True Story of Young Man Who
Sought Employment at
Y. M. C. A. Bureau. :
SAW INSIDE OF MANY JAILS
Always AVillins to Work, but Jobs
Hard to Find, and No Word of
Encouragement Until He
cached This City.
Many are the stories of liow men came
to loe their jobs, which are told to J. V.
Guthrie, of the employment department
of the Y. M. C. A., but a record of search
ing lor the work not often found came
to his attention when a fine-appearing
young fellow of 26 stepped up to the
counter and told of his experiences since
leaving Iowa.
The young man, who will be named
Mr. Adams, was a stenographer, form
erly employed by a large firm at Sioux
Cily, la. He was thrown out of employ
ment last year. Within a few days of his
discharge his roommate robbed him and
left the city. As a result Adams' trunk
was taken by the landlord to pay for the
room rent and board bill of the two.
After looking about in town for some
time he was told by his friends that men
were wanted in the harvest field, so he
found employment on a ranch,- earning
about JSO. But his sister wanted to get
married, and like a good brother he
sent her nearly all of his earnings, ex
pecting that he could hold his place on
the farm. When the work grew scarce he
found himself without money and out of
a job.
Makes AVay to Coast.
Adams next beat his way into Mon
tana, and worked on the railroad from
October 1 to November 15, not, however.
In a position where he could put to use
his stenographic talent. He found he
could meet his expenses very well until
the railroad camps shut down, when he
was again forced to take to the road,
beating his way to Lind, Wash. Here he
worked in a restaurant for a short time,
going later to Clelan, Wash., and thence
to Seattle.
It was early on a Saturday morning
when he found himself in the city on
the Sound, and the time for the midday
meal which was wanting had not rolled
around before Adams found himself in
the .custody of a uniformed officer car
rying a "billy" club, who escorted him to
tiie police station. He remained In the
tank from Saturday night until Monday
morning, his clothing by that time being
well filled with vermin. In the Municipal
Court a number of other prisoners in
similar plight, he said in telling his
story, were sent to work upon the road
for 30 days because they were out of
work. But Adams was released on con
dition that he would leave town within
four days.
Not knowing where else to go, and
continually being told to "move on."
Adams went to Tacoma and thence to
Centralta. There he secured a bed
overnight from the Chief of Police, and
was told to leave town. At Chhalls
he found the Jail so crowded that there
was no more room, according to his
story, so he slept In the hay in a livery
stable overnight. Then he jumped a
train for Kalama, and endeavored to
get assistance or work through the.
Kalama police, but was refused. He
says he slept under a boiler in a rail
road pump-house that night, because it
was o cold, and In the morning Jumped J
a frelgnt coming to t-ornana.
Gets Assistance Here.
But his troubles were not ended, for
he was spotted by a young policeman
of Gritzmacher's staff ana taken to jail,
where he pleaded hunger and weari
ness and was given a ticket to get a
meal and a bed by the Chief. Then the
Y. M. C. A. secured employment for
blra In a restaurant, and assistance was
also furnished by the City Board of
Charities.
Employment Secretary Guthrie re
ceived a communication several days
ago from a woman In the East who
was afraid her boy, who was in Port
land, would commit suicide If he could
not find work, and begging the Y. M.
C. A. to look him up and lend him as
sistance. The Y. M. C. A. is a clearing-house
for the unemployed and those who are
looking for the right kind of help, par
ticularly clerical workers. Between 30
and 40 men apply every day, according
to Mr. Guthrie, and in the majority of
cases are located in positions.
ASIATICS AS LABORERS
Necessary for Farms and Fruit In
dustry. Says Mr. Lowiisdale.
LA FATETTK, Or.. Jan. 25. (To the Edi
tor. The many friends of Senator John 'M.
Gearin. throuchout the farming: communi
ties of the State, regret exceedingly to note
that he has identified himself with the
movement to exclude Asiatic laborers from
thin country.
