out a circular calling attention to the
pystem employed by the swindlers in
question. Recently an unusually larjte
number of such cases has occured. Their
method Is to correspond with credulous
people, claiming to have discovered a
minor heir and a valuable estate re
quiring a guardian. After considerable
correspondence, the necessity of remitting
money to negotiate matters is impressed
upon the victim. Upon the degree, with
which the person accedes to the request
Is the plan successful.
Street Openiho Delated. 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. He says that
the street would not accommodate enough
people to warrant the expense, but as
won as the Ladd farm Is opened. Best
Seventeenth street should be extended

that the I-add farm will be platted next

another street south to Sellwood Is be

be elected to Mayor William Sclilndler.

re-election. He made the announce

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.

Dyed-in-the-Wool Democrats
Blame "Nonpartisans."
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

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.
