TTHE MAYOR JUSTIFIES hie open : I town policy by the plea that it pre ' ' vents private grafting. As a matter . of fact. It promotes private grafting. In . ' deed the policy was devised by a comblna - tion of (amblers and officials to cover a stu- pendous scheme having for Its object' Im munity from law for the gamblers and cor rupt emoluments for the officers. The plan ' of paying this money Into the treasury Is ". only an attachment to a mechanism of much larger design. It was meant to reconcile ' public opinion to the maintenance of public 7fambllng, by making It productive of pub lic revenue. It was a sop thrown to Cer . berus. But the private revenue is the pin clpal object. .The Indisputable and notorious facts point to no other conclusion. In the first place, . there is a gambling trust that could not exist without the active co-operation of the city officers. Chinese lotteries and outside gam blers are excluded from the trust The - mayor and his chief cut off competition that would curtail the gains cf the trust. This Is . not for any public benefit It adds nothing to the public revenue. It diminishes In no degree the baleful effects of , the gambling that la permitted. The trust covers the field, "anrir ampl-for the 'complete' demoralisa tion of the city, without the aid of Chinese lotteries or Spokane gamblers. No publlo good, therefore, can be - subserved, even within the false and hollow pretenses of the mayor's policy, by creating and 'maintaining a gambling trust Ne good motive is pred- Icable of such a scheme. A good motive is conceivable to withstand opposition In aid of law .and order, good morals and rood - government But no motive but corruption Is explicable of that Infamous courage which braves the storm of righteous protest against ' disorder, rice and the abnegation of lawful authority. , ' Open gamollng,' polios protection and as sured security saves to the gambling houses Ja expenses more than they pay into the city treasury.' They hire . nothing out of pocket by their fines. But the advantage of a trust , Is worth a great deal of money. They are willing to pay for such a monopoly. ; They have got the monopoly. They could not get it without the active Interposition of the po lice. They have the active interposition of Ihe police. They pay.for lt. - -Whoets the money? The character of and you can't keep ships away. ,- This is Mr. Mohler's hobby deepen the , ;rlver, from Portland to the sea, and fill up the Colombia basin with people. , Then everything t else will come. To negfect this and lay, most stress on anything else Is to get the cart be fore the horse." " ' i ; Only a few days ago this matter was put to the test: The question involved was construc tion work on the Jetty through which the Columbia bar fs to be deepened. If there la one thing above, another that baa lone bran realised in Oregon It Is the vital Importance of clearing the Columbia bar. Concentrated effort finally secured appropriations for the purpose, 'but while doing some good they fell short of expectation. The .work now In progress is expected to accomplish the pur pose. There is no difference of opinion that it should be completed -as soon as possible so that the commerce of the Columbia busln may feel its quickening Influence and the whole region may profit by It. The Jounml has demonstrated to the public satisfaction that this work has been grievously delayed, that not more than half and perhaps little more than one third of what the contract called for would be finished this season; that it was unlikely greater proportionate pro gress would be made on the second and larger contract. All of. this meant much delay In completing the work, the conse quent loss, of business and the building up of other ports at Portland's expense. One would think there waa in such a condition that which would have aroused the Indig nant protest of any live newspaper. But never a word came from the arid throat of the Oregonlan. Rather has it seemed to find satisfaction ln'the delay. The very con dition which it theoretically favors It utterly Ignores when it comes to a practical test One may logically If not accurately account for the Oregonlan's silence In the Multnomah county investigation where, being an ap parent beneficiary, it might Itself be scan dalously involved in the outcome, but the motive In theoretically favoring the