TTIKMORXIXG OH EG ONI AN". TUESDAY. JUlYr 6. 1915. CELEBRATION HELD ION HALLOWED SPOT Meeting in Front of Taylor Street Church Recalls ( Gathering of 1851. JUDGE GEORGE IS ORATOR J. R. Pearl, Also Descendant of Men Who Made Oregon History, Gives Address Spirit of 76 and V '51 That of 1915. A Fourth of July celebration was Tneld Sunday morning in front of the Id Taylor-street Methodist church. Third and Taylor streets. The location fs the spot hallowed not only by the first church service of Portland but oy the first gathering in Portland in side a building to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence. The building then was the new Meth odist church and the orator of the day was Rev. James H. Wilbur, the builder and pastor, and the date was 1851 Just 64 years ago. Testerday the ora tor of the day was Judge M. C. George, whose name is linked with Oregon history and enterprise, an -I J. R. Pearl, whose forefathers , were factors in early Oregon history. On that first occasion, after a begin ning inside, the exercises were con cluded on the outside with a patriotic dinner for the whole town, cooked over open fireplaces and served in the churchyard. I Celebration All Oatalde. : Yesterday the celebration was begun on the outside and ended, perforce, on the outside and there was no dinner cerved on the grounds. The 600 or 600 persona in the congregation, outnum bered the entire population of the Portland "hamlet"' as they called it in 1851. But the spirit was the same the spirit of '76, as piquant in 1851 as it was yesterday, 1915. The same star spangled banner was honored 64 years ago as was honored yesterday, al though in the banner that floated yes terday twinkled 48 stars, while in the stars and stripes that proclaimed the day in 1851 only 31 stars shone forth. California had been admitted only the year before. Yesterday two large flags were stretched across the church front and hundreds of small silk colors were distributed to the open-air congrega tion. The celebration was picturesque 64 years ago. It was fittingly reminiscent and picturesque yesterday. Beys of '51 Men Who Speak. The young men of 1S51 who shot pistols and guns and firecrackers 64 years ago stood in reverential atti tude yesterday and spoke in religious fervor and patriotic enthusiasm of the day. The boys of 1851 were the men of 1915 who spoke yesterday. Yesterday a miniature melodeon did duty as an organ and a big automobile unheard of 64 years ago, was the pul pit: but the singing and the speaking suffered nothing thereby and reached far out over streets and plazas. The first speaker was J. R.- Pearl. In part he said: "I like to meet here on this spot and with these people to help pay the debt of gratitude that we owe to the found ers of the American Republic. God, who created the mountains, the rivers, the plains and all the grandeur of this land, moved the pioneers of the North west to cross the plains under the-most arduous circumstances and to trans form the wilderness into a paradise and to plant the flag -of freedom here. Nothing is gained without sacrifice. Our Republic - has cost the lives of many. Its brave sons fouprht and died to perpetuate it once. Here let us honor them all. Now the spirit of our Revolutionary sires has spread all over tbo world. Triumph of Liberty Heralded. '"Today we celebrate not only Ameri can independence, but the triumph of iaxon civilization, of universal liberty and of Christianity. "Let us be thankful that now we can worship God and serve our country without danger of sacrifice. We pay homage to God and to our noble sires to-day. Let us do it by perpetuating our fathers' faith and by rejoicing that we live under the tree of liberty that they planted in this land. Let us pray for the good day when patriotism shall be our law and our glory." Judge George was introduced as a fa vorite who had honored Oregon by rep resenting it in Congress and on the nench. Among other things he said: "This is indeed a historic spot to me. I landed here over 60 years ago, being brought by my parents. I in tend to live here the rest of my life. Sixty years ago this place was a prime val forest and the only Methodist Church was in the midst of it. Over 40 years ago 1 attended Methodist services here. I cannot say with the old darkey: -I was Methodist born, and Methodist bred; and when I'm gone there'll be a Methodist dead,' but I can say that 1 am Methodist bred. I went to the Methodist school, Santiam Academy, under Professor Woodard, Rev. Isaac Iillon, Rev. Neheraiah Doane and Pro fessor OdelL who afterwards repre sented Oregon in Congress. Then I went to a Methodist university, Wil lamette University. When I was mar ried 1 had a Methodist minister and he did a good Job of it. I was brought up in a Methodist community and 1 know the whole list of the Methodist preachers and the brainy bishops. And I know the good work that they have done. I have been acquainted with their history from Jason Lee down. Thanks KxprcRsed. "I am thankful today for our Nation's natal day; for the good work that has been done in the past. 1 am thankful for the peace that our great Nation enjoys while the nations of Europe are at war. They have reversed the Bible prophecy and have beaten their plow shares into swords. They are divided by racial "histories, languages and Ideals and they never can be really at peace. I cannot but be thankful for our Revolutionary fathers, who amal gamated the 13 colonies into one great unit, with one language, one Govern ment and with one flag for all. "We have no desire to extend our territory, but we want to help keep a free highway on the seas for all na tions. We will occupy the proudest position in the world, that of mediator nation." Miss Harriet Leach sang "The Star . Spangled Banner" and then the old ,' timers and others who joined in the service went away.

