INTOLERANCE
Intolerance is one of the worst and
most general faults of mankind.
Notwithstanding the ivonderfut
strides made during the past few cen
turies in morals, art, literature and
science, the people of the twentieth
century arc just as intolerant of the
views of others as they were durius
the days of Ring Solomon. This is
particularly true of religious and moral
questions.
Show us the man who is big enough
and broad enough to give the man
who differs with him on questions of
morality, credit for both intelligence
and honesty and we will show yo;i
an exception to the rule. Tt is human
nature to feel strongly on religious
questions and wc presume that it is
one of the frailities of human nature
to condemn those who are unable to
view these questions from the same
light as ourselves.
The Christian religion itself affords
the best, example of differences of
opinion on questions of dogma. The
multiplicity of religious denomina
tions, nil of them with conflicting
creeds, demonstrates that difference
of opinion is by no means confined
to those who remain on the outside
of the various houses of worship.
Viewed from the standpoint of the
Iiistoriau and the student of Ilible lit
erature, the tolerance of Christ wa
one of his greatest virtues. While
urging the people of his time to rast
aside iniquity and embrace the Christ
ian religion, he at the same time view
ed with compassion, those who wcr
unable to agree with his teachings
Tie came not among men to condemn
them for the views which they then
held upon moral questions but to
reveal a new and more glorious truth.
His was the gospel of charity and it
was charity of both deeds and words
tf more of us emulated the example
of the Savior, fewer friendships would
be broken upon the rocks of intoler
ance. SIGNED COMMUNICATIONS

Says He Is Man Who Made
Jump Here 10 Years Ago for
Sum ef $5.
WEARY ONE RETURNS
AFTER LOW ABSENCE
Spent Night in City Jail Five
It Is Said, Have Leaped
From Bridge.
That he was the man who took ,i
dare and jumped off the steel bridge
crossing the Willamette river here 10
years ago for the sum of five dol
lars, was the declaration of a hobo
given lodging in the city jail last
night by the police. He gave the
name of Miller. He was released this
morning to find work.
Miller says he has travelled hun
dreds of miles since then. That he
has travelled from the Atlantic coast
to the Pacific Coast since Thanksgiv
ing, was indicated by a declaration
that he spent that day in Norfolk, Va.
Made Jump 10 Years Ago.
About 10 years ago, according to the
memory of several people, a man em
ployed as a woodchopper across the
river was crossing the bridge on his
way to town after quitting work. A
crowd of men were loitering on the
bridge at the time. As the man ap
proached he overheard one of the men
say: "I'd give five dollars to see any
body jump over."
"I'm your man," remarked the
woodchopper.
"You're on," replied the party of
the crowd who had spoken.
"Produce the- money," demanded the
newcomer.
Whereupon a five dollar gold piece
was produced. The man took it and
placing it in his mouth, mounted the
railing and in a flash dived 60 feet in
to the river. Coming to the surface,
he easily swam ashore. So sudden
and unceremonious was the perform
ance that it was over with before the
awed spectators had time to fully real
ize what had happened.
Decleares He Is the Man.
Miller, the hobo, who landed in
Albany yesterday on the blind and
spent the night sheltered in the city
jail, for lack of funds to occupy a
room, declares that he was the man.
With the Mirilling dive yesterday of
Hazel Hewitt, who attempted to com
mit suicide, S different people have
jumped off the bridge since its erec
tion. All but the one, it is said, were
attempts at suicide.
