Drill Corps of Oregon Commandery No. 1 Wins Banner at Annual Conclave Special Sale of 9 Mame i me s repar rwGJTf rzypxe, Ji,,1, ., ,, 7T..., . - '-'- - . AXT have been the stately cere monials and also enjoyable social visits of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templars of Oregon, but the most auspicious occasion of them all, cay returning pilgrims, was the annual conclave Just completed at Grants Pass, Or., where officers of the Grand Commandery were elected and in stalled for the ensuing year, and where the drill corps of Oregon Commandery No. 1 won the prise banner for the best competitive drill. Grants Pass had Its latchstrlns; out all the time, and Its -watchword was "Welcome." It la safe to say that much of the success of the visit was due to the general interest in and the fine work done by Oregon Commandery's drlil team of 19 men. Last Wednesday evening about 40 Knights Templars, many of whom were accompanied by their ladles, repre senting the Oregon Commandery of this city, Aetorla and other portions of Eastern Oregon, boarded two spe cial Pullman cars at the Terminal depot in this city for Grants Pass, and en route met commandery members at Salem, Albany and Eusene, landing in Grants Pass about SO strong. Grants Pass was prettily decorated In honor of the occasion, all citizens helping with a will. Knights Templars of Grants Pass and Ashland met their visiting brethren at the depot and es corted them to the asylum where the grand conclave was opened and busi ness transacted. This afternoon all Knights Templars attending the con clave visited the baseball grounds for the chief event of the visit, the com petitive drill. During recent years the victors representing the best-drilled team belong to Dclomay Commandery No. 5, of Balem, Or., but they did not enter this year. Oregon Commandery No. 1 won attention from the start, the well-executed evolutions winning the warmest applause from those present, and when the decision was announced that Oregon Commandery No. 1 had won the prized .banner, general satis faction was expressed. The picture of Oregon Commandery No. 1 drill team is the one representing the Sir Knights drawn up in line, in front of the cars, and the names of the Sir Knights, reading from left to right, are as follows: Sir Roy Quackenbush, Sir V. A. Avery, Plr D. G. Tomasini, Sir J. W. Latimer, Sir William C Bristol, Sir W. H. Mon roe, Sir N. G. Willis. Sir O. S. Cutler, Sir H. L. Plttock. Sir J. L. Bailey, Sir Clyde Evans. Sir Fred O.

T.U. WILL CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY Ada Wallace TJnrnh Names Soma of Those Who Will Be Present at Dem orest Medal Contest, October 6. BT ADA WALLACE BNRVH. ti s THE preparation of the annl J versary of the W. C T. V. comes near we are finding many of the women who were with us In the be ginning. Mrs. Hoxtcr, now residing la Portland, was the first superintendent of the scientific temperance department and it was through her efforts largely that Oregon was one of the early states to adopt that law. Mrs. Hoxter has ncvef slackened herlforts but she is today as much interested as ever In the temperance work. She assures us that she will be with us In our Jubilee. Mrs. Abigail Scott Dufciway was for a time a member of the W. C. T. U but the work proved too broad when the "All around policy" was adopted and Mrs. Dunlway became the principal exponent of one of the departments of our work, that of franchise, and has been largely instrumental in keeping an agitation in Oregon for the enfranchisement of women. But while Mrs. Dunlway is no longer one of us she Is often seen at the headquarters of the W. C T. U. when there is a particularly hard knot to untie In the suffrage work. In memory of "Auld Lang Syne" she will undoubt edly be In our anniversary. Mrs. Lucta Addlton was an early worker, coming from the historic city of Boston, and while not here at the tlrst, has beea identified with much of the work of the Oregon W. C T. U. A little later came the writer of this article and Mrs. Helen Harford, both .of whom will be in attendance during the entire ses sion. Mrs. Smith French, of The Dalles, will also be with ua She is one of the pioneers and is now the president of oca of our best unions. Mrs. Rebecca County, Or.," the formation is the same, excepting that Sir William Davis (captain) standa at the extreme loft of the line. These gmnd officers of the grand com mandery. Knights Templars of Oregon, were elected to serve through the en suing year: Right eminent grand commander, Sir Albert M. Knapp, of this city; very emi nent deputy grand commander. Sir Thomas C- Tavlor, of Pendleton; eminent grand generalissimo. Sir William A. Cleland. of this city: eminent grand captain-general, Ir Henry B. Thielsen, of Salem; eminent grand senior warden. Sir William E. Grace, of Baker City; eminent grand Junior warden. Sir L. L. Jewell, of Grants Pass; eminent grand treasurer. Sir Benjamin G. Whitehouse, of this city; eminent grand recorder. Sir James P. Robinson, of this city; eminent grand prelate. Sir Henry Roe, of this city: eminent grand standard-bearer, Sir D. B. Grant, of Ashland: eminent sword bearer. Sir W. F. Laraway. of Hood River; eminent grand warden. Sir Jay Steele, a woman who has been a leader from the early days, will