Commandment and End of

Decision on the placo for holding? the
Third "World's Christian Citizenship
Conference was not made yesterday In
the report of the business committee
which had been appointed earlier In the
week, at the Second World's Christian
Citizenship Conference, owing; to the
number of invitations, and the selection
was lfeft to the executive committee of
tne .National Kerorm Association, under
whose auspices the "World's Christian
Citizenship Conferences are held.
More than 40 cities have proffered
invitations for the 1915 conference,
among? the principal ones of which are
New York, Chicago, Boston. Baltimore,
St. Louis, Nashville, San Francisco and
Atlantic City.
The only city mentioned by name In
the report was San Francisco. The de
cision of the executive board of the Re
form Association will not be made for
some weeks.
The business committee report was
read by Dr. Robert C. Wylie, of Pitts
burg', and gave an outline of action
which It deemed advisable for the dele
grates to follow out.
God'a Lin In 1'rged.
The principal feature of this was the
recommendation that efforts be made
to have the name of God and recogni
tion of Christianity as supreme author
ity in the realm of National life, Incor
porated in the organic laws of the Na
tion. It was voted to send this section
of the report of the committee to the
officials of the new Chinese Republic,
urging that In the drafting of their new
constitution they make use of some ex
plicit utterance of "their recognition of
the God of Nations and of the suprem
acy of his law."
The committee urged that In every
community efforts be made to secure
the observance of special days of prayer,
such as the Temperance day on the
second Sunday of November, and the
Day of Prayer for Schools on the sec
ond Sunday in September.
An effort to put In practice the pro
gramme of action, which was adopted
Wednesday, was recommended by the
committee.
Not only total abstinence from use of
all alcoholic liquors by all Christians,
but efforts on their part to "deliver the
slaves of Intemperance from bondage"
and work toward National prohibition
of both the manufacture of and traffic
In intoxicating beverages of all kinds,
was declared to be needful.
Obedience of Commandment Urged.
Declaring that the fourth command
ment Is permanently binding and des
ignates -the portion of time for sacred
rest, but not the specific day, and de
claring that rest from Becular employ
ment on this day is the right of all, the
Teport said that this commandment
should be recognized by law.
Mentioning the public schools, the report-
declares that the training of fu
ture citizens is fatally defective unless
It aims to develop the moral nature,
and the reading of the Bible, without
sectarian note, in all the public schools
Is urged.
The family was declared to he th
primary social unit and the welfare of
xne -vauon was held to rest on thi In-
tegrity of the family and education of
the people as to its real nature was
recommended. Reformation of laws to
bring them in harmony with the law of
tod, with the view of suppressing all
vice, also was urged, and Christian
ministers were called on to diligently
teach the truth on the matter, as set
forth In the Scriptures, and to refuse
to perform marriage ceremonies in
cases "not warranted by the work of
God."
Radical changes in the methods ot
dealing with crime and criminals also
were suggested by the committee.

