Sumner, elected early yesterday morning- to succeed the late Right Rev erend Charles Scadding as bishoj of the Episcopal diocese of Oregon, may he had from an address on "Social Kervice Through the Church," deliv ered by Rev. Mr. Sumner less than a year ago before the Twenty-eighth an nual convention of the St. Andrew's Cross in New York City. In his exposition of the subject to which he has directed so "much Btudy and so much effort in Chicago. Bishop elect Sumner dwells upon the impor tance of good citizenship and upon the four possible avenues of social service, a service he defines as "the study of character under adversity and the at tempt to remove that adversity." "All Must Live at Best." "Keen competition compels every man. today to live at his best," says Bishop-elect Sumner. "That which takes from him the powers to meet the demands that labor and society puts upon him is the thing to shun. "We may give addresses. publish tracts, preach sermons upon Intemper ance, upon lust, upon vice, upon vicious practices, but none will be so far reaching as that which will convince the Intelligent person that these are not the only things for which he must an swer at the great bar of justice, but they are also things which are taking away his power to live at his best today. "The only thing which commands re spect in business and professional life is efficiency, next to honesty; and the laws of efficiency hang upon a man's output, either in quantity or quality, or both. Plainly It is the part of wis dom to have man so conserve his en ergy, to develop his genius, that his output shall not be inferior in quality or smaller in quantity than that of his competitor. As it Is in business, I take it, so it Is in citizenship. Citizenship Keanlsltes Three. "There are three requisites of cltl Benship, in my judgment. The first is knowledge. In these days of the en lightened press, of wide magazine read ing, there is absolutely no excuse for Ignorance on the part of citizens. "Now every man is securing from his community, if not a fortune, at least a living wage or a living salary. Each person owes something to his community in return for that com munity's support. Among other things he owes his loyalty. No city ever reached her pinnacle of power and beauty unless she was believed in by her sons and. daughters. "A third requisite is necessary. That citizen who is gifted, who Is beyond, perhaps, the point where he has to think of the necessities of life, who has been blessed with education, who hail ample opportunity for full knowl edge and yet is bo indifferent tnat he will not contribute his share to the so lution of these problems, or so indif ferent that he will not stand for office or take- an interest in civic adminis tration or of public affairs or so indif ferent that he will not even cast his ballot. Is not only indifferent, but an undesirable citizen, taking community support and giving back nothing in community interest. Social Service Defined. "If in efficient citizenship we meas ure our efficiency In action, what do we call that action? It is sometimes called social service. We sometimes Bay that social service is caring for the poor, the sick, the Infirm or aged. The definition I want to give is, I think. Inclusive and conclusive. It is this, 'the study of character under adver sity and the attempt to remove that adversity. "In the Btudy of character under ad versity and the attempt to remove that adversity there opens up for us four avenues at least. The first is along the lines of civic welfare. "We shall never make any great ad vance along the avenues of justice, of honest and efficient administration of our affairs at the primaries or polls until first we escape, until we are re moved from those conditions where the best men are not selected for office. YVorlc Inpr Women Considered. "One department of effort must be along the lines of the laboring man. But the laboring woman! Primarily the sphere of woman is the home. There is no higher calling than the call of motherhood, but what are we going to do with the 10,000,000 today in this country In Industry who have no homes? "She Is our problem; a condition unique in the history of the world. There are now almost twice as many as ten years before In the Industrial ranks, an oversupply of untrained, un skilled women workers, competing un Justly with men and machinery. "And we must not forget the child. The prosperity of this country does not demand 2,500,000 children in In dustrial life today, and I challenge anyone to name one article to manu facture which the skill of a child is necessary. The only reason children ore employed is the greed and avarice of men who will exploit child labor for the small wage, therebydoing in justice to the child of future genera tions and to the laborer. Single Standard Vrncd. "Again we have an opportunity to break down the double standard. refer to that standard which has never been demanded by womanhood, and men have been so ungracious and un christian as never to grant to woman hood the single standard of morality, sex morality for man and woman alike. And we can never hope to reach even the fringe of this great social evil problem until we can approach it from this standpoint. "We sometimes Bay that this Is necessary evil. Very well. To whom Is it necessary? Is it necessary to manhood? Ask any physician or physi ologist. What a