Senator Gearin is the son of a farmer
and should appreciate the needs of all in
dustrial operations carried on in farming;
communities. We who have known Senator
Oearln since boyhood cannot believe that
he has deliberately abandoned the Indus
trial classes of the rural districts and has
V ecome convinced that their needs are of
minor importance and must be overridden
In the interest of labor unions. Nor do we
for a moment class our old friend with those
acrobatic politicians who pose before the
"laboring classes" for the courting of votes.
Such motives are not to be attributed to
John M. Gearin. I prefer to think that he
ha given his influence to the movement In
his usual good-natured fashion, without ma
ture consideration of the status of rural
industries. Surely he has not stopped to
reflect upon the fact that there has never
been a demand for the exclusion of Asiatic
laborers, except from certain labor unions
In the cities. The farming communities,
the growers of fruit and all tillers of the
soil have at all times felt the need of these
laborers, but until recent years have indo
lently allowed blatant agitators In the cit
ies to whip politicians into line and force
restrictive legislation.
I would like to bring to Senator Gearln's
attention a few suggestions upon this labor
problem. The first Question is: Shall the
labor unions of the cities dictate the indus
trial doUct of the country to the Injury,
to the paralysis and perhaps to the ruin
of farming communities? That they have
been allowed to do so thus far fs the crime
of the politician and the shame of thought
less. Indolent farmers who should, long
ago, have asserted their right to consider
ation. During the last three years, all the farm
ing districts along the Pacific Coast bave
suffered grievously for the lack of avail
able labor. Vast areas have been devel
oped recently by a marvelous extension of
all farming operations. These developments
are . constantly demanding increased num
bers of laborers laborers upon whom de
pend not only the extension of these in
dustries, but their very existence. In' the
fruit business- a lona there Is a cry for
hundreds of thousands of laborers. Mil
lions of trees have recently been planted
West of the liocky Mountains, and are an
nually being planted by the, million. Where
can we get the labor to care lor them ?
Can Senator Gearin or the mbor unions of
the cities supply us, if called upon to do
so? Will the members of these unions go
into our fields or our orchards and do our
work at any wage? It has never been a
question of cheap labor with us. But we
demand a condition by which we can get
our work done and at any reasonable cost.
We have not been able during the past
three years to get It done at any price.
Our experience shows that white men will
not do this class of work, except In times
of stress like the present. During the past
17 years the 'average wage paid to white
men employed in my orchard has been a
trifle over $14. The white roan works until
he gets enough to pay his fare to another
stopping place and we see him no mora.
Under no circumstances of good treatment
and for no wage will he continue at this
class of work. No labor unionist of the
cities la ever seen in an orchard or on afb.
ordinary farm unless some unusual finan
cial stringency like the present robs him
of all chance of employment elsewhere.
Senator. Gearin can well imagine the an
swers we would receive, were we to ask the
labor unions h champions to send u labor
ers. A single example of the crying need of
a satisfactory answer to our" demand that
labor unions and their advocates like Sena
tor Gearin give us the laborers we need,
can be found in the fact that I left ap
proximately 20,000 boxes of apples in my
orchard two years ago, because I could not
get help to care -for them. Prunegrowers
lost immense quantities of fruit for the
same reason. Wheatgrowers and all tillers
of the soil In Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia suffered in like manner. With the In
creased demand for laborers that the un
precedented development of these states wilt
create in the near future, we see before us
a desolate picture of Industrial paralysis, of
stricken homes whence haggard eyes peer
out into the vast of ruin.
We demand conditions by which we can
secure a sufficient number of laborers upon
whom we can rely to perform the necessary
operations that white labor will not under
take laborers that will enable us to save
our perishable crops that are worth millions
of dollars in the markets of the world. This
class of labor which attends to the rough
est work In the primary routines of the
fruit industry, for instance, will only pre
pare the way for white labor to perform the
more grateful proceesea at a much higher
wage, and will compete in no sense with
such skilled labor. All these operations are
totally distinct, and neither class can inter
fere or compete with the other for neither
will do the other's work.
