TIIE - OREGON DAILY JOUKyAL. POBTLANP. MOX DAY EVENING, FEBBUARY 22. 1904. n CLOSED GATES : ON THE SABBATH XT. H. J. TAX.BOTT At TKI KfcST mstkoszsT: cxuxcx ; ntsmi : Air AxovaixiVT to ivisat c&osxxct or tm xxswzg aits - C&AXX CENTZHirZAXb At the First Methodist church yester--day morning the pastor, H, "J. Talbot t, discussed the closing of the 1905 fair on Sunday, His sermon follows: . y . "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." i . These things are plain from Christ's words: (1) The Sabbath Is for man; not man at Sinai, but her Arid now. (2) It Is beneficent In character; not to.be a burden, but, a blessing. ' I want to speak of this divinely ap pointed Institute as related to the fair. Two-Sided Question. ; -, Some of our citizens think the fair should bo closed on Sunday; some think it should be open, A great deal has ap- peareL4n favor -of Sunday openlng-Ho much that it Is necessary to remind ourselves that" the question has two sides. In the discussion - of the ques tion a great' deal of dust has been thrown into the. air. The ministers are charged with an at tempt to force people.' into their ' churches. Some one said. "A minority under leadership of a priesthood that professes to wield the thunders of Stnat can- Intimidate a lot of people at least to the point of (Securing their silent ' acquicsence." ' Another said, "It is the money of the non-churchgoers that has made the fair possible." Another said, "Every man has a right to wdrshlp 'God according to the dictates of his own conscience; but the minister wants that to read, "Every man must worship God according to our regulation.", Atten tlon is called to these things to em phasize the fact that such sayings neither help to clearness of thinking nor to soundness of conclusions. Bom Things Assumed. It is assumed that the people, of Ore gonand contiguous territory should settle the matter of open or closed gates on Sunday. But that assumption cannot be admitted as long as we ask help from the country at large. Congress,, as rep resenting the people at large, whose money is solicited in aid of the fair, has an undoubted right to be heard. It seems to be assumed that it Is a singular thing for men to propose that the fair should be closed on Sunday; and especially that a condition should be imposed by congress requiring promise of such closing before financial aid should be given. But the Philadelphia fair was closed on Sunday; my recollec tlon is that the Charleston fair was closed on Sunday; the Atlanta fair was closed on Sunday, as I remember it; as for the St Louis fair we know that congress required and the board of management agreed that the fair there should close on Sunday. At Chicago the government required the same thing. XMons for Sunday Opening. It is said that the' Interests of the wage earners demand it. The1 ,clalm Is made that a very large proportion of our fellow cltisena cannot arrange to at tend the fair on, one of the working days, and that it must be open on Sunday- for their benefit., .We, know, .how ver,thAt whllatm-sune.CAB this might apply to the laborer whose' earn ings' support the family, yet it would not apply to the other members of the family; so that the number shut out would" be greatly reduced. But still further, we know that the average wage earner in this community is not so hard pressed that in the run of two or three months he cannot devote a day or two out of his working days to attendance at the fair. If a movement should be started to allow all employes a Saturday half-holiday, as was done at Philadelphia, that would be something tangible in the in terests of wage earners. But our wage earners rare not dependent upon any specially favorable provision for their recreation. . They are independent and self-respecting. ' Opea Saloons and Talr. It is 'said that "in the interests of good morals the gates should be open on Sunday. They say that it is better for men to go to the . fair on Sunday than to the saloons and the gambling . dens and other such places. - As bear ing upon the question at issue this as sumes two things: In the first place it assumes that If men are not admitted to the fair on Sunday a very large proportion of them will go to the sa loons and other such places. In the next place It assumes . that If the fair Is opened on Sunday a very large number of those who would have gone to the saloons will go to the fair Instead. Now. If this Is fairly assumed, one is entitled to ask two questions: First, would 'it not be well then to have an open fair every Sunday in the year? Second, if the open Sunday fair keeps men from the saloons and such places on Sunday", why don't the open Monday fair keep them from those places on Monday? The saloon men do not need to fear that Sunday opening of the ,falr will injure their business. But they do need to fear because the Municipal league and the Anti-Saloon league and the Pro hibitionists are eamplng on their trail; and It Is confidently expected that 'on Sundays at least-the saloons and gam bling houses of Portland will be closed before the fair opens. Seasons for Sunday Closing. In the first, place Sunday closing Is ad vocated because it la believed that a busnn is the great flesh producer. Thirty years have proved its effeciency in throat and lung troubles and ail wasting diseases.' Do not try substitutes, - es pecially now, when cod liver oil Is so scarce and high. They are mostly all adulterated with seal or other cheap oils. Scott's Emulsion is always the same. ; The cod liver oil used b absolutely pure i all the other ingredients are also carefully sVlected and of the finest quality. . ' ,' . III Mm , REV. C. B. Who Has Accepted the Pastorate of Smythe Recently .Came from Glencoe, Sermon' of His Pastorate March 6.