Scottish Rite Reunion Was
A Most Successful Affair
Nearly Every County of Oregon Was Represented at Gathering;
Oonf erring ot Uegrees Important feature ot the uath

- The thirty-ninth semi-annual reunion
'of the Scottish Rite Masons of the
'"Valley of Portland," Oregon, con
cluded Saturday evenlngr, was one of
the most successful known in Ms his
tory. A -Victory Class of 167 new
members was graduated in the thlrty
fecbnd degree. The members of this
class represented nearly every county
in Oregon, and several different states.
The reunion began Wednesday morn
!Ing with the conferring of the fourth
"degree of "secret master," and con
tinued until Friday afternoon, when
the thirty-second degree, '"master of
:the rfcyal secret," waa given.
' The thirty-third degree is confined
to but a lew and is never given except
for distinguished or faithful service.
In the United States there are two
jurisdictions of the Scottish Rite Ma
sons, working in harmony. Oregon
'belongs to the southern jurisdiction,
-of which George F. Moore, of "Wash
ington. U. C. is grand commander.
This supreme council is represented in
each "valley" by one thirty-third de
gree member. In Oregon the represen

Drink Hot Water
If You Desire a
Rosy Complexion
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an Inside bath.
To look one's best and feel one's beat
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre
vious day's waste," sour 'fermentations
and poisonous toxins before it is ab
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a certain
amount of incombustible material in
the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins ' artd poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are In
tended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it. which is a harmless means of wash
ing the waste material and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels,
before putting more food into the stom
ach. '
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spotsi pimples or . pallid com
plexion, are those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipaUon should begin this phos
phated hot water drinking.
A quarter pound of, limestone phos
phate costs very little at the drug store
but ; Is sufficient to demonstrate that
just as soap and hot water cleanses,
purifies ajnd .freshens . the ; skin on the
outside. Use - hot - water and limestone
phosphate act on the Inside organs. Ad.
Journal Readers Discuss
Wide Variety of Subjects
People Express Opinions on Matters of General Concern in Let
ters Addressed to the Ed itor; Divers Views Are Pre
sented on Affairs at Home and Abroad.
The Foreign Language Problem
Astoria. Jan. 11. To the Editor of The
Journal Would it not be better to be
gin at once the deportation of every
"un-American" and foreigner who has
refused to become a citizen and re
fuses to speak the English language?
Such people can never become good
Americans, from the fact that they read
their foreign papers, printed in their
foreign language, listen to their sermons
and pray and speak in their foreign
tongue. It Is disgraceful as well as dis
gusUng to go into a public place and
not be able to hear a word of English
spoken by any of the occupants.' This
is quite a cWimon occurrence in many
places. I think it would be well jf the
large employers of labor would see to
it that only the English language was
spoken by their workmen while on duty.
When the Tower of Babel was being
erected, as the story goes, Jehovah heard
of it and came down to see about it.
He found it worse than he had expected.
How did He stop it? Did He use ex
plosives? Did He cause a great tornado,
or an earthquake, to shake it to pieces?
No. He said to the man on the wall.
"Mortar is something else." To the
man below, He said, "Brick has another
name." And He' confounded' their lan
guage in such a manner that when the
man on the wall called for mud, the
fellow below sent up rock or brick ; if
he wanted a trowel, a stone hammer was
sent up ; and so on, until the morale of
the workmen was broken and the job
abandoned.
Hundreds of cases could be cited In
recent times by different manufacturers
and companies of very disastrous ac
cidents as the result of workmen being
unable to understand English. Compel
them to speak it, or quit their job; by so
doing it will compel them to have a
more wholesome respect for our coun
try and its institutions.
I trust the Defense league will not
disband for the next 10 years, but will
continue the good work. We may see
