10 THE MORXING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1914. IS PRAISED Public School Held Superior to Parochial Institution. PRINCIPLES ARE EXTOLLED IIcv. D. V. Polins Declares One Plan Militates Against Caste While Other Fosters It Xo Plea Made for Bible Teaching. rtev. I. V. Poling, pastor of Pilgrim Congregational Church, preached yes terday on th subject: "Is the Public School System of Education In the ITnited States a Failure?" and em phatically uplield the free public school system as against the parochial system of education. Quoting from statements of an advo cate of the parochial system, he answered the argument that the free public school system has failed to pro duce "the type of men that should be the distinguishing feature of a Chris tian civilization," by declaring that if this be be true, the fault cannot be laid to the system of education. "The public school system of the United States stands for certain great principles which are fundamental in American life," he said, "and. therefore, if there be this lack of 'distinguishing features of Christian civilization.' as re ferred to. It is here, despite the system, and not because of it. "To a larger extent than any other institution in America, the system of public instruction militates against the spirit of. caste, which is the logical fruit of a parochial system. The re strictions found superimposed else where upon capability are not found within the common school walls of this country. The public school is all the time developing the idea that 'one man Is as good as another,' and, as Josh Billings put it, 'sometimes a little bet ter." "Each year there go out of our high schools those who have learned the duties of intelligent and patriotic citizenship. The knowledge of these duties has been largely distilled from the public schools. "The free school system of this coun try wages no war against church schools, while, on the other hand, ad vocates of the parochial system main tain that public school education is not only inefficient but dangerous, tending to actual infidelity. "In recounting the wealth of our Nation, we should lay a larger emphasis n the means and potentiality of poiu lar education. Our libraries have 0, s 000, 000 more volumes today than all the libraries of Great Britain, Germany, (Switzerland. Austria. Russia and Italy combined. With the exception of Sax ony, the United States stands first among the nations in giving the finest education known among the world's peoples. "I am not asking that the Bible as a text book be put in the schools, any more than T would that the name of God be put in the Constitution. "It is not the first duty of a system of public education to teach a system of religious faith." 4 P. M., steamer E. H. Vance, from San Pedro. Left up at 11 last night, steamers Celilo and J. A.

NO LEADER IS RECOGNIZED Devil to Be Feared, or With Whom to Reckon, Is Not Known Re lation Declared as That of Christ 'to John the Baptist. "New Thought's relation to Christian Science is comparable to that of Jesus Christ to John the Baptist," was the statement made last night in- outlining the cardinal points of difference be tween New Thought and Christian Sci ence by the Rev. P. J. Green, minister of the New Thousht Temple. The Dev. Mr. Green said that his ad dress was not made in the spirit of an tagonism toward the Christian Science Church, for which he holds entire friendship, but that it was offered to explain the substantial divergence in the doctrines of the two faiths. "New Thought," he said, "differs from Christian Science in that it has no leader, whose name we must repeat in public reading, as in Christian Sci ence. "Its one leader is the Spirit of .Truth manifesting in the consciousness of men and women, whose minds are free from prejudice and hypnotism of dead men's doc trill 3S. Dvll Not Part of Belief. "It has no devil to fear and reckon with, such as malicious animal magne tism, nor any other. "It has neither central authority nor manual to forbid or command the indi vidual in living out his own private convictions. "It does not forbid anyone prophe sying or preaching the truth revealed to his consciousness by the Spirit with in, but grants to each' individual the full freedom of his conscience in mat ters of living and practicing the di vine Jife. " x "No church authority is exercised over the individual, who is as free to write and speak as was Mrs. Eddy. whose church denies that same freedom to its members. "It does not deny the reality of mat ter, but affirms that matter is a con densed form of spirit, as ice is a con densed form of steam, and therefore not an illusion. "It does not deny disease, but affirms the reality of health. Body Is Not Denied. "It does not deny the, body, but alms to glorify the body as God's dwelling place. "It does not refuse to minister to members of the Catholic Church, but welcomes people of all creeds and no creed to its healing message. "It does not require the discharge of medical physicians before it will min ister to the sick. "New Thought's publications are two years older than -those of Christian Science. "It has no special text book, but drinks the truth from all bibles and inspired writings. "It does not agree with the old edu cation, that there is no life or intelli gence in matter, but affirms that every atom of matter contains some degree of life and intelligence. "New Thought's relation to Christian Science is comparable to that of Jesus Christ and John the Baptist. Jesus Christ was before John the Baptist ('The first born of many brethren.') Yet John the Baptist prepared the Way for Jesus Christ. John the Baptist came denying, Jesus. Christ came affirming." Echoes From Railroad Row STOCKHOLDERS of the Union Pa cific living in Portland have been advised that an extra dividend of $35 a share is to be paid on the common stock on April 1. It is reported, however, that some of the bondholders are to become vigorous remonstrants to the payments of the dividend. The funds from which it is proposed to pay this money were obtained through the recent sale of Southern Pacific stock in accordance with orders of the United States Su preme Court. Stockholders ot the Pennsylvania railroad have been advised that at the annua! meeting in Philadelphia on Tuesday of this week the stockholders will be asked to authorize a mortgage "to secure bonds to be Issued from time to time when and as approved by stock holders to an amount not- In excess at any time of the then outsanding capi tal stock." It has been said that the Pennsyl vania plans to outstrip other railroads -hich have created blanket mortgages by making a new indenture for $1,000, 000.000. Under the terms as given in the circular the company would at the present time be authorized to issue a total of $600,000,000. It Is estimated that more than $1. 