MORATORIUM. DECLARED.
We liked that word, morato
rium, from the very first and
after we found out what it
mesfit. we liked It better.
It means, so far as we have
been able to gather from such
profound students of Interna
tional law as G. White and
GalvanI, that you do not have
to pay your debts tor a certain
length of time,
Tls well.
Ye scribe hss been declaring
moratoriums right along for a
year or so. but has had a good
deal of trouble making other
people regard them. They want
us to pay whether we can or
not. and sometimes, though not
always, succeed Jn their unrea
sonable demands.
However, to take a decided
stand on this question, as we
feel that our position as a great
molder of publlo opinion de
mands, we now say that, so far
as The Crawrflsh is conoerned, it
Is In favor of declaring a per
petual moratorium.
We are in earnest about thla
For one thing It would abolish
the pernicious oredlt system
which, as everybody admlta. Is
partly to blame for the high cost
of living.
If no one had to pay their
debts, there wouldn't be any
debts contracted, would there?
Everybody would have to pal'
as they go ana, mm the theory
of the credit system Is that
everyone must pay eventually,
rertalnlr nothlnff would be lost.
and a great deal would be saved.
Then, too, the loan sharks
would curl up their toes and die
a natural death.
But better than that, and
more dear to the heart of ye
scribe, all the collection agen
das would be put out of busi
ness. 'Twer one of those consum
mations devoutly to be wished,
and we think that someone
ought to bring the matter to
the attention of the next Legis
lature. So far as this paper is con
cerned, we are willing to de
clare a moratorium right now.

ELECTRIC FIGHT IS OVER
Proposed New Company Will Not In
vade Cottage Grove.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Aug. 9.
(Special.) Cottage Grove will not have
a second electric light company despite
the fact that the City Council had
awarded the city lighting contract to a
proposed competitor of the Cottage
Grove Electric Company and had called
a special election to vote on a fran
chise for the new company.
At a special meeting of tho Council
held Friday night the Cottage Grove
Electric Company submitted a proposal
lower than that of the tender which
had been accepted from O. E. Nichols,
who was supposed to be representing?
either the Oregon Power Company or
the Douglas County Power Company.
Mr Nichols, for what he thought to be
the best interests of the city, withdrew
his proposal, and the new proposal
made by the local company was ac
cepted. Springfield Has New Pastor.
SPRINGFIELD, Or., Aug. 9. (Spe

and preached his first sermons today as

a pastor for the past four months, and
in this time the church building has
been entirely remodeled and enlarged.
One of the new pastor's early duties
will be the rededlcatlon of the church.

Dave Wallace, who acted as

ROSEBURG MAN IS DEAD
C. S. Jackson Believed to Have Suc

ROSEBURG, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.)
Apparently succumbing . from heart
failure, C. S. Jackson, a prominent
local attorney, was found dead late
Saturday by two hunters. The body
lay beside a trail in the dense thicket
on his homestead about 20 miles south
of Roseburg.
Mr. Jackson left here for his home
stead a few days ago, and Saturday
morning informed Mrs. Jackson that
he Intended to spend the day cutting
and burning brush some distance from
his cabin. Nothing more was seen or
heard of him until late in the evening,
when his lifeless body was found.
Mr. Jackson served in the lower
house of the State Legislature in 1907.
He also served as Chief Clerk of the
joint committee for the House and
Senate en ways and means during the
21st session. On another occasion he
served as clerk of the judiciary com

Wholesale disregard of the truths of
Christianity was declared to He back
of the present war in Europe, by the
Rev. John D. Rice, vicar of St. Johns
Church in Sellwood, In his sermon yes
terday morning.
"People will admit that Christ's
teachings are right," he said, "and yet
refuse t0 abide by them. If they did,
there would be peace on earth and
good will toward men at the present
time instead of a frightful war, which
shows that the culture of civilization
is merely a veneering spread over brute
savagery.
"The misery, havoc and penalties of
war are but the harvtst reaped from a
wholesale disregard of the truth in
Christ. This is one great, terrible way
in which mankind brings home to It
self the fact that God cannot be mocked
nor his divine laws set at naught."

