MISS MARY CASE TO GIVE RECITAL
OREGOX GUlIi WHO HAS WON SUCCESS IN THE EAST.
At tho request of hr many friends. Miss Mary Case, contralto, will give a. re
cital of vocal music In Parsons Hall, June 10. and the Indications are that it
will be largely attended. She has a sympathetic, natural contralto voice, and
has had the benefit of good training. She has sung with success in eastern cities,
and, being an Oregon girl, her career has been watched here with more than or
dlnary Interest. It Is interesting to know that Miss Case studied with Mrs. Ellen
Klsmanman, of this city, who deserves credit for placing and developing her
pupil's voice. Miss Case also studied in Boston with Gertrude Franklin Sails
bury, and with Rose Stuart, who was a pupil of Marches! and gave her special
training In Mendelssohn's- oratorio, "The Elijah." The Boston Gazette has the
following to say of this favorite singer: "Miss Mary Caee. of Oregon, now a
student In Boston, sang several songs. Miss Case has a manner that wins the
heart at once, a voice of wide range and the poetic and sympathetic interpreta
tion of the true artist." The Fargo Times (N. D.) says: "Miss Case has a deep,
sympathetic voice of charming flexibility and responsive In emotional tone ooor
to the moods of the singer that is winning for her an enviable poritton among the
more ambitious of the young singers. Special mention should be given of her
last number. Korrls' 'Mother Mine,' which brought tears to many eyes. Miss
Case has had the advantage of studying this latter song and others of his oem
positions under the eye of the composer himself, and he was careful to teach "her
his Interpretation."
and planned by one of the Berkeley grad
uates. In a lovely glen all these bright
young women, dressed In Greek costumes,
gave the play, under brilliant sunshine.
The conference terminated on Monday
evening with a song banquet, where wit,
song and repartee kept the whole party
in roars of laughter.
The ever-recurring thought must be
how far-reaching the power and Influence
of these 250 gifted young women, return
ing to their homes and colleges imbued
with earnest Christian purpose and mis
sionary zeaL How much it must and will
mean to this great Pacific Coast in years
to come.
The leaders of the conference Miss
Harriet Taylor. Miss Mary S. Dunn and
Miss Bertha Conde arc noble, capable
women, who have consecrated their won
derful powers to the great works of the
Young Women's Christian Association.
Portland Is fortunate in having a series
of aftermath meetings, led by these wo
men on their Eastern way to other con
ferences. On Sunday morning Miss Taylor will
speak In one of the city churohes, and In
the evening she will speak In Taylor
Street M. E. Church. Miss Dunn will
speak Sunday evening in one of the East
Side churches, and Miss Conde will ad
dress the afternoon meeting at the asso
ciation rooms.

during the World's Fair of that year.
They were then brought to San Francisco
and formed- a part of the Mid-Winter ex
hibit. It is, therefore, doubtless true
that they have been heard by more than
a million people, and many will be pleased
to learn that they have now so fitting a
resting place, where their harmonies will
be enjoyed by successive generations of
students The degree of doctor of
letters was conferred upon Professor Louis
LIsser. For 23 years he has had charge of
the fine musical department of Mills Col
lege, and has been an Inspiration 'In the
musical world. Professor LIsser Is re
markable not only as an artist, but as a
scholar as well The degree of
master of i music was conferred upon Mad
ame Emma Nevada, an alumna of Mills
College. During her recent visit to the
Pacific Coast she gave a concert In tho
new Llsser Hall of the college for the
benefit of her alma mater. Madame Ne
vada has a most charming personality and
is a lovely wife and mother, as well as a
fine artist.
ECHOES OF THE CAPITOLA CONFERENCE
INSPIRING WORK OF THE YOUNG WOMEN'S
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Capltola Conference Is over, and it
seems as If the Portland people hardly
realized what it was at all. Imagine this
beautiful hotel, standing Just beyond the
reach of the waves, and capable of hold
ing 400 guests. Away to the south
stretches the blue line of Monterey Bay;
north the sandy cliffs toward Santa Cruz,
and west the limitless, restless sweep of
the Pacific
Try now to realize 300 women gathered
there, for 10 days, all united in one earnest
purpose. No outsider was there, the busi
ness management being under the care of
one capable young woman, a graduate of
Berkeley College. She was assisted in
dining-room and kitchen by two other
young women, who took charge of all tho
catering and ten Chinese cooks.
At 7:30 A. M. the breakfast bell rings,
and 250 college girls troop into the dining
hall; college caps, pins and colors are
everywhere, the blue and gold of Berke
ley, the cardinal of Stanford, the black
and white of Pomona; vleing with these
are the colors of the Northwest, the lemon
of the University of Oregon, red and white
from Washington and yellow and white
from Idaho. Why are all those bright
young faces gathered together, why all
those other 50 earnest women? They have
come from, far and near to learn the best
methods for the spiritual upbuilding of
young women and the salvation of their
souls.
Such a beehive of workers, no drones at
all! At 8:20 A. M. was the daily confer
ence of the association workers to" re
view the plans and problems for each
day and to implore the direction and
presence of God. Then followed division
meetings of city workers and state work
ers, also model Bible classes, led by D. O.
Shelton, the National leader of the Y. M.
C. A. Bible work, and J. Kennedy, of San
Francisco. At 11 A. M. came the great
mass meeting, with addresses on various
subjects, one day Bible work, another stu
dent work, then missionary and Bible
work, and so on.
Dr. Chapman, of Los Angeles, preached
the first Sunday, and on the following
Tuesday he gave a scholarly sermon on
direct Christian evidence proved by re
cent archaeological researches and discov
eries. Such great themes as "Life Works,"
"The Abundant Life," etc., were reserved
for the evening meetings.
The afternoons were spent in rest and
recreation. Forty or fifty women would
refresh themselves by plunging Into the
ocean, others went sailing on the sea.

