BENEFITS OF DRY
REGIME ARE SHOWN
Business Gains and Improve
ment in Social Conditions
Great, Says Mayor.
AUTHORITIES ARE CITED
City Hall Investigation Develops
Prohibition Helps Trade, Pub-
lie Health, Law Observance
and Bank Accounts.
How business in Portland under
prohibition compares with business of
the corresponding months of 1915; how
crime under prohibition compares with
crime before prohibition, and how vice
compares under the two regimes, was
told at the Central Library yesterday
afternoon by "W. H. Warren, secretary
to Mayor Albee. The Mayor's office
has just finished a long- Inquiry into
the effects of prohibition, and a report
embodying the results was read by
Mr. Warren to the Union dry commit
tee. The report, in summary, is as
follows:
Decrease of more than BO per cent
in the cases in Municipal Court (au
thority of JudKo Laneguth).
Remarkable diminution of venereal
diseases, net only in Oregon, but in
Washington and Idaho also (authority
of W. F. Woodward, druggist and
member of the Oregon Social Hygiene
Society, and of Dr. Calvin S. White,
ex-state health officer of Oregon).
From January 1 to the compilation
of the report, a decrease in arrests for
drunkenness and vagrancy of 3595, the
figures being: 1916, 1308; 1915, 4903.
Social Evil Decreases.
Noticeable decrease in social evil,
numbers of underworld inhabitants
having left.
Increase in bank deposits in the state
Xrom January 1 to May 1 of J12. 693,421.
Increase in bank deposits in Port
land, same period, J7.865.709.
Increase in loans and discounts of
Portland banks, same period, $4,905,
126. Increase in bank clearance in Port
land, January 1 to June 1, $10,405,667.
The foregoing financial comparisons
are for corresponding periods of 1916
and 1915.
Slight improvement over 1915 In
wholesale and retail clothing stores
(authority of Bradstreet's).
Improvement in business of five out
of six leading dry goods and depart
.ment stores consulted, and no loss in
'the sixth.
Considerable increase in building per
mits (authority of The Oregonian and
of Bradstreet's).
Grocers' Business Better,
Business 10 per cent better among
about 50 retail grocers consulted.
Business 25 to 50 per cent better
with three of four large jewelry stores
consulted; the fourth said his business
was good, but that he had previously
catered to a wet trade.
Six thousand new automobiles pur
chased in Oregon between January 1
and June 28 as against 6300 for the 12
months of 1915,
No change in rents since January 1
(authority of Realty Association and
of Ladd estate).
Additional paragraphs of the report
dealt with a decrease in poor-farm
residents, the destruction of the busi
ness of "Mrs. Lawrence, who conducts
a home for 'down and outs' in the
country, and who appeared recently
before the Council, and said she would
have to go into some other line of
business, as she had lost most of her
people," and with a statement of Cap
tain Andrews, of the Salvation Army,
who was quoted as declaring that "the
city is more than 90 per cent better
morally now than previously."
Better Meals Purchased. ,
"The workingman's home, where 5
and 10-cent meals could be obtained,
has gone out of business, because men
who have quit drinking are now able
to purchase better .meals," said Mr.
Warren. '
An increase in the number of school
children, reported in June, and a net
increase of 116 in water services (au
thority of Commissioner Daly), were
cited by Mr. Warren as tending to
ehow that Portland's population had
not fallen off.
The Mayor's office also set about as
certaining what became of the saloon
keepers. One hundred and eighty were
followed up, with this result:
Proprietors of soft drink parlors or
restaurants, 88; in other lines of busi
ness, 22; in saloon business elsewhere.
12; left Portland but not in saloon
business elsewhere. 21; retired, 37.

SPUNK' IN JOINING ARMY
Ernest Koppen, Whose Father Is Fighting at Verdun, Barred Alien, Gets
Citizenship Papers and Goes to Front With Oregon Troop.
ssn
LEBANON, Or.. Aug. 27. (Special.)
As a result of the appeal made to
the patriotism of the citizens of this
place, seven young men recently an
swered their country's call. They were
accepted at Camp Withycombe.
Ernest Koppen. a German youth.

