Dr. H. F. Ward Explains Objects of
Methodist Federation and Meth
ods Undertaken to Reduce
Crime and Needless Poverty.
"I don't believe in that kind of
charity that prompts a rich man to
give liberally to an anti-tuberculosis
fund and at the same time maintain in
hla factory conditions that breed tuber,
culosis." said Rev. H. F. Ward, of Chi
cairo who arrived in Portland yester
day to aid in the spread of "social
Christianity." the newly organize

"Such cases as that actually are on
record and they are more numerous
than you might suppose," continued
Mr. Ward, who is secretary of the
Methodist Federation of Social Serv
ice and one of the secretaries of the
social service commission or ine rea
eral council of churches, a National
organization embracing 3i aeuumiua

"Social Christianity is nothing more
nor less than practical Christianity. It
is the work of the church carried right
Into the lives of tne people who u
it most.
Th. nhipt In Viewi
The three immediate remedial steps
sought by the federation are.
One day's rest in seven for all work
erb, reduction in working hours, mini
w. o-o onneciallv for women.
Mr. Ward says the churches are not
so particular that the wonting people
be given Sunday as their weekly day
c. ihpv nm that every man
who works be given one day out of
ever seven to himself.
The federation also has adopted a
f reforms that
will be demanded immediately. The
general programme covers tne xunuw-
lng suojecis:
Child welfare To secure for every
child the best possible education, ade
quate recreation, good housing, pro
tection from ice and industrial ex
ploitation, and to care for dependent
delinquent and defective children.

charity work, but primarily to discover
and remove tne causes ui ici.
Public Institutions To secure the
highest standard In all institutions for
the care of dependents, defectives and
delinquents.
Delinquency To provide the best re
formatory treatment for the offender,
to aid discharged prisoners and to re
move conditions which contribute to
delinquency.
Labor legislation To secure In every
state one day's rest In seven. Indus
trial safety and workmen's compen
sation, reasonable hours of labor and
a minimum wage.
Mr. Ward has been engaged In social
reform work In Chicago for more than
10 years. His experiences have im
pressed him thoroughly with the neces
sity of removing the causes for dis
tress among the working classes of
the city Instead of trying to remedy the
symptoms of their misery.
Rich "Donors" Hit.
Mr. Ward says that it Is not an in
frequent occurrence for the slum
workers In the cities to find the mil
lionaire manufacturers contributing
with pious faces to the charity funds
of the settlement workers and then
pay their employes so poorly that their
resultant condition makes settlement
work necessary.
The federation also is active in the
campaign to suppress white slavery,
but it confines Its efforts more princi
pally to the causes that make white
slavery possible.
"There are more than 15,000 delin
quent girls and women in Chicago,"
said Mr. Ward. "Now no one can make
mo believe that that number of women
are living such lives from choice or be
cause they have become 'white slaves.'
Most of them are driven to it because
their former selfish employers paid
them insufficiently for them t live
properly."
The church is butting in where it
has no business," one sanctified old in
dividual and a "pillar" in his own
church told Mr. Ward, when the latter
spoke on the need of a minimum wage
law for women.
After the meeting this same man was
invited to accompany the minister on
a visit to a girl ill with tuberculosis.
He recognized one of his own under
paid employes. He saw the light and
raised the scale of wages in his In
Btitution. Mr. Ward will speak at the Central
Methodist Church at this morning's
service and at the Grace Methodist
Church this evening and Tuesday even
ing. Monday morning at the Grace
Church he will speak to the Methodist
ministers. The public generally, but
the laboring men and ministers of oth
er churches, particularly, are Invited.
"COPS" IN FULL DRESS AIM
Police Colors Vogue for Annual Ball
Washington's Birthday.
Full dress uniform will be the vogue
when the city police gather at the
Armory the night of Washington's
birthday, for their annual ball, which
gives promise of being a big affair.
Officers who do not display their colors
and seek to come in civilian attire will
do so only at the fixed price.
Music for the affair will be pro
vided by the Police Band, which is
practicing Industriously for the oc
casion. The proceeds of the ball go to the
benent fund, from which over J 1500 In
sick benefits was paid during the past
year, besides numerous sums to offi
cers and their widows in cases of
particular need.

Congress of Mothers Rejoices That
Widow Pension Bill Passed.
There is great rejolclnij among the
Portland members of the Congress of
Mothers and the Parent-Teachers clubs
that have worked untiringly during the
past few weeks for the success of the
widows' pension bill, which passed the
House by a large majority and yester
day passed the Senate. Mrs. R. E.
Bondurant, chairman of the committee
that has had the destinies of the bill
In hand, says that the Congress of
Mothers will go to work as soon as
the act is in force and see that the de
serving widows and women whose hus
bands are in some state institution
have the proper consideration. Mrs.
Bondurant says further that the women
will work In conjunction with the Juve
nile Court and that no effort will be
spared to make the newly-made law a
success. It Is considered by many phll
anthropists and students of social re
form as one of the wisest measures ever
introduced, as by helping the widows to
keep their homes Intact, and so enable
them to keep their children at home,
they are preventing all kinds of moral
evils and at the same time are doing
practical good. Mrs. Robert H. Tate

Reed College Authorities Will Be
Asked to Lend Their Aid, and
Committee in Charge Is En
larged From Civic Clubs.
The first steps have been taken for
the construction of a cross-city car line
on the East Side by the transportation
committee of the Greater East Side As
sociation. As projected, the route of
this line Is as follows: Starting at the
Estacada line on the south. East
Thirty-ninth street is followed to
Sandy boulevard, thence along the
Rose City line to East Forty-Becond
street, thence north on the Beaumont
line following it to the end, thenc?
north to the Columbia boulevard. It
was proposed at first to follow East
Thirty-seventh street to Columbia
boulevard, but this route was changed
at the suggestion of residents, and the
new route is along, streets on which
carlines already are built. The com
mittee plans to unite all the street
car tracks on the East Side by this
cross line, beginning with the Esta
cada line and connecting with the oth
ers on the way north.
It was decided to hold a conference
with the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company on the subject of this
cross-city line, and also to ask that it
be included in and made part of the
blanket franchise now pending before
the Council.
The cross line will be about four
miles long. It will pass near Reed
College, and the friends of the col
lege will be asked to give their assls
tance In having it built. President Fos
ter will be invited to attend the next
meeting of the committee.
The committee has been enlarged to
contain the following names: Dr. J. D.

the Government.
As a grain producing district North
ern Crook County has astonished the
world, end its many productive sec

wheat, oats, rye, vegetables and fruit,