be at the head of the Marion County delegation, as ehe has been for years. The state president, Mrs. Henrietta Brown, who has been officially con nected with the state organization from almost the very first, has been a mov ing power for all these years and still holds the largest place In the hearts of the temperance folks. Many others it will be a pleasure to meet and greet when we come to the silver jubliee, the 6th of October and the following days. The programme will all be of interest from the welcome night, when we ex pect to have the keys of the city turned over to us by 'our good Mayor, and to have the representative of the Minis terial Association, Dr. Clarence True Wilson, make ample apology for any limitations he might have fancied he wished to place upon a woman's pre rogative in his young days. Of course. Rev. Eugenie St. John will be fine and the "I" and L. T. L. night, when we will tell the good people how we train voters for local option and prohibition elections, will be very enjoyable. Bnt perhaps the programme which will be of the most novel character of all will be the diamond medal contest, when a real diamond medal will be con ferred upon the best speaker of the evening. Popular as the temperance contest work is in so many parts of the country, it Is only beginning to be understood in Oregon. It would be well for any Christian workers who wish to learn how to do temperance work of the most effective kind with the smallest expenditure of effort and with a good prospect of some financial return for other lines of philanthropic! work to make a point of attending this s '4'. i yt .e!N54f 1 evening, which will be Friday, October 9. Jennings Demorest, a strong tem perance man, said: "I am a man of slow speech, but the -iord ha given me money and I can speak through others and these young people as well." It was this man, who by the expendi ture of large sums of money. Inaugurat ed these oratorical contests, with a re ries of medal prizes, culminating with a very beautiful gold medal with dia mond setting. Before one can compete for this medal he must have won all of the medals in the series of contests be low. This gives us promise that the merit of the readings which will be given In the programme here will be of unusual character. This method of educating publlo sentiment soon be came a popular one among the W...C T. U. workers and when Mr. Demorest died it was left to our organisation to take up and carry on the work. Both Mr. and Madame Demorest were earn est members of the W. C. T. U. ad they were glad to have their venture In the field of reform left in such hands. The closing night of our. convention will be given to the diamond medal contest. MR. TAFT AS PARDONER Interesting Labor Decision "When He Governed tbe Philippines. LOST YALLBT, Or.; Sept To the Editor.) Some day ago. Secretary Straus referred in a speech to the act of Governor Taft in pardoning Isabelo de los Reyes, a Filipino agitator, under sen tence for ."conspiring to enhance the price of labor." I send a complete copy of the Governor's decision, clipped from the Ma nilla Cablenews of January 80, 1903. To fully appreciate Governor Taft'a magnanimity. It should be considered that Reyes was an agitator of the worst type and that he worked upon Ignorant, halt savage men. ' He waa one of the founders of the hysterical movement called the "Filipino Independent Cathollo Church:'" After securing his pardon, he went to 4 r4is Tuttle, of i Astoria, and eminent grand captain of the guard. Sir D. O. Tomasini. That evening. Thursday, a banquet was served in the asylum to the sir knights by the ladies of Grants Pass, and after the banquet, a most interesting public instal lation of the grand officers, previously elected, took place. Speeches were next In order, and George H. Durham, of Grants Pass, made an excellent toast master. The speech made by Right Emi nent Grand Commander Sir Albert M. Knapp, of this city, had a welcome key note. The toast "The Grand Command ery," was responded to by Past Right Eminent Grand Commander Sir Frank J. Miller, of Albany: "Temple Masonry. by Right Eminent Grand Commander Sir Albert M. Knapp, of this city: "The La dies," responded to by Past Grand Com mander D. B. Mason, of Albany, and "The Lethargy of Knights Templar," re sponded to by Sir William C. Bristol, of this city. . Friday morning the outing was contin ued with an enjoyable auto drive along the Rogue River Valley, turning in at a park, where a delicious ruhch was served, consisting of venison, fish, fruit and other dainties. It was with genuine regret that the vis iting sir knights said good-bye to pleas ant Grants Pass and took cars for home. Hongkong, and was there, agitating from a safe distance, when last I heard of him. WALTER F. GEREN. Manila Cable News. Governor Taft has pardoned Isabelo de los Reyes of the crime of conspiring to enhance the price of labor. The Gover nor finds that this is a crime under the existing law, but that the law is con trary to American Ideas. He demon strates his entire 'familiarity with ' the character of Reyes,, but holds that he would not be Justified In holding the prisoner morely because he Is ah enemy of the Government. The Governor's re view of the case Is as follows: . "The Government of the Philippine