SUCCESS IN NEW YORK BIG Story fcy Alice Dner Miller, Dram atized by A. E. - Thomas, Af fords Boundless Opportunities -for Delightful Situations. " The first fruits of th entrance of A. Jj. Erlanger, of Klaw & Erlanger, into the Northwest theatrical field, were apparent yesterday in the conclusion of arrangements for bringing to Port land, before it has played in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston or any of the other big Eastern cities, except New York, the new comedy, "Come Out of the Kitchen," with. Kuth Chatterton and Bruce McRae In the principal roles. The play was one of the big successes last year, and has Just concluded a 32 weeks', run In the George M. Cohan Theater in New York. "Come Out of the Kitchen" will ap pear at the Heilig the week of August 7 to 11. It is a comedy by A. E. Thomas, founded on the story by Alice Duer Miller. Mr. Thomas will be re membered as the author of two de lightful comedies, "Her Husband's Wife" and "The Rainbow." The story of "Come Out of the Kitchen" is written around a Southern family of the old aristocracy, who, temporarily embarrassed, rent their magnificent Southern home to a rich Yankee. One condition of the lease stipulated that a competent staff of white serv ants should be engaged. One of the daughters of the family, Olivia Danger field, conceives the madcap idea that she, her sister and their two brothers shall act as the domestic staff for the wealthy Yankee. Olivia adopts the cognomen of Jane Ellen and presides over the kitchen. Her sister, Elizabeth. is housemaid. Her elder brother. Paul butler, and Charley, the youngest, is bootbov. When Burton Crane arrives irora me North, accompanied by Mrs. Faulkner, her daughter and Crane's attorney, Tucker, the servants behave so out of the ordinary that amusing complica tions arise immediately. Olivia's charm and beauty impress Crane and a maze of delightful incidents follow, until the real identity of the heroine is finally disclosed, but not -until Crane has pro fessed his love for his charming cook.

"Weeks' Protest to President la Answered by United State Attorney Reamea. Reasons for the imprisonment of Henry J. Weeks, recently caught in the Klamath Falls drag-net for I. W. W., were given out yesterday by United States Attorney Reames, upon advices that Weeks had filed a protest with President Wilson. The protest denies that Weeks owned sympathy for the I. W. W. or their radical methods, and declared that his constitutional rights have been vio lated by the arrest and imprisonment. He was manager of an abstracting comoanv at Klamath Falls. Mr. Reames states that Henry J. Weeks is the author of an article en titled, "Conscription," which, the latter aays, was written by him In February and later distributed In. pamphlet form. One of the quotations furnished by Mr. Reames Is as follows: "Its (con scription's) pretense i defense. Its ouroose offense, invasion, robbery, lust. murder and. rape. It is a word that If Jm&mmm V:;;;r;ft o 1 OR PHILADELPHIA SEES IT. 7 2nfP' cannot be so much as whispered in a nation of free men without dishonor and disgrace. No politician who makes it an issue should be suffered to live until sundown. Its purpose is death. To invoke it as an institution should also mean death instant and violent," With a situation bordering upon an archy in Klamath Falls, it is pointed out, anyone who bears the belief ex pressed in the Weeks' pamphlet may properly be detained. IRRIGATION PLAN IS NEW Pumps May Be Reversed, Land Drained or Gophers Killed. A brand-new drainage and irriga tion system, declared to be practical jind inexpensive for the small farmer. is patented by John steeiquist, a Port land man.' The system Is best adapted to plots of 10 acres. The project calls for a six-inch main to run the length of the field, connected with four-inch laterals, sunk to a depth of three and one-half feet. The laterals are perforated to permit water to be forced Into the soil for irrigation. When it is wished to drain the ground the pump is re versed. When the ground becomes foul fresh air Is pumped through the system. When gophers, fungus and other parasitic animals and plants are endangering the crops, gas can be pumped through the underground sys tem.

