RICH MUST RECOGNIZE
RIGHTS OF THE POOR
Failure to Do So Causes Strife, Says
Rev. Or. Smither-GoIden Rule
Should Be Followed in
Municipal Affairs

At the First Christian church yesterday
morning Rev. A. G. Smither preached
upon 1.-The Kingdom of God Defined,
from the words of Paul, 1.-The kingdom
of God is not eating and drinking, but
righteousness and peace and joy in the
Holy Spirit" He said in part:
raul conceived the kingdom of God
to be forceful factor in the worlds life
1t lays hold with vital grip upon the
great problems of human life.
1T deals with the everyday affairs OF
life as embodied in this comprehensive
word Righteousness It's basis is right
doing. Its great purpose in the world is
to get men adjusted to do right. it is
the purpose and nature of God laying
hold upon. the needs and demands oil the
human. 1t has to do with ones obHga-
ton to self, to ones time, ones body
and powers.
Men must do right by themselves first.
1t has to do with relations in the family.
No family can be maintained unless the
law of right be the primal force in the
family circle. A neglect here means di-
vorce, disruption, destruction. This prln-
ciple must have to do with the labor
problem
"The capitalist and laborer must recog-
nize the others rights and faithfully dis
charge his own duty. A failure upon the
part of either at this point produces
strife, bitterness and evil. The business
world must be keyed to this 1~ndament-
ally eternal law of the universe
Golden Rule Not Dream
"The Golden Rule is no dream. 1t must
become embodied in the conduct and life
of the world. Civil and municipal affairs
can only reach their largest worth as
they embody the eternal principle OF
right
HThe present financial embarrassment
has been produced by ignoring this prin
ciple by many of the modern captains of
finance. The whole nature OF God IS
pledged to tie support of the right and
against the forces of evil. A man flies
in the face of the Almighty when he
does wrong. and there can be but one
end to such a life.
"Peace as used in the Bible arises from
harmonious adjustment The man VIII
does right is adjusted to the persons and
forces by which he is surrounded and
thus he is at peace. His harmony of life
is secured He is at peace with himself,
with his fellow man and with his God
No voice Of care can ever be heard when

he peace of the right is in the souls of

the peace Of the right is in the souls Of
men.
"In this kingdoli, righteousness and
peace produce their proper fruitage In
Joy. The normal condition of the human
heart is joyful. Men are only sad az
they suffer from wrong doing, either that
of themselves or of others. Remove the
wrong from human history and the
world would enter upon an era of JOY
Inc JOY of heaven will be perfect because
there will be- no sin there"

PASTOR PLEADS TO
LET THE HEART RULE
World Is Not in Need of New Ideas,
Says Rev. Harper in Interesting
Sermon at + 1ox Presby-
terian Church

Rev. E. J. Harper, pastor of the knox
Presbyterian church. preached yesterday
morning from the text: "Out of the heart
are the issues of life.
He said in part: '"rhis is an age in
which intellect counts for more than
heart Brain will win more applause and
demand a greater salary. The show OF
emotion is bad form and appeals to the
heart are not in good taste. The current
demand is for ideas-not for taste And
vet I am sure the world is not dying
for new ideas.
.'The teacher has high place amongst
us, and rightly so. but someone is needed
far more than teacher. 1t Is power
that we need; power that shall make us
daring enough to act. Power that shall
make us realize high individual, spir-
itual life. over to make us live out in
every day life all we have seen in vision
all we have learned in principle from
Jesus Christ.
This must come from the heart BY
heart we mean the warm center OF hui
man life. When you get close to a man
with a great heart it is like getting on
the south side of the house in the winter
time and letting the sunshine feel of you.
What intellect can plan only the
heart ran realize. The springs of civiliz-
alton are nc in the mind, but for the in
QlNlQudl anu lAlO oldlO tlAC ASSdEo VI
life are in the heart. All our reforms.
philanthropies, bounties and benefactions
that today brighten our life spring from
the heart. Mind may be the beginning
of civilization. but the fruitage of it is
of the heart.
Nothing in the fine arts is accom-
plised without the heart The painter
must have a passion to make the canvas
speak The sculptor must have heart
to make the marble live.
'They tell us that those whose duty It
is to follow in the wake of battle and
bury the dead find in the dying hour the
soldiers hand unclasped the sword and
reached int some inner pocket for a
faded letter. some keepsake or picture of
mother or sweetheart. These men die
not win the battle by holding before
them some thought of the rights OF man.
Some statesman may have taught the
theory and great generals may have
mapped out the line of battle, but it was
the love of home and God and native
land that entered into the soldier boy
and made mis- arm invincible."

