PORTLAND LIGHT
AND POWER MERGER
(From The oregonian)

Absorption of the Mount Hood Com.
pany by the Portland Railway, Light
n Power Company effectively demon
strates the futility of hope that elcc.
trio seyrice will any time soon in this
city be regulated by force of competi-
tl0n. The great corporation that now
controls the electric power, lighting
and car service in Portland and owns
or provides current for every interur.
ban system terminating in Portland
will undoubtedly maintain its monop-
oily for years to come.
This fact need not be particularly
alarming, yet it may be unless the
public awakens. Regulation by the
state Of cost and quality of service is
the proper and only safeguard that can
now be applied against the abuses that
uncontrolled monopoly Invariably leads
to. In November the people will vote
on public service commission act.
This act would now be in force had
not Senator Dan kellaher, for'an idle
or useless purpose, invoked the refer
endum on the law.
If this pending law is not effective
in every particular if the commission
is not given adequate power-t can
and should be amedned by the legisla-
ture. 1t is good ground work for elrec-
tive regulation. if nothing more, but
almost certainly it is an adequate law
as 1t stands. The necessity for its
adoption has now been augmented i'm.
measurably There would seem to be
no honest question of its desirabiilty.
The shortcomings of attempted mu-
nieipal regualtion of public utilities,
moreover. IS demonstrated by the mer-
ger. The city council sought to check
by ordinance this or a similar consoli-
dation. In granting the Mount Hood
a franchise the council inserted an in
hibition against the sale thereof to any
competing corporation The restric-
tion is wholly ignored. In reality it
was a useless provision. The Portland
Railway. Light q Power Company
doubtless can get along without the
Mount Hood franchise and still utilize
the Mount Hood equipment. Within
the city 1t has its own tracks over
which cars from the new line may
travel. Outside of Portland the city
council cannot regulate or prevent or
inhibit, The city council is practically
as powerful as the city utilities com.
mission that Mr. Kellaher wanted. 1t
was for such ilimsy control as this he
proposed to sacrifice state regulation.
For the ungratitied hope Of obtaining
It he has forced the sacrifice of two
years Of efficient regulation.

The New Church.

Sunday morning, the entire struc-
ture of the Episcopal church will be
used for public worship for the first
time. While Bemidji is not church
less city, yet the completion of new
structure, especially one as beauti-
full as the one to be opened tomor-
row, is material evidence of the re-
ligious life that is sometimes not al
ways evident on the surface. To
build church, it is necessary for ev-
cry member of the congregation to
put his shoulder to the wheel. The
Episcopalians and their leaders, Arch
deacon Parshall and Reverend Harris,
are to be congratulated, not only for
making the effort but on the results
obtained. 81

conferred the freedom of the city on
General Booth and also voted a con-
siderable sum to the funds Of the
Salvation Army.
In the early career of the Saliva
ton Army General Booth and his
followers were the objects of much
ridicule The street meetings and
the methods of the army: in general
were looked upon as sensational and
often the forces were hard pressed by
persecution or prejudice. But the or
ganization persevered and when it's
aims and work became better known
public sentiment underwent change.
In his work General Booth was
ably supported by his family. Mrs
Booth shared largely in all her hus-
bands efforts, and further explained
their views in a number of written
u 80 (
works. She died of cancer in 1890,
after several years of painful illness.
Until 1896 the generals chief-of-staff
was his eldest son, Burlington Booth.
In that year, however, difference
occurred between the two, due to the
order of General Booth transferring
his son from the command of the or
ganization in the United States. Bal
lington Booth desired to remain in
America The difference in views re-
suited in the withdrawal of Balling-
ton Booth and his wife from the Sal
walton Army and the inauguration of
the Volunteers of America.

General William Booth.

Reports from London where Gen.
eral William Booth, founder and
head of the Salvation Army, is slow
ly losing his strength indicate that
he will live but a short time longer.
Probably no one man in religious life
since the middle of the last century
has won the world wide reputation
nor more deserved his honor and dis
tinction than General Booth.
He was born at Nottingham, April
10, 1929, and educated at private
school in that town. He studied
theology with the Rev. William Cook,
D. D., became a minister Of the Meth
odist New Connexion in 1850, and
was appointed mostly to hold spec
ial evangelistic services, to which he
felt so strongly drawn that when the
Conference of 1861 required him to
settle in the ordinary circuit work,
he resigned, began his labors as an
evangelist among the churches where
ever he had an opportunity. Com
ing in this capacity to the East End
of London he observed that the vast
majority of the people attended no
place of worship, and he started
"The Christian Mission in July,
1865. To. this mission when it had
become a large organization, formed
upon military lines, he gave in 1878
the name of "The Salvation Army
under which it soon became known,
and grew rapidly until it had, at the
beginning of 1905, 7,210 posts, I'M
der the charge of 1880 officers and
employees, with 45,339 local officers,
$4,000 brass bands men and about
$4,000 musicians. The army was Or
gained in forty-nine countries and
colonies, and from the international
headquarters in Victoria street, Lon
don, General Booth directed it's af-
fairs.
General Booth established "The
War Cry' as a weekly gazette of the
organization in 1880. The paper is
now published in more than twenty
languages and has total weekly cir
culation exceeding 100000. The
army maintains about 700 social re-
lief institutions in various parts of
the world, under the charge of near
ly 5000 officers and employees. About
1000 fallen women annually pass
through the 116 rescue homes, and,
according to the army's reports,
about IS per cent of these are per-
manently restored to lives of virtue.
There are 1872 slum settlements in
the slum districts of great cities. The
number of annual conversions in con-
nection with the spiritual work is re-
ported as averaging from 100000 to
100000 during the past ten years,
making a total of over 100000, of
whom not less than 100000 We're
converted from lives of drunkenness.
In 1890 General Booth published
volume entitled Darkest London"
containing a scheme for the enlight-
eminent and industrial support of the
lower classes. The work attracted
worldwide attention and was much
commented upon. In it's chief fea-
ture the scheme of General Booth re-
ceiyed the Endorsement Of many high
churchmen. During the latter years
of her life Queen Victorial made an
annual contribution to the Salvation
Army and it is understood that King
Edward has also given the organiza-
ton substantial encoura cement. In

They Pinched Mary Garden for Less
Than Thatr

In an article on bas, ball fans" in
the American Magazine, Hugh S. Full
lerton tells the following story:
"One of the quickest things l ever
heard was remark from a Washing
ton fan which upset Frank Isbell, the
veteran, completely. Isbell's head is
as bald as concrete pavement and US
ually he keeps his cap plastered tightly
on his head to shield his from the
gibes of crowds. This time he tried
to steal second and made desperate.
diving slide around and under the
baseman only to be called out He
was SO enraged that he ran at the
umpire, grasped his arm, argued and
raved and finally in sheer anger, jerked
off his cap, hurled il onto the ground
and jumped upon it. His bald head
glistened in the sunlight and the crowd
roared. Then, above the roar came a
voice:
Put on that cap. They pinched
Mary Garden here for less than that
