5c3d iiver Slacier. FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1S0O. Mr. J. W.'Morton comes to the front with an article in the Glacier this week, announcing Iiis candidacy for the legislature and giving his views upon the pleading issues ot the day. Mr. Morton is a young man who has grown up in Hood River valley. He is a farmer and fruit grower and owner of one of the best ranches in the valley. He has a laudable ambition to serve the people in the state legislature, and if nominated ahd elected can be relied upon to work and vote for all reforms mentioned in his declaration of princi ples.' Ue is in full accord with his party on national questions, and repub licans could make no better selection for this importunt office. - , Mr. Hugh Oourlay announces that in a few days he will lecture lnThe Dalleson the subject: "Civil and Re ligious Liberty vs. A. P.'Aism, from the standpoint of a Protestant Amer ican Citizen." H& will discuss the questions: What does American his tory teach regarding the loyalty of our Catholio fellow citizens? and what do Catholic authorities teach regarding the civil or temporal power of the pope? Mr. Gourlay is an entertaining and forcible speaker and may be expected to handle his subject In a manner not calculated to help secret political orders. The school elections in Oregon cities last Monday called out a full vote. The A. P. A. chose candidates in all the leading cities and made a hard fight, their candidates winning in Sa .lemand Eugene. In Portland, Prof. R. K. Warren, anti-A. P. A., was elect ed director by 632 majority over A. P. ' FJjoley. In Astoria, Hon. C. W. Ful- ton was elected over two other candi dates, one of which was an A. P. A At The Dalles, 8. B. Adams was elect ed director by a majority of 106 and E Jacobson clerk by 89 majority. Mr. L. Samuel, formerly publisher of the West Shore,' has been advanced to the position of general manager for the Equitable Life for Oregon, Idaho and the counties of Washington bor dering on; the Columbia river. Mr. Samuels has been in the employ of the Equitable as special agent for the past five years. His friends all over the .Northwest will be glad to learn of his promotion. The republican friendsof Mr.E.Locke ' will present his, name to the county j convention for the nomination for " ' commissioner. ... Mr, Locke would be the right kind of material for commis " sioner, but as it Is expected that Capt. Blowers will be nominated for county . Inifro If lu nnt. ilbolv nfinfVioi"' TTrirtlT f River citizen .will be nominated on the ticket to serve on the same board. 'At the meeting of the democratic county central committee at The Dalles, lat Saturday, it was decided to hold the cdunty , convention at' the court house in The Dalles on Tuesday, April 7th, at 10 o'clock. The primaries are set for Saturday, April 4th, from 2 to 4 p. m. ' West Hood River will send five delegates, East Hood River four and ' Baldwin two.-v: ,' - , . ''-.' ',' Mr. W. L.

' Portland, March 9, 1896. To the People: The Pacific Northwest Immi gration Board has been established for t; the purpose of bringing to the i, Pacific ,,'', Northwest such a class of prbducers as shall teiid to develop its resources and , increase its prosperity and to' that end -v Jiaa, thus far, been provided by the citi zens of Portland with a fund.of $30,000, a fund which t is hopeti to largely in crease by-, contributions from f other '. sources. , . ' . -.-''.;'..?, ; ; 7 The board expects to be able to effect ively carry oni the work of bringing in ' settlers from the East, but it will be im possible for it to have its own agents in ..: every county and precinct to attend to ,.v the locating of these settlers, and this "part of the work must be done, in each case, by the residents who are in teres t 7 ed In each special section, 'and to this end local organizations must be estab lished in each county, in order that the ' best results may be obtained and that each county may reap its full share, of the general benefit. ', , It being impossible for a central board to attend to location in so large a sec- tioii of country, the work of this board will be limited to advertising, as wide ly us possible, the advantages which this country, as a whole, has to oiler; -,. and to interesting tle largest possible number'of the producing classes of the East, and especially farmers, in It. : Each inquirer will l supplied with an at-cn rate, though brief, description of all the different sections, and allowed "to make his choice of the section which be prefers. Having made this choice he will be turned over to! the local board of that section to be directed to and supplied with exactly,-what he wants. .'' " ' , This board has been -organized and supplied with funds, not for the purpose of booming any town jor city, or pro moting any private interest whatso ever, but for the sole and only purpose of promoting the general settlement and. development of the country at large, a work in which every section has a vital interest, and which should be aided to the fullest extent in their power by the people, of each section. The most enective means lor each sec tion to. aid in the genera work is by making itself as wellknown as possible, arid by exerting itself to secure as large a sha,re as possible of the newcomers It is difficult to say exactly when the Eastern work will begin to bear fruit, We have reason to believe that we will not have long to wait for considerable results. The local organizations should be formed at' once, and perfect their preparations. It is the purpose of this board to, in the near future, have one of its members, or a responsible agent, visit each county desiring to take part In the work, to make definite arrange ments tor