Elwprthy. Subject of the morning ser- Companlons: It Is so customary to treat exhaustively of the horrors and cruelties of war that It may seem Tash to announce "War as a Civlllzer" as a toast at a gath erlng of men, most of whom earned their right to membership in this order by participation In a war of a magnitude unsurpassed in modern times. Tho thoughtful student of history, however, looks beyond the Incident of the battle and attending carnage to the motive of the' war, and to Its results as affecting the destinies of governments and peoples, and It is in this sense that I attempt to treat the subject In the short time allowed me on this occasion 1 can mention only a few salient points of e'ach period, leaving my hearers to fill In the details from their reading and modes of thought At the beginning of the Christian era, Rome was mistress of the known world, made such by constant war luring its 800 years of existence, and wherever its fight ing legions carried their victorious eagles there went law and order, and protection to life and property, and warlike Rome was a civlllzer. When Rome became effeminate and en ervated through luxury and lost Its light ing qualities, its empire became an easy prey to the hordes of Northorn barbarians, went backward in the scale of civilization, and the gain of centuries was lost While Western Europe was sunk in the gloom and Ignorance of the Dark Ages, Mohammed arose jn the East, and his followers, with the Koran In one hand and the sclmeter in the other, overran the greater half of the old Roman Em pire, and under their sway the arts, ucl enecs and all learning made so great ad vancement that the scholars of Christen dom, desiring a liberal education, had to seek the Moslem universities of Toledo and Salamanca, and warlike Mohammed anism was a great civlllzer. During the middle period the pious zeal of Christendom overflowed In the warlike reliance always pertaining to tho pioneer. The Pilgrims, the Puritans, the cava liers, were all alike expansionists, work ing with the rifle strapped to their backs or ready at hand for all emergencies, and by constant war with the aborigines and tho colonizers of a rival nation came finally to possess the whole land. This constant warfare and expansion brought the colonists to demanding fur ther concessions from the 'parent govern ment, and one year of actual war carried them forward to proclaim their Independ ence, and a new nation was born, and re ceived its baptism In the blood of a seven-year war. Rejecting the dogma that the right to govern comes from above, the new nation took for Its basic principle that "governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the gov erned," nnd again was war a civlllzer. Profiting by the example of America, France awoke from her long sleep, and her down-trodden people banished or be headed kings, nobles and priests, and made way for a man of the people to rule her affairs, and under his leadership he eagles of France came to wave over near ly every capital of Europe, and the up setting of thrones and dynasties so com pletely overthrew the divine right of kings that limited monarchies and constl tlonal governments soon superseded abso lutism in every country but despotic Kus slo, and again was war a civlllzer. By war, England and the new America broke the power of the Barbary States corsairs, and relieved the mercantile world from paying, tribute for immunity to its commerce. By the War of 1812 our country com pelled Great Britain to abandon Its claim of "once a subject always a subject" and acknowledge their right to change their citizenship. The war with Mexico, probably 'least de fensible of any in our history, taught tne Mexicans the advantage of a stable gov ernment by which they have greajtly profited, and their territory transferred to our rule has made more advance in half a century than it could have done in of Christendom overflowed In the wariiKe flve centuries of its former regime, and crusades, and those crusaders returning again v!ZiT -qs a civlllzer. irom tneir contact wun tne iegant liter ature and comparative relinement of the Greeks and Saracens, brought with them crude ideas of a better civilization, and a little later the conquest of the Eastern Empire by the Turks sent the learned men of Greece flying to Western Europe, caus ing a revival of learning and a material mental and moral uplifting that resulted In what Is called "The Reformation," and the wars of that period led to an advance in civilization. The "War 6f the Roses' in England, by striking down Kings and Barons, weak ened the belief in their divine right and planted a tree from which Cromwell and his Ironsides shook the ripened fruit by making Parliament superior to the throne. Its complete supremacy helng finally es tablished by the revolution of 10SS, and again war proved a great civlllzer. The people of each age are inheritors of the wisdom and progress and civiliza tion of all previous ages, and the op pressed of the Old World seeking a larger liberty brought with them to the virgin domain of the New World all the prog ress, all the civilization, all tho aspira tions that were their inheritance from a thousand years of strife and struggle In the Old World, plus the energy and self- But no event of ancient or modern times gives such evidence of war as a civlllzer as our own great Civil War. While the original states of our Union were but in fant colonies the incubus of African slav ers' "was fastened upon them by the moth er country, and had gained such