"Toer Is no mor deplorable spec

toleration whirh t extended to the

olic Cathedral. "The civil law should

tion for roost of the causes for which
an atiaol'jte divorce Is now granted."
h. continued. The sermon. In part,
follows:
"There Is no doctrine ft the rth
oMc Church more characteristic of her
distinctive spirit and ethics than her
tacr!r.x on the sacredneea of mar
rlaae, and there Is none which bears
more eloquent testimony to her his
torical continuity with primitive Chris
tianity. The history of the church has
been the record of her heroic contest
with the passions of princes snd of
peoples In behalf of the purity and
sanctity of the home.
Wedlock Give Dignity.
"Since the days of the apostWs. the
union between Christ and hla Church
hs been a symbol of the sacrednrss
at marr ace Christ restored wedlock
to the dignity of a lifelong union be
tween one man and one woman, and
elevated It to the rank of a Christian
sacrament- Christian marriage la not
a mere private contract revocable at
will. It a a sacramental pledge be
fore Ocd of marital fidelity while l:f
lasts, for better, for worse: for richer,
for poorer. In alrknesa and In health,
until death do oa part.' That la the
religious vow registered by the con
tract I. is; partlea and the state baa no
more competence to annul the effect
of the sacrament of matrimony than
It haa to cancel the aplrltual conse
luences of the aacrament of baptism.
It may legislate eo nee mine the hold
Ins of property by the husband and
wife, but It has aa little power to
break the Irrevocable contract of
Chrlatian marriage as It haa to break
the bond of attraction that bolds the
plane's In their course,
"The Catholic Church haa never In
her history recognised any grounds
which would authorise divorce In the
nit of permission to contract an
other marriage. The ao-ealled ftcrip
tural ground' for divorce ras regarded
by the early Christians as a reason
for separation, but they most em
phatically denied that the Innocent
party as thereby permitted to re
marry. .
Early Writings Are Clear.
The writings of the early church
are moat explicit In this regard. They
declare In so many words, aa the Cath
ollo Church declarea today, that the
attempted remarriage of a divorce
during the lifetime of th other party
Is adulterous Any laxity of teaching
In this regard most open the flood
site of Immorality Individual, do
mestic and social.
"In enforcing this rigid discipline In
opposition to the demanda of human
passions and In the very teeth of a
degenerate twentieth century pagan
culture, th Catholic Church has no
apologies to offer. Eh Is Imposing no
mere ecclesiastical legislation. With
Ft. Paul aha can say: 'Not I. bat the
Lord commandeth that the wife depart
not from her husband: and that If she
drrart. that ahe remain unmarried.'
'Tii spirit of th world th spirit
cf unr,overned licenseha never taken
kindly to the Idea of self-restraint for
unselfish ends. Hence the rigidity of
the Catholic discipline In regard to
the marriage contract has always pro
voked opposition; and In no regard Is
the Cathollo Church more admirable
than ahe la for the enemies ahe has
made during th nineteen centuries
that ! haa led the vanguard of civ
Uiiatlon In th battle for domestic
siomllty.
Dtedslla Declarea EeseatlaL
".Nineteen hundred years of world
wide experience with the workings of
human nature haa aerved but to In
tensify her conviction that rigid dis
cipline La necessary. The prospect of
absolute divorce la the fruitful sourc
of haaty and ill-assorted marriages.
There 1. no more deplorable spectacle
than the scandalous levity with which
young people enter upon wedlock un
lets It be the more aoandalous tolera
tion which la extended to th habitues
of the divorce courts.
The possibility of divorce en
courages discontent and Incites to th
commission of the very crimes which
furnish legal pretext for annulling the
marriage. It impairs the mutual con
fidence between husband and wife
which Is essential to domestic happi
ness. "Separation- without th prospect of
another marriage la the only moral,
practicable relief from a mis-mated
anion. And the civil law should pro
vide only for a decree of separation
for most of the cauee for which aa
absolute divorce Is now granted. Were
each the case, ther would be less
disruption of family ties.
Reese y Is Pvtatrd Owe.
The fearful growth of th divorce
evil which all serious thinkers view
with iticb alarm. Is only sn Indication
of th utter anarchy In th realm of
moral principles which haa come upon
those who have rejected the authority
of the Catholic Church. TMvorco came
In with a repudiation of that authority
and the only possible remedy for di
vorce and It. attendant evils Is th
recognition of th divinely established
authority of the Catholic Church. So
cial philosophers who hope to find any
other sufficient sanction for Christian
morality hare studied to little purpose
the lessens of history, the psychology
of human passions and the purpose of
Christ s mission. education snd es
thetlctsm and enlightened self-interest
are aa impotent to withstand the rush
of unbridled passion as th child's
house of sand on th seaahore la to
turn back tn Incoming title. Morality
has Its roots In eternity ard lta only
sufficient safeguard In this world Is
the eternal sanctions of heaven and
hll and the authoritative voice of th
church of Christ."

