Object of Day Explained.
President Kleemann explained the ob
ject of German day In the following
manner:
"German day Is celebrated by nearly
all German societies In the United Statss
In commemoration of the landing of the
first Germans on American soli In Penn
sylvania. October 6. 1683. From this
email beginning. German Immigration has
gruwu to Immense proportions, so that
yearly hundreds of thousands seek homes

t ed cities and hamlets of the old father
land. To the addition of this sturdy race
to our Puritan stock may be attributed
the great progress In literature, art, mu
sic and perfection in handicraft.
"While the American sees his chief
glory In the acquisition of money and its
consequent power, the German takes
pride In doing his work with infinite
pains to have It perfect and always
studying In advance the prevailing de
mands for improvements for the better
ment and added comfort of his fellow
man, leaving the hoarding of riches as
a second consideration. The very first
Bible printed In America came from the
press of Pretorius and his few followers
in Pennsylvania, and most of the great
publishing houses In America are con
ducted by Germans or their descendants.
Owe Much to Gfrmans.
"What we owe to the Germans In art
and music would, fUl many volumes.
From the plain house painter to the
greatest artists of the day they all owo
their artistic tendencies to the German
blood. In music, with exception of the
hand-organ and steam, piano, the Ger
mans seem to have a monopoly in this
country, probably because it takes such
endless work and pains to become a good
musician and the remuneration Is so
small. If one doubts their inborn talent
for singing let him come up to Arlon Hall
tomorrow night and hear the chorus sing
ing of four of our best Oregon artists.
The Germans are a convivial race, who
frown upon drunkenness and excesses,
yet like their glass of beer, which they
have been used to for generations back.
They prefer this mild beverage to strong
er drinks and keep healthy and happy,
while other nationalities undermine their
constitution by strong drinks and be
come an impediment rather than a help
to good citizenship in this country. A
German is not a hypocrite, therefore he
leaves the fanatical prohibition states to
settle where he can be free and law
abiding, and yet have his glass of beer.
Is it any wonder that German farmers
Immigrate by tens of thousands to Can
ada if in some states of the Union it is
mads a crime to Indulge in a glass of
beer, or a social gathering or a hall
game on Sunday? Even in our fair state
such prosecutions have taken place, go
ing as far as shooting a man in his own
home because he was celebrating his own
wife's birthday with too much hilarity.
"As a rule Germans are religious, but
refrain from forcings their views upon
others, and their religion is not of the
kind to make Sunday a day of misery
for themselves and their fellowmen. but
a day of devotion and recreation. The
majority are hard-working mechanics,
who have only Sunday for unbending
from their labors. That Germans are law
abiding and good citizens can be readily
seen by the low per cent of criminals
or petty offenders on the dockets of the
courts with German names. The German
vote, therefore, scattered and unorgan
ized, has become a powerful factor to be
recokoned with. At the convention of
the German-American 'Alliance, held in
Cincinnati last Saturday, it was found
that over J.OOO.OfO German-American votes
were represented by delegates from all
over the Union.
Oregon Has 45,000 Germans.
"Our state was represented by John
Mathlesen. The State of Oregon has at
present a population of about 45.000 Ger
mans, of which 27.000 are In Portland.
About 40 voters are organized in the 28

