BUSY WEEK JUST CLOSED Mayoralty Candidate Advances His Ideas on Proper Place and Duties of Mayor, Labor Controversies and High Food Cost. Oeorge L. Baker completed a busy week last night in his campaign for I Mayor of Portland. In the course of the week he has made many addresses and has met squarely the Important Issues of the campaign. Many other addresses have been made in his behalf by friends, and volunteers are working for him in every precinct of the city. An especially large number of wom en are voluntarily aiding in the cam paign to bring about his election. From every part of the city reports have been received at Mr. Baker's headquar ters, 1033 Northwestern Bank build ing, that his support is gaining ground every day. ' In the course of his campaign up to last night Mr. Baker has laid particular stress upon the following Important points: ' Mayor to Be Real Mayor. He has declared emphatically that. If elected Mayor of Portland, he will be Mayor in fact, and not merely a Commissioner with the title of Mayor. To that end he has announced that he will not hamper himself by taking per sonal charge of the Police Bureau, or the Fire Bureau, or the Health Bureau, or of any other city bureau or depart ment, but -will assign the details of their supervision to the Commission ers, while he devotes his time to su pervision of the affairs of the city as a whole. His view of tho office of Mayor, Mr. Baker has said, is that the Mayor should be in effect the general man ager ofg the city, and that details of bureau supervision should be left to the Commissioners, who should be re sponsible to the Mayor for the satis factory conduct of their departments.- - In this same connection, Mr. Baker has announced that he will devote espe cial attention to the work of bring ing new industries and payrolls to Portland, and to developing and pro tecting the industries the city now has. Portland is on the eve of a remarka ble industrial growth, Mr. Baker de clares, and it will be his purpose as Mayor to see that this growth Is not endangered by industrial strife. Mr. Baker points to the manner In which he adjusted the shipbuilding strike last Winter, a controversy that was endangering the future of this most important infant industry, as a pected to pursue in regard to adjust- ment of industrial disputes. xnrougn his efforts this strike was settled amicably to both sides. Radical Acts Opposed. Though he has always been the friend of the 'workingraanand his record will show that he has always clven a rauare deal to the working man. Mr. Baker has emphasized that he has no sympathy with the radical class that agitates strikes against the wishes of the vast majority or worninsraen themftlvea. As a remedy against such a state of affairs, Mr. Baker has suggested that the business agents of the unions should be put on the same basis In regard to strike benefits as the men on strike themselves receive. "When a strike is called," said Mr. Baker, "the wages of the men on strike drop from the $3, $4, $5 or more they may be receiving, to strike benefits of $10 a week. The salary of the busi ness agent, who usually comes in from an outside city to direct the strike, on the other hand, remains at some such figure as $125 a month during the progress of the strike. "In other words, the agitator him 1 ..Mtttno. (n Inup nn msittfir how lone- the strike progresses. And he has nothing to gain from arbitration of the point at Issue. "Now if the business agent were olaced on the same basis as the strik- lng workingman, so that when a strike was called his $125 a month would be automatically reduced to the $10 a week strike benefit that the men themselves receive, and no more, there would be a powerful Incentive to the himinug urent to arbitrate. "I think an arrangement like this would be only fair to the community and to the worklngmen themselves. Surely, they will not object to placing their leaders on the same rooting as themselves." High Cost of Food Dlscnawed The high cost of living, particularly of foodstuffs, insofar as It is due to local food speculation, also has been discussed by Mr. Baker. He has I if slocicd Mavor. to use all ' . . . . the influence of his office to protect ho ..lo-if. hv nuttlne- an end to high food prices caused by speculators. ere' expects to leave soon for Mlch "Whlle I do not pretend that as e&Q wh"6 he has two position wait Mayor I can interfere with the law of fr h""- n w't,nl.fho eten" supply and demand," said Mr. .uaker in !,. v.. eiymuuiiB - " ..