Chicago Tribune.
That there is strong opposition among
the women of the United States to the
j granting of suffrage to women is appar
I ent from the fact that state organizations
opposed to the further extension of the
suffrage to women exist iff the states of
Massachusetts. New York. Iilllnols, Ore
gon, Iowa, Rhode Island and Washing
ton, and that these actively oppose the
efforts of the suffragists at each session
of the State Legislatures. The Massa
chusetts association publishes a bulletin
called the Rcmonstrancg. which is said
to express the views of women in Massa
chusetts, New York. Illinois, Iowa. Ore
gon. Washington. California, South Da
kota and other states who believe that
the great majority of their sex do not
want The ballot, .and that to force It upon
J them would not only be an injustice to

for good and imperii the community. To
Illustrate the weakness of the woman
suffrage movement, the Remonstrance
gives, with evident satisfaction, the fol
lowing interesting statement, of the re
cent defeats of woman suffrage:
In 1S89 Proposed woman suffrage
amendments to state constitution were
; defeated in the Legislatures of Iowa,
j Massachusetts. Nevada. Missouri and'
Washington. School suffrage bills were
rcjecttd In Arkansas and New Mexico
and killed in California by the pocket t
j veto of the .Governor. Municipal suffrage
bills were defeated in Connecticut and
Massachusetts, and license suffrage buis
in Illinois and Massachusetts. Taxpay-
1 ing suffrage bills failed in Illinois and I
! Maine, a Presidential suffrage bill in
Illinois, and bills granting women full
suffrage in Arizona. Oklahoma and West
Virginia.
In 1900 Proposed ' Woman suffrage
amendments to state constitutions were
rejected by the Legislatures of Iowa and
Ohio, and defeated at the polls in Oregon.-
A municipal suflrage bill was, de
feated In Massachusetts and a woman
taxpayers municipal suffrage bill in Ver
mont. In 1901, In Alabama the Constitutional
Convention, after adopting a proposition
to admit woman taxpayers to the fran
chise in municipal elections called for the
purpose of Issuing bonds or incurring
debt, reconsidered its action and rejected
the proposition.

