Union Reform League

The Rev. W. D. P. Bliss spoke yesterday
afternoon at the League headquarters, on
Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" True
patriotism, he commended, did not consist in
vain boastlng Of our military proves, but
rather in the love OF free institutions, for
economic freedom and all that went towards
the betterment Of man. materially. morally
and spiritually. He said We as nation had
much to be proud Of. He referred in feeling
terms TO the brave men who were now fight
ing the battles OF our country. He showed
that the best In man Is not called forth
for the qualification of mere material wants;
that sentiment ethics and religion are facts
that must be taken into account in our esti-
mates of the basis Of human action. He
though. Socialists, who looked merely at
the economic side Of that theory. made
grave mistake; that love OF country, love Of
free institutions and deep religious feeling
are very potent factors In governing human
action. The history Of reforms goes to show
that the ideal Of liberty. equality and fra
ternity Is the basis Of them all. But in
dividualism has been tried and found want
ing. Indiyiduaism ends In tyranny. The
contrary idea Of association, Of brotherhood.
OF cooperation, is the principle that Christ
taught and gave expression TO in the SER
mon on the mount. The lecture was an
eloquent defense OF Christian Socialism, and
was listened to with rapt attention.

Declaration Of Independence Based on
Christian Principles


Rev. A. A. Rice, the pastor, spoke for
the last time before vacation on christian
ity and the Declaration of Independence. "
taking his text from Prov. XIV, "a:
righteousness exalteth a nation He
said in brief:
"This text. which was written more
than 1000 years before Christ, and the Dec
laration of independence, which was exc
cuted nearly 1000 years after his day. are
based on the most vital principle of the
universe, and are both excellent. Aough
incomplete, statements of the Christian
religion. When the Declaration Of indie
pendence says that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed with certain
inalienable rights, 1t recognizes the simple
truth of Solomon, that Righteousness ex-
alteth a nation and is a reiteration Of
what Jesus taught as the fundamental OF
his system. When it speaks of rights to
life, liberty and happiness for ALL 1t APP
proaches the Golden Rule of Jesus and
undermines the partition wall between
Jew and Gentle. Herein is unequlvocally
stated the principle that righteousness is
the only road to life. The individual or ma
ton that observes this principle is exalted
Spain's decadence is the result of lack of It's
observation, while Americas thrift is due
to the measure with which it has followed
the instruction of its Independence Decla-
ration. 'Unatenable.' or 'Godgiven,' law
makes true this principle"

THE BUTCHERS PICNIC
BARBECUED BEEF, DANCING AND
RACES FOR ALL
A Very Large Gathering Attends the
Annual Outing of the j. B. P.
and B. A. at Sycamore Grove

The journeymn butchers did themselves
proud yesterday on the occasion OIL thelr
fifth annual picnic and barbecue, whlch
took place at Sycamore Grove. Arroyo
Seco. The members of the Journeymen
Butchers Protective and Benevolent asso-
citation have many friends who never fail
to show up when the time for the bar
becue arrives and aid in making the picnic
q financial and pleasing success. The butch
ers and their employees their wives, their
friends and their customers, the ice men
and the men of the Cudahy Packing COM
pany, not forgetting a few policemen that
were not on duty, or else were on duty
there, and lots of lady friends of all these
people, had filled up the grove as it has
not been filled this year during the pcnic
season. The barbecued beef and the bread
were free, and If the beer had to be paid
for it did not look so at first glance, from
the consumption that was made of it.
The committee of arrangements consisted
of II. Speh, d. Shea, A. Hughes, d. Conant
and S. Doll, and these gentlemen had
looked with great care after the details.
The floor committee was composed of John
Won Poser and Charles Wiebolt, and the
music was provided by the Ahrend or
chestra. The games were of the conven-
tional kind, consisting principally of races
for men and women, boys and misses, and
there was one also for the butchers, a
bowling contest, in which there were four
prizes. and there were also rewards for
the best dancers There were no prizes for
those who could drink the most lager with
out filing up, but that didn't stop the
butchers and their friends from trying to
get away with as many flowing bowls as
they could while the beer was ice cold and
the temperature Internally hot.
Among those who did not need the in
centive of a cash prize or an Illuminated
stein from the fatherland to put beer out
of sight was coal-black son Of Ham with
short legs, who had brought his
buxom madam and cunning
pickannny with little curls, along
to enjoy themselves. The lady was
seated in front of the ice cream booth,
and the little girl toddled in front Of the
admiring mamma and was made much of
by the other people. Massa George Wash
ington, presuming that to be his name.
was everlastingly on the march between
his wife and the bar, toting an empty glass
away and bringing full one back. He
took his'n before he returned. These re-
peated trips made his eyes very watery
and his short legs rather wobbly, but
everything considered he was doing re-
markedly well. His wife, however. who
knew his prognostics best, finally inter-
posed an earnest protest. He did MOI bring
her any more beer, but didn't let her re-
marks interfere with his thirst. AS a gen.
eral thing there was no excess of any
kind, and the picnic passed off very nicely
and orderly.