- partial opening is not practicable. Men may be wholly sincere In pleading for a partial -opening, and their sincerity Is not here called in question, but when the prospect of loss presses upon one side, and the probability of more than making up the losses Solicits on the other, it is not deemed practicable for the management to maintain the policy of partial opening. v In the next place, It is claimed, that a sound public policy demands that the gatesbe closed on Sunday. Proof of the fact thaTthe nlghTsTest does not wholly repair the waste of the day's toll, and that periodically a day of rest Is needed to wholly repair such waste, need not here be offered. Open gates, we think, means fees at the gates, and this in turn means some thing to see, and so on to a fair in full blast with excursion trains and all the accompaniments of such a policy until the day as distinctive from other days 'has been obliterated. . A Christian JTation. ' In 'the next place we ' advocate the closing upon religious grounds. This is a Christian nation in -spite of the fact that-some- seem to be in doubt about it. It is not a Christian nation in the sense that each individual is personally a Christian; nor Is this an American na tion In the sense that every Individual Is American born. The Christian religion, and not any other, sways things In this country. One day set apart as a day of rest, and pro tected as a day of worship, and that day the one which marks the resurrec tion of Christ goes far to recognize the Christian religion. We believe that God has given us a holiday the observance of which Is es sential to physical and mental well being; and that at the same time he has given Ms a holyday the due obser vance of which is essential to moral and spiritual wellbeing: and that these two- in-one stand or fall together. This is the position of the Christian church, as I ' understand '1t, frankly stated. With such views, what -else shall we do, or be expected to do, but protest against everything, that threatens the day as either a day of rest or a day of worship? AT TZB TOST BAPTIST. The evening services of the First Baptist church yesterday were largely attended. The music by the Temple quartet and choir wan exceptionally good. .At the opening of the evening service six persons were' baptized. Dr. Brougher preached on "The Thing I Need Most." He took for his text. "Ask What I Shall Give Thee." Among other things, he. said: "The opportunity to ask for what you need places upon one a tremendous re sponsibility. . We do not always ask for that which we need most. If a young man here tonight could ask for what ho wants most he might ask for a girl. Some young lady might ask for a young man Just something trifling like that But: character Is reflected by the things for which we ask. - "First, seek an understanding , heart to discern between good and evil. It Is comparatively easy to decide between the right and . the wrong when the two are clearly defined. But most of the problems that we have to face are neither entirely evil nor entirely" good. God has given to the bloodhound a spe cial Instinct to discern the presence of human blood. The bird dog will dis cern the presence of quail when man does not know they are near. God has given. His Holy Spirit to those who are willing to receive Him that they may be specially trained to discern between good and evil. This is the first element of divine wisdom. ' ' 1 "The second element of -this request is for the power to choose the good and refuse the evil. It takes courage to always choose the good and refuse the evil. It takes backbone to always stand out for the 'right and reject the wrong. An excellent spirit and a courageous spine are both needed. It does me good to find a young man here and there who has the moral stamina to stand for the right in the face of a crowd of a lot of little felows who have a cotton string for a backbone. "Last of all, this request involves a changed heart to love the good and hate the evil. You can easily Judge a man's character by the things which he loves. When , you love the pure and hate the impure, it will be easy to live a pure life. In Vanderbilfs estate at Ashevllle, N. C, the pigs and the pigpens were kepi as clean as the nicest kitchen, but I knew the pigs did not enjoy it - So you can put people into clean homes, but if their hearts are Impure they will go out to seek the filth of city life. A bee will seek beautiful flowers and get tho honey, but a buzzard will fly over the flowers and seek the refuse In a back alley. Now you know, what you are a buzzard or a bee; a pig or a sheep. You can judge yourself by the things that you love most. Most of us need to pray the prayer of David, "Create wlthln mo a dean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.'