Mr. Baker has put himself on record to enforce the laws as the people vote them, without fear or favor. 'Whatever their decision may be on any of these questions, it will be my nolicy to enforce it," he has declared. t have always regarded the decision of the people as something to be carried out exactly, and my record will show that I have carried out their wishes. In regard to the jitney question, I have consistently voted for regulation of the jitney in accordance with the will of the people, as expressed by overwhelm ing vote at tne city election fin june, 1915. "And I will carry out their will as expressed at the coming election." Day Off la Poor Favored. Mr. caaer nas hhiu lmhi. u ins iwo- platoon measure fails to carry, he be lieves that in justice to the firemen. eo as to enable them to have more time at home with their families, he will favor giving tnem one aay on in rour. At present the firemen have one day off in six. and the remainder of the time are continually on duty at their firehouses for 24 hours out of each 24. "This is not a natural or just conai- tlon of affairs." said Mr. Baker, "and it has led to dissatisfaction among the firemen, who very naturally wish to be able to enjoy some home life. For that reason. I favor giving them one day off In four. "At the same time, I believe mem bers of the police department should have one day off in seven, like any other citizen. In, place of only two days off each month, as under present ar rangements. There is nothing- radical I about these suggestions. They are only matters of Justice, and I believe all citi zens can support them." FUNERAL SERVICES HELD Friends Pay Tribute to Slemory of Mrs. Ada E. Hawkins. Funeral services" for Mrs. Ada E. Hawkins, who died at the St. Vincent's Hospital Friday morning following an illness of three years, were held yes terday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the chapel of Dunning & McEntee, followed by private services at the Mount Scott Crematorium.

This certificate Is virtually a receipt of registration, according to official Information given out yesterday by George A. White, Adjutant-General of the Oregon National Guard. If a man cannot produce it on demand, he must convince the Government that ho has really registered, or he faces the pos sibility of a term In prison, without the option of paying a fine. In any event, being without his cer tificate Is liable to cause him much trouble. So, for his own sake, as well as to aid the Government, he should guard the certificate Jealously. when an absentee malls his regis tration card to the registrar of his home precinct, after the County Clerk of the county in which he happens to be has made out the card for him, the absentee should be sure to ask fori a registration certificate. . How to Get Your Certificate. To get the certificate back duly signed by the proper official, however. he must enclose a self-addressed and stamped envelope to the registrar. If this is done, the signed registration certificate will be sent him at once, and he will be secure from arrest. Members of the National Guard will not have to register on war census day. The first regulations Bent out by the War Department required that all National Guardsmen between the ages of 21 and 30 years, inclusive, must register, but General White has re ceived official notification from Wash ington to the effect that President Wilson has ruled that National Guards men are already in the Federal serv ice and subject to military service, so win not have to register. As tho regulations stand now. the only men of the designated ages who win not have to register are soldiers and sailors of the regular Army, Navy, Marine Corps. National Guard and re serves thereof. Even. Sick Most Register. But all other men between the ages of 21 and 30 years. Including aliens, as well as citizens, are required to reg ister under penalty of imprisonment. There are no exceptions. Even the sick and men absent from their precincts must register, tnough a special method is provided for them. In reply to a suggestion made to the War Department by General White, he received authority yesterday to per mit county clerks to send out special mounted deputies to register men em. ployed as cattle rangers, sheep herd ers, in logging crews and in the min ing districts where they ara so re mote rrom the county seat as other wise to cause great inconvenience.

Kead your regulations carefully many times. Your registrars most perfect themselves ln their part of the work; they must know their business thoroughly. Lost sleep . can be regained after the war has been won. "Can't." or "didn't know how," or "didn't gat supplies" wilt not pass muster as an alibi If there la a failure ln any precinct. It Is up to you! Get your supplies out as quickly and as rapidly as they reach you. The sooner the regulations reach your registrars the sooner you will be free from a bombardment of auestlons. No one with a copy et the regulations should need to ask a question. Tbey are clear, conorete and simple.

