tter Address at First Presbyterian
Church, Collection Is Taken
Towards Fund to Carry Case
to the, Supreme Court.
Judge Samuel R. Artman, of Lebanon.
Ind.. spoke to a large audience at the
First Presbyterian Church last night
on "The Legality of the Saloon." Judge
Artman Is making a tour ot the coun
try, and will go from here to Seattle
and Tacoma, and thence East. On the
platform with him last night were
Judge Arthur L. Frazer, of the Juvenile
Court, Samuel Connell and H. V. Stone,
of the Y. M. C. A. At the close of the
address a collection was taken which
will be used to defray the expense of
getting a saloon license case before
the United States Supreme Court, when
It Is hoped by the temperance people
that the decision will go against the
liquor traffic and put it out of business
entirely. Judge Artman said In part:
"The Judge more than any other perr
Fon must know the moral law. and if
any action ever requires its application
snd he does not apply it. either lie is
dishonest or a. moral coward. The moral
law, like the common law, is based upon
the truth that no man belongs wholly
to himself. He holds his body and his
possessions in line with the fundamen
tal principal that lie must not so use
them as to infringe upon the rights
of his follow . man.
"There was a time In the history of
this world when there was no state,
rjo constitution and no common law, but
ithere has never been a time when the
moral law has not been In force. Right
and wrong are not the creation of any
constitution, ' nor of any common law
nor legislative enactment. Right is
action in harmony with moral law nd
wrong is violation of it. If God had
put angels on tills earth instead of men
we never would have needed other re
straint than moral law. but as he put
men here with all their passions and
downward tendencies, there must neces
sarily be some means of enforcing the
moral law. Thus, as an absolute neces
sity, the state came into existence.
Civil government came into existence
as a means of self-defense. That Is the
connection between the constitution,
the common law and the moral law.
Terms Are Contradiction.
"We hear a great deal about a thing
being morally wrong and legally right.
How can this be possible If the basis
Is the same for both? A thing morally
right is also legally right If the law
Is properly enforced. The people have
no choice between moral right and
moral wrong, for Almighty God has
made that choice for them.
"Under the moral law the saloon
business is an outlaw, and It must be
closed because it also runs contrary
io the common law and the Constitu
tion. Intoxicating drink is a poison
which frenzies the brain and directs the
murderer in the thrust of the fatal
knife. It does not promote the general
welfare, nor the best interests of so
ciety and is not an Inherent right of
citizenship.
"The Supreme Court of the State of
Indiana has three times said that no
man keeps a saloon by right, and the
Supreme Court of the United States has
said three times that no citizen has an
inherent right to manufacture Intoxi
cating liquor as a beverage. The Indi
ana court has also said, however, that
the license 13 a prohibition of the traf
fic. In my county we had a man who
for 4b years conducted a saloon under
a license. There came a time when lie
did not get a license, but according
to the decision f the Supreme Court of
Indiana we had prohibition for 45 years
and were then doing away with it.
"If the saloon is detrimental to so
ciety, if It endangers the public morals.
If it endangers the peace of society and
Inflicts Immoral and pernicious results
If It does any ot these things it Is
unlawful, for there is no such thing
as a common right to do wrong. That
the saloon does all ot these things is
conceded.
Saloon Stands Condemned.
"A ealoonman said to me. 'You have
no more right by doing away wita the
saloon to rob .me of the right to earn
my bread than I have to burn your
house, and !f you do it a dose of lead
will be the proper thing for you.'
"If you paid your money to become a
member of a banking corporation, having
signed the constitution to that effect you
mould think a judge crazy who would say
In court taat you had no just cause for
action should the board of trustees of the
bank go into the saloon business because
lit is more profitable. Our Nation is a
large corporation. The purpose for which
the Government was organized condemns

EUGENE, Or.. July 20. (Special.) The real work of paving Willamette
street and laying the track for the Eugene street railway began here the first
of the present week and good progress has been made in tho undertaking.
The work on the railway naturally precedes that of paving, but the work of
paving will now be carried on at the same time.
The streetcar track will be of standard gaugo and the steel used of a heavy
grade. The workmen are now on the third block of track. The. franchise
calls for the completion of the road to the University of Oregon campus and
for having the cars in operation by October 1, and the managers of the road
say there is no doubt but that the contract will be carried out.
