of starting a riot among the peaceful
and God-fearing people of Portland
during Holy week. I write you as a
servant of the Prince of Peace to give
Mr. Denlinger my Ideas of the Ulster
situation. :The crux of the entire mat
ter is whether aristocracy or democ
racy is to prevail In the British isles.
Confusing northeast Ulster's demand
of permanent exclusion under the home
rule bill will never give a clear In
sight into the situation. The Orange
society has always been a purely po
litical organization, effective only lo
cally and borrowing capital from the
mean and unscrupulous issues of ra-
per pulp and barrel bolts; hemlocit,
used for lead pencils and excelsior;
also alder, so much sought after for
furniture and fdr apple and hop boxe.
The stream now called Big Creek was
formerly known as Elk Lick, since no
many elk came from up around Little
Round Top mountain to drink and get a
lick of salt water. Had the srn.m h n trn
been less piggish, there would be fln
herds of elk and deer in those woods
now. A Tew may still be found, as

ine stream is as fine a trout stream
as runs into the ncenn. nnt In th 0.1

cial and religious antipathies. There Lln vat numbers and of all sizes, eo
are more than 250.000 non-Catholic ln-tn'7 can bo. picked out with the hand,
habitants of Irelanrl nutBtrin of Ulster. Had the government chon thlsi Inral.
but one - hears no protest from this ' y tor it elk preserve. Instead of tait-
section of the Irish people against a
government which would unify the en
tire Irish race the Orange society be
ing fundamentally a local and political
organization as above stated. The pres.
ent Ulster turmoil is managed and di
rected by the ascendancy party in Ire
land, in sympathy and In league with
the aristocracy of Great Britain. It is
notorious that the Duke of Norfolk,
the leading Catholic In England, and
many other aristocratic Catholics, as
well as prominent Catholic army of
ficers, are bitter opponents of home
rule. It is obvious that religion cuts
no figure in this issue and it may be
resolved into these two questions
whether aristocracy or democracy shall
prevail in England, and whether or not
the limited veto power of the house of
lords shall pass Into a precedent and
become, upon the passage of the home
rule bill, a part of the British consti
tution. As It is, half Ulster Is in favor
of home rule, and as for their inability
to mix no more than oil and water,
it is yet premature to make any pre
dictions. E. J. MURPHY.

subject of consequence; however. I
think I shall be original and be the
first one to bring to the surface a
matter neglected and Ignores and yet
intensely interesting and most deeply
concerning everybody. I mean the sub
ject of genealogy.
Every man, woman or child who has
come to the age of accountability
should manifest a natural affection for
and interest in kindred ties. I believe
the dead as well as the living are con
cerned. "He who does not regard his
ancestors has no concern for his chil
dren," said Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The pagans, especially the Chinese,
have been at great pains to prove de
scent from their fabled heroes and
aemlgods. So prevalent was this prac
tice and so strong was the effect of
this reverence for ancestors that in
China and Japan it gradually took the
iorm or ancestor worship. Among the
pagans of ancient Egypt and Asia the
necessity of securing proper proofs of
descent in order to hold or dispose of
land or other property was sufficient
incentive to Induce those peoples to
prepare and study genealogies. The
modern world, has done a tremendous
work in the searching out and publish
ing of genealogies of forefathers. Just
how much has been done we do not
know. There are no statistics and no
amalgamation societies for the purpose
of unifying the work or publishing the
results or effort and labor along this
line. The preparation and study of
genealogies is and must be an exact
art. for only so is It efficient for its
purposes. Having had several years
of experience in pedigree and genealogy
work, 1 wish to arouse an Interest
among my fellowmen In this most
noble endeavor.

