Rev. J Allen Leas holds a view con

Kllot. After quoting II Tim. Iil:l. All

bound In pigskin and held together
by heavy braaa clasps, had been handed
down tn that particular form to Moses.
The modern critical and destructive
view la that the Bible, for the moat
part. Is the product of uninspired pens.
They even manage to read between the
lines and find the evidences of abso
lutely unknown and fictitious writers.
The third view is the rational tradi
tional view which recognizes the Bible
as Ood s word given to u through the
vehicle of human speech.
-We know the history of the old
documents, which date back wtthin a
few centuries of the autograph copiea.

of the canon and we know the story

purpose In view.
"Second, the Bible portraya human
character In a way that Is true to life.
Our heroes and heroines are 'Just too
good to live."
The sacred narrator tells us that
Pavld was indirectly a murderer, Solo
mon waa a bigamist. Abraham waa a
common liar. Moses had an ungovern
able temper. James and John were nar
row and bigoted.
The whole Impresses one with an
idea of truthfulness. -
Third, the Bible is fundamental in
Its ideas of morality. The Decalogue
anticipated every condition to which
sin may subject the human soul. Love
to God and love to man. the Saviours
summary of the Ten Commandments
are at the foundation of all worthy so

Fourth, the Bible recogntxes the
longing of the human soul. The soul
la a wanderer. It Is dissatisfied and
seeks strange theories and unsound
philosophies In the vain hope of find

points out the way of return and sooth

PARTIES IRKING
TO GET OUT VOTE
Democrats Divided Because
State Committee Works
Only to Elect West.
BREACH NOT BEING HEALED
County Committee Made to Shift for
Selves to Farther Interests of
Candidates Harmony Ap
. parent Among Republicans.
With the general election only three
weeks ago. Republicans and Demo
crats In Multnomah County thla week
will effect an active working organiza
tion of their forcea in preparation for
the combat on-November 8. The can
didates for Governor on the opposing
tickets, already have visited part of
the state. They will continue their
respective Itineraries In the outside
counties for another fortnight, devot
ing the concluding week of the cam
paign to Portland and Multnomah.
Among the details that will be ar
ranged locally thla week will be those
for getting out a "full vofe and com
pleting an extensive programme of
speech making.
W. R. Apperson, secretary of the
Multnomah County Republican Central
Committee, baa called a meeting of the
precinct committeemen of the First.
Second, Third and Fourth wards, being
precincts 1 to 35 Inclusive, at Republi
can headquarters In the Cornelius Ho
tel tonight at I o'clock. The purpose
of this meeting Is to perfect a work
ing organization for the success of the
entire ticket from Governor to Con
stable. An auxiliary volunteer working
force In each precinct will also be
formed to Insure the fullest possible
vote on election day. During the week
similar meetings of the committeemen
In the other wards and the country
precincts will be held.
Democrats Have Dissensions.
It Is the purpose of the Democrats
at a meeting tonight to organize what
will be known aa a Jackson Club. Pri
marily, this organization Is designed to
effect a reconciliation of the members
of the Democratic state and county
central committees. The point of dif
ference between these two organiza
tions is the persistent attitude of the
state committee In conducting a one
man campaign In the Interest of West
for Governor to the exclusion of all
consideration for any of the candidates
on the county ticket.
This position, from which the state
committee will not recede, has stirred
up much turmoil among the county
committeemen who, while they have
not exactly rebelled, are not showing
the enthusiasm for West that the one
man campaign promoters would like
to see.
As a result of the condition, and Sat
urday night's meeting of the county
committee did not serve to heal the sore
spots, there is relatively more dissen
sion among the Democrats In this coun
ty and many other sections of the
state that there "Is among the Republl
cana. Now that the primaries have
passed Into history, there Is a general
disposition on the part of the Republi
cans to get together and support the
entire ticket as nominated In the pri
mary nominating election.
Breach Growing Wider.
On the other hand events succeeding
the primaries have served only further
to estrange the factions within the
Democracy. There always has1 been
more or less strife In this county
among the Democrats between the
state and county organizations. That
feeling has been seriously aggravated
by the determination of the state or
ganization to center its efforts In be
half of West and let the county com
mittee rustle for Itself and Its candi
dates. County Chairman Thomas has ar
ranged to open the campaign In thla
county on the part of the Democrats
with a meeting In Woodmen Hall, St.
Johns. Wednesday night. Bert E. Haney
will be the principal speaker.- Members
of the Democratic legislative ticket
have been Invited to attend and make
addresses. It Is the Intention of Chair
man Thomaa, later In tha week, to
hold similar meetings at Lents and
Sunnyslde.
JCDGE LOWELL IX CAMPAIGN
Pendleton Spellbinder Offers Serv
ices to State Chairman.
Before the campaign Is over, peo
ple in different sections of the Wil
lamette Valley will be given an op
portunity to hear Stephen A. Lowell,
of Pendleton. State Chairman Notting
ham yeaterday received the following
letter from Judge Lowell:
"1 have promised Governor Bower
man that I will render yoo such as
sistance aa possible In the forthcom
ing campaign, and I wish 'you would
be kind enough to have your secretary
In charge of the speaking campaign
communicate with me. advising what
the present plans may be that I may
endeavor to adjust my private affairs
so that 1 can give a week or ten days
to the work."
Just aa soon as Secretary Mason can
ascertain definitely the time Judge
Lowell can give to the committee, ap
pointments will be made for the East
ern Oregon man at a number of West
ern Oregon- points. The state commit
tee has received requests from a num
ber of the principal towns In the Wil
lamette Valley asking that Judge
Lowell be named to address them.
REPUBLICAN RALLY IX POLK
Enthusiasm Indicates Success for
Entire Ticket.
What proved the biggest political
rally ever held In Polk County was
conducted by the Republicans at Falls
City Saturday night. Walter L. Tooze