CHURCH AND STATE TODAY
Clergymen Blamed for Forcing Pro
hibition on Opponents.
PORTLANT. Oct 6. (To the Editor.)
There Is ample evidence that the so
called "uplift" Is In danger of running
upon the rocks of bigotry and Intol
erance. Hysteria is being fed to us
as morality, and there Is organized, if
ill-considered, effort being made Dy
church officials, which means churches,
to upset the good old doctrine of sep
aration of church and state.
The Women's Home Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist Church sounds
the slogan. "Keep Roman Catholic
teachers out of the public schools at
all hazards." This is not merely an
enlode. the foolish utterance of a
woman. It Is the local indication of a
widespread tendency and- purpose
which sooner or later the state must
reckon with. The churches, or most of
the Protestant churches, are In politics.
National, state and municipal. As an
illustration for Portland, note the pub
lished announcement that the local
Ministerial Association has pledged
Itself to support the Prohibition party,
and that leading clergymen from the
Baptist Methodist. Congregational,
Presbyterian and Christian churches of
this city are named as the principal
committee to conduct the "campaign
to make Oregon dry'ln 1910."
We live in a new era. Old Ideals
and tried principles are rapidly being
lost to sight. It is not so long ago
that the surest way to defeat any move
ment was to point out that it inter
fered with personal or religious liberty.
Today we seem perfectly williftTr to al
low our liberties to be disposed of at
the behest of churchmen, regardless of
the inherent rights of the individual.
It is not so long ago that any move
ment looking to the identification of
church and state would have been as
impossible as it is wrong. Today we
find many of the larger Protestant
churches actively In politics, thoroughly
organized, and definitely committed to
a policy of forcing certain theories
into state and National law. Ministers
invade the capitols of states, besiege
legislators and even threaten them
socially and politically if they do not
yield; on tha other hand, to those who
subscribe to their views they pledge
many votes of church members.
Plainly, tha theory of absolute sep
aration of church and stats Is falling
Into disrepute.
From personal and unbiased observa
tion, made during a long residence in
New York City, I Ventura the opinion
that the appalling corruption of Tam
many Hall is perpetuated simply and
solely because its astute leaders rec
ognize this trait in human nature: To
be on the side of liberality and non
interference with 'personal freedom.
It is a great pity that earnest workers
for the world's betterment do not seize
upon this point. Their failure to do
so has almost Invariably resulted In
the defeat of other worthy movements.

Hearing of J. W. Scrlber, Alleged
flunk Embezzler and Defaulter of
Is Grande, to Follow Mc
Court's First Indictments.
Impaneling of the next Federal
grand jury early in November will be a
signal for the revival of the land
fraud prosecutions, which have lain
iiormunt for a, year. The first case to
be submitted to the Jury will be the
Umatilla case, also colloquially known
as the "Raley cases," or the -poca.
tello case." Fifteen defendants are
involved and the indictments were the
first to be drawn by United States At
torney McCourt after his appointment
to the Federal office.
Immediately following this case,
which may consume the greateY part
of November. J. W. Scrlber, the alleged
defaulting and embezzling bank cash
ier of La Grande, will be summoned
for trial on four distinct charges.
Scrlber Is accused of making false en
tries in the La Grande Bank's books.
of rendering: false reports to the Con
troller of Currency, of embezzling
$12,500 and of committing perjury
Scrlber was released under $40,000
bonds awaiting trial.
The Umatilla land-fraud case stands
out as one of the most Important of
the latter-day alleged conspiracies, and
promises to be fought to the last ditch.
Recently the 15 defendants filed a de
murrer to the Indictment, pleading the
fraud. If one had been committed, had
run the statute of limitations. This
objection was overruled last week by
Judge Wolverton, and trial of the case
will be the next step.
The Umatilla indictment accuses 15
men, including stockmen, realty deal
ers and timber merchants, of conspir
ing against the United States to de
fraud the Government out of public
lands formerly within the boundaries
of the Umatilla reservation. The in
dictment alleges that the fraud was
perpetrated by procuring false en
trants, whose interests in the land
concerned were purchased by the al
leged conspirators.
The men indicted In the Umatilla
case are: J. H. Raley. John W. Crow,
William Slusher, William Caldwell,
John Vest, William Raw, Alonio
Knotts, John Wynne, A. P. Bowman,
George Adams, George McDonnell, Sam
Olmstead, Joe H. Parkes, Robert Porter
and Bailey Ross.
J. H- Raley, first mentioned among
the defendants, lives at Pendleton and
is one of Democratic war-horses of the
state, and It is believed the fight of the
defense for acquittal will center about
him.
GOOD LIFE, CELESTIAL'S PLEA
Aleged Briber May Also Assert In
sanity Held for Jury.
Twenty-five years of upright life, cou
pled with periodical insanity, will be the
defense of Hule Sam. the Chinaman who
is accused of an attempt to bribe Chi
nese InsDector Sawyer. The Celestial