The Rebuked Juror,
Portland, April 11. To the Editor
of The Journal While that rebuke
missed its mark In my estimation, I
would like to explain my position on
the situation to the public. So far
as. the rebuke is concerned, I don't
think Judge Stevenson's name will ap
pear in American history on account
of Bald rebuke and lf it should be
mentioned In the history of the City of
Portland it would not raise the esti
mation of the City of Portland in the
eyes of any fair thinking person. I
may have lost all chance to become a
professional juryman, I can say there
is not much lost, as I feel satisfied
that I never would make a success of
that vocation. X have been called
three times to serve as Juror in the
municipal court inside of two months.
I have helped decide one case accord
ing to law and I have a clear con
science. .
In this seeond case the points, of
law could not overcome my conscien
tious feeling. If the city attorney
should ever prosecute A case where
the landlord was involved, the person
who la the heart and soul of this
demoralizing system, I will be will
ing to enter the service again as
juror, and I can give assurance 'that
the case shall be decided according to
law, as far as I am concerned. As to
the testimony in the case I think those
three moral heroes could have ob
tained sufficient testimony to convict
the owner of the premises and the dis
Assails Mrs. .Knight's -Position.
Portland, April 11. To the Editor of
The Journal-C. S. Knight, in letters
in The Journal, defends the liquor
traffic and denounces the God of the
Bible by claiming he encourages the
drinking of Intoxicants. If that be so
it puts Mr. Knight and God on the
same ground, so I do not see why he
should find fault with him.
But it Is the contrary, and there Is
where the friction comes. Our friend
knows very well that the Bible con
dems tbe use of strong drink and also
condemns him if he is a user of it.
Christ said at one time, "Light is
come into the world, but men love
darkness rather than light because
their deeds are evlL" If a man in
dulges in anything that Is evil It is
his nature to Justify himself and to
condemn the thing that opposes him.
Our friend says he believes in a su
preme being, but not in the one men
tioned in the Bible. I suppose he has
accepted the one that is popular in
these times, with whom everything
passes for good and there is no evil.
Even then he would be obliged to Jus
tify the God of the Bible and also the
clergy whom he so bitterly opposes. If
his God is superior to the God of the
Bible, why doesn't he change men's
lives and make them sober and lovers
of righteousness? There are thou
sands of proofs that the God of the
Bible has done and is still doing this.
Where are the hospitals, asylums, or
phanages or refuges for the suffering.
the sick and the homeless which his
followers have established? They have
had centuries to work In. What have
they been doing?
In reference to Christ's turning
water into wine, if Mr. Knight will
look up the Greek text he will find It
does not imply the least degree of In
toxication, and as for underpaid labor
being as much responsible for vice and
crime as liquor, there is as. much vice
and crime among the rich as the poor.
according to numbers.
If we stop the manufacturing of li
quor it will lessen crime and vice one-
half, and if our friend has the welfare
of the community at heart he should
not be opposed to that.

lodges and fraternal orders will, so

Some Remarks on Intolerance.
Portland, April 10. To the Editor of
The Journal In my opinion the New
York conference of the Methodist Epis
copal church did ! a very wise thing
in tabling the resolution requesting the
president and his family to desist from
attending services of the Thanksgiving
Mass at the Catholic Cathedral in
Washington, as chronicled by the press
dispatches in Sunday's issue. All lov
ers of liberty of action In religious
matters will indorse the action bf the
Methodist church conference. It is sur
prising that 73 out of 163 voted against
tabling. The resolution was decidedly
un-American, and manifests a conceit
upon the part of its proponents in as
suming to control the action of the
president and his family which may be
considered deplorable, Why thia mani
fest prejudice against the Catholic
church in this twentieth century? This
unwise attitude should be a thing of
the past. If he had attended a ser
vice of the church of the writer, the
Spiritualist, should he be called to or
der and his rights and privileges be
questioned.
Our thanks are due to those sensible
Christian gentlemen who wisely vot
ed against the measure.

The Dry Environment.
Hood River. Or.. April 10. To the
Editor of The Journal I trust the
voters of Oregon will not take the ad
vice of Ella M. Finney. Do the women
of this class wish to have saloons in
close proximity to their homes? Would
It be gratifying to tneir rennea tastes?
Every woman who will vote for the
continuation of the saloon in this state
next November will practically vote
for this condition. I venture to say
they personally do not want saloons
near their places of business or resi
dences. It Is the other fellow who
should have it.. Even the saloon men
of East Grand Forks. Minn., preferred -to
have their families live Just acres
