to how
this should best be done. Nor can I
determine for others their acceptance
or denial of the purpose on my part
lovingly and steadfastly to do my duty
as I see and feel It in the present in
stance. The test of all conduct Is sin
cerity. To be sincere one must expect
ridicule and condemnation at first, but
I know that this bringing dally and
MB
shapeliness. All of this can be avoided, however; by the use of
Mother't Friend before baby comes, as this great liniment always

APOLOGIZES FOR TILLMAN
Ingenuous Ijjlng'ls to Be Forgiven
In a Senator of the United States.
FOREST GROVE. Jan. 18. tTo the Edi
tor. ) In an editorial article In The Weekly
Oregonlan of January 21. under caption i-f
"Dorr vs Tillman," you say. "But Tillman,
clearly. Is. In the Foraker jlass. or wj.se
And vim said In an eldlorlal Cn The Dally
Orefronlan that Tillman tried to grab puo
llc land. In which you do Mr. Tillman
gross Injustice. The land he proposed la
purchase is not public land, but is ohulJ
bv the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and he had a perfect right to buy
some of It, or all of It. if he could.
He had been touring In Oregon and baa
Hmed about the value of the timber on
parts of this land, and he Instructed his
aftvnt to procure a reservation of nine
quarter sections for hlmpelf and the mem
bers of his family. And he Introduced
a resolution In the Senate to compel the
Southern Paclttc corporation to sell the
land for $2.5(1 per acre In accordanoa with
the terms of the grant, and while this
action was to his private Interest It was
of infinitely greater Interest to the pub
lic. If his personal Interest Incited him to
this action for too public benefit It Is for
tanate for the public that his private In
terest formed a factor In the proceeding.
He proceeded openly, as any private citi
zen would, to buy the land, and did not
use his offlre as Senator to force the cor
poration to sell him the property In ques
tion. The fact that he was Senator did
not preclude his rlfiht to buy the land nor
was It In derogation of his office that he
should buy It. His only offense in the
transaction was his statement to the Sen
ate that he had made no application for
nor had undertaken to obtain any land.
In a technical sense In the sense that
he had not entered Into any contract to
purchase the land he told tlM truth, but
In a larger sense he had made application
to an agent for the land. His statement
to the Senate was disingenuous to say the
least, and It Is a pity, for Mr. Tillman,
up to this ewnt. had borne an honorable
name for rugged honesty and moral cour
age. But The Oregonian errs greatly In as
serting that "Tlilmai Is in Foraker's class."
for Foraker was paid SID. 000 by Standard
Oil for his Inlluence In procuring legisla
tion In the interest of that lawless corpora
tion, which was clearly proved In the cor
respondence between him and Arciibold. as
published In The Oregonian and the press
throughout the country. It Is monstrous
exaggeration to say that Tillman's offense
Is euual to Foraker's offense crime! It Is
an Injustice that The Oregonlan should
atone for. It looks as if you had grown
so weary of publishing Republican sub
serviency to corporations and trusts and
unfaithfulness to the interests of the peo
ple and rottenness in high places, that vou
lost your head and pounced upon the first
Democrat whose good name bad been ques
tioned bv our strenuous President, without
a careful examination of the plain facts in
thfl case.
Vou sum up your conditions about the
Tillman episode as follows: "From two
points of obwtion he never will be able
to clear himself, namely, that it will not
do for a man In his position to attempt to
make personal gain in transactions In
which any Interest of the Government or
of the public Is concerned, and that an
untruthful statement In the Senate Is not
onlv an offense against that body but
against the moral sense of the country.
As to the "untruthful statement" It was
not absolutely falsehood, but it was dis
ingenuous and unworthy of so honest a
man as senator Tillman. And as to the
first point of "objection." as I have statcu.
It Is an unworthy conclusion. As said
above. Tillman did not try to buy public
land, and therefore did not try to make
personal gain In a transaction in which
the Government er the public Is concerned.
True, the Government is making an ef
fort to secure the forfeiture of the land
grant to the corporation of whom Tillman
wanted to purchase the nine quarter sec
tions, but the corporation holds a I'nlted
Statv-s patent to the land and Is the un
doubted owner of the same. '
But Is this first "objection" of The Ore
gonlan true in all cases? l ulled States Sen
ators in some Instances have made per
sonal 'gain in transactions from the knowl
edge they had gained in the recent ses
sions of the Senate relative to a proposed
Increase of tariff on certain commercial
commodities. I have been Informed that a
certain Senator from Oregon, knowing that
the duty on Iron would be increased, bongnt
a large stock of hardware and that lie
made a considerable fortune by i lie tran
saction, and undoubtedly other Senators who
had a like opportunity did the same thing,
or would have done it, had the oppor
tunity been presented. Now. was thcie
anything wrong about that? It may be
that mv sensibilities (not being a Repub
lican) are somewhat dulled, or even negli
gible, but I am unable to discern any In
fraction of the moral code in such a tran
saction. Mr. Tillman Is not a Chesterfield
In his manners. I.Ike the hero of Sin
clair's "Jungle." his pitchfork has been busy
several years In forking the offal and
ordure of Republican administration,
which is. doubtless. the real cause
of the wild onslaught made upon
him bv the Bulls of Itashan of the Re
publican press and the beneficiaries of the
spoils svstem. I am not an old party ad
herent or apologist like Mercutlo. I say, "A
plague o' tioth your houses" but I dis
like to see Injustice done even to a po
litical antagonist. U. B. U'CE.