was addressed by Colonel E. Hofer.
T. B. Kay, Mayor George F. Rodgers
and C. N. McArthur, of Salem: C. t
Hawley. of McCoy; I. C. Powell, of
Monmouth, and K- N. Smith, of Dallas.
The enthusiasm displayed indicates a
united Republican pHrty and presages
the election of the ticket.
Sentiment for Bowerman in Polk
County Is exceptionally strong and he
will receive more than the normal
party majority. It is predicted the
Republican nominee will carry Falls
City precinct by a vote of not less
than four to one.

"STBAD" PROVES FAKE
PORTLAND MAIDEN HOPEFUL,
THEX DISHEARTEXED.
Twenty Years Ago Mother Purchased
for $20 Violin, Found by Girl
VtTio Saw Riches In Mind. .
Residing somewhere in South Port
land is a maiden, modestly refusing to
give either her name or address, who
thought for one delicious Interval yes
terday or rather hoped that she did
own a real, dyed-ln-the-wool Stradl-
varlus violin valued at least (say)
$10,000. To be exact, the said violin
is T5bw worth 2.60. That's why the
owner wishes to hide her identity.
For present purposes she may be
called Miss Smith, and thus seek refuge
In numbers. About 20 years ago Mrs,
Smith, mother of the aforesaid Miss
Smith, bought from a Professor Bock
the professor of a conservatory ot
music that didn t make money a vionn
for $15, .and the professor said Tie
violin was a good one. The professor
now fades from the story.
Mrs. Smith carefully placed the $15
violin In her attic, against the time
when some one in her family might
wish to become a violinist. The other
day Miss Smith, who is about 17 years
old. was cleaning up the attic in her
home and came across the Bock violin
covered with venerable dust. With
much curiosity she. examined the in
strument, shook off the dust, and was
astonlched on peering into the interior
of the violin to read these words, print
ed on the wood. In German text: "An
tonlus Stradlvarius Cremonesis, Facll
but Anno. 17," with the figures "Sl
edded in Ink.
"A Cremona violin!" gasped Miss
Smith, and her family and she had
an excited conference. Visions of at
least $10,000 floated before them, and
they determined upon expert advice.
Daniel H. Wilson, the organist and
choirmaster of St. Mary's Catholio
Church, of Alblna. was consulted, but
he Is more Interested in pipe organs
and pianos than violins, and he took
the prized violin to Charles M. Stow,
who took It from Its brand-new case,
screwed up the remaining two violin
strings and began to play. Mr. Stow
shook his head dubiously. "I don't
know about this violin," he said. "Vou
people had better take it to a violin
expert."
A visit was next paid to Ernest O.
Spltzner, and when the project was
explained to him. Mr. Spltzner' s eyes
glistened with pleasure. "We will soon
see," he said. "Let me see the violin."
One glance at the violin sufficed.
"That Is a fair imitation of a good
Strad," remarked Mr. Spltzner, pleas
antly. "It's worth about $2.50, cash.
It Is factory work. I know one town
In Saxony, Germany, where about 500,
000 similar violins are turned out every
year. I also know of one factory de
voted exclusively to the manufacture
of 'fake' violin labels."
Somebody in South Portland gave a
sigh just then.
ROBBERIES 1ST CEASE
LODGING-HOUSE PROPRIETORS
MUST PROVIDE OFFICER.
Chler Cox Decides That Patrons of
North End Hotels Shall
Be Protected.
Frequency of reported robberies from
the Eagle house and other lodging-houses
in the vicinity of Third and Burnside
streets forced Chief of Police Cox to ls
sua yesterday an ultimatum to George
Simpson, proprietor of the Eagle house,
that he and the other landlords of the
vicinity must provide at their own ex
pense a special officer, selected by the
Chief, to prevent the thefts.
The Chief realized that the order is
without his power, but It is backed by
the alternative that he will, In default
of Its being complied with, place an of
ficer et the entrance of the lodging
houses to warn all gtistt that their val
uables are not safe If they lodge In any
of the bouses.
Four lodging-houses, on the four cor
ners of Third and Burnside streets, are
affected by the order.- From each of
them have come many complaints of men
being robbed while they slept. The most
recent case was one In which Simpson
himself was accused of the theft, but he
waa discharged, by the court. It was
proved, however, at the trial, that some
one entered .one of the rooms of the
Eagle hoiise and stole $.13 from Herman
Hill, a lodsfr, while h? rte.pt. Hill de
clared that ha awoke to find Simpson In
the room and Mrs. Simpson standing at
the door. Simpson ahowed that he had
gone to the room to order the light ex
tinguished. 6impaon agreed to lay the matter be
fore the landlords, and intimated that
the order would be complied with.