strength at the time of the organization of our Government that It was able to dictate terms for its protection under the consti tution then adopted. Thus the Declara tion of Independence was made a living He, for 4.000,000 human beings were born to hopoless slavery, and governed with out their consent, and men, women and children were sold at auction under the RHEnMATIS Almost as Common in Summer as in Winte When the blood is charged with Uric Acid and other inflam matory matter, and muscles and joints, tissues and nerves having become saturated with it, an attack of Rheumatism is liable to come at anytime, and from very slight causes sndden chilling of the body when over-heated, exposure to night air, a fit of indigestion, an easterly wind, or any sudden change in the weather will stir the blood and set in motion these demon forces as quickly as the cold, piercing winds of winter. The fcal cause of Rheumatism is a polluted, sour and acid condition of the blood, and as it flows through the body it deposits a gritty, irritating substance or sediment in the muscles, joints and nerves, and it is these that produce the terrible pains, inflam mation and swelling, and the misery and torture of acute Rheumatism. No other disease causes such pain, such wide spread suffering as Rheumatism. It deforms and cripples its thousands, leaving them helpless and miserable. When neglected or improperly treated, Rheumatism becomes chronic : the pains are wandering or shifting from one place to another, sometimes sharp and cutting, again dull and aggravating. The muscles of the neck, shoulders and back, the joints of the knees, ankles and wrists, are most often the seat of pain. Countless liniments "are rubbed upon the affected parts, and plasters are applied to get relief, but such things do not reach the poisoned blood; their effect is only temporary; they are neither curative nor preventive. ' The blood must be purified, the acid poison counteracted, and all irritating matter removed from the circulation before permanent relief and a thorough cure is effected, and no remedy does this so certainly a so quickly as S. S. S. It contains not only purifying and tonic properties, but solvent quali ties as well, all these being necessary in eradicating the poison and making a complete and lasting cure of Rheumatism. S. S. S. cleanses the blood, and under its tonic effect the nervous system regains its normal tone and the appetite and digestion improve, resulting in the upbuilding of the general health, and because of its solvent properties al irritating matter and acid particles are dissolved and filtered out of the system, thus relieving the muscles and joints and removing all linger of future attacks'. S. S. S. contains no Mercury, Potash or minerals of any description, but is guaranteed purely vegetable. Old people will find it not only the best blood purifier, but a most invigorating tonic. Just such, a remedy as they need to enrich the blood and quicken the circulation. Whether you have Rheumatism in the acute 01 chronic stage, the treatment must be internal, deep and thorough in order to be lasting. Never be satisfied with anything less than an absolutely perfect cure. This you can get by the use of S. S. o. Write us fully and freely about your case, and medical advice will be given without charge, and our special book on Rheumatism will be mailed free to all desiring it. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA. GA GOT PROMPT RELIEF, XOUISVII.I.E, K, April 1, 1902. - GENTLEMEN : For the past twenty-three years I have used S. S. S. in my family as a general spring tonic. I have also used it personally for Rheumatism and got prompt relief. I have bought many boftles of S. S. S. to give to those needing a good medicine and who were unable to buy it themselves. There is nothing that I can say too highly in favor of S. S. S., and will continue both to keep it in the house and recommend it to any whom I thick need a sure cure for impure blood arising from any cause. Yours very truly, 1917 PTeston St. Jas. Andersox. sight of the representatives of the mon archlcal governments of the world, mak lag us an object of scorn to all nations. A great National sin must eventually bring a great National punishment. Our punishment began with the great sectional strife over extension of slavery to the yet free territories, finally decided against such extension, but no statesman, jurist or philanthropist could Imagine how slav ery could ever be abolished while the Constitution should remain In force. But "Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad." The slaveholders resorted to the arbitrament of war to perpetuate their Institution and thereby lost it. The Chief Executive of the Nation, with his hand clothed in the silken glove of peace, could ncer hive signed a decree emancipating single slave, but when states were In a shadow of our National Capitol, and In Insurrection the mailed hand of the Com mander-In-Chlef of the Army and Navy of tho United States, by one stroke of the pen. unrlveted the shackles that bound 4,000,000 human beings in otherwise hope less bondage. The baton of a Marshal became the wand of progress that. In the words of a great orator, "touched the auction-block, the slave-pen, the whipping post, nnd we see homes and firesides and schoolhouscs and books, and where all was want and crime, and cruelty and fear we see the faces of tho free." Thus four years of war resulted In rid ding our country of that relic of the dark SONG OF PEACE ByEDWfN MARK HAM .'

