HCH ALARMED
THROW WET BLANKET ON "LIVE
AS JESUS WOULD" MOVEMENT
Led by Dr. "IV. H. Heppe, the Metho
dist Ministers' association this morning
delivered a tew body blows on lr. J
Whitcomb Brougher's "Live as Jesus
Would" movement, which Dr. Brougher
Mas announced pe wtii maxe a reature in
his church. The subject was introduced
bv the president of the Portland Dis
trict Epworth Leag-ue. who requested
tne members or tne ministerial associa
tion to adopt such mean a would ore-
vent tne younger memoers or tne Aietno
dist church and members of the leezu
i rum ueioa carrwa away wun - i jr.
Brougher' movement, and would keep
tnem witnin ine paie or tneir own de
nomination.
Dr. Heppe said that there Is nothing
new in tne proposition to "live as jesus
wouia," mat tne unrisuan woriri bad
been trying to do that very thing for
.0 centuries and tnat it is a cardinal
rrincipal of Methodism. He also said
hat he Is opposed to falling In line
with those who leave the r pulo Its every
few months and go abroad in search of
some fad with which to return and em
ploy in gaining a greater hold upon the
community or use in the attempt to re
gain what they had lost
Dr. Rader warned the association that
the best plan would be not to fight nor
even notice the movement a it might
be construed by some that the Methodist
church feared it and was seeking to kill
it off. Other members of the organisa
tion agreed with Dr, Heppe-thal the
doctrines of the Methortlst - church re

-Salem, Or., Ja.n. 25. Appropriations
will be clean shaven when they come
from the hands or the house appropria
tion committee, according to the gen
eral Impression now gaining ground in
the house. It Is also - generally con
ceded that many of the Mils now carry
ing money will not come from trie hands
of the committee at all, or, if they are
forced out, will come with a report that
they be killed.
Among the bills -which are -very lla
ble to die Is that Introduced by Jones
of Polk, appropriating 1100,000 for the
survivor of the Indian wars; the Ma
hone bill, providing for Increase In the
Justice court salary list in Portland;
the Cameron district attorney increase
bill, fathered by Mahone; the bill pro
viding for the purchase of a portion of
Riverview cemetery for a soldiers' bury
ing ground, by Mahone: Jaeger's Alas
ka-Yukon . 150,000 appropriation; the
Brady Italian sufferers relief bill,- car
rying $10,000: the Brady bill Increasing
the salary of the constable In Multno-
man county; the McDonald bin, provid
ing; for an Increase In the Multnomah
coroner' office: the Clackamas county
mil, providing for the purchase of the
r. McLoughlln home; the Davis bill,
firovldlng for the creation of an inspec
or of steam boilers, and the scalp
bounty bill of the eastern Oregon dele
gation, carrying 40,oo. : .
0alarls; state Institution.
In addition to these there are a large
number of bill providing for increases
In the salaries of state and county of
ficers. The state increases will be
sliced, while the county officer will
perhaps not be scrutinised so closely,
providing the county delegations stand
sponsor for their measures and assure
tne committee that increases are needed.
The state institutions will have to
show' the committee ' that they are In
need of money they ask for. The asy
lum wants a large Increase. The peni
tentiary, and all of the other Institu
tions as well, want more money than
last year. The committee Is now mak
ing trips to these Institutions and not
ing whether-or not the appropriations
asked for are absolutely needed.
The house appropriation committee,
headed by Chairman Abbott, Is going at
the appropriation question In' a much
more systematic mariner than has been
followed heretofore. Clerks are now
preparing a statement of the financial
condition of the state, showing the in
come of the state, the outgo during the
last two years, the appropriations grant
ed at the session of 107 and those
asked for at the present session. On
the final compilation of this statement
the appropriations to be granted by the
committee will be determined. j
This statement will show all of the1
money called for by the special, the
general, and the statutory appropria
tions. It will show every dollar called
for by the law, a well as all that is
recommended by the committee to be
frranted separately. This report, when
t is sent to the house In the form of
the regular appropriation bill, and the
statement to accompany it, will make
rlaln to the members the actual condl
lon of the state's finances, together
with a comparative statement of tbe
appropriations of two years ago and of
the present session. ,
No estimate can be made of the
amounts demanded In total by the pres
ent session, because there are yet many
uiiia iu .ub aem to tno oesa asxing ror
money. The total nndoubtedly will be
much In excess of the appropriations of
two years ago.
PENNSYLVANIA LABOR
, FIGHTS STATE POLICE
Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 25. Organized
labor will not only resist the efforts of
the state administration to have the
legislature increase the state police
force, but will go farther and attempt
to wipe out the constabulary by re
pealing the law by which it was cre
ated. This statement I msde on the au
thority of E. K. Greenawalt of Lancas
ter, president of the Pennsylvania Fed
eration of Labor, one of the leader In
the movement at the legislature of 1907
for the repeal of the state police act.
"The attitude of organized labor to
ward the state police has undergone no
change, and we will do everything pos
sible to prevent an increase in the
force," said Mr. Greenawalt. "We will
hold that the state police is a standing
military force, created and maintained
in times of absolute peace, exercising
separate powers and independent of tho
constitutionally established civil au
thorities, its existence being & step to
ward military despotism, and. therefore,
a -Btandlng menace to popular govern
ment and Individual rights. We believe
the department should be abolished, and
shall continue to strive to accomplish
this end."