But if it comes to a. choice between the
labor unions, the agitators In the cities
and the great rural industries of this Pacific
Coast, there can be but one answer as to
which should receive first consideration.
The greatest good, to the greatest number.
Where would the labor pinions and their
advocates; where would the business men of
Portland and of all the Coast cities; where
would the great newspapers like The Ore-'
gonian be, if rural industries be paralysed?
If their output be restricted to the produc
ing capacity of an Individual owner? If the
farmers, if the fruitgrowers and their co
workers who have millions of dollars, who
have their whole fortunes invested in these
legitimate undertakings, be pressed over the
brink and Into ruin? Labor unions and law
yers might swap jackknlves a while with
merchants and newspaper men, but not for
long, gentlemen, not for long.
There haa been no trustworthy evidence
that the presence of Asiatics, before the
Chinese exclusion law was enacted, ever
Injured the industrial status of the labor
In the cities. On the other hand, it Is com
mon knowledge that the Chinese were of
vest benefit to the farmers of the Pacific
Coast States, On this Coast we derive no
benefit from the Immigration from Europe.
The best of that Influx is absorbed along
the Eastern seaboard or in. the Middle or
Western States. Such as come to us will no
more till our fields than the white labor
already here, and Is as undesirable h the
matter of citizenship as ar ethe Asiatics.
(Senator Gearin lays great stress on the fact
that we cannot assimilate the Asiatics into
our social and political systems. In the
name of all that is holy, does he want to
assimilate the Greeks and the other scums
of Southeastern Europe that come to us in
ever-increasiag hordes, utterly indifferent to
our work, to our plans of life and to our
Institutions? God forbid.
As I have pointed out, the opposition to
the admission of Chinese and Japanese lab
orers is found only in the cities of this
Coast, it is prompted for the most part by
agitators who are themselves aliens and Is
supported by people who do not understand
the dire need of the rural districts. . I am
not an admirer of the Japanese people. I
have contended at all times that Americans
were foolish to pat Japs on the back during
the recent war. We will have to teach them
a lesson some day. Nor are we in favor of
an unrestricted Immigration of these people.
But I feel that the time has come when we
must demand that all exclusion laws be so
modified that Chinese and Japanese labor
ers may be admitted in sufficient numbers
to enable us to do our work. Let there be
proper restrictions as to number and neces
sary sanitary qualifications, but we want
our work done. The presence of these peo
ple is absolutely necessary to the perpetuity
of the tarming industries of all states west
of the Rocky Mountains.
This otatement applies with overwhelm
ing force to the fruit industry of the pacific
Coast and should not be idly considered, for
It is not idly made. The present depression
by which we are enabled to secure all the
help we want will pass b be succeeded by
what: M. O. LOWNSDALE.
NON - TRAINING ATHLETICS
Christian Science Denies Teaching
"Holding of Thoughts."
PORTLAND. Jan. 25, (To th. Editor.)
It is believed that the news article headed.
"Athlete a Winner Without Training." pub
lished in last Sunday's Oregonlan. might
cause some misapprehension as to the teach
ing and practice of christian Science, and
I wiBh to make correction of some of the
statements made.
Harry P. Porter, of the Irish-American
Athletlo Club, is reported to have found it
unnecessary to train for athletic events and
to have "concentrated his rrflnd on winning
the high Jump." stating that he considered
this the "best method of making a- show
ing." The Christian Scientist, In the present
stage of his understanding and development,
would naturally be under the same necessity
of a proper preparation for an athletic
event, as he would for the study and prac
tice of music in the competition for a
musical scholarship, or the exercise of men
tal activity in the pursuit of education.
The careful student of Christian Science
learns through the application of its rules
in practical everyday life, whether It be In
athletics or business, that he reaches the
highest attainments only as he Is guided
alone by divine mind, God. Reliance in the
power of God enables him to do all things
better, but because Christian Science Is the
power of universal and Impartial Good, ap
plied, It cannot be directed to the fulfill
ment of ny selfish ends or personal ambi
tion. .