work on the bar and practically Justifying dilator Iness is not quite so apparent. -Perhaps Jt .was because. The Journal's in vestigations first made the matter plain' to the public But perish the thought! The Oregonlan may be In a narrow track, but LOVE 13 .THE CREED. The Basis on Which a Unique Mastaohusette Church Is Pounded. From -the-ehlciigo-Journat; At Cohasset Mass., Is a church which has no creed except that contained In the Words, "Love to Ood and love to man," "which" aro spread on the walls of Its home, and which was established to admit to religious wor ship and service any one who has a religious belief regardless of what it may be. It owes Its existence to Col. Albert A. Pope, who erected It as a memorial to his son, Charles Under Pope, who died In 1899 before reaching maturity, and whose relig ious Ideas are embodied In Its creed. The church Is non-sectarian and, in the words of Col. Pope, "any one, be he Jew or Oentlle, or, Brahmin, a hardshell Baptist, a Roman Catholic, Unitarian, or Unlversallst, Pr'byterlan or Episcopalian, may unlta In worshiping In the church and may find a welcome there and be made to feel at home." "Love," said Col. Pope, talking of his church, "Is the thing that makes the world go. The Ood I believe In Is a Ood of love. I believe his love Is like the love of a father for his son. I am ready as a father to for give my son before he asks me. I do not require that blood shall be shed to atone for my son s error before he can come to me. I want no one between him and me. MISS BRYAN HAD HER WAY. I When She Found the Man of 'Her Choleo She" Determined to Marry Him at Once. It Is because of the calm determination of Miss Ruth Bryan a determination all un shaken by parental argument and pleading that this Interesting young woman is to be married on Saturday, October 3, to William Homer Leavltt, a painter of portraits. 1 When Mr. and Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln, Neb., sent out the invi tations to the marriage of their' elder daughter, it will mark the close of a Strug gle in which the strong will of the father has been overcome by the even stronger will of the daughter. . Behind the consent which these Invitations will signify to the general public is a story of supreme effort put forth by ths parents of the young woman to pre vent and, falling In that at least to post pone for one year or longer the marriage of Miss Ruth to the young widower, William H. Leavltt of Newport. SHORT STORIES surely It Is broader guage than that r the mayor has protected him from the im putation of personal corruption. But he is responsible for the corruption. If he la Ig jnorant of it his innocence must be estab lished at the expense of his perspicacity. But who gets the money? The answer to that question must be found by Inquiring .who delivers the goods.-' 'The mayor has i charter powers such as no mayor of Port land ever had. "All the executive officers are subject to' his absolute control. If he were as peremptory In his commands that gam bling shall stop, as he Is peremptory that it shall not be molested. It would stop. The mayor helps deliver the goods. The police committeemen, are vested with sufficient authority to extirpate ' the graft A DARK BARTHOLDL T IS A PRINCIPLE In architecture that very ornament must appear to serve a useful purpose. Gothic arches, or Doric capitals or the flutings of the Corinthian column, even the spouting gargoyles of the facade had an utilitarian origin. In the noble structure of the Multnomah Repub lican party, however, Mr. Frank C. Baker seems to be purely ornamental. Utility seems to have been lost sight of in setting him upon the pinnacle. Even the artistic purpose is Inexplicable unless it be con sidered, .an , ambitious attempt to rival Bartholdl, 'with a Baker enlightening the world. But that noble work of art serves also as a beacon light to the ships that pass in the night The new chairman enlightens nobody. The current Is switched. Bo he must remain forever fixed upon the dark and dlssy pinnacle, In aerial loneliness, far from the madding crowd, a spectacle for gods and men. ' ' The. situation is agonizing, but Inevitable. His fate comes to him from that statuesque ness of form that makes him the cynosure of every artistic eye. The political athlete cannot forever escape the fate of an attltudinarian. He gets trans