Men Needed Today as Well as m '61
Rabbi Jonah B. Wise Speaks 03 the Duties and Responsibilities of the Present
RABBI JONAH B. WISH addressed the
congregation assembled at the Tem
ple Beth Israel Friday night, on the
upward struggle through which our coun
try has passed since the Pilgrim Fathers
landed on her shores, speaking particular
ly of the triumphs of the Civil War. He
took for his text Psalms xc:l": "May the
grace of the Lord, our God, be upon us,
establish thou for us the work of our
hands; yea, the work of our hands, es
tablish thou it." He said in part:
War has but one justification and that is
lasting peace. Where passion is aroused
and reason flees to leave Its heritage to
rage and anger there comes the time in
the lives of nations when they appeal to
the arbiter whose decision none is too
dense to comprehend and whose word is
final in the settling of the Issue; the con
clave of the soldiers takes the place of the
solemn sitting of the cqurts of law and
the tread of armed legions deposes the se
rious debates of Senator and Consul. The
bitter struggle, the bloodshed and the
strife exhaust those animosities that
turned brother against brother so that
when the Judgment Is decreed by the final
issue they who were the keenest in the
battle become the leaders in the 'healing
of Its wounds. Upon the scars that strife
lias left peace, the sovereign panacea,
drops its soothing balm, uniting in love of
country the victor and the vanquished.
8uch is the history of our great Civil War,
a war that racked the fairest lands that
had ever been smiled upon by the good
ness of a God who loves, a land that in its
Inception had been dedicated to freedom
and to the relief of all those who were
oppressed by the bonds that the fathers
of our liberties declared to be unbearable
to free men and unrighteous in the eyes
of the Creator.
Our beloved country has . had to pass
through the crucible of Internecine strife
in order to test in Its fiery breath whether
the state were a stable one or not. It has
had to gather its ultimate strength for a
struggle that was to decide the life or the
death of democracy, and to show the
world that the ruling of the state is the
legitimate interest and the rightful in
heritance of its own citizens. In proving
this a great effort had to be made, still
there were men who rose to the occasion,
demonstrating that the government of
empires is not confined to the inherited
genius of royalty nor the entailed virtues
of nobility, but that there Is in the state
an indefatigable virtue that will in times
of great crises raise up the humblest cit
izen as the heaven-sent leader of the cause
of liberty.
We are now recovering from the effects
of a great civil war. We have had estab
lished for us with the dearest price that
liberty can demand, the blood of heroes,
tiie sacred Institutions that are to be our
Inheritance in all times, and which are to
be the inspiration for all those who,
weighted down beneath the stress of tyr
anny, are lifting their eyes to the heights
and crying forth from the depths for what
is the right of every man. We gathered
here may well pay a tribute to the mem
ory of those who fell in the strife, whose
lives were offered up in sacrifice to the
rause that means permanence of our insti
tutions and the maintenance of a haven
of refuge to those who are oppressed and
persecuted. Not in vainglorious exultation
of their virtues, nor in exulting remem
brance of victories won, are we assembled
In this house of worship, but rather in
thankful praise to the giver of all good,
whose world is today a better one through
the courage of those who fell beneath the
stroke of the judgment of war. Not in
bitterness and not wtth reproach do we
recall the valor of the dead, but in all
thankfulness that there did exist those
virtues in the human breast which re
sponded to the call to go forth and fight
the battle of integrity. We must recall
their memories and proclaim them to the
length and breadth of this great land; It
it a duty as sacred as the answer to the
call to arms; we need them In our schools,
we must have their recollection vivid be
fore every citizen, in the event that there
again should come the call that it be an
swered by 60.000 as good as the first to
answer to the call for volunteers, all of
whom can truthfully respond to the de
mand for the help of men.
Needs of the Present Day.
We need nipn now as we needed them
then, we need courage as we needed it
then, we need honesty as we needed it
then, for we must establish firmly the
works of their hands, the one thing that
can really justify a cruel war, and that Is
lasting peace.
In the guarding of the fruits of war,
the blessings of peace, we must exert the
alertness of the lonely sentinel, ex
pecting from every citizen the virtues of
the private in the ranks so that we may
demand of the leaders the grave compo
sure and the foresight of the general in
command. We must apply the terms of
war to the incidents of peace, so that we
may expect, in the administration of the
stale, the honor and the discipline that
makes victorious armies. We are the
heirs to the Inheritance that noble ex
ample lias handed down, we are placed as
the executors of an estate that means
honor and glory, and if we allow our
selves to relax and forget that every man
lias duties we shall be unworthy, leav
ing the tattered relics of battle and of
siege to be viewed by sightless eyes,
while their glory will have departed from
the minds and hearts of citizens debased.
