THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. MAY 31, 190S. V FW5I GROW BmW YOUNG Mffl (JAMES JLvUCK, IN FVLfLf POSSESION pK Hlv? FACU1TIE3 , AND STl JAj IN LOVE WITH LIFE. BY MS. S. C. SINFOBD. HAT have you done wun mc 30 years that lie between your real and your apparent age. and how do you account for your health, visor and enjoyment of lifer" were the questions recently put to James Luck of Forest Grove. "Luck lias always attended me." was the laughing rejoinder of this sturdy, well-groomed gentleman of 93. who, without walking stick or spectacles, was spending a Spring afternoon mak ing social calls. Born In 1815. in Suffolk County, Eng land, just three months before the battle of Waterloo, he remembers that the mothers held up Napoleon's sol diers as the bogle-men to keep their children nr home. Ho was 5 years old when -George IV was crowned king. Kobert Peel and the Iron liuke were making history while lie played among the odorous hedgerows of that rural land, whose rustic loveliness and charm of splen did antiquity never lose their hold upon the hearts of her children. He attended the coronation ceremonies of William IV when he was 15. At the time tit Victoria's accession he was engaged in the milling business, a young man of ii. W hen lie emigrated to this coun try in 1859 there was. Just one rail road in all Ungland. which ran between Manchester and London. He was eight weeks crossing the Atlantic. Martin Van Buren was wrestling wit" the financial problem, bequeathed to him by Jackson, when the young man reached these shores, and his Eng lish conservatism took him into the Whig party. He cast his first ballofcrfor Zachafy Taylor In 1848. Ten years' res idence here before exercising the fran chise made him a valuable citizen. At the breaking up of the Whig party he at his lot with the Tlemocrats. He greatly admires President Roosevelt, however. He married a New England girl and resided a short time in NewYork, but, being seized with the Western fever, he moved to Oconomowoc, Wis., where he purchased a farm, intending to till the soil, but when his neighbors found that he was a miller, they induced him to go into the milling business, which he followed 40 years. At the age of "5 he retired from active business. When his only child married John E. Bailey, a loading merchant of Forest Grove, he came West and now resides ' with them. At 90 years of age he, with a party of friends, made the ascent .if Mount Hood to a point some dis tance below the summit. He is a reader; takes five papers and carries on quite an extensive corre spondence: is conversant with the poets, Tennyson being his favorite. But he is at his best when he is de scribing rural England. He has al ways been a lover of birds; spent much nf ills childhood watching and protect ing them. As he described the flight nf the skylark, rising from "where the rarth is kissed with the sweet per fumes of nature and the air caressed with song." one could understand, some what, Shelley's perfect sonnet. This climate of Western Oregon is so similar to that of England that Mr. Luck felt at home here f i bm the first, enjoying the roses and the outdoor life. Reared an Episcopalian, lie remains staunch to that church; but as his Real Meaning of It Symbolizes Principles That BY J. L. JONES. THERK are only four primary prin ciples in the universe. A knowledge of this fact would go far to sim plify science, to facilitate Investigation, and restrain tho misuse of words. These principles are the foundations of the true civilization yet to be created. True social science, as yet unwritten, is based on these. They are the principles of re ligion as well as of law. . They are the secrets of hygiene and medicine. Thoy constitute the tree of life, and their leaves are for the healing of the nations. These four principles are Truth. Jus tice, Love and Wisdom, symboliied by the Sign of the Cross. Justice Is at the top. Truth at the bottom, and the arms are Love and Wisdom. The cross ia the skeleton form of a tree, as well as of a man. It Is the sign of alchemy or trans mutation. It is the Key of St. Peter that opens the secrets of heaven and earth. Peler means rock.' Foundation means that which is poured. Rocks are poured like water. They are lafgely composed of gas. Concrete or cement foundations are made as human bodies are made by pour ing things solid and liquid together. The foundations of wisdom are discovered by portng over the secrets of nature. ach of these principles has its oppo site, and there are all degrees of perver sion and corruption in reaching the oppo site extremity. .Degree means a step down. It is degradation through division and descent. The