co-operation. Meantime we invite correspondence fr6ni all sections Interested. - Address," . The ., Pacific Northwest Immigration Board, Port land, Oregon. i For Representative. V Editor Glacier: As you have kindly invited , correspondence from persons aspiring to high political posi tions, and as it is .well known that my greatest desire is to secure official trust at the hands of the dear people, I take this opportunity to express my wants and make known my political views. In the first place, will say that I am an avowed candidate for the nomina tion as representative in the legislature from Wasco and Sherman counties. It may be that I have no reason for exposing myself to public view and attack, further than the .fact that I am a "chronic office seeker,'! wishing only to fatten at the public crib, as have some of my' predecessors in the bygones of office; . but from the fact that I am a member of the republican party the grandest party that ever lived a believer in sound money, the only honest pay the laboring man ever did or will receive for his labor; a sup porter of the truest principlesof pro tection to American labor and indus tries, which gives our own people plenty to do and brings prosperity to our homes; and from the fact thafl believe it is with the nation, state or county as with individual industry, prudence and economy are . the truest sources ot ,. wealth-perhaps you will pardon me for thus presenting myself before you. However, I will further state that it is the duty of our legisla ture to lesson the burden of taxation now resting on,' the shoulders of the people by cutting off all of the "useless commissions," , by refusing to appro priate one solitary dollar to any secta rian institution of whatever name or creed; to give is just and equal assess ment laws;- tov make all general elec tions come on the same day. as our presidential elections, - thus saving a large expense to our people; and last, but not least, to rid our law-making fraternity of ail those useless legislators, the "Immortals,'' who ' have, been weighed, in the balance and found wanting: .-',s-v T' ' ;'.-'.' -; ' In conclusion, will say that If my political friends see fit to give me their suffrages in accordance with the Issues here set forth, alt right; if. hot, I shall be content to remain iu my "fragrant bay-field," ' out of the dusty highway "where fools are Striving for the hollow praise of other fools." ,' J. W. Morton. : Camp Fire at Wasco. The camp fire given Saturday at ' the armory' under the, auspices of 'the G. A. R. was a great success. Many people attended, and the dinner was of great plehtitude and fit for epicurean taste. The exercises were patriotic. The Isenberg band of Hood River was in attendance and were the principle feature: .Messrs."- Isenberg, - Peddicord and Brock made appropriate remarks such talks as seal men to closer friend ship. ! The exercises in the evening were solely by the Isenberg family,and were music, speaking, and last, but not least, athletic exercises: and , this we cannot refrain from giving especial notice to the ladwho did the contor tionist feats. He tan certainly eclipse many professionals, and is equal to the best. The people who were present were very grateful for the interest their Hood River friends' took in the exer cises and will;, very gladly welcome them in the future. To the members of the G. Ai R.-is due the credit of civ- Ing an entertainment pleasing to each and everyone present. Wasco. News. . Better than a Gold Mine. M..F. Sloper of :'Hood River , visited the Goldendale mines and believes the report should have read 72 tons to the dollar. He found nothing but a vol canic rock, any quantity of which may oe tound around Hood Klver. J-iesays the country has nil been located by the farmers around there, who would have been better off if they had just kept on plowing. Hood River people should not need to go from liomp in search of wealth. Belter far than the average gold mine are the orchards from which have come t hese fragrant aud ruddy cheeked apples that are now ornament ing the green grocers' displays of Port land and - gracing , with beauty 'and health its dining tubles.; Oregon la.ii. - i Reply by R. E. II. Go not Into the wf ,y of evil men. For they Bleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away unless they cause some to fall.--Prov. lv., 14-18. Editor Glacier: Friday's Glacier reached me' on time, and when the ar ticle entitled "Some 'Old Fashioned Gospel'" confronted, me I was mpch perturbed. The length and breadth of it exceeded my expectations, and being fully aware that I yas coping with a superior in education and ready wit, it will be easy to believe that my feelings' were of a mixed character. I did not read far, ' however, until my fears fully subsided, as I readily discerned that no matter what -might be the author's abilities, he had pros tituted education, ready wit and every thing else that might have been used to advantage in propping up his totter ing high-tower I can hardly ask the editor to grant me space to answer in detail all that W. L. A. has fired at me; but there are a few points which cannot well be over looked, and I will touch on thenar as lightly as possible. .' v -The first will be the flour sacks. I heard about them : once before. In March, 1893, W. L. A. dropped a line in the post office for us, stating he htd left a sack of corn at one of the stores for us to take out to our mill and grind. Our day book, in use at that lime, shows that on March 17, ,1893, the corn was ground and that its original weight was 119 pounds. This was ' the . first grist he had ever sent to us. '. The next, and last, sent by him came June 16, 1894. This was brought by his hired man, who had been instructed to ask