The Lewis and Clark Centennial ex position commission met Saturday, after noon at 2 o'clock at Its oflces in the StearnB building. The meeting was ad journed from the previous Saturday for the purpose of considering the plans to be submitted to it by the fair corpora tion. A communication from the, cor poration was received and read, which stated that the plans for these buildings accompanied the letter. This was) not the case.' Ion' Lewis, director of architecture for the fair corporation, appeared before the commission and announced that the plans were not forwarded With the let ter, as they were very bulky; that they were completed and ready for the com mission when it saw fit to send for them, and that the specifications were also ready. Just before Mr. Lewis appeared the commission had passed a motion to adjourn for one ' week. It was desired that the grounds and building commit tee should pass on the plans before they were considered by the full com mission, so they, were not taken up. A re-allotment of the tentative ap portionments made for the St Louis exposition, which was recommended by the ways and means committee, was made. This resolution provides that the general superintendent of the Str Louis exhibits shall have the expenditure of such balance as may remain in the vari ous apportionments after tne expense of the exhibits has been met, subject to the approval of the commission. It also provided that be should give a bond in the sum of $5,000, to protect the commission on account of such cash sums as it may be necessary to place In his hands to meet expenditures there which will have to be paid in cash. Another resolution fixed the general superintendent's compensation at 110 a day for the time actually spent in work for the commission; also, that he be al lowed his expenses in going to and re turning from St Louis. It will not be possible to call for bids today, as the commission intended to, but it was thought that this matter would not be delayed more than one week longer. , ' "Forest Wealth of Oregon," is the title Of a booklet prepared by E. C. Sheldon, superintendent of forestry. It is in tended for distribution at St Louis. Fifteen thousand copies were ordered. It will be printed by the state printer at a cost of about $200. A letter . from Klser Bros, was re ceived asking permission to make their headquarters In the forestry department of Oregon's exhibit, they being permit ted to sell a book of Oregon views on condition that F. E. Keiser would act in the capacity of an assistant superin tendent without compensation. The re quest was granted. George Conser was elected to fill all the committee assignments made vacant by the resignation of C. B. Wade. The, members of the commission pres ent were W. E. Thomas, Richard Scott, F. G.