The paving is to cover seven blocks on Willamette street, extending from
the Southern Pacific depot to Eleventh street, and It is expected that this
work will bo completed by the middle or last of August. The crushed rock
used for this purpose is taken from the back of Skinner's Butte and Is the
columnar basalt, very hard, and will make a splendid foundation for the pave
ment. Property owners on Eighth and Ninth streets liave petitioned for paving
and hope to have the work done while the Wan en Construction Company is
here. The County Court has been asked to pave that part of Eighth street
which runs past the Courthouse and county ground, and they will decide the
matter on July 29. If the county will do this the property owners nave
agreed to pave as far east as Oak street.

WILL ATTEMPT LONG WALK
WESTOX TO COVER 1C 5 6 MILES
IN THIRTY DAYS.
Man Now 6 9 Years Old, Who Per
formed Feat in 1867, Will Try
Again 'Sent October.
Just 40 years ago on Tuesday, October
29, 1867. Edward Payson Weston, the fa
mous pedestrian, started his historic walk
from Portland, Me., to Chicago, 111., In
30 days, which made his name a house
hold word and aroused an Interest in
walking which subsequently, with other
feats of endurance by him, created a
furor In favor of this most exhilarating
exercise. He was then In his 29th year.
Mr. Weston, now in his 69th year, pro
poses to duplicate that performance, and.
If possible, to excel it. It Is an ambition
he has cherished for the past 10 years,
and his present-physical condition makes
him feel very confident of giving the
country an object lesson In what can
be accomplished by an old man after an
abstemious life. His feat of last year,
when he covered the 100 miles between
Philadelphia and the Fifth Avenue Ho
tel In less than 24 hours, was in the na
ture of a preliminary canter, and as a
test proved that the great apostle of
pedestrianlsm had lost none of his abil
ity. Mr. Weston has been making careful
preparations for his great effort. He will
go over the- same route, with the time
table of 40 years ago ever before him.
and at certain points in the tramp he has
prepared several surprises. For instance,
between Buffalo, N. Y., and ' Asfhtabula.
Ohio, there is a fine bit ot road which he
walked In 48 hours. His present Itinerary
provides for covering it in 40 hours .or
better. Mr. Weston will travel as the
apostle of the open-air life and will crowd
his long walk with restful lectures, as
he has already under consideration pro
posals for talks in scores of halls along
the route.
The start will be made from the post
offlce in Portland, Me., at 6 o'clock P. M
on Tuesday, October 29, Just 40 years o
an hour after his previous successful
start. The sehedule calls for a finish at
the postofflce, Chicago. 111., at 2 o'clock
P. M., on Thursday, November 28. As be
does not walk during the 24 hours of each
Sunday, this gives 26 days to cover about
1256 miles, or an average of nearly 50
miles per day. Mr. Weston will be ac
companied by two journalists, his docto
and servant (four persons), who will be
conveyed in an automobile, and in the
performance of this task he will pass
through parts of 10 states and upward
of 300 cities and towns.
FARM HELP'S COMPLAINT
employers Said Not to Bo Humane
Toward Their Workers-
PORTLAND. July 19. (To the Editor.')
By an editorial in last Thursday's Ore
gon Ian, i ae the fact Is deplored that Ore
Kon farmers find it difficult to get help in
putting: up their crops. But, as there Is no
effect without & cause, should we not search
a Uttla deeper than a mere cursory glance
at the cause which produces this effect?
The writer, while laying no claim to
originality, la, nevertheless. In a position to
know enough about the facts of the matter,
from his talking to many laboring men, that
he believes the fault lies mostly. If not' al
together, withthe farmers themselves.. Al
most every day, while traveling: through the
country. I hear some old pioneer walling
the dirge of the "good old days." departed.
When men living side by side wer neigh
bors. It was customary for a crowd to gather
at his place on a Sunday. Then next Bun
day they would all meet somewhere else.
"In th.os' days, one man said, "everybody
wasn't afraM that everybody rle was going
to try-to beat him out of a dollar."
And this applies to the laoorcr on the
farm in this way. The laborer that follows
farmfng. In the mat'ter of education, morals
and independenr, i? far above the "pang"
laborer, taking- the average. Therefore, he
in muf'h mtfro easily "slighted. ' For example
a young man frnm the Eant mmes to Ore
gon, or anywhere else on the Pacific Const,
in search o? work on the farm. He makes
application for the position, and one of the
first questions -asked hhn if: "Have you
got your blanket?" Now, to a man who
was reared anywhere east of Denver, this
question rankles. And the upshot of it is
that the man either goes to the woods, or
on the railroad back home.
