BLIGHT RIDICULES
SOUTHLAND FORTS
Los Angeles Fellowship Minister
Intimates Nation May Be
Cursed by MiIitariSm

Blanchard hall was crowded yester-
day morning to hear Reynold r..
Blight, minister of the Los Angeles
Fellowship, speak on "Tolstoi, Philos-
opher and Fanatic
In brief prelude Mr.. Blight ridi-
culed the movement to iiave the fed
eral government fortify Southern Cal
ifornia. He said this movement is but
a part of a nationwide movement
called militarism, and declared that
unless we come to our national senses
we shall find ourselves burdened with
the curse of militarism and be in the
distressing conditions that are over
Whelming many European nations.
Speaking of Tolstoi, he said:
"The greatest moral teacher of the
nineteenth century has passed away.
He belonged not alone to Russia, but
to the world. 1t is true Tolstofs IDEAS
were coored somewhat by his Russian
surroundings, nevertheless his funda-
mental affirmative message was vital
to all races, and has a worldwide ap-
plication.
HE was one of the few Christians
who take Jesus and the sermon on the
mount seriously. Most preachers go
to absurd lengths to interpret and eX-
plain away the plain import of the
words of Jesus. He who spake as
never man spake, used the slmpleSt
language and the most direct methods,
and for twenty centuries his inter
prefers have been trying to read into
that majestic utterance the most oc-
cult phiIosophic and casuistic mean
ings, until the simplest commands are
enveloped in ambiguity and the plain
est precepts are obscured by subtle
exegesis. Yet. when those words were
first uttered, the common people heard
him gladly and understood. These
mighty words of spiritual power that
were to be the bread of life for the
nourishing of the nations have become
merely bones of contention among con-
f1icting schools of theology and ethics.
"Tolstoi sought to bring back to the
teachings of Jesus their pristine
purity and simplicity; and what is
more, he made an earnest effort to live
in accordance Herewith. OF course,
the world dubbed him a fanatic. Any
man who breaks with conventional
methods and dares assert the authority
of his conscience against the clamor
of the mob, is cursed as a fool, If 1t
cannot burn him as a hereto.
"Tolstois clearness of vision on
moral subjects, his courage of con-
viction, his sincerity of purpose and
his sublime conservation to a high
ideal crowns him as one of the most
splendid of the sons of man."

PASTOR PRAISES MOSES
AS GREAT WORLD LEADER
Rev. J. A. Geissinger Finds Les
sons in Leaders Life

"a Great Career was the topic OF
the Rev. j. A. Geissinger, pastor OF
the University Methodist church, last
evening. After tracing the story OF
the early days of Moses in which he
became learned in all the wisdom Of
the Egyptians, the speaker said In
part:
Judged by his Bsk and by the way
he accomplished it. Moses stands forth
as one of the worlds greatest leaders
and benefactors. His task was to fill
two million souls, servile and debased,
with a passion for liberty. And this he
did do. For a time his own people re-
sisted his appeal and later, weary with
the toll of the desert, longed for the
flesh-pOts of Egypts. But he did not
weary. He gave them new hopes. He
rained light into their darkened hearts.
He fired them with the wild. tumultu-
Gus hope of freedom. And then
through the years helped them toward
lf-government. laying down prin-
ciples for civil law, for religious Gull
ture and for the care of their bodies.
He became a father to these millions
of orphans Meek. unassuming, pa
tent. Jealous, tenacious, great heart
ed, afraid of no man or issue, con-
trolled by lofty conceptios and pure
motives, this man of God went on,
accursed for his Israel, went on to
the successful conclusion OF his task.
He wrought as seeing him who is i'm
visible. God was to him a pillar of
smoke by day and a pillar of fire by
night, and so he never utterly lost
heart.
"Such men make civilization pos
sible. They give standing room for
the souls of men, They make us all
their debtors and show us what life
was meant to be; not surrender but
victory. May we thank God for them
and take fresh courage"

WALLA WALLA MEN ARE
PATRONS OF CORSET COUNTER
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. !

Walla Falla, Wash.-Though il
may sound just bit fishy, Walla
Walla's most dapper young men
wear corsets.
Inquiry among the corset depart
ments of the city shows they have q
number of regular masculine GUS
toners. 1t is said by some that
Fort Walla Walla officers probably
head the list, with officers and men
of company X, N. G. W., a close
second. A near riot was precipitat-
ed at a recent drill when 1t was dis
covered that four of the comliest
non-con1missioned officers wore
steels
The program of the Walla Walla
man corset buyer is simple. He
tells the size, quality and make ne
wants. pays his bill and leaves. He
does not ask to be fitted.
Asked to describe the actions Of
man corset-buyer, a local sales
woman said:
when a man buys a corset he
bushes all the time he is at the
counter. Then he hustIes out as
soon as he can get away. One man
who bought a corset recently was so
embarrassed that he forgot to carry
the laces away with him and had to
come back after them"
"Do army and militia men buy the
regular women's corsets?" the dem
onstr9tor was asked
"Yes, indeed. A corset for a slen-
der girl is just the thing for the
average man. He soon gets the up
right, militant bearing so desired

SHOT WITH HIS
OWN REVOLVER

Seattle, Wash, June 3.-Robert
Wilson, sailor, honorably dis
charged from the cruistr Pennsylva-
MIA two weeks ago, was shot and
killed today by Annie Benson, an
18-year-old girl, who had charge Of
a lodging house. The police believe
the shooting was accidental. Wilson
and another sailor came in at day
light this morning. The girl was
up doing the housework, and they
stopped to balk with her. Wilson
showed her his navy revolver and
said. Now If burglar should come
we would do this way" and he
pointed the gun at the girl. Nov
take the shells out before you shoot
some one" the girl suggested, and
Wilson did. She left the room and
Wilson replaced the shells in the
gun, placed 1t on the table and laid
down on a couch
When Miss Benson returned she
picked up the gun, and jokingly
pointed 1t at Wilson, pulled the trig-
ger. Don't" he started to say, and
dropped dead. bullet in his brain.

granted power to enact and amend
their municipal charter, subject to
the Constitution and criminal laws OF
the State of Oregon, and the exclus-
i've power to license, regulate, con-
troll, or to suppress or prohibit, the
sale of intoxicating liquors therein
is vested in such municipality; but
such municipality shall within it's
limits be subject to the provisions Of
the local option law of the State of
Oregon.
Carefully read the above proposed
amendment to the Constitution and
be prepared to promptly sign or re-
ject the petition when it is presented
to you. The time is short for the
return of the petition to PORTLAND
to get the measure on the official
ballot for the Fall election, and the
papers must be sent in before next
Monday.
No one but legal voters can sign
the petition, and must not sign more
than one paper. A warning is priJt-
ed on the petition. All signatures
must be sworn to by the party circu-
lating the paper
The new law, if it goes on the bal
lot and carries, will extend the oper-
ations of the local option law to per-
NIT incorporated towns to govern
themselves in the matter of licensing
or prohibiting saloons independently
of the county vote. Towns voting
themselves dry will do so under
power of their charter and will en-
force the law at their own expense,
relieving the county tax
payers of the burden of prosecutions
The new law will be particularly
beneficial to the carrying out of the
provisions of the new city charter
of klamath Falls.