000,000 of Pennsylvania stock is held in Portland and it is understood that the stockholders here are favorable to the mortgage plan. A plan to defeat the practice of ship ping trunks and other baggage on rail road tickets without use of the tickets has been effected by a recent ruling of the Texas Railroad Commission. Hereafter tickets bearing punch marks showing that baggage has been checked against them will not be re deemable. Commissions in other states are thinking of adopting the same rule. The railroads report considerable trouble in recent years with persons vhv buy tickets, check baggage or merchandise on them and then have the tickets redeemed. The Pennsylvania company has abol ished 11 local passenger trains operat ing out of Pittsburg, as well as two limited trains between Pittsburg and Chicago. This action is in keeping with the general retrenchment policy re cently adopted by the Pennsylvania system. LAND CLEARING IS. URGED Married Men's League Suggests Possibility of Employment. Plans to induce owners of large tracts of logged-off lands to finance the establishment of land-clearing col onies were discussed yesterday at the meeting of the Unemployed Married Men's League in room H at the Central Library. The speakers were W. H Black and Arthur Moulton. Mrs. A. W Nicholson presided. Mrs. Nicholson requests farmers who can give employment to men to notify the league. Those who will advance carfare to prospective employes are re quested to say so. Telephone East 6262. BEAVER LANDS 300 HERE Captain E. l'ranoke Comes to Port land to Meet Shippers.

Arrived at 3 and left up Overwhelming Verdict A few months ago, a man in no way connected with the making of Postum or the marketing of coffee, wrote to quite a number of physicians all over the country asking their unbiased testimony in the case of Postum vs. Coffee. The following excerpts from their letters constitute an overwhelming verdict In Favor of Postum "I have discarded coffee altogether in my family, and instead use Postum, which we find makes a rich, delicious drink, without any of the-deleterious effects at tendant on the continuous use of coffee." "Our family have been users of Postum for a long time. We were very liberal coffee drinkers, but were conscious that coffee was harming us our nervous sys tem, digestion and heart action so we quit the coffee and began using Postum. KW we relish it far more than we did coffee, and are all relieved of the old cof fee troubles. As a physician I have in duced several families to quit coffee and use Postum." "Postum when it is desirable to leave off coffee on account of over-stimulation or gastric disturbances." "Postum has been used in my family nearly ever since it was placed on the mar ket, and I recommend it to my patients. It is a nourishing drink. A great . many families are giving their children Postum in place of coffee with best results." "I have used Postum in my. family for years with the most satisfactory result so much so that we-have practically abol ished coffee, and with it the coffee head aches, nervousness, and' lying awake the best part of the night." "I drink Postum every morning, and recommend it to my friends, who have 'nerves' and indigestion." "No more coffee for me. I am using Instant Postum and advise my patients to do likewise. I prefer it to the best cof fee, and have no more sour stomach at tacks as I used to." "For years I have been using Postum in the family and advocating it for my pa tients. I consider it to be exactly what its manufacturers claim for it. Postum is ex cellent in place of coffee where the latter is contraindieated. The food value of Pos tum plays an important part when com pared with coffee." "Have had many cases that could not drink coffee on account of its reflex ac tion on the heart. Postum always supplies the place of coffee without the bad effects." "I have used Postum for the past eight years in place of coffee. Before that I was troubled with frequent bilious head aches, due to excessive use of coffee, and was then advised to use Postum. Since (hat time I have not had a single attack, which effect I attribute entirely to Postum. I frequently recommend it to others, who experience equally gratifj-ing results." "Hardly a week goes by that I do not advise some patient with an irritable, acid stomach and nervous heart to stop at once the use of all coffee and take up the use of Postum, and always with good results." "I am satisfied that coffee is responsi ble in a great degree for the premature breakdown of our active men and women. They suffer from caffeine poisoning. Of the truth of this there is not the shadow of a doubt. Our common sense tells 114 that the daily swallowing of caffeine over stimulating the heart and brain will be followed by nervous depression, and finally by more or less disastrous results. I be lieve if people in general would use Postum as a beverage in place of coffee and tea their mental and physical condition would be much improved." In the light of such testimony it would seem the part of -wisdom to stop coffee and use Postum. Postum is a genuine food-drink, made of whole wheat and a small percent of molasses. Contains the nutritious values of the grain, but is pure and absolutely free from the coffee drug, caffeine, or any other harmful substance. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum must be well boiled to bring out its fine flavor. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum a soluble form. A teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water with sugar and cream added makes a delightful beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. "There's a Reason" For POSTUM : . . sold by grocers everywhere. si at jb Men and Young Men . Who Appreciate mmm the importance of true styles, ex clusive fabrics and proper tailoring should acquaint themselves with the new Spring Styles in Benjamin Clothes that await their inspection here, and here only in Portland. Know, too, that Benjamin Clothes are not offered, anywhere, under any other name. Not nearly so expensive as custom-made clothes, but as good in every way.
