13 THE MORNING OREG0XIAX, MONDAY, MAY 10. 1909. BE BENEFIT, HE SAYS Church and Labor Might Well Get Together, Believes Dr. Foulkes. TELLS CAUSES OF BREACH Both Need Each Other and Each Has Duties to Fulfill, While They Hare Many Common Objects Toward Which Both Strive. Dr. William Hiram Foulkes. pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, speaking last night upon "The Church and Organ ized Labor," gave the following as the causes of the breach existing between them : "The church has too largely centered its attention on doctrines, and too little on personal and social righteousness. "T'.ie church has sometimes been enam ored of station and power. "The church has often forgotten that it ran never be divided Into classes, but must ever be the common meeting ground of all classes. "Organized church as a labor has Identified the whole with some church members. "Organized labor has too largely over looked the deeper side of life In Its struggle for material things. "Orgalnzed labor has erroneously con sidered that by deserting the church Its own cause would be furthered." Put into practice. Dr. Foulkes' sermon would "probably lead eventually to the amalgamation of organized labor and the church, for, after quoting a part of the pledge ' of the American Federation of I,ahor. he said the church is heartily In sympathM with such a programme. The portion of the pledge quoted says that organized labor aims to bring about "the emancipation of our class from poverty, ignorance and selfishness, to be respect ful in word and action to every woman: to be considerate to the widow and or phan, the weak and defenseless, and never to discriminate against a fellow worker on account of creed, color or na tionality: to educate ourselves and our fellow-worker In the history of the labor movement. We promise that we will never knowingly wrong a brother or see him wronged If In our power to prevent it. We will endeavor to subordinate every selfish impulse to the task of elevating the material, Intellectual and moral con ditions of the entire laboring class." Dr. Foulkes said it is the duty of the church to assure organized labor that her Inter ests and those of the church are mutual In this matter. He continued: Church Needs Labor. "The church needs labor to fill its pews, to he reached by its ministry, to practice Its precepts, to carry Its tidings. It needs organized labor in its social programme as an ally of the first rank. "Organized labor needs the church, be cause It needs what the church, despite all Its faults, offers, a spiritual ministry. an open word, public worship, social fel lowship, a meeting place on an equality with men from all stations of life. It needs the church to save It from Its own inner confusion, to save it from dema gogy, from the impostor, from the fan atic, to save It from some of the curses within its ranks, such as the liquor traf fic: to save It from Its own Ideals, to save it by giving the disinterested sanction of a conscience quickened by a broad view of the whole problem. "With all that may be criticised In it to organized labor is due the marked im provement In the conditions of laboring men and their families. Without organi zation nothing could have been accom pllshed. It Is my own personal convic tion that organized labor Is right In con tending that a man has a right to a share of that which his labor produces: that If there is an unearned increment. It be longs to the public as well as to an In dividual: that personal safety of the la borer is a paramount consideration: that the education of his children Is his and their inalienable right. I may be challenged lor not repre senting the church. My answer Is that In Christianity the labor movement had its rise. It was among the members of the labor guilds In the Apostolic days that the gospel had its freest course. Many of the officers of organized labor today are consistent church members. The worst that can be said of the church with reference to organized labor is that It has been entirely indifferent. Pay of Rest Needed. "Those opposing a legal day of rest which shall be assured, enforced and practically uniform, are striking both the church and organized labor. It does organized labor no lasting good whatever to have a parade and a mass meeting on the lord's day. creating a spectacle of a church-hating organization, which Is not true of the rank and file of Its body. "Organized labor and the church have other things in common. The labor unions have done more for the cause of sobriety than any other purely philanthropic or ganization. A number of unions have laws which deny assistance to a man In jured while Intoxicated. The best labor leaders and practically every labor leader stands out clearly and boldly for tem perance reform. At a conference of 18 employers and IS representatives of unions, it was found that every employer Indulged in strong drink, and only two labor representatives. Labor is discov ering that the liquor traffic not only robs her men of efficiency and comfort, but actually robs them of wages. "JSoth the church and organized labor are against all those Influences destroy ing the home, including false theories of life, easy marriage and easier divorce, the social vice, child-labor, and