10 THE SUNDAY OREG0XIAX. POItTLAXD, OCTOBER 22, 1905, 6.0. INDIGNANT JTt.EIMIOS His Strictures on Civil War Veterans Are Bitterly y Resented. .. RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED celvcd censure that wGuld have made his cars tingle to have heard. The resolutions were adopted by a rising vote every one in the hall standing. Department Commander Hill announced 4that Department Chaplain Henry EL Bar- oen naa .ocen commissioned toNpropare for the press an answer to Rev. James Ed munds from the Department of Oregon. Soldiers Who Saved Union Grieved and Surprised That a Minister of the Qpspel Should Make Slanderous Statements Rev. James Edmunds, the Baptist Sun day school missionary, of Oregon, resid ing in Portland, has stirred up 'a hornet's nest by his remarks before the Baptist Convention of "Washington and Idaho, held InSpokane, while delivering an ad dress on "Mission to Childhood," by hla references to the veterans of the Civil "War. The veterans everywhere resent tho Intimation that Rev. Mr. Edmunds makes that they are a "whisky and tobacco-soaked class," and the indication are that he has gone Tip against a buzz saw. Last night Sumner Post No. 12, G. A. on the East Side, held a camp fire, where Commander E. T. Hills, Chap lain Henry E. Barden, and other promi nent members of the Portland posts were present. Adopt Strong Resolutions. " It was a season' of speeches and feast ing on hot toffee, beans and other sub stantial, In the course, of which the fol lowing resolutions were read and adopted: Whereas. The Rev. James Edmunds, a Baptist missionary, is reported to have made the following fling at the veterans of the Civil War in his address before tho Washington and North Idaho Convention, In Spokane, in speaking on "Mission of Childhood," said: "An educational conscience would revo lutionize our present method of teaching patriotism by means of martial songs and parades. To shoulder a gun and go out and shoot somebody is now held to be the acme of patriotism. "And we hold up veterans who come back and dissipate themselves with drink and riotous living as tho .model of patriot ism when they march In procession. My father was a soldier in the Civil War, but the day has gone past when I will .hurrah for a parade of veterans steeped in to bacco and whisky. "If the church had an educational con science which would induce us to hold up men like Folk of Missouri, who has stood for purity and against graft. Instead of these polluted veterans, we would have a much higher standard of patriotism." Whereas. Wc express our amazement at tho statement made in the foregoing quo tation from a minister of a denomination that has always been foremost in honor ing the veterans of the Civil -War, and cannot allow such statement to pass un noticed, delivered as it was before a con vention of that denomination, but In our reply we do not intimate that the Baptists are In any way responsible for the uncalled-for utterances of Rev. Mr. Ed munds; : Whereas. We deny most vigorously that the veterans of the Civil-War hold up war as the symbol of all honor and patriotic virtue, but on the contrary the Grand Army of the Republic teaches that peace Is the highest aim and purpose of the Na tion, and the statement In the foregoing by the Rev. Mr. Edmunds that "to shoul der a gun and shoot somebody is consid ered the acme of patriotism, is wholly without foundation. This organization de nounces that statement as an insult to the Civil War veterans of .the whole coun try, and proclaims the ignorance of the Rev. Mr. Edmunds of the principles of the G. A. R.. and distorts the very ob jects for which the soldiers and volunteers fought they fought for peace; Whereas, We hold further that the marching of the battle-scarred -veterans on public occasions, to martial music, with halting and tottering footsteps, teaches respect for the defenders of the Union, and in no way cultivates a spirit of war in the Nation we all love: the veterans have taught patriotism In the public schools of the land by erection of monu ments, by the beautiful Memorial day ceremonies by which the honored dead are remembered, by placing the National col ors on every public schoolhouse of the Nation; but public addresses In the in terests of peace and quiet, by act and deed, and hence we repel the Insinuation that we teach war and Its attendant hor rors to tho young children of this coun try: WherPas, As Rev. Mr. Edmunds Inti mates that tho veterans of the Civil War are a dissipated lot. we denounce this statement as most outrageous and untrue, and as an insult to the intelligence of the American people. While It is true that a small portion of the "boys in blue" contracted the habit of drink and using tobacco while on the firing line In defense of the Union, it is not true that they, as a rule, are a dissipated class of men, but on the contrary, some of the ablest and brightest and purest men this Nation has produced are Civil War veterans; and at the last Grand Encampment, held In Denver, where the flower of the Grand Army of the Republic was gatherod from all the state, not a single Intoxicated vet eran was seen of the 10,000 gathered In that city during the sessions; therefore, be It Resolved. By the members of Sumner Post, No. 12, G. A. R.. in campfire assem bled. That we repel the Insinuations that Rev. James Edmunds, the son of a worthy veteran, that the veterans are not worthy the respect of the Nation as examples of patriotic devotion to the country shown on the hundreds of battle-fields, or that the tattered and trembling feet of the veterans s they march to Jhe cemeteries to honor the dead, are examples of corruption, pol lution and dissipation; and hereby express our amazement that the son of a veteran shoiild have given utterance to such senti ments as are quoted In the foregoing ex tract. Commander Hills Speaks. Following the reading of the resolutions Chairman C. J. Ward called on Depart ment Commander T. E. Hills, who spoke with much feeling In defense of the vet erans maligned" by Rev. Mr. Edmunds. "My observation has been," said Com mander Hill, "that the -veterans of the Civil War, as a class, are not dissipated. We have shown to the world that we are a sober and Industrious lot, and I believe, that, man to man, the G. A. R. veterans' will compare favorably with any of the citizens of the Nation. I attended the Denver encampment," and out o the 93,000 veterans who were there I never saw an Intoxicated man. There may have been some Intoxication, but I saw none of it In that great gathering. In intelligence, mental grasp and sobriety. I think that body would compare favorably with any body of the sort in the world. I don't say that none of the veterans drink, for some do to excess: but as a class they are sober and loyal citizens." Chaplain Barden's Tribute. Following came a fine and eloquent trib ute to the -veterans of the G. A. R. from Department Chaplain Rev. Henry E. Bar den, who declared that Rev. James Ed munds, who had traduced the veterans of the Civil War, was not a Baptist and had never been ordained as a Baptist minister. He said that the veterans as a class were loyal and law-abiding citizens, and full of patriotism, and denounced in strongest terms the characterization of, tfe veterans by Rev. Mr. Edmunds as most untrue and unworthy the son of a veteran. Remarks were made by G. E. Caukln. M. L. Pratt, Comrade Lemons (of Hunt ington), I. MeGowan, F. RNeale and others, and the Rev. James ZMmunte re- TRYING TO HEAL SPLIT Negotiations for 3fergcr of Ttlval Livestock Associations. DENVER, Oct. 2L Tho proposition to amalgamate the National Livestock As sociation and the American Stockgrowers' Association on a basis that would also dispose of the much mooted question of representation of the packing, railroad and commission house interests, was taken up at the Joint conference of the executive committees of the two or ganizations at the Brown Palace Hotel yesterday. A plan outlined by a sub committee was voted down after a some what extended discussion and the sub committee instructed to make another effort to formulate a plan that would be acceptable to all interests. The sub committee will report again today. The report, which was defeated yester day, recommended that the National Live stock Association be changed to National Livestock Committee, consisting or repre sentatives of tho producers of livestock. This committee would In turn appoint committees on railroads, packing houses, commission houses, eta, which would give those interests a representation and a right to be heard whenever they" felt the need of expression. "'The report recom mended that the American Stockgrowers become known as the American Cattle growers' Association, with a membership ponslsting of cattle, horses and swino growers. The sheep men, tho report sug gested, should affiliate with tho American Woolgrowers Association. PERSONALMENTfON. Mr. and Mrs. George TV.