time the steamers of the Oregon Steam
NAVIGATION company had carried no down
stream freight, save few hundred bales
of wool, which they taxed at one cent
per pound. Having been waited upon py
citizens of Walla Walla they gave them
a rate of 81 per ton to Portland, which,
considering the cost of rehandling upon
portage roads. was moderate enough
then. People in Portland tried the new
wheat and were hardly satisfied with
IL. but the bakers made the experiment
and found that the absorption of water
enabled them to get twenty pounds more
of bread from a barrel of flour grown
east of the Cascades than from valley
wheat From that moment wheat grown
in the finland Empire" (and l am the
l. n who originated that name) showed
it had come to stay. In 1877 the o s..
N. Co had two steamers running. on the
upper Columbia. Those two boats car
ried down the harvest of that year, in
all, 1880 tons. In the following year the
Almota was added to the fleet, and the
three boats brought down $3.50 tons. In
1880 the o. S. N. Co. had six boats run
ming east of Cello with the following
capacity for good boating stage of
water:

The total output of that year, includ-
ing Snake river landings, was 1860 tons.
L.. the year 1890 Henry Willard became
the purchaser of the concern and began
to run an opposition to himself by par
alleling his steamboat lines with railways
which, for the first three years, uld not
pay fixed charges, while the big Four"
of the o. S. N. Co.--Ainsworth, Reed,
Ladd and Thompson-put a check for S5
100000 in the bank and looked pleased.
With this change of affairs came the end
of frst-class steamboating in Oregon;
and the post of river captain, a strictly
American profession and q noble one,
dwindled down to about one degree bet
ter than that of hack driver. The old
saying that revolutions never go back
ward" was verified in the history of Ore
gon as wheat producing state. Cereal
culture in the great Willamette valley
gave way to fruits and milk, and the
once bleak and sterile lands east of the
Cascades became monstrous grain gar
dens to feed the hungry poor of half Of
Europe. The exports of wheat and flour
from Portland, since 1896, nave been as
follows, reduced TO straight wheat meas

Of which forty-four mills shut down in
one week. All cf the mills about Port
land are however, runr ing day and night,
ard some of them were reported to be
twenty days behind on foreign orders
because they could not get logs fast
enough. My own ido,. is that the day is
not far distant when log RATS will be
t1oated from the Upper Willamette
through the Oregon City locks. AS the
state has yet about twenty-eight billion
feet of standing timber this export is
not going to decrease very rapidly. Cut
that up into marketable lumber and sell
il at an average price of $12 per thousand
feet and you could yield a total of $S,-
$4,000 900 or a sum about equal to the
total circulation of federal currency at
the present writing.
Flour and Grain
That great statistician and greatest
literary economist of his day. Adam
smith. declared that 'the wealth of every
nation depends upon its ability to pro-
duce food" And while Oregon has never
made any such showing as California has
done IN IHe output VI 6Olu HlncS,
she has produced more wheat, in ratio
to her population. AT first the growing
of cereals was confined to the william
cite valley. the eastern portion of the
state being then devoted exclusively to
stock raising.
At one time the wheat output of the
willamette valley had reached 1900 900
bushels annually. but the lands became
gradually exhausted so that diversified
farming. dairying and orchard culture
became necessary The first cargo of
wheat exported from Portland to the
United Kingdom was about 800 tons.
The first shipment of over 1000 tons in
anv one vessel was made in October,
1S70 by Corbett & Macleay, in the Danish
shin Tordensjold. which carried 1880 tons
ito Cork for orders" After that, large
shins began to come in for cargoes. In
1SSa two large four-masted ships each
loaded over 5000 tons for England; and
since that time, score of British tramn
steamers have carried out over 4SOO
tons at a single voyage.
In 1877 came the revulsion. Farmers
living above Walla Walla found that
the light soil of that section enabled
them to plant sixty acres in wheat at
about the same cost as was required to
nIant thirty-five or forty in the adobe
lands Of the Willamette Up to that

