10 THE SUNDAY OREGOXtAN, PORTLAND, JUKE 1, 1902. GREAT DAY FOR WOODMEN MONUMEVTS TO DB UNVEILED AXD GRAVES DECORATED TODAY. Parade to Cone Fir Cemetery Five Thousand Member of Order to Be in Line. The Woodmen of the World are pre paring to observe their Decoration day today on an extensive scale. One of the features of this order. In addition to others usually promulgated by m societies of its class, is the erection of "a monu ment over the grave of each deceased member, and the unveiling of all Monu ments erected during the previous year, on the Sunday nearest the 6th of June, Which is the anniversary of the order. June 1 was chosen this year because of other arrangements and events which dif ferent camps of the order In thU city have programmed for the near future. In addition to the unveiling of monuments erected during the current year, the graves of all deceased members are an nuallj' decorated at this time. It is the pride of the Woodmen of the World that no member of the order can lie In an un marked grive. Three of its monuments " "TT' ' MVi'yJi,ViV'J'''ru'i'"T"7V'ii'' 'irMMrl J. C. Jameson, Grand Marshal. have been erected over Woodmen soldier graves In Manila, and one is said to be the first monument erected in Dawson City cemetery. These same features also prevail with the Women of Woodcraft, which is the ladies' auxiliary of the Woodmen of the World. There are 17 cimps and circles, or local lodges of the two orders in this cltj with a. combined membership of over 5000. It Is anticipated that nearly the entire mem bership of Portland will turn out today to participate in these services. The exercises today will consist of a parade to Lone Fir cemetery. This will be by the Woodmen of the World only. At the cemetery it will be joined by the Women of Woodcraft, and together the procession will advance to the place se lected for the exercises. Here, on a raised platform, the beautiful ritualistic services of the two orders In unveiling of monuments will take place. Imme diately in Tront of the platform will be assembled a. brass band, which will dis course music appropriate to Jhe place and occasion. Next to them will be the guards of the Women of Woodcraft, and outside of these will be stationed the several Portland companies of the uni form rank of the order. Back of these the membership and public generally will WHY HE IS POrULAR. Here is Chamberlain's "pull" In a nutshell, and the whole secret of It: He la Prosecuting Attorney and will be lntll next January if he is elected, and j two years more If he Is beaten. What lawbreaker dares go against him? His power to punish or to render Immune from punishment the vicious and crim inal classes of the "North End" Is un limited. They are all going to vote for Chamberlain for Governor. They muit. If they fail to contribute their money and influence and every possible effort to elect him Governor, they expect to hear from him. Chamberlain alone can put them out of business, and they know It full well. Add to this that he Is reinforced by the entire force of the police, and It is plain to the classes on the "fringe" that they could not exist for a moment if they do not toe the mark. No wonder Chamberlain Is pop ular In the "North End." take their places. In addition to the rit ualistic ervlces which will be rendered by ffpeclnlly selected teams picked from all camps and circles in the city, there will be singing by the Woodmen quartet, under direction of Neighbor J. Adrian Ep ping, and an address by J. E. Werlein. The graves of all members of the order will be decorated early. In the day, by special committees, wnich will visit all cemeteries for that purpose. This com mittee will leave W. O. W. Hall at the corner of Tenth and Washington streets at 9 o'clock today, and the general com mittee earnestly desires all bringing flow ers to have them at the. above place by that hour. The parade will bo officered by J. E. Jameson as grand marshal, and W. T. Bird (No. 65), I. S. Daue (No. 77), R. G. Funk (No. ST), Herman Schade (No. 107), P. Lollick (No. 140), W. C.

Two brass bands have been engaged for the march. A platoon of police, under Captain J. T. Moore, will head the parade. The order of procession and formation of parade Is as follows: Grand marshal and aides will lead, fol lowed by the band, and the variou camps will fall Uv In the order name I.

