THE BATTLE FOR REFORM Called Off Xeiij Bat Is Still n Issue-Preparing Lord Edicts, An ominous calm hovers over the op posing factions m the reform move today. Hostilities have for tt tin ceased. The leading warriors are busy, with their type writers preparing weighty knocks with which to lampoon their adversaries Into a condition of groggyness which may induce them to retire to the rear and seat them selves. Attorney Lord for the Enforce ment League, Is compiling edicts for pre sentation to the peace officers, and com munications to side-step the accusations of insincerity made by the church. Just what the opponents of the leaKue are do ing today is not known. vtrot it is safs -to presume that some of them are sorting over the Knglish language In order to find a collection of words luridly descriptive of their opinions 'of Mr. Lord and his mysterious league, LORD TALKS ON ISSUE Mr. Lord, when 'interviewed this fore noon, elated: "1 am busy preparing let ters to he Chief of Police and the Sheriff calling their attention to violations of law which are strtctly municipal, and where there will be no opportunity fr the heads of the administration to excuse them selves for the non-enforcement of the laws on the ground that it is out of their Jurisdiction. The things that will be f brought up are those on which the law Is plain and where It. will be Impossible to delay or shift the responsibility on other shoulders. I am pleased over the attitude ot the Rev. Blackburn, who has the back bone to come out end take a stand on the Issue. Before we are through with the fight we will have all self-respecting citi zens enlisted on our side. When the rnln inters see that our work is sincere and tfTectlve, they will rally to our standard. "The issue now Is the Sunday closing of saloons. Other minor matters of pub lic annoyance will also be taken up, such as the obstructing of the streets and nign ways, expectorating on the sidewalks, eto." BRIDGE SITUATION A List of Those Closed to Public Traffic. To realise that the bridge situation in Portland Is serious, one has only to look over the number of those which have been closed to traffic and many of those which are still open are In a dangerous condition and are only kept open by pub lic necessity. In keeping some of them open the authorities realize that they are taking a long chance, and expect every day to hear oTsdme Casualty. When City Engineer Elliott was asked this morning if $25,000 would put ths bridge In gaocT rJOttartWn, he smiled Iron ically and said It would be a mere drop as some of the bridges are beyond repair. There is no money to, sight until next year to put them In condition, and the public will doubtless bf.ve to put up with tne situation until that time. BRIDGES CLOSED. Following Is a list of the bridges now closed on the East Side: Grand avenue bridge across Sullivan's gulch; East Ankeny between Second street and the river; East Ash between Second street and the river; East Oak between Grand avenue and Sixth; East Cak from Water to Second: East Wash ington from Water to Union avenue; Bejmont from Ninth to Tenth; Union avenue from Belmont to Madlpon; East Third between Washington and Oak; .East Oak from Union to Grand avenue; the bridge on Holiday avenue and East Sixteenth street has been torn down and removed.

BUILDING SCAFFOLD Getting Ready to Hang Belding on October 31. The carpenters commenced work this morning erecting board walls around the enclosure where A. L. Balding will pay the penalty for the murder of his wife. The walls are 18 feet high and are made tight so that a curious publlo will not be able to witness the execution. The en closure Is about 30x40 feet and Is located on the northwest corner of ths courthouse yard. The scaffold will hae same as has been used on previous occasions. It is about 9x18 feet, has an eight-foot drop and will be thoroughly tested before be ing put to Its final use. Sheriff Storey is determined that every thing shall be In perfect working rdet and that the proceedings be relieved it all grewBome appearance as far as possi ble. Belding is beginning to weaken -as ths day for his execution draws near. He begins to look wan and haggard and finds his only solace In reading his Bible. The only cheerfulness he has displsyed for, some time was last night when Smith, the wife murderer, was brought In under entenee ef aath, len h remarked tTilmf " - "Cheer up, old boy, you're not dead yet."

Miss Hattle Friendly gave the paper of ths afternoon. The subject was, "Ths Song of Songs," and waa treated exhaustively la the mat ter of Its interpretation susd construction by commentators and studtnu of all sges. Miss y Friendly cava many bright original thoughts of her own, and throughout showed great depth ot thought and research. Dr. Wise took up ths vari ous points in Miss Frlendiy'e paper, en larging upon tbsm from the viewpoint of a profound Bible student. la the course of bis remarks Dr, Wise conclusively proved these songs to be of religious origin and conception, and mads clear the utter Impossibility of one trained In the "Jewish " faith" accepting' them as an allegory. The aubjeot of ths next lec ture will be "The Psalms as Religion." The paper will be read by Mrs. Alex. Bernstein. After each pPr Dr. Wise continues the subject under discussion.

The program does not carry out any uniform study for the year, but deals with topics of general Interest on a variety of subjects, Inter spersed with many discussions and dis cussions, provided they are upon given subjects, insure s good live club. Except for the names of Mrs. Dunlap of Fort land, who will address the club on kln dregar ten work; Miss Isom, of the Port land Library, on "The Vork of Librari ans." and Miss Relnhart. on art educa tional topic, the prog-ram is made up from home talent which fg another feature to be commended.

It is a matter of regret to our state president, Mrs. C. B. Wade, that she could not accept the pressing Invitation sent her to be present on this occasion. It is also a regret to the club women of the state that she could not be there, for not the least of her virtues is that she la a housekeeper and a home maker after the most approved pattern, aa all who have visited her hos pitable home can testify. The president of the Grade Teachers' Association of St. Paul petitioned the board of inspectors to grant a three days' vacation, with pay, for them to at tend the Minnesota State Federation con vention. The- inspectors decided they ''knew very little about women's clubs and could not see the relation between fashion and finery -and education," but compromised by granting the vacation without pay.

This so altered his appearance that no one knew him, so he donned a suit of clothes and an old hat and went around among his' flock to test their 'charitable Impulses. He found, of course, that he was turned down, and in the very places where he thought that ha would be most hospitably received. This is a matter of course. It is people who give 7in this world who ars moat warmly received; not people who. are continually asking favors, and who never reciprocate. .
