Since tho Commercial club
lias tnkon up tho matter of pub
lic parks and rocoinniended the
purclmsu of sites therefor, it
will now be un to tho city coun
cil to brintr tho matter of votinir
bonds for purchase thereof be
fore tho people at a special elec
tion. It is certain that the parks
arc badly needed. Wo shall have
more to say concerning mime la
ter on.
Republican newspapers thru
out tho country are raising quite
a hulialmloo because becrulary
Bryan has announced that he
will uivo a few lectures to aug
ment tho salary he receives as
Secretary of Statu. The charge
is not made that the oliico de
mauds tho personal attention of
tho Secretary all the year

well known that this is not the
case. Nor is it claimed that tho
salary ho receives is sulliciont to
pay the actual expenses of enter
tainmcnt that tho Secretary is
almost forced to k
mats and others. I
nity of the olllce that is injured.
say his denouncers, and the fact
is set forth that such a course
is unprecedented. The fact of
tho matter is that Mr. Hryan is
different from many other oil)
cinls. Ho is over active and on
orotic, and refuses to become
an ollicial drone. It is certain
that tho duties of his olllce will
not bo iiOKlecled if he decides to
spend Ins unoccupied time in
delivering lectures. And his lec
tures are worth while, and it is
a urcat pleasure to listen to
them. Why should Mryan be
muzzled because he is Secretary
of State? Hryan is scrupulously
honest, were ho not it wouli
1 1
not no necessary 10 lecture in
order to meet his expenditures.
It is true that he knew what the
salary was before he accepted
the olllce. nut he did not know
that ho would bo denied the priv
ilege or auirmentinK it in a mint
imato way if he so desired. The
trouble is that many people lind
that Mr. Hryan is not aristocrat
ic oiioukIi to suit them. Ho be
lieves in work and cares not for
fuss and feathers and pomp and
aristocracy. He is a man com

The St. Johns Commercial club
held an interesting meeting
Wednesday evening. Owing to
tho steel bridge fire President
Pennell was detained in Port
land later than usual, and the
meeting started at n later hour
than is the custom. The com
mitteeeon alternate railway ser
vice reported satisfactory pro
gross. Chairman of the coni"
mitlee on parks, D. C. Lewis,
recommended the purchase of
throe acres of land near tho
Stearns residence west of Wil
latnette river and overlooking
the mime, three acres of land on
Buchanan street, three or more
acres of tho Caplos tract on
Dawson street, and one block of
ground near Fessenden and Ed
ison streets, costing in all about
SJiO.OOO. It was decided to re-

bt. Johns minister a rep y to
action of the city council in per
muting sKatmg rink to run on
tho Lord's Day. commonly called
annuay: ljie pastors ot tho va
rious churches of St. Johns
whoso congregations petitioned
the city council to not normlt
tho skating rink to run on Sun-
day still maintain that their
viows of the question regarding
the council's authority to close
tho rink was correct, and fur
ther, that thoso backing the ar
ticle in tho St. Johns Review of
Juno 20th, wherein tho refer
ence was made that tho state
ments of certain ministers was
"unjust and unmerited," need
a little information and further
enlightenment. As rensonablo
men wo held and yet believe that
there are certain institutions ami
amusements, that a city council
can license and regulate with no
advice from the stato or county.
To bo sure such vocations as
keeping saloon has many restric
tions otherwiso than those laid
upon it by a city council. A sa
loon cannot open up in an opon
field outside of an incorporated
city without certain license restrictions-
not even on ono's1
own personal property. A skat
ing rink is governed far differ
ently. They run by individual
consent outsule of city limits.

Iliinyans f ilrlm.t Progress, will be seen at the Multnomah Theatre to
day ami tomorrow. Placing this ureal work before the world in the
form of moving piclmcs was no mean undertaking. It marks a new
epoch in moving picture presentation. It is one of the most difficult
feats in ciiiciiutntrnipliy attempted. Everything in connection with
this production is in perfect harmony. The acting is particularly bril
limit. The younger Salvia!, now the most famous member of that most
talented family, 'ippears as Christian, Ivleauor Sernanti as Christiana and
Almco Giovanni us John Jiunyan, in the prologue.
I'reik'fick Htulson a narrator of well known ability, tleltvers n most
graphic and interesting discriptive lecture. Special music incidental
to tne production will he played by rrances Kay. These plcturas were
shown at the Hellig Theatre last May for one week to

The Best Light
At The Lowest Cost
ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large
or small, thereby furnishing any required
amount of light. Furthermore, electric lamps
can be located in anyplace, thus affording any
. desired distribution of light.
No other iamps possess these qualifications, 'there
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are
rapidly replacing all others in modern establishments.
