Preparatory to leaving for a two
years' survey of trade conditions, port
facilities and commercial opportunities
for the United States in Asia, Paul Page
"Whitham is visiting business men in
the principal cities of the Coast and
yesterday he devoted to conferences
with representatives of firms In Port
land that are interested in the Oriental
Ifield.
Mr. "Whltham goes from the United
Etates as a special commissioner from
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce of the United States.
"I am not prepared to discuss at any
length the work that I am going into
at the present time," said Mr. Whitham
yesterday. "The time for me to talk
will be when I can talk with author
ity, when I return In 1919, after having
made a survey of the continent of Asia
from Vladivostok to Southern India.
"The United States seems to me to
stand at this time much in the position
of a strong, intelligent and capable
young man who has just been offered
the opportunity of a vastly bigger Job
than he ever undertook before and
for which he has never actually trained
himself. It is up to him to begin study
ing and fitting himself to hold down
the new Job and that is what Uncle
Earn Is doing right now in his surveys
and studies of the big new trade dis
tricts which are to be opened particu
larly to him in Asia In the coming
years.
"Not only is there the problem of
studying the market, but the necessity
of developing our own port and dis
tribution facilities so that we will be
qualified fully to take advantage of
the Oriental opportunities aa they
open."
Mr. VSTiitham left last night for Spo
kane and will sail from British Colum
bia for Yokahama in about two weeks.
He was a guest of the members' coun
cil of the Chamber at luncheon yester
day and gave a brief talk. Prior to
his going into the Government service
Mr. Whitham was designing and con
sulting engineer In the development
of the Port of Seattle and was the
man who designed and superintended
the building of the big bulk grain
elevators in Seattle.

AD AVI L L BE SENTENCED TODAY.
Kmll II. Spranger Denies Responsibility
for Murder of Henry Melster, for
Which He Was Indicted.
Glen Wright, associated with Ray D.
Gould In the theft of automobiles,
pleaded guilty to two counts of lar
ceny before Presiding Judge Ganten
bein yesterday. Sentence was postponed
until today. Deputy District Attorney
Collier asking that Wright not be sen
tenced until after Gould, who pleaded
guilty last week.
Gould will appear for sentence to
day. The state awaits the result of the
examination of County Physician -McKay,
who was asked to Investigate the
plea of tuberculosis entered by Gould
to enable him to escape a pentitentlary
sentence.
Emil H. Spranger pleaded not guilty
yesterday to the charge of murdering
Henry Meister, of which he is accused
in an indictment returned by the grand
Jury last week.
Barney Glldez and Lillle Bleloh
pleaded not guilty to a statutory
charge and trial was set for Wednes
day, June 6. This was the nearest
date possible on the criminal calendar.
Gildez may have to stay In Jail until
trial, as he is unable to furnish bail.
The woman was released on her own
recognizance yesterday. She Is a mar
ried woman.
The long wait often necessary before
criminal cases may be tried is causing
some criticism of the presiding judge
system now in effect in the Circuit
Court, but it is expected the delay will
be done away with eventually. In the
case of Gildez, the prisoner will have
to stay in jail more than two months
awaiting trial, at which there is a pos
sibility he may be found not guilty.

WHISKY IMPORTED AS OIL
Consignments Billed Falsely, but No
Arrests Have Been Made Yet.
Under billing as cylinder and motor