reflection upon your son, upon every unmarried man In the community, what an Insult to the celibate clergy of the church. Abso lutely and unequivocally it is not , necessary. Liquor Traffic Denounced. "One great menace which is not pop ular nowadays in public discussions, the greatest contributing force to these conditions of which I speak, is the organized liquor interest. There is no more damnable influence in the community today than the organized liquor traffic, breaking down the in tegrity of the home, the Integrity of the Nation and the integrity of the Government itself. "And while some may differ as to llllillfiilf VERY REV. WALTER T. SIMXKE. the great advance which may come with the franchise of election to wom- n, because some day it will be theirs. of this I am absolutely certain, that when the franchise is theirs you will find standing shoulder to shoulder those who have suffered the -greatest Injustice and misery and wretchedness because of the liquor traffic, women native born and alien, rich and poor, Ignorant and educated, and . voting practically as a unit for the suppres sion of the liquor traffic. . Social service gives- ample - oppor tunity for the individual and for the groups of organized individuals in ivic. In -social -and in moral - uplift. What a fine thing It Is for a man or a woman to choose for their life voca tion a profession or vocation where so cial service is their constant work. And yet the church languishes because we have not the men." CAUi CONSIDERED IMPORTANT Dean Sumner Snprised by Xevfs He Is Elected Oregon Bishop. CHICAGO, Sept. 17. His election to the Episcopal bishopric of Oregon came as a surprise to Dean Walter T. Sumner, when the news was given him by a newspaper man here today. Dean Sumner recently declined calls to Cleveland and to the pastorate of the wealthy North Side Parish of St. James, on the grounds that he had work in his present field to occupy him everal years. "The Oregon call," he said, "Is Impor tant, and I cannot announce' my deci sion until I have given the subject careful consideration. Dean Sumner is one of the most popular ecclesiastics in Chicago, and for years has been in the van of the campaign lor political and social re form. Dean Sumner Delays Reply. Dr. A. A. Morrison, of Trinity Church, yesterday received a telegram from Bishop-elect Sumner in response to the notification of his election by the dio cese of Oregon in which he stated that he would withhold . his acceptance or declination until receipt of the official letter formally announcing his elec tion. If Rev. Mr. Sumner, who- Is not yet 40 years old, accepts the election he will be the youngest bishop the Episco pal Church has ever hadjn Oregon. The remuneration is $3000 a, year salary. $500 in traveling expenses and the use of Bishopcroft, the former residence of the late Bishop Scadding, S74 Elm street. Portland Heights.

Citea Statute Which Permits Penalizing; of Parents. Those Under 15 Amenable. "According to the laws of the state. attendance at school Is a matter of 'must' with nearly all pupils," said County Superintendent of Schools Arm strong yesterday. "The law author izes the appointment of a truant off! cer, the infliction of fines on parents who fall to comply with its provision, and the like. "However, a truant officer Is not needed in rural schools, in my opinion. I gave this work my personal atten tion last year, and will see to it again this year." Mr. Armstrong said that his atti tude toward a pupil who does not at tend school from choice is one of persuasion rather than compulsion, and that he finds it operates splen didly. The compulsory education law reads as follows: As soon as school opens the District Clerk must give to the teacher & copy of his last census report, showing the name and age of every child and the name and address of father or guardian. Every child between and Including the ages of 9 and IS years must attend school regularly during the whole time the school Is in session. The Attorney-General has ruled that this luncludes children when they become and until they reach IB. Teachers are author ized to require excuses from parents, either in person i r by written note, in all cases of absence or tardiness. No excuse shall be accepted except sickness of the pupil or of some member of the pupil's family, which makes attendance impossible. The compulsory law does not apply to eighth-grade graduates or to children who are attending some other school regularly, or to children between fl and 10 years of age if they live more than one and one-half miles f rem scbool; nor to older children If they live more thsn three miles from school by the nearest traveled road. Washington Canvass September 29. OLTMFIA, Wash., Sept. 17 The offi cial canvass of the votes cast in the state primary election, September 8, will take place September 29 in the office of the Secretary of State. The official canvass will decide whether George Turner or William W. Black re ceived the Democratic nomination for United States Senator. Plans and working drawings for the proposed Catholic Church, parish school and archbishop's residence to be erected on the church property, bounded by Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Couch and Davis streets, now are being completed and figures will be invited the first of next week for the construction of the first, unit, the parish