In the Senate Mr. Morgan said: I voted for the Treaty- of Paris, as It came from the hands of the negotiators, without amendment or explanation, and 1 voted against all resolutions that at tempted to attach conditions to that treaty, believing that If such conditions were proper to be attached to its execu tion, the treaty should not be ratified. The question I ask myself is forced up on me by the attitude of eome of my fellow Democrats, who charge that the administrative history of the Philippines has been nothing but evil and is due to tho policy which is called "expansion," as a natural If not a necessary result, and that the vote for ratification of the Treaty of Paris carried with it these in evitable consequences. It was at this point that the line of sepaartion was established when the treaty was ratified, which today is the line that separates the friends of the treaty from Its opponents. The opponents of the treaty reproach its friends for having supported It, while they don't pro pose to repeal any of ifcs provisions. They place the whole question in the shape of a National curse that to irrevocable, when they could get rid of all the alleged evils by repealing the parts of the treaty that relate to the Philippines. Of this they seem tc-be afraid. They don't offer to repeal or abrogate the treaty. I excuse these who now see a fatal pol icy in that cession, and thought they saw It then, from ill accusations of witnesses on that occasion, and I stni excuse them for not trying to re peal that cession, when we know that the SrCCESS OF SUCH AX EFFORT WOULD THROW THE PEOPLE OF THESE ISLANDS BACK IATO THE ARMS OF SPAIV, WHOSE TVUAXXIES HAVF MADE THE3I ITS UNFORGIV ING ENEMIES, AXD WOULD HAVE DISHONORED THE POLICY OX WHICH THAT AVAR WAS DECLARED. To have crowned such a war, waged for such generous purposes, with such a jesult, would have dismayed stronger hearts than those even that beat In the bosoms of my Democratic colleagues. Referring to the Rawlins substitute to commit the Government to ultimately release the islands, he said: What would bo thought of me. as a Senator, if I should copy the language of the pledge that Is in this substitute In a joint resolution, to provide for the future Independence of Alabama, that is already sovereign and is in full exercise ot au tonomous government? Who would rise here and assert that such a measure was within the delegated powers of Congress? If I should keep my Fiat In the Senate after such an effort, I should have no hope of remaining in the Democratic party as a respectable member. I MUST DECLARE 3IY CONVICTIOX THATWE SHOULD HAVE REVERSED THE MOST SACRED AXD HOLY PRIN CIPLE IX OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERN MENT AND THE REAL GLORY OF OUR INDEPENDENCE IF 1VE HAD ABANDONED DEWEY'S CONQUEST OF MANILA WITHOUT SECURING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY TO THE ISL ANDS OF THE ARCHIPELAGO. I MUST ON CONSCIENCE FURTHER DECLARE UNTIL FREEDOM OF HE LIGION IS ESTABLISHED IX THE ISLAND OF MINDANAO AND THE SULU ARCHIPELAGO, IT WILL DIS GRACE THE IN1TED STATES THRODCH ALL THE YET UNWRIT TEN RECORDS OF HISTORY IF WE WITHDRAW OUR SOVEREIGNTY FROM THOSE ISLANDS. It would be a terrible reflection on the HOW BR0.5TR0NG DID J Republicans of the American type, and to the followers of Thomas Jefferson, in pollltlcal belief, that the United States should be In the occupancy of a -country consecrated to religious intolerance, and after it had admitted tc such a country a day's sunshine of the freedom of relig ion. It should turn that country back to a sovereign power that would Instantly 'put out that light and- remand the people to the fetters of an established church. If, for this, I must plead my excuses to my Democratic brethren for Insisting that this cardinal principle- must be per manent In the Philippines'. If my vote for the treaty of Paris prove to be my death as a Democrat,, my tomb will not be dishonored if It has the in scription. "The freedom of reHgton," which Thomas Jefferson wrote for hts own 'tomb as tho most cherished work o his great career? Whatever else may or may not happen to the Philippines, we have dedicated those Islands to the freedom of religion; we have unshackled them from the do minion of an established church, and no power will ever x!st that can undo our work or remand them to that servitude through tho agencies of political or mili tary power. I cannot rtgret a vote in the Sennte of the United States, which God has blessed with such impriebable good. Much has been alleged that Im putes to the Government a purpose to enrich Its favorites at the expense of the people of the Philippine archipelago. I feel that simple justice requires me to express my dlesent to that statement. It is not sustained by the- facts. On the con trary, thore Is a feeling of distrust to ward men of enterprise and capital that is calculated to injure the Islands by keeping the public lands unoccupied and by keeping out of the world's commerce the productions that would make Its Isl anders prosperous and contented. The Islands were full of Indians, as our country was when Washington surren dered his commission at Annapolis. And it would be quite as Just to say that the Constitution of the United States was a barbarous edict because It provided for the government of the Indian tribes through regulations of commerce by acts of Congress as to contend that the pur pose of tile Government was .robbery In assuming sovereignty rights over the vari ous tribes in the Philippines; IX' OUR DEALINGS WITH THE PHILIPPLNE ISLANDS. THERE "WAS NEVER A MOMENT OF TI3IE WHEN WE COULD HAVE HALTED OR COULD HAVE REVERSED OUR MOVEMENTS WITHOUT VIOLATING THE INSTINCTS OF OUR RACE AND THE DUTY OF OUR GOVERXMENT. We are discreetly silent when people In mobs Inflict summary Justice on out laws, and should be discreetly careful In our investigation, but we declaim against the men we send out to confront outlaws and to punish them for their crimes. I DOX'T BELIEVE THAT ANY AMERICAN' OFFICER HAS MALICI OUSLY INFLICTED HARM OX AXY BODY OF FILIPINOS OR ON ANY PERSON, EITHER BY ORDERS GIVEN TO HIS SUBORDINATES OR BY THE SILENT APPROVAL OF THEIR .MIS CONDUCT. IF OUTLAWS HAVE SUF FERED, IT IS BECAUSE THEY DEFY THE LAWS, HUMAN AND DIVINE, AND WREAK THEIR VENGEANCE AND SATISFY THEIR MALICE, CU PIDITY OR LUSTS UPON THE INNO CENT AXD DEFEXSELESS. It Is very difficult io restrain the sol diers or tho people to the precise methods of legal procedure when they are forced to free the country from men who are voluntary outlaws. But what excuse can possibly be found In the conduct of the Army for the refusal of Congress to give proper government to the Philippine Islands? We must either goyern them or abandon them, and the more the Army may have abused these people the higher is the duty of providing for them a better civil government. side, over Burnslde bridge to Grand ave nue, south on Grand avenue to East Stark, east on East Stark to Lone Fir cemetery, where their ranks will be joined by the Women of Woodcraft; thence to tho square In the center of tho cemetery, where the unveiling ceremonies will take place.