able as 1t Is, our government could no

forth Its hand for the disenthrallment of

BOTTLED UP hAGAN
A WHITTIER ESCAPE GIVES THE
OFFICERS A CHASE
He Ran Under a House and Tried to
Hide But Was Routed From
His Retreat

The announcement OF the destruction OF
Cervera's fleet in Santiago harbor was not
the only exciting incident last night, and for
about ter minutes the crowds divided their
attention between the bulletin and citizens
and trio OF policemen, who were pursuing
az fleet red-headed youth as ever bounded
over the pavements of Los Angeles. Shortly
before 10 o'clock Officer Edwards observed
an Authenticated young fellow riding, of all
colors, white horse on Main street; be-
tween Third and Fourth. Edwards recog
nized the boy as Jim Hagan, an escape from
the Whittier Reform school.
The officer stopped the boy and asked him
about his Whittier experience, to which
Hagan replied that his parents had taken
himl out Of the school. and he was employed
by Richey, the hackman. Edwards placed
the boy under arrest and marched him to
the police station. When In front of the
building Hagan tied the horse to post, and
while several officers stood watching him
turned and patted the horse farewell. Then,
without a word of warning, the boy wheeled
and darted down First street towards Broad
way. The move was so unexpected that the
officers did not overcome their surprise Until
Hagan had established, considerable lead
over them.
"Stop that MANI yelled Officers Edwards
and Richardson in chorus, as they and sew
eral bystanders started In pursuit. Hagan
turned south into Broadway and sped down
the street at rate of speed which threaten
ed to distance the pursuers. Officer A.
W. Murray was reading the bulletins al
First street and Broadway. and he started
after the speedy Hagan. Although sandy
haired, long-legged and thin, Murray could
not hold his own with the Whittier cadet.
and when the latter turned into Second
street the chasers felt certain that he would
escape Unfortunately for Hagan, how
ever. he thought to dodge his pursuers, and.
like the unhappy Cervera, was bottled UP in
consequence.
Hagan darted through hole In the lattice.

ond street, and tried 10 hide in the cellar.
He lay face downward on the ground and IS
his clothes were dark in color the officers
could not a first determine whether Hagan
had eluded them or not. Finally lantern
was secured and a search made, when Of
ticer Murray discovered the boy. Hagan
made no further attempt to escape.

THE FLAG AND THE CROSS
DR.. Wendte at the Church of the
Uuitv

At the Church of the Unity yesterday
Rev. Z. w. Wendte prefaced his discourse
by few remarks of personal nature. 1t
was absolutely incorrect, he said, that his
recent resignation of the pastorate of the
church had been sought or even suggested
by any officer or member of the church.
On the contrary 1t was great surprise to
the trustees and membership and entirely
voluntary on his part. He resigned for the
reason given, because he was physically un-
equal to the duties of the position and must
take an extended rest from pulpit labors.
DR.. Wendte announced as his topic 'The
Flag and the Cross" Religion and patriot
ism are the two great moral influences to
which society is subject Previous to the
introduction of Christianity, patriotism
was the only ruling moral motive and was
the parent of many virtues. 1t lacked,
however, the gentler human traits espe-
cially sympathy and cathoicity of spirit
Christianity presented a higher motive In
its doctrine of the universal brotherhood of
man and the supreme Importance of the In
dividual soul. But this led to a new one
sideness. Not content with subordinating
patriotism to religion, the Christian church
soon came to ignore it altogether It with
drew its votares from the functions and
interests of civil society, transforming them
into unworldly devotees and ardent candi-
dates for heaven. Through the revival cf
classic learning and the Protestant refor-
nation in the fifteenth and sixteenth centu-
ries, patriotic and robust virtues became
once more familiar to men and rekudled the
dying traditions of liberty and nationality
The ecclesiastical was replaced with the
secular state. The struggle for liberty and
pure religion is not ended, but Is still going
on in Italy, France, Germany and SPAIN
as well as on this continent. But the VIC
tories already achieved and the whole as
pect and tendency of public sentiment today
warrant the belief that the spirit of patri-
otism, so long obscured, is to be restored to
it's rightful place in the moral life of man.
But it is no longer, as in antiquity, mar
row, selfish, exclusive sentiment. It is a
love of country enlightened by lofty concep-
tons Of human brotherhood, an uacerlying
consciousness of the spiritual unity of the
race and the solidarity of all human inter
ests, quickened sympathy with all ma
tional aspirations after liberty, justice and
happiness. In this sense patriotism and re-
ligion are warm and steadfast friends and
have common purpose to develop what is
noblest in man.