Hule Sam conducts an Oriental em
porium on Sixth street, between Oak and
Pine streets, where he has been estab
lished for the last quarter of a century.
His long residence here and hitherto
cleat record will be asserted In his de
fense by Bigger & Wilson, his attorneys.
They also intimated at the hearing yes
terday that Insanity of the Celestial will
find place in their plea.
"The Chinaman was so raw In his at
tempt to bribe Inspector Sawyer," said
United States Attorney McCourt yester
day, "that insanity may stick."
Inspector Sawyer says that Hule Sam
entered his office and. standing by his
desk, mysteriously concealed something
under a handkerchief.
What's that?" asked Sawyer.
"Shh-h " sounded the Celestial be
tween his teeth, drawing the handker
chief away and disclosing five $20 pieces.
Hule Sam then departed. Inspector
Sawyer filed a complaint and the Celes

ANOTHER FENCER FINED
LOUIS GERBER ADMITS GUILT,
IS TAXED $200.
Klamath Stockman, Only One of
Similarly Accused to Surrender,
la Sentenced.
Louis Gerber, the only illegal fencer of
Government land who presented himself
for trial without waiting to be subjected
to arrest, pleaded g-ullty before Judge
Wolverton yesterday and was fined J 200
for maintaining- an unlawful inclosure
near Klamath Falls. The Indictment
against Gerber also accuses him of "Im
peding passage over public domain.
Sentence on thla oount was postponed on
condition that the defendant will remove
the fenee immediately.
"I assure you," said Gerber to the:
Judge, "that I'll get it down just as soon
as possible."
"If I live 1000 years, I'll never forget
you," was the defendant's thanks to
United States Attorney McCourt after
sentence had been imposed.
Gerber. though an extensive property
owner and stock man in Klamath County,
makes Sacramento, CaL, his habitat and
upon reading a newspaper account of
his Indictment, came to Portland post
haste and surrendered to United States
Attorney McCourt
He was accused of illegally fencing
2620 acres near Klamath Falls and of de
clining to abolish the inclosure when
notified by officials of the Interior De
partment. Later, when threatened with
prosecution, ha removed rails here and
there from the inclosure, allowing the
barrier to stand where he would be
benefited. This action hastened the in
dictment against him.
United States Attorney McCourt medi
ated in behalf of Gerber, saying he did
not consider the casei of sufficient grav
ity to warrant imprisonment or a fine
exceeding $300. This accounted for Ger
ber's profuse thanks to McCourt after
the trial. Judge Wolverton was also
thanked vehemently by the stockman.
MONEY WILL BE RETURNED
Subscribers of Fair Stock to Relief
Fund to Get Part Back.
City Treasurer Werleln has on hand
736.65, contributed by several hundred
sympathetic persons shortly after the
earthquake and Are at San Francisco,
for the relief of the stricken people of
that place. The funds never having
been sent to the scene of the disaster,
Mr. Werleln never receiving instructions
to dispatch the money, he conferred with
Mayor Simon yesterday and they agreed
the amount should be returned to the
donors.
The fund Is made up of shares In" the
Lewis and Clark Fair, at ten cents a
share, and runs from ten cents to $100
to the individual subscriber. Inasmuch as
there is no use other than the original
to which it can be put, Mr. Werleln, af
ter consulting with Mayor Simon, de
cided to rpay it to the subscribers,
beginning Wednesday morning, October
20. Those entitled to any portion of the
fund must be personally known to Mr.
Werleln or must satisfactorily identify
themselves before receiving their money.
At the time the money was subscribed,
or shortly afterwards, there arose a sus
picion of a very strong nature that the
relief funds were being misappropriated
in San Francisco, and for this reason the
money about to be repaid to the donors
by Mr. Werleln was never sent.
