"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

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.)
The body of Anton Lubbrlng, who
committed suicide near Nichols Station
last Wednesday after he had Jumped
from a Southern Pacific train, last
night was sent to Quincy, 111., for
burial. Companions of Lubbrlng said
he had acted queerly for more than an
hour before he leaped from the train
and cut his throat.

Power Company
By FRANKLIN T. 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.