If we are the real heirs of the glorious
memories we recall today, if we are, in
all reality, entitled to mention them, we
have a great responsibility. Kternal vig
ilance is the price that our safety will
demand, and eternal obligation to make
possible the exercise of caution. We are
bound to encourage that calm and re
pose that alone can bring us good, that
will solve all our problems and that will
allow to every citizen his rightful share
and enjoyment of the privileges of peace.
First and foremost in the preservation
of the fruits of war comes the necessity
for that intellectual reserve that will en
able those who exercise the judgment of
the ballot to do so with every caution,
with the feelings of the highest, most In
timate personal responsibility so that
in time the offices of government will be
the duty of the best citizen and not be
come as they so surely promise, the du
bious prey of mountebanks and dema
gogues. There must rise in the con
sciousness of the majority the power of
exercising calm and unbiased Judgments,
that party rant and section spreadeagle
ism will not warp, which will make the
casting of the ballot a sacred obligation
to be preserved with all the safeguards
and res(ect that the very existence of
our country will demand. There must
arise a sense of official probity that
will make the oath of office not a per
mit to exploit the richness of our govern
ment for the benefit of favored hench
men snd party workers, but an assump
tion of sacred trust. There must be built
up in the minds of all those who par
take of the responsibilities of citizenship
tuch regard for government, such re
spect for its good intentions that will
make its service the highest ambition of
our best citizens instead of the craven
desire of the incompetent and the other
wise unsuccessful.
Develop Spirit of Fairness.
Get education and liberality of judg
ment instilled into the minds of every
rltizen that spirit of fairness that will
obfuscate the unworthy attempts at
courting popular applause which perse
cute us in the press, in the pulpit and
in the courts of law and legislation. We
must develop an attitude of mind that
will distinguish between the dross and
the gold in the attention we pay to those
ho court our gratitude in real or spu
rious attempts at protecting our politi
cal, religious and personal rights. We
must frown down the sensational press
that by its crass and shameless exposi
tion and horrible minuteness in the
searching out and description of crime
in every form, creates & morbid and
diseased taste for the debased, suggesting
to the weaker mind, so miserably exposed
to the powerful influence of the example
of sin, the same horrible crimes so that
the greatest hotbeds of vice today are
the public prints presenting their ghastly
pictures to the eyes of the family in the
sacred precincts of the home. We must
decry the mania for finding wrong in
every angle of business and politics in
order to escape from the presence of the
fetid sink of corruption that we are
forced to breathe in every day, placing
in its stead the prevalence of a fairer
aspect of trust in the good intentions
of our fellowmen.
We are bound, by every consideration
of self protection and respect, to safe
guard religion In order that the worship
of God, our most elevating and purest
heritage, will not be defiled by the ban
alities of sensational preaching, leaving
the way Invitingly open to Impious frauds
to come in and establish on the neglected
foundations of real faith, the distorted
misconceptions that disgrace our cleaner
piety today. In the true and faithful fear
of God we shall have a bulwark that
will protect us to the end, even as it was
the rock upon which our liberties were
founded. Clean hands and pure hearts
must they have who proclaim the name
and works of God; so we are, as citizens,
most vitally Interested In keeping the
way open only to those who answer to
this description.
The real seat of liberty is in the courts
of law, and these must be guarded with
a jealous care that will leave no possible
doubt In the minds of every one of their
honesty, fairness and good Intentions.
Justice is pictured as blindfolded with
the scales of judgment in the one band
and the sword of punishment in the
other. These scales must be preserved
In the most careful way, so that they
will weigh out in stern equality to the
rich and poor alike, so that they may
strike the true balance and never vary
a hairsbreadth from the truth. The
sword must be ever ready to mete out
punishment to the offender, but its stroke
must be tempered with all the safe
guards that the constitution commands.
Justice must be blind to power and to
poverty alike, but beware that that blind
ness be not a source or the symbol of
reception that the sightless eyes be not
hoodwinked. . or the end will come in
hot haste and with a sure and fatal
stroke.
The Safeguards of Peace.
Such are the safeguards of lasting
peace, such are the armies that now must
take the place of the Potomac, the Cum
berland and the Tennessee. To the Integ
rity and the good sense of our citizens
is entrusted the sacred fruits of a great
and terrible conflict. They must beware
with all the power that they can com
mand, that the boon of liberty be not
clouded with frivolity and small quar
rels, that the noble example of the re
sponse to the first call for volunteers
find an answering echo in the hearts of
every man, so that there will again be
60.000 men who can, in all honesty ot
purpose, volunteer to save the Republic.
In thus recalling the facts of our sol
emn duty toward the Republic can we In
some small measure pay a fitting tribute
to the memories of those whom fate had
Blngled out to attain to Immortal honor
not unworthy heirs, accepting the duty of
furthering with all that power that we
have given us to the cause of freedom.
May the day of memorial dedicate us all
anew in the service of great truth, that
we can see and welcome the good in what
ever form it comes, that we be inspired
with a nobler feeling of our responsibil
ities, so that we can propose to all man
kind relief for the suffering and degrad
ed of all the world. May it make us care
ful of our own virtues so that we raise
up within our land worthy men and
women who will have the courage and
the spirit that animated the men of '61
to carry on the work and establish for
them the works of their hands.
