Council man Wills yesterday expressed the opinion ttiat the opening and improve ment of East Seventeenth street, between rilsmarck street and Midway, would be unprofitable until the Ladd farm should be opened and platted.

Proposed Five-Year Lls''S Fran chise I Ciller Issne That Will Be Decided. The Mllwaukie municipal election will be held the first Monday in De cember. At that time a successor will be elected to Mayor William Sclilndler. two Councllmen. a City Auditor. Treas urer and Marshal. Mayor Schindler is not expected to be a candidate for re-election. He made the announce ment two years ago. when he became an Independent candidate, mat lit- jj rmrlhali Philip Strelh, Who May Be Neat Mayor of Milwaukee. would retire at the end oi his term. Recently there has been some talk that he might again enter the field on the issues raised by the passing of the stock ordinance over his veto, and the defeat of the five-year lighting fran chise for the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. Friends of Councilman Phillip Streib, a well-known, progressive citizen, are insisting that the honor of the office of Mayor should be his. It Is also said that two years ago Mayor Schind ler declared that he would support Streib for Mayor in the coming Decem ber election. The Indications now are that Mr. Streib will be nominated and elected. There was some talk of Fred Leh man being a candidate; but he has said that he would not run against Streib. There are no issues involved In the election except the electric light franchise. Mayor Schindler favors granting the franchise, but the major ity oppose It. Nominations for the offices will be made ten days before the election. TO OUR CJJSTOMERS.

NOT ACTIVE FOR BRYAN Insurgents Assert That Hereafter Party Support Will Be Denied Those Who Have Gained Lucrative Public Office. One does not have to be much of an observer now to conclude that the once "unterrified" local Democracy could bet ter be called the "demoralized" Democ racy. All that is required to verify this is to listen. The ironic quips and heated denunciations coming out from the lips of the late enthusiastic Bryanltes are not hurled at the victorious party, but rather at the delinquents among them selves who are referred to in bitter scorn a the "nonpartisan lilies." When that seasoned and cautious rjo litical leader. State Secretary John B. Ryan, of the so-called Democratic party, stated after the election. "If those who were talking Bryan voted Bryan, the re sult would be different," there was vitriol in his words, and those on the Inside understood. The campaign Just closed In Oregon disclosed the patent fact that there were three kinds of Dem ocracy in evidence, the "lndifferents," or those who would vote their party ticket from sentiment or other wise, regardless of Issues, the "nonpartisans," or those who used the Democracy only as an asset at the polls for their own personal ambitions, and the "insurgents" or those who denounced the "nonpartisans" for their lack of courage and apparent in sincerity in refusing to declare their party faith r.nd stand up in the open for Bryan at, the National embod'ment of the principles of the real and genu ine Democracy. Officeholders Xot Active. Not one of the "nonpartisans" hold ing office elective or appointive at this time showed any activity in public in the support of Bryan. True, Mayor Lane did at Ihe eleventh hour preside at the meeting addressed by ex-Senator Gearin in a sort of a perfunctory man ner, but Lane's political future, as his past, would be a zero without Gearin, but where were Dick Montague, Tom Greene, Judge Van Zante, Tom Word, Isaac Swett, Fred V. Holman and the other luminaries of the Democracy dur ing the campaign? "The slaughter of Bryan will not be forgotten," declare the "Insurgents." "Hereafter nonpartisans will run as non partisans. If the Democracy Is not good enough for them, they are not good enough for the Democracy." Chairman George H. Thomas of the county com mittee will not talk for publication, but there is a glitter in George's eye and acid in his speech. "Please do not call me George," said he yesterday, "call me Mr. Thomas, the name 'George' hath no music to mine ears." The Irrepressible Kentucky Kllck has added gaiety to the situation. Secretary 9. C. Armitage announces a "nonparti san" banquet to be given under the auspices of the "Kllck." Mr. Armitage declares there is no politics In the affair. Banquet of Kentucky Kllck. "The purpose of the gathering is to expound the principles of the 'Klick,' " said Mr. Armitage yesterday. "We want the boys to become better ac quainted with our organisation; we will invite partisans and nonpaxtIsans alike. Up to the present most of the speeches to be delivered will be simply discursory. Our president, Mark O'Neill, has prom ised to speak on The Science of Non partlsanshlp, a Study In Metaphysics"; Tom Thornton has promised an address on 'Pussyfootism,' "the new element in successful politics. We will Invite all the leaders. Including the chairmen of all the committees of the local Demo cratic party, and expect a good time and an intelligent exposition of political pro cedure." "Of course I have been Invited," said Edward Killfeather yesterday, "but the menu must be hot buns and gunpowder tay: I will sit between Hennessy Murphy and Joe Malley, who has been invited, too. Hennessy Murphy will rise to the toast, 'The Effect of Solitude on Gum Shoes'; then Joe Malley will sing that beautiful funeral dirge, 'Fifty and Wan'; then I will give a cyclonic per oration of a K. K..' that is a 'Kerry Kick': then Essie Armitage will read a telegram from Willum J. Bryan thanking the 'nonpartisans' for their loyal sup port and predicting victory sometime; then we will all sing the doxology and adjourn, providing there's no back lip." WINES AND LIQUORS.