fixed, sooner or later, In a pose assumed for merely temporary purposes. Mr. Baker took on momentarily the semblance of a Mitchell man, and being caught In the act, finds him self henceforth a Mitchell figure-head. He( is now out of the way of doing any harm. From his lofty station he must see others pull, the wires that erst were his de light to pull. An ornament cannot leave Its place without spoiling the beauty of the gen eral design. His usefulness to himself and incidentally to hia party, is done. It Is an untimely end for one so young, but we can "Every one who believes in a living Ood, who worships a supreme being, and I know a Brahmin is as good a Christian as I ever saw no one can tell Just what God is like- can Join in worship In this church. I believe It has a great work to do. It has a place for all broad-minded people, and will show the universality of the love of God. "People may belong to different denom inations and at the same time belong to this church. Of course, the services are more largely attended In the summer time, when the summer residents are there, than In the winter. A Judge told me the other day that he had come to Cohasset this year for his Vacation simply because he Wanted to attend the services in this church. "Had It not been for the church, he said, he would have gone elsewhere. We try to make every one feel welcome. Before any one can get out, Rev. Mr. Harper, who Is at the head of the church, and I are at the two doors to greet those who are present In the summer time the church Is usually full. I send out 'barges' along the highways and the hotels send 'barges' with people. Then the cars from Hlngham and Hull stop near, by. Rev. Mr. Harper does not prepare a sermon. He Just talks out of his experience. Where the bride and bridegroom will live, to what extent and In what place Mr. Leavltt will pursue his profession of painter of por traits are. matters that have not yet been de termined. His fame in this branch of art is considerable, and he has had distinguished persons for subjects. Whether he will bring his young wife to his parents' home In New port, R. I., where he has always resided, ex cept during the time of his studies in Paris, or whether they will live near Mr. and Mrs. Bryan In Lincoln, Neb., or some other west ern city, is a matter still to be settled. These and other points of ordinary Import ance are, however, Insignificant beside the main fact that the day after Miss Bryan be comes of age and her own mistress she weds the man of her choice, as she vowed she would do when she encountered the strongest sort of parental opposition im mediately after that choice was made known In the family circle. Miss Ruth Bryan will be 18 years old on the morning of Friday, October 2. She Is a typical American girl of the new century tall, comely, athletic, with a brilliant mind, well Informed not only in the general way, but also on matters pertaining to science, economic, politics and sociology. But above all sbe Is possessed of a charming personality and abundant vitality. She has always been a leader among her classmates.

Pope devotes much of his energy to the church during the summer months. when he makes his home In Cohasset The church was erected In 1900. It is of gray-brown stone, the roof being of red tlje. It stands at the entrance to tho Jerusalem road, the well known sea drive at Cohasset. This road, so typical in Its name of the names of so many old New England villages and roads, skirts the arm of the sea, most frequently called Straits Pond, but occas ionally Sea of Galilee. A plain stone tablet near the entrance bears the inscription: Miss Bryan is taller than the average girl. She is a personification of strength and health. Her abundant soft brown hair Is drawn back in loose and wavy masses from a forehead broad and high and indicative of an exceptional mind. Her eyes are bluish gray, larger expressive of kindness as well as Intellectuality. Her features are regular, her nose straight, al most' the perfect Greek type, her chin straight and firm, though well rounded. In a word, she Is an American girl of the finest and strongest type. Miss Bryan was graduated this year from the University of Nebraska, at Lincoln. Her parents intended to train her in the profes sion of law. In which her mother was long ago graduated as a practitioner, but recent events have changed that Intention. Ever since she was 15 years old Miss Bryan has contributed articles to her father's news paper, the Commoner. A. D. 1900. This Church Is Erected In loving memory of CHARLES LINDER POPE Nov. 15, 1881. 