POLICEMEN TO PAY. FARE !
DEMAND FOR CO-OPERATION
Rapid Strides Being Made by the
City Suggest a Consolidation of
the Most Important
Institutions.
Amalgamation of the various com
mercial bodies and exchanges of Port
land into one large, powerful organiza
tion Is being quietly agitated. While
the several organizations have already
accomplished much good working in
dependently, it is thought that united
effort on the part of all of them will
produce far more Important results-
This subject has been discussed re
cently by members of the Commercial
Club. Board of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce, but no definite steps nave
been taken yet to bring about a union.
Trie matter is only In the discussion
stage, but Is likely soon to be brought
before some or all of the organizations.
Xeed for Consolidation.
An open advocate of such an amal
ramatlon is Secretary Fred Muller, of
the Board of Trade. Speaking of the
subject yesterday, Mr. Muller said
"At the present time Portland main
tains a number of commercial organi
sations whose functions, to a large ex
tent, run along the same lines, while
lacking co-operation, so necessary to
secure definite results. Our community
is required to contribute to the main
tenance of these institutions and the
burden of the expense rests upon a lim
lted number of business men.
"Portland is making rapid strides
commercially, therefore, it might be
appropriate to consider the consollda
tlon of these Institutions Into one large
body. If this could be accomplished
there would be nothing too difficult
to undertake, should the best Interests
of the city demand energetic action.
"The very fact that the business
community today is made to contribute
to various organizations, without see
Ing much of a direct result from the
expenditures, haa brought organized
effort somewhat1 Into discredit and
many people are only too prone to pass
such endeavor up as hot air.
When the Board of Trade was re
organized, particular stress was laid
upon the proper distribution of func
tions whereby the different commercial
interests might be benefited. There
fore, the different departments were
created. The scope of this plan could
be broadened in the management of a
large consolidated institution."
Xo More Free Car Rides for Officers

President Josselyn of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company nas
issued general order No. 12, effective on
September 15, which gives the death blow
to free transportation for policemen wnen
not on official duty or in full uniform.
This affects the police greatly as they

ReW. C. F. Swander, for a num
ber (of years pastor of the Chris
tian Church, McMinnvllle, Or.,
haa. been chosen corresponding
secretary of the Oregon Christian
Missionary Convention. He has
mowed to Portland and resides at
774 East Yamhill street. A re
ception will be given to Rev. and .
Mrs. Swander at the Central
Christian Church, East Twentieth
and Salmon streets, Tuesday
evening, September 15.
Plan for Departments.
Mr. Muller suggests as a method by
which this work could be distributed, the
formation of three departments. First.
department of freight and transportation.
supervision or .river and harbor facilities.
manufacturing interests, city, state and
federal legislation, and general municipal
welfare, second, a department of com
mercial statistics, marine Intelligence, in
spection and weighing of products, buying
and selling by sample for cash or future
delivery, and other strictly commercial
functions. Third, a department of pub
licity to take charge of all matters along
tne line of promotion, etc.
"The division of this work as outlined
on a broad, comprehensive and Intelligent
basis," said Mr. Muller, "would not only
serve to avoid duplication of work, but
would stimulate the efficiency of the or
ganization and create a larger interest on
the part f the Individual member. Each
department could be in charge of a de
partment secretary, who in turn would
report to the superintendent of the or
ganization on all matters requiring the
action of the board of directors.
"An arrangement of this sort would
undoubtedly tend to appeal to every mem
ber because he would see some Individual
advantage to himself by belonging to one
or the other department.
The financial end of the proposition Is a
strong point in its favor, according' to
Secretary Muller, who gives the following
figures as an illustration:
RESOURCES.
members at S25 per annum $50,000
Earnings from Inspection and weigh
ing depts, etc 5,000
Total $55,000