absolute truth and life Is above degrees. Absolute Is the oppo site of dissolute, which means broken up or dissolved. Absolute means Indivisible and inseparable. It Is unity. The cross Is the sign of peace; but in verted, point upwards,- it becomes the sword, the sign of war. The perversion of tho principles of truth, justice, love and wisdom causes war, dissension, divi sion, disorder, disease and death. Their application in uprightness is the cure for all evils and the absolution from all sin. The mystic virtue attributed in the Middle Ages to the sign of the cross and the sprinkling of holy water are not without foundation in facts that are literal be yond the dreams of the most extravagant idealist. In the mortal humanity, the principle of love is perverted. The first command ment forbids this perversion. The highest love is the love of truth, justice and wis dom. This is the path to perfection and Immortality. The inferior loves are for sensual pleasures and material posses sions. Of course, people should have ma terial possessions, and God is not too beg garly to provide, i'here is abundance for all, but they turn the banquet into a tight, like dogs over bones. They injure and destroy. They prevent one another. The commandments of God, which are the laws of social order - and economy, are all violated. Till the people get to understand these primary principles and till they keep the commandments, there can be only disorder and consequent pun ishment. The way of the transgressor is hard. Transgress means to run across. To run across these laws is like running Into a buzi-saw. They are vibrations of ether and they cut, consume and destroy. Tho unity of truth, justice, love and wisdom constitute good in the absolute.. This la a scientific religion. God alone is good. Alone means In oneness or A ' . U ' - "i V JAMES LUCK AS HE LOOKS daughter has embraced Christian Science, he has built a pretty cottage in the residence portion of the little town and thrown the lower floor into an audience room, which is cozily fur nished. Here Sunday morning's assem bles a congregation. The genial loving spirit of home seems to pervade the room, especially when this hale 93-year young man is present. He who has provided this quiet peaceful spot, where the weary and the faint may bide an hour, with no thought' of un paid salaries or church debt to disturb the peace and serenity, may feel that his presence has the beneficent influ ence of a benediction. What greater . success could , one wish? To have been a good citizen, a producer, doing his share in the work-a-day world; to have lived so simply that at his advanced age he possesses a good digestion, good eyesight, strength of limb, and beyond all else, good mem ory and interest in -the affairs of life; to have so loved his children that they are constant in their love for and devo tion to him; to be so agreeable that he is ever an interesting companion, to have been and to have done alt this is to have attained success indeed! The following lines seem especially apt Sign of the Cross Are Fundamentals in Society. unity. There is only one God and one God in the absolute, as there is only one, form for a circle or sphere or square. And there cannot be any absolute good or perfection short of the unity of these four principles, for the lack of any one of them would be imperfection. But there are gods Innumerable In the inferior degrees, in the dissolution and division of the one. -'-The mortal human ity comes through this .dissolution and division. This is the fall of man. Man descends from the gods through degener ation. Man could not descend from a monkey unless the monkey was originally superior to a man. God is not a fool. He is a great sci entist. Mortal men cannot fool him. They axe fools and he knows it. He is loving and wise. He is true and Just. He does not run after sinners personally to punish them like a mother after her disorderly offspring. The laws of nature are fixed intelligently and act automatic ally so that they catch the offenders 'a goin 'and a-coming'.. The fool killer will surely find his own and the devil get his due. Divine Justice is perfectly perfect. It is quite constitutional. It is fixed in the nature of things and rooted in the heart of the universe. It is different from the laws made by men. God punishes transgressors by permit ting . them to make laws to govern one another and so they torture one another and make life as burdensome as possible. They become unconsciously the agents for punishing themselves for their own greed and dishonesty. The word principle should not be used carelessly. It Is a name that should not be taken in vain. For Instance, we hear people speak of the principle of protec tion. Protection is not a principle at all. It Is a policy. Liberty is not a principle.