THE OREGON DAILY, jbURNAIJ, PORTLAND,-' MONDAY EVENING, ' SEPTEMBER 1, 1913 err) Mi - - i1 PORTS 0 R COLUMBIA EE 0 URGE EDGI .Return of Major Mclndoe New Vigor Expected to Be Given Movement. Plans of the clvlo bodies of Victoria, B. C. to sreet the immense eteamahlp EmpresB of Asia on her arrival at that i port after a long; voyage across the Indian and Pacific oceans from Liver- pool have Inspired the committee of the ports of the Columbia with the determi nation to hasten the plans for the mouth , of the Columbia for the accommodation of the largest vessels afloat. With the return of Major Mclndoe from his vacation early this week the committee expects to hold a meeting- to consider the work on the north Jetty and he hastening of the dredging; process on the Columbia river bar. Acceptances from dozens of persons named on the enlarged committee are pouring In upon Dr. Alfred Kinney, genera V chairman. In every mall. Almost every district of 1 Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon tana tributary to the Columbia have re sponded and prospects for a unanimous v cooperation for the development of the river harbors are most encouraging. Major' Mclndoe Is heartily in sympathy with ail the projects of the committee and It Is expected that new vigor will be given the development schemes as soon as he returns. - Big f hip Should Come Kere. .(..,. The Empress of Asia, touohlng at the British Columbia port. Is one of the largest ships that ever plied the Pacific Members of the Ports of the Columbia committee declare there Is absolutely no reason why this ship and others of her type cannot enter the Columbia river as soon as the dredging work has pro ceeded further. Those who have made close study of water traffic conditions even say It will no longer be a question of Inducing shipmasters to make the Columbia ports, but that they are already waiting Impatiently for the harbor improve ments to progress to such a point that they can. C. II. McLeod, head of the Missoula Mercantile company of Missoula, Mont., has written Mr. Kinney an enthusiastic acceptance of .the appointment as a member of the committee. He and other business men of that section of the country have always received their shipments 'of goods by an all rail route from the New England states. With the water route made available by work on the mouth of the Columbia, he ex pects to have his goods shipped by boat through the Panama canal and sent by rail from Portland to their inland destination. He says In his letter, Missoula, Supports Move. "I hope that you, with the help of 11 parties Interested In the Columbia River basin, will be fortunate enough to carry through successfully the schemes you have In mind for deepening the channel at the mouth of the Colum bia so that a great shipping port can be opened and maintained at or near the mouth of that wonderful river." Milton A. Miller, newlv anDolnted col. lector of internal revenue, has written Mr, Kinney an enthusiastic letter bear ing on the development of the Columbia harbors. He says In part: 'The Importance of a deeper channel from Portland to the sea cannot be over estimated. This Is a question In which not only the people of Portland and I tk. .... mo duiii vi uremn. out inn antlrn northwest are trroatlv intr0ti Tk. Columbia river is the second waterway ' in me united states. It has been said that this great river ought to be made navigable for 1000 milea . River Transportation Important. "The importance of river transporta tion Is invaluable to the United States. I sometimes think this government has unthoughtedly neglected water trans portation and we. ourselves, have hardly realised its great Importance. The peo ple of the Columbia basin, comprising an area of 300.000 square miles, cer tainly deserve efficiency in transporta tion. The one great way In which to secure this efficiency Is through the continued improvement of the Columbia river until the largest ships afloat can enter and depart without delay. 'The completion of the Panama canal will greatly Increase the commerce of the Pacific coast and certainly Portland ought to be prepared to take advantage of the opening of this great waterway By making a 30 foot channel from here to the sea there Is no question in my mifid but that Portland will be the me tropolis of the northwest. Therefore, it behooves the citizens of Portland and the state of Oregon to exert their best efforts towards the deepening of the channel between here and the mouth of the river." closer alliance with england is urged by Chancellor haldane Continued From Page One. other and lacking in our Identity of his tory and spirit. Canada and Great Brit ain on the one hand and the United States on the other, with their common language, their common Interests and their common ends, form something re sembling a single society. If there be such a society, it may develop within Itself a foundation for International faith of a kind that is new In the his tory of the world. "Without Interfering with the free dom of action of these great countries, or the Independence of their constitu tions, It may be possible to establish a true unison between sovereign states. This unison will doubtless. If it ever comes Into complete being, have Us witnesses In treaties and written agree ments. But such documents can never of themselves constitute It. Its sub stance, If It Is to bo realised, must be sought for deeper down In an Intimate social Ufa. General Good Will rr Off. "I have never been without hope that the future development of the world may bring all the nations that compose It nearer together, so that they will progressively cease to hold each other at arms length. But such an approxi mation can only come about very gradu ally, if I read the signs of the times aright It seems to me to be far less likely of realisation than In a group united by the ties such as those of whtch I have spoken." Lord Haldane urged lawyers to assist in the freshening of the conventional atmosphere which syrrouhds men In public life by omitting no opportunity . to think ' rightfully, and contribute to the fashioning of a more hopeful and resolute kind of public opinion. He pointed to the power of lawyers In cre ating and developing laws as well as changing them,' a power more exercised out of th legislature than within It , Restraint of Moral Bults. Lw, he pointed out" developed most ly through the influence of the ppinion of society, guided by Its skilled advisers. He dwelt at length on the moral or ethical rules, which he declared, more EXPEDITING DR NG more than written laws, determine the conduct of communities and nations. Without such conduct, he declared, and the restraint which If Imposes, "there could be no tolerable social life.". "The system of ethical habit In a community Is of , a dominating charac ter," he said, "and this ethical, habit 'may differ in different communities and even conflict with law and morality. But when its level is high in a nation, we admire the system for we see it not only guiding the people and binding them ' together for national effort, but affording the most real freedom of thought and action for those who in dally - life habitually ' act. In harmony with the general wlU." He declared that, if this is so within a nation, the system Is possible among a group of nations. ''Recent events . In Europe," he declared, "and the way in which the great powers have worked, together to preserve the peace of Eur ope, as If forming one community, point' to the ethical possibilities of the group system as deserving of close study by both statesmen and students."