have teen In the habit of riding to and
irom.tne police station in citizen clothes
and were carried free on the cars by
merely showing their badges.
Among the policemen there is a strong
dislike to appearing In uniform when not
on duty and the majority of the men are
expressing themselves as preferring to
pay carfare rather than to ride to and
from ahelr homes In the police uniform.
The Fire Department does not seem to be
affected by the order as the firefighters
express) themselves as being willing to
appear Jn public In their uniform at any
and all times.
The order reads as follows: 'Each
person riding upon the oars of this com
pany including officers of the company,
except qmployes wearing badges or pre
senting register keys, policemen In full
uniform, firemen in full uniform, includ
ing a brtrtge and a cap, and letter car
riers in rfull uniform, between 6 A. M.
and 7 P. M., will be required to furnish
conductor with tangible evidence of fare
(cash, ticket or transfer)."
That portion or the order relating to
the Police and the Fire Departments is
underscored.
IS CLEARED OF HERESY
BaptlsttPreacher Exonerated of Dis
belief In Hell-Fire.
LOS AXGEL.ES, Cai.. Sept. 12. After a
four hours' session of a specially sum
moned council of Baptists, representing
several churches in the city and county,
Rev. E. H. Brooks, pastor of the Fig-
ueroa-street Baptist Church, has been
cleared by unanimous vote-of the charges
preferred against him by various brothers
and sisters in the fold, the principal one
being heresy.
Dr. Brooks was accused by members
of bis charge of not being orthodox, of
not believing In burning fire and brim
stoife, of not believing In a personal devil,
of ridiculing the Idea that God Bits on a
throne, and further, that he taught So
clallsm.
Dr. Brooks' confession of faith was sat
isfactory and the charges were deemed
refuted.
NEW BUFFET OPENS.
Total $23,960
Coin for Promotion Work.
This would leave over J.TO.00O a year for
promotion work, an active campaign for
proper recognition bv the Government,
and such purposes. The cost to the av
erage business man would be only a
little over $3 per month, while collectively
It would provide a large fund to stimu
late the expansion of Portland.
"In ail organization work the essential
part is to obtain results," said Mr. Muller.
"To do this requires sufficiently large
funds without making it a hardship to
either the Individual merchant or a set
of business men who, in the past, he. ye
responded to a much larger degree than
could reasonably be expected.
"Every citizen of Portland undoubtedly,
has the city's welfare at heart, because
the prosperity of the community benefits
every individual. Therefore, with a view
of accomplishing the best possible re
sults this matter should be fairly and im
partially considered and promptly acted
upon."
The Board of Trade Buffet Opening
a, Splendid Event.
The new buffet which was opened yes
terday on the ground floor of the Board
of Trade building was the object of much
praise and comment being something
entirely new and most elaborately fur
nished. It Is strictly a gentleman's re
sort and will be conducted on the high
plane that Mr. Elder has always run his
resorts in Tacoma and Seattle.
The feature of the day was the splen
did merchants' lunch, which was served
from 11:30 to 1:30, and which will be . a
daily feature. . -
Those who visited the . place were sur
prised to see the fine velvet nigs, leather
settees, beautiful electrical' fixtures, wall
decorations and friezes.
The men of Portland should call and
Inspect this new buffet.

Ton know from sad experience that
you can't do good baking if one part of
your oven is hotter than another. And
in most Cast Ranges the oven is not
heated uniformly. The cast iron frames
must be bolted, because they are too
brittle to stand riveting. Then the
. seams are filled with stove putty.
A few beatings and coolings and the
cast Iron expands and contracts, the
bolts loosen and the putty falls out.

side air and cause the fire to burn un
evenly. Now the Monarch oven bakes evenly
at all times. The sides and the oven
are riveted to malleable steel frames
extending all through the range, mak
ing tight, solid Joints with no chance
of air leaks.
Then the duplex draft lets air in at
both ends of the fire-box, causing a
uniform heat production, which means
an evenly-heated oven that will bake
thoroughly and satisfactorily through
and through.
There is no stove putty used in the
Monarch Range.

