DEMOCRATS NOT POPULAR Discrimination Charged Against Section for letting in Rice From Porto Ttico and Sugar From Hawaiian Islands Free. "Hughes will carry New York State, sure. Not only that, but he will make serious Inroads In the vote of the Solid South,' which is not feeling near ly so solid as suposed," said R- R. Giltner, prominent Portland lawyer, who has just returned with Mrs. Gilt ner from a trip Kast and South on which they left Portland June 9. "In passing through the Southern states on our return trip home, I met many persons on the train from New Orleans, Birmingham, Montgomery and other points," continued Mr. Giltner. "They invariably expressed themselves as 'mad' at the Democrats. " 'What's the matter you're not a Republican, are you?' I would ask them. The answer would be, 'No, I'm a. Demo crat.' " 'Well, then, why are you 'mad' at the Democrats?' "They would reply almost without exception that the reason they were 'mad' at the Democrats and at Wilson was that the Democratic party had dis criminated against them in letting rice come in duty free from. Porto Rico ana cane sugar come In free from the Hawaiian Islands. Texu Regarded SM Possibility. "I even heard the sentiment freely expressed that Texas was likely to go for Hughes. This seemed almost un believable to me. However, I was as sured that It was entirely possible and all the men who spoke of the tariff discrimination, against the South also declared, that under no circumstances would thev vote for Wilson. Mr. Giltner Nspoke of the wonderful prosperity being experienced In the East. "In New Haven, Conn., where we went on June 17 and passed a week attend ing the graduating exercises at Yale University '35 years after my own graduation, the Winchester Arms Com pany Is employing 35.0OO persons in munitions making. People are busy everywhere through the East, and they all seem to have plenty of money. "One thing: that impressed me was the presence of many signboards along the railroad track between New Haven and New York, offering free land and other inducements for the establish ment of manufacturing plants. I thought the lesson was on that Port land might well take to heart." Traveler Causfct In Storm. On their return trip Mr. and Mrs Giltner came by way of the Sunset route. They had some exciting ex periences, for lust after leaving Bay Mlnette, Ala., they were caught in the srreat southern hurricane. "The track here for miles and miles Is built on a bottomless morass," eald Mr. Giltner. "Well, we had got about tt miles out from Bay Allaett when the wind attained a velocity of 100- miles an hour. It was terrifying. I had never realized before how a. railroad coach can shake when the wind blows hard enough. Our cars were rattling. I have never seen It rain so hard. On either side of the railroad track, there was a veritable sea. . "At 9 P. M. I noticed that the train was moving slowly and, going outside, I saw water pouring over the track. called the attention of the conductor to this, and he had the train back 10 miles to higher ground. When we got there the water had risen and was pouring over this- higher track. There was nothing for It but to continue . backing to Bay Mlnett, where we stayed 57 hours, until all the food in town was eaten up. One Section, of Train Wrecked. "Then, by a roundabout route, we were taken to Montgomery, Ala. "We learned that one section of our train had been ditched several miles out of Bar Minett on the same night when we fcaeked into town. It had run into a washout. "At Son IMego we saw the toy of the Thlrdi Oregon. Among many met there were Captain George White and Lieutenant Cicero P Hogran. of Troop A: George Do re, young Stone. J. B. Clark's son, the young brother of At torney Robert F. Magulre and others. They were all In the finest health. "We passed through a great many Eastern and Southern states and had a tine trip, out I want to say that no one of them can compare with Oregon. the paradise of the world."