In all, were seized by deputies of the

ice upon the arrival of the llquof In
this city last Thursday and Friday.
Anticipating the illicit consignment.
"VTOD know the old saying about "mln-
JL lsters' sons and deacons' daugh
ters." It seems that It Is all wrong.
One-twelfth of all the men whose
names appear In "Who's Who" are sons
of clergymen. They are nearly twice
the number of sons of lawyers and
physicians combined.
Four Presidents were softs of minis
ters: Buchanan, Arthur. Cleveland and
Wilson. Three poets: Holmes, Lowell
ana braerson. Two historians: Ban
croft and Parkman. Such distinguished
names in various fields as Henry Clay,
Agasslz, Morse and Henry James.
Sometimes the preachers are founders
of marvelous lines of descent. Among
the descendants of Jonathan Edwards
were: One Vice-President, three Sena
tors, 30 judges. 60 authors. 12 coNege
presidents, etc, and not one of the
number traced, 1394, was ever convicted
of a crime.
Then there is the. immortal Field
family, embracing Cyrus W., who laid
the first Atlantic cable; David Dudley,
the renowned lawyer, and Stephen J.
the United States Supreme Court Jus
tice.
And equally renowned is the Beecher
family, which includes Henry Ward
Beecher and Mrs. Stowe, author of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." The' father was
a preacher.
Clergymen Come From the Country.
That a single class, numbering one
out of 600 of the population (not
counting celibate priests), should be
come parents of one-twelfth of the
country's distinguished men is so r
markable that it is worth trying to
account for. Perhaps we can learn
something.
- Clergymen come largely from the
country. I have just been looking
over the yearbook of a certain de
nomination that lists its theological
students. I found that only 20 per
cent of these come from large cities.
The great majority were registered
from towns that are so small I never
had heard of them.
They are overwhelmingly from fam
ilies in moderate circumstances.
So extraordinary is it for a minister
to be wealthy that the fact always
deserves a newspaper paragraph.
From the great middle class, from
the class to whom education means
sacrifice, comes the ministry. Allured
by commerce and wealth, because ac
customed to penury, these young men
have been diverted by some definite
Influence to a profession that holds
out no such goals. This Influence, as
their testimony shows, has usually
been their mothers' devotion. We may
account for the high character of our
clerical profession by ' the' careful and
unselfish training of their mothers.
They come from homes that .were. In
the best sense, "good." -
They Live the Simple Life.
The household into which ministers'
sons are born understand what Is
meant by the simple life. A number
of denominations are now trying to
bring the average salary of their
clergy up to $1000 a year. Tens o
thousands of these good men are ex
isting on a stipend of 1800. The salary
of ministers averages but a trifle
above that of unskilled laborers.
In these homes there are no Idle
hands. My neighbor, the Methodist
parson, manfully helps his wife with
the washing every Monday morning.
The affinity between chickens and the
ministry, familiar to newspaper humor.
Is actual in the fact that hens are
its staple supplement to Income and
larder. In such homes children early
learn to be Industrious and helpful.
. Their His Faith.
Two particularly uplifting forces ex
ist in these -noble households. One Is
the presence of ideals of culture. The
minister cannot afford to buy books,
but he cannot afford to do without
them,, so he is often the only man in
the community who has a respectable
library. - His children are accustomed
to the enjoyment of reading. Ha also
has a passionate belief in education,
and although how he manages it only
the good Lord knows, he generally
sends his sons and daughters to col
lege. Young people with such backing
and such background are bound to
make good.
The Ideals of religious life and serv
Ice held by such parents would natur
ally be mentioned in this connection.
as the most potent of all Influences
for good. I would not so class them.
directly. The necessary professional
ism of their fathers activities, with
the petty and often needless detail of
pastoral life, must frequently cause a
revolt in the minds of the open-eyed
children, who contrast his earnestness
with the meanness and unappreclatlve
ness of the people. But I do place as
the most - important factor in the sit
uatlon this, that though the father is
engrossed with parochial concerns, he
is, more than any other father in the
town, at home. The modern pastor is
also more than other men an interested
. student of child psychology. He Is,
therefore, something of an expert, and
he is a practicing parent.
Q, K. IX
The moral seems to be this: If you
want your children to have 60 times as
many chances as other children to be
come noteworthty, live in a small place
on a small income, expose your chil
dren to -books and culture, and give
them your personal study and care.

ness course in the High School. In

college you must finish the classical or

will last four years, and after that you