MTPAKLAJTD, PAM0T7S PIH XXBTOJT DETECTIVE, GITES THE XX8T0XY . OP THE 8EXBT BOB BEST XBT PBIS0O WHERE $330,000 IS GOU WAS STOLE. . Capt. James McParland, most famous of , all the : Pinkerton detectives, and whose remarkable success in the detec tion of ' crime and the capture of crim inals has given him a national reputa tion, made a brief visit to this city last week. Captain McParland Is the mana ger for the western division, which in cludes all the territory west of central Kansas, including -Alaska. His head quarters are In Denver. For 40 years he has been connected with the Pinkerton agency. , His first great exploit' was more than' a quarter of a century ago, when he broke up the Molly Maguires in Pennsylvania, putting an end to a reign of terror which Is without a paral lel in the history of the. country. This achlevement-jnade.Jiiniiamouflt and his reputation has been enhanced by many subsequent remarkable Cases in which he has added to his laurels. "Why I haven't anything to say that you would want to put, In" the paper," said the veteran detective yestrday af ternoon. "I am simply making one' of my regular trips of inspection and I had to com to Portland to see what the captain here has been doing." and he turned, with a smile to Capt. James Nevins, who, as general superintendent has charge of the Pinkerton agencies In Portland, Seattle, Spokane and all ad joining territory, as well as Alaska and British Columbia. - The Plnkertons. ' ' "But the captain Is pretty shrewd and he has learned how to cover up his tracks, so I don't find anything out of the way In his office," continued Captain McParland. "There Is nothing interest-' ing I can tell you. unless you want to know about the Pinkerton agency. My trip Is only for the regular lnapectlon of our offices, and I am not engaged on any special case. The western division, of which I have charge, -takes In every, thing west of central Kansas. I was appointed to the position of western manager last fall, although I have had practical charge of the department for the last 14 years, first with the title of assistant .general superintendent and af terwards as general superintendent. "Allan Pinkerton founded the Pink erton National Detective agency in 1860. He died In 1884 and up to that time we had offices only in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Boston. His two sons. W. A. and R. A. Pinkerton, succeeded him and are now at the head of the business. The Portland office was opened -in 189&, and 4t wae-about seven years later that we established an office at San Francisco. We have offices also at St. Paul, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Buffalo, Cleveland and Montreal, and we have correspondents in all parts of the world." Captain McParland Is a modest man and was not to be Inveigled into a re lation of his own exploits. But a refer ence to the famous Selby robbery In San Francisco, when $320,000 In solid gold bullion was stolen from the Selby Smelting works, aroused his professional enthusiasm. .Captain McParland hap pened to be in San Francisco on a visit of Inspection at the time the robbery was commltteed and he was at once placed In charge of the case. Within two days, Jack Winters, the man who committed the robbery,' was captured and within two weeks he was sent to state's prison on a 14 years' sentence. Winters secured the gold by tunneling in under the safe in which the bars of bullion were kept, and then cutting through the iron floor. He carried his booty about a quarter of a mile from the smelter and then, dropped it into the bay. . TIi Selby Bullion Bobbery. "The Selby company put me In charge of the case," said Captain McParland, "and I reached the works about 7 o'clock in the evening. By 2 o'clock in the morning I knew who had done the Job. Jak Winters was arrested In the after noon of the next day, and he practically confessed the night of the arrest, though he would not tell what he had done with the bay. Under my direction the drag ging of the bay was commenced. The newspapers rtdlouled me for looking for the gold In the bay. but I was satisfied that it was there. It was the theory of the sheriff and the police that the gold had been taken away in a boat, but I did not believe It. Tvffi bars had been lsft on the shore sprinkled with red pepper, and the sheriff thought the rob ber had got scared and In his hurry to get away left them behind. But I rea soned that If he had been scared he would not have stopped to sprmkle red pepper on the bars, and therefore that the sheriff's theory was wrong. I con cluded that the missing bullion was in the bay. "We found Important evidence In Win ters' cabin. We found the sacks In which he carried away the dirt from his tunnel, the electric bulb that he used while digging the tunnel, a steel rod 15 feet long with a hook at one end, with which he expected to pull the bars out of the bay and the buttons of the over alls he had burned. He burned his clothes and scattered red pepper on his trail because he was afraid of being tracked by bloodhounds, and this showed me that he was from the south, where tHe criminals never think of detectives but only of dogs. This subsequently proved true, for we found that he haI done time both in Tennessee and in Texas, The Woman la the Case. "In Winters' cabin we found a postal card which showed that he had an ac quaintance with a young woman in San Rafael, and that gave us the clue to bis whereabouts. We went to San Rafael and arrested him. It was the greatest theft ever Committed on the Pacific coast. "The Selby company has ever since given us sole charge of their work, and we have several men at their smelter. They take the unrefined gold across the bay to the works and bring back the refined gold to the mint. "That's about all I can tell you. If you want to know anything more I guess you will have to tackle Captain Nevins." concluded the noted detective. "He may have something to-tell you." But If he had. Captain Nevins did not disclose it for his training has not made him talkative. He has seen nearly 20 years of service with the Plnkertons and has been In the Portland office since January, 1893. For the last' eight years he has been in full charge of this; office. He Is a veteran of the Grand Army, and prior to entering the service of the Plnk ertons he had three years' experience as deputy warden of the penitentiary at Bismarck, N. D, BPEHCEB S DXXBH8X0H8.