S OPPOSED TO IT Judge Webster Objects to the Bridge Advertisements. HE GIVES HIS REASONS An Injunction May Be Sought to " Prevent the Execution --"br the Contract Entered Into by -County Commissioners. "I am opposed to advertising signs' on the draw rests of the bridges, and always have been," said Judge Webster, yester day. "The contract was agreed upon by County 'Commissioners LIghtncr and Barnes, while I -was absent from the city. Therms are several reasons why I am op posed to It. The county does not need the money. A small sum. such as 5500, is of little consequence. Another thing. If It Is advisable to let a contract of this kind, the county ought to get as much as It can for It, everybody should be given a chance to bid, and it ought not to be granted to the first person that comes along." The privilege was awarded to Allan R Joy, attorney, who recently became tho law partner of United States Senator John H. 'Mitchell. Mr. Joy does not pro nose to engage in the advertising busi ness. He has not divulged the name- of his principals, but is supposed to be work ing in the Interest of the billboard trust. The Taxpayers' League and Chamber of Commerce organizations protested against the letting of the contract, and an In junction suit may be brought by those opposed to the scheme, and who are work ing in the Interest of civic improvement. There Is little doubt but what an injunc tion would lie, it Is urged, as the juris diction of the County Commissioners' Codrt over bridges and ferries is to op erate and maintain them, and not to let contracts to have them plastered with un sightly advertising placards.