It has often been explained that Christian
Science does not teach nor advocate "con
centration" or the "holding of thoughts."
and nowhere In its authorized literature can
reference to any such methods or practice be
found. It does, however, turn man to the
recognition, contemplation and adoption of
that "mind which was also In Christ Jesus"
the mind which is God. the mind which
cannot be humanly concentrated. In propor
tion as man understands and demonstrates
the dominion of this Christ mind, are the
limitations of his finite capacity removed,
but only to accomplish unselfish ends.

"SCENERY" JNTHE SENATE
Piatt and Depew Say Nothing and
Do Xothing.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Jan. 23. A recent magazine arti
cle on the United States Senate de
scribed the occupants of the front seats
as "scenery." The word was well chosen
as to most of those so designated, but it
did not include all the "scenery" there
is in the Senate. The State of New York
is represented by nothing more than
"scenery." Its two Senators, Tom Piatt
and Chafiheey Depew, are as inactive as
any men In the entire Congress,, and
quite as useless.
They do . nothing; they say nothing;
they have no influence on legislation,- In
the appointment ot Important state offi
cials they are not even consulted. Bach
has a limited amount of "scrub" patron
age In Washington, and these few posi
tions they guard zealously, but beyond
filling these few offices Depew and Piatt
are as dead as the settings on any the
atrical stage.

EARLY SEASOX FOR STEAMERS
Telegraph Will Go Into Commission
About March 1.
The steamer Telegraph will be placed
In commission about March 1 and will
operate on a daily schedule between Port
land and Astoria. This will be the earliest
that the Telegraph has gone into com
mission, but the open Winter and the de
mands of the traveling public bave con
vinced Captain Scott that the opening of
the Spring is the proper time to start the
Telegraph.
The Summer excursion season will not
be on until some time in May, as the
weather seldom settles sufficiently to
make a day on the river agreeable before
that time. As is usual, the Bailey Gat
zert will go in commission for Sunday
runs as soon as the. weather will permit.
The Charles B, Spencer will run to The
Dalies, and it is probable that the Tele
phone will operate between Portland and
the Cascades. '
HOOHE CHARTERED FOR GRAIX
French Bark. Taken at 2 7 Shillings,
6 Pence, tor Loading.
The French bark Hoche, Captain Ramet,
which arrived at Honolulu January IS
with general cargo from Hamburg, has
been chartered for outward loading of
wheat from Portland at 27s 6d. The ves
sel is for early March loading, and will
proceed to the United Kingdom or the
Continent.
Chartering has been fairly lively during
the past two weeks, but the majority of
the fixtures were for distant loading. The
Hoche is practically close in, and by the
time she is ready for cargo there will be
a demand for close tonnage.
Arabia Has Heavy Cargo.
The steamship Arabia, of the Portland
& Asiatic Steamship Company, will com
plete her outward cargo and be ready to
sail by tomorrow night. The Arabia will
carry upward of 60,000 barrels of flour.

WOULD ENGLAND GIVE AID?
Interest In Japanese Treaty In Case
of War. "
LONDON, Jan. 25. (Special.) If Sir
Edward Grey is not too oppressed with
responsibility to make it possible for
him to address a public meeting, It
would obviously be a very good thing
for him to make a statement 'as to
whether, In the event of hostilities be
tween the United States and Japan,
England would feel bound under the
Lansdowne-Balfour treaty to take sides
with Japan. In the original treaty the
alliance was strictly limited to the
maintenance of the integrity of China
and Manchuria and the defense of
Great Britain's Indian possessions. The
revised treaty has a more extended
scope, and many jurists of repute in
terpret it as imposing on Great Britain
the obligation to support Japan against
the United States.
It is plain that tn the United States
the disposition and intentions of Great
Britain in such a contingency as that
mentioned are being very directly
questioned. The tone and action of the
English press and financial Institutions
during the recent Wall-street scare had
already left a disagreeable impression
in America, so that this Japanese prob
lem ir being discussed from rather a
disillusioned point of view.
