MORAL COWARDICE. This world is full of people who have no trouble in finding fault with others and with conditions. They pose as exponents ,f morality, and hold up their hands in holy honor when they view infractions of the law. They are always ready to criticse public offi cials for non-enforcement of laws, and upbraid newspapers because they do not "expose flagrant violations." Yet, when the official or the newspa per asks the assistance of these individuals in prosecutions, they at once retreat into their shells and re fuse to commit themselves. They are entirely willinK that others shall bear the brunt of the fmht, and the oppro brium, so lonK as they may remain concealed In the background and car ry on the battle. These people are moral cowards and candor compels the statement that muny of them are found among the alleged moral "re formers," who pose as such under the cloak of religion. A conspicuous example of this cow ardice is found in the reccent vice in vestigations In Portland and subse quent attempts of the oillclals to pros ecute. A vice commission, composed mainly of clergymen, took It upon it self to discover the festering plague spots In the Hose City. It investigat ed and it reported. The report said that "Wank owned a building" which was used for immoral purposes. The report contained muny of these blanks and when the district attorney asked that the names of the owners be giv en, the Investigators demurred. That was another matter. The faithful guardalns of the morals of I'ortlalnd became cringing cowards when lace to face with all that these disclosures might mean. Their weak defense of their action was voiced by Rev. II. K. Talbot, chairman of the vice commis sion, who said: "While there is in our report suf ficient data to satisfy any reasona ble man of the existence of condi tions us we have reported them, a great amount of It is of such nature that It will not hold In court as full cause for indictment, and prosecu tion. Therefore, even if the mem bers of the Commission are sum moned to testify before the grand Jury, I very much doubt if their tes timony will prove of practical legal value. "The Vice Commission was ap pointed not as a prosecuting, but as an investigating body. Jt had not to do with persons, but with conditions. Much of the Informa tion was obtained under conditions that make it almost 'impossible to divulge It. Some of it could not well be thrown open, because it would Involve innocent people. "Had it been our understanding when we were appointed that the object of the commissions' work was to bi' that of a prosecuting Instead of an Investigating body, I doubt if any member would have been will ing to serve. Our report was pre pared and submitted rather as something to arouse the public mind to the eonditluns and direct public opinion to seek for some so lution of the problem, than to fur nish evidence on which to base a campaign of criminal prosecutions." moral cowardice of these grand stand "reformers" Is a disgrace to the cler gy. They are not a whit better than the officials whom they declare "do not enforce the laws." Their much exploited reform activity Is bounded by the almighty dollar and hedged about by possible loss to them from too much publicity. When their ef forts to "clean up the city" affects on ly those who cannot strike backhand when they can hide their identity and force others to do the real work and take the blame, their . pathway is plain, but when they must bravely come out into the open and help fight the battles, they suddenly dis cover that "innocent people" might be affected and drop the proposition like a red-hot poker. Rev. Talbot probably tells the truth when he says: "Had it been our understanding when we were appointed that the ob ject of the commission's work was to lie that of a prosecuting instead of an investigating body, I doubt if any of the members would have been willing to serve." Certainly not. They would start the trouble, but they would not help fight the battle. Such men are not by any means confined to Portland. They may be found anywhere. Moral cowards, who prate of their moral rectitude in pub lic, but who sneak about in the dark and strike over the shoulders of oth ers, wno musi race me ngoi ami imve the consequences. The frothy calamity howler of the Oregon City Courier is much disturbed because Secretary Knox was sent to Japan on a warship to attend the Mikado's funeral, and deplores the great expense attached thereto. Such an objection was to be expected from a fellow whose every thought is a howl of calamity The Fels journal at Oregon City is probably the only publication in the country possessing an editor with a mind so warped and diminutive that he cannot grasp the idea that the sending of Knox to Japan was one of the wisest diplo matic moves that could possibly have been made. It was a graceful act, and cements still further the friend ship of the Japanese government, which will have its effect In increas ing the trade relations between the United States and Japan and thus aid in giving the lie to the statements of asses like the Courier editor, that this nation is about to be swept off the face of the earth unless we shall adopt tlie methods proposed for our relief by reformers (?) of the Fels brand. "Roosevelt personally knew of Standard Oil contributions." Sworn testimony of two prominent men on witness stand. "Liar, liar, liar." Theodore Roosevelt. Thus does the voice of truth ever silence the tongue, of scandal. "1 was cured of diarrhoea by one dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," writes M. E. Gebhardt, Oriole, Pa.

They were willing to "smell" but their moral obligation to the city ended. It apears, with the scent. "Innocent persons might be involved." says Preacher Talbot. Possibly some of the "Innocent persons" might be con tributors to his yearly salary, or prob ably they help pay the running ex penses, and buy the fuel, and substan tially subscribe fur the new carpet for the church.
