PORTLAND SCORED
AS SINFUL CITY
Dr. Matthews Says Social
Evil Flourishes Though Red
Light Zone Is Closed.
OUR STREETS RIDICULED
Clergyman Declares They Are
- "Dirty, Gouged-Out, Every Hole
Represent Graft" Bad Citi
zenship Nation's Menace-
That the oclal evil is flourishing: in
Portland, In apke of th closing of the
red-lifrht district, and that the police do
not enforce the law "because the grafter
and the boodler want another restricted
di$trict, where money may be coined with
which to corrupt pontics, were state
ments made by Dr. Mark A. Matthews in
a talk to men at the First Presbyterian
Church yesterday cLfternoon. The meeting
was held under Y. M. C. A. auspices and
the church was filled.
The speaker also referred to Portland's-
thoroughfares as "little, dirty, gouged-
out streets." "Every hole," he said
"represents malfeasance in office by
chronic graft on the part of your damn
able boodle-loving politicians.
, "I never aaw streets In uch disgrace
ful condition as those here in your town,"
he declared. "Here you are paying 18
and 20 mills tax on the dollar and haven t
a dozen streets over which a man can
ride without being bumped out of his ma
chine."
The speaker said Christian men were
possessed of civic indifference, that while
boodlers and grafters were scheming 365
days in the year how to secure control of
politics, honest men were too much m
terested in making money to think or
politics. His subject was "The Auto
matic Detective," and his text "Be sure
your sin will find you out." He said in
part:
Sin is the automatic detective. The day
is oast wheu men can ne secret in tneir sin
ning. The day of ahsolute publicity has
come. The xrers is the earety-vaive or so
ciety, the safeguard of Government, the
strong policeman over the moral conscience
of every man.
N action's l'llght Serious.
The greatest problem America, has ever
faced she la facing today, the problem of
governing her cities. She is in a very nan
gerouf condition, because she has forgotten
that the balance of power is in those cities.
Alan, if you don't get a grip on me munie.-
pay government you may be sure your sin
will find you out when your government.!
delivered Into the hands of corrupt forces.
As I have aald before. I have no great
fear of a foreign foe, but I am frank to say
that I am dreadfully afraid of the bad citi
zenship of the good citizen. The crime of
crimes, which is today threatening America
Is this same bad citizenship. The bad cltl
ien works at the business of manipulating
political forces so that he may secure their
control. The good citizen works at the busi
ness of making money, and never turns his
rttentlon to the manner in which civic af
fairs are being conducted until two or three
days before election, t am talking to you,
the pious, innocent, handsome business men
of this city. Tou are too busy making
money. Do you know what protects t hat
money you have In the bank ? Its safety
does not consist in the strong steel vault
and fixtures, but in the patriotism of geod
cltlsena. Tour bank, deposits are absolutely
st the mercy of the bad citizenship of good
citlaens.
the battle that Is on In Seattle is no dif
ferent from the one you have here. It la
the same in San Francisco and Lob An
geles, and all the way up the const to Val
des, Alaska. Forces are in secret compact
to deliver this community Into the hands of
the saloon interests.
It Is true that your officers have broken
up the restricted district, but they have
not tried to keep the same condition out of
your residence districts. Why? Because
they want to establish a new restricted dis
trict. Why don't they enforce the law and
drive the fallen women out of the city? Be
cause the grafter and boodler want another
district where the money may be coined
which corrupts the politics of this Northwest
country.
Worthy Police Wanted.
It is not difficult to enforce law. AH
you need to enforce law la a conscientious,
vigorous prosecuting attorney and an effi
cient police force- No military organiza
tion can do as much as the police force in
the detection of sin.
Vou seem to he Indifferent to civic affairs
because you don't use good sense. Organi
zation on . the part of corrupt forces must
he met by organisation on the part of
righteous forces.
What's the matter with San Francisco ?
She has repudiated every reform movement
made there in the last 10 years. I'll tell
you what's the trouble. She is in the hands
of two of the most corrupt forces that over
t hreatened the municipal life of any city
in this country, and yuur cities are coming
under the same influence. If you conse
crated Christian men don't wake up these
powers will have Portland. Los Angeles.
Seattle and all the Coast cities in their
grasp as they have San Francisco.
I aald in my sermon this morning that
domestic conditions in Portland and In
this country are not what they- should be.
1 said that It Is impossible to correct by
legislation wrongs committed In the do
mestic circle. You know that the domestic
life of this country isn't clean. Part of
the domestic life of this audience is not
clean. There Is as much licentiousness with
in the marriage vow of this country as
there Is out of it. That's true. Unless
your city is an exception you have doctors
who have grown rich committing murder.
