THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1917 r . (Number 1) "DAD" INS PRAISE Speaker Tells of Origin of , Fathers' Day" Movement. PRISON WORK EXPLAINED Kirs'. It. W. Owen Speaks at Sunny- elds Methodist Episcopal Church on "Lioto Never Falls," Relat- j lug labors In Penitentiaries, i Mrs. I W. Owen, president of the Fathers' Day National Association, oc cupied the pulpit at the Sunnyside Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday morning; and delivered a lecture on "Love Never Falls," In place of the usual sermon. Mrs. Owen prefaced her lecture with . short history of the Fathers' day movement. "This movement, now Nation-wide," said the speaker, "was or ganized In the little town of Irving, Or., a bit over a year ago. Previously, the entire Nation had celebrated a Mothers' day, a Children's day, a Flag day in fact, every kind of a day but a Fathers' day. After all. daa is the head of the family the backbone of It all. Mother darns the socks, but It was dad who bought them in the first place. And so now we have our Fath ers' day, to be celebrated on the second Sunday In May of each year the same time as Mothers' day." Many Prisons Visited. In her lecture on "Love Never Falls" Mrs. Owens spoke chiefly of her ex perience as a public speaker for the last il years, during which time she has spoken In every penitentiary in the United States. "Several years ago," she said, "I addressed an audience of 5000 persons in New York City the garment work ers. After my talk a white-haired old man and his wife came up to me and told me If I ever had occasion to visit Binghamton, N. Y.. that they would like to have me stay at their home. A short time later I did come to Blng hamton. and called upon my new friends. "On the evening of the same day they told me of a great sadness that had come over their lives. Their son and his wife were in the penitentiary at Trenton, N. J. It seems that the boy had ruined his health while working as bookkeeper In his father's chair fac tory in New York, so the doctor or dered him to work In the open air for a year. He moved to Trenton, where he obtained work as a community gar dener. His wife, a bright-eyed girl of 19, went bravely with him, and obtained work as a housemaid. Silverware Is Taken. "Then trouble came. The wife broke the shade of a parlor lamp, and the mistress of the house refused to pay her her first month's wages- She would not pay the gardener, either. So, In a fit of anger, the boy declared that if she took his wages be would take something of hers. He did; he took a piece of silverware from the table. The silver trinket was f ound . in his wife's suitcase; she and he went to the penitentiary for a year. "When I heard that tale I put on my hat and left the same night for Tren ton. There I interviewed George O. Osbourne. warden of the prison. He said that the boy and the girl ought never to have been sent there; he The Partnership consists of the Public, the Employes and the Investors. The Puhlic grants the Right to Serve and expects Good and Adequate Service at Reasonable Rates. The Employes provide the essential Human Element in the Service and expect Fair Wages and Fair Work ing Conditions. The Investors supply the Money necessary to pro vide the Plant to keep pace with the Development of the Public Needs and expect Security for and a Rea sonable Return upon the Money honestly invested in the Public Service.

Portland Railway Light & helped me In every possible way. He told me to see the Governor, which I did. The Governor, a tall, thoughtful, great-hearted man, assured me that if I obtained a petition asking for the re lease of the pair he would pardon them. I obtained the release; the hoy and girl were pardoned. The man who was then Governor of New Jersey Is now Presi dent of the United States." Mrs. Owen spoke also of a girl at San Francisco who was sentenced to a year at San Quentin for forging a check for 5 with which to buy school books. Charles N. Crittendon, the great reform expert, with Mrs. Owen, ob tained the release of this girl, and sent her to New York, where she Is now the head of a great religious movement. Mrs. Owen spoke last night at the Second Friends' Church, delivering the same lecture. BATTLE LINES ARE DRAWN Rev. W. Ij. Airheart Discusses in Sermon Pope's Peace Proposal. Rev. Walter Lee Airheart, assistant pastor of the First Methodist Church, preached yesterday morning on "What Should Be Our Response to the Pope's Peace Proposal?" "The German people," said Mr. Air heart, "under the leadership of the Prussian autocracy, have been con verted Into a great military machine. By their own greatest teacher they have persistently been told, 'You must love war more than peace, and a long war better than a short one.' In their cupidity they have been led on by the promise of world dominion through the spread of German kultur. "The Prussian point of view has been most clearly stated by Professor Las Ban In 'Das Kultur Ideal und der Krieg.' 'Civilization,' says -Professor Lassan, leads to concord, but civilization Is not culture. Between different forms of culture there can only be hatred and struggle. To ask for a paciflo devel opment of culture Is to ask for the Im possible, to reverse the o'rder of nature, to put a false Ideal in place of a real morality.' "On these lines the battle is drawn. The two contending principles cannot exist side by side In the same world. It Is a fight to the death. Civilization has only been advanced by war inso far as the fight has been for its pres ervation. We have received in our civ ilization inestimable blessings and privileges, and these are held In trust for future generations. We dare not allow these to be wrested from our hands until we shall have been utterly overcome. "There are two conditions without which we must not make peace: the freeing the German people from the rule of the Prussian autocracy and the securing of such Indemnities as will, as far as humanly possible, repair the wrongs that have been so wantonly perpetrated. To make peace now would be to leave Prussian militarism in the saddle with the tremendous gain of a group of closely allied peoples spread ing like a black belt across Europe, and would only be an armistice for such a length of time as the militarists of Europe would feel able to again take up the sword. It would be unfaithful ness to the slain and a crime against the future generations. The Kaiser and his Junkers must go." Suicide's Body Sefct Away. ROSEBURG. Or., Aug. 26. (Special.)

