POLITICAL BENCH F0UGH
S udgc McGinn Speaks at Library for
Xon-Partisan Judiciary.
The non-partisan Judiciary bill was
the subject of an address by Judge Mc
Gicin in the Central Library Saturday
night.
"If I were to ask every man I meet
on the streets to name all the Judge
on the supreme bench of Oregon, prob
ably not one In 20 could answer cor
rectly," commenced Judge McGinn. "Yet
these men decide all important ques
tions relating to the public and - its
welfare.
x"At present life, liberty, happiness
and property rights are decided by th
party Instead of the man. The voter
puts his name opposite the name of his
party and knows little or nothing of
the man he votes for. -He takes an In
terest In the) Governor, Senator, Con-
gressman or Sheriff, and overlook the
man with whom he has to deal directly
or Indirectly every day the man is in
office.
"The non-partisan bill. If carried, will
elect the man and not the party. This
bill will allow all, from Supreme Court
Justices to Justices of the Peace, to have
their names placed upon the ballot at
the general election if they - get V- per
cent of the voters' names on their-petitions
60 days before the election.
- A corporation attorney has said that
no self-respecting man would nominate
himself. Aren't the men running for
office at present respectable? I tell
you. and I know whereof I speak and

bench tor fear of incurring his dislike

Oshier's method of taming a husband
and putting him back into the straight

is only her . stage husband, Robert
Gleckler, and an ornerler, more
selfish gay devil never pranced through
three acts of reformation., x or, ol
course, the wife does reform him, else
there would be no profit In watching

There's Just enough of the get-even

under dog. In the Instance of the Baker
play can't even be called names, for
she's a perfectly nice soclety-lovlng
wife, whose only fault Is that she has
allowed her sport-loving husband to
drift away from her. The inevitable
other woman happens along, and as is
Invariable with the "other woman,"
this one offers sympathy, pal 8 hip and
keen Interest in his pleasure pur

Auto Mishap Revealing.
An automobile accident lands the

papers at the same time and the hus

offender and so she sweetly talks It
over . with him, pacifies the two fam
ilies, explains to friends, shoos away
the reporters and finally springs her
great, coup by Inviting the affinity to
grace a week-end house party.
It Is a clever idea and the wife Is re
warded best when it turns out that not
only her husband, but her young broth
er and her brother-in-law and her for
mer suitor are all old flames of the
sympathetic widow.
The husband is taught his lesson rap-
Idly, since It Is merely a matter of hav
ing his eyes opened to the genuine
worth of his wife and the "sauce for
the goose" which she serves by pre
tending to revive and encourage an af
fection from her old swain.
The reformation is brought about
naturally and so sincerely that It takes
on an added value in the wife's eyes.
It is a big role, that of the all-wise,
all-seeing, forgiving and forgetting
wife, and Miss Oshier plays it' with de
lightful charm. Miss Oshier plays no
wronged wife, she makes her a wife
triumphant, reveling in the discomfit
ure of her rival, and yet always on
guard.
Portrayal Is Artistic.
There's a difference in being merely
feminine or womanly. Miss Oshier por
trays womanliness in the role of the
wife. In that she makes her big and
fine and honorable, and she makes her
feminine to. the point of unsheathing
her catty claws at unexpected moments
and throwing a delicious double mean

words.

Partitioning" of Re pub lie Among Pow
ers .Arte War Held Probable. Re
gardless of Which Sldo Wins.
That' China faces tho disruption of
her nationality, the 'almost certain ag
gresslons of foreign powers, as the re
suit of the European war. Is the op In
ion of Dr. Kenneth Scott Latourette, of
Reed College, as expressed In a lecture
at the Church of Our Father last night
on "China and the Present World
Crisis."
Many of the provinces of China may
face similar fates to those of Poland
and Finland, he said. If the powers
have their way at the conclusion of
the war. China's hope may lay In the
possible crippling of the nations in
volved beyond desire for aggression,
he declared.
In opening his talk, the speaker first
sketched the wonderful history of
China and the causes which led up to
the recent revolution. He pointed out
the marvelous culture that gave China
high rank in literary composition, in
vention, architecture, painting, eta.
and to its former contempt of the out
side world that resulted In a lack of
stimulus to new Ideas and new ideals
of civilization. It is only within the
last few years that China has realized
the need of a strong centralized gov
ernment to prevent foreign powers
from partitioning her, he said, and It
Is this which has led to tho rapid
events of the past few years. China
faces a tremendous task and the out
look Is black for her. said the speaker.
China is in danger of failure in de
velopment through lack ' of money. If
the money markets of the world are
tied up by the war, was a point em
phasized by Dr. Latourette, who pic
tured disastrous counter revolutions,
if power cannot be maintained by the
party now In the seat of government.
Another thing, he said was that in the
event of a German triumph, the cause
of civilization would be set back 15
years In China for the reason that
English Is the commercial language
taught and. spoken there now.
Most Important of all. the speaker
said, that even if Japan gave up Klau
Chau. as she has declared she would.
she would demand other compensation
in- the way of commercial grants, and
If Germany won out, this Nation would
demand compensation for the viola
tion of neutrality In China by the Jap
anese. To preserve the balance of
power In China- other nations would
demand portions of territory and China
would soon be without hope of a cen
tralized national government.