- It is a condition. The word prin ciple is derived from princeps. prince, and that from primus, first. A principle is a primary creative impulse emanating from the source of being. But. as trees divide into branches, similarly a great many properties, qual ities, states and conditions may be spoken of as principles In a derivative or subordinate sense, but we. should not forget to- relate them back to their ori gin in these four primary ones so as to preserve the conception of unity. Corresponding to these four principles, there is another set of laws in the physi cal world which constitutes the framework or skeleton of all physical sciences, and these are so related together that no. sci ence can be understood perfectly with out knowing its relation to all others. Just as we cannot understand the geography of any country without knowing the place of that country on the map of the world. The Creator reveals himself througn his works, and these can only be understood In the light of those laws of correspond ence that radiate from unity of person, of design and of purpose. Tbe body social corresponds to the personal body and on the operation of the functions of the nat ural body are based tbe activities of mind and spirit. There is a relation between physiology and psychology and political economy of such intimacy that no one of these can be understood if isolated from tbe others. The word economy is a Greek com pound that means the law of the house hold. Church Is a corruption of Greek words that mean the house of the Lord. There is a house involved in each word. The body of a man is a visible house or temple walking round on legs. The body of society is easier to imagine than to de scribe. Is has many beads and many arms and is represented by innumerable symbols. We cannot separate religion from poll tics and understand either intelligently, for there are not two kinds of religion. ' 4 AT THE AGE OF 93 YEARS. to close this sketch, .for they will appeal to many who are spending the evening of their lives in this equable climate: Growing Old Gracefully. Softly, oh! softly, the years have swept by thee; f Sorrow and care did they often bring nigh thee. Tet they have left thee but beauty to wear. Growing old cracefully. Gracefully fair. Past all the winds that were adverse and chiUinjr;- Past all the islands that lured thee to rest; Past all the currents that moved thee un willing. Far from tlje port of the land of the blest. Growing old peacefully. Peacefully- and blest. Never a feeling- of envy or sorrow, Where the bright facet? of children are seen. Never a year from their youth would'at thou borrow. Thou dost remember what lleth between. Growing 'old willingly. Gladly, I ween! Rich in experience that angels might covet. Rich fn k fate that has grown in thy years; Rich in the love that grew from and above It; Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy fears. Growing old wealthily, Lqrving and dear. Forest Grove. Or., May 27. , " one for ' Sunday and another for week days. Justice is a Latin word and right eousness a Saxon word, and both mean the same, thing. Personal righteousness Is not different from civic righteousness. Justice is not variable. It is absolute. The Sign of the Cross is a combination of four squares radiating from a center. The Cross is the golden rule in morals and business, just as the square is the mechanics and masonry. A square is not a square unless it is absolute. A pair of scales la not correct unless it is abso lute. And in the scales (the symbol of justice) we have the sign of the cross again. When the beam hangs absolutely at right angles to the upright, then the balance Is true and the judgment just Christ was the great1 carpenter and the head of the order of Masons. He knew the rules of the cross and the square. He knew the meaning of a square deal. He could build the temple of his own immor tal body and on the same model and by the same rules and laws he is yet to build the temple of humanity. The laws of ethics are as absolute as the laws of mechanics, and these laws are formulat ed in the ten commandments. Christ did not come to abolish the Ten Commandments, but to fulfill them and make it possible for men to keep them in the spirit as well as In the letter. He did come to abolish the cer emonies and mummeries and sacrifices, that only symbolized and dimly indi cated the true laws, but did not reveal their actual meaning. No wonder that Catholics honor the cross. If they understood it better, they would honor it more. If we all understood