Excursion to Seaside Next Snndny. An enjoyable outing by train to the edge of the Pacific Ocean is planned for Sunday, June S, when Arbutus Circle, No. 273, of the Women of Woodcraft, will give an excursion to Seaside. Cars will leave the Terminal Depot at 7:30 o'clock A. M., and the return trip will be made so that the guests can reach Portland early In the evening. There are 200 en ergetic members of the Arbutus Circle who are working hard to make the out ing a success, and thoy 'wish all who are to take part In the excursion to get their tickets as early as possible, the price for which is $1 for the round' trip. Tickets can be procured from Woodard, Clarke & Co., Dabbe & Rebe,"The Bonbonier, Eggert-Young Company; D. M. Averlll & Co., S. G. Skidmore & Co., and others. The tickets will be sold according to the seating capacity of the train, to prevent overcrowding. STRIKE GOES ON SMOOTHLY Union Forces arid Employers Sliotv No Slf?n of Yielding?. The strike pursued the even tenor of its way yestorday. The only meeting of union forces was that of the Building Trades Council in the evening. Tho delib erations of tho conclave are kept a close secret. The session takes the place of the regular weekly gathering of the council, which would have been Monday night. Tuesday night the Master Build ers will hold confab. So far, the mills, the unions and the bosses are holding out as strongly as ever. A co-operative planing mill project has been started.

CON TAINS MUCH MISINFORMATION". Rebuilding: the Oswego. . Captain Taylor Is rapidly rebuilding his boat Oswego, which was wrecked and sunk down the river at Oak Point some time ago. The boat Is moored at the outer edge of the wharf at tho foot of Belmont street. The Oswego was In a bad condition when first brought from down the river, but her owrfer is slowly and I surely getting her In good condition. Cap J tain Taylor did not haul the Oswego out on the ways.-but has rebuilt her up al ' most from the water line. He will have i almost a new craft when the repairs shall cave been nntsned.