It was your dutv as citizens when you knew
of that condition to put detectives on their
track and to bang them by the neck until
they were dead and damned. There should
be no mercy for doctors who will stoop to
vuch practice.
Children Are Safeguard.
Whenever you have a home, and there
falls to come Into that home children, you
have robbed your wife of the greatest safe
guard she can have.
Any doctor who says it Is impossible to
live the white life Is an infernal liar. Tell
him I said so. and 1 will meet him any
where he wants to meet me. A single
standard of morals in this country is what
we want. Women are to some extent to
blame for the double standard. It la be
rause they will tolerate a man with one
standard, but will not tolerate a woman
with the same standard.
The orchestra opened the service yes
terday afternoon with a two-step. Air.
Ladd. who presided, then turned the
music over to Dr. J. V. McMichael,
who called for the "Glory Song." Two
sacred selections were rendered by a
male quartet composed of C. E. Mc
Culloch, Dr. McMichael, J. A. Hollings
worth and M. L. Bowman.

REV. M. A.
ELDER'S JAR SLIGHT
Ramming Got From Homer
Does Little Damage.
OFF DRYDOCK IN 3 DAYS
Arrives in Karly Morning, Cargo Is
Discharged in Rush and Work on
Repairs Soon Under Way.
Plates Sprung, Frames Bent.
Injurips sustained by the steamer Geo.
W. Klder, which was rammed a week
ago today in the " San Pedro harbor by
the steamer Homer, proved not to be
serious when the vessel was placed on
the Oregon Dry Dock yesterday after
noon. Three of her plates were found
to -be sprung and some frames bent, but
it Is believed she will be in readiness
to return to her route uatween this city
and San Francisco in about three days.
The Elder was tied up at the dock at
San Pedro when the Homer struck her.
The accident waa explained as the re
sult of a misunderstanding of signals.
It was feared at first that the Elder
was put out of commission, but as she
did not spring a leak, it was decided
to return to Portland with her for re
pairs. The Elder arrived up the river early
yesterday morning, at S:15 o'clock, and
the work of discharging her cargo that
she might be placed on the drydock was
hurried as much as possible. Late yes
terday afternoon the vessel was shifted
from the foot of Seventeenth street to
the Oregon drydock, where men will be
at work on her night and day until she
Is repaired.
Among all the vessels that take part
In the Pacific coastwise trade. It Is be
lieved there is none other which is so
well known as the old Elder, which has
been on this Coast for more than 30
years. It is also generally accepted as
a fact that no other vessel In the Coast
trade has been in so many accidents.
One of the more serious mishaps of
the Elder was when she was sunk In the
Columbia River several years ago, and
for nearly a year and a half waa left
lying there, as It was believed Impossible
ever to put her In commission again.
During the years that the Elder has
been commanded by Captain Jessen,
which was since she . came Into the
hands of the North Pacific Steamship
Company, the vessel has been doing good
work, and It seemed that the spirit of
111 luck had left her.
Captain Jessen left the Elder just pre
vious to her departure for the South on
her last trip, when she was rammed,
and intended to be ore from service for
a few months. She is now commanded
by Captain Hannah.
RIVER RISKS, MASCOT RESUMES
Water in Lewis Deep Enough Now
to Permit Regular Schedule.
Higher water on the Lewis River per
mitted the eteamer Mascot, of the Lewis
River Transportation Company, to re
sume her regular trips to La Center Sat
urday, and it is believed by the manage
ment of the company that the vessel will
be enabled to continue on her regular
schedule to that pla.ee until the cold
weather of next Winter lowers the water
in the river.
During the Winter season the Lewis
River is lower than at any other time.
and since the snow began to fall to any
extent at the headwaters, the stage has
been too low to permit the Mascot to
reach La Center. The vessel went as far
as the Lewis River Forks, and where the
La Center freight was transferred onto
launches. When the Mascot left on her
first through trip for the season Satur
day she carried an unusually large load.
KERN' SOOX READY FOR WORK
Repairs on Rammed Vessel Will Be
Completed at Early Date.
Repairs to the steamer Daniel Kern,
which was rammed by the steamer Geo.
W. Elder during the early Fall on the
Columbia River, will be completed soon,
and will return to her work of towing
rock barges to the Columbia River bar.
The Kern Is owned by the Columbia
Construction Company, and of late has
been off the drydock, although she will
be returned to it as soon as the Elder
Is repaired. .
IiURLIXE SOOX TO LEAVE WAYS
Hull and Machinery of River Craft
Thoroughly Overhauled.