PAY-ROLL IS DOUBLED WORKMEN' GO TO TASKS IN SPITE OF" PICKETS. Iron and Steel Works President Thinks It Peculiar That Union Is Interest ed Only ln Closed Shop. PORTLAND, Or.. May 26. (To the Editor.) According to the reports In the dally press, the Central Labor Council held a meeting Thursday night and at this meeting Joseph Reed, or ganlzer for the metal workers. Is re ported to have stated that a move was on foot to call a general strike for the purpose of bringing the Willamette Iron & Steel Works to terms. It wai further stated by Mr. Reed that repre sentatlves of the metal trades councils from Puget Sound and San Francisco had arrived ln Portland for the pur pose of assisting in this endeavor to force the Willamette Iron & Steel Works to terms. Mr. Reed is further quoted as fol lows: "I believe we will win that Wll lamette Iron & Steel Works strike yet. and make this a closed town." It Is peculiar that Mr. Reed's remarks are devoted entirely to his ambition to make this, a closed-shop town. At the time the strike was called on the Willamette Iron & Steel Works at the beginning of the year, we had 375 men on our payroll, on our last pay rolf we had 800 men. all of whom are working ln spite of the efforts of the pickets to prevent them. Any of these man who formerly belonged to the union have given up their union mem bership, as they do not believe it wise or necessary to pay dues to any organ izatlon ln order to be permitted to work at their trade in Portland. It must be true that they are working here be cause they are satisfied with their con ditions of employment, otherwise they would go elsewhere, where they are not bothered by pickets. Yours very truly, WILLAMETTE IRON & STEEL WORKS, By S. Ball, President.

CARRIERS HAVE LARK The Oregonian Boys Guests at - Y. M. C. A. Banquet. FUN IS FAST AND FURIOUS Comedy Programme Is Presented for 221 Members of Delivery Force Chapel Is Filled to Overflowing.- Fun. fast and' furious, reigned su preme at the annual banquet given to The Oregonian carriers at the Y. M. C. A. Thursday night. Good reason, too, for not only were there all kinds of good "eats" but there was rn addition a programme of high Jinks such as could not -fail to touch the contagious appreciation of the bovs. All of the 221 carriers were present. besides the district managers and rep resentatives of the circulation depart ment office. They filled almost to overflowing the chapel on the first floor of the Y. M. C. A. building, where the banquet was held. 'Ilanqnrt Served at 6i30. The banuqet was served at 6:30, and when the last dish of Ice-cream had disappeared and the other "goodies" had vanished, too, the programme of the evening was given. C. S. Barton, circulation manager, presided. The programme - consisted of numbers by representatives of the various districts into which the city of Portland has been dived for convenience in han dling the circulation of The Oregonian. The opening number was a riotous pie-eating contest by boys representing District No. 9. This was followed by songs by "Scotty," singing newsboy, who represented District No. 6. Mutt" and "Jeff." as Impersonated by Alex Gabrielson and Leo Schatz. of Districts 1 and 2. offered some original stunts, which brought a great deal of applause. The characters were well handled by the boys. Comedy Skit Is Presented. A skit was presented by C. S. Bar ton and S. Slocum. of the office, and was the source of much amusement. Numerous carriers were cleverly "bawled out" for propensities for being late, running over lawns or other breaches of carrier etiquette. Martin Howard, representing Dis tricts 3 and 4. contributed to the en tertainment with a song. The last number was a one-act com edy by Laurence Fearing, clown; Clar ence Hlckok, rube stage hand, and Fred Conner, disturber from the audi ence. It was a decided success. The three boys represented District No. 7. The affair closed with the singing of "America." Music during the even ing was furnished by an orchestra of carriers from District No. 6. Previous to the opening of the pro gramme of stunts K. P. Hopwood gave snort talk. Linn County Tests Get Start ling; Answers.

In examining the papers Mrs. Cum- mings. County School Superintendent, and her assistants have found several amusing answers. Of course, out of the total number of papers submitted freak answers were rare, as most of the children answered the questions correctly or nearly so. But there were more peculiar answers than usual. Some of them follow: Morse invented the airplane. Goethals Invented the airship.