This year's exhibit will show not only raffia work and basketry, as in former years, but also the results of the" "doing-thelr-bit" spirit which has inspired the children this Summer. Girls from 8 years old upward have been plying busy little fingers in fash ioning knitted and crocheted squares, which are to be made into bedding for the soldiers In cold Winter quarters. The lesson of economy has been woven Into these gaily colored blocks, for the woolen yarns of which they are made are Just odds and ends, collected by the children themselves, by the playground department and by the chil dren's branch of the Public Library. The results of all this patriotic indus try will be on exhibit in the children's room at the Central Library August JO and 31.

GRIFFITH, DIG LOAN IS TAKEN Canadian Northern Flotation Is Oversubscribed. PORTLAND IS HEAVY BUYER Lumbermens Trust Company Takes $100,000 Outright for Its Pa trons and Refuses Good Profit, as Interest Is High. Subscriptions to the resent Canadian Northern short-term loan, guaranteed by the Canadian government, greatly exceeded the $10,000,000 allotment, every Item having been sold on the opening day. This is the advice Just received here by the Lumbermens Trust Company, through which the Portland apportion ment of the loan was handled. In addition to $100,000 bought out right by this company for its patrons, several additional blocks of substantial size were taken by Portland Investors. But until the oversubscription and the apportionment that will have to be made among the subscribers are de termined It will not be known how much of the issue will come to Port land. The Lumbermens Trust Company was offered a substantial profit for Its $100,000 subscription but declined. These notes, which are to run for one year, dated September 1, bear inter est at 6 per cent, but were sold to the publlo at 99.05, which places them n a 7 per cent income basis. An unusual stipulation wma the agreement of the Canadian Northern Railroad to pay the normal United States Income tax up to 2 per cent, where exemption la not claimed by the holder. These notes are a direct obligation of the Canadian Northern Railroad and are secured by the pledge of $15,333,334 Canadian Northern general mortgage 4 per cent bonds, due September 1, 1934. The pledged bonds, both as to principal and interest, are unconditionally guar anteed by the Dominion of Canada, whch owns 40 per cent of the $100,000, 000 capital stock of the railway com pany. There la now pending In the Domin ion Parliament legislation providing for the acquisition by the government of the remaining 60 per cent of the shares. The purpose of the current loan is to refund $10,000,000 of $11,500,000 notes maturing September 1, the company having ready cash to meet $1,600,000. The terms under which this loan went to the market are of peculiar signifi cance at this time, as they doubtless will gauge the terms of all other secur ities subject to taxation sold In this country during the war or during the period following the war through which war taxes remain in effect. Judging from the rates secured on these notes it Is probable that American investors will demand at least 7 per cent on all future tax-bearing securi ties .This, with the tax requirements, will cut the next yield down to 1 or 4 per cent. At the same time It will permit mu nicipal bonds and other tax-exempt se curities to go to the Investor at a cor respondingly low rate. Herring Run Profitable. TOLEDO, Or, Aug.