Outside Point Visited Members of the Electrical Workers' unions, locals 1S5 and 317, which are not affiliated with the A. F. of U. held an Independent Labor day celebration at Estacada.

In Portland, a meeting of the 12 local camps of the Woodmen of the World at Council Crest and a play festival at Peninsula park this afternoon are rival attractions to the Building Trades coun cils celebration in the Multnomah field.

Miss Maud Ryan and C. F. Peterson, play ground Instructors, are In charge. Many Gather at Council Crest. On Council Crest a large assemblage gathered for the purpose of hearing an address by Head Consul Boak of Denver. The meeting: Is preparatory to the initiation of a large class tonight. The Labor day narude was well handled today by Grand Marshal Os car W. Home and his aides, and much credit for today's splendid showing and 1 the Interesting program at the field . 1 can be ascribed to the hard work of the general committee on arrangements which was headed by G. T. Hunt. In directing the march Mr. Horn was assisted by A. R- Burns, G. T. Hunt, Joseph McGuire, A. E. Hall, E. Mc Brlde, Joseph Reed. Harry Gurr and J. D. Knaues.

BROUGHER Former Portland Pastor De clares No Women of Righ Character Will Wear Them. Preaching, from his former pulpit in the White Temple, last night. Rev. J. Whiloomb Brougher of Temple Baptist church, Los Angeles, sounded a warn ing for; modesty in dress and against the X-ray hobble skirt. He declared that no woman who wishes to retain a reputation for modesty would think of wearing the costume as as caused such agitation of late. Dr. Brougher said that people who are masters of appetite and' passion and desire can live in a world of sin, and be good, be happy and have a lot of' fun. Dr. Brougher also addressed a large audience in the morning. Among his remarks at the evening service, he said: "It was Huxley who said; 'If some great power would agree to make me always think what Is true and do what Is right on condition of being turned Into a sort of clock and wound up every morning, I should immediately close with the offer.' "The Infinite desirability of always being good and the Infinite difficulty in attaining such a state make life a ter rific struggle. The most of us think that we should like to come in touch with a power that could do for us what Huxley wished for himself, but hot many of us would be willing to be turned Into a sixty-cent alarm clock in order to attain that result It Is not necessary that we should be. "Without being turned Into a clock God has given to man a revelation of the principle by which he may ultimate ly attain the desired ideal. The only sin that has power over a man is the sin that he loves. If a man is master of appetite and passion and desire, he can live In a world of sin, be good and nappy, and even have a lot of fun There Is not much fui going to hell there is lots of fun going to heaven. oome people are going to hell so faBt they can't even see the scenery, but people who love clean things, pure things and bright things, can master the propensities to evil and find their highest enjoyment in doing things that are good, it is nevertheless true that the process of changing a man's na ture, so that he will become a bee and ove honey instead of being a spider and loving poison, is not clearly un- aersiooa. Character Grows, Jesus Christ and the New Testa ment writers have given us certain principles that will work out absolutely, If given a chance. Character will grow according to law Just as certainly as corn grows according to certain funda ; m,?,ntai Principles I believe the Bible glve a formula which, if followed fear lessly and persistently, will result In a perfect character as surely as anv ! result 1 guaranteed by the laws of ' nature. There is an Inner law of trans- rmaiion as well as an outer law. Paul said 'Be ye transformed by the renew ,ntf of your mind." Let us notice then : lne process or tnis inner law "First Ye must be born again. Jesus ! Christ said to Nlcodemus that the pro cess of developing character must begin with a new birth.

This change of nature does not come by mere reform, a little white-headed boy had his hair shaved close to his head, and his old bald-headed grandfather said: Thm-n you are as bald as I am." The llttl fellow said "Yes, but I have the roots left' Clothes Count Nothing. "It is character that counts, and not clothes. The world makes a great deal over the question of clothes. No mod- est woman would ever thing of retain ing a reputation for modestv and. at laey " "People who like such thlnas will not be happy, of course, if they are com pelled to deny themselves the gratifi cation of such vulgar frivolous desires. In gaining this mastery they must sub mit to the influence of God's spirit to work within them a love for the things that are clean and good and beautiful. mere is also an outer law.