.Notice the proximity of the SWASTIKA
to Wardner and Wallace. Wardner and
Wallace are on the south slope of the
Coeur d'AIeaes, and the Swastika on the
north slope. In an alr-llne It la 24 miles
from Wardner to The Swastika mine.
The other day, by mistake, The Oregonian
made us say that the property is located 29 miles
east of Spokane. It should have read 69 miles,
and in the heart of one of the greatest mineral
districts in North America, lien who have de
voted their lives to mining are emphatic in the
declaration that there is not another district
in the world the equal of the Coeur d'Alenes as
a producer of the precious metals. Our mine is
located on the VERT SIDE OP THE COEUR
D'ALENE MOUNTAINS, and, as shown on the
map, is in the thick of a perfect hive of exceed
ingly rich properties. Ten of -these Idaho
bonanzas have paid their stockholders the pro
digious sum of TWENTY-NINE MILLION
NINE HUNDRED AND NINE THOUSAND
NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS
in dividends, the last few years, according to
the Mining World, and are still pouring their
wealth out into the fat purses of their fortunate
owners.
The Swastika Will Make the Eleventh
of This Great Group
When our machinery is installed and our mill
in operation another productive star will be
added to the crown of Idaho, and the gold and
the silver and the lead now hidden in its rocky
fastnesses will be brought forth to delight and
comfort those wise enough now to become mem
bers of the company bound to richly profit by
the treasure we are already prepared to mine.
We Never Advertised a Share of Stock for
Sale Until We Had Made This a Mine
When we secured the property, 63 weeks ago, it was
but little developed. Tru. It waa In the heart' of a mini
Ing district, rich aa the richest of the earth, and every
experienced man of mining who had ever examined It
and passed judgment upon the property expressed tBe
opinion that "some day The Swastika will have a name
Important as any yet known In the Rocky Mountains.
It will add new luster to the Coeur d'Alenes. It will
distribute wealth with a lavish hand. It is going to
make fortunes for some one or some people. It is for
those who develop it. There is no mistake tn that. Any
one with eyes and a knowledge of ores can readily
understand why." These expressions on every hand
convinced the president of this company, and he made
the deal that transferred its ownership. But he would
not advertise his shares for sale until he had proven the
asseverations of those with whom he had dealt and with
whom he had conversed. Miners were put to. work and
rapid development prosecuted, and now we have 868 teet
of tunnel work completed, an 80-foot drift and a 6-foot

of ore. When we aay 200 per cent we are CONFIDENT
we are shooting 'way below the mark. A mining man
of Tacoma, now in Portland, heard of the Swastika and
visited the property. He took a full sack of its ore to
the Tacoma smelter and had it tested there. The stufr
was selected so that It would fairly represent the
WHOLE mine, nearly as he could Judge, and we have
the smelter certificate showing its value to be $.8.43 to
the ton. If It be a fact that the mine will average that
high, and this man is confident it will, there can be ne
doubt that the returns will be all of 250 per cent profit
on our stock. The mining man referred to, whose name
may be learned at this office, thought so well of the
property that he has since bought 10.000 Bhares of Swas
tika stock. In our present equipment we have 5 mules
and their harness, a saddle horse and saddle, houses for
our men, stables for our stock, blacksmith s outfit, drills,
picks, shovels, axes, saws, wheelbarrows, air pipes oper
ated by water power, car track and ore cars, etc., as
required for mining purposes, all paid for, and

Stock In this company covers all these properties.
Now that we have the corporation in this condition
and the claims developed to the point where only ma
chinery is needed to make the Swastika immensely
profitable, we are inviting the reader of these words to
take our stock at 10 cents per share, cast his lot with us
and share with us the prosperity we are confident must
come to all. We believe it an extremely conservative
estimate to predict that $150 invested in Swastika
shares, at PRESENT prices, would pay the stockholder
$1 every working day of the year, once we have our
mill tn running order. That same $lo0 would pay him
$6 per TEAR. if. deposited in a bank. Many a man Uvea
comfortably on $1 per day.
Our Shares Are Non-Assessable
And there is no forfeiture of any monies paid
us for stock. For example, if the reader should
subscribe for. say, 5000 shares, payable on in
stallments (or for any other number), and it
-i,,.ii inniwn that, he could not complete pay-
ments as originally agreed, stock will be issued
for all installments this company has received.
Indeed, we would scorn to make heavier the
burdens of that person overtaken by adversity
and unable to carry his contract to completion.
No honest, fair-minded man would harbor such
a thought.
This is a big, rich mining proposition, and as square a deal as was ever known
SHARES lO CENTS EACH
We sell on installments of one-quarter down and one-quarter per month, because these payments
will meet our obligations and result in the same as cash to us.
