BIG ISSUES FAIRLY
MET BY MR. BAKER
Unequivocal Views Stated on
Questions of Importance to
Whole Community.
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

Mayor I can interfere with the law of fr h""- n w't,nl.fho eten"

tion. The food speculator may expect ond year ln Klamath Falls and his

"
The question of free streets for jit-
neys. the anti-plcketlng ordinance ana
the two-platoon system for the fire de-
partment, Mr. Baker points out, are on
tne city Daiiot unaer tne mmauvo ior
the people themselves to decide.
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."

Hawkins, who died at the St. Vincent's

MEANS filUGH TO MEN
Evidence of Registration May
Be Called For at Any Time
and Should Be Kept.

Aliens as Well as Citizens Must

OF OREGONIAN CARRIERS "WHO
istered on war census day, June 5," is
a. most important document.
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. In
one Oregon county, as General White
pointed out to the War DeoartmenL
men in a camp' would have had to go
iuu mues to reacn tne county seat and
oe registered as absentees.
Suggestions to RearUtrasa. '
General White sends out the follow
ing suggestions to registrars:
When In dOUbt. Consult th ntrtilntlnn.
Follow the -tentative regulations until the
unui regulations reacn you. Th.r, or f-
changes.
Kead telegrams you receive carefullv. thn
read them a second time to be certain noth
ing has been overlooked.
Keep a file of your letter and Instruc
tions. Remember that these headquarters are
working under the same difficulties you are
with reference to supplies and receipt of
laiormBuoa.
All must use Initiative Ingenuity, and
energy.
Neglect of this work for a single day may
pen I allure, wltn Iti attendant consequences.
ine registration system obviously was not
devised to meet the public's convenience, but
it was devised for the public safety and is
necessary to tnat end.
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.
But no one can understand them without
laving the trouble to read them oaraiuuy,
This Is one Job on which, everyons has
Cot to mtk, good.

PAY-ROLL IS DOUBLED

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,

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.

IN THE REALM
OF THE DEAD
PARADISE WHAT OF THE
SPIRITS IN PRISON?
By DR. JAMK9 K. TALM UiF,
Of the Council of the Twelve ranrrlt ef

Salt Lake City. I tab.
We believe that, through the atoned
ment of ChriMt. all mankind may bo
saved, by obedience to the laws and otv
dlnanren of the kokpcI.
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 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 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 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