But if he looks over the matter of carry
ing his own blankets, and goes out to tho
farm, upon arrival lie is shown a dirty old
bunk house that likely hasn't been cleaned
out for perhaps six months and told to
make his "bed" there.. Hi "bunk" 'is never
rared for in the least. After work Is over
for the day, he must either go to' the extra
trouble of shaking out and making down ills
own bed. or crawl into It as he left It In
the morning. In most places he is allowed
to eat In the house, and some even invltw
him to the family tabic.
One incident came under the writer's per
sonal observation, where two young men
applied for a job on a prune farm. It was
about Jl o'clock A. M. They worked until
noon. When eofiii? back to the house, the
farmer pointed to a tub of water, saying"
"There s wash water, bnys," and he went
into th bouse. After finishing their wasn,
the boys were waiting to be told that "din
ner's ready." Greatly to their surprise, a
Chinese cook ' came out with a pan of
"grub" and set It on a box for them to
help themselves. Now, these young men did
Just as any self-respecting young men
should do. They took the pan of "grub,"
and calling the dog, set It down for him to
eat, and walked away. And still the farmer
thought that they had "worked him for
their dinner.
It is not because the farmers are not able
to do better, because most of them that hire
have big, nice houses, and plenty of spare
room. But there has grown up among them
an aristocracy, that is, a "snobbery." And
until the farmers see it for themselves, and
begin to treat their "hired men" as if they
were men, they will have to expect to lose
some of their crops. They also seem to
think that every stranger they see is going
to try to rob them. Often the remark is
made: "How do we know who we are
hiring? very likely lie Just cam out to
rob us." The man that makes this remark,
probably does pot fear being robbed. But It
shows as well as any other that he considers
himself "above" the people that have to
"work out.' -
In the face of these facts, who can blame
the workman for not wanting to go to a
farm? Under present conditions, if he has
landed in the West without other means
than his labor, he must inevitably become a
"blanket-stiff.'' And he concludes rightly,
too that it is easier to bear in a "gang."
while he is making enough money with
which to go back home. This talk about a
'scarcity ' of labor," and especially farm la
bor. Is all fol-de-rol. At least two-thirds
of our "floatfng population" are men who
understand farm work. Once the farmers
"take a tumble," the "floaters' will be
floaters no more.

Residents of the District Petition
Street Railway Company to Ex
tend Carline to Connection.
With Woodstock Line.
Under the auspices of the Waverly
Richmond Improvement Club the proper
ty owners have inauzurated a system of
improvements that will cost more than
J150.000. At a meeting of the club, at the
home of G. A. Dunham. East Forty-first
and Clinton streets, Friday night, full
reports were received on all matters un
der way. ' Allen R. Joy presided. .
It was announced that Clinton and
Ellsworth streets were both to be im
proved from East Twenty-sixth to East
Fortieth, the former with crushd rock
and the latter with hard surface pave
ment. Before the improvement starts
eight-inch water mains are to be laid
and sewers put down. These mains will
be fed from s!x-lm:ii pipes extending to
the big main on Division street.
It was the Judgment of the club that
the success in securing these water
mains was a hiprhly important gain for
that district, without which other im
provements could not go forward, and
the water committee, Thomas G. Farley,
chairman, was instructed to watch the
matter closely. It was announced that
the only obstacles to laying the main on
Clinton street at once was the accumu
lation of dirt from the new sewer. Tho
sewer contractors will be asked to re
move the dirt.
In tho matter of "opening new streets,
it was announced that 10 streets will be
opened, and that J. S. Foss. G. W". Minor
and V. W. Terry had been appointed
viewers of the entire lot. Tills was con
sidered a great saving in cost. In all
16 streets are to be opened and improved
Just as fast as the City Engineers' office
can prepare the estimates. Practically
all the main streets In the Waverly-Richmond
district between the Section Line
and Powell Valley roads will be im
proved. In the matter of a new schoolliouse for
this growing section. President Joy and
C. A. Walker announced that the Board
of Education had promised that a site
would be secured at ojice and a building
erected next year. The directors had in
formed the committee that it was out of
the question to erect a building in that
portion of the district this year, owing
to the demands coming from other sec
tions. The school committee was in
structed to secure options on available
blocks for a school site without delay.
A. A. Yerex reported concerning ths
double track proposed for Clinton, be
tween East Twenty-sixth to the end of
the line, to the effect that a conference
had been held with Manager Fuller, of
tho Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company, and that he had taken the
matter under consideration. Mr. Terex
said the manager expressed himself as
favorable to this double track, the only
obstacle 'being a shortage of rails.
