."Preparing for the great Baptist meet
ing has taken us back in thought, too,
to the beginnings of Oregon Baptist his
tory," said Superintendent John Bent
ein of city mission work yesterday.
"The first, church was organized at
West Union," Mr. Bentzein continued.
"Seven Baptists met and organized on
May 25. 1844. For 25 years the his
tory, of Baptists In Oregon was the his
tory of the church at West Union. It
may be added that all the subsequent
history of our denomination in the city
Is closely linked with this mother, or

beautiful edifice of which our Northern

"The acquisition of half a block on
Alder street, between Fourth and Fifth,
may be regarded as the first item of
Baptist history in Portland. This prop
erty, donated for church purposes In
1850, was for 30 years occupied exclu
sively by the Baptist house of worship
Rev. C. R. Blackall. D. D.
Rev. A. J. Rowland, D. D.
and then was sold in 1S93 for $150,000.
The proceeds with added contributions
enabled the church to buy the north
half of the block on Taylor and Twelfth
streets, whloh It now occupies, for $52,
000, and to erect its present church
building, known as the White Temple,
at a cost of $110,000. This building
was dedicated July 8. 189 4, during the
pastorate of Dr. Roland D. Grant.
"In the meantime a church was or
ganized during 1879 on the enst bank
of tne Willamette. Calvary church was
organized in 18S0. Now the Germans
and the Chinese Baptists have churches
here. The membership Is growing at a
remarkable rate and the newer churches
are becoming powerful organizations.
We expect the convention to be an epoch
In our local history."
WTiy, Oh, Why?
Farmers In the Dakota must ride or
walk at least a mile to their neigh
bors, sometimes a greater distance. It
Is hard to understand why this Incon
venience is put up with, when thes'!
same men can buv a 6 or 1ft acre tract
In the Broadrnead farmslte .-:i'iated In
Yamhill and Polk counties at from $100
to $160 per acre. From these 5 or 10
acres they can get just as good a liv
ing as they can off a whole section in
Dakota, Invest less money and hall their
next door neighbor from their door
yards. Broadmead Is on the Southern Pacific
and it is one of the prettiest acreage
tracts ever put up for sale In the stato
of Oregon. The Columbia Trust com
pany of Portland Is handling It.
COL. WOOD ENDORSES PROPOSED
CHARTER WITH SIX IN COUNCIL
' PORTLAND
: SAN FRANCISCO
SEATTLE .
Portland, June 5. To the Editor of
the Journal I would like to add my
vojee in favor of the proposed new
charter. v
The people were well represented on
the charter committee by men like
Richard Montague, Dr. Chapman, Mr.
Uynerson and Henry McOttnn. I have
carefully examined the charter and
while it is not Just what I would like
nor perhaps what any radical would like.
It is a great advance over the present
charter and the people's interests aro
well protected.
There is not time now to discuss it
In detail, but the thing which seems to
make most people hesitate is the very
thing which is most In Its favor. In my
opinion. The power of administration
Is vested in six councllmen. The Gal
veston plan and tho DeB Moines plan
both proceed on a concentration of
power and responsibility and Invariably
they are Improvements over the old
plan. Is the old plan (our present
plan) so successful that we should be
afraid to change it? Do we get such
great ability; such fine results that we
should hesitate to change? Is It not
easier to selet six good men than 15
Easier to watch six men than 15? -Easier
to recall six men than 15? Is there
not more simplicity, solidity, quickness
and sense of responsibility in six than
in 15?
The executive power of the United
States is all in one man, and the
authors of our constitution refused
every suggestion to divide responsibil
ity. ' The great corporations vest con
trol in practically one man and hold
him responsible. He cannot shift the
blame. It is all up to him. Portland
Is not a field for party politics, It Is a
great business corporation and should
he in the hands of some very few cap
hu men. who can be held responsible
or results. The Pennsylvania railroad
may have a large board of directors,
but the work is all done by a very
small executive board, who are held
responsible for results. The real power
Is in two or three men. What Is good
business for the corporations should be
good business for Portland as a busi
ness corporation.
We can recall the ones we disapprove
and we can put our fingers on the
right man which now we cannot do.
And bythe present wretched system of
ward election or oouacllmen, a council
man is independent of the body of (it
liens at large If only he can control
his ward.
I have heard objections to the pro
posed charter because If Mr. Simon la
elected It will put power In his hands.
If the principle is right never mind the
man. Is it not better to have Mr.
Simon where we can hold him strictly
responsible than to have him where he
can In fact be dictator, yet evade the
open responsibility?
Mr. Simon's enemies are very kind
to him. He could not run the opposl
tion better himself. With the opposing
forces divided into headless fragments
Mr. Simon will win but the charter la
bigger than Mr. Simon, and will out
last him. It puts a far stronger check
on betrayal of the people than does the
present charter, and If there be those
who fear Mr. Simon In office I say
they are the very ones who should be
anxious to have the proposed charter
In operation. I make no reflection on
Mr. Simon, but I am trying to empha
sise that the centering of responsibility
by the proposed charter in the hands of
a rew men is tne very inmg wnicn win
enable the people to watch their trus
tees more easily and hold them to ac
count more certainly. I hope all the
plain people who fell what a plunder
ground the modern city has been will
vote "Yes" for the new charter.

The Excise Bill
The excise board amendment ballot
No. 161 provides for taking the liquor
traffic out of politics by placing Its su
pervlslon in an excise board Instead of
the council. It prohibits breweries from
operating saloons and selling liquors In
competition with the regular licensed
saloonkeeper. It prohibits women,
chairs and amusements in saloons. It
prohibits hotels and restaurants from
serving liquors In private rooms and
boxes. It prohibit grills, hotels and
restaurants from serving mixed drinks,
such as cocktails doped with liquor, the
stuff the bad man gives to his girl
friend. The old cry. "It will hurt busi
ness" Is always sot up when you at
tempt to regulate the liquor "traffic.
This amendment. If adopted, will not
hurt the decent hotel business, the de
cent restaurant business nor the orderly
saloon business. If you want any other
proof that you should vote for the excise
board amendment go any night to the
entrance of some hotel grill between 10
p. m. and 1 o'clock in the morning, ob
serve the number and condition of the
women who come out of that place. The
Oregon grill Is conducted by Mr. Dick
inson, wso Is making the principal fight
against this amendment
