SALEM. Or., Xov. 18. (Special.) In a letter prepared here today Gov ernor Olcott urges all district attor neys, sheriffs, mayors, chiefs of po lice and other peace officers in Ore Kon to co-operate with the executive offices in enforcing- the syndicalism law now in effect in this state, and bringing to quick justice all persons guilty of disloyal acts. "The nation has been forcibly and suddenly brought to realize, through the tragedy at Centralia, that the Industrial Workers of the World, the radicals, the agitators and any com ing under the category of "reds" are a menace to the present and future peace and welfare of our country, and all of Us truly American and taw-abidiner citizens," says the gov ernor's letter. "When American citizens, but a short time relieved from duty in the set vice of their country, are shot down in cold blood by men who are actuated only by a spirit of hatred for our most holy and most sacred Institutions, it Is tantamount to a declaration of war and in the minds of our citizenry nothing short of treason. I tin out Vigilance lrfd. "Our protection, lies in the machin ery of the law. The execution and processes of that machinery rest with the executive offices of this state and with you as arms of the gov ernmental power. Our first duty Is the protection of our country and of -our homes. To secure that protec tion requires the utmost vigilance and an unswerving- enforcement of our laws. The people of the state are depending upon us to root out the evils which are resulting from a propaganda too iong tolerated. j "I bespeak your tvearttest co-oper- ' ation in this as a duty of the highest patriotism. "I am taking the liberty of calling your attention to chapter 12 of the general laws of Oregon for 1919. this ; being an act defining criminal syn dicalism and sabotage and also to chapter 95 of the general laws of Oregon for 1911, being an act defining vagrancy. Governors Ask Reports - "In event any situation arises In -any .community of the state which may be considered beyond the power of local authorities to cope with I earnestly request that the executive office at Salem be notified forthwith. Every power of the state machinery of government necessary and avail able will be set in motion to the end that our laws are enforced and the Uvea and property of our citizens safeguarded. "I also would greatly appreciate re ports from any community of the 'state as to the possibility of trouble arising and as to the status of those who may be suspected of being aligned with those forces which have avowed ly started a refgn of terror in direct defiance of the laws of our state and nation." i- H f ? i 4 4 S Olive Tbomti, as ahe appears In "Prudence on Broadway, a picture 1.1 oh will Hhow for the first time in Portland at the Columbia theater begin ning; today and cloalns; Friday midnight.

ADMIRERS of Olive Thomas will welcome the presentation of this star In "Prudence on Broadway," which will open at the Columbia the ater today. Heralded by Harrison Fisher as the most beautiful ehow-girl in America, and first claiming popularity by her charming personality as a dancer in New York's "Midnight Follies," her role of a prim Quakeress offers un usual opportunities for the display of her beauty in the simple garb of Quaker folk. In' the interpretation of the role of Prudence, Mies Thomas has every op portunity to exercise her versatile talents, aa the .little Quakeress who invades Broadway. Amid the luxuri ous surroundings of New York's ex clusive society. Prudence makes her debut. Cleverly che realizes that her demure appearance and speech will attract much attention. She captivates the scions of wealth, but finds herself entangled in per plexing difficulties when Bhe unwit tingly loses high stakes at bridge. Prudence plunges into a desperate flirtation to unravel the web which threatens to menace her reputation. How, with the rare wit of a woman; none the less keen for her provincial training, she subdues a jaded New Yorker who threatens her innocence, and wins the hand of the catch of the season, furnishes a picture rich in contrasts and suspense situations.

BMlie Rhodes, with Cullen Landis. is featured, in a comedy which is scheduled for early release. The pic ture, entitled "Mary's Nightmare,'' which was produced under the direc tion of Scott Sidney, has never before been shown. It may be hard to believe that a man. living right-on Broadway, where no less than three big dramatic suc cesses are credited to his pen and who is generally supposed to keep in close touch with things theatrical had never seen a feature motion pic ture. However, it is a truth. Max Marcin is the playwright. And he has final ly witnessed a moving picture drama. no less a one than his own play ".Eyes of Youth," which was shown at the Hotel Astor last week.