the principles symbolized by the sign of the cross, we would all be good Catholics and good citizens. Catholic means universal. These prin ciples are universal. They are the laws of cosmic order in humanity, cor responding to similar laws in the phys ical world. "In hoc slgno vinces" is the statement of an absolute truth, for by that sign we shall conquer all the Ills of life. The foregoing statements apply only to the square cross. In which each of the angles Is a right angle. The cross Is so constructed that If any one angle is right they must all be right, and if any one ia not right tney are all wrong. The square cross is the sign (plus) which signifies addition or betterment. The other cross Is the sag- of the bal ance. It Is the sign of the"crosslng of breeds, of adultery and adulteration of the multiplication of sects and fac tions and fads through the division and disintegration of truth. It means dissension-, disunity and disorder. It is used in crossing out, marking off, rejecting, culling out. In the form of the crossbones accompanied by the death's head It is the sign of deafn and destruction. In the latter cross the angles are not square. It is made like the letter "X." Macaroni Eating as a Fine Art DIDST ever eat macaroni, Italian style? Say, It's great! They serve It on,a platter that would be two feet square if it wasn't round. It greatly resembles Medusa's head on a, platter. It looks like snakes, but it isn't. You eat it with fork, spoon, knife, fingers, face, chopsticks or scissors, as you prefer. In the real Italian style it comes In strings. Macaroni originally was invented to be fed through a keyhole. The strings are of indeterminate length. 'Any good Italian could start masticating a piece (the other end of which was on top of the Masonic Temple) and finish within 73 seconds. A boa constrictor could eat a string of macaroni if he were long enough. It's an art. That's all there is to it. But that isn't all there Is to it. Some peo ple say It Is an acquired art others in sist that you must be to the manner born. Some say the Italians have reels inside and there may' be something in this, for they eat as though feeding a machine by machinery. No one has ever dared to measure the length of a single strip of macaroni; like the population and circumference of the world, it has to be estimated. Estimates differ, but . all admit that it is long enough except the dyed-in-the-wool Ital ians. A dish of macaroni, Italian style, con sists of one of these strings festooned in Imitation of the Gordian knot. Some cut the Gordian knot, others absorb it. The absorption process may not be the most elegant, but it sfrrely is the most general. Gentle reader, if you are ever led up to a platter of macaroni. Italian style, and find ell the exits closed, grit your teeth and go at the thing with firm determina tion and a timber fork. Gently decoy the left end of the string on your fork and begin to wind. Rotate the fork vigorously for some four minutes in the right hand and then transfer to the left. Then when the wad has assumed the size of a 10-cent spool of darning cotton, open your mouth with-your fingers and punch it in. A convenient way for the amateur to consume the dish it to get some kind friend to find the end of Jhe string. Once having discovered this, distinguish it with a bit of red silk ribbon. Then look for the other end. If not- found within 15 minutes, ask the waiter's assist ance. . When the end is reached your pace of engulfing the string will have increased so that probably the end will slip into you unnoticed. But do not let this worry you. Tou have foufld the end even if you have lost it. Look at your plate! It is empty! Aha! at lest you have accomplished the gentle art of absorbing macaroni. Finally the Worm Turned- . A muscular Irishman strolled into the Civil Service examination room, where candidates for the police force- are put to a physical test. "Strip." ordered the police surgeon. "What's that?" demanded ; the unin itiated. "Get- your clothes off, and be quick about It," said the doctor. . The Irishman disrobed and permitted the doctor to measure his chest and legs and to pound his back. "Hop over this bar," ordered the doctor." ' The man did his best, landing on his back. - , . "Now, doubl up your knees and touch the floor with your- hands. He sprawled, face downward, on the floor. He was Indignant but silent. "Jump ' under this cold shower," ordered the doctor. "Sure, that's funny!" muttered the applicant. . "Now, run around the room 10 times to test your heart and wind' directed the doctor. The candidate rebelled. "111 not; Til sthay single." "Single?" asked the doctor, sur prised. "Sure," said the Irishman; what's all tnis fussing got to do with a marriage license?" . He had strayed into the wrong office. Illustrated Bits. A Little Bit o' Scotch. New York Sun. At a dinner in New York Dr. Charles F. Aked. of the Fifth-avenue Baptist Church, illustrated with a story the harm of church controversies. "There was an Argyleshire elder," said Dr. Aked, "whom I asked one day in London how his kirk was getting along. 