outside the walls of the church and set
them free in the market place, ft the

PRELATES -SAY 'MASS
State Catholic Federation
Opens in Seattle.
CABLE FROM POPE IS READ
Noted Churchmen, Including- Arch
bishop Christie, Attend and Ser
mon to Delegates Is Delivered
by Bishop of Baker City.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 6. (Special.)
With Archbishop Christie, of Portland,
celebrating a pontifical high mass, as
sisted by Bishop O'Reilly, of Baker City.
Or.; Bishop Lenihan, of Great Falls,
Mont.; Bishop O'Dea, of Seattle, and
nearly a score of priests, the second
annual convention of the Catholic Fed
eration of the State of Washington
opened in St. James Cathedral today.
The edifice was taxed to Its capacity,
camp stools having to be provided for
the overflow of worshippers. The serv
ice was given an added distinction by
the presence of Archbishop Christie, to
day's mass being the first celebrated
by him in Seattle for several years.
Bishop O'Reilly was attended by Rev.
A. Lane, of Portland, and Rev. H. J.
Marshall, of Baker City.
The sermon to the delegates', a plea
in behalf of organization of Catholics,
was delivered by Bishop O'Reilly, who
spoke in part as follows.
"It Is not necessary to inform you
that the ' Federation is a Catholic and
not a political organization. It has
nothing to do with politics as such,
jut it aims to bring God Into the solu
tion of the problems that threaten our
existence as a - Nation, especially the
problem of capital and labor. It Is a
principle of our Catholic Federation
that religion should not interfere with
politics.
Good Offlclads Desired.
"What we want Is the men and we
should rather, by far, vote for a. good
Protestant seeking a public office, than
a bad Catholic. If, however, any part
of our Government, State or National,
should formulate - laws against justice
and right established by God to govern
society, between citizens and Govern
ment, then the Federation must vigor
ously oppose such unjust action.
"We Catholics are anxious to co-op
erate with our non-Catholic friends
against divorce. - against race suicide,
against socialism and the social evils,
against Intemperance, against the ene
mies of God's commandments, and
against those who would destroy the
reign of law and order In our. fair
country.
"The old order Is passing away.
Priests and churches and parochial
schools are being multiplied in many
growing sections of this great North
west, the old Oregon country, and we
must stand together to save our people
from the dangers of irrellglon and in
fidelity,' forces which, alas, are waxing
strong in our beloved country.
Influx of Catholics Expected.
Archbishop Christie said:
"With the opening of the Panama
Canal this section will be deluged with
people from Europe, coming largely
from Catholic countries, and it Is upon
such organizations as the Federation
that we must depend for their sale
keeping.'. Bishop O'Dea read a cablegram from
Pope Plux X. conferring his special
blessing upon the delegates, also upon
Archbishop Casey, of Vancouver, B. C,
and Bishop Glorieux. of Boise, Idaho.
' Cardinal O'Connell, of Boston, is rep
resented at the convention by Rev.
Father Nelllgan, one of the officers at
yesterday's mass, aiid Archbishop Rior
dan, of San Francisco, is represented by
Rev. Father Sasia, also an officer at
yesterday's mass.
The convention will reassemble at
9:30 tomorrow morning in - Cathedral
Hall, to hear the address of President
'Donovan and the reports of the various
standing committees.
Laborers Paid Orf.

DR. M'CATXEY BLAMES GREED
FOR PRESENT COXDITIOXS.
Series of Addresses Made at Chris
tian Citizenship Conference and
Future Work Outlined.
"Increasing cost of the necessities of
life is not due to the failure of the land
to produce plenty," maintained Dr.
Hugh B. McCauley, of Philadelphia, be
fore the World's Christian Citizenship
Conference, when he spoke on "Church
Co-operation and Public Charities,"
"but lies in the inhumanity and greed
of those commercial organizations
which attempt to dam up the streams
through which the products of the land
would naturally go to those who need
them; the men who by destruction ' of
foodstuffs and the commercial control
of the avenues of distribution keep
thousands ill-fed and poor that they
themselves may reap a contemptible
profit."
Ir. McCauley declared that charities
should be under the direct and constant
supervision of the state.
President P. L. Campbell, of the Uni
versity of Oregon, spoke on "Democ
racy and Christianity the Foundation
of American Education."
"Christianity and democracy are so
essentially one in spirit that they can
not be disassociated In practise," he
said. "Common school and university
alike must leave the unmistakable Im
print of democracy and Christianity on
every student that goes, out from their
doors." .-
Dr. J. S. McGaw, of Pittsburg, field
secretary of the National Reform Asso
ciation, made an address on "Practical
Patriotism." Dr. R. B. Peery, of Atch

not only the Ideals for future activity
of the conference, but reviewing and
commenting on the work of the present

HEAVY RAINS INJURE HAY
Malheur County to Harvest . Only
Half Crop of Alfalfa.
VALE. Or., July 6. (Special.) The
heaviest rainfall in the history of Mal
heur County has been In progress the
past 10 days. With the week ending
last night here had fallen 3.1 inches
of water In Vale.
At the beginning of this wet spell
nearly all the farmers in the Malheur
and Snake River valleys had their first
crop of alfalfa down. The continued
wet weather prevented any of this hay
from curing or being stacked, entail
ing, a loss of perhaps 50 per cent of
the crop.
The tirst crop being the heaviest the
loss sustained by the farmers will ag
gregate nearly half of the year's out

to a considerable extent. The same
conditions prevail on Willow River,