of course. For their sake, as well as

Indicted for Alleged Swindle
Aimed to Mount High.
By capitalising at 1300,000 a few
sheets of paper. . posted up . In the
waste of 6outliern California, a coterie
of Portland promoters are ssld to have
found ready sale for blocks of the 600.-

dropped upon them and brought about
Indictments of L. C. Hammer. W. H.
Whlteaker and C. F. A. Peck, officers
of the company.
The operations 1 the Lake Oil. Gas
Pipe Line Company, conducted by
these men from a well-appointed of
fice In the Railway Exchange building,
are pronounced by Deputy District At
torney Page, who will prosecute them,
one of the most daring financial opera
tions ever carried on here.
Through G. T. Kolley. a prospector,
the promoters are accused cf posting
location notices on Sotf acres of land in
th vicinity of the Kern oil fields. Then.
It Is alleged, they proceeded to Incor
porate on the strength of their decla
ration of Intention to prospect the land.
Th corporation waa duly formed,
among Its powers being construction of
railroads, steamboats, dorks, tunnels,
viaducts, canals and to operate the
same, to own and run sugar planta

ft amor Seea in Books
The books of the company are said by
Deputy District Attorney Page to be
one of the most humorous productions
he ever read. According to the min
utes of th secretary only two meetings
of th board of directors were held. At
th first of these, October 4. 1S10. Hsra
mer moved that 100.000 shares of th
stock of th company be sold at 71
cents a share, and the motion went
through with a whirl. It was also
moved that 250.000 shsres be devoted
to purchasing 100 acres of placer land,
but from whom, the motion did not pro
vide. -Thla also carried unanimously.
Two weeks later the directors met
gain, at which time Mrs Hammer and
Miss Conrad resigned. Then It was
voted to reduce the price on half of
th Issue to (0 cents a shsre.
Two Women Complain.
The promoters filled their office
with specimens of oil-bearing sand and
crude oil. taken from aomewhere in
California. The stock book shows
that transfers of Hammer's and White,
aker's stock was msde to numerous
persona, but excepting the two women,
who appear aa complaining witnesses
In the pending case, none of the other
purchasers haa come forward. Mrs.
Emma Smith and Mary A. Cole received
10.000 shares each. They complain that
they were awindled. G. T. Kelley. the
prospector, received 105,000 shares for

Whether hard cash waa paid for any
of these allotments does not appear.
The only cash account kept In the of
fice waa a small book, evidently In the
hands of someone who hsd not the least
notion of accounting. The total amount
of cash set down amounted to little
and entries are frequent In which a
mere memorandum is made that
eo-and-ao "had advanced 40 cents for

Kelley. who was on the ground In
California, seems to have been will
ing to sell shares of hla prospects

he found that the company's claims

renresentstlve of the county
Slate Good Roads meeting in Po
last week voted against the calling
special session of the Legislature to
consider road legislation, petitions are
being circulated in every part of the
valley and are being freely signed.
A. T. Mason continues to raise hla old
objection to the bills as desired by the
majority of the men who met to formu
late them. He asserts that the selec
tion of the roads on which the money
received from the sale of 6onds Is to be
expended Is left entirely with the State
Road Engineer, and the Grange good
roads exponent says that he will ever
contend that the roads for tha expendi
ture of the money bo selected by the
people.
"The resolution Is the product of 16
men out of 3S appointed by the Gov
ernor to formulate future road laws for
Oregon." said Mr. Mason. "However,
there were only 18 present voting on
the recommendation 15 for and 3
against.
"Now who Is going to have tha power
of spending his rnoneyT None other
than the State Highway Commissioner,
one man. unless he has some friends to
assist him without pay. Such pro
cedure will rob the county courts and
surveyors of all power.

people the power to select the roads
upon which their money will be spent.
The Oregon State Grange will initiate
these two bills at our next general
elections."
At the lsst sssembly Mr. Mason be
came a conspicuous figure at Salem
because of his strong opposition to the
bills, providing for road legislation,
because he asserted that the county
courts were given too much power In
establishing the roads.
FILMS TO PICTURE FAIR
STOCK EXHIBITS PARADE BY