There are many merits to the blend

characterized by good, swift action and
excellent photography.
The Tlcket-of-Leave Man" headlines

It Is cleverly worked out In motion
pictures and is most Interesting.
The best picture on tho bill Is "Midst
Woodland Shadows," a Vltagraph offer
ing, with Anita Stewart and Earl Will
iams In the leading roles. The work
of Miss Stewart, who Is one of the most
beautiful women In motion pictures. Is
unusual In this picture. She is a
woodland sprite, a veritable little whirl
wind of the woods. Tho city man meets
her, loves her and marries her In spite
of the opposition of his friends.
The scenes, all taken In the open, are
marvellously beautiful.

STORY
HAFFIilXCJ
'Mystery ot Edwin Drood" at Co
lumbia la Perfect Film.
Tom Terrls, eminent English char
acter actor, with his big company of
Dickens' players, appeared on the Co
lumbia films yesterday In "The Mys
tery of Edwin Drood," a five-act vis
ualisation of Dickens' unfinished mys
tery story. Terrls has worked out the
mystery according to his own ideas,
and It proves a thrilling play. The
accuracy of the presentation Is such
that one Is made to feel sure that Mr.
Terrls Is Just about correct In his In
terpretation of the solution of the
story.
The story concerns the mysterious
disappearance of Edwin ..Drood, who
has two rivals for the hand of a young
woman. One of the rivals lays sus
picion on the other for the murder of
the young man, but Terris has so de
veloped the story that Drood never has
been murdered, but has adopted a dis
guise in the character of a mysterious
stranger named Datchery, to prevent
himself being made the victim of foul
play. A peculiar woman In black adds
to the mystery.
Every lover of Dickens will be de
lighted with this offering which will
remain at the Columbia today and to
morrow.
ROLLIOKIXG FUX AT SUNSET
Keystone Comedy With All-Star Cast
Is Big Feature.
A side-splitting Keystone farce called
Gentlemen of Nerve." featuring the
entire Keystone galaxy of stars, heads
the programme until Wednesday at the
Sunset Theater.
The plot, which is particularly Key-
stonlan" in character, furnishes Mabel
Normand and Charles Chaplin anlimlt
ed opportunity to display their great
talent for pantomime.
"The Golden Goose," a two-reel ro
mance, is bright and above the average
In strength of plot. Little Thelma Sal
ter, the 6-year-old star of tho Bronco
Company, has the leading role.
The rescue of Stef ansson a Arctic ex
ploring party with unusual Far North
pictures. Is the feature of the Mutual
Weekly, which also shows late war pic
tures.
"The Domon of the Ralls, a single-
reel melodrama, shows a near-train
wreck which is as exciting as a real
wreck. . -
The Tramp Quartet continues to win
Its usual encores.
"False Pride," a single-reel drama of
unusual merit, concludes the pro
gramme.
STAR FEATURES BIG FAVORITE
Mary Fuller in "The Witch. Girl" Is
Alluring Actress.
Beautiful Mary Fuller's first appear
ance in a Universal picture is in "The
Witch Girl," now being shown at the
Star Theater.
The role is new to this versatile little
dark-eyed girl, and she portrays it ad
mirably. She is a little witch of the
forest,, wild, untrained, adorable. The
trials of the man who tries to tame her
are many, and failure almost confronts
him when the little girl capitulates.
Miss Fuller is wonderful In the Inter.
pretatlon of the title role, and many
exclamations tf delight were heard at
the Star yesterday. The picture was
applauded frequently.
"Trey o' Hearts" Is almost finished.
The hero and heroine miraculously es
cape death In the 13th installment, and
leave the villains again in the lurch.
A comedy, "When Bess Got In Bad.'
and the Animated Weekly showing-re.
cent war pictures, complete the bill.
FAMOUS SOXG IS PICTURED
"Home Sweet Home" at National Is
Marvelous Production.
A song immortalized in the hearts
and minds of every man and woman
of almost every nation Is "Home, Sweet
Home, written by John Howard Payne,
The song has been visualized in motion
pictures and is featured at the National
Theater. Better photography than that
In "Home, Sweet Home" has not been
seen in Portland. The light and shade
effects are marvelous.
There Is a clinging pathos to the
story. Evil Is turned to good, greed is
transformed Into charity and love ap
pears where hate has been. The pro
logue deals with the life of Payne, a
rolling stone and a derelict, who finally
dies in a strange land. His song dedi
cated In his own heart to the mother
and sweetheart In his vine-clad home,
still lives, a fitting meraorlaf to his
genius.
The picture is allegorical in the end
and depicts the power of the spirit of
good over the spirit of evil.
An animated cartoon. "An Inter
