recently noted by "The Portland Oregonian."
few weeks ago Or. A. A. Morrison, rector or
Trinity Episcopal Church, Portland, being called
upon to oficiate at the funeral of a suicide
uttered these words of comprehensive Christian
charity and hope:
1t is too generally believed that divine sym
pathy is denied to those who take their lives py
their own hands. Such doctrine is monstrous
and preposterous. and at entire variance with
the teachings of Christ. If one person Is more
entitled to divine sympathy than another IL Is
the person who has been refused human sym
pathy and encouragement in this world anu
proved inadequate to the battles of life.
Evidently the old ecclesiastical tradition that
a suicide was beyond salvation has no place ID
Dr. Morrison's creed. And at about the same
time DIR. Edgar T. Hill, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church of Portland said at the grave
OF an agnostic:
He knew, doubt that he was standing on
the threshold of the unknown world, and IL may
be that even then out of the haze there were
SHINING the clear rays of the Sun of righteous
ness And let us trust that now, face to face
with Him in whom are hid all the treasures OF
wisdom and knowledge, he is having explained
these great questions which for so many years
he loved to think about.
These two utterances are symptOmatc of the
religious uplift and outlook of the age, and
show concHsively that the glacial deposits of
bigotry and intolerance are fast melting away
In the bright sunlight of charity and truth.

THIRTY SPEECHES AND NO ANSWER

Mr.. Bryan was scheduled yesterday for no
fewer than thirty speeches., thus beating his
own previous record. 1t does not appear, how
ever, that in single one of them he gave di-
rect, comprehensive and definite answer to the
pertinent and supremely important questions
that have been asked of him concerning the
currency, though he must have known that
such an answer would be received by the Nation
with greater interest than anything else he could
say. His answer to such questions tbnn
must be found If not in the present, in the past.
The POpOcratic leader, who boasts his readiness
TO meet his opponents on any issue. continues
to dodge and to shirk the paramount issue of
the campaign. He can split the ears of the
groundlngs" with verbose vociferations about
the deadly octopus and about the hideous mill
tarism which would make not every man but
one man in thousand soldier But ask him
about free silver, and he lodges as though soma
one had tried TO leave a art a brick at i'm"
and If you inquire whether, as President he
would pay Government obligations in gold or
silver his muteness makes the traditional ovs-
ter seem by contrast bosterous brawIer. Yet
with all his studied silence and premeditated
evasion, Mr.. Bryan cannot escape the RESPONSE
bility Of answering these questions We have
already cited the answer which he gave in a
formal resolution, which he sought to have en-
acted as the law OF the land. That was one
answer, emphatic and unmstakable And the

second is like unto it. Four years ago Mr..
Bryan declared:

second is like unto it. Four years ago Mr..
Bryan declared:
The Democratic party has begun war OF
determination against the gold standard we
give no quarter. We shall prosecute our war
fare until there is not one American citizen VINO
dares to advocate the gold standard.
That Is Mr.. Bryan's answer to all questions
about free silver and all phases of the currency
question. The policy which has placed this
Nation in line with practically all other impor-
tant nations on the globe, and which has given
to it the greatest prosperity in its history, is
to be revoked, abolished exterminated- That
is Mr. Bryan's intention, if he is elected Presi-
dent. "for he himself has said it" Oh, but
he said it four years ago, in 1896? Yes But
what did he say a few weeks ago. before MS
timidity set in?
The Democratic party stands where it did in
1896 on the money question
To which he adds in every act and utterance
81 am the Democratic party" Unless, there
fore he expressly disclaims and recants 1t, his
answer of 1896 must stand as his answer of to-
day. He does not venture to recant 1t; not even
in thirty speeches.

JULY ELECTION.
Four School Directors to be
Elected.
II. |. Parry Not a Candidate, but Other
Retiring Members Not so
Positive.

Two weeks from next Saturday the
annual school district election takes
place. The members of the board of
whose terms expire are L. G. M.
Fletcher, Clark Keysor, H. l. Parry
and DR.. l. D. Webster
Mr.. Fletcher, when asked by Free
Press reporter whether he would be a
candidate for reelection, was rather
non committal in his reply but left
the impression that he would run
again. He has served on the board for
about forty years, such is his stand
in with the First and Second ward
voters and has rendered some valu-
able service to the district. No other
name has yet bbn mentioned, but it
is early yet and those who want
change may bring out name at the
eleventh hour.
Capt Keysor was not seen, but it is
not thought that he will decline to
serve the people of his ward another
term on the board should they call on
him. His place on the board would
be difficult to fill in many respects, and
he has seen such long service that he
is thoroughly familiar with the
schools and their requirements.
Mr.. Parry stated this afternoon in
positive terms that he does not desire
a reelection and will under no cir
cumstances be candidate. He has
made an excellent member, his vote
being cast on the right side of nearly
every question, and it is to be re-
GREETED that he has determined not to
run again. No other name has yet
been mentioned
DR.. Webster was non committal when
seen, but left the impression that he
would not decline reelection if
there was no opposition. He has
given the board some faithful service
and his friends would be glad to see
him return A well known resident
in the precinct which comprises the
Fifth and Sixth wards, stated today
that an opposing candidate would
come out in due time and that fight
was imminent.
In making selections for members of
the board, the voters should consider
competency above any to her thing.
No salary attaches, but honest and
faithful service is needed, and the
board should continue to be composed
of first class members.