Railroad Company to Show Western
Advantages In Motion Displays
In Eastern States.
' One of the most remarkable moving
picture re-els of livestock that has
ever ben secured waa completed at
the State Fair Saturday by Lewis H.
Moomaw. a moving-picture operator,
and George M. Wlcster. special pho
tographer for the O.-W. R. & N. Com
pany, who were sent to Salem Friday
to secure the pictures for use by the
railroad company In lis advertising
campaigns In the East.
Deep mud in the yards and stables
mad It Impossible for the photograph
ers to secure satisfactory results eat
first, and finally the main grounds
were thrown open to them by courtesy
of the Fair Board.
Along gravel walks, over lawns and
through flower beds, the finest live
stock that Oregon has produced were
paraded for hours before the picture
machine, until, on 2000 feet of films,
had been secured a permanent record
of the state's exhibit at the 1911 fair,
more complete and Interesting than
had originally been' planned.
Yesterday tha machine was mounted
upon a platform for a btrdseye view of
the grounds, while the entire exhibits
from the livestock departments of the
fair wer led hither and thither along
tha walks. One of the big features In
thla picture will be White Boy. the;
2100-pound ateer from tn union otoca
yards. which is being fattened by th
company for the Portland market dur
ing the Christmas season. White Boy
was covered with a big blanket with
the legend. "Nothing Too Good for
Portland." and attracted much atten
tion whlla he waa being promenaded
before th machine.
After th film hav been developed,
a private exhibit will be held In Port
land "for several prominent livestock
men of the state and the members of
the O.-W. R. a N. Company. The
lecturer of the company will then tak
them East, where they will be exhibit
ed for 10 days at the Chicago Land

attract Immigration.
Before the films leave Portland It Is
hoped that arrangements can be made
to run tbem In one of the local thea

who desire to get a glimpse of th big
livestock parade.
Mr. Moomaw says that this film Is
the only one of its kind that has ever
been taken on such a large scale in the
Vnlted States, and believes that, the

PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINES
Nine Honored Guests Bear Sacred
Scrolls In New Church at Sixth
and Hall Streets Dr.
. Wise Speaks.
Most solemn Jewish orthdox rites
marked the dedication yesterday after
noon of the new 150.000 synagogue of
Congregation Neveh Zedeck Talmud
Torah at Sixth and Hall streets. The
new edifice was crowded with members
of the congregation and vlaltors from
other congregations of the city.
The services were begun with a se
lection by the orchestra especially pro
vided for the occasion. This was fol
lowed by an address by M. Gable, presi
dent of the congregation, who spoke
of th ordeal of building th church.
He said that until last April the new
building waa an uncertainty, but by the
efforts of th church-workera and
friends a large part of the required
money was raised between April 1 and
June j.
Church Officers Admitted.
The Impressive rites began with a
knock at the front door and Rabbi H.
N. Heller, garbed In cloak and cap,
walked back,. opened the door and said:
"This Is the gate of light: the righteous
may enter It. I will give thanks unto
thee, for thou hast answered me and
art become my salvation."
Then officers of the congregation

The key to the church was, turned
over to the president of the congre
gation by M. Ostrow, chairman of the
building committee, after which Rabbi
J. Bloch said the Invocation.
Nine honored guests then received
the scrolls and marched around the in
terior of the church to the muslo of
"Schma Israel." The honored guests
were Ben Selling, D. Soils Cohen. Jonah
B Wise, Dr. N. Mosessohn, Dr. J. Bloch,
A. Rosensteln. L. Sax, Dr. R. Abraham
son and Slg Sichel.
The perpetual light was lighted while
th orchestra played. This light, which
surmounts the altar, will be kept burn
ing continually as long as the new edi
fice stands. The "Golden Book." con
taining the names of all persons who
contributed to the building fund of the
church, was then placed on the altar
with th scrolls.
Twn- AJfllMITl Made.
Addresses were delivered In the serv
ices by D. Bolts Cohen and Dr. Jonah B.
Wise. Mr. Cohen made an appeal for
the assistance of the congregation in
the raising of money to make th final
paymenta on the new church. Two
thirds of th required amount has been
raised. Dr. Wise spoke on the meaning
of the church and the advantages of
progress.
The new church Is one of the pret
tiest In the city. Th exterior Is carved
and fringed with stone and Is graced
with an artistically-decorated tower.
The Interior Is finished In rough plaster
with light hardwood decorations. The
building occupies the same site as th
old church, which had become far too
small for the growing congregation.
