diction to make an inquiry into the shoot
ing. He said the councilmen are al! re
sponsible for the conduct of each and
every policeman. The mayor said the in
~vestigation should not be carried to the
point of trying to run down the guilty
ones, being intended merely for the pur-
pose of generating the police side of the
affair. if eXonration be due. He said
his only desire from the committee is that
it investigate the matter to see whether
the police are or are not to blame.

feeding their mOuats.

Or. Mccash's Address.

DIR. |. N. McCash, secretary Ameri-
can Christian missionary societies,
delivered an excellent address on
America Democratizing the World,
DR.. McCash has been engaged in this
work for some time, having formerly
been associated in the work of the
ministry in Iowa
DR.. McCash pointed out that Amer
lea should first turn her attention to
the different parts of the United
States in an endeayor to help condi-
/, lions here. He said America must
first teach the foreigners on her own
shores the christian faith if the best
results are desired SO the foreigner
may return to his country and impart
| his knowledge to his own people. He
| said as man moves, he moves his
horizon and puts it in touch with 9TH
i ers
j DR.. McCash pointed out that the
/ foreign tribes consisting of Japanese,
/ Chinese and Hindoos on the Pacific
coast still believed in and worshiped
idols. Not only We're they %orshipping
idols, but they were teaching Amer
leans to do likewise. He told of one
temple in San Francisco where at one
meeting twenty-five American women
were seen in communion with the
idols. On the Pacific coast Dr. Nc
Cash said there erists seyenty-four
temples In which the worship of idols
lis carried on today.
DIR. McCash's stress was laid on
tseoding educated foreigners back
home to teach their own people. He
admonished that America should not
go onward, never realizing the dan.
ger in our country but she should
wake up to the realization that the
government of a country or people is
the reflection of the nations life.
He pointed out that the process OF
Americanizing the whole world was
going on steadily and should be car
ried on to the fullest extent in a
christian way.

CLUB HOLDS ITS
FIRST FALL MEETING

The first fall meeting of the Com
mercial club after the passing of the
hot season. held in the club rooms
Monday evening, was an enthusiastic
one. About rs of the city's business
men were present and various topics
came up for discussion. One of the
slogans for the organization next year
will be: Better water front facili-
ties" An effort will be made to have
government dredge brought here in
order to deepen the mouth of the Hood
river and probably to make deep
water channel from the mid stream OF
the Columbia to an accessible point
near the business district of the city.
At the present tine. during the low
water stage, the ferry and boat land
ings are really remote places, and IL
takes a bold soul to reach them by
travelling over the bottom lands Of the
| Columbia and over the shifting sands.
Attention was also called to the fact
that the people of Underwood were
greatly annoyed by the heap of garbage
that eonfronts their eyes and nostrils
every time they make a trip to this
city. IL was recently in the Under
wood district" says s. A. Mitchell, -
and as every one else that passes that
way, | noticed the garbage heap.
would consider il a personal insult If
were the people of Underwood and had
to pass by that stencil every time
came to this city.
The clubs attention was called tc
the fact that the city council was now