This is merely the registered tonnage
of these ships which will be able to
carry away at least $1,000 tons between

Portland in 1885,

Portland's Banks
The first bank of any sort in Port
land was founded in 1854 by the late
Lewis NJ. Starr. Three others followed
| it and went into liquidation. The fifth
one, and the only one of the five now in
existence, is that of Ladd & Tilton,

Until a few years ago all the grain ex-

steamers chartered to load grain, three of
which have already sailed. The following
were loading and one or two of them may

acid.
Menden III was found lying cold in
death ~ the bed in his room above

North u street yesterday morning.
Mendenhall had not been seen by
any of the persons about the saloon
since Thursday noon when he secured
some hot water in the restaurant
kitchen and carried it to his room.
After making every effort to arouse
the man by repeated rapping on his
door the porter at KennepohFs place
realized that there was something
wrong notified the proprietor, and he
forced an entrance to the room. Up
on the cot was the PROSTATE form
of Mendenhall, and as soon as it was
ascertained that he was dead Coroner
Bramkamp was summoned. 1t was
evident that Mendenhalls life had
gone out several hours before his dis
covery. The body was removed to the

countess has not appeared in court
since the opening day. Mrs. William

When it came time for them to go

A fearful Leave Taking.
There was a fearful leave-taking be-
tween the mother and son after court
had adjourned for the day, and the
gray haired old woman told her boy
to bear up during the coming As
hours. She expressed herself as con-
fident that the result of the trial would
be favorable for the boy. Evelyn
Thaw kissed her husband goodbye
without tear in her eye and left hur-
riedly before the guard started back
with him to his cell in the sombre
Tombs prison.
Not once today did the attorneys
for the defense indicate in the ques-
tioning of talesmen the line they
would follow in their effort to clear
their client, and it is very plain that
they intend to keep the prosecuting
officials guessing up to the last posi-
BILE moment. While it is accepted by
persons familiar with the ms and outs
of the case that emotional insanity
will play prominent part in the con-

San Francisco, killed girls and hid
them in a church steeple, where the

ear and peculiar brow, you saw no
traces of the monster he was shown
to be. But when his hair was cut, an

A. R. VOSBURG WAS HERE
Former Resident of City, Now Prom
inent as Christian Scientist in
Richmond Yesterday.

Arthur R. Vosburg, c. S. B. of
Rochester, n. Y, member of the
Christian Science board of lecture
ship of the First church of Christ
Scientist in Boston, Mass, made a
short visit with DR.. and Mrs. c. j.
Mendenhall yesterday. Mr. Vosburg
was a resident of this city for a
short time, some fourteen years ago.
He resigned from the ministry of the
Presbyterian church, to enter into the
work of Christian Science. He came
here from New York and made his
home with Dr. and Mrs. Mendenhall,
where he made many friends. He
was a very warm friend of Rev. Alex
ander Gilchrist, who was formerly
minister in this city. Mr.. Vosburg
has recently returned from abroad,
where he delivered lectures upon
Christian science, in England, Ireland,
Scotland and Germany. In London he
gave lecture one evening to an au-
dience of over four thousand people.
In all his lectures he was introduced
to his audience either by an army
or navy officer. His audiences con-
sisted of some of the most intelligent
people of that country.
