In search of a new route for the Mount Hood Railway Into the heart of the city, members of the street committee of the Council, several Inter ested clUxens and promoters of the road took an automobile ride through the eastern part of Portland yester day morning, but no change In the route was decided upon. A , further consideration of the proposed route change will be had at the regular meeting of the street committee next Friday afternoon. The proposed route along Halsey and Weldler streets has met with much opposition from Interested property owners. It has been suggested that an effort be made to allow the road to operate down Broadway along the line of tbe Portland Railway, Light St Tower Company, but there Is no law that ran force the traction com pany to permit another line to run over Ita tracks. The application of the Mount Hood road for a franchise has been In the handa of the Coun cil for several weeks. SAFE TRAFFIC LAW IS AIM Agitation by Carmen Likely to Prompt Better Vehicle Ordinance. It Is believed steps taken by streetcar men to have the city pass laws to keep vehicles out of danger from streetcars probably will cause the drawing of a down-to-dnte traffic ordinance, similar to laws In effect In the larger cities or the EaaL and those which are said to prevent many accidents In Los An geles and San Francisco. Among the more Important features of such an ordinance are special provisions for the congested districts of the city, where ewasxms and automobiles can bo left for only a limited time In one place, and where all vehicles must keep to the right of the street, unless it Is neces sary to cross the thoroughfare. The carmen have outlined a number of auKKeatlons for regulntlng vehicles, but have failed to ask any change In the laws which will make the control of streetcars more restricted.

Madame Kopetzky. the prima donna with "The Chocolate Soldier" at the Hellig this week, thinks American wo men use too much slang. "And It's such an easy matter, this falling Into the habit of using Incor rect English." she said yesterday. "It Is most deplorable, but there seems to be no remedy; nor In fact Is one de sired, apparently, for each year the use of picturesque and Idiomatic English grows apace. "I grant you." she smiled roguishly,' "that the American slang Is most ex pressive, and It simply grows on one. re " ""X-.; ! , " i , .rti ' -' i 'r ' Madame Kopetxky, Prima Donaa Wit "The Chocolate Soldier," Who Observes That American Womea lae slang Toe Freely. but I should count It a great disaster It It ever fastened its clutches upon me." Madame speaks beautifully. In a clear, well modulated voice, and her exquisite English, devoid of any ac cent, is a positive delight to hear. In view of this fact, it Is Interesting to learn that the songstress Is Bohemian, with Prague as her birthplace. "I waa only S when I came over here," she continued. "I learned Eng lish rapidly, but until I was 14 years old my accent waa so pronouncedly Teuton that my schoolmates called me 'Dutchy. Dutchy Sauer Kraut.' I be lieve that any foreigner who learns the English language finds for him self a better and larger choice of words, and has for that reason a more comprehensive vocabulary. When I learned Italian I took the same par ticular pains to ue It In only Its highest and purest form. Just as I took only nne tnlngs out of the English I've learned. I leave the slang and doubt ful phrases for others. "As a result. I speak Italian quite as fluently aa English, and both aa read ily as my mother tongue. Several years ago In Italy I appeared with a company, among which 1 was the only non-Italian. Imagine, then, my surprised de light to read in the papers an ac count of 'a young Italian actress, Anna Kopetzky.' Was not that amusing?" Madame Kopetzky believes women should smoke if they care to. "Personally, I don't care for smok ing." she said, "but I have lived the greater part of my life among women who do It, In London all the society women smoke. Once I sat In a huge dining-room filled with guests and I was tho only woman not smoking. I felt, aa they eyed me commiseratlngly, that each was saying to herself, 'Poor thing, she doesn't smoke because it makes her 111.' And I wished I could have told them that It didn't make me 111. that. I had tried smoking once, and when I found I didn't care for it that there was nothing to It either one way or another, I very easily went without It. I suppose. If I cared to smoke I would do so. Tbe great objectionable thing about It Is this smoking by women In public places, dining-rooms. somo theaters, cafes and hotels. If women must smoke. I believe It should be done In privacy, where they attract no attention and let them do It in shirt waists and short skirts. This smok ing in evening dress and jewels makes of It a vice rather than the sedative and tonlo most women smokers assume the habit to be." Madame Kopetzky said she found Portland audiences very responsive. "I love to sing when they are so de lightfully cordial." she Bald. "They do not make a lot of big noises and howl, but they Just sit back and titter quietly. We hear It over the footlights and it makes us glad." Last night's was the 140th perform ance of "The Chocolate Soldier" since the season opened In early September. Madame Kopetzky never has sung at any matinees of the production, an understudy going on In these instances. But on Saturday afternoon In response to many requests that have come to Mr. Heillg she will break her rule and will sing the role of Nadlne. Northwestern President Coming. A.