similar to the Port of Portland. At
a meeting of the member of the Port

amendment was framed which 1 to
be moved to the bill when it cornea
up for consideration In the committee

as follows:
"Nothing In this act contained shall
be construed as In any, way altering;
or abridging the power now exercised
or enjoyed by or reserved unto tho
Port of Portland and the Port of Tillamook-,
corporation created by and now
existing under the laws of this state."
This amendment overlook the Port
of Astoria, which is now existent, leav
ing it to take its chance under the
operation of the Bean law should St
be enacted.
It was the Intention Of members of
the Port of Portland to come to Salem
this evening and appear before - the
Multnomah delegation with" a statement
of their attitude towards the bill. In
stead, the amendment was drafted and
f lven to Senator Belling, who now has
t in charge and will present It to tho
committee.
It Is certain the Clatsop delegation
will take exception to the -wording of
tne amendment? in mat it leaves tne
Port of Astoria out of consideration
and this is' sure to bring on another
big fight in the house when the meas
ure come up ror its rinai consideration

the rawest counterfeiting; games ever
attemptea in tnis part or tne state was
nipped in tne duoi nere saturaay nignt
when James Kelly and Eugene Fercell
were arrested just one hour after they
had succeeded in passing $30 worth of
spurious bills on the citizens of Ana
cortes. When caught they were trying
to board a train for Belllngham. where
it Is believed they have a large amount
or the counterfeit money Hidden.
Kelly and Fercell had a big roll or the
counterfeit bills In their possession
when arrested. The notes at first
glance seemed to be genuine but the
raw feature of the construction Is the
fact that both faces are the same, one
plate evidently having been used to
print both sides of the bills. The notes
are of $6, $10 and $20 denomination
and are on- the "Planters bank"of one
of the, southern states.
The counterfeiters have confessed
passing- spurious money, but will not

The city park board seem to have
undertaken , task of tbe endless chain
order. The board recommended the
purchase of a strip of land near Sell
wood for a certain sum of money. Be
fore making the recommendation the
land had been carefully Inspected by
the members of the board, and all- the
Information which they could obtain ap
peared to Indicate that the sum which
they were willing to pay for the park
site selected was fair.
. The council passed an ordinance ap
propriating the money required to pay
for the Sellwood property. - Then an
outcry was raised that the price which
was to have been paid was exorbitant.
Mayor Lane investigated' and became
convinced that such was the case, .He
vetoed the ordinance. - . .
The question now arises: Who Is to
say what is a fair valuation of pro
posed park property. If the park board
acted to the best of Its ability on the
Information It received-and then its ac
tion was nullified by the veto of the
mayor there is nothing to -show that
the liids-mnnt of the board may not be
equally at variance with' thaf of the
mayor in ruture tana aeai. -
Dr. J. Jt. Wilson or tne par jsoara
has advocated the creation of a board
of real estate experts to pass upon the
valuations and to assist the park board
In malrlna lta aatlmates. Dr. Wilson
contend that th city hould proceed
in this matter muoh tne aame as in
nihn Tha eltv-ensrlneer rassea upon
problem that may inylv engineering
ana tne mayor ana council i im
posed to rely on hi profelonal knowl
edge aa to their procedure whenever
there ia serious doubt as to what it
should ba with regard to the prob
lems.
The nark board ia not necessarily sup
posed to be composed of member who
are able to make accurate estimate of
the value of land wnicn tney are to uuy.
Aa there is no city official whose du lie
qualify him to give advice as to the
purchase 01 parg iana jyr, w nau iui
tnat tne city snouia, ormaij., ui
for an -advisory -committee to aid the
board.
If such a committee were Selected
from among the recognized authorities
on real estate valuations in various
narta nf tha fltv tha board could feel
assured that whatever recommendation
It would make wouia oe oacsea 07 mc
best Judgment available and that in
case condemnation proceedings were re
sorted to In any Instance that the city
would profit thereby.
According to the prices set by pros
pective sellers of park acreage on Mount
Tihnr tha total cost of securing the de
sirable property will be more than $300,
000. By pruning the-asking; price and
cutting out strips of land the board ha
been able to get Its eetlmate under
$250,000 but even this figure 1 re
garded a too high.

fix months old. her papa had a boil on

that time tho child
wag covered with

ing ft, her own head ,
became infected for
it broke out in boils,
one after another.
She had about sixty
in all and I used
1 - 1 , , .
Cutioura Soap and
, Cuticura Ointment
which cured hw of
them entirely. Then.
tome time later, her little foot cot sore
between the toes. Being afraid it wu
salt rheum, I spoke to our doctor. He
gave me a powder which dried it up,
but soon after it broke out behind her
ears. They cracked half way around
and the humor spread up on to her head
until, on several oorisions, it was nearly
half covered. The humor looked like a
scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid
coming from it. Thia occurred every
rear. I think it waa toward the spring,
always bathed it with warm water and
Cutioura Soap and applied Cuticura
Ointment which never failed to heal it
up. The last time it broke out woi
when she was six year old. It became)
so bad that I was discouraged. Then
I procured a bottle of Cutioura Resolv
ent which aoon cleared it out of her
blood. I continued the "use of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment with the Resolvent
until she waa perfectly welL She is now
about eight years old and has never
been troubled in the last two yean.
We also find Cuticura Resolvent a good
spring medicine and we are iuit giving
the children Cuticura Resolvent Pilla
as a tonic. We do not think any one can
praise Cuticura, Remedies too highly.
