Katie Kehm Smith

Washington, where she met and married
Hon. d. w. Smith, IN eminent lawyer and
stanch Freethinker. Mrs. Smith still
carried her maiden name before her mar
ried name and in this way she maintained
her individuality and identity. She found
a noble companion in her husband Judge
Smith gave all possible aid to this brilliant
young advocate of Liberal philosophy. To-
gether they conceived the plan of educat-
ing the youth and childhood of the far west
in Liberal ideas ana through their joint
efforts the First Secular Church of Port
land, Oregon, with a Secular Sunday School
attached, was brought into active exist
ence. Mrs. Smith, still aided by her hus-
band, conducted both church and school
and 1t grew to large proportions under
their joint care and management. The
Oregon Secular Union soon came into ex-
istence and under its auspices Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith established a circuit of Secular
Sunday schools, placing competent teachers
in charge, they retaining a supervision over
the work. Mrs. Smith lectured for the port
land Secular Church every Sunday and she
was invariably favored with a large and
enthusiastic audience. From her brain and
pen came the Sunday lessons, printed on
small leaflets, for use by the attendant
children. Her talents were devoted exclu-
sively to the cause of Liberalism. In recog-
Secretary of the Oregon State Secular
Union, and the Blades editor had the
pleasure of meeting with both of these
sturdy workers at one of the annual con-
ventions of that body, held at Salem. the
Oregon State Capital, in the spring of
1892. Later Mr.. and Mrs. Smith attended
one of our lectures at Barlow Oregon, and
Mrs. Smith took part in the proceedings.
While thus engaged, Judge Smith, having
the means at command, purchased a beauti-
full home on the Willamette River. Mrs.
Smith, once playfully named 1T Castle
Kehm on the Willamette" and her husband,
falling in with the idea suggested, adopted
the name she had given 1t and for some
years thereafter it was so known. The
home was situated on a lofty crag by the
side of the river from which a splendid
view could be obtained of the surrounding
country.
But work will tell. The excessive studies
she INDUCED in, the constant volume of the
work she was undertaking, soon had its
effect upon her youthful frame. She sick
ened and died. She had made frequent
contributions to the Freethought press Of
the country. Her lecture appointments, her
church work and Sunday school labors, her
efforts to build up the State organization,
began to wear upon the physical strength of
this small frame, this bundle of womanly
energy and nerve that she was unable to
survive the shock and after a brief but
severe illness she passed away attended by
loving hearts in her beautiful Oregon home.
Sad was the blow to her loving husband
the blow was greater to the cause of Free
thought. The splendid work she had done

Until very recently II has been i'm

WHITLEY AGAIN
IN WAR PAINT
AMERICAN JUDGE OF SHANGHAI
RETURNS TO ATTACK ON VICE
IN FAR EASTERN PORT.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 27-Judge
Wiley OF the American court of
Shanghai is again embroied in strife
with al the forces OF the foreigners in
the Chinese treaty port. This mill
tant yIrist of the Orient has almost
become an international complication
in his ruthless campaign against every
sort of vice that dourishes in Shanghai
which is called the Paris Of the East.
He made things so Orientally hot
for gamblers aud the people of the gay
and crimson way that he earned the
reputation of being the most hated
man in China. When he came to the
United States a few months ago he
was pursued across the Pacific by =
lawyer, who sought 10 institute i'm
peachment proceedingE against him
in Washington. But Roosevelt said
no; he had every confidence in VII
fleys integrity and ability. Taft even
wrote a commendatOry forewOrd to :
magazine article defending Wilney's
course in the East.
And now he is back again in Shang-
hal and into the midst Of renewed
strife. The Pacific Mail liner Man
churia brought the latest news of the
campaign. The battle just now wages
about the person of S. r. Price, a mil
lionaire, and the reputed owner OF a
big gambling hall just outside the
limits of Shanghai.
Many, many months ago Price was
convicted by Judge Wiley for threat
ening to shoot the proprietor OF a
hotel in an alteration over an insult
offere to a woman. Judge Whitley

My own youthful recollection of that
district extends to seventy-two years
back when my father, the Rev Arte-
mas Bishop, removed from Kailua, Ha-
wall, to Waiawa, Eva, now a part OF
Pearl CITY," He then, 1886. brought
with him to Eva the fist cattle or
goats ever introduced into that dis
trict, viz. two cows and their calves,
and thirty goats. At that date, there
we're certainly no forests reaching to
tide water, nor any within several
miles of it, or at less than 600 feet
altitude. Nor had there ever been any
trees, except those planted by the then
populous villagers along the shore. At

very slowly multiplied, but never

fight that Whitley is making. he Is
withstanding the whole OF Shanghai

tor of the Chinese Gazette and a Bri-
fish subject, went into the line OF
fire by publishing a TRADE against Will

perjurer a liar and hypocrite." Will
fey responded by bringing action TOR

the British officials have postponed the
case until after the November election
in the United States, for fear it may
have an effect on the choice of a pre-
sident should it become an interna-
tional complication.

Native testimony was united that
twenty years before, in the old san

had been burned off from the uplands,
and the sandal-wool gathered up from
its fragrant remains among the ex-
tinguished embers. In those late thir-