The plucky ftprht of the Ger man mine-layer Albatross against four Russian cruisers and what is charged by German naval officers as a Russian violation of Swedish neutrality, claimed public attention here today. According to Swedish and Danish re ports the Albatross while parsing through a dense fog lost sight of the accompanying small cruisers and was attacked by four big ships. She fought desperately but was slow, ly driven toward the Swedish coast and finally entered Swedish maters. The captain ran her aground near Hen viker. The Russians. It is said, continued firing long after the Albatross entered Swedish territory. The Oestegarn light house was hit by Russian shells and the keeper wss compelled to flee. The Albatross was hit about 30 times. Lieutenant Loewenberg and 25 men were killed and many others were wrunded. One shell entered the ship hospital, killing 10 wounded men and fatally wounding a doctor. The Russian cruisers, sfter the action with the Albatross, were engaged by one large warship and several small German cruisers and disappeared, hotly pursued by the Germans. WHITMAN HELD HALF MAD Poet Apotheosized New Civilization and GcMalion of New Iluce. North American Review. When America was still but an in tellectual province of Europe, and mod ern thought was still waiting like the Immigrant at the gates, when American civilization was saturated with that peculiar- Philistinism which In Kng land has since been dubbed "mid-Vic-torian." and when native poets pro cured but a scanty hearing, a voice such as Whitman's was bound to starlla and outrage. He was revar'led as one half mad. divinely or demoniacally, the critics assailed hfm and1 mocked bis "barbaric yawp." the Journals and magazines but rarely granted him ad mittance to their columns. lie was forced to become his own publisher and bookseller. But his glgsntir optimism snd his rooted faith in his fellow-citizen . the real Nation and the ideal Re public, armed him against all assault from without or doubt 'within. . . . Today an all-embracing Socialism would be his goal and message. But Whitman's was a Socialism that was essentially human, social, personal, full of bravery and the compelling Joy of existence Walt Whitman apotheosized not only a new civilization and a people far re moved from al! that lie held to be de crepit and antiquated in feudal Kurope. but also the gestation of a new race. Ills poetry vaunted and proclaimed It in detail, its social organism, its phy sical characteristics, its natural envi ronment, its unity and significance. But his Insistent cry of "love of com rades" rang hollowly upon a land rt'.il suffering from a fratricidal war and burdened with the problem of Its mil lions of 'loerated black brethren. Mis rudeness of diction, his absolute re nouncement of all poetic convention, estranged that section of the public naturally ' susceptible to poetic appeal. To such his poetry seemed to be only uneven lengths of prose piled one upon the other: Ms fervor rang of fanaticism and his themes were uninformed with either a sentimental or a Christian spirit. ... Wslt Whitman was a prophet who. like so msny of his breed, called aloud before his time . had ripened, a poet whoso fruition for America lies dimly In the future. Undismayed, buoyant with fierce conviction and unshskabla faith, ho moved amid the thunder of ruin menacing the Republic and the later Insidious throats of decay, the bard of manhood, the chanter of de mocracy, the laureate of labor. HOME - PACIFIER PROBLEM How to Make Money Go Further Than Its Face Value. Eugene Pier in Boston Globe. "Our grocery bill is larger again this month," ssld pa. glumly. "We have got to cut down expenses." "I'm sure I try." replied ma. In an lnjurc-d tone. "1 try to get along as economically as possible, but we must eat and everything is 'out of sight. Perhaps you can suggest where we can cut down." "Well. I don't know Just where. The children might get along without but ter on their bread when they pile on Jelly the way they do. Butter Is a big item." "Oh. pa. that would be terrible." cried Msry, "1 guess you never tried Just eating breed snd Jelly." "Indeed I have, and thought It was mighty good, too. Why. when I was a boy we made a whole meal off a couple of thick slices of bread spread with molasses, and no butter, either. I could eat a piece now If I had It." "If you would buy things In the city and oring them home you could prob ably save money." suggested ma. "Perhaps I could, but, unfortunately, my time is pretty well taken up earn ing what Is respectfuly called a salary. The best thing we can do is to move out where we csn raise hens and vege tables. We can't keep on living here If prices keep going up." "Why don't you ask for a raise T suggested ma, hopefully. "Lots of good It would do. Just now the company Is retrenching and Is more likely to cut salaries than to in crease them." "The Idea." said mi, Indignantly. "The trouble with you Is you're afraid to ask. 1 bet I'd talk up to them. I'd Just tell them I couldn't keep a family of six on such a small salary and that I had to have more money." "They should worry." replied pa, grimly. "I don't know that they are responsible for my having a wife and four children. Of course. If I don't want to s toy I ran quit" "They would never let you quit. They couldn't get along without you. Don't you do all the work, while Mr. Smith draws the big salary? He hss a motor car and they go everywhere," said ma. waxing Indignant "You compliment me. I'm sure." re plied ps. "but you're not Just wise to the situation. It would be very grati fying to think that 1 was so Important, but. unfortunately. I am very well aware that there are several men per fectly willing to stsjp In If I step out No man is so important that the world couldn't get along without him. If I should quit it would causa some tem porary Inconvenience, but the sun. moon and stars would continue their dsily routine and the company would still do business at the old stand." 'l think they're Just horrid, anyway, and I'd like to tell them so. "Please don't. It might cause the whole b-jard of directors to lose sleep and they sre strongly averse to los ing anything." "There's the order man." said ma. "Maggie, don't forget to order five pounds of the best butter." RUSSIANS LEAVE POSITIONS Throe Thousand Prisoners Are Taken by Austro-Germans. BERLIN. July 5.