'Aweel. said he, 'we had 400 members. Then we had a division and there were only 200 left. Then came a disruption and only ten remained. Then we had a heresy trial and now there's only me and my brither Dugald left, and I have great. dooLs of Dugald's orthodoxy." It ha" now been decided that th Prince of Wales and his entourage will not re main on board ship In the St. Lawrence during their visit to Quebec, but will stay at the citadel, the residence of the Governor General, where Earl Grey and Ms staff will also reside. WILL BE FINEST HOTEL IN San Francisco 5 TfJS-i"! - SAN FRANCISCANS, and all Califor nians. for that matter, look upon the rebuilding of the Palace Hotel as being the ocular demonstration of tjie rebuild ing of San Francisco. The historic hos telry is so interwoven with the life of the old San Francisco that it seemed really an integral part of the municipal ity. So well was the old Palace Hotel built that it required six months' time and the expenditure of J90.000 in cash to remove the ruined walls so that the site could be ready for the new building. ; :ii W l Jill iilillfiioB" r " un If! u-a "ccv rl':'& v k$ LAv -':-: ZZ j.fLLl. a t w-yat, w t. ib. ....... . ......... j-Mto. .,.,.,.:. ..llMflirriv,.v--. v.....v.-nv . -g .mmm, -ghiWiiiniiiHiiSf' riByrr ' nm.'Tmi th 'r nr rf Object of the Shall the to Earn a BY E. P. ROSBXTHAU THE object of tlie Fields and Work shops Society ia: To select fami lies from the congested districts of our cities, and to help hardy immigrants who flock to our shores to locate on farms. Every reader of current litera ture or the daily press faces constant public recognition of the fact that the conditions now festering in our political. Industrial and social Jife threaten, every republican Institution and put civilization itself upon trial. Every propaganda of social disorder finds Its converts among those to whom the gates of opportunity seem forever closed, or who are buried In abject pov erty. There can be no morality to conquer the cravings of a hungry stomach. To legislate against nature Is more than folly. To do that is to bark at Justice. Like a beast, he who is hungry will steal, rob, and even your life Is. at the mercy against 'his hunger. And although the question is being daily asked, as to what is to be done, no one is offering any solu tion that is in any way commensurate with the need; yet an adequate solution must soon be offered If free men and free Institutions ' are to endure. These people must be led out of social darkness into the sunlight of physical comfort and well-being. Human sympathy must have something to offer.. The hungry stomach must be filled. There are two ways by which it can be done the right way and the wrong way. There Is no alternative; one of these two ways you must take. Choose, then, for choose you must. Support him or let him support himself which? . Build alms houses, feed him .there; build . prisons, feed him there, or give, him the oppor tunity and his own labor will provide, for his needs. Cast your vote which? Right or wrong which? Happiness or misery which? Charity or Justice-which? . Bless ings or curses which?' " Opportunity and not charity is the rem edy for the present crisis. To permanent ly solve the problem of the unemployed, it will have to be opportunity. By char ity, never. Charity disintegrates every thing It touches. The giver and the re ceiver are demoralized. We humiliate our neighbors by making them ,the recip ients of charity, and thus destroy the very foundation of all religious belief, for who is there who does not dread to be come a public charge? To love our neigh bor as ourself means not to do unto others that which we would not like to have done unto us. How a church can conscientiously engage in missionary work when it does not fulfill this com mandment is Incomprehensible. Opportu nity and not charity is to love our neigh bor as ourself. With the sweat of thy brow thou shalt eat bread Is a sclentinc principle, which is In the world. Oppor tunity, not alms, is given us, so should we give opportunity to our brothers In need. The opportunity consists in the mem bers of our organization loaning us their credit as far as they are able and willing. Say an amount equivalent to that which