PATRON
PASTOR IS LET OUT
Deacons of First Christian
Ask Resignation.
FLOCK OPPOSES ACTION
Announcement of Retirement of
Rev. Maxwell Hall Creates Stir
and Church Fight Looms.
Woman Alleges Plot.
Rev. Maxwell Hall, pastor of the
First Christian Church, at the close of
the sermon and service yesterday morn
ing, announced that he had tendered
his resignation to the joint board of
the church, and that it had been ac
cepted. Silence prevailed in the audi
torium for a few moments, then the
members assembled voted unanimously
to refuse to accept the action of the
deacons.
Mr. Hall beggea the congregation to
refrain from any expressions that would
cause dissension or to take any step
that would hurt the Christian Church.
Mrs. J. D. Glllilan, Jr., moved that, in
asmuch as the church membership had
not been consulted, and, as the advice
of the elders had been ignored by the
deacons, the church should ask the
deacons to resign. H. M. Haller, a mem
ber of the board, who had expressed
himself as working for the best inter
ests of the church and of the pastor,
declared Mrs. Gillilan's motion was out
of order.
If anv action is taken officially by
the church a called meeting of the
membership will have to be held. The
next regular meeting of the Joint board
is set for September 7. Mr. Hall said
he will preach his last sermon In the
First Christian Church next Sunday.
Deacon Cause Step.
Mr. Hall has occupied the First Chris
tian pulpit since last Easter Sunday.
The pastor says the deacons held a
secret meeting several weeks ago, after
which they told him his services were
unsatisfactory. His resignation yester
day was the result.
"We had absolutely no charges
against the pastor," said Frank Nase, a
deacon, "but we didn't like Mr. Hall's
pulpit presence and we didn't think
much of his ability. At a meeting of
the joint board 18 out of 21 voted to
ask his resignation. At this morning's
services some of the members got fussy
and there was a vote taken refusing
to accept the resignation, and no one
voted in opposition. No, there is noth
ing against Mr. Hall's character, abso
lutely nothing."
One of the prominent women of the
church said that some of the deacons
were opposed to the young pastor be
cause they "couldn't run him." So, she
said, they picked flaws in his work and
decided to force him out by making the
position unpleasant.
"Some of them," she said, "complained
that he sometimes referred to notes
when preaching. Others thought he
was too strict, but the young people
and the members, who do the real
church work, all like him."
"Forgiveness" His Theme.
Mr. Hall, prior to his announcement,
had preached on the "Consequences of
Forgiveness." There was no bitterness
in his remarks. It was an impressive
address that seemed to put a calm upon
the atmosphere that, at the beginning,
had been tense with varied feelings.
Mr. Hall's former pastorate was In
Uniontown. Pa., where he had a church
of 1500 members with a Sunday school
of 800. He has been successful In
church work in the East and has won
many warm friends here, who have ex
pressed admiration for him as a man
and a pastor. He has a wife and three
small children.
Pastor Makes statement.
Mr. Hall's complete statement to his
congregation yesterday, the delivery of
which caused surprise to many, was:
"In view of the fact that several of
the officers of this church and other
members had expresesd the opinion
that my services as minister were un
satisfactory; and, because of my con
viction that it would be impossible
under the circumstances for me to real
ize my ideals for you, I presented to
the joint board at its regular meeting
last Monday evening my resignation as
your pastor and it was accepted. This
resignation is to take effect November
16, 1914; but, in accordance with an
understanding with the Joint board, I
shall be absent from pulpit and pastoral
work after August 16."
The elders who, it is said, had recom
mended that Mr. Hall be retained for
the remainder of the year, include G.
Everett Baker, Dr. J. S. Dale. C. M. Paul
and E. U. Morrison. The deacons in
clude O. M. Murphy, A H. Averlll, Carl
B. Brown, R. E. Bristow. W. W. Crit
tenden, B. C. Darnall, George H. Grom
bacher, H. M. Haller. Dr. William O.

