MEXT IS ESSENTIAL.
Speaker at St. Mark Church De
r la res Literal Interpretation of
Word 'ot Beet.
"To be forever watching for the bar
gain counters and hurrying after things
that are cheap la to become responsible
la a measure for cheap work, chesp
wages, cheap morality, cheap disease
and death." said the RL Rev. Charles
F.-ad.lIng In his sermon at St. Mark's
Episcopal Church yesterday. Bishop
Ecaddlng occupied the pulpit on account
of the Ilnees of the rector. Rev. J. E. 1L
Olmneon. "The Quality of Charity." waa
bis subject. His t-x I waa. "Though I
bestow all my gooda to feed tha poor,
and have not charity. It proftteth me
nothing."
The bishop began his remarks by telf
tng of a man who met . him at the
church door and asked for money. When
the bishop suggested that be go Into the
baaament and split some wood for a
aae, he declined to work on Sunday.
"It may aeem to you to hare been
hard-hearted and some of you may be
mentally condemning my action, but I
conscientiously bellete. after soma ex
perience and a fairly wide study of the
subject, that the man who literally fol
lows the command of the master. Olva
to every one that ssketa thee, while
with the beet Intention he means obedi
ence to the teaching of Christ, yet may
be absolutely disloyal to the true Inten
tion of that very command.
"Although from day to day Jesoa met
all forms of suffering and street-begging,
there Is no record of his giving
alms. The burden of hta teaching seems
to be that It I possible to manifest tha
scope and beauty of Christian charity
without going beyond one'a daily busi
ness or one's commercial opportunity."
The bishop then dealt with such
questions as whether there ought to be
any poor, and whether tha whole work
of charity ta not an Insult to those who
claim "not a dole from the rich man's
bounty, but a right to the rich man'a
possessions." He told of a visit he paid
to a colony of alngle-taxera.

No Guarantee of Snecesw.
PARIS. Feb. Jg. For more
twenty yaara the Idea of making the
river Seine navigable for sea-going
ehlps aa far as Paris has bean before
the public, and now once more a de
tailed proposal has been submitted to
the Chamber of Deputlea as a matter of
"public utility." On this occssion the
scheme haa the support of 327 Deputies,
but even this strong backing la no
guarantee of success for In 1S.J a soms
what almllar proposal was supported by
nesrly 100 legislators, and yet came to
nothing. '
The chief mover In the present In
stance. M. Lobouoq. while pointing out
the many advantage to be derived from
the execution of his plan, la rareful to
remind the public that enthusiastic ap
proval In the past baa frequently grown
cold whan It comes to the point of flnd-
ine; the necessary capital. This, how
ever, does not deter -him from urging
with considerable force the probable ef
fects of the execution of the scheme
from an International standpoint.
Ha remarks, for example, that France
sends to London for re-export to all
parte of the world some Ki.OOO.OwO of
goods every yesr. and that a very large
proportion of thla traffic would go di
rect from Parle if big ships could un
load and load In the -port of Paris,"
Moreover, since Paris la the focus of an
Important system of railways and
canals. It would divert mtirh transcon
tinental traffic, which at present passes
through Antwerp by means of tba Sim
plon tunnel route to Swltserland and
Italy.
Puhllo opinion Is now more favorable
to the scheme than in "est. but
Frenchmen recall the almost Intermin
able strargle wsged for and against the
grest "cansl da mldl" whim was to pro
vide a new outlet from the Mediter
ranean to the Atlantic, and which, des
pite the spilling of oceans of Ink by