Another extensive railway change is the
extension of the Waverly-Richmond
track, from its present terminus at East
Forty-first street to a connection with
the Woodstock railway, that now passes
through the Richard Williams tract and
Kenllworth. It was announced that the
former owners of the carline thought fa
vorably of this extension and would have
built it but for the consolidation. Since
consolidation nothing more had been
done in the matter.
The railway committee reported that
Manager Fuller had agreed to investi
gate the extension, and if it was found
feasible It might be undertaken. The ex
tension of the Waverly-Richmond branch
to a connection with the Woodstock
branch would make the former a trunk
line, with a better car service.
Most of the working committees were
reorganized with a view to greater ac
tivity. Meetings are held at the homes

PORTLAND, July 19. fTo the Editor.
In carefully reading evidence ot the charge
of fraud now incubating among the better
classes of men engaged in the wholesale and
retail liquor traffic. 1 am reminded of
Rnhert O. Ingersoll's remark about th
Gref nback party. He said that he as
glad there had been such a party, because
it had made the existence of such a party
unnecessary. In like manner, temperate,
conservative. 1iberty-lovng men and women,
who have long deplored the Intemperate
methods of the Prohibit ionlfit party, begin
to be glad we have had such a party, be
cause it is making the Prohibition party un
necessary. The present movement of the better ele
ment of men engaged in the liquor traffic,
in closing down the lid of the saloon one
day of the week, foreshadows a time. In t.ie
not distant future, when the occupation of
the Prohibition agitator will be- gone. Not
that men will cease raising grain. ' liop,
fruits, or anything else from which intoxi
cants can be made or drunk, but that men
engaged in the traffic, ranging from the
plow to the still, will take the business over
into responsible hands, and provide a way.
compatible with commercial interests, to
remove from the1 purchase and use of liquors
the evils that have bo long accompanied
them.
'The promoters of the traffic, ranging
from the hop and barley fields of the farm,
to the wholesale bouses and tenements of
the city, never fail to deplore the evils
growing; out of the excessive use of intoxi
cants. Opposition to their peculiar occupa
tion has made them stubborn, and has maflu
of them the ae1f-vonciotjs pariahs of soriety.
thus multiplying the evils they formerly
opposed. But they are now cultivating an
antidote, or microbe the politicians and
preachers call it a ltd.
Prohibitionists naturally rejoice, imagining
that final victory for themselves, accom
plished in their way, Is already In sight.
Not so. Reform Is coming, but it will come
through the liquor dealers, who are making
Prohibition unnecessary. The responsible
men connected with th traffic, ranging
from the farm to the warehouse, and from
transportation interests to wholesale and re
tail dealers, are taking the mutter In hand.
They do not want tho drunkard to exist,
as such, any more than we do. They d
not relish vi- and crime any more, than we
do; and. with the beginning -of their own
determination to shut the lid on Sunday
and sit upon It hard, there will be gradually
opened a better way than the uncertain and
thorny paths they have so long been follows
ing through the lower strata of the saloo
propaganda. I
J.ct the pastors of the churches of Port4
land meet and confer with these liquor
men. Let them reason together and reach a
mutual understanding. War to the knif
and the knife to the hilt, is not Christian
warfare. By conferring together they may
help one another to establish and maintain
a sensible medium of operation, Instituting
for the open saloon, or poor man's club, such
regulations and requirements, in conformity
with lowly human needs and undisciplined
human appetites, g will reduce the evils of
Intemperance to the minimum, and yet re

It is Idle to tell such men they can

Men's Christian Association is a good anri
growing substitute, but thero must be an Inp
termediate condition, providing such amuse
ments as the man from the Baloon Is abl
to assimilate, as a beginning. And this sub-'
stltute must be made to pay. To wrap the
cloak of self-righteousness about us, and.
hold ourselves aloof, Is not following the
teachings of our great exemplar.
A word now to the promoters of the liquor
traffic. You have shown your sagacity a
business men and money-makers In shutting
down your "lids Sundays. But no perma
nent reaction, such as you are planning, can
come as a result. The saloon, aa so lone
conducted. Is to be a thing of the past, and
you are bringing about the change of your
own volition. But the uncertainties of your
business, and the agitatiqn engendered
thereby, will never cease so long as yon
oppose the free and full enfranchisement of
the mothers of men. In the four states
where women vote, the Prohibition move-,
ment has died a natural death because the
conditions that fostered It have been with
drawn. In the three Prohibition states the
agitation is not abated, nor is equal suffrage
possible, being prohibited by the worst form
of Prohibition possible.
