arrangement for a meeting In the
Auditorium of th T. M. C A. that even
ing wnicn was attended by more than
100 persona, who heard ono of Mr.
Chann's characteristic addresses.
lr. Charm was nthulastlcallv ra.
celved by hla audience. He began hi
address by calling attention to the rav
agea of tuberculosis. Then the speaker
called attention to th liquor traffic
and It effect, which he styled "th
Black Plague.' He aald Intoxlcatlng
llquor caused not only J.50.OO0 death
annually, but also was responsible for
60 per cent of th victims of tubercu
losis. It eem, aald Mr. Chann. "that we
must now come before the people and
how that thla Is a great question con
cerning the public health and let th
moral side of It rest. We have been
hammering on th moral phase of the
question lor more than 50 year In an
effort to rouse the church people and
get them to art for the overthrow of
th liquor 'traffic tn this country, but
It seem that tbe church people car
1 for the public moral than th pub
lic health, therefore we must turn to
the public health side of the question.
"Our solution of this question Is an
amendment to tbe United States Con
stitution making It a penitentiary of
fense for any man to make or sell
alcoholic liquors anywhere within th
United States. Put this In the Consti
tution and you will have drunkenness
In this country reduced to a minimum

to win tht fight In th end."

FAIR POLICY ANNOUNCED
Multnomah County Official Has a
Slogan "Same Business Policy"
a Pnrrucd by Him for
Past Ten Tear.
Frank S. Field. County Clerk of
Multnomah County, will tomorrow for
ward to th Secretary of State at Salem
official notice of hi candidacy for th
Republican nomination for Secretary of
Stat at the primary on April It. Th
statement was fully prepared yester
day. In it Mr. Fields declares:
I will endeavor to conduct the af
fairs' of the of floe In a manner satisfac
tory to th maaass. realising th Im
possibility of pleasing alL I will prom-
Is a fair, honest and businesslike ad
ministration, referring voter to my
record aa Clark of Multnomah County
for five terma and asking those who
are not acquainted with my record to
inquire of those who are. I will be
Secretary of Stat for th whole state
with no special favors to any part
thereof."
Policy ta Be Same.
After hi nam on th primary nomi
nating ballot Mr. Field asks that th
following slogan be printed: "Sam
business policy aa I pursued a County
Clerk of Multnomah County for 10
years." .
During hi terra of office Mr. Field
haa had several measures passed by
th Legislature amending evil and
systematlxlng th work of th County
Clark's offlce. On of these statutes
so amends th marriage law that
there la an absolute chsck on returns
from marriage licenses. Commenting
on this yesterday he said:
"Prior to my advent In offle of
11.000 licenses Issued, returns had not
been received on 400. On th first
11,000 Issued by mi I have return on
all but TO. This difference 1 made by
th system of taking addresses and
following every clew to obtain th re
turn of th certificates. Tbl seems
Ilk a small thing to th masses, but I
would ask people to stop and consider
th harm that might com to children
In future year If there was no record
of th marriage of their parents."
Mlaiater Now Registered.
Th act providing for th registra
tion of ministers before they are em
powered to perform marriage cere
monies waa Introduced at his request.
Prior to that time a number of cases
developed In which people were lm
poaed upon by peraona not authorised
to perform ceremonies.
I was Instrumental In having passed
a law which prevents duplication of
the name of addition," h aald. "I
found by th record that a large part
of our delinquent taxes was caused by
owner paying on th wrong tracts.
"Several other measures I have uo
eeeded In having Introduced, but, like
many ether bills, they have fallen by
th wayside. On of th matter which
I propose to place before th Leglsla
tur la a registration law providing
that It will not be necessary for a voter
to register but once unless he move.
It would save thousands of dollars
year to th counties, besides lessening
th trouble and expense to voters.
Calf eras System Favored.
"Another measure, which I have al
ways favored and always will. Is on
providing for th performance or work
In all county office throughout th
tat In th same way and under the
supervision of the same general offl
claL No two county officers use thi
am book or form or do their work
In th earns way. I am surs that th
Introduction of an Intelligent uniform
system would result In th saving of
thousands of dollars a year and mate
rially Increased convenience."
Mr. Fields baa been a life-long Re
publican and haa realded In Oregon II
years. Ha waa married to Mlaa Besale

