The OTHER WAY
Rev. n. w. Reed Declares it is
NJ True That Church Does
Not Want Workingman
IN FIRST SERMON OF SERIES
Says it Is the Labor Unions That
Make Distinctions-scne Serv-
ice at Grace Lutheran.

| At the First Baptist church last ev-
ching the pastor, Rev. H. w Reed,
gave the first of a series of four ser
mons on the general topic, THE Rela-
tion of the Church to the Working
man The special topic of the evening
was Does the Church Want the Work
! ingman"
DR.. Reed first defined the word
'workinsna an saying that it must not
| be limited to those who are members
of labor organizations. Membership
! does not necessarily make man a
worllingman. since he said that men
are admitted who never learned the
trade, or worked a day at it. The claim
| is often heard that the church does not
want the workingman. The pastor said
! that he had been a church member for
nearly 81 years, in churches in city and
/ village, and had never heard it even
suggested by any members of any
/ church that the workingman was not
wanted. On the contrary, every pastor
! is doing all that he can to induce men
to attend the churches.
Church Membership is Cosmopolitan.
! In denying the claim that the work
! ingman is not wanted five statements
were made. ut is contrary to fact as
, shown by experience" Reference was
made to the makeup of the member
! ship of this church. Here were men
! who were engaged in all lines of work,
/ some of them members of labor organ
izati0ns, and all but perhaps Il half
dozen eligible to such membership.
/, These laboring men are among the most
honored officers of the church. Again,
| Dr. Reed said he had never seen Il
man who had heard any church officer
say that they did not want the work
men. 1T is hearsay, rather than any
authoritative statement" Also, lit is
un-American" We do not naturally di-
vide ourselves up into classes in this
way 1t is unfair to the men them
selves. And yet. they are the ones
! who make the division into classes,
ana magnify it, and then put brand
of infeLiority upon their own class.
Lastly, ''ftiz too often an effort to quiet
! the voice of conscience"
While They save souls.
In conclusion. the pastor said that as
long as workingmen had, souls to be
saved; as long as they hadaoharacters
to be built; as long as they had. lives
to be uplifted, and as long as they had
need of comfort in sorrow. just so long
the church does want the workingmen.
Song service is Held.
The song service given by the choir
of Grace Lutheran church last evening
was well attended and the program was
very well received. There were several
numbers given by the choir, also duets
and solos by outside talent, with a
short address by the pastor.

Hounds Discovered Trick.

In the stonewall counties of Ireland
foxes sometimes resort to the strata
gem of running along the top Of the
walls for a considerable distance, and
throwing the hounds off the scent.
There was an incident Of this kind
with the Waterford hounds after their
meet at Carick-on SUR. A fox jumped
on to the top of a wall at CORDIALLY, but
Mr.. Pollok was equal to the emergency
and held his hounds along by the side.
Suddenly one of the pack jumped on to
the wall, and running along the top
carried the scent unerringly for a mile
and half. Finding his tactics of no
avail, the fox took to terra firma, but
the hounds were now close on his brush
and bowled him over.

FREIGHTER FORCED TO DIsRoBE
AND PASS OVER COIN TO
HIGHWAYMAN

CALDWELL, Ida, Feb. 12.-One OF
the boldest holdups perpetrated in this
section of the country for years past
occurred about three miles west OF
Caldwell Wednesday,, on what is
known as the Jordan Valley road
Marcus Rentiar. a Spanish freighter
who has been running a freight team
between here and Jordan Valley foI
years past, was met in the road by a
man on horseback, who, upon Rentiar's
approach, ordered him to hold up his
hands, which he was not long in do
ing. He was then ordered to get down
off his wagon and take off his clothes
and take everything out Of his pockets
which he also seemed glad to obey
under the circumstances. The high
wayman, then appropriated the plum
der, amounting to 1915, and leisurely
started in the direction of Boise
Rentiar hurried to Caldwell and gave
the alarm, when a posse started III

HE SHOULD BE QUIET.
Former Governor John Lind, Remarks
About SANDER of Volunteers.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 10
john Lind, former governor of the
state of Minnesota and former con-
gresham from the fifth district, is
ready with an answer to Frederick L.
Huidekoper of Washington, who, in a
recent article in the North American
Review, charges the United States
militia with cowardice and general in
competence.
Mr.. Huidekoper won considerable
unpleasant notoriety during the Span
ish war, when he was surgeon IN
charge of the military camp at Chick
amauga and responsible for the san
itation. Mr.. Lind was quartermaster
of the Fourteenth Minnesota regiment
in camp at Chikamauga, and therefore
speaks from personal acquaintance
and observation.
Speaking of Mr.. Huidekoper's attack
on the militia, Mr.. Lind said today:
81 regret to state that 1 have met
the cat doctor Huidekoper. am
also surprised to learn that he is writ
ing for a supposedly reliable and re-
spectacle publication on the subject
of the Preparedness Of the United
States for War and that he is said
to be an expert on military matters

BOY CONVICTED OF .MAMslAuGHTER
ALBERT BARBER MUST SERVE
TERM IN PEN FOR KILLING
c. MALCOLM LAST YEAR.