Mr. Luce argues passably in a bad
cause, but he might just as well have
saved himself the trouble. Tillman's
offense against public decency Is per
fectly clear. No amount of quibbling
can change Us nature or cleanse him
of guilt. He used his position as Sen
ator to further his private Interest and
then denied that he had done so. No
man of fine honor or high principle
would have committed either of these
acts. Mr. Tillman committed both and
apparently he would do it again if he
liad the chance. Such a man is just as
unfit for public trust as Foraker is.
Ills offense Is different, but it Is quite
as rank, and smells -to heaven as
strongly, it is a pity that" he should
find apologists among citizens who
ought to know better.

TIGER HIS UNDOING
Van Auker Loses Suit Because
Known as, Gambler.
CASE DROPPED BY JUDGE
Only Chance for cx-Caliior of Kai
nicr Hank to Kenew light for
$25,000 Damages Lies
In Appeal.
Unless counsel for Charles S. Van Au
ker. former cashier of the State Bank of
Rainier, who brought suit against the
Xational Surety Company for damajf.-s
amounting to 125.000. should appeal from
the decision rendered yesterday by Judtre
Wolverton In the United States Circuit
Court, he will gt no damages. After
both sides rested Thursday afternoon. At
torneys Carey and Flanders for the Sure
ty Company, moved for a directed verdict,
and yesterday Judge Wolverton sustained
the motion and the case was thrown out
of court.
Van Auker sought to recover damages
from the Surety Company because,
through Its agent. George W. Allen, it
had caused his arrest, following the sen
sational daylight robbery of tlie Rainier
bank. September 3. 1906. Mr. Allen, who
is manager f6r the Surety Company,
with headquarters at Seattle, came to
Oregon shortly after the robbery to make
an Investigation. He discovered that Van
Auker. who was then the cashier, had
gambled, not only at Astoria, but at the
,Milwaukle Country Club, near Portland.
Mr. Alien's brother, Harrison Allen, was
then restrict Attorney for Columbia
County, and after endeavoring to get
Carlton Lewis, president of the Stat?
Bank of Rainier, to sign the complaint.
Allen swore to the Information himself,
upon the advice of Harrison Allen.
Van Auker had a preliminary hearing
before a Justice of the Peace and was ac
quitted. Based upon his acquittal. Van
Auker brought suit against the Surety
Company, whom he alleged ruined his
character and cost him his position as
cashier. The trial began on Monday and
a great number of witnesses were liea.'d.
Among them were the former employes of
the Mllwaukle Country Club, where Van
Auker v had done considerable, gambling.
Undoubtedly It was the testimony of tha
gamblers and Van Auksr's own admission
that he had gambled which caused the
case to Jje thrown out of court.
Van Auker s attorneys. D. J. Haynes
and E. S. J. McAllister, sought to prove
tlie arr?st of Van Auker, after the Jus
tice Court hearing, was mauclous prose
cution, but Judge Wolverton held that
Allen was actuated by probable cause
when he Instituted criminal proceedings
against the ex-cahlcr. The complainant's
attorneys have not decided -whether they
will ask for an appeal.
Van Auker was alone in the bank when
the robbery took place. He told on the
witness stand that tlie job was Accom
plished by two men. One man. he said,
held a gun to his face, while the other
went into the vault and found a rope. The
cashier was bound with this rope and left
in a directors' room in the rear of the
bank.
LIVING AS JESUS LIVED
J'liilistine Offer.-; Suggestions Dis
turbing to Theologians.
PORTIAND. Jan. 20. (To the Editor.)
I approach The Oregonlan In preat awe and
trepidation for advice on a matter of what
I conceive to be of vital Importance an J
shall largely lean on suggestions received.
A great many people are preparing, tinder
the Instruction of Kev. Mr. Brougher, lo
live and do and practice his precep-'s as
Jesus would were he living, for two weeks
In this city. I wish to be advised as to some
conditions that will probahly arise In which
I am as yet in considerable perplexity.
I believe it to be against the law to sell
or give away liquor In the City of Portland
without first obtaining a license so to do,
and when I am called upon to make three
or four barrels of wine to finish a wedding
feast as Jesus did. am I liable to the law if
I do not first procure a wholesale liquor
dealer's license? If so, what is the amount
of that license ? Incidentally, if it proves
as good as that made at ('ana. I will maxe
as much for The Oregnnian and also stock
tip my landlady' cellar.
I havt? a pretty fair wardrobe, procured
during the recent carnival of cheap sales,
and as It la certain that I will be greatly
importuned to give away all I have, the
question Is how to escape the dilemma that
wlil arise after the two weeks' test? If the
trial had been made in December, this
would not havft entered Into the calculation
Had I not best pawn the most of my pres
ent helongings for a very small sum to the
old-clothes man, who from his nationality
hasn't got the "give-away" habit ?
I am well acquainted with Dan Kern and
I know he wants his quarry at Fishers
Landing moved about a thousand feet closer
te the river, so that he can load rock n
Government barges fur 10 cents per ton,
which Is now costing him at last 43 cent..
I should like to do Mr. Kern a favor, but
my conscience troubles me that In doing sf
It Will put hundreds of laboring men out of
work who now get good wages at his
quarry. I am totd to "take no thought of
the morrow ." for myself, so I suppose 1
need have no concern for anyone else, but I
want people to know that when I "boost"
that mountain over to the river, It Is going
to pretty nearlv make the earth tip up.
I feel just like feeding 4000 to 300ft be
