BROUGHER OPENS 1917 CHAUTAUQUA Famous Preacher and Plat form Lecturer Grips Audience With Interesting Personality LARGE CROWD HEARS WEEK'S FIRST NUMBER Oavenny Quintette Concert and Hawkins Nature Lecture Billed Tonight I am pleased to be back in Albany again. My visit reminds me ot a trip to ileaven I see so many old friends here that I did not expect to meet." llius Ur. J. Whit comb Brought r. pastor of the Temple Baptist church oi Los Angeles, and ioriucr pastor of the White Icmplc, Portland, opened ibe annual Albany Chautauqua last evening. About 7UU persons heard the :.:: night's program and went away inspired by the words of the evangelist. Dr. iirougher is a veritable cyclone. and there is no doubt about his mag netic ability to get his audience witb him and keep it there. Wit and hum or abound in his talk, and optimism is the predominating note. raking the topic "What is Undci Your Hat.'" Dr. Brougher gave a di versified talk, touching on everything from eats and styles to Democracy, leddy Kooscvcll and woman suff rage. Health and happiness go together. according tu lr. Brougher. and it is within the power oi anybody to nave both. Good health is a matter ot sim ple science, which Dr. Brougher claims to tollow, and judging from hi vigor, optimism and enthusiasm, tnc xonnula works. Most people do not know that Dr. Brougher haa. a grown son who is also a proaaiscr. i oung Brougher is scheduled to preach in the Baptist church in Port land Sunday. Good health comes from five things; Take plenty of fresh air; sleep ut ol doors and breathe deep. Take exercise; go through simple exercis es every morning and evening. Take cold water baths. Eat the right kind of food in the proper manner. Laugh. these arc the principal reuuiMtes to health and happiness. li you cannot control your eating." he said. "Have your tailor make you a plaid vest Then you can keep a check on your stomach. Have pep and ginger. The man that amounts to anything never shuf fles along the street. The man who gets there is the man with the pur pose who walks with his chin up and acts like he was going some definite place. Like your job. whatever von are doing; make the most of it. Give it all there is in you and you will suc ceed. I he man w ho loafs, crabs, and whines will never get any farther. He will never get paid for more than he Iocs because he never does enough lor what lie is paid. Many people are dead but are not conscious of it. Don't be a dead one. Be up and doing." Dr. liroughcr aroused a storm of applause when he mentioned that as sure as fate after this war democracy will spread around the world and one-man rule will a thing of the past. ' Tarty lines no longer exist in the old sense. A man is no longer a Re publican because his father was. He does not vote according to the dic tates of a party boss. 1 am proud of the l acitic Loast lor having lead the way. where women are strong enough to make a fight for good government and make the cotintiy a fit place for children to live in. In speaking of the war. Dr. B rough cr said that the women are taking their part in it, and (referring to dress some of them arc showing more back-bone than the men. Men and women are coming to stand side bv side as equals on bat one platform, and the time is almost here when all will be judged by the same moral standard. There will be no such thing as a double moral standard and the man who sins will be as strongly condemned as the woman is today. "Better sense is coming in the mat ter of dross. You cannot tell wheth er some old birdsare 60 or 16 to tee tl em coming down the street. Men's dress is not sensible, and is uncom fortable." "There is nothing so disgusting as the pessimist, thinks Dr. Brougher and he proceeded to burn this com mon specie with several different for mulae. Here is one: "A pessimist is a blind man In a dark room looking for a black hat that tsn t. Optimism was described as a great help and influence and its cultivation was advised in alt people. Dr. Brougher stated that he saw no reason why people should remain sober and solemn at prayer meeting. MILT MILLER FAVORS HARD SURFACE ROADS Thinks Iks Valley is Lasting by Not Being Connected wltb Columbia Highway Hon. M. A. Miller. United Statu Collector of Internal Revenue, ar rived in the city thia moraine from Portland on hit war to Lebanon, where he will look aiter boatacaa foe a few daya. Mr. Miller wai loquatiou. on the iubject of roada thia morning and la mented the condition of the highway beiwee nFoater and Caacadia. "It is a shame," said be, "that this stretch is not out in better repair. There is every reason why there should be a good road over the moon tains to eastern Oregon. If this road was open now it is certain that no less than 1000 of the teachers now in Portland would take thia trip through the valley and over the moon tain. Thousands of Portland people wnouid loop the loop all summer. "The quicker we get good roads through the Willamette Valley the better it will be for us. The other i.ay I was in a group in the Benson Hotel in Portland where the Belgian Commission was being entertained. and one of the members o ftbe Com- sion stated that he had travelled all over Europe, and no place where he has ever been has he sen such a fine highway as the Columhbia River Highway. 'This highway is being talked about all over the country, and the valley should, by ail means, get some of the benefit of it by connecting up with it over the mountains. People travel ing through the valley will tell it to their friends in the East. People will come here to bay farms and stores, start factories and what not, and it will he worth a mint to the valley. "The quicker the Pacific Highway is paved the better, and yon people up ncre snouia uo everyxning in your rower and not rest a minute until every foot of the way is hardsurfaced. These are plain facts and I have learned them through observation. RELATIONS WITH CAUSE SINE Some Elemenli Still Sore Over Oppositioa ts Wheat Embargo Buenos Aires, July 13.

No man can succeed long doing wrong. Yon cannot be happy long doing wrong. You must learn the difference be tween right and wrong and develop your powers to do right by refusing to do that which is wrong. Learn to srtrrigate the good from the bad and to distinguish the various shades. No man is all he ought to be until he is master of himself. People were compared to the bee, which comet to the city from the mountains and hunts the sweetness and honey from the flowers, and the hnrzard. which sweeps through the sky and hunts out the dead and cor ruption.