A Cavalry, and A. Baker, at whose
home he had been living for the past
year, repaired to the county seat and
secured his first papers. He returned
to Clackamas and was accepted.
Lending great moral support to the
recruiting here is a veteran of the Civil
War, George W. Cruson, who, when he
was less than 16, enlisted in the Twen
ty-fourth Michigan and gave an arm
for his country, and who now says he
would almost give his country for an
arm, that he might go again if needed.
Mrs. G. W. Cruson is one of the
progressive and patriotic women of
Lebanon and was at the train with an
American flag for each boy and ' to
cheer them on their way. her own sons
both being officers in the Coast Artil
lery, Oregon.
Lebanon turned out en masse to wish
the boys Godspeed. Many other re
cruits are expected from this vicinity.
There are many more young men here
who will enlist as soon as they can
adjust their private affairs.

LOVE IS NEED OF
LIFE, SAYS PASTOR
Dr. A. F.' Bishop, of Texas, De
livers Sermon on Things
That Are Worthy.
WORK OF JESUS IS CITED
Congregation of Central Presbyte
rian Church Is Held to Atten
tion by Eloquent Oratory
of Visiting Minister.
Dr. Arthur F. Bishop, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of Austin,
Tex., spoke at the Central Presbyterian
Church at yesterday morning's service.
the theme of his sermon being "Things
That Make Life Worth Living."
The gospel messenger from the
South is an eloquent orator, and the
congregation followed him intently as
he discoursed from the text, "As thou
hast sent me into the world, so also
have I sent them into the world."
"There is food for thought to the
serious minded person," said Dr. Bishop,
"In the question. Is life worth the liv
ing? Shall we get out of it what we
put into it? If we answer the ques
tion satisfactorily. Did Jesus .find life
worth living? we answer the other."
Love Makes Life Worthy.
Jesus came into the world because
he loved men, said Dr. Bishop. The
affection of the Master for his apostles,
for Martha and Mary and Lazarus, was
deep and abiding. Mark how he stood
at the tomb of Lazarus, while crystal
sympathy ran down his face and men
said, 'See how he loved him!' But to
number the individuals that Jesus
loved would be like counting the sands
of the seashore because he loved all
men!" declared Dr. Bishop. "If we
can find someone to love, life will be
worth the living for us. Surely there
is someone whom we can love!"
A certain pessimist. related Dr.
Bishop, complained that he hadn't a
friend in the world, except his faith
ful dog. Whereat his listener laughed
and advised him to "get another dog."
The depth and completeness of Jove's
sacrifice was illustrated by the Inci
dent of a mother's rescue of her child
from a blazing dwelling. She bore the
child to safety, unharmed, but was
herself disfigured for life. Such was
the love that transfigured human souls,
the minister said.
And, although men might be full of
all wisdom, endowed with every talent
and superficial grace of mind and body,
life would be worthless to them with
out love, he declared.
Unseiash Service Advised.
Service of the unselfish sort is still
another of the things that make life
worth living and having, he continued,
citing the incident whereof it Is told
that Christ laved the feet of his disci
ples. "So wrought the Master, In hum
ble self-denying service, girded with
a towel," the congregation were re
minded. Christ s explanation or the
service was quoted. "If I, then, your
Lord and Master, have washed your
feet, ye ougi.' so to wash one an
other's feet." True service and the
Joy thereof make life worth living, he
said.
Dr. Bishop reminded the congrega
tion of the Central Presbyterian
Church that theirs was an opportunity
for great service. "It's inspiring to a
man to come Into a beautiful city, like
your "city of the roses,' " said he, "and
to see a vast population surrounding a
church like this, with a vast oppor
tunity for service."
Those who relegate service to others,
service that Is properly their own, who
procrastinate and avoid, were scored
by the minister, who held that each
man should do no less than his plain
duty in the common cause of helpful
ness. The third purpose of Christ In enter
ing the world was best expressed in
his own words, "I am come that they
might have light, and that they might
have it more abundantly."
"Now, if there is one person in all
this world whom you can influence
and help to a better life, then life Is
worth the living!" was Dr. Bishop's
positive declaration.