school. The Portland architectural firms of White house & Fouilhoux and Jacobberger & Smith are associated in perfecting the designs. Soon after the bids are closed, Octo ber - 5. and the contract Is awarded. actual work of constructing the parish school will begin. The building will be completed probably about next Feb ruary, according to a prediction made yesterday by one of the architects. $250,000 Investment Planned. The probable cost of the parish school has' not 'yet been announced, but Father E. V. O'Hara said yesterday that the group of 'three buildings would cost In the neighborhood of $250,000. After the parish school is finished the church, which by far will be the most ex pensive of three buildings, will De duiii and lastly the archbishop's residence. It will perhaps take years to complete the entire project. The parish school is to be built on the Seventeenth-street side of the prop erty facing Couch street, and providing an entrance from both streets. The church is to be placed on the Eighteenth-street side facing south, while It is proposed to erect the residence on the side facing Davis street. When the church block was pur chased a few months ago officials of the church contemplated construction of a great cathedral covering the en tire premises, but they have concluded that the three-unit plan would be more feasible and satisfactory. Italian Lines to Prevail. An Italian renaissance architecture will prevail in the construction of all three buildings. The exteriors will be of a rough surface, dark red brick, with terra cotta trimming and tile roofs. The parish school will extend two stories above a grade iloor. The lower floor Is to house the manual training and domestic science departments, an auditorium and a social-room for wom en. Five classrooms, a library and offices will be on the middle floor, while the top floor will contain a large social hall for the church, anterooms and a society meeting-room. A cloister will be located between the school and church, with a garden courtyard to be used as a playground for the children. The general plans have been approved by the church officers. The site for the group of Catholic buildings was purchased last May from S. Benson for $160,000. The location Is two blocks west of the St. Mary's Cathedral and six blocks southeast of the 12 lots at Twentieth, Uiisan and Hoyt streets sold by Arch bishop Christie earlier In the year to the School Board for 1142,000. The new Couch School, about to be started will be placed on the former church site. WEATHER N0A!D TO FAIR Heavy Rain Makes Races Doubtful at Central Oregon Event. PRINEVTT.T.K. Or.. Sept. 17. (Spe cial.) The Central Oregon fair opened yesterday under unfavorable conditions caused by heavy rain. The exhibit of farm products is short, but the stock industry 1b well represented, and the racing stables are better than In any recent previous year. If the weather clears the track will be In good con dition for the next two days of the fair. Ruzzi's band, from Portland, has been engaged for the occasion. The school exhibit is of excellent character, but not as heavy as in previous years. A syrup cup and butter dish are con talned within the lid of a new pancake plate. This Is the Time to Get J. 8. STETSON'S TIME UP VESSEL RETIRES PROM PORTLAND STEAMSHIP COMPANY'S RU. Charter Ending Upon Arrival' From Alaska, Craft Will Depart for Los Angeles With Passengers. Her charter to the Portland Steam ship Company having expired on her arrival from Alaskan ports yesterday. the steamer J. 15. Stetson has ceased to be the flagship of that fleet and is scheduled to sail Monday for Los An geles with passengers and cargo. The vessel has been on the Portland-Alaska route since early in the season and having the largest passenger accomo dations, has proved popular with the traveling public. Executives of the Portland Steam ship Company were willing to keep the Stetson on the run for another month, as there are a number of Alaskans who wish to return via Portland, and such an amount of salmon is to come out that she could be operated advan tageously, but revenue demanded by her owners being greater than the com pany estimates her services to be worth at this time, it has been decided to get along with two steamers, the Quinault and Thomas L. Wand. The Wand got out of the river yes terday on her way north and the Quin ault is in those waters. The Quln ault's charter expires September 26. but it is fully expected that she will be retaken and retained on the route for a time, while the Wand will be held in service until January 1. A mooting of officers of the corpora tion is to be called in about a week for general discussion of plans for the last part of the season, as well to to take steps toward organizing for 1915. Un less there is a decided change in senti ment, larger and faster carriers are to be obtained. Northbound business now is not as heavy as during the height of the Beason, but southbound offerings are greater than can be cared for and assurances have been given by north ern buyers and shippers that they will divert all patronage to the Portland line if a schedule Is established next next year that can be depended upon positively. The Stetsoni-returns to the Portland California trade under the banner of the Charles R. McCormick fleet. OHIO AX I?f FROM XEW YORK Last Vessel Arrives From East Via Straits of Magellan.