Those who braved the storm and vis ited the picture palaces of the People's Amusement Company were repaid. The Star Theater has on exhibition Its best bill. The Arcade has a real feature; the Oh Joy's show was clever, clean and entertaining; the Odeon's picturesque and strong, while at the Tlvoll the same tremendous biograph as was run at the Star was the feature. "His Trust." biograph's latest and most pretentious picture, is sure to be talked about and it Is worthy of ex tended criticism. Tho scene is laid on a Southern plantation during the Civil War. The brave Confederate called to the front leaves his fair wife and babe "in trust" to a lusty and faithful negro, who swears eternal ildellty. The mas ter meets death after the most realis tic skirmish and battle ever depicted In a photoplay. The imagination is filled with every possible detail of ac tual war. A rude soldier bearing the dead soldier's sword brings home the awful tidings, common but not robbed of Its tragic intensity. Upon the very heels of this the house is sacked and the picture shows the actual burning of this Southern mansion and tha rescue of the girl by the faithful and unselfish black. With no roof overhead, the proud Southern woman must needs take shelter In the rude hut of the negro down In negro quarters, and the cur tain falls on the darkey lying down to sleep guarding his mistress and her babe, with his body across the threshold of the cabin. Every part In the silent drama Is played by a master and every detail Is there with unusual perfec tion. The sequel to this, "His Trust Fulfilled." will be the feature at the Star and Tlvoll next Sunday. CAT SHOW OPENS TODAY Many Outside Entries Attest Inter est Being Shown. Interest In the cat show which will open at Meier 8c Frank's store today is so wide that entries have been made from Denver. Victoria, B.

They fol lowed his trail from there toward his Bulletin No. If the laws are bad there can be no prosperity; capital will not invest where the laws are so framed as to imperil invest ments; and labor cannot find employment where business and property are not safe under the law. Instead of peace and con tentment, there will be hunger and misery, where the laws are uncertain and unfair. Oregon has been enjoying a most prosperous era. It has had the good fortune to attract capital iu vast sums to aid its development. Whether this shall continue is for the people to decide. For under the present system of law-making there is great danger that the tendency toward enactment of foolish and ill-considered laws, proposed by visionaries and irre sponsible agitators, will effectually drive capital out of the state by making its investment here unprofitable. The interests of labor and capital are identical in this mat ter, and there is no surer way to restore the soup-kitchen and the receiver than to make it unprofitable to carry on business in the state. Stability has been secured in the states of the Union by written constitutions, which, under the old method, yield slowly to change by amendment. The proud record of growth and de velopment in our country is due in no small degree to the sense of security under the constitution that has made it possible to go forward with great commercial enterprises guaranteed and safeguarded against confiscation. But now in Oregon our con stitution may be amended by a minority of the voters at any election, and indeed has been repeatedly so amended since the new system has been in use. These changes are vital and radic ally alter the fundamental law, so that security becomes danger, and confidence yields to fear. Who prepares these amendments to the constitution and laws? Does anyone know what they are until they have been actnally filed and made ready to be printed upon the ballot? Is there any public meeting at which the measures are carefully considered, dispassionately discussed and anxiously scrutinized word by word and sentence by sentence and there need deter mined? No, the voter is not consulted beforehand. Interested and oftentimes irresponsible men turn out these radical proposals in final form and the voter is expected to accept or reject the whole complex and confusing pronouncement and to vote yes or no upon it, without opportunity for amendment. Nay, most voters must vote upon it without familiarity with its contents, being guided by the title alone, as it appears on the ballot. The very title is often misleading, and many a man votes for or against a principle which he fancies is expressed by the title "without knowing that he is voting directly contrary to his con victions. At the last election the voters cast their votes upon 32 different measures printed by short title upon the election bal lot. Many of these measures were proposed amendments to the constitution. If Oregon is to maintain its dignity and prosperity it must take steps to secure more deliberation in its popular exer cise of the law-making power. Unless the citizens awake to the dangers of wholesale and hasty legislation, and curtail and limit the laws thus voted upon, it takes no prophet to foretell the inevitable disaster that is at hand. Earnest men, patriotic men, must come forward quickly and take counsel how to remedy the evil that menaces the state. A few men, some of them impractical visionaries, some egotis tical and all-wise bone-heads, some scheming demagogues, are turning out laws like a Hindu grinds out prayers with hi3 prayer wheel. They must be shorn of this power before it is too late, for it is easier to min the prosperity of the state than to force capital to invest where the laws are unstable and unjust.
