He said: ".What .you. want is to . get the , thing started. ' L know Just how you feel about it. Tou like to see the sport , thing- of Its kind sprung on you, you are bound to hesitate. "Now in Salem when a crowd of the young fellows went around soliciting funds for baseball the business men would give-them three or four dollars 1 and think no more about It. But this .; Is different. When eight or ten well known business 'men get together; and form an organisation and approach the , different firms, men in business ire bound to listen.

WIDE OPEN TOWN v (Journal Special ScrTlc. f Salem, Or., Feb. 8. In all of the Sa lem churches yesterday copies of a pe tition addressed to the city council were .presented, asking that body to close the saloons of the city on Sunday and to suppress gambling.

Only two men so endorsed one a Republican, the: other the only , Cltlsens'' nominee elected-rwere chosen at. the polls, and the only Republican defeated was one of those endorsed .by the league. The mayor, who was bitterly fought on the Very Issue of an open town and was op posed by a minister . who headed the Citizens' ticket. . Since the campaign closed. the organisers for the Antl-Sa- ' loon league have gone Into the near by towns, and boldly proclaimed that they elected their entire ticket Captain Ma hone, one of the men who came here to stir" up the fight, f -recently made that statement at Jefferson and alleged that the mayor was the only official chosen league. - , .

During the dis course Rev. Mowre took occasion to give his opinion of the Sunday closing of the Lewis and Clark and Clark exposition. He said In part: "The downfall of every great nation has been brought about by a disregard of sin, or all of the Ten Command ments. The Jewish nation went into captivity because they would not keep the . commands of God. .Rome fell through her disregard of the moral law. France did away with the ' Ten Com mandments and the French revolution was the result. When God gave the law on Mt. Sinai He took twice as much time and space for the one concerning the sacredness of the Sabbath as He did to any other one. He made it very emphatic, making it binding on man and beast, so there can be no doubt that the author of the moral law wants the Sabbath kept holy. Then, how can a people who make any. pretension toward Christianity openly advocate Sabbath desecration T It is this principle of dis obedience to God's commands which has and will bring reproach upon us as a people and a nation. When men pro fane God's' name, it then becomes. eajy to desecrate the Sabbath.- From Sabbath-breaking . all other vices ' will naturally-follom -By so doing we will create an underlying principle which will finally predominate in all our deeds, If allowed to continue. We find already many harmful results growing out of this disposition to disregard God's moral law.' Among them We find legal ising the -saloons and gambling dens, looking with complacency on prostitu tion, a disregard ' for the laws of the land by the officers whose business it Is to enforce them. Out of these evils come all other crimes. With a saloon In the national capltol the open desecration of the Sabbath day, prostitution flaunting Its- brazen face in the streets of our city, and. the history of the downfall of mighty nations staring us In the face, Is It any wonder the Christian peo ple of Oregon are making, An effort to hive the exposition, closed on the holy day? .''.. :, "We want the fair to ' be a perfect success In every particular, but men differ as to what makes success, ' Will great crowds, with all financial claims met, make it a success T If we rightly understand the objectof the exposition, It is many sided. First, It Is to Show the world the wonderful resources of this beautiful state. Second, as has al ready been exjegecd, a means of educa tion. Third, that it may be a financial success In every particular. Lastly, that all these taken together may be a means of drawing to "our coast a desirable class of homeseekers, and ' interesting capitalists so our vast resources may be developed. We contend that the mere fact that the grounds are to be closed on, Sundays will of Itself be a means of interesting the very class of people we want. When men find we are a law abiding ahd God-fearing people they will not hesitate to move their business in terests and their families here. We do not want gamblers, thugs and libertines as cltlsens. Neither do we want whisky mills and breweries to ruin our boys and drag down our girls. If the fair -Is to remain open on Sundays, many men who will have made arrangements to come, looking for future homes and a place to invest their money wilt never be seen on the grounds, 'v' i ' "They tell us to keep the gates open to accommodate the. poor, who cannot come any other time. It Is this very principle which Is gradually forging chains, on the laboring class. Are we not already In this city working thous ands of men every Sunday against their will? Be not-deceived, this Is a dia bolical plan; It never comes from above, but Is born of a disregard for God and His law, and It will work wreck and ruHvf or-sln -la verily reproach to any people. If we foster such principles they will finally grow into a French revolution or a Roman downfall. I had rather see the exposition fail, as the world terms failure, than te succeed by breaking, this holy commarid of God, but it will not fall. 'Let the word go to the ends of the earth that the expo sition Is closed, absolutely, on Sunday. and every righteous man and desirable homeseeker will .sing our praise. Have the people become so far lost to all the principles of truth and righteousness that they will refuse to visit our. fair land simply because we refuse to break God's holy word? Reason and bus! ness. judgment cry no. We have asked the national government for financial aid, 1 and we ought . to have it by all means, and I believe we will get it, but God forbid that we should receive help to advertise our 'disregard of the holiest and best principles of truth. Let us use our Influence In every honorable way to have the Sunday closing clause In the contract from the government, and by thus doing honor God and our fair state, for be assured God will hold us morally responsible." , Mr. 'Mowre closed by making a strong plea for righteous home training and in the individual. . . .

"Winds and tides play" a very Im portant part In a young man's life. They either make or break him, accord ing as be may use them. . One of the tides In the affairs of a young man Is a good education. Americans do not like to serve an apprenticeship. They1 are too much In haste. The prepared man is the needed man today. The clerk who prepares himself and is alive to his em ployer's Interests is the man who goes up.

Oswald Lohan, the imperial German consul for Portland, will soon forward his annual report to the German govern ment at Berlin.- In addition -to htsien nual report. Herr Lohan sends special reports daring the year, as occasion may require. . The report reviews the condi tions of trade, traffic conditions, the amount of the mineral output, that of the fishing industry and yearly-review of Oregon manufactures! the status of shipping, etc, Herr Lohan notes the decrease in for eign shipments. These have been occa sioned, he finds, by a previous larger amount of flour being manufactured and sent to Japan, China. and other Oriental countries. Heretofore grain shipments have been larger to European ports, but the demand of the Orient for Oregon flour has decreased the grain cargoes to Europe and deflected them in the form of the manufactured product to the Orient. He finds, also, that depressed freight rates and the activity of crimps have .seriously affected shipping. His records show that In 1901, .36 German ships, visited Portland. In 1902 there were 25, and In 1903 there were but 12, He finds that English and French ship ping fell off In the same proportion, on account of the .same causes.