unsani tary shops. "If organised labor will not trust the modern church completely, let her clear her own skirts of the charges of hypoc risy, unfairness and double-dealing. If labor is willing to recognize that the fair test of an Institution Is Its ideals. If they are sincere, then let her enter Into the fullest and freest relations with the Christian Church, helping the latter bet ter to discern Its true mission In the world and helping labor to be confirmed In Its rights." PASTOR ADVISES YOtXG MEN IleT. J. F. Ghormley Tells Them to Get Hold of Land. Advising the young men In his audience to "get anchored to a ten-acre patch of land and to establish a Christian home. Rev. J. F. Ghormley. of the Central -Chris tian Church, spoke for 20 minutes at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon. He had taken for his text Hebrews vl:l9, which speaks of hope as an anchor to the soul. The speaker said all the good purposes of his hearers bind them to gether, and that their attendance upon the T. M. C. A. men's meeting Indicated WOULD that they wished to be upon the moral side of all great questions. Me spoke of the Northwest as the greatest country in the world, and remarked: "Let us take this country and make it God's coun try." Before Rev. Mr. Ghormley commenced his address all the men present who had been In Portland less than six months were asked to indicate it. About half of the 100 men In attendance raised their bands. There were 14 who had come to the city within the last week, and 15 said they were out of work when they struck town. CHARACTER MOST IMPORTANT Dr. Brourher Says It Counts for More Than Superficial Things. "Priwand Vanity, Respectable Sins," was the subject of Dr. J. W'hltcomb Brougher's sermon at the White Tem ple last night. His text was the story of Haman, Mordecai and Queen Esther. He characterized the historical inci dent as a. graphic illustration of the proverb. "Pride goeth before destruc tion, and a naughty spirit before a fall.'" Iiis sermon, in part, was as fol lows: From t h is storv. 1 wish to draw a few lessons. Prid. and vanity emohaalze ralllnn rather than character. It is character that counts and not office, no office ever yet made a man. If a man hasn't the character and ability to fill a position, that office will never give mm tnose tmnrts. It would be a good thing for our city If some of these two-by-three fellows that are seeking office could see this fact and withdraw before the people have to set them aside without due ceremony. Pride and vanity put emphasis upon circumstance and not upon character. There are many proud people today who are living in the torments of hell because they cannot have the circumstances In -which to live that their proud hearts long for. It takes more than clothes to make a man or woman. And yet pride and vanity are causing many women 1 to go into ex travagant dressing In order to make a dis play that simply prophesies bankruptcy for their husbands or their fathers. When It comes to dress. I think, everything con sidered, that women are more vain than men. They may not be to blame for it for they know that dress has much to do In pleasing most nen. I don't blame most women for trying to tog up and look pretty. It is a difficult thlna- for some of them to do It even then, but all Joking aside, men and women both, today, put emphasis in clothes and give more consideration to dress than they do to the question of character. But in all that goes to make life worth living, and to bring real happi ness. It is character that counts', and not clothes. Preaches on Motherhood. "Mother of Men" was the title of the sermon and services held yesterday morn ing in the Patton Methodist Episcopal Church. It was particularly beautiful and appropriate to the day set apart by the church in honor of all mothers and their responsibilities. In honor of the occasion, and in response to a request of the pastor. Rev. D. D. Watters, nearly all present wore a white carnation. Dr. Watters de livered an appropriate sermon setting forth the great responsibilities that rest on the shoulders of the mothers of the country, which he said were too little ap preciated and understood. Special music was provided for the occasion. In the evening the mission class study gave a recital, with papers and addresses and special music Marine Notes With S5 passengers and a lara quan tity of freneral cargo the steamship Break water, Captain McCann, arrived up at 5:30 o'clock last evening.

Altogether five miles of waterways are ready for use. Next Tuesday automobiles will be run from the city to various point along the ditches In order to give the bus! ness men who have so freely subscribed to the enterprise an opportunity to see in what manner their money Is being spent.

One of these mjjls was re cently purchased by G. O. Bassett, for merly superintendent for the Booth- Kelly Company at Eugene. He will bring logs over the Corvallis & Alsea Railroad a distance of 20 miles. Mr. Bassett is also constructing now an auxiliary mill in the hills six miles northwest of Corvallis. Lumber will be hauled from this mill to the planer in town by a traction engine. Benton County is the home of the China pheasant, and the greatest hatch ery In the state, the famed Simpson farm.

