l.urgc Audience Hears Wilson Asi
tailed for Bucking and l'illing
on Question of Suffrage
Dealing Declared Vnfair.
OREGON CITY. Or., Oct. 19. (Spe
cial.) "The women of the "West hold
political power and they are going to
ti-se it for justice," declared Mrs. Wil
liam Kent, wife of a Democratic Rep
resentative from tne Northern Cali
fornia district, to an audience of Ore-
eon city men and women tonifrht.
"We are 'accused of political trickery.
out as a matter of fact we are the only
idealists in this National camnaism. We
liave been charged with being militant
suffragists, but we are gathering votes.
not DricKDats. After watching and
-working with a Democratic President
four years we are firmly convinced that
President Wilson is against us, as he
lias refused to help us in the only man
ner that is worth while, namely in sup
port of the Federal amendment."
Hushes' Views Compared.
Mrs. Kent said that 18.000,000 women
are without the ballot because of the
refusal of the Democrats to give them
the opportunity to get Federal legisla
tion, and that Mr. Hughes has openly
declared that the Federal amendment
was the statesmanlike way to go about
Jt.
Mrs. Kent was frequently interrupted
toy applause. She talked for just an
liour conversationally, and pleaded her
cause calmly and logically. She was in
troduced by E. E. Brodie, chairman of
the Repubican County Central Committee.-
Following are some of the principal
points made:
The President has attempted to de
fend his opposition to the National
suffrage amendment in a number of
statements on the subject. Each con
tradicted the other and was contra
dicted by the rest of his record. He
lias not dealt fairly and, squarely with
this issue.
Women's Objects Secondary.
First He was 00 busy with Admin
istration measures to assist
euffrage.
woman
Second He was "not an individual,"
lie was the "spokesman of his party,"
and could not urge legislation which
was not in his platform. Three days
after thi$ statement he forced through
congress legislation on the Panama
Canal tolls, which directly contradicted
b. provision or tne party platform.
Third Suffrage was a matter for
the Btates to decide. The Constitution
of the United States provides for
Amendment in the method pursued, by
me woman's party. Congress haa
power to pass . a Federal suffrage
amendment. The negro man was en
fanchised by a Federal amendment.
Fourth His was a "passion" for
"local self-government."
Fifth Three-fourths of the states
ought not to force it on the other one
fourth. State Plan Advocated.
Sixth Women should first win 38
states separately; then they could force
It on the remaining twelve.
Seventh He was "tied to a convic
tion" which he had had all his life
that suffrage ought to be brought
about state by state.
KtghLil To a group of womeli voters
he said, he had "an open mind" and
would confer with his party colleagues
on tnis matter.
Ninth lie had not conferred with
his party colleagues; his own mind was
still convinced that suffrage should be
"won state by state.
Tenth After the plank in the 1916
Democratic platform he could not fa
vor a Federal suffrage amendment.
President Wilson -wrote the plank him
self. Now he says the plank keeps
him from helping suffrage.
Eleventh He would not urge the
House judiciary committee to allow a
vote on suffrage; he did not think he
should interfere with the action of a
committee of Congress. Thi3 is con
tradicted by the President's every-day
practice.
State's RlKhts Excnse Withdrawn.
Twelfth He was not opposed to the
Federal suffrage amendment on ac
count of states' rights; but on account
of the negro problem in the Sputh. In
the 15 Southern states there are 2.000,
000 more white females than negro
men. women and children put together.
Thirteenth Women will not vote in
November on this issue (freedom for
women), it would not be intelligent.
Tet speaking of Mexican men he said,
"I have an almost reckless enthusiasm
for human liberty."
Fourteenth He was "Impatient"
about discussions of suffrage methods.
"I will fight with you." "The tide is
risinsr to meet the moon."
"You can afford to wait." (Sep
tember 18. 1916, to convention of Na
tional American Woman Suffrage As
sociation.) The President did not say
a word on this occasion to explain why
If he favored suffrage, he had steadily
opposed it in Congress; or what he
would do to help it in the future.
NEW SUGAR RATES MADE
Tariffs From Grants Pass Permit
Competition With Water Trafifc.
SALEM. Or., Oct. 19. (Special.) The
Oregon Public Service Commission to
d;iy granted the application of the
outhern Pacific Company for permis

for 100 pounds of sugar in carload lots.
with a minimum weight of 60.000
pounds, from Grants Pass to Portland.
The order also applies to other points
on the Southern Pacific's lines in Ore
Kon. except that the rate will be gov
erned by adding a 10-cent arbitrary at
a minimum weight of 36.000 pounds to
the present local rate on sugar from
Portland to these intermediate points
The establishment of the new rates
on sugar, the Commission found after
an investigation, was necessary to per

Some critics and many exhibitors so
declare. They assert that martial
atmosphere is sufficient to condemn a
picture, for the public is no longer In
terested in the smoke of battle and
turns from a uniform when it Is
flashed on the screen. However much
this may be true, you'll find that Its
application is coupled with film me
diocrity. There is no weakening of in
terest, no lessening of charm, in pic
tures such as "Her Father's Son," the
Vivian Martin offering at the Pickford
Theater.
"Her Father's Son" is a picture quite
worth seeing. It lias a delightful star,
this same 4 little Vivian Martin, who
is equally charming as a timid youth
or a brave Southern lass in crinolines.
It has an atmosphere reminiscent of
the most realistic of Southern stories