Fair Play?" which. If not written by
George H. Howell, president of the Port
land Typographical Union, must have been
dictated by him. The article referred to
attacks the action taken by the Noi.-Par-thtin
Advisory AsFociatlon at an extra
mecUng held last Thursday night In In
dorsing James E. Godfrey for State
Printer, and also attacks me as presid
ing officer for alleged arbitrary ruling.
The article Is misleading from the Jact
that Its Inference are blapod and state
ments made unfounded. The extra ses
sion wau called for the purpose of. recon
sidering the former action of the associa
tion on Sunday, May 25, In which the
question arose of Indorsing Mr. Godfrey
for State Printer on account of his good
record and long standing as a union man.
Mr. Godfrey was not Indorsed, as a state
ment was made that Mr. Whitney also
was a member of the Typographical
Union. Upon these grounds It was thought
advisable to leave the matter open. Sub
sequently, the facts became known that
Mr. "Wnltney had Joined the union after
he had received the nomination for State
Printer at the Republican convention,
though for years he had opposed any at
tempt to organize a typographical union
In his city, because he was an employer
and publisher and proprietor of the Al
bany Herald. From these facts arose the
call for another session of the associa
tion to reconsider.
At the extra session these facts were
clearly shown, and Mr. Howell, who la
now a member of the Republican County
Central Committee and also a member of
the managing board, appeared at the
meeting with the declared IntcnUon of de
feating tho purpose herein related. The
question was thoroughly threshed out,
and It was clearlj shown to a majority of
thoso present that Mr. "Whitney had
Joined the union since his nomination, for
no other reason than to secure tho sup
port of organized labor: that formerly he
had opposed organized labor, and had had
i the opportunity to Join a union in the past.
For four jours the matter was discussed
upon Its merits, a vote was taken, which
resulted in Mr. Godfrey's indorsement by
a vote of 12 td 9. Several who were pres
ent were not allowed to vote, for the rea
son that they had not paid their dues;
and in a prior meeting, with a large at
tendance, the association Itself declared
by a unanimous vote that a member was
not In good standing and had no vote un
less his dues had been Tcept up. Upon this
declaration I made a ruling in accordance
with the will of the association, and I held
that the decision was not "arbitrary," as
is alleged.
Mr. Howell was the leading factor In
Mr. Godfrey's opposition, and his evory
action was slgnlflcant, as that of a strong
partisan, and not a non-partisan, as the
primary object of the association was
meant to carry out.
Furthermore, several Democrats voted
with Mr. Howell, and several Republicans
voted against him. wh.ich clearly proved
that the citizens movement did not enter
into the affair at all, as is claimed. It
was simply a cae of unionism, whether
or not Mr. Godfrey, who had been a con
sistent and true union man for 1C years
and cntlUed to the support of organized
labor, or whether Mr. Whitney, who has
been a union man but two weeks and since
he was nominated for office, and who has
heretofore opposed unionism, should re
ceive the same consideration. Again, at
this meeting Mr. Jackson, an honorary
member of the Street-Car Men's Union,
who had been discharged from the serv
ice of the company on account of the
prominent part he had taken in unionism,
was also indorsed unanimously for Con
stable on tho West Side, as against John
Donnelly, who had also Joined a union
since he had become an aspirant for of
fice. This Is a true history of- the matter,
and the result was satisfactory to the ma
jority. In spite of anything Mr. Howell
or others may say, and those who have
been In regular attendance at the as
sociation will bear me out in the state
ment. It is not Just nor right that a candidate
for office who Is a union man of two
weeks' standing should have the same
consideration by union labor as the other
candidate for tho same office who Is a
Ume-trled, true and consistent union man
of 16 years standing. The notice should
not be published to future aspirants for
office that after the nomination will be
time enough to break Into a union to get
the support of organized labor. Wc ob
ject to union voters being made fools of
In this manner, and that Is the position of
all union men belonging to the Non
Partisan Advisory Association.

Different Mode of Expression
Idiomatic Ensllith.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The Atlanta Journal having remarked
casually that "It begins to look like the
Southern Securities Company is on tho
way," certain Eastern newspapers refer
to this mode of expression as character
istic of the South, and to declare that
nearly every part of the country has its
peculiarities of speech.
In Pittsburg, they say. the same Idea
would be expressed In this fashion: ."It
commences to look as though the South
ern SecuriUcs Company wants on"; in
Tucson, "It shorely looks like the South

us"; In Denver, "The Southern Secur

break the Jam pretty soon": in Boston.
"From present Indications, It is apparent
to the casual observer that the Southern
Securities Company Is under the impres
sion that within a short period it will
have accomplished tho results for which
Its directors have been laboring diligent
ly during many months," and In Hyannls
port, Mass., " 'Pears like th Southern Se

All of which suggests that, even within
the limits of Chicago, thought and speech
do not move uniformly in the same paral-

Outlying and suburban modes of ex

SALEM, Or.. May 30. (To tho Editor.)
Has The Oregonian, in a recent editorial
paragraph concerning the position taken
by Bishop Potter at Yale University, that
Jesus did not denounce wealth any more
than he Old poverty, given us a true ex
position of the parable of Dives and
Lazarus? The Oregonian makes out that
Jesus sent Lazarus to Heaven because
he was poor. Then why should he make
Lazarus recline on the bosom of a rich
man Abraham? Jesus also said the rich
man was culpable for not believing Moses,
another rich man. Was not the sin of
Dives worldllness while having the good
thlng3 of the world, and was not the ex
cellence of Lazarus not poverty but true
riches toward God In the presence of pov
erty? The young man who was directed to sell
all he had to give to the poor, mada
wealth an obstacle to following Jesus. It
might be something else with another
person. Indeed, Jesus gave different kinds
of sacrifice to different persons, but they
all led to self-surrender to himself. It
may bo difficult for God to save money
grubs, but our God would not be God if
he could do only easy things. Thousands
blinded and contracted by poverty I am
willing to see banished from us as I
would seo pestilence removed.