No limitation is here expressed with respect to the living or the dead. Who .re the living but the few just now tabernacled in mortal bodies, destined sooner or later to die? Who are th dead but the uncounted myriads who once lived ln the flesh and have already- passed to the world of the disembodledT If the atonement accomplished by the) Lord Jesus Christ be a means of salva tion to the few only who constituted the living during some specific period; or even to all who have heard and ac cepted the gospel while ln the body, tho sacrifice made by the Son of God ne comes of limited and small etfect. inn sure word of scripture declares other- wise. Christ affirmed that his mission as the Redeemer and Savior of the race) extended beyond the grave. Consider the profound significance of his words t "Verily, verily. I say nnto yon, the hour In coming, and now la, when the deadl hall hear the voire of the Son of iod md they that hear shall live. . . Marvel not at t taint for the hour In taw lag In the which nil that are In te graven shall hear hln voire, and nhall come forth! they that aav done good, I nnto the resnrreetlon of life; and they I that have done evil, nnto the rrurr. tlon of damnation" (John v:2o-29). Jesus Christ died upon the cross in the literal sense in which all men dle While the corpse lay ln the rock-hewn sepulchre the immortal Christ existed as a disembodied Spirit. Where was no. and what were his activities ln the ln- icrvdl uriwccii 1110 urni -1 ........ nd "1 emergence from the tomb with 8pIrIt and body reunited a resurrected nnl? Th most natural assumption l . I V- . I- I .1 .... . V. An l-i li.n I that he went where the spirits of the I dead ordinarily go. and that in ths sense ln which he had been while in tho flesh a Man among men. he. was during I the period of disembodiment a Spirit I among spirits. The scriptures contirm I thin conception as true. I While ln the bodiless state, our Lord I ministered among the departed, both Ira I Paradise and ln the prison realm whero dwelt In a state or auranco ine spimn of the disobedient. To this effect tes- of the disobedle or Christ a I no hath oar ns. thr- lust for the tnlKht bring un to tiod. belnsr pat to death In the flenh. est quickened by the Splrlt by which ha went and preached onto the spirits In nrlnon (I Peter 111:18-19). And further: "lor thin came won tan gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be Judged ae- cording to men In the flesh, bat lire I according to tiod In the spirit" (I Peter lv:6. One of the two condemned malefac tors crucified by our Lord's side reviled him; the other, who was penitent, sup plicated the dying Christ, saying: "Lord, remember me when thou eoment lnto thy kingdom"! and to this appeal I the Lord replied with the blessed as- I surance: "Verily I nay nnto thee, today I shalt thou be with me In Paradise" 'V18 xx. i V V ' .,. The spirit of Jesus snd that of tho I ,, i.ft lh(.r crucified bodies and went to the same place In the spirit world. But neither of them at that time went to Heaven, the abode of the Eternal Father; for. on the third day following. Jesus, then a resurrect- I to my Father,' and added as to an I event then future, uut go to my oma- I ren, and say nnto tnem, a ancenu ain I nr Father, and yonr Father! and to my I Ood, and your God" (John xx:l7). Christ and the contrite tnier went to Paradise; but Paradise is not the dis- tlnctive abode of God. To Infer that the crucified transgressor was saved by h' dying confession and was granted special passport to neayen w nn einn unexplated and witnout nis compliance wltn "tne laws ana orainancn ' "' gospel" is to disregard both letter and spirit of scripture and to ignore both reason and the sense of Justice. e ""d here no warrant for belief in tho erficacy of death-bed confession as a. means of grace. Only through indi- vldual faith, repentance and works can remission of sins be obtained. The dy lnsr malefactor who won from the Christ tho comforting promise of a. place ln Paradise had manifested botn faith and repentance. The blessing promised him was to the effect that ho should that day hear the gospel nreached in Paradise. In the acceptance ; or rejection of the message of salvation he would be left en agent unto niraseu. The requirement of obedience to "tho laws and ordinances of the gospel" was not waived, suspended, or superseded in his case, nor shall it be for any soul. For the dead who have lived and died ln Ignorance of the requirements of salvation, as. In another sense, for the disobedient who later come to repent ance, tho plan of God provides for ths vicarious administration of the essen tial ordinances to the living posterity In behalf of their dead progenitors. Of this saving labor Malachl prophesied In ,0iemn pi,tinness (Malachl lv:5-6); and h iorou8 fumnment has been wit- fd ln h, modern age.
