IN THE NAM K OF PEACE
Portland, Oct . To the Editor of The
Journal The keynote of an editorial In
today's Oregonlan entitled "The Newest
Wilson Appeal," appears to be aimed
against what they call the president's
"especially domineering spirit." It seems
to be the unpardonable sin. in the eyes
of the reactionary press, and has been
the basis of all the attacks of a yelping
pack baying at the Instigation of their
master's voice, a coterie of senatorial
politicians in charge of the Republican
party, who, as President Wilson says,
are practicing their old game of "delud
ing the people." lu their unholy enter
prise for mere party spoils they are will
ing to sacra ice me greatest instrument
for human progress, the League of Na
tions, ver devised by great men of great
nations, after the greatest catastrophe in
I the world's history.
From governor of New Jersey to the
White House Woodrow Wilson's career
has been consistent and courageous: as a
defender of the people's Interests, and,
like a previous president, we "should love
him for the enemies he has made" and
': should now follow his honest patriotic
appeal to both Democrats and Republi
cans alike.
As a high minded cltlaen of New Jer
sey, when he was Induced to enter poll-
:; tics and there found the corruption and
fraud prevailing between the political
gangsters and big business, he won In
their behalf by an appeal to the people,
Ith a "domineering' spirit" against the
beat to a standstill. His lesson, learned
In New Jersey, fitted him for his larger
career In Washington, where his acts
have ever been those of a great states
man standing always between the people
and sinister Interests.
As champion of the people's fight
against malicious, unscrupulous politi
cians of the Lodge and Penrose type,
having the great humane purpose of
keeping us out of future wars, as he kept
us out of war with Mexico, it Is Indeed
fitting that he should have what his
enemies call a "domineering sptrit," and
all honor to our great president, who,
like our soldiers lying buried In Fland
ers' fields, has practically given his own
-. life for the great cause of humanity.
Let me, then, here appeal to all; who
love humanity and the blessings of
peace, to cast down the further barbari
ties of war with Its untold horrors and
oast their votes for Cox and the, only
possible prevention of war, the League of
Nations, as our great president has
asked us to do. and not be fooled by
. Harding's pretenses. A Citiaen.

ASPIRE3 WITH THE GREAT
APOSTLE
Soldiers' Home, Orting, Waoh.. Oct 1.
To the Editor of The Journal A the
battle is now on and .as the i&afies are
getting more clearly defined, any think
ing person who will take a look back
ward and compare the twf parties and
the candidates cannot but see that the
two old parties have Just reversed them
selves. The G. O. P. has become the
reactionary party and the Democratic
party under Wilson and Cox stands for
progress. Too many people are fighting
the war of 1861-65 over again, simply
voting their prejudices, forgetting that
the world moves. What does the world
care what was done in 1861, only that
freedom was granted to all men to own
themselves and their earnings and shape
their own destinies? The present strug
gle is being waged to push the hands of'
the clock ahead a little farther and
while I have the kindest regard for Uie
old comrades who have all their lives
"voted as they shot," I have got tired
of shooting at dead things, and while I
live I shall hereafter shoot at live things ;
for the Lord knows there are plenty of
live animals to fight that have grown
and fattened on the blood and privations
of our comrades of long ago. All the
combinations of every . rtame and char
acter have thrived and grown under
laws that were passed during the 60
years of Republican rule, and I feel it
is a duty I owe my children and grand
children and the comrades who never
saw the victory won in the Civil, war, to
help in the great struggle for world
peace. What the world wants and needs
is Justice between man and man and
between nations. Let us all stand by
men who have a vision that looks ahead
and not backward. If this nation Is
to endure we must have men to lead
who, with St PauJ, will say, "Not as
though I had already attained, either
were already perfect : but I follow after,
if that I may apprehend that for which
also I am apprehended of Uhrist Jesus."
Forgetting those things which are be
hind and reaching forth to those things
which are before should be the ambitiMi
of every true American and patriot, 'Kb

between all men and all nations as well.

O. O. P. ELECTS NO WOMEN
Portland, Oct. 8. To the Editor of
The Journal The managers of the Re
publican party in Oregon are appealing
to the women voters In that party to
go out as bill distributors and place
in the Windows pictures of a candidate
for president who has ever opposed
equal suffrage, direct election of sen
ators, the direct primary, prohibition,
the federal reserve bank system and
over a dollar a bushel for wheat, and
who 32 times voted in the United States
senate with . the wets, dodged rollcall
1121 times and favored planting the
American ealoon in the Philippines.