With her hull and machinery thorough
ly overhauled, the river steamer Lurline.
of the Vancouver Transportation Com
MATTHEWS.
pany, will leave the ways of the Portland
Ship-Building Company the latter part
of this week or the beginning of, next,
and will be taken to the Taylor-street
dock for re-equipment and painting. It
will probably be the latter part of March
before the Lurline will be In complete
readiness for resuming her run between
Portland and Astoria.
Since the Lurline went on the ways, the
first of this month, her place on the run
between here and Astoria has been taken
by the steamer Undine, which will be
used as an extra when the Lurline is re
turned to duty.
RAMOXA ENCOUNTERS GALES
Vessel F-inds Columbia Bar Milder
Than Coos Bay Entrance.
Heavy gales both coming and going
were experienced by the steamer Ra
mona. which arrived last night from
her second trip to Coos Bay. As the
Ramona passed out over the bar at
Coos Bay on her return trip a terrific
gale prevailed. Captain H. C. Nelson
says that although the wind was blow
ing hard as the vessel passed In over
the Columbia River bar, the sea was
not bad at that point.'
The Ramona, which Is temporarily
taking the place of the Breakwater,
which Is undergoing an overhauling In
San Francisco, brought from Coos Bay
between 50 and 60 passengers and her
usual cargo of coal and general mer
chandise. Notice to Mariners Issued.
W. G. Milter, inspector of the Twelfth
Lighthouse Iistriet, has issued a notice
to mariners concerning the Noonday Rock
Whistling Buoy, which was reported
adrift on February 21, about 50 miles
south by west of the Pigeon Point Light
station, California, The buoy will be re
placed, it Is stated, as soon as prac
ticable. Short of Crew, British Boat Delayed.
Preparatory to her sailing for London
direct, the British ship Kelburn was
towed from Inman-Poulsen's yesterday to
the stream below the bridges. The. Kel
burn will be detained until Wednesday, on
account of being short of members of her
crew. She te loaded with 2,230,000 feet of
Oregon lumber.

A MIRACLE
IN DETROIT
Ws have the following note from our
Detroit agent:
"I have a-case of Bright's here that
Is undoubtedly one of the most won
derful and quickest responses to the
Renal Compound that I have ever seen.
Two weeks ago two Detroit physicians
told young Truesdell (twenty-one years
old) and other members of the family
that he was beyond hope and would
have to die, and that the only help
would be to take him to the hospital
the next morning and tap him.
"Mrs. D. O. Johnstone, of 109 Jones
street, lives within a block of the Trues
dell home. She was In bed with dropsy
and death was looked for at any mo
ment when she was put on the Renal
Compound and made a recovery. Hear
ing of the Truesdell case, she stepped
in. At this moment no mortal could
have stood more swelling without
bursting and the patient had a most
distressing twitching of the head at
every heart throb. As these people are
very poor, I bought and- chargad to ex
pense account the heart prescription .to
aid the Renal Compound. It all acted
promptly. His abdomen is almost nor
mal, dropsy is declining rapidly and
his heart beats almost as well as the
average.
"I phoned both of the physicians who
naa pronounced tne case hopeless and
they promised to go and see him. Thev
wanted to know what was being used

"I am proud to be Identified with a
concern mat is doing so much Tor suf
fering humanity. I feel it every word
Is from my Innermost heart.".
For physicians' memo let us say that
the following was the prescription used
to hold up the heart and help the Re
nal Compound to more quickly elim

$1050 each, easv terms. 2 lot between
E. 24th and E- 2."th, in addition adjoin
ing colonial Heights on the south and
Ladd Addition on the east, where 40-foot
lots are setting for $100o UP. These lots
command a beautiful view of tha city and
are 25 minutes' walk from town.
WHY CAN I SELL THEM SO CHEAP?
These lots are a portion of a tract of
about 30 acres adjoining Ladd Addition
which has been held for years under leas
as a vegetable garden. .
Last year the work of improvement
was commenced and finished over a por
tion of the tract and a few lots in the
finished portion offered for sale. The
hard Winter stopped the work, but the
contracts are let to finish same immedi
ately. If this property had been platted
years ago, as It should have been at the
time the Ladd Addition was, these lots
would sell today at higher prices than
the Ladd tract, as the property Is higher
and more desirable in every way. The
purchaser of the few lots that I can still
deliver at last year's opening prices will
make $3oo to $6O0 on the buy before the
end of August.
Arrange to see these unusual bargains
at once. I cannot . guarantee to deliver
Indefinitely.
REMEMBER, graded streets, cement side
walks, curbs, water, etc.. etc.. are all In
now and paid for at above price; noth
ing to assume except sewer assessment
of $22.