The North Bank Road City Office Fifth and Stark Station Tenth and Hoyt THE BAPTISM OF FIRE POWER OF THE SPIRIT By DR. JAMES K. TALMAGE, Of the Council of tke Twelve, Church a Jesus Christ of Latter-Das' Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah. We believe that tne first principle and ordinances of the Eoaprl are tl Kalth In the Lord Jesus Christ) 2) tr- pentance; (3) baptism by Immersion for the remission of aina; (4) laying on of hands for the Klft of the Holy GJvoa (Articles of Faith 4). John the Baptist proclaimed the ne cessity of repentance and of baptism by water, which latter he adminlBtenad to all who came in contrition seeking admission to the kingdom of God. Wiy equal fervency this voice crying in the wilderness foretold a second or higher baptism, which, however, John was not authorized to give. This he character ized as the baptism of fire and the Holr Ghoat, ordained to follow his ad ministration and to be given by that Mightier One, whose pre-eminence John delighted to proclaim. This waa the Baptist's testimony: "I Indeed baptixe yon vrlth water an4o repentance; but he that comet h after me la mightier than I, whose ahoes I am not worthy to bear; he ahall baptise you vrlth the Holy Ghoat and with fire" (Matt. 111:11). That the Mightier One referred to was none other than Jesus the Christ is thus set forth in the words of John: "Behold the Lamb of God. . . . This is he of whom I said. After me cometh a man which is preferred before me; for he was before me. . . . And I knew him not; but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me. Upon whom thou shalt see the -Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost" (John 1:29-33). In his incisive instructions to Nico demus respecting the works essential to salvation, the Savior did not atop with the specification of the watery birth. Baptism by Immersion In water, though administered by one invested with the power of the holy priesthood, is Incomplete without the quickening effect of the opirit. "Born of water and of the Spirit" is the indispensable stat us of every man who shall gain ad mission to the kingdom of God. While yet in the flesh, our Lord specif ically. and repeatedly assured the . apostles that after his departure the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth would be sent unto them; and the scriptural context plainly shows that these ex- pressive appellations have reference solely to the Holy Ghost. Amidst the , solemnities of his ascension, the Lord reiterated these assurances of a spirit- ual baptism, saying: "For John truly baptized with -water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence" (Acts i:5). A rich fulfillment was realized at the succeeding Pentecost, when the as sembled apostles were endowed with unprecedented power from heaven, be ing filled with the influence of the Holy Ghost, so that they spake In tongues other than their own as the Spirit gave them utterance. An outward manifestation of this divine Investiture was seen In the tongues of flame which , rested upon them severally. The Lord's promise, so miraculously fulfilled upon themselves, was repeated by the apos tles to those who sought their instruc tion. Conditioned upon their repentance and baptism in water, Peter assured the penitent Jews that they should "re ceive the arlft of the Holy Ghoat" (Acts 11:38). That the bestowal of the Holy Ghost is an ordinance requiring higher au thority than that by which water bap tism may be performed is evidenced by scripture. Philip not the Apostle Philip, but presumably one of the seven men who had been set apart for a lesser ministry (Acts vi:3-6) preached to the Samaritans and baptized many. Plainly Philip was empowered to administer water baptism: and it is equally clear that an authority greater than his was requisite for the higher baptism of the Spirit or the conferring or tne oiy Ghost by the laying on of hands. To this the scriptures testify: "Now. when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. who. when they were come down, prayed for them, . that they might receive the Holy Ghost; (For as yet he was fallen upon . none of them; only they were baptized . in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghoat" (Acts vlii: 14-17). Very illuminating is the Instance of Paul's ministry unto certain devout Ephesians (Acts xix:l-7) who professed to have been baptized "unto John's baptism." but who were plainly unin- . structed as to the necessity of the bap tism of the Spirit. It is probable that these men had submitted to Immersion by unauthorized hands and therefore Paul caused that they be baptized "in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid hla hands upon them tne Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues and prophesied." To the twelve disciples who were or dained by the resurrected Lord among the Nephltes on the American Conti nent. Chrlft gave special power, so that all baptized believers upon whom they would lay their hands should receive the Holy Ghost; and thus is the assur ance recorded: "Yea. blessed are they who shall be lieve in your words, and come down into the depths of humility and be bap tized, for they shall be visited with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and shall receive a remission of their sins" (Book of Mormon. Ill Nephl xii:2; see also Moroni, chap. 2). And in this modern day, the author ity of both the lesser or Aaronlc priest hood, which Is requisite to water bap tism, and of the higher or Melchizedek priesthood, without which the gift of the Holy Ghost cannot be authoritative ly bestowed, has been restored to earth, through the prophet Joseph Smith. The elders of the church today are com manded to preach the gospel, to baptize the penitent, "and to confirm thone wh are baptleed into the church, by the laying; on of hands for the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost, according to the acrlptnrea" (Doctrine and Cove nants xx:41).