nHEE old question "TiVho Killed
t Cock Robin?", will ever. to the fore.
Since this recent whirlwind of tem
perance victories has come upon ' us
the question is heard upon every hand
"What is the cause of this seemingly
rapid Increase of temperance senti
ment?" Jit Gladstone this Summer, in the
sociology class, this question was
asked. Some white ribboners were
there who waited curiously to see
vohat would be the answer, one of
Portland's school superintendents was
aJ so present and to the delight of '.the
women answered, "Why Jt is the tem
perance Instruction in the schools."
While the main thing is to have the
K-ork done regardless of what credit
may come to any society, it is a posi
tive pleasure to find so many men
telvlng the lion's share to the W. C. T.
SU. Harper's Bazar closes an editorial
with the following: "Back of every ef
ifect lies a cause. No explanation has
yet been given of this series of pro
hibition victories that does not bear
out the French saying: Look out for
the women."
The Nashville Tennessean ' cartoon of
the prohibition wave advancing high,
with the W. C. T. U. riding on its top,
and the saloonkeeper fleeing for his
life before it, represents the truth
pretty well. In 1873 woman's crusade
against liquor saloons began In Ohio.
In 1874 the W. C. T. U. was organized.
It commenced the work of education
upon public sentiment and .it haa never
stopped. Thirty years Is the passing
of the period of one generation. The
children educated by these earnest wo
men pioneers have grown up "rooted
and ground In the faith, the literature
that the women have distributed for
temperance haa done Its work. The
weekly meetings, the State gatherings,
the affiliation with the clergy, and
with . prominent reformers, the cease
less pressure on the school through
temperance text books, have all borne
their fruit.
The story of prohibition in Georgia
traces back step by step to the door
of Its women who taught, prayed, or
ganized, worked, and won. They began
by a day of fasting and prayer that
waked up the state. They had prayer
meetings before the Legislature began
Its seslons. Like all public sentiment,
this new temperance impulse does not
always recognize its own beginnings.
The editor of the Georgian, who wrote
to his mother the day the prohibition
bill passed, "Mother it was . you who
won today," went to the heart -of the
matter through economics, politics
and all.
Such recognition as this from a pa
per outside of the reform ranks should
make women who are Interested in
the outlawing of the saloon (and the
average woman Is), think of what an
opportunity lies before her to make an
-impress of her own personality upon
this work, by standing with the White
Ribboners.
The women are looking for a large
accession to their ranks at the time of
their silver anniversary in Portland,
October 6, 7, 8, and 9. The state offi
cers have recent word from Mrs. St.
John that she will be here without
fall.

A bad back turns every 24 hours into
one dull round of pain and misery you
are lame In the morning, nagged all day
by a dull, throbbing backache, can't rest
In the evening or sleep well at night. It
hurts to bend over, straighten up, get up
from a chair, or lift even a light weight.
Any sudden twist, turn or awkward move
ment sends a tearing twinge of pain
through the weak spot.
Backache is really kidney-ache. The
kidneys are in the small of the back, and
any pain there is enough cause to suspect
your kidneys. If the. urine is discolored,
contains sandy sediment, . or passes too
frequently, then you, have double proof.
Keep the kidneys well and the kidneys
will keep you well. Well kidneys Alter
the blood and keep it pure. Diseased
kidneys only partly - purify the blood.
Neglect weak kidneys and you invite uric
acid poisoning, gravel, stone in the kid
neys, .rheumatism, heart trouble, diabetes,
Brlght's disease, and a long list of other
serious disorders now recognized as hav
ing their cause In kidney- weakness.
At the first sign of backache or urinary
disorders, give the kidneys quick help, not
with plasters, liniments, nor any other
outside applications, but with :a special
kidney medicine.

Best of all, this relief Is permanent.
David Campbell, 170 North Eighteenth

"Five or six years ago I began to suffer
from kidney trouble. The pains In my
back became almost unbearable and I
grew so lame and sore that to stoop was
torture. I tried various remedies and
finally went to a physician but could
obtain only temporary relief. I did not
know that the trouble was caused by
disordered kidneys but when I saw Doan's
Kidney Pills so "highly advertised and rec

to give them a trial. The first box
brought, me such great relief that I con

four boxes. At the end of that time not

disorder remained nor "has it ever re

use of Doan's Kidney rills to anyone
suffering as I ddd."