Isl ands. Office of the Civil Governor, Ma nila January 20, 1903: Isabelo de los Reyes asks that he be pardoned on the ground that Judge Roxas In convicting him committed Judicial error and did not grant him justice at the trial, In that he e,L No old sore can heal until the cause which produces it has been removed. External applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc., may reduce the inflam mation and assist in. keeping the place clean, but cannot cure the trouble because they do not reach its source. Old sores exist because the blood is infected with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged into the place. The nerves, tissues and fibres of the flesh are kept ia a state of irritation and disease by being daily fed with the germ-ladea matter through the circulation, making it impossible for the sore to heal. S. S. S. cures chronic sores by its purifying action oa the blood. It goes down into the circulation, and removes the poison-producing germs, impurities and morbid matters which are responsible for the failure of the place to heal. S. S. S. makes the blood pure, fresh and healthy; then as new, rich blood i9 carried to the spot the healing process begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue begins to form, the place fills ia with firm, healthy flesh, and soon the sore is permanently cured. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, the safest and best blood purifier for young or old. Book oa Sores" and Ulcera and any medical advice free to all who write, j THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLAUTA, GA. . s did not postpone the trial so as to permit eyes to obtain further witnesses. "I am convinced that Judge Roxas gave Reyes a fair trial under the law, and that under the law he was properly convicted. The statute under which Reyes was convicted punishes a combina tion to enhance the price of labor wrong fully. As this is construed, it means a combination to enhance the price of labor where the price sought by the combina tion Is in the opinion of the court exces sive, or where the combination is of so many persons as to involve danger to the state. The statute Is not in accord ance with modern American views. The right of laborers to unite for the purpose of enhancing labor by withdrawing from the employment of those who make the demand for labor Is generally oonoeded under American Jurisprudence. "It is only when organizations of la borers use as a means of bettering their condition and enhancing tbe price of la Dor Intimidation, threats and actual vio lence, either toward their employer or toward fellow-laborers that the associa tion or combination becomes unlawful. The form of unlawful Intimidation Is sometimes by a 'boycott,' sometimes by picketing, and sometimes by direct vio lence. In the new criminal code, which has been prepared, but not adopted, the American rules of Jurisprudence are rec ognized, and no combination merely to enhance labor can be? wrongful because of the excessive price requested or the number engaged in the combination, if no unlawful or violent means are pres ent. For this" reason,' and because I do not think the statute as construed to be In accordance with American principles, I shall pardon Isabelo de los Reyes and remit what remains of his sentence." Judge Roxas excluded some evidence agalnet Reyes, which under the Amr lean laws of evidence I should' have thought competent to show .that Reyes had engaged In a conspiracy to Intim idate workmen to Join a strike and leave their employment, but this part of the case failed because of the ex clusion of the evidence. Had this fact been established. I should hot : have granted any pardon. The convicted man Is a born agita tor, entirely Irresponsible, fecund in writing and in speech, who hae at times earnestly and vigorously in Spain and elsewhere, etrlven to sub vert this - Government. My own ex perience with him has sometimes led me to believe that he does not realize what he is doing. It would perhaps be better, so far as the man is con cerned, to retain him In custody aa long as possible, but the policy of re taining a man for one reason on a charge for which he ought not to be imprisoned, because he might become dangerous to the state for other causes, is not one ordinarily to be fol lowed. Moreover, his present custody doee not seem to prevent his publica tion of his views on every issue that attracts his prolific mind. What has been heretofore said la not to be taken as an indication that should Isabelo de los Reyes hereafter take part in movements which are either seditious or disturbing to the public peace, he will not be prosecuted with vigor-, or that he will not, when convicted under the proper law, be al lowed to remain In jail and prevented from Issuing manifestoes and proclama tions from his place of confinement. I am assured by his friends who have urged his release that hereafter we ehall not be troubled by his ac tions, but I venture to doubt their abil ity to control him any more than they can prevent a torpedo from making a noise when it strikes the ground. I prefer to base my commutation of sen tence on the ground above stated, that the law under which he was convicted is not in spirit In accordance with American principles. Signed) WM. H.
