Conditions Change.
"In a short period these conditions
have changed. Certain lines of business
are almost stagnant, because of the fear
of the people as to the stability of some
of our institutions. Money is hoarded
Instead of flowing Into the ordinary
channels of Investment, securities and
the various oommerclal Interests.
two primary causes are responsible
for this condition. First, the gross vio
lation of law by some corporations and
grafting by some public .officials; and
second, ft'y a deficient currency system,
wholly Incapable of responding to the
needs of Commerce when fear and un
certainty are engendered in the minds
0 the masses.
"The starting of this period of unrest
ana distrust was the exposure brought
-about by the Insurance investigation in
New York, where It was shown that
the trustees of big corporation, acting
for millions of our people and repre

Patent medicine government Is what
Father Peter C. Yorke of Ban Fran
clsco calls the modern tendency to seek
relief from natural conditions through
the aid of new laws or doses of reform.
Father Yorke spoke at the opening
of the Catholic Young Men's club at
Williams avenue and Morris street last
night. A pleasing program of musical
numbers was given prior to the talk by
Father Yorke, which Included a vocal
solo by Mr. Godfrey, a violin solo by
Miss Barton, and a soprano solo by
Miss Collins, all of which were warmly
applauded.
America Is patent medicine mad.
said Father Yorke. "Every kind of
medicine seems to have Its times of
gruat popularity. It's the same way
with patent medicine politics. Now one
kind of medicine seems to be the dodu
lar one, and pretty soon another brand
comes along and sweeps It off Its feet
A while back we had the greenback pat
ent medicine, which was going' to cure
all our Ills. Then we were offered the
silver panacea, which we were told
would bo good for what ailed us. Just
at present we believe that the mtllen-
lum win come on this earth u we can
put a millionaire in jail."
Working Through Individuals.
The speaker said that the rreat evil
or slavery was the breaking up of the
family. It was for that reason that
the Catholic church has set Itself
against It in Europe, although Christ
nowhere mentioned slavery. He said
there Is only one way to get principles
Into the human hearts, and that Is
thiough the Individual. Laws and new
plans for reconstructing the social fab
ric are useless unless the work begins
with 'the Individual. For this reason
the modern divorce evil strikes at the
foundation of the family. The princi
ple, of justice must be got Into men's
nearts ana minds.
He said that it was the fashion fnr
the newspapers to pick on the politi
cians. The newspapers are the greatest
evil of the day. artyway. and their chief
delight Is to claim that the politicians
are picking your pockets under your
nose. They accuse them of everything,
from stealing to killing their grand
mother. Human nature, however, has
not changed, and doesn't Improve nor
frrow worse. So far as human nature
s concerned we are still In the tallow
candle age.
Patent Medicines Useless.
"We may breed fine horses; we can't
breed fine men," said Father Yorke.
"No patent medicine can cure man. The
individual must first purify himself
then look to the good Of his fellow men.
You can't; make a man good by legislat
ing against him. We spend too much
nine in conjugating tne verb to sav'
and never reach the conjugation of the
verb 'to do.' They talk of many things.
They talk of the railroads. It Is no
sin to own a railroad, but don't bite off
more than you can chew. T hellevn It
would be a good thing If the public
utilities were in public hands. You

, Dallas, Or., March 21. P. C.
Johnson, wanted on a charge of
stealing a horse from a farmer of
the Mission bottom, near Salem, was
taken In custody by Sheriff Grant
of Polk county, this evening upon
alighting from the Dallas-Salem
stage. Sheriff Grant was notified
by the sheriff of Marlon county this
morning to be on the lookout for
a horaethief and immediately went
to work on the case. A man bear
Ing out th'e description of the party
wanted had arrived in town last
night, riding a bay horse, which he
left in a feed stable. The horse
vks recognised by Sheriff Grant as
an animal belonging to Ira Reming
ton, a farmer living four miles south
of Dallas.
Getting in communication with
Remington over the phone, he found
the horse had been traded to a stran
ger Friday afternoon for the stran
ger's roan animal, the unknown man
receiving $50 In cash on the transaction.
The sheriff found that a man an
swering the description of the party
wanted, had cashed a check at the
saloon of D. A. Madison late Fri
day night, signed by Remington, for
$50. He also discovered that the
man had stayed at a boarding-house
last night, leaving early this morn
ing, supposedly for'Portland.
Officers at Portland were imme
diately notified to be. on the look
out. While awaiting news from Port
land the sheriff was astounded to
see his man climb from the Salem
stage. The fellow was immediately
placed under arrest. He was iden
tified" by both Remington and Mad
ison and was placed in the county
Jail to await the arrival of the Mar
ion county sheriff.
Remington has stopped payment
on the check, and there will prob
ably be more trouble on that score.,
Johnson strenuously denies his
guilt.
