AND this manner. ARCADE HAS GOOD BILL. Dr. J. W. Belotin, himself blind, has Musicians Will Add Merriment Cecile Lofuts in "A Lady of Quality." The Arcade has a fine vaudeville bill for Sunday. Peques & Finene brought a serious indictment of our have been taken from the Pantages ' . ! circuit and ioaned to the local house treatment of the blind. His charge is ,for a number of -days. It is a singing and musical act and has proven quite that, while we give abundantly of our sympathy to the blind, we do not offer them the right kind of encour agement. The blind man, he said re cently at a conference of Jewish wo men's organizations in Chicago, al ways has been a slave. He has been a slave to sympathy which is a worse master than brutality. The blind man has been given sympathy but he has not been given opportunity. Dr. Belotin is right. We sympathize .with the unfortunate, but in the ar rogance of our possession of all our faculties we fail to understand that his limited perceptions in one direc tion may mean more acute perceptions in others. Blind men have done great work in the world. Mr. Belotin him self is an excellent example of the successful blind physician; Senator Gore Is aitt example of the blind man at a successful statesman. While all blind men may not have the genius of a Welton, most of them are able, if given the opportunity, to earn a good living and feel themselves of some use in the world. You see a blind man, says Dr. Belo tin, and want to give him a penny. You don't think of giving him a chance to work. Treat him as you do others. Praise him for hisvirtues, censure him for his faults. . Give the blind with ability an opportunity to exercise their ability. .The same applies to the deaf man, to most cripples and to many other defectives of all sorts. The world has yet to learn thoroughly, that the greatest charity is aid to selfJhelp. It is learning the lesson but the truth is prevailing slowly. It will not have reached its proper development until a sensation on tne coast, lney are clever without a doubt and come to the city weli recommended. On Mon day and Tuesday Cecile Lofuts one of the Famous Player company one of pear in "A Lacy of Quality." i Miss Lofuts has been on the stage for man" years and is considered one of the most versatile actresses on the 'boards. Next to Miss Pickford she is one of the highest paid performers and has been a tremendous drawing card in Portland and other coast cities. The play,, is full of fine scenerv and finish ed acting and cannot fail to please an exacting audience. Prices for this film in all other Oregon cities is 15 and 25 cents. The price for La Grande's Arcade Remains 10c. Adv. Bids Wanted. Bids will be received Monday at noon, April 20 for purchase and re moval of residence at 1902 Second street. Buyer must remove it. W.