for seven tlour sacks which he said I had kept when I ground his first grist. Any one can see that after tolling, grinding and bolting 119 pounds of corn, the meal would go Into two sacks. According to the accusatiori, the corn must have been accompanied by nine empty sacks; a number sufficient to hold' 4.r)0 pounds of meal. .Our dayi book shows these entries, filling their proper spaces, Without a trace of tam pering or erasure, and will be cheer fully shown to any one, expert ! or otherwise, upon application. - .Fifteen pounds were taken as toll, and every pound of the remainder, bran and all, was sent back to him, without any charge whatever for hauling it twice over our road to town. We have had things stolen from us before, have even given up our sub stance to insinuating contrivers, but we are not ready to buy extra flour sacks to give . any one as a bribe to pro tect ourselves from being slandered and libeled. ' - He next addresses me as "Bro. B.,l' evidently believing me to be the prime mover in this controversy. I will only say that I am not the writer of "Church Ventilation," nor is the autfcor any re lation of mine. I took the matter up because I was disgusted with W.L.A.'s frequent screeds and cynicisms on Christianity. To some young per sons or the maliciously inclined all these .sharp and vulgar at tacks appear very smart. They imagine that an educated man with such keen abilities for seeing through what he calls the cheats of Christianity is a being worthy of emu lation. After these have read or list ened to his perversion of every good thing that people da to make the world safe to live in, they, too, "catch on" and their tongues are soon wagging to an empty brain. .: ' 1 He alludes, with an easy familiarity, to all sorts of cannibal orgies. While it is quite probable that he would prove fatal to any confiding cannibal, he will undoubtedly steer wide of the regions where he might expose the inhabitants to such danger, until the missionaries he so despises have preceded him and taught the natives our plain, every-day Christianity,faultsand all. 'The old fling at John Calvin of course must take its turn. If scoffers did not, have that old bone to worry, what a plight they would be in. I have already admitted that crimes have been . committed in the name of religion, but W. L. A. does not tell us what good hasbeen done in the name of infidelity. '' The old "New ' Haven Blue Laws" are next dragged, out (next time don't say "Connecticut"). The authority for , these laws is only a tradition, and'it is certain that they never had an exist ence in any statute-book. (See John- son.'s Cyclopedia, or any standard work ot reierence.) ;i admit that our cov enanter ancestry made mistakes and groped for a time in darkness, but they managed to' find a way to here estab lish the best and. least burdensome government on this footstool of God's. I do not believe that any state,South or North, tries to enforce a law that in terfere's with anyone's religious belief. Hardships sometimes occur by the sudden enforcement of new and un tried laws, but our good United States constitution can soon stop any such injustice as . he . refers to, and nearly every Christian in our land is ready to defend, that constitution with his life. Stoppage of business on Sunday is ap proved by the, majority of employers and employes, and no state .makes a mistake when it consults the wishes of the majority and insists on reserving one day in seven as a day of rest. .lie wants us to- torsake unristianity because' of , the criminals it harbors. Let him then cease to practice medicine because of the' bloody murders that have recently taken place at the hands of his fellow professionals. in reterring to that tunerai sermon, I should have been more explicit, but I did not think it would be, necessary to inform my learned opponent, first of all, that the sermon was first printed in tne iood Klver ulacier, 'ine nies I at the office show f that' it appeared in the issue of February 28, 1891. h 1 am glad to-say that i am rree from all those physical -maladies' which W, L. A. assumes I am afflicted with They- would be terrible, indeed; but what shall We say of the moral leprosy that afflicts my opponent? ' tf. a. A few ot my good mends ad vise, me not to make any answer to Dr.' Adams' communication of last week. ,v On the other hand, I am taunted-; with "Reply if you can." "What I have'written I have written." R. E. Harbison, ' . In Conclusion. ) . , Editor Glacier: I promised in my last to point out the road so many are trying to find. What "religion" is jin body seems to know. Theologians have been, disputing over religion for nearly ten centuriep. What is it? "Pure religion and undefiled .before God and the Father is tills,- to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflic tion, and keep himself unspotted from the world." James i., 27. James has learned his teaching 'probably from Christ, who said: "Then shall , the king say unto them on bis right hand, Come, ye beloved of ray Father, inherit the kingdom prepared'for you from the foundation of the world. For I was an hungered and ye gave me meat, I was thirsty and ye gave me drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye clothed me, I was sick and ye visit ed tne, I was in prison and ye came un to me. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Mark xxv, 34. Saving religion as taught by Christ consists not in belief, but in acts, a broad humanitarianism. Practicing such a religion would make peace in every neighborhood, no one would cheat or slander his neighbor. Every man would look out for his neighbor's interest as carefully as he looks jifter his own, and we would have a millennium. This ends my article on theology. ,W. L. A.