at the present time, now and then, some
of the "un-Amerlcans" showing their
teeth, since the war Is over. Now is
the time to stop it- The returning sol
diers. Red Cross and Defense league
should join hands for this purpose.
Every member of the Red Cross should
see to it that no pro-German goods
manufactured in this country or abroad
are permitted to be handled by their
dealer. NO. 362.
Legislative Bolshevism
PorUand, Jan. 14. To the Editor of
The Journal Were the members of the
last Oregon legislature Bolsheviki? No
doubt many of them would be indignant
at the mere suggestion of such a thing.
However, if they were not, why did they
pass a law to protect whlskers? And
why did they pass that law just when
Bolshevism was raising its ugly head
in Russia? It is a matter of common
knowledge that whiskers are a necessity
only to the Bolsheviki. Either the mem
bers were badly tinged with Bolshevism,
or "they had It in" for the barbers.
Possibly they determined ,to have re
venge on the barbers of Salem. At any
rate, they enacted a law making it a
felony for any barber .to ply his trade
with a razor within the state of Ore
gon, and. lest any barber should escape
by proving, as many of them might,
that they were really not barbers, they
made it a felony for any person to at
tempt to use a razor in ' this state.
Section 7, Laws 1917, provides : "Any
person who attempts to use, or who with
intent to use the same unlawfully
against another, carries or possesses a
dagger, dirk, dangerous knife, razor,
stiletto, or any loaded pistol, revolver or
other firearm, or any instrument or
weapon Of the kind commonly known as
a blackjack, slungshot. billy, sandclub,
sandbag, metal knuckles, bomb or bomb
shell, or any other dangerous or deadly
weapon or instrument, is guilty of a
felony." .The punishment may be 'by
imprisonment In the penitentiary for not
exceeding five years."
It will thus be seen that any person
who attempts to use a razor in this
state is guilty .of a felony. Let the
whiskers grow. J.: C J.
Defends Tobaeco
Portland, Jan. 6. To the Editor of
The Journal. Some are agitating for
prohibiUon of tobacco. What next?
It seems some people delight in hatch
ing up something to make others miser
able. ToDacooy Ikruor,' and other "th! ngs
along this line are the gi fta of nature
and were :. created for man's benefit.
ND, SUNDAY MORNING,
Suppose we should prohibit the use of
tobacco. It would make more sneaks,
law-breakers and hypocrites than prohi
bition of liquor has. Men would go
behind woodpiles and into basements
to sneak a smoke, and would substi
tute other weeds for tobacco, the same
as some use bay rum In place of whiskey.
Tobacco does some people good, while
it is harmful to others. If a man uses
tobacco and it hurts him. he ought
to have sense enough to quit it. Ac
cording to prohibition logic, because it
hurts some we should take it away
from . all. When-our soldiers were in
the trenches in Europe, they cried for
tobacco and liquor. We can't kill what
nature has created for mankind. Our
great theologians have battled against
our social evils for many centuries, and
have made very little progress. It
seems every fallacy has Jts day.
How can we smoke the pipe of peace
when they take our pipe' away? This
article is not 'written to cast any re
flections on war-time prohibition, but
to show that prohibition laws will not
kill the gifts of nature.
EDWIN A. LINSCOTT.
A Memorial Mountain
PorUand. Jan. 11. To the Editor of
The Journal I would suggest that we
change the name of Mount Hood and
name it in honor of our boys Jiame it
Mount Liberty. The name itsell would
be suggestive of. the great event. Human
hands cannot erect a monument great
enough, grand enough nor high enough.
Only God could erect their monument.
Mount Liberty is the most beautiful
mountain on the American continent :
God has given us his best ; our boys did
their best; surely we will do our. best.
Who is Mount Hood named after?
Scarcely anyone in Oregon knows. The
author of the book entiUed "The Guard
ians of the Columbia" says that Lieu
tenant Broughton of Vancouver's ex
ploring expedition, in quest of new ter
ritories for his majesty George IIL sail
ing up the Columbia river- In October,
1792, named it in honor of Rear Admiral
Samuel Hood of the British navy, who
distinguished himself in naval battles
during the American revolution.
Thts will answer for the keynote for
all other beautiful suggestions that have
been made. We do not wish to disap