'April 21, 1899. by his parents, Albert A. and Abby Llnder Pope. Rev. Cecil Harper, who Is the religious leader of the church, was formerly a cler gyman of the Methodist church, and later of i the Congregational denomination. He has William Homer Leavltt, who is so soon to become the son-in-law of W. J. Bryan, was born at Newport, R. I., nearly 33 years ago. His father, A. L. Leavltt, how. near the end of his sixty-sixth year, has for a long time kept a photograph gallery at No. 242 Thames street, Newport. Young Leavltt was taught in the public schools of Newport. After graduating from the Rogers high school he studied painting In Boston for three years, then returned to Newport where he obtained orders for a number of well-to-do citizens and wealthy summer visitors. About nine years ago he married a charming young woman, the daughter of a wealthy citizen of Alpena, Mich. Immediately thereafter young Mr. and Mrs. Leavltt went abroad, and he studied for four years under Gerome, -the famous artist. Soon after the Leavitts returned to this country the artist's wife died, leaving a young son. Her property, It Is understood, was bequeathed to him. The boy died last January at the home pf his grandparents in Alpena. Young Mr. Leavltt has recently lived with flooded with light. Without stopping to reason Why, Prof. Crowley left his bride of a few hours and, rushing out Into the corridor, threw himself against the door of No. 93, bursting It open. At the table, dressed for the street, but pale and agitated, sat Mis Fegley. The girl was In the act of raising a tumb ler to her Hps. It was half full of a color less liquid. On the table, upset lay a half emptied bottle of arsenic. "Good-bye," gasped the girl. Crowley sprang across the room, hurling' himself sgalnst the table, which fell, and dashed the tumbler from the Hps of the desperate girl. "Do you think I want to live now when you have married another?" "You are not going to to suicide V "Dldn t you think that I loved you enough?) . - "But not for this to kill yourself V In the doorway appeared the young bride, who had been awakened by the commotion. Wonder was In her wide open eyes. "What does this mean?" she asked. But before Prof. Crowley could answer Miss Fegley again reached for the vials. Prof. Crowley swept them "all to the floor. Then he rang for the hotel attendants, rang furiously. Prof. Crowley drew his young bride frorn the room and closed the door. His .wife looked at him quietly. "She was your sweetheart?" she said. "Once." "Whenr "Years ago." '. "I never knew." "But I never loved her as I love you; she Is nothing to me now." "No, but you are to her." When daylight came Prof. Crowley and hi bride quietly left the hotel before Miss Feg ley had come out of the deep sleep into which the drug had plunged her, and boarded a train for Duluth. There was no spectral bride in the seat behind them, as their train sped across the prairies. Miss Fegley returned sadly to her home with her heart dead and cold as lead. the conductor's , whistle attracted their at tention. . , ' ' "What's he got It tied to a' string for V asked one ofthem. . $ ..

In a letter to a contemporary Mr. Cunnlng-hame-Graham tells this story: An English man and a Scot were traveling by the train. The southern Saxon remarked that no north Briton ever understood a Joke. "You might," he said, fire a Joke out of a cannon, and still the. Scot would never take it up." The Scotchman, after musing on the caae, rejoined: "Man, but ye canna fire a Joke out of a cannon.!' Knew He Would Need It. From the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Bowers, a subordinate whose dwelling s near the Junction of two lines of railway, had gone to spend a week at the home of a ' relative 60 miles out In the qulef peaceful country. "Uncle Josh," he said, aa bedtime drew' near, on the- evening of his arrival. "I have brought my alarm clock with me. It Is a regular Infernal machine, and nvlll run half an hour without stopping. You mustn't mind If you hear It before" "But you don't need any . alarm .clock. Henry.", interposed Uncle Josh. "We'll call you in plenty of time for breakfast." "O.