This Is the record of Warren G. Hard
ing. But to an observer In Oregon,
that is about as ' far as the majority
of the Republican voters In pregon go
In the matter of recognition of women.
The party in-Oregon never favored equal
suffrage. The registration of voters in
Oregon shows there are' about three
times as many registered Republican
voters as there are Democratic. In the
last eight years there have been fout
primaries, three state elections and
several special elections. In these eight
years the Republicans of Oregon have
placed In nomination no woman for a
state office. No Republican woman has
been elected to the legislature. There
is no Democratic county In Oregon.
One hundred and thirty-seven members
of the legislature have been elected In
those eight years. The Republican
voters have not sent one of their woman
members to the legislature. Three
women have held membership In the
legislative body ; two in the lower house,
Mrs. Alexander Thompson (twice elect
ed) and Miss Marion Towne, and Miss
Cathryn Clark in the senate. Mrs.
Thompson and Miss Towne were elected
as Democrats, and Miss Clarke as an
Independent. There are half as many
women registered as Republicana as
there are men.. Since 1912 10 Repub
licans have been nominated for presi
dential elector, but no woman. Twenty
Republicans have been sent to national
conventions, - but not one woman. But
they did send men who "wlgglewobbled"
on their pledged word, even if one of
them held by appointment a supreme
court position. He has opposed every
progressive measure enacted in 15 years.

ENGLAND'S SIX VOTES
Weleer, Idaho. Sept 29. To the Editor
of The Journal. The constantly repeated
assertions of Johnson; Borah and Hard
ing that "England has six votes In the
league," and Uie assertion that the
"league destroys American sovereignty"
appear to be little short of deliberate
lies. Some of the ablest lawyers in the
cpuntry have so stated, and we observe
that every one of the politicians mak
ing these statements has some axe to
grind. They do not believe it them
selves, but they have sized up the aver
age voter as an ignoramus. They be
lieve that the average voter has never
even read the covenant and therefore
propose to play him for a fool
The league is composed of two dis
tinct and separate bodies the assembly
and the council. The assembly has about
the same powers as a committee in
congress. It merely takes testimony and
debates. After everyone has, had his
say, they take a vote and "advise" the
council what to do. Webster says that
"advise" means to "state a fact," "to
recommend." So the assembly. In which
England and her colonies have six votes,
merely states the facts to the council
and recommends certain action. The
council then takes the matter up and
does as it pleases. England has Just
one vote in the cdoncil and every decision
must be unanimous. A single vote
against any measure kills it, dead as
Julius Caesar.
How can any honest man contend that
England has six votes in the league
when she has only one yote in the
council, which has the final say-so in
everything? How can any honest man
contend that the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States would be destroyed when every
decision must be unanimous and no of
ficial action whatever could be taken
about anything without our consent and
vote ?
The legitimate objection to the league
la not that It has too much power, that
It can destroy the sovereignty of a mem
ber nation ; but that it has too little
power, because of that unanimous clause.
However, a quarrel between either Indi
viduals or nations Is usually 90 per cent
settled whenever you can get the con
tending parties together for a dispas
sionate discussion In the presence of
others not directly Interested, and there
in lies the power of the league for in
finite good. Furthermore, the' members
agree that In the case of a serious dis
pute threatening war, they will not be
gin actual hostilities for six months.
That clause alone ought to prevent most
wars. Think this over: How many fights
between Individuals would there be if j
we all took six months to think it o'ver?
Let us read the covenant for ourselves
and decide. And remember this : We are
now building the greatest navy on earth.
We are spending a billion a year for
military purposes, a sum three times as
large as Germany ever spent in the
palmiest days of preparation to despoil
the world. We have served notice on
Europe that in future we will have noth
ing to do with peace agreements; that
we will have nothing to do with disarm
ament ; that we propose to arm our
selves to the teeth and tell the whole
world to go to hades. f
That, my friend, is exactly how the
matter stands now. John Joseph.
DENOUNCES CAPITAL
PUNISHMENT
Portland, Oct. 6. To the Editor of
The Journal The trials at Pendleton
are over. Rathle and Owens also must
hang. The people of Pendleton ate sat
isfied ; so a press dispatch informs us.