point anyone, so let those who wish to
build a highway go to it in the same
spirit our boys did ; build a highway
from Salem, the seat of government, to
Portland, the metropolis, thence to
Mount Liberty, with a "Liberty Circle"
encircling the mountain at its base. Call
it Liberty highway and make it a high
way the like of which human eyes nev
er gazed on before. Let those who wish
to build a hospital go to it with as high
ideals and pure motives as our soldiers
did ; build It somewhere la view of the
highway, and any doctor or nurse will
know if they can make good in Liberty
hospital their requtation will be estab
lished. If the artist wants a hand in
this great work, tell him to paint the
best picture of Mount Liberty.
J. J. OEDER.
Fire and Police Consolidation
Portland, Jan. 15. To the Editor of
The Journal I submit a plan which
would greatly reduce the expense of the
Portland police and fire: departments.
Policemen now work eight hour shifts
and firemen work 10 and 14 hour shifts.
Why not consolidate the two depart
ments into one and stnork 12 hour
shifts and all . police and firemen do
both police and fire duty? Those ou
outside patrol could do all . fire inspec
tion; and prevention work, thereby re
ducing the fire department about 20 per
cent . Those on duty at fire staUons
could be used as .reserve policemen and
would do away with the reserve force
now kepfc at police headquarters and re
duce the police force 20 per cent. Fire
stations would . be sub-police stations
and would, be handy for the people, and
the city would be protected at all times
against loss of life and property. Fire
stations could cover in and release each
other automatically as they do now. In
case of downtown fire companies go
ing to fires, outside companies move
up and take their places. Both fire
and police headquarters could be at
Second and Oak. where the police sta
tion is now. Such a consolIdaUon would
greaUy strengthen the efficiency of both
police and fire bureaus and would re
duce the cost of , operation of the:' two
departments about $250,000 a. year. ;U .
Ali city ordinances -could be enforced
JANUARY 19, 1919.
on patrol duty or from fire stations
and firemen would have a chance to get
away from the monotony of staying at
station day in and day out. Shifts
could alternate so they could be on duty
at stations a few days, then go on patrol
duty outside. There should be no ques
tion as to the legality of such a plan
of consolidation, as the supreme court
has handed down the decision that fire
men are fire officers same as policemen
are police .officers.
.LOYAL FIREMAN
Lumber Mil! Wage Cuts
Dallas, Jan. 11. To the Editor of The
Journal I have read many of the let-
ala oi you io give me people a cimnce
to exchange thoughts through the col
umns of your paper.
I am very grateful to the L. L. L. L.
committee of local No. 24, district No. 2,
for their letter to The Journal, dated
January 5. It has given me courage to
report conditions at the Willamette Val
ley Lumber company's mill at Dallas.
This company went stronger on the cut
of wages than the companies mentioned
by the committee. After soliciting
among the employes for the reorganiza
tion of the Loyal Legion, and trying to
find as nearly as possible what they
thought of the Loyal Legion as a peace
time organization, urging the men that
it is to their interest to Join the new
Loyal Legion organization, the next
move was to announce to some of the
workers that wages would be cut from
20 cents to 40 cents per day. Any per
son can see the "iron hand" reaching
out to clutch the workingmen. ' The men
have not walked out. They are not an
organized union and have not the cour
age to stand together for the good of
all. The "iron hand" knew It was taking
advantage of the workers. It caught
them at a time when it seemed impossi
ble for them to resist, as some of the
men have had severe sickness in their
families. . and there are heavy bills to
be paid. Most of them have Liberty
bonds, with the heaviest payments due
this month, and the cost of foodstuffs
still on the increase. Some of the men
are afraid if they lose this little "measly"
day's wage they will be facing worse
condJUons. and out of .a job in midwin
ter. This is the "mailed fist," the
tyranny our armies have fought so
valiantly to subdue. Would it not be
wise to look well into conditions of this
kind before our working people are
driven to- revolt? These workers are
true Americans and are entitled to a
fair share of liberty and freedom.