Peoples "Whispering Smitn." Pickford "Common Ground." Sunset "Hell's Hinges. ' TTTHISPERING SMITH." portrayed V V by J. P. McGowan. is the prin cipal character in the big ten-reel film feature of that name. He Is a virile, fearless type of the true Amer ican, whose theory of life is to give every man a chance to show what is in him. There is nothing of the bully or braggart about him. He Is only a man who knows instinctively what is right. and he never falters in his steps to see that Justice is given where it is de served and crime punished on the same basis. AIcGowan has long been known for his ability to do big things in a big way. Money is never spared on the filming of a production under his mas ter hand. His ingenious brain has evolved numerous pieces of realism hitherto undreamed of. 'Whispering Smith." Insofar as the realism and atmosphere is concerned. Is characteristic of McGowan. This was demonstrated time and time again during the filming of the production. When it was found necessary in fol lowing the story to destroy a trestle and with It a string of boxcars. Mc Gowan saw to It that the trestle and cars were secured and. at the proper time, destroyed. x Another Ttaeda Barn Conquest. Has the day of romance fled? Has the day when knights were bold passed, nevermore to return? It has not. The experience of Theda Bara, famous Fox star, proves it. Did you ever hear of a plumber whose chief stock in trade was a nice, neat little crochet needle; who went to work in his idle hours if you will pardon the paradox and knitted beautiful pair of slippers, the daintiest imaginable, for a great motion picture actress because he admired her art? You probably have not. And you certainly never heard of case which had. in addition to the loregoing, tne ract that the man was so enamoured of the actress's art and his gift that he called up the star from his home In Atlanta, Georgia, to find out whether she received the slippers Intact and unharmed. And the long-distance telephone rates from the Georgia city to the William Fox studios in Fort Lee are precisely $5.25 for the first three min utes, which, translated, means $1.75 per minute, or three cents every time the watch ticks the passing second. Well, that s the latest yarn the Fox publicity department, the wonder of filmdom, presents anent Vampire "xneaa. Metghan Not a Driver. Although Thomas Melehan. the Laskv Company leading man appearing in Common Ground. owns an automo bile, he never dr1veJt himself. It happens that in "The Storm," a Para mount picture, some of the scenes re quire that he drive down a narrow mountain road. He was taken out on the level spots and rehearsed for some time, and when It was decided that he was sufficiently proficient, the car was started down the road with- Meighan at the helm. Half way down the hill the car got beyond control ran off the side of the road and into a gully from which it had to be pulled by block and tackle. Mr. Melgnan was given an other day's Instructions and thenman aged to make the trip without "doing anything except burn out a few brake bands. Another Hart Picture. Roles of the same character seem to run In cycles of eight for Walliam S. O.B.TX, now worxing in a western t-J a bad man. The last time he was seen In such a part was in "The Aryan.' Since that he has appeared as the fac tor in "The Primal Lure." the minister in "The Apostle of Vengeance," a Caa tlllan in the Aztec country in "The Captive God." a half-breed in the In dian story still unnamed, a reformed bandit in another picture recently made. and his last subject gives to him the role of a soldier of fortune. For the past week the company, which Includes Enid Markey as leading woman and Bob McKim as heavy, have been camp ing in Topanga Canyon in order to be there early and late to secure dawn and Eunset effects. Screen Gossip. "Damon and Pythias." the film fea ture at the Heilig, deals with the story upon which the Pythian lodge Is found ed. The production Is particularly ap propriate at this time, wli the Knights of Pythias in state and National con clave in Portland. C. S. Jensen and J. G. von Herberg, comprising tie firm of Jensen & von Herberg, owners of motion-picture en terprises In Seattle and Portland, were visitors here yesterday. Mr. Jensen left for Seattle, while Mr. von Herberg went on south for a month's trip in California. Screen Gossip. Here are a couple of first-prize bill board announcements: "Viola Dana, the Sweetest Girl on the Screen. No Chil dren Admitted." "Ruth Roland, a Matri monial Martyr in Five Hand-Colored Parts." Jule Power wears a ring that is sup posed to have once belonged to an Egyptian Princess. It Is thousands of years old and .Miss Power caa been of fered tremendous sums for it by col lectors of Egyptian relics, but she thinks a bit of jewelry prized so highly by others is just fes interesting to pos sess herself. Miss Powers wears the ring in several' of the scenes in "Gloria's Romance." the George Kleine motion picture novel featuring Billie Burke. Sure. Anita Stewart Is a soloist. The Methodiot Church at Bay Shore. Dong Island, was the scene of her latest vocal exploit. "Shell Forty-three" was not down at the Rialto Theater, New York because it E3 believed to be unneutral.

Incidentally "Civ ilization" is extracting $5 a seat from fans in Buenos Ayres. m m m It requires from four to six days for Max Figman and his wife, Lolita Rob ertson, to make a one-reel comedy at the Metro studios. Bad weather, where there are many exterior scenes to be made, enters largely into the time re quired for completing any picture. A. H. Van Buren, Archimedes Heck- man Van Buren, if you press him for his full name, known throughout the United States for his work in stock, has Joined the William Fox players and is now working in a new picture. Bobby Harron, Fine Arts, began as i messenger boy in the old Biograph studio when Griffith was the director. Econcmy began at home in those days. Lnd whenever possible the help around the studio were used In the pictures. A messenger boy was needed one day, so Bobby was called upon to play it. He continued playing at times until Grif fith discovered that he could really act, after whicii he retained him as an actcr and got another office boy. - What has become of the old desk which we discovered held the papers so important to the fortunes of the picture heroine? Mary Pickford, who Is making her appearance at the present time to millions of photoplay lovers In "Hulda From Holland," has got into the habit of talking Dutch, and real Dutch at thai, for when she was asked how old the little boy waJ who played with her, she said: "Twice yars alt."
