But to return to Jackson's mali
cious measure.' Ho and some Port
land attorney huve decided that the
legal, advertising rule, which pro
vides Unit publishers shall not re.
coivo a greater sum than five cents
tier line, is altogether too high
to suit his Imperial taste. He there
fore has prepared an Initiative pe
tition and wants tho votors of Ore
gon to lower the rate, , in accord
ance with his wishes.
This is Millionaire Jackson'B way
of "getting even" with tho press
of Oregon. He has been unable to
dictate to the thinking editors of
the sUte who have steudlly refused,
io be whipped Into line to support
Jackson's single tax and other
Campaigns waged by tho Journal.
He has chosen the . psychological
time to carry out his nofurlous plan
a time when probably ninety per
cent or the papers of the state are
struggling to keep tho wolf from
the door, that they may "carry

helping Uncle Sum's war uqtlvities.

"TO HELL WITH THE KAISER," i
'. WEDNESDAY-AND THURSDAY
! "To Hell With the Kaiser!" This
exclamation has been said, 'either si
ietrtry or aloud, by patriotic Ameri
cans and lovers of decency every;
where! Everyone agrees that the rnonr
step-of-Europe is "not fit to live any
where else!
But In this multiple-reel Screen
Classics, Inc. feature the expression
is taken literally. The Berlin beast
is actually shbwn ln the "hot place."
How he gets there, and what becomes
of htm after his arrival, form an in
teresting part of this wonderful pic
ture. - . ',-
' It is only a part, however. Mingled
with events now historical are tender
romance and vivid drama. ' A family
of Americans living in Europe are
among the leading characters, and arc
instrumental in bringing about the
tremendous denouement. Alice Mon
roe demands dire penalty for the ate
that overtakes her little sister at the
hands of the dastardly Crown Prince.
' "To Hell With the Kaiser" is the
greatest arraignment of Prussianism
and the Hohenzollerns ever made. It
is America's challenge to bonstiality
and "frightfulness." The picture will
be shown at the Arcade next Wednes
day and Thursday.