WEISER, Feb. 1.-THE case of AL
bert Barber, charged with the murder
of Charles Macomb at Midvale, was
concluded at 10 o'clock this morning,
when the jury brought in a verdict of
manslaughter
The crime with which Barber was
charged was committed at Midvale the
evening of December %, last. The
trouble began at dance, Of which
Barber was manager, and was re-
sumed at saloon run by Macomb's
brother, where Barber had gone to
make arrangements for dance to be
given Christmas night. Macomb, who
was a large, powerful man, struck
Barber, VINO is a mere boy, and was
attempting to strike again, when Bar
Der stabbed him twice in the left
breast above the heart. Macomb
lived several days after he was
stabbed and at first was thought not
to be in any danger Barber had a
preliminary hearing before Macomb's
death and was released as the coun-
ty attorney did not think the evidence
enough to convict.
Macomb was married man.

A convention of game wardens from
every county in the state will be held
some time in March, probably at an
early date, for the purpose of dis
cussing matters of legislation to be ad-
vanced at the next session Of the state
legislature. The plan to hold the
convention mas been under considera-
ton for some time and all the different
wardens in the state have signified
their support of the movement.
Never before in it's history has the
protection of the wild game OF the
state assumed such Importance as

sportsmen throughout the entire

Graduation Day at Annapolis.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. ICON
trary to the usual custom the gradual
ing exercises of the class of 1906 were
held today, instead of being held some
time in June as in former years. Vari-
Gus reasons are assigned for the
change. 1t is said that the principal
reason was that the United States
navy is in pressing need of officers and
that it was absolutely necessary to
graduate the class ahead of the reg
ular time, to fill a number Of vacan-
cies in the service. 1t is believed,
however, that the recent hazing-trials
had something to do with the matter
and that the graduation was held SO
early to give the students a chance to
graduate before the charges against
them were investigated.
1t is generally remarked that this
years graduating class contains an
unusually large number of young men
who have made excellent athletic rec
ords during the past few years. Among
the young athletes are several who
have won considerable distinction on
the gridiron, in baseball, rowing, rifle
shooting, gymnasium work, sprinting
and running, jumping, vaulting and in
fencing.

UNAT|LLA DEMOCRATS TO GATHER
PLANKS IN COUNTY PLATFORM
ARE TO BE DISCUSSED AND
CANDIDATES PUMPED.

PENDLETON, Feb. 12.-There will
be a gathering Of Umatilla county
February II. The purpose of the
meeting of the party wheelhorses and
candidates is to ascertain the general
sentiment relative to the several planks
to be laid in the county platform upon
which the office seekers will stand
at the forthcoming election. The meet
ing has been called by DR.. w. K.
Campbell, chairman Of the county GEN.
trail committee, who is registered at the
Imperial hotel, this city.
The principal topic will be the action
on the referendum vote pertaining to
the state institutions which have been
temporarily deprived Of maintenance
by the circulation of the referendum
petition last year by the Yamhill peo-
pie with socialistic inclinations. They
secured to their petitions the sigma
lures of a fifth of the qualified voters
of the state, with the result that portz
ions of the appropriations have been
held up. Whether the referendum
shall be sustained is one of the quest
ions which has crept into the cam
paign in that section of the state.
An aftermath of the Yamhill county
petition was the closing of the Weston
Normal school in Umatilla county
There are four normal schools in the
state The other three are being ope-
rated by public subscriptions, the cour'
having decided that the schools cannon
issue any cash warrants, like the other
state institutions.
When the Weston school closed las'
June. the directors said it would take
$4,000 to continue it until the mex
session of the legislature. OF that sun
$500 was raised in and around weston
and Pendleton, but the directors sai'
that was not enough and did not opei

Knowing him as do, l can but doubt
the value of his work and opinion. but
will admit that were he to prepare a
treatise on The Virtues and Possibili-
ties of Bourbon" it would be not only
authentic, but might become a clas-
sic on the subject
A "Cat Doctor"
Il have heard and suppose it is true
that Mr.. Huidekoper at some time at
tended and was graduated from a col
lege Of medicine, where students were
trained to administer to the wants OF
human beings. His practice, however,
was largely along the lines of veter-
mary medicine, his speciality being the
care and treatment Of the ills Of cats
and pet dogs in New York city.
Il met this man in camp at Chicka-
manga. He was in charge and was
responible for the anitation of that
camp. He was too busy with other
things to pay much attention to mis-
duty, and the sickness and death that
lurked in and about that camp be-
cause Of the negligence of the most
common sanitary rules is a disgrace to
the war record of the United States
The men and officers could not be
blamed, as they had no previous train
ing, and the camp was supposed to be
in charge of Mr. Huidekoper, who was
responsible for it's sanitation.
THE waters of Chickamauga creek
were piped through the camp for the
use of the men, presumably by the
order of Mr.. Huidekoper. Chickamau-
ga is the Indian word for death, and
is was death to the men VINO drank
that water during the months of July
and August. 1t teemed with malaria
and other diseases and reaped a rich
harvest. I do not know that Mr.
Huidekoper ever exposed himself. 1t
is a positive fact that the hospital
drains and latrines and the camp la
trines were never properly covered or
cared for. Someone was too busy to
attend to his duty.
The Citizen SoIdiery.
History has demonstrated that the
citizen soldiery of the United States
will stand against the world. There
may be things that are not as they
should be and mistakes may have been
made, but in my mind, it is not in the
province Of all persons to pretend to
judges and to make public their
opinions A sick or dead soldier can
do little for his country. Sanitary
provisions are no less important than
discipline in the management of a
campaign or in case of war, but I have
not learned that Mr.. Huidekoper has
treated this in his article"
Other military men who have seen
service were angry today and Mr..
Huidekoper, were he to come to Min
neapolis, would find his reception too
warm for his peace and presence Of
mind.