In other words, we appear to have been brought to a situation where the entire sur plus of the treasury Is in theory at a secre tary's disposal, to lend to such national banks as he chooses, and, inferentially, to withhold from such as he may choose. No interest Is charged, but perfectly safe col lateral Is required. Not much discernment is needed to see that this is an unusual sit uation, which should be considered with cau tion. We have said that the use made by Secretary Shaw of the asserted powers In the caae of- the St Louis banks, has argu ments In Its favor. We do "not doubt that Mr. Shaw Would, In hlsYurther use, of the same power, do his best to serve public in terests Justly and impartially. He may, In fact, never assume the same arbitrary power again, except where the money Is offered on equal terms to all national banks. But the power has been assumed and the precedent created; and, in our Judgment, the power is one which no state is likely to grant delib erately to its finance ministers, and the pre cedent one Which might, under conceivable circumstances, be grossly abused. It Is not at all difficult to picture the use which a crafty politician in the treasury on the eve of a campaign, might take of it If such control over public funds,' habitually exerted, did nothing else, It would infallibly revive the suspicions and accusations which sur rounded the similar use of the treasury's eurplus moneys, throughout the political struggles of the thirties. The moral is, we should say, that no time The property Is held by trustees, and the organisation which conducts the work of the church is called the Pope Memorial asso ciation. Those who formed the association signed the following statement and agree ment: , , "Recognising love to God and love to man as the supreme privilege in every Individual, we, whose names are undersigned, do hereby unite ourselves into a society to be known as the Pope Memorial association. The purpose of this association Is to carry on the work and further the plans of the Pope Memorial church in its efforts to do good to the community, without regard to creed or sect Membership In this association shall in no way interfere with membership in any other church."

Wheeler at that time lent to the artist the famous black charger he had rid den throughout the Cuban campaign. The horse bolted one day and threw young Leav ltt injuring him severely. 'The mishap afforded proof of the portrait painter's popularity among Newport's sum. Ward of Chauncey Depsw Is the Daughter-in-Law of a Vali. From the New York Herald. The recent removal by the Sultan of Turkey of the Vail of Beirut Jtechid Pasha, from hia post at that port of Syria in con sequence of the demand presented by Mr. Leishman, United States minister at Con stantinople, recalls an International marriage of much Interest. Rechld Pasha has long held important administrative offices In Turkey, and his transference to the gover norship of Broussa, one of the most flour ishing commercial cities of Asia Minor, 57 miles southeast of Constantinople, shows that the Sultan is by no means disposed to dismiss him from his service. Rechid Pasha comes of a noble Polish family, exiled In the great Insurrection that settled In Turkey, and has attained, under the Ottoman rulers, as has been the case with many other foreigners In Turkey) a position' of official dignity and powerful In fluence. It is his son, Rechid Bey, more gen erally known under his ancient Polish title of Count Czaykowskl, who is closely allied with American social circles by his mar riage with Miss Edith Lymart Collins, the only daughter of Mr. Clarence L. Collins of "Maxims of Suoosss. ' : . From the Philadelphia Press. "Of the many maxims of success given to young men," remarked the club man as he laid aside the newspaper he had been reading, "these should be valuable to fellows who are starting out Into the wide world to make their mark.

While he lay In the hospital many society people called to ask for him and sent gifts of flowers, wine, etc. It was through Gen. Joe. Wheeler that Mr. Bryan commissioned Mr. Leavltt to. paint bis portrait. ' "V Ms" and "I." - From the New York Press. The frequent misuse of the pronouns "I" and "me" Is not confined to the Ignorant alone. People of education, graduates of universities who boast of their culture, are often as badly tangled up as the aged darky, who, trying to teach his children the Bible from memory, came to the passage where Christ says, "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." This is the way he delivered it: "Brace up boys; It's me; don' git skeered." There was once a rapping at a cabin door In the Wild woods.? "Who's there?' cried the inmate, reaching for his gun, and a voice called back, "It is I." "Who in blazes is T? I don't know you." "It's ME; let me in!" "Oh, certainly; come right in and quit your foolln'." The statesman and the artist were soon on friendly terms. The painting of the portrait advanced but slowly, for Mr, Leavltt aspired to make It his best work. All the members of the Bryan family enjoyed the society of the young visitor, who had a great fund of anecdotes about notable people he had met and strange places he had seen. From the first there was a strong bond of symtthy between Ruth Bryan and the young painter. Within -a few weeks after his arrival they were engaged to be married. The girl frankly told her parents that here was a man who loved her devotedly; that she loved him with equal fervor, and that presently they were to be married.. Would she wait a year? she was asked. No she would not She calmly declared that she would be married the day she became of age, regardless of objections. Shirkers Escape. From the Long Prairie Leader.