10-YEAR WAR PREDICTED
Rev. S. R. Hawkins Also Fears
United States May Be Involved.
That the present war is unjustifiable
and was caused by greed and selfish
ness on the part of the nations in
volved, excepting Belgium and Servia,
and that all will suffer fearful conse
quences, was declared yesterday by
Rev. S. R. Hawkins In his sermon on
"War, Its Uses and Abuses," in the
Central Christian Church.
The preacher referred to the present
war as the most significant of modern
times, and said he would not be sur
prised to see the United States become
involved. He pointed out the rightful
use of war, Justified by the Scriptures,
among which was national self-preservation
and war declared to save a
weaker nation, such as the conflict the
United States waged against Spain to
save Cubu.
"This war period." declared the cler
gyman, "will not be over in less than
ten years, and before its ending we
shall have a new heaven and a new
earth, comparatively speaking. It is
going to result in man realizing the
hopelessness of depending on carnal
weapons. Since the earliest dawn of
human history God never permitted a
nation to go unpunished after making
war upon his word and upon his people.
"None of us today can tell where this
war will end. I believe it may last ten
years. In some form, and I shall not he
surprised to see the United States in
volved. Even some of the young men
present in this congregation may die
upon the battlefield."
DR. TRIMBLETALKS ON WAR
National Selfishness Declared Rea
son and Penitence Predicted.
National selfishness and the policy
of nations to try to preserve peace by
steadiiy Increasing armament, were
declared by the Rev. Delmer H. Trim
ble, of the Centenary Methodist
Church In his sermon yesterday, as
the chief reasons for the present war
that ls devastating Europe.
"The World ls big enough for all
nations." he said, "If the people would
govern themselves and their Interna
tional relations by the principles of
Christianity. However the present
European turmoil is due to the ejpirlt
of territorial and commercial agran
dlzement and the fear that If the
Slav gets his due the Teuton will be
crowded off the planet and vice versa.
The age-long policy of Great Britain
in keeping Russia from a port, ice
free the year round, probably has been
a mistake, both from the commercial
and ethnological standpoint.
"This war in the ravages that it
will work and the direful toll that It
will exact will probably induce a
state of penitence among the nations
for the ways of war such as history
has not seen. The gospel of peace
which has been so powerfully preached
for the past quarter of a century will,
I predict, demand a more general at
tention and a more thoughtful hearing
when the smoke of this battle has
cleared away. Some who have been
most eager to rush Into this fray
will in a few short months be the
most ardent advocates of international
arbitration and the arts of peace."
UNION SEN AFTER WAR
REV. J. V. GHORMLEV PKUACIIKS
ON GENERAL COMBAT.
Minister Declare Final Peace Will Be
Result of Clash and Christian
- Ideals WU1 Prevail.
Destruction of the forms of monarchy
existing in Europe today and growth
of the world Into a larger freedom,
based upon the principles of Christian
ity, were predicted as a result of the
present clash in Europe, by Rev. J. F.
Ghormley, lu his sermon at the Monta
vllla Christian Church last night.
He said In part:
"Armies of the nations are constantly
being gathered into place, called in the
Hebrew tongue. Har Magedon, but in
plain English Into a 'mountain of de
struction.' "The whole world has been made a
whispering gallery by the Inventions
of Edison and Marconi. No nation lives
to itself. If unfettered thought finds
expression in political institutions by
the people and for the people, in some
favored spot on earth, it ls quickly
conveyed to other minds fettered by old
traditions and institutions, and the
struggle for libertj- ls on. The pri
mary cause la God. Consciously or un
consciously, Christian Ideals have per
meated the nations and are struggling
for realization. The leaven of the gos
pel of Christ Is working. The struggle
of humanity for humanity is on the
same struggle the world over. In the
morning, when the dreams of Kings
and Czars and Emperors shall have
been dispelled, the men of the nations
will then awake to the full realization
that they are brothers."
ARROW LINE OPENS OFFICE
New Organization Started In Port-land-Coos
Bay-San Francisco Fleet.
Offices of the Arrow Line are to be
opened on the second floor of the Hall
way Exchange building with W. M.
Brown in charge, according to Infor
mation given out yesterday by A. A.
Moran. manager of the fleet, who 1ms
been here from San Francisco for the
past week and returned to -his home
last night. F. T. Sheldon will probably
be named as freight solicitor.
In the past affairs of the line have
been looked after by Baumgartner &
Baker on Albers dock. It is under
stood the line will continue to use the
dock. In the fleet are the steamers
Camlno, Paraiso, Navajo. Yellowstone
and Alvarado and extra vessels are
chartered at times. The Camlno Is out
of service at San Francisco and is to
be operated through the canal, while
the Paraiso and Yellowstone ply be
tween the Golden Gate and Portland
via Coos Bay. The Navajo la to be
equipped with passenger accommoda
tions and operated via Coos Bay with
the Paraiso.
COAST WORK IS XOT AFFECTED
War Department and Taxpayers
Provide for Entire Season.
Harbor-improvement projects at Ne
halem, Tillamook and filuslaw will not
suffer because annual appropriations
are not forthcoming, due to the failure
of the rivers and harbors bill to pass
as yet, because those undertakings are
Jointly supported by port bodies there
as well as by the Government, and
money for the season's work ls avail
able. At Coos Bay the Port of Coos Bay has
shouldered the expense of operating the
dredge Col. P. S. Mlchle on the bar- and
the dredge Oregon in the channel In
side, though both vessels belong tn the
fleet of the Corps of Engineers, U. S. A.
It is assured they will be kept In serv
ice during August, but should appro
priations for rivers and harbors not
be at hand then the diggers probably
will be retired.