Realising that Laurelhurst property is being sold for from 25 to 50 per
cent less than other high-class, exclusive additions, such as Irvington, Holla
day Park and Ladd'a Addition, we have definitely decided to discontinue the
special discount to home-builders, which has been in effect for the past year.
The date of the discontinuance has not been fixed, but will be announced soon
in our ads.
Since this home-builders' discount and the easy payment, second-mortgage
plan were put into operation in Laurelhurst one year ago, nearly $1,000,000
has been invested in new homes in the addition. We have accomplished what
we started out to do, that is, through our liberal discounts to home - builders
we have caused more handsome and expensive homes to be erected in Laurel
hurst during 1911 than in any other of Portland's exclusive residence tracts.
We therefore feel that the time is near at hand when these privileges should
be withdrawn and Laurelhurst property sold at prices that more nearly repre
sent its true value. All that we can now say, definitely, is that these privileges
will be withdrawn.
We know of a great number of prospective home-builders who have been
negotiating with us for home-sites and feel that it is no more than fair to give
these people an opportunity to buy before we finally withdraw the special
discount privilege.
Once these discounts are withdrawn they will not be restored, and no
exception will be made in favor of anyone.
To take advantage of our home-builders' discount and second mortgage
privilege means the saving of several hundred dollars on each lot purchased,
which is- no small item to the average home-builder.

BIBLE AND DEATH PENALTY
Injunction as to Crimes Other Than
Murder Cited.
OAK GROVE. Or, Jan. 18. (To the
Editor.) Does the Bible teach capital
punishment! That It does Is unques
tionable, but the moat enthusiastic
advocate of capital punlahment would
not have the brazen hardihood to at
tempt In the presence of the civiliza
tion of today to defend capital punish
ment for the crimes for which It waa
required to be adminlatered by the law
given by the great Jewlah lawgiver.
Why eelect one crime only and to that
affix the death penalty? While the
Bible establishes the death penalty for
various offenses, persons seem In
clined to take th Bible In homeo
pathlo doses.
According to the Bible, "Whosoever
sheddeth man's blood, by man shall
his blood be shed," Is no more authori
tative and la entitled to no more obedl'
ence to its demands than are the fol
lowing from the same law:
-He that amlteth his father or his
mother shall be surely put to death."
"He that curseth his father or his
mother, ahall aurely be put to death."
"He that atealeth a man and aelleth
him or if he be found In hla hand, he
shall surely be put to death."
"Thou shall not suffer a witch to
live."
For the sins of sodomy and adultery
and varloua other offense the offend
jow" - r '
"fc'T V-
er were put to death, but it will be
affirmed that Chrlat repealed those
seemingly sever and cruel laws, and
that may be readily conceded, but In
the same chapter from which the above
quotations are made occurs the fol
lowing: "He that smlteth a man so
that he die. shall be surely put to
death." That's murder and blood calls
for blood. This last is no more de
fensible by the Bible than la the death
penalty for the offenses referred to In
the portlona of law cited above.
Farther on in th same chapter the
law declared as a penalty an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but In
the Sermon on the Mount the Savior
said, "Ye have heard that It hath been
said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth,' but I say unto you that
ye resist not evlL"
Here Is a clear case of the repeal of
an old law, but It manifestly Involve
in spirit and plnciple the law demand
ing blood for blood and repeals It, ao
the advocates of capital punlahment
must shift their argument to aome
other foundation than the Bible to
ateady their wobbly structure.
The general opinion of today la that
murder la the worst possible offense
again6t both the moral and the civil
laws. The Bible does not so declare,
for the same penalty la affixed to num
erous other crlmea aa to that of
murder.
According to the Bible, what con
atltutes murder? That the deliberate
taking the life of another person Is
murder, no one la likely to question,
but the Savior gives to murder a
vaster sweep when he declares, "That
whoso hateth his brother la a murderer.
If the death penalty were Inflicted on
thla class of murderers pulpit "sup
plier' should be In greater demand and
there should be numerous pewa "to
let."
The Bible has been forced to stand
sponsor for much of the crime and lust
of ages past as well as for the wild
fanaticism of the Holy Rollers and the
Holy Ghost and such societies of the
present day. He that preaches peace
by Jesus Christ should be slow to