Memory of Those Who Fell.
No celebration of the day is complete
that does not pay all respect to the mem
ories of those who fell In defense of what
they considered right, whether they came
from the North or from the South. No
question can be raised as to the great
gallantry of both; no comparison can be
instituted between the courage of the
one and the other, and when all Is said
and done there is but little to choose be
tween the motives that won the battle of
Chickamauga and that which carried the
day at Gettysburg. Both fought and died
with the conviction of right, and now that
the clouds and dust of battle have cleared
away we see them united In a bond of
common love of country, a union of mu
tual Interest that has been made stronger
by the desperate conflict of civil war. Just
as the Monitor and the Merrimao fought
a drawn battle that day when men were
amazed at the strange devices that the
art of war had called forth, while today
the noble fleets that guard our coasts are
made on the union of the two types, so
has our country, uniting the two types
of the North and the South in a com
mon bond forged ahead to a strength and
power that compares to the state of the
Republic In '61 as does the steel Kear
sarge to her wooden predecessor of the
same name.
Peace has united us in a bond that
grows firmer year by year, and we" are
now beginning to reap the benefits that
they whose memories we hallow this day
have given to us. We must school our
selves then in the exercise of those civic
virtues that we are so proud to men
tion as our rights and see that the bene
fits of democracy be not annulled by neg
lect of the first principles of manhood.
Let the spirit of this day be one on which
we revive in our hearts with the mem
ories of bravery and of victories won in
war, the great perhaps greater recollec
tions of noble toleration and respect for
all men's rights that will lead us re
splendent on manhood and true woman
hood to the imperishable the eternal vic
tories of peace.
In the end all people will be judged, not
by men and not by human will, but in the
courts of the divine who metes out re
ward to those who do his commands. In
that court may we plead beside the
glory and the bravery of our fathers the
nobler plea that we aided their cause
with all the power that in us lay to jus
tify the ends of war by strengthening the
bonds of lasting peace. To that end was
all their suffering, for that they strove
and suffered in the camp and on the
field, their aim hi war peace. May we
then, as Moses, the great leader, looking
back on what was done for the good of
man, pray to the God who made us all
the prayer that was the unconscious re
quest of those men whose memories we
recall today: "May the grace of the Lord.

FOUR GENERATIONS OP THE HOWELL FAMILY,
This picture represents four generations of a family that was found
ed more than fifty years ago near Oregon City by the marriage of
Josiali Howell and Virginia Willis. To the right is Mrs. Howell, to the
left her oldest living child, Mrs. L- Jaggen, of this city. Mrs. C. R.
Fones and her young son, Robert, also of this city, complete the group.
The Howell home has been for more than 40 years on the hill in the
beautiful pioneer village of- Canemah, overloking the Falls of the
Willamette.
as the saviors of their country. In the
fullest praise and the noblest eloquence
of glorification there would be an empty
and a hollow sound were we to forget
that their sufferings and sorrows were
only the beginnings of the work and that
unless we attempt wtth the fullest power
that remains to us the carrying forward
of their aims we are mere empty brag
garts while they who repose beneath the
sod laid down their lives in vain, leaving
to an ungrateful posterity the heritage
of freedom to be frittered away in
thoughtlessness and selfishness. We honor
ourselves in the recalling of the virtues
of the dead; we pay tribute to their
memories by the pride we take In the
mention of their names and deeds, but if
we accept the palm of victory and the
wreath of heroism as the things that they
have left to us while we neglect the
graver heritage of loyalty and love of
country, their memories will be debased by
a generation that grovels In the dust,
which, content to accept the gifts of
martyrdom, refuses to assume the privi
lege of loyal service to the same cause.
If we for one moment forget that the
blood poured out on land and sea an
noints us one and all as saviours of our
liberties, we have no right to recall the
glories of the past. Liberty is the heri
tage of the Intelligent and the high-minded
and we must strive to prove ourselves
our God be upon us: establish thou for
us the work of our hands, yea the work
of our hands establish thou it."

Armours Ignore Commission Men.
OMAHA. June 1. The fight between the
packers and the stock commission men
over the purchase of "she stuff," sub
ject to post-mortem examination, took a
new turn today when Armour & Co., pur
chased 320 cows direct from the cattle
raisers, subject to the new rule of the
packers governing this class of livestock.
Commission men at all yards are advis
ing shippers and raisers not to ship stock
until the new order is rescinded. This is
the first break in the cattle-growers' line.
Armour's manager said the "she stuff"
was purchased at "normal figures," but
refused to state the actual price.
Commission dealers upon the livestock
exchange are wrought up over the direct
purchase by the packers from the ship
pers, instead of having the sale pass
through their hands.
