psychologist Here to Deliver tec
Ktures Says Absolutism in Gov
3 . ernments Will Pass.
"Wr ! .'diabolical necessity at the
present stage of human evolution, but
Uila conflict may be the la at armed bat-
' tie in the centuries-lonr struggle for the
rights of man." declared I... W. Rogers,
'; theosophlst and psychologist, who was
)tt Portland yesterday and opened a
course of free lectures " at the Tbeo
sophlcal hall. Central building, last night
with "The Invisible Side of the War."
"Absolutism." he said, "was the only
kind of government possible in the in
fancy of the race and it served a pur
pose then. Force had to "govern. There
was neither school nor press. Ignorance
and superstition were almost universal.
Now , education and 'intelligence are
everywhere. The race has attained man
hood and anything less than self -government
is an Insult. The last thrones on
earth are crumbling."
speaking of the real issues Involved
lnx the world war, the lecturer said,
"while at first there was naturally some
confusion of thought, the iugio of events
has made it all perfectly clear. We
have only to observe who are the chief
antagonists. The nominal kingdom but
actual democracy of Great Birtain, the
Republic of France and the United
States, are fighting the three last great
champions of the divine right of kings
Germany, Austria and Turkey. There
can be no question about the result be
cause evolution Itself Is with the allies.
"The rule of the people is coming In,
and the sun of absolutism is setting,
Klamath Forest
Fires Appear Early
, Klamath Falls, Or.. May 17. The
menace from forest fires is becoming
manifest at an unusually early date this
year, one fire having burned over 2000
acres in northern Klamath county al
ready. The fire started last Thusday
near La Pin in this county and burned
three days, according to advices just
received here. It is said to have burned
over a larger territory than any other
fire (n that district for many years.
Forest rangers were brought from Bend
and they finally got the fire under con
trol. As the timber In that district is
mostly jack or scrub pine, the damage
was not great.
THIRTY-THREE GET
DEGREESFROM GOOIP
SAMARITAN
HOSPITAL
American troops will deliver the death
blow to the doctrine of the divine rights
of kings, and very probably on German
soil."
Nurses Sent Out From Training
Course; Bishop W. T. Sumner
Makes Presentation.
Thirty-three nurses received diplomas
from the Good Samaritan hospital train
ing school Wednesday evening, when
the commencement exercises were held
before a large crowd at St. Stphens
pro-cathedral. Walter T. Sumner,
bishop of the Oregon diocese, made the
presentation and stated that the Good
Samaritan hospital, which was never
designed for a- money making Institu
tion, did one fourth of its work for
charity. - . .
. Dr. E. J. Labbe. who recently re
turned from hospital service In France,
gave the commencement address. He
declared the arrival of American Red
Cross nurses in France had brought
about a great improvement in the care
of the sick -and wounded. It had been
the practice of the French, he said, to
'close the hospital wards at night and
leave . the patients to shift for them
selves, but the American nurses Insist
ed on keeping night vigils, much to the
amasement of the French surgeons,
who marveled at their endurance.
Dr. Labbe said that the training of
all nurses who served In France was
practically the same and that the suc
cess of each depended upon her char
acter. The graduating nurses entered the
church in procession preceded by the
undergraduates and followed by the
clerical members of the board of
trustees and the chaplain of the hos-