Pamphlet , Reflects His Personal Vlcwa and Dr. Hutchinson's Mr. Parker's Statement. PORTLAND, May SL (To the Editor.) My name having been used In. connection with the statements purporting to come" from the Civic Federation Committee in tho pamphlet recently given -to the public over the signature of Thomas N, Strong, I deem it my duty to the candidates of the several tickets and th'e voters of Multnomah County to state tho extent of my connection with the organization known to the public as the Civic Federa tion Committee, ancl In how far I Indorse Its.allegedr prodtlct, "Information to Vot ers)' I was employed to gather information regarding the various candidates. Not knowing the majority of them; in fact; knowing few of them oven by sight, and not having resided long enough in the city to be conversant with their re spective records, I prepared my notes from written statements furnished to me by Thomas N. Strong and Dr. Woods Hutchinson, short biographical sketches furnished by some of the candidates, the records of -the various courts, the Senate and House journals, clippings from the Morning Oregonian and the Evening Tel egram, and from expressions of personal estimates of the candidates made by Messrs. Strong and Hutchinson. My notes, which are now in the possession of the said Strong and Hutchinson, are made up of the personal opinions of these men by me reduced to writing, and of summaries from the other above-mentioned sources, of all of which I was but the collector and compiler, and for the truth of which I disclaim any responsibil ity; therefore, I disavow any indorsement thereof. These notes were placed by me in 'the possession of Messrs. Strong and Hutchinson. On the evening of May 23, a proof of the article about Judge Cameron, very nearly as it appears in the pamphlet "In formation to Voters," was brought to my attention by a member of the committee. On reading the statement, I saw that it was utterly false a purely malicious at tack. The next day I succeeded In see ing Messrs. Strong and Hutchinson, the former in my office, the latter In his own rooms, In the Falling building, and in formed them that if they were responsible for that article, they no doubt purposed putting forth Articles equally unfair and untrue about other candidates, who wero not their "pets." After a few minutes' conversation with each of them, I became convinced that their purpose from the beginning had been to misrepresent an'd distort fact3 and favor (under the name of a reform organization) some special candidates for "private" reasons best known vto themselves. I then Informed them I would have nothing further to do with them In their "reform movement, and would not be responsible for any of the statements they might put before the public Messrs. Strong and Hutchinson assured me they would put out what mat ter they chose. In the form thoy chose, and on their sole responsibility. At this time the matter was not published. For my time in arranging these notes I was to be paid, but, forsooth, as far as I know, all the coin Is not In esse. I wish to state positively that the per sonal estimates of candidates and rec ommendations to voters embodied in "Information to Voters" Is indorsed sole ly, so far as I know, by the said Strong and Hutchinson. As a sample of the methods 6t misrep resentation, William Rcfd, candidate for Justice of the' Peace, West Side, at one time appeared Co recover money for a man who had lost to one of the gambling houses'. Because of the extent of the losses, the case attracted considerable, attention, and the plaintiff was known as Lauren Wooley. He also appeared at one time to defend one A. De Martineau In a civil suit, and yet this Is made to ap pear as William Reld's defending the gambling element of the city. And so I might go on. But why? The entire out put, except where reference Is made to records and even that may be Is little short of political "rot." Now there has been an. effort on the part of the "reformed purists," whose names I have mentioned in this letter, to shift the responsibility for the matter in "Information to Voters," but. In the light of the real facts, such tactics are scarcely compatible with the dignity of "would-be" reformers, and surely far short of what the public has a reason to expect from men -of their supposed men tality. As for the Civic Federation Committee, which started with sounding trumpet, it "has become as air, thin air" excepting Thomas N. Strong, alias Chic Federa tion Committee, and such others as are willing to avow his statements In his "Information to Voters." As the articles are "Strong," few indorse them. W. E. PARKER, JR.

SURVEY FOR ELECTRIC LINE Road Will Run From Lenta to Grciih-am-Eastern Multnomah Intcreittcd. GRESHAM, Or., May 3L A crew o railroad surveyors have been at work through here the past few days, locat ing grades for a proposed electric line, which will run from Lents, at the end of tho present line. The surveys will follow an easy grade all the way from Lents along the banks of Johnson Creek. A former survey was begun further south ward through Damascus, but it was found to be impracticable, and the route was changed. The line Is the same one announced In The Oregonian several months ago, and will pass through the Eagle Creek country and return to Ore gon City. From here the survey will pass near Powell Valley, and thence to Sandy. Claim Agent J, N. Davis was here yester day and today, securing right of way, and there is no doubt but the road will be built before another year. People here are very axlous for such a con- Sunimer Comfort. Get Ready for Warm Weather. By a complete change In breakfast, at this lime of the year, one can put the bedy right to eo through the summer comfortably. , Leave off meat, potatoes and heavy body heating foods, and use the food that will nourish the body and give reserve force to the brain and, nervous system. A most appetizing and healthful break fast can be made on Grape-Nuts and cream, some fruit and perhaps, two soft boiled eggs this meal wilt furnish full strength and nourishment up to the next and has a remarkable effect on the body during hot weather. Remember the cells of the body you are now building will last you 'into summer, so be sure and build the kind that tend to keep a cool body and level head. One pounp of Grape-Nuts "has more nourishment that the system will ab sorbthan ten pounds of meat, without any of the internal heat of meat that a person wishes to avoid during the warm season; its rich, nutty flavor added to the delicate sweet of the gape sugar makes a dish pleasing to the most critical taste. You receive Grape-Nuts from the gro cer ready to serve, as it has been thor oughly cooked at tho factory by food ex perts, and this saves heat from cooking and time and exertion necessary In pre paring ordinary food. A change from the old breakfast to one like this will refresh and invigorate the system In a surprising manner and per mit you to enjoy the pleasures of sum mer in a cool, comfortable fashlpn when your neighbors, differently fed, "will Txs "hot" . .0 , J4yis&4Aj - "b "" tf vttti Temporary Quarters: Fifth and Yamhill Sts.