they now spend in charity, thus: Mr. A. gives annually $1000 to charity; in seven years he would have given $7000; so in stead of giving his money away as here tofore, he now keeps his money for his own use, but loans this society his credit (not actual money) for $7000. That is to say, he gives his note for $7000, payable at the end of seven years. Those notes will be deposed with a trust company, and to Make a Notable World's Event of FINISHED FRAMEWORK OF THE PALACE HOTEL TO BE FINISHED APR The removal accomplished, the work of rebuilding began, and today the final place of steel has been placed in the gigantic framework of the new edifice. It is expected that the hotel will be complete and ready for occupancy by the time the fourth anniversary of the disaster which wrecked the old one rolls around. The event will be memorable In more ways than one. It will be taken by the people as the recrudescence of San Francisco, and to celebrate the comple tion of the work of rebuilding there will be given such a dinner as has never be fore been seen in all the great West, if Fields and Workshops' Society Poor in Cities Be Aided by Opportunity Livelihood or by Charity? : -. I low-interest-bearing bonds will be issued, using the credit notes as basis for that issue. These bonds will pay for the land . and everything necessary to give com ! plete opportunity. And before the bonds mature, it is to be hoped the people to whom the oppor tunity has been given will have paid back the Interest and the capital loaned them. . The outstanding bonds are can celled, and your note returned unused. To our brothers we have given oppor tunity, which was their due. Justice has been done.- Our peace of mind Is not disturbed. We have done him only the ! kindness to enable him to work out his own destiny with his own labor. He is self-supporting. Now he will be able to help give opportunity to others. He has been taught the meaning of mutual aid; above all, you have helped develop a man's character. Had you kept on giv ing him charity, you would have assisted in destroying his character. All the property of the Society is to be held by trustees, selected for their high public character and known probity, and all moneys received from sale of bonds is to be used exclusively in tho purchase of lands, tools and things es sential to the actual work of settlement. Accurate books of account will be kept by skilled bookkeepers, which books will be open for inspection at all times. The Fields and Workshops Society un dertakes its labor in no spirit of boast fulness, nor misconception of all the difficulties that lie in the path of all such great and comprehensive efforts; The Old and the New Politics This Yriter Has Sampled DRYAD, Wash.,. May 24. (To the Edi tor.) Some people never appear to enjoy a dish without a whole lot of trimmings which add nothing to the taste but only to the appearance of the food in question. This reminds me of the Old Kentucky Colonel who had survived to a ripe old age on plain whisky, until a chance ac quaintance came along and Introduced to him a mint Julip and the art of making the same. Well, the Colonel stuck to the new beverage so faithfully that In Hess than a year . he "passed in his checks." His son, a bright youth by the way, remarked that "dad should hever have learned to take grass In his "whisky." This also reminds me that the Republicans of Oregon should never have learned to take to politics with trimmings. The thing works against the taajority party, every time. Let me see how plain politics works In Missouri, a Democratic state 'with "primary law, frizzles,etc The campaign lopens, say, In May with about six candi dates for each office, riding about the (county canvassing for votes, eating free Uinners, and getting free horse feed; each teure of the election and getting a promise of support from every voter. Primaries come off. Result, five out of six beaten, five soreheads and a whole lot of friends 'whose heads are sore in spots. And now the fellows who believe in plain politics have their innings. Al though in the minority by a large set of figures, some day agreed on they all ride over the hills and down the hollows to the county seat nd hold a convention of delegates. Judge B. is put in as chairman. The Judge makes a short speech telling tka assembly that they liave come thefe to put up a ticket to 'be voted for. The Judge weighs 300 pounds and means what he says too. So the ticket Is named without frizzles. 'Everybody gives a shout for the ticket and goes home. Now comes some good plain politics of the kind which our fathers played. The WORLD WHEN the Opening of the New Palace Two not the whole Nation.