The disease was desperate, the treatment heroic, the cure radical; and the recovery has been as rap id as could be expected after two centuries' continuance of the disease. Since that time our country has progressed at an enormously increased ratio, lta influence Is felt throughout the world, and again has war been proved a great civlllzer. Contrasting with the progress made by English-speaking peoples during the 19th century the rule of Spain In our neigh boring islands was so cruel and oppres sive that our Government felt Impelled to Interfere, both through pity for a near neighbor and in the cause of humanity, bringing on a war, short, sharp and de cisive, resulting In the acquisition from Spain by treaty "of nearly all her insular possessions. Under our tutelage and fos tering care, and In accordance with the letter and spirit of our promise, Cuba has adopted a constitution of Its own, and Is Just being launched In a career of self government. "We have given Porto Rico a Just colonial government, under which her people are content and prospering", establishing schools and seeking in every way to raise themselves in the scale of civilization. The Philippines prove a more difficult problem, but by the usual custom of our race, we shall through war establish peace and obedience to law, then Inoculate their people with the virus of progress and await patiently the result.

American in ventions, machinery and mandfactures will do their missionary work, the people capable of improvement will become fit ted for Intelligent citizenship, and the in ferior races will sharo the fate of other Inferior races that In the past have stood In the -way of tho world's progress. "We may confidently expect that our posses sion of the Philippines will prove the basis for an expansion of our commercial Interests that will not only be of vast benefit to our Industries, but will extend the Influence of American ideas and Insti tutions among the teeming millions of t,he Orient, and again will war have I proven a great civlllzer. Companions, perhaps 1 take a "too ro6- ! I so It Is the" fault of my temperament. "I I am a born optimist. The world has been , generous to me all my days, and I am : always ready to reciprocate. I have had ments In life, but to me' today Is al ways better than yesterday, and "tomor row shall be as yesterday and much moro abundant": the sunshiny makes a more lasting impression than the shadow, even under Oregon skies, and I reflect that perhaps this world and this life may bo all the world and life I will ever know. Sut If there be another existence, as some very good people assure us, and we be permitted to enter the pea'rly gates and walk the golden streets of the eternal city, and enjoy all the beatitudes so often and eloquently pictured for us, still. If t there be no further progress for us, no I strife and struggle for higher attainments, II fear we will find such a state of ex istence "stale, flat and unprofitable," and will sometimes wish torevlalt for a short time this round earth, and by a short In- happy vacation. Dr. HepTVOrth'a Noble Service. Brooklyn Eagle. When the late Dr. Hepworth what a sorrow It Is to write so often thit word late was a preacher in Boston, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. At once a hue and cry against Edwin Booth sprung up. Dr. Hepworth instantly denounced It, and stated on his personal knowledge that Edwin Booth was a loyal man, an excellent citizen and an ardent admirer of Lincoln, whom he had twice supported for the Presidency, despite the fact that he was Southern bcrn and that actors rarely took pxrt In and more rarely knew anything about politics. That stemmed the tide against Edwin Booth. Dr. Hepworth's timely act was one of fine Justice, courago and friendship. It redressed the balances of Judgment and sanity. It made possible to America the splendid career of Edwin Booth on the atage. Another action of Dr. Hepworth should not escape recall. JTor a long time he preached to a congregation In NcWarlc for nothing. It needed a mlntotry of the gospel. Circumstances called fpr the best sermonizing, but did not-pormlt the con gregation to pay for it at previlllng rates. The situation Interested Dr. Hepworth and respond. 'I to his unfeigned liking for preaching. He gave his pulpit services not only freely but without any adver tisement of the fact. He aided that peo ple till they grew able to maintain a stated ministry, and then he retired from the work, on the ground that It wa3 best for a congregation to pay Its way and employ a regular pastor when It could. This was at a time when the showiest and most lucrative fields were open to him on every side. Dr. Hepworth never lightly estimated the ministry. He honored It always. He never lost his moral dignity amid secular employments. He gave to whatever he did the distinction of a gentleman and the beauty of a quiet, sincere and con stant religious character. For sectarian Ism he cared little, for stimulating man kind to fidelity to Ideals he cared every thing. His spoken or written discourses were means to an end of making human ity better and spirituality regnant In life and tnought. The good he wrought was large. The numbers he benefited were In calculable. The ministry of the press has lost In him one who raised It to a high estate. READ! READ! READ! 'What the Well-Known Peo ple of Portland Say ofr C.