If Decision Is Unfavorable, Question
Will Be Carried Into Poll t lea.
People' Right) to Be
Considered.
Bridge draws will be kept closed ac
cording to ru'.ee established by tha
County Court, regardless of tha deter
mination of the United States District
Attorney to prosecute members of the
court. Judge Cleeton ssld yesterdsy
that If the county loat Its fight for
cloaed draws when tha esse waa de
cided In court, he would uss his Influ
ence to present ths subject properly
bsfore Congress and have the laws
modified In such a manner as to let
bridge authorities use their Judgment
regarding which was the more Import
ant, the people crossing the bridge In a
rush, or some vessel demanding open
Ins: of the draws.
"The County Commissioners and I
have talked the subject over and agreed
that we would not change our rules
for closing the bridge draws," said
Judge Cleeton yesterday, "until It has
been decided by the courts that we have
no right to keep them closed at proper
Intervals.
"It we ere arrested for closing the
draws. It will bring the matter to a
definite settlement, and we win then
know what the law Intends. I believe
that there ehould be some Justice In
closing and opening draws, and that
the people who cross draws have somo
rights, as well as those who nave vea
aela on the river.
"When thla subject first came up, 1
considered It carefully, and determined
that I would not back down from my.
position regarding tha closing of bridge
draws at times for the benefit of the
neocle who must use the bridges. If
we lose the rase In the courts. It will
be my ambition to aid In making; tha
matter a political Issue, and personally
I shall never support a man for ton
greas who Is not pledged to work for a
new law regulating tha closing of
bridge draws. As the city grows and
the traffic across the river Increases.
this will become more and more im
portent, and It should be adjusted a
soon aa possible." a
United States District Attorney Mr
Court haa announced that he will begin
criminal prosecutions of the members
of the County Court as a result of the
orders given by the court to bridge
tenders to keep the draws cloaed at
certain Intervals. When these proceed
ings will be begun, Mr. McCourt has
not announced.

WORK FOU DIRECT ELECTION'S
IS PERFUNCTORY.
Senate Bell Saves Oregon Member
From Being Absent at Rollcall,
as Itc Is Other Times.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb.- 28. Senator Bourne, of
Oregron. professes to be a grreat be
liever in popular election of Senators,
and he recently read an essay In the
Senate In support of popular govern
ment, but he has given absolutely no
real assistance to Senator Borah, of
Idaho, In his flrht for the passage of
a resolution submitting; this proposi
tion to the State Legislatures for rati
flcatlon.
It is true that on all occasions but
one Senator Bourne has managed to
get his vote on record, but further than
this he has done nothing. When the
popular elections resolution has been
before the Senate. Mr. Bourne has been
conspicuous by his absence. Nobody
knows where he goes or what he does,
but he certainly does not remain at
his -desk and take part In the fight.
He ia usually among; the last Senators
to vote, though his name Is at the top
of the list. He never answers when
his name is first called, but manages
to creep into the Senate Just before
the vote Is announced and asks the
secretary to call his name, so that he
can be recorded. Then he disappears
until the bells again ring; all over the
Senate end of tho Capitol, announcing
that another roll call has been ordered.
But for these bells. Senator Bourne
would not be recorded on one-half the
roll calls In the Senate, for he does
not remain in his seat, does not follow
th' proceedings of the Senate, does
noTjtnow what Is going; on, nor does
he contribute anything to the functions
of the Senate, except by recording; his
belated vote.
It Is true that Senator Bourne did
read an essay on popular government,
but that waa of no material assistance
to the Borah resolution, for nobody
listened to it but Senator Chamberlain
and Senator La Follette. When the
Oregon Senator arose to address the
Senate, there waa a general exodus
to the lunch room and Mr. Bourne read
his remarks to almost empty galleries,
and to a still emptier chamber. His
colleagues stayed out of politeness, and
Senator. La Follette because he ts first
lieutenant in the "Salvation Army."
and courtesy required that he sljow
this amount of respect to his chief.

Hero Worshipers In Italy Astonished

ROME. Feb. 26. (Special.) Hero wor

recipient of verbal bouquets of admira

This extraordinary brigand, who has
now served five years of his life sentence
for murder, has st least a dozen assas

remarkable obliquity of mental vision, he
Is proud of his exploits and has hyno

the country into taking pride In his na

For Salomone, although barely literate.
possesses an amusing vigor of intellect
and mental versatility. People who were
present at this bandifs trial still talk
of the speech he made In his own de

eloquence and beauty of expression. Salo

Salomone la passing his time In prison
In various Intellectual pursuits. He has
recently turned his attention to the field
of theology and is now cios.-Iy examining
the question of the authenticity of the
Gospels. This strings murderer is full
of religious enthusiasm and deeirea hla
liberty, not for more stiletto exercise, but
in order to found a new religion.
As a relief from critical examinations
of the New Testament, 8alomone writes
verses, which, though defective In gram
mar and limping In metre, are wonderful,
his best piece being an autobiographical
poem. But even this tfoes not exhaust
his vigor of Intellect, for he has become
a draughtsman and caricaturist of no
mean ability.
Salomone, as a type of the modern crim
inal. Is a standing wonder to criminolo
gists and mental specialists. No doubt
there will be considerable competition for
his brain, when it is available In due
course, for anatomical study.