They quarreled a week ago, and Edel man shot Manhuffer in the shoulder with a 32-callber revolver. The bullet pierced the flesh and Inflicted a slight flesh wound.

Mrs. Cypher, with thrvo children, Irene, Earl and Maud, the eldest a beautiful girl 12 years old, was before the court to an swer to a charge of neglecting them, and faluro to send them to school. The moth er and the children have been living in cheap lodging-houses of a questionable reputation. They were well dressed, and Mrs. Cypher said she worked and cared for them the best -she could, and that her husband left her eight years ago. She did not want to part with her children, and explained that she could not afford better lodgings than those she has occu pied. She mentioned several persons who would testify in her favor.

Jabour's career as a. showman has come to an end. -jeorge "E.

"When one stops to consider the source of this determination on Ihe part of GcorgoE. Jabour. the change docs not appear to be so extraordinary.'

SOCIETY MAY MOVE TO EUGENE. President Younsr Favors This Flan, 1 FerBiaBeat Building- Is Not to Be Erected In Portland. If the wishes of some of the members of the Oregon Historical Society bear fruit Portland and the stockholders of the'1 Lewis and Clark Fair will have no further cause to worry about the me morial hall and the home for the ex hibits and collections of the Oregon Historical Society. The newest plan, and one that Is fostered by President F. G. Young-, of the State University at Eugene, and at the same time the sec retary of the society. Is to erect a li brary building at the university and in It provide for he arrangement and bousing of the property of the society. It Is understood that Professor Young- would not advocate such a course were a building to be provided In Portland for the collections now in the keeping of the society, but ho takes the ground that some place must be prepared, that the City Hall is a temporary place and inadequate, and that In other states the historical socie ties usually have their headquarters at the State Universities for tho benefit of the students of those Institutions. Professor Young Is not the only member of the scolety who Is In favor j of making the change, so It Is said, but a great many of those who live In Portland are willing to see the transfer made. If It will give added care to those relics which have been collected at so much labor and cost. Tho members of tlie society, do many of them as have expressed their opin ions on the subject, are not In favor of placing the archives of the society In the Forestry building. They take tho stand that the building has served Its purpose during tho Fair, and that It is not permanent and not a proper place In which to Btore the possessions of the Historical Society. Those who are In favor of purchasing a park are making but little outward showing, though hey may be at work silently. It Is understood that the Port land Consolidated Street Railway Com pany has offered Xo uell a piece of ground to the city, adjacent to tho grounds surrounding the Forestry building, for J5Q00 less than its market value, provided the State "Commission will fulfill the requirements of the law nnd erect a memorial building upon the land. persons were more or less injured, but no one was killed.