The ghastly horror of the approaching
Salem massacre awaits us. The spec
tacle of three limp, dangling forms is
the reward coming to those who clam
ored for the restoration of capital pun
ishment And the very morbidity which
makes for violent crime must permeate
the atmosphere, public and domestic,
and oppress the minds of young and
old until the exactions of the law are
satisfied.
We have been informed that capital
punishment is a preventive of murder.
But is it? I have looked in vain for
statistics to substantiate the claim. On
the contrary, the repealing measure re
fftoring capital punishment had hardly
gone Into effect before the common
wealth of Oregon was shocked by the
murder of Sheriff Taylor. And there
have been several since then. The
homicidal average seems to be well
sustained, despite the legal enactments
that are supposed to discourage it
Of course, It may be argued that mur

IN REPLY TO DR. TURNER
Salem, Oct. 8. To the Editor -of The
Journal I have read in The Journal an
article by Dr. W. A. Turner, headed
"The Anti-Compulsory Vaccination
Amendment." Dr. Turner stated that
the Cedars was an ulcer that should be
eradicted. I infer from that statement
that he would be willing to have persons
confined in that Institution, infected wfth
syphilis and gonorrhea, associated with
families as domestics. Such an idea is
repulsive. I can hardly believe Dr.
Turner would care to associate with
such diseased persons ; still he would
have them tivned loose on the public.
He stated further that mercurial
preparations and "666" had never cured
a case of venereal disease. If he is
merely misinformed he could have been
set right by going to the statistics and
disillusioning himself before rushing into
print
He alludes to an Imaginary organiza
tion, the medical trust. If the medical
men were organized as well as the prop
agandists who fight them, they would
undoubtedly close the motflhs of such
propagandists and the thousands of of
fices conducted by advertising quacks
who are not licensed and of those who
lack the education to practice the heal
ing art in any form.
Disregarding anything that has been
said or written against vaccination for
smallpox, I give some statistics for the
benefit of Dr. Turner and others who
know nothing about the disease and its
treatment. Referring to the excellent
results from vaccination of the allied
armies In the recent world war. Dr. Fas
quelle reported to the French Academy
of Medicine that in 1870-71 more than
125.000 French soldiers were ill with
smallpox, of whom 2S,opO succumbed to
the disease. Sow, during the four years
of the world war, the French army had
bnt 12 cases of smallpox, with one fa
tality. Thus, for the first time in his
tory, a war was free from an epi
demic of smallpox.
Wh.ch is the more criminal for a
thug to cut your throaty or for one in
fected with smallpox or syphilis to con
vey the disease to you, thereby causing
your death? Statistics show these to be
very dangerous diseases and the law re
quires that such infected persons be
properly cared for instead of allowing
them to run at large, as Dr. Turner
wouhT have them do. . M. D.
DEFENDS DR. PARRISH
Portland, Oct 5. To the Editor of
The Journal I should like to answer
Dr. W. A. Turner and ask him in
regard to Dr. Parrish and the "Cedars"
and venereal diseases ; also, what grade
of doctors are backing his so-called
Health Defense league. It seems to
me that Dr. Turner is not as wipe to
"606" as he would have us think, for
he should know better than to state
that mercurial treatment is of no use
t those so affected. For six or seven
years Uncle Sam has used mercury
treatment along with "606" on thou
sands of soldiers, both in the United
Sitates and in foreign countries.
If It were not for Dr. Parrish and
the "Cedars" it would mean that in
nocent women and children would be
coming in contact with a disease that
Dr. Parrish has kept under control ever
ince he was put Into office. A. W. H.
THE SPEED BULLY
Portland, Oct 7. To the Editor of
The Journal An explanation of the
cause of so many auto accidents In al
most every city of America can be found
in a recently published story, "The
Silken Bully," by Michael J. Phillips.
It explains, in very many instances, the
breaking of the traffic laws. One of
the chief characters is superb In his de
nunciatlon of the thoughtless and Ineffi
cient driver. Going farther than that
is the hoggishness of many who. because
they own machines, think no one else
has any right to the roads. It also
shows what shoddy aristocracy means,
and its full definition. Let every per
son owning a car read the Btory and
take it to himself, and there will be
very many less accidents and deaths.
