WOODVILLE
!' I
Dr. Kny Pnlmcr of St. Louis, who
is conducting special mooting hero
nt tlio Ilnptist church, preached lnt
nipht to u grout congrcgntion on
"Tlio MoNnmnms iil Their Crime."
The preacher took for hi' tost num
ber :W:2Jl: "Ho sure your tin will
find you out."
The speaker paid in part:
"Your sins will find you out, eco
nomically and industrially, n shown
in tho life and career 01 the McNn-
mara brothers. Has tho world over
been more completely startled than
it was when .lurnes Jb-Nnmnrn con
fessed that ho blw up tho Time
building in Los Angele-i. not onlv
wreckinc tho tniilditig, bat hurling
twenty-ono persons into eternity. For
months past Uicm men have been pro
claiming their innocence. Only a few
days ago onu of the MoNamarn
brothers wroto his mother that they
were innocent. Think of that dear
old, gray-haired mother sitting in the
shadow of the evening thinking that
in spite, of ell the testimony to the
contrary, including even the confes
sion of these men her boys are in
nocent! "The one silver lining to this blnek
cloud is tho nndying love of this de
voted mother. But think of the du
plicity, tho cod-bloodcd conduct of
these men palming themselves off as
martyrs to a good cause, deceiving
even the ver yclcet. Impostors as thev
are, they cruelty imposed upon the
laboring men of the country and so
excited their pity and compassion
that, from the green pineries of Maine
to tho golden shores of the Pacific
and from tho shimmering lakes of tin
north to the great gulf, the laboring
uicnVrosc up en masse to defend men
whom they were led to believe were
their brethren, and yet now they have
all been rudely awakened to rcnlirc
that they have been harboring vipers
in their bosom.
"Yes," went on tho preacher, "the
laboring men defended the McNn
maras because thoy believed thev
were innocent. They did just as I
should have done, for I myself be
lieved those boys were innocent. I
mnko it the rule of my life to believe
thnt every man is innocent until he
-hns been proven guilty.
"Tho common law of tho land i
based upon this rock-ribbed principle
that a man is supposed to be innocent
until ho is proven guilty.
"It seems horrible that the laboring
man, with all his other burdens, must
no shoulder n load like this. Hpw
unjust it would bo to hold labor
unions responsible for a crime like
this! I am not a socialist, but I have
many good friends who are. I am
sure thoy will condemn this net of
tho McNamaras as strongly as any
of us.
"It would bo just as unjust to hold
labor unions responsible for this
crime as it would be to condemn nil
preachers because now and then some
scalnwag of a preacher runs away
with somo other man's wife just ns
unjust ns it would be to condemn
Jesus Christ because in many ages
of the world men who clnimcd to be
Christians Imve burned at the stake
thousands of innocent people because
they did not believe ns thoy did.
"Tho labor unions do not stand for
crime and bloodshed. Neither do our
socialist friends champion such a
cause far fro mit. As" I have said
I am not n socialist, but n third party
prohibitionist. I know somo of our
socialistic brethren are cranks, but
I know democrats and republicans
who arc cranks also, and some o fthe
worst cranks I ever saw were prohi
bitionists. Hut wo shall not hold the
millions of honest, law-abiding citi
zens of all of these parties responsi
bel for tho extreme positions of somo
men. '
"I am sorry that labor has had an
other cruel blow in tho face. I am
not against tho man of means God
bless him but us n rule I take my
stand beside the men and women who
earn their bread by tho sweat of their
face
"I was reared by a good father who
was both a farmer and a mechanic
These hands of miiio have been ns
horny ns those of any toiler in the
broad land. I know whnt it is 10
plow corn and to bind wheat, to make
rails or to split cordwood, to make
brooms or to muko brick. Tn St.
Louis, and Cincinnati and throughout
the southland there still stand mnuv
buildings built by my dear old father
I thank God that I am the son of a
humble toiler, rather than the son of
a millionaire. My Savior was a car
punter's sou and the son himself was
iv carpenter.
"May God bless ihe toiling suffer
ing masses everywhere and help you

The "wet-" won the oily election
at Voodille Monday b ya vote of
forty-six to tweuty-throo. The cam
pnign was bitterly contested. Olte
saloon operates in the city.
K. li. Nosser was elected minor
and Charles Hatch, Samuel Mathews
and M. C. Woods conncilnu'n. The
vote throuhout was at a two-to-one
ratio.
it sometimes is hard to trust Gvid
and feel that all will come out right
When the children almost cry for
bread and it becomes more and more
difficult for a poor man to keep the
wolf from the door, I myself know nv
bitter experience something of the
trials of the poor man. I became a
prcneher at sixteen years of age and
have given my whoel life for others
I, who was married at 20 years of
age and hnvo reared four children
to bo grown and have two little
sunny-haired, blue-eyed dnrlinjr
looking to papa for support, it lias
taken all I ever made by closest econ
omy to care for my loved ones.
"Many of you may never get justice
in this world, and yet, let us live in
hope. Let us be optimists and not
pessimists. God lives and all will
come out right if wo btu trust Him
and do his holy will. We cannot af
ford to be bitter even against the.
McNnmara brothers they already
stand shivering before the bar of their
own conscience. Tomorrow they will
stand nt tho bar of human justice
and receive from tho lips of Judge
Bordwell their sentence for their
crime. Before long they must stnnd
before the binning bar of God so
shall we all there to givo an account
for the deeds done in the body.
"I predict thnt in the providence nf
God all this horrible affair will be
overruled for the good of the world
It will certainly inspire our Inbor
brethren to be exceedingly enntious
in defending men accused of crime
and it will only increase their
strength by making them very care
ful in every step they take.
"But as to the McNamaras and Mc
Mnnignl and all men like them thev
will certainly be made to realize that
wrongs, real or imagined, can never
be corrected by deeds of violence, and
all such characters must know that
'their sins will find them out.' "
Dr. Palmer will preach tonight n
"Get Right With God."

A Hcemc to restore tho hillsides of
southern Oicgou to their founer miIiio
for pasturage is advocated by John
Pates, a Gold Hill orchnrdisU Did
lesideuts testify that in pioneer dns
the hills were covered with grass
every spring and summer, providing
an abuuduueo of good range. Hut
as the country became more thickly
settled and tho number of cattle on
the ranges increased, good pasturage
became scarcer and soraoor, until
now there are thousands of ncres of
wild laud in southern Oregon that ate
of no value for range purposes.
Mr. Pntos has experimented with
orchard grasses, both hero nnd in the
Willamette valley, aud ho finds, he
says, that if it is sown iu the fall,
so that it will get tho benefit of the
winter rains, it will make it good crop
tho following season, nnd will reseed
itself. Ho believes that if it became
a general practice among the nr
chardists, ranehcrs and residents
generally to sow this grass, southern
Oregon ranges would soon lie restored
to summer verdancy,

An Innovation in Oil Heaters
The Perfection Smokeless Oil Heater, with iti
drums enameled in turquoise, is an ornament to any
room, whether in the country or city home.
No home is quite complete without a Perfection Oil
Heater. It is a necessity in the fall and spring, when it is too
warm to start the regular heating apparatus, and too cool to ba
without heat. In the midst of winter it is often convenient as
an auxiliary heater, as there are always some cold comers
in a house.
The enameled heater always pretenta a nice appearance, as the
enamel will not Umiih or burn of!. It ii not an "enamel paint," but it
is the umc at the enamel of your cooking utentili.
The Perfection U the mott reliable and convenient portable heating
device you can find. An automatically-locking flame tpreader prevent
turning the wick high enough to smoke.