DEVELOP BIG AREA Central Oregon Settling Up, Despite Handicaps. VISITOR TELLS OF TRIP r. M. Lawrence Says Citizens of Progressive Class Are Doing Best to Open Country, Although. Railroad Is Badly Needed. Central Oregon is a coming country, ac cording to J. M. Lawrence, who has Just returned from a business visit to that locality. Mr. Lawrence, who is Receiver of the United States Land Office at Rose burg, formerly resided at Bend, whither he intends to return upon the termination of his service In the Land Office. His good opinion of the region and its pros pect for development is not in any way de pendent upon the recent Imposing railroad talk, for he does not believe that the Deschutes Canyon offers a practicable avenue of approach at this time, and he Is much inclined to discredit the good faith of this movement on the part of the Harrlman interests. "Just six years ago I first went to Bend," said Mr. Lawrence. "I then fpund half a dozen settlers on the river, and there was some activity in public lands. chiefly In the yellow pine of the Des chutes timber belt. There was a post- office, served by a trl-weekly stage, and without money-order facilities absolute ly no other means of communicating with the outside world except by runner, such as the Indians employed in the days of 'The Last of the Mohicans.' Bend Is now an incorporated city of about 600 population, is a Presidential postof- fice, has an excellent high school; Law law and Redmond are considerable towns that were unthought of five years ago, and besides these are postoffices at Tu- malo. Gist, Cline Falls and Powell Buttes, all established within this period Telephone and Mail Service. T am not attempting to catalogue the improvements of the locality, but merely cite an indisputable official evidence of growth. Seven such postofflces where but one was so recently is highly signifi cant, particularly when we hold in mind the development of the rural mail serv Ice also. A network of telephones now covers the region, and one at his 'desert ranch -on the Upper Deschutes may find his order for grand-opera seats in Port' land interrupted by the sharp note of the coyote, yelped into his other ear from the neighboring sagebrush. "More than 300 families have settled upon 'Carey act segregations in the Des chutes Valley, so,uth of Crooked River, within the past four years, building homes and clearing and watering the land and raising crops. Irrigation has been brought to upward of oO.OOO acres of these 'deserf lands within that time. This work of reclamation and settlement is going steadily forward, more than 250, 000 acres having been segregated from the open Government domain for such treat ment. There are, of course, numerous private entries under the desert land law. and all the river lands and some others were taken as homesteads or under the old pre-emption law. 'A strictly homestead country is usual ly poor; that is, those who take home steads are not, as a rule, well provided with money. Those who pay $2.50 an acre for timber or- $4.25 an acre under the desert land law, or $10 to $40 an acre under the 'Carey act,' are not impecu nious. Such people have the means measureably to help themselves, and they are not content to stagnate. The very fact that they have accumulated some thing elsewhere goes far to establish their character for intelligent enterprise, as well as industry, sobriety and frugality. They bring to the country the results of successful life elsewhere money, experi ence. energy. Ideals they do not come as helpless and dejected dependents. This I believe,, accounts for the exceptionally high grade and fine quality of the civi lisation that is taking firm root in Cen tral Oregon.

Penetrate to Interior. 'There is now a heavy movement of settlers even further into the interior of Oregon out in the region of Summer Lake, Christmas Lake and Fort Rock. A new postoffice, Fremont, has just been established In the locality last named. The stages go loaded with land-seekers. some parties drive in with their own out fits and supplies, some go afoot and I saw one barefooted man trudging over the long road to a homestead on that re mote plain. This movement to occupy and develop Central Oregon beats any thing of the kind ever seen before In this state. , 'Of course, there should be a railroad into the Upper Deschutes Valley. The character of the settlement there makes it as certain as anything in human af fairs is that there will be a large volume of traffic to move very soon. Develop ment there is rapid not slow and painful. as in many pioneer regions occupied by people of scanty means and small ca pacity for affairs. In many places where nothing but sagebrush and Junipers marked the plain four or five years ago ranches embracing areas of hundreds even thousands of acres, are now in thrifty cultivation. The development or dinarily wrought in a generation has been accomplished there in half a decade. And yet the railroad interests that should open the vast empire of Central Oregon seem to be maneuvering for tactical ad vantage over competitors, to prevent oth ers from entering rather than themselves to enter. 'T think an important factor relative to the Corvallis & Eastern is overlooked when we fail to consider that from the east the Cascade Range offers no barrier. it does where the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern cross. There is no descent as in Eastern Washington to cross the Columbia. The Eastern Oregon plain is elevated and there is no grade to speak of to reacn tne summit oi me range. The western descent is no more precipitous than on the lines to the north. Therefore the matter of crossing the Cascades in Oregon presents only half the difficulty of crossing the same range In the State of Washington; and the Wash ington roads cling to their mountain di visions, even after the water grade has been found." FRUIT CROP WILL BE LARGE Grants Pass Has Added 800 Acres to Orchard Area This Year. GRANTS PASS, Or., May 9. (Special.) The outlook for a good crop of fruit in Rogue River Valley is very promising. Apple and pear crops will be large. Fruitgrowers have been active this sea son, planting new orchards, and it Is roughly estimated that 115,000 fruit trees have been distributed and planted within the vicinity of this city. This does not include 350,000 grape vines, which will make 800 acres more orchard land brought into cultivation and 600 acres of vineyard. As Tokay grapes produce $260 to $500 an acre at maturity, it is easy to see what 600 acres in full bearing means to a com munity. Outside of the usual fruit crop, this part of the valley produces many melons and Indications are that the acreage will be increased this year.