The Times the other day opened a
discussion on the two-power standard
for the navy tin the hypothesis that the
United States and some other power
might be found opposed to Great Bri
tain. Now is the moment for Sir Ed
ward Grey to give some proof of that
firmness and foresight with which he
has been so long credited. '
TOO MANY LAWS PASSED
Ambassador Bryce Addresse Bar
Association on Legislation.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. British Am
bassador 'James Bryce addressed the
State Bar Association at a meeting
in Carnegie Half last night. The Am
bassador dwelt upon the form and sub
stance of the ever Increasing volume

' In no country, said Mr. Bryce, is the

Don't Fail to Read Every
Word of the Following:
EVEN IF OTHERS HAVE
FAILED TO CURE YOU
Do you feel that your manly strength Is
slipping away? Are you weak, nervous, fret
ful and gloomy, have pains and aches in
different parts of the body, your sleep dis
turbed, weak back, headache, despondenry,
melancholia, palpitation of the heart, unable
to concentrate your thoughts, poor memory,
easily fatigued, specks before the eyes, aver
sion to society, lack of ambition, will power
depleted, diszy spells, vital losses, poor cir
culation, feel cold, lifeless and worn out,
Tirlmariiy induced in many cases through
e.biises, excesses, overwork, etc.? If so, then
I warn you. Do not delay longer.
The methods I devised twenty years agro for
treating men's diseases proved a radical step
in medical science. Those methods have en
abled me to cure diseases that were formerly
regarded as incurable. In working out my
methods. I held the theory that "WEAK
NESS," for instance, was not a constitutional
or functional ailment, but a prostatic affec
tion, and therefore, merely local. I reasoned
that its constitutional effects were simply
the results of a tremendous waste of energy
(!iie to inflammation of the prostate gland:
that this being true, a local treatment could
alone effect a cure. Thereupon I devised the
treatment T employ today with such marked
success. Indeed, I have never known this
treatment to fail to effect a complete and
permanent cure in a comparatively short
time.
No Man Need Be Weak
My treatment for other diseases peculiar to men Is also along orfglnal
lines and is equally successful. Hence I reiterate that no man need be
WEAK or AILING. My Special Treatment is an open door to manly
vigor and all the pleasures that belong to perfect health. Any man
may avail himself of my services. It has been and Is my life's work to
aid afflicted men. alleviate their sufferings and restore them to health
and vigor. I have therefore placed the charge for my services within
the easy reach of any man, no matter what his circumstances. To
PROVK my confidence; In the results of my treatment, and as in act
of good faith, I WILL. WAIT FOR MY FEB UNTIL, YOU ARE CURED.
No man could be fairer than that. I take all the risk. You take none
whatever. You bave everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose.
Delay Is Dangerous
Men whose vitality is exhausted, those who have some private disease
or weakness lurking in their system, and who are prematurely old,
while still young In years broken down wrecks of what they ought to
be, and who want to be strong and to feel as vigorous as they did before
they wasted their strength, to enjoy life again, to win back the vim,
vigor and vitality lost, should consult with me before It is too late.
My Direct-Method Treatment Offers a
Positive Cure for Every Ailing Man
I Cure "Weakness"
"WeakneasJ" Is not a nervous disorder, demanding tonic ystero of treatment, but
im merelv & symptom of chronic lnflammatton or congestion In the proatate gland.
This condition exists as a result of early dissipation or some Improperly treated
contracted disorder, and requires carefully directed local measures only. By my
own original methods the prostate gland Is quickly restored to its normal state,
which results in full and complete return of strength and vigor. My cures are
permanent because the condition responsible for the functional disorder la entirely
removed, and I am eonvtneed that by no treatment other than my own carefully
directed local measures Is a radical cure of this ailment possible.

ly exaggerated. Safety demands an absolutely thorough cura in the least possible
time. I have treated more cases of contracted disorders than any other physician