As a recent writer in your columns
suggests, cut down the speed limit in
the city, and, as he says,, if the street
cars and railroads are tied dowa'to the
slow limit, why not the autos? they

Friday br BioknaU Younc, C. 8. B., member of
the Board of Lcetunahip of The Mother Chtuch,
The fir Chorel! of ChrK. Seirntfet, In Benton,
Man., who was introduced to th audience br
M. F. Hodaon. sir. Toun uid:
I come here tonight to speak: to you
on a Science which rests upon the funda
mental facts of being and which in the
measure that It Is Understood is capable
of improving, and even of transforming,
the life of every man, woman and child.
Because It can do this it follows that It
canNalso reform the world, and I am pre
pared to show that it will do so. Just as
fast as you and the rest Of mankind un
derstand and adopt It. In saying this
I do not mean to imply that Christian
Science is a kind of magic, or that it Is
a system which will work for the bene
fit of the race without any effort on
their part to conform their lives to its
1 Principle and rule. But I do say that It
promises and provides heafth and peace
to those who earnestly study and abide
by its teaching:.
What Is this Science? Do the theories
of prevailing educational systems indi
cate or reveal it? All theories of gen
eral education of life and its possibil
ities are predicated upon the certainty
and necessity of sin, disease and death.
Such theories are self-contradictory.
They have been accepted and tried for
centuries utterly in vain. With circum
etances all in their favor, and supported
by the overwhelming consensus of
human faith and education, they have
utterly failed. Under such beliefs, and
unlnstructed by Christian Science, living
is tantamount to mere physical endur
ance and final chaos. Christian Science
takes Issue with all such theories and
conclusions. It appeals to the higher na
ture, to reason and logic and educates
us In the Science of Life, the greatest
need of the race.
We are living and thinking and we
have got to go on living and thinking in
order to accomplish anything whatso
ever. The evidence of our senses gives
us no hint of what Life really Is, and
when from this standpoint ws think any
thing about life we indulge In mere spec
ulation, unless- Christian Science comes
to our rescue and gives us the right idea.
The science of true living and true
thinking is thus drawn from a higher
source than mere ordinary human expe
riences. To' investigate it requires re
search of the most unselfish, painstaking
and persistent nature. Such was the
research, that Bary Baker Eddy entered
upon and carried on for years. It cul
minated to the discovery of that science
which she named Christian Science. She
saw the vaat Importance of distinguish
ing between the true and the false, be
tween the real and the unreal. She ob
served, the permanent nature of divine
facta and thia led her to the conclusion
that such facta constitute Immortality.
AU the prejudices of sectarianism were
Instinctively arrayed against such a
proposition.-and yet it promised nothing
less than complete redemption for the
human race. Even now, after alt of Mrs.
Eddy's great work. Christian Science Is
not universally accepted; but the signs
of the times are portentous and hopeful.
Why should they be otherwise, for
Christian Science fulfills the hopes of
the Christian world.
Does not ta declaration that God Is
Infinite Cause,. Intelligence. Spirit. Mind.
LJfe, Power, Immutable, immortal Prin
ciple, the source and substance of all
being, tally with our Ideals of what con
stitutes the omnipotent, omnipresent and'
omniscient God of the Bible and of all
Christendom? If it does, then, your Ideals
may. through Christian Science, take on
a practical value ; they may be brought
out of the realm of speculation into that
of actual experiment and demonstration.
These definitions of God, virtually ac
cepted by the whole Christian world,
constitute the fundamental facts of the
science of true living as reveVled in
Christian Science. But they must be
more and more clearly apprehended by
the students of this Science, and conse
quently Christian Scientists are Involved
in the same research which Mrs. Eddy
carried on. She says that she found
the ideas of true science in the spiritual
teachings contained In the Bible. They
may be found by anybody wjio, in the
light of Christian Science, looks for
them in that same place. The Science of
Life must be the science of living which
the whole world has sought and sought
In vain. Yet here it is, obtainable by
any person who desires to have It, and

Eddy. Like other books, they are made
up of ideas, and this science,' like other
sciences, consists of ideas. The differ
eioe between thia science and other sci
ences is, however, that In other sciences.