Portland is after the government po tato contracts. The dealers say that this cltv and state has been discrim inated against and they are-going to make a howl that can De neara jrom here to Washington. The government has la late years been an extensive buyer or potatoes in the San Francisco market. One of these contracts was let a few months ago ajid another is about to be let-. - The Portland dealers want the. next contract at least they want an oppor tunity to bid. ,'. The argument is made that It Is cheaper to buy the potatoes in the San Francisco market, but the facts do not bear out this-assertion. On most of the government contracts Oregon potatoes are used, but they are boucht In this territory at a low ngure and then shipped to San Francisco. It costs about 20 cents a hundred pounds to ship potatoes from Portland to the bay city, and the Portland men say that most of this sum could be saved by making the contracts of the future der llverable In either Portland or San Fran CISCO. ' .' r Oregon supplies California with most of her choicest potatoes, and on this class of goods the dealers say that the government can be saved large sums of money If local merchants are put on an equal footing with those of the Califor nia city. There is some talk of taking the mat ter before, the chamber of commerce and asking that body to request the senators from this state to -look into the matter and obtain for Portland, if possible, her Just share of the trade. McKinley Mitchell, one of the largest potato men in the state, says: "Portland ships most of the po tatoes to California and the govern ment, by buying the stocks In this city and shipping them out by transport direct to Manila, will save considerable money. It costs 15 cents per 100 alone for the freight on potatoes going from here to San Francisco, and then there Is the commission for the handling of the stocks the - merchants of that city, the total expense of freight and commission amounting to about 26 cents per 100. This sum could be easily saved by the government. Oregon is well able to bid on these contracts and furnish the right kind of goods If neces sary." Other potato men say: W. H. Dryer As matters now stand, we are well able to furnish all the potatoes the government wajus, and save It most of the money it is paying for freight from here to the bay city. We raise the: potatoes and can make tne prices, if it comes to competition. Fred Page of Page & tjon We cer tainly ought to have our share of these government contracts. We are the lead ers, when It comes to potato raising, and it Is, no more than right that we should have a chance to bid on public business. Everdlng & Farrell Tes, we 'think that the government should make its po tato contracts read so that the stocks could be delivered either In this city or San Francisco, Oregon Is a potato state, and can compete with the others when It comes to both qualjty and low prices. We are entitled to a share of the contracts and should make an effort to get them. It would be a large saving to the government. D. E. Melkle Oregon is well able to take care of herself when It comes to bidding on public contracts, and I think that he would be able to land some of this government potato buslnes If the stocks are made deliverable in either this city or San Francisco. We certainly have enough potatoes. If the govern ment wants , the best, we are the only ones t,.ai can supply it, for all of this class of goods in the San Francisco mar ket comes from this city. - Chatterton ft Co. We can save the government the entire freight charges which are being paid for shipping pota toes between here and San Francisco, if the g6odsre allowed to be delivered In this city and then sent by transport direct to Manila. All the good potatoes sold in San Francisco come from this city, ana it tne government wants a cheaper grade we can supply that. W. S. Swank Oregon is In a position to make some good bids on government potato orders if the goods are allowed to be delivered In this city. Now the government is simply paying 'the extra freight rates between this city and Ban Francisco.