President acholfleld, of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, has appointed LAYS GREATER STRESS ON HIS MOTORING THAN ACTING Arthur Greene Finds Dustin Farnum Lovable Fellow, Who Modestly LayS No claim to Fame Except as Amateur Chauffeur. BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. DUSTIN FARNUM doesn't claim to be an actor and that's why I think better of him than almost any man who makes his living by playing. He pretends to have but one claim to fame and that Is on the ground of his ability as an amateur chauffeur. The star of "The quawman" doesn't know how to pose. He has none of the characteristics of the average actor,' for he's composed df real flesh and blood and doesn't act more than his role in this particular splendid drama demands. I've known "Dustv" Farnum more or less well for a number of years and entirely apart from his unmistakable genius as an actor he Is one of the most interesting and love able of men. As I've heretofore remarked, he claims only to know something about the mechanism of an automobile and thinks that If worst came to worst he could make a living right In this town as a chauffeur. Motoring is his one hobby and according to all accounts lie does that so well that he Is Justified in the claim that he knows all about the genus automobile. "Dusty" Farnum Is a fine, high-spirited man's man. who has by sheer merit reached a position well towards the top among American stars. He resorts to no stage trickery to attain his ends and if you knew him off the stage you would Immediately recognize the mannerisms that are accepted as stagecraft by the average theatergoer. Farnum is the most modest of men. If he Is an artist of International repute he doesn't obtrude the fact upon his friends. He Is just a great Tfig delightful boy. and the more you see of him the better you think of the profession of which he is such a worthy representative. He hasn't a thing to say about his plans for next season and so far as I know will go on playing Milton Royles' great drama for another year, although I doubt that he will. Regardless of his marked success up to this time, he is due for something better and as I insisted to him yesterday afternoon that he could play Hamlet, I again take pleasure in insisting that this dear big boy of the stage might without doing violence to the eternal verities aspire to portray the greatest roles in the drama, whether of Shakespeare or any other writer who has essayed to do playmaklng. The reason why I am sure of his future is that he is so sincerely human and genuine. He has brains and Imagination and the power of assuming every emotion. In addition, he is industrious and ambi tious and he cannot fail but go down In theatrical history as one of our great stars. If he stays "on the Job" as assidu ously as he has done for the past few years. I think anyone who has sen him in "The Virginian" and "The Squawman" will agree with me that Dustin Farnum is one of the biggest cards In the present day drama and that he has a great fu ture ahead of his 32 years. Also that In a short time we may expect even better things from this fine young gentleman who represents all that Is best on the American stage. r ? . ) I h r v : tr -v 1 ! riji j l( Siii ill i'-- I I i I' tp I f t' 1 i t I .