Ideas, by way of instruction, pertain to
material things, or actions, or the em
ployment or use of material things and
remedies, whereas In Christian- Science
Ideas themselves constitute both the
means and the object of education, are
the sole phenomena of this science, and
tbey are the on 1 remedies used to re
store health and prevent disease.
When we perceive that divine Mind is
the sole Cause of all things, we begin to
perceive what Life . really is, and how
Life and Its Science may be more clearly
understood. We have already been
taught In the ordinary curriculum of
school or college to value great and
beautiful thoughts. Christian Science
takes, us a step farther. It shows us
that really great thoughts and pure
Ideals In themselves constitute the ac
tivity of true science. Thus it is that
the thoughts which reveal God In Chris
tian Science possess Interest and power
beyond any thoughts that can be enter
tained by mankind.
The poWer of God which characterised
Christ Jesus came to him not 1n the
realm of patter, but -of understanding.
That is where all true power comes to
man. That Is where all true education
fits us for life and equips us with cour
age and wisdom to meet the difficulties
of human existence, Including disease
How necessary It Is for us to awake to
the full value of rue thoughts and pure
education, which constitute real being
What would man be without the power
to think? Salvation is the main object:
it is even the object of all education, al
though that object Is not mentioned In
the curricula of schools and colleges. We
are all seeking salvation, consciously or
unconsciously, for we are all striving for
satisfaction. Everybody wants heaven,
though many appear to be searching for
It in strange ways, for heaven Is nothing
more nor less than Teal permanent hap
piness, satisfaction.
On page 291 of "Science and Health"
Mrs. Eddy writes: "Heaven Is not a lo
cality, but a divine state of Mind in
which all the manifestations of Mind
are harmonious and Immortal, because
sin is not there and man la found hav
ing no righteousness of his own, but In
possession of 'the mind of the Lord,' as
the Scripture saya" It follows that the
way to heaven Is a way of education, in

the hia-hest sense ot that word. We must
think our way Into heaven, and nothing :
can deprive ua of or -excuse us from .
that exacting and redemptive necessity.
This is being saved through the- blood
of Christ, the life of Christ. Heaven is - ,
natural and constant to Ood and must
be the same to man In Ms Image.
This science of living, this Science oi
Life, waa Illustrated by Christ Jesus, but
as a science It could not be given te
the world In his time. It has come in
ours. Think of that Think of what II '
means to have the privilege of studying
and demonstrating the Science of Life, a
science for which the world had to wait
thousands of years before Its mentality ;ik
could lose enough darkness to even per
ceive such a Sc'ence. Think what It
means .that a person could have been v,
awake enough, free enouoh, clear enough
mentally, spiritually, to discover such
a 8clence as this, the science of all sci
ences. This Is exactly what Mary Baker '
Eddy did. and she did something more
than that : her discernment extended to
the facts of being and revealed them, but
It also descended to the present needs of
mankind and met them. She aaw that
the omnipresence of Ood would nave to
be affirmed before it could be realised
and" she also knew and taught that the
rejection of all other sermlnp power
w$uld have to be persisted In before full
proof that good Is all powerful and Life
is immortal could be obtained.
The Bible is the original ref lation oi
the imortal relationship of Oo.i imd man.
Christian Science rnakea this reUtinnahlp
understood, and In doing this it removes
condemnation and establishes redemp
tion in Its stead. - It shows beyond all
doubt that the only final or possible se
quence to a, mistake Is loving snd com- '
plete correction. Sometimes our own
shortcomings may have . retarded the
fruition of the' desire to have this Sci
ence universally understood, and we can
only say to you that we hourly repent
of them In sackcloth and ashes. Hut the
Science Itielf, the Science of Christianity,
discovered by Mary Baker Eddy, has no
shortcomings. Its possibilities forgood -
are Immeasurable as its divine Principle,
Ood, Is, and we ourselves, though offer
ing no excuses for our failure to be fully
worthy, beg you to consider thiit w are
moving In the right direction -that is,
onward and upward. With arms ex
tended to encompass mankind, in rev
erence and adoration to the Ood who is
Love, and in devotion to His Christ, we
give you this message of Life, of fieslth.
of peace, and we aim to xpre4 rnd
make dally more practical In behalf cf
ourselves and for all mankind the com
passion of Him who said, "I am come
that they might have life, and Hint they
might have it more abundantly.