A Protest
Cottrell, Jan. 14.t-To the Editor of
The Journal Why all this commotion
about the Socialist party? What crimes
have we committed that we should not
be allowed to hold our meetings in
public buildings? Is It a crime to be
lieve in justice and equality for man
kind? The Socialist party is a recog
n!zed political party at the polls. It
fhas not yet een made a criminal act
to vote the Socialist ticket Then why
are we not allowed to voice our belief
in the government of the people, as
other political parties are allowed to
do? Who is it that so fears us that
they must talk of violence to silence
us? Is it the common people, or those
who have wealth at their command?
Socialism has not sorung up. In a night.
For years it has been the cry of the
downtrodden of every nation. Tolstoi
tried to lead the masses of poor people
In Russia from their misery by Social
ism. He taught justice, not violence.
Those in, power; over the poor were the
violators of peace, for they used violence
to destroy every right of the poor. If
we asa nation have become a liberator
for the oppressed of the world by giv
ing our boys to die on foreign battle
fields why this oppression of our own
people at home? The inconsistency of
such injustice Is plain.

Colonel Thompson and Bolshevism
Portland. Jan. 12. To the Editor of
The Journal I have been highly enter
tained by your editorial and the letters
from the people on the Bolshevist
trouble, and heartily agree with you
that it is being used as a sort of "bogey
man"to scare the unintelligent. An In
teresting sidelight was thrown on the
question last weekwhen the Republican
national committee went oit record as
violently opposed to- Bolshevism. Of
course this waa to' have been expected.
The American reading public have not
been permitted i to hear the other side,
and the cause of the Russian people's
struggling against their former masters'
has elicited but little ' sympathy from
liberty loving Americans. , .
. But that same Republican national
committee at the very same . meeting
appointed a sub committee . to prepare
the ground for a suitable and fitting
memorial to the late Former President
Roosevelt. - Of ? all the publk; , men - In
the Republican ranks who were avail
able for the chairmanship of this sub
committee can you explain-why it was

lected? You will doubtless recall that
Colonel Thompson, a very wealthy
American mining man. and head of the
Thompson-Gray copper interests, was
at the head of our Red Cross at Petro
grad a year ago. On his return to New
York he delivered an address before
the Rocky Mountain club, which was
inserted In the Congressional Record by
Senator Calder of New York." with a
laudatory introduction. At almost the
same ' time it was stated that Colonel
Thompson had given over 11.000.000 of
his own money to aid the - Bolsheviitt
cause. In his address he compared the
Russian Bolshevist 'government as equal
to the "miners' law" of the West,
which, he added, "was always good
law." ' , . ',
I have little use for the anarchist or
the I. W. W., and I can frankly say
that I favor as strongly the control, by
the money mad. To my mind the so
lution of present industrial troubles
will not be reached by either of the
facUons. ny oily remedy lies in the
hands of cool-headed. ' clear-brained
Americans, who will not be much Im
pressed with the rantings of the "pro
letariat." so-called, nor. with, the equally
unintelligent men of "big business,"
who have for .the moment thrown dust
into the eyes of the reading and gullible
public by carefully camouflaging the
truth of the present troubles .through a
senile press. ARTHUR PATRICK.
The Married Woman's Job -Salem,

Journal There is no reason for sending
questionnaires all over the state, if the
legislature would pass a bill to bar
married women from holding Jobs.' Just
look In the stores, state institutions,

the very best Jobs are held by married
women who have husband that are get

Pounds On Tanlac Now
Eats Anything
"When I , finished taking my firrt
bottle of Tanlac I could not see much
improvement In my condition, but. if
I had given it up at that time It would
have been the mistake pr my life,"
ald John E. Shipley, of lL'83 . Sanchi a
street. San Francisco.
"It has certainly paid me well," fie
continued, "to stick to Tanlac, for a few
bottles have dona me more real good
than everything else I have taken
combined,, and I-have spent a small
fortune trying to get relief. I have suf
fered from stomach trouble for. twenty
five years ago and had despaired of evr
getting well until Tanlac commenced to
put me in shape. I used to. have my
worst trouble about' three or four hours
after eating when I would have a slck
ish feeling through my stomach and
such fearful pains about rny llvt-e
that I could hardly stand It. On
raid I had gall stones and would
never recover without an operation. I
then had an X-ray- examination un '
was told it was my liver that caused
rny trouble, and . so it went on, one
saying one thing and one another. In
the- meantime 1 was put on a diet of
cereals and toast, and from that to a
milk diet. For mix solid weeks before
I began taking Tanlac 1 never had a
bite of anjr kind of food Just drank
milk and was literally starving, but
the dieting did no good and I gradually
got worse. I was also troubled wilft
constipation- There has been months
at a time when I was unable to work and
one time I ' was laid up for a whole
year. ;'.-; s
"So things ' rocked along until a
friend of - mine talked me - into 'trying
Tanlac. When, I started on this medi

fifteen -pounds had dropufd eff from
ope hundred and. flfty-twoso ;you can
imagine what a dreadful condition I
was In. Well, my first bottle of Tan
lac never helped me any that I could
tell but I couldn't afford , to condemn
a medicine so many people caid had
helped them, so. I kept on taking it and
am certainly glad I did for It has really
and truly made me feel like a new man.
I never. felt any great improvement until
after I had taken five or six bottles and
then I began gradually feeling better.
Bo I. kept right on., taking five or t
more bottles, and by that, time , I was
weighing one hundred' and tblrty-sl
pounds had gained twenty-one pqunds
and . since- then I have felt perfectly '
sound and well. ' I never have an aeh-i
or pain nor a sign of stomach troubl
any more. 1 sleep like a log every niirht
and have more energy and strength than
I have in yetft-s. This is certainly one.
happy new year for me and is the f itt .
hone in twenty-five when-1 could say-1
was free from suffering. I still take a
dose now and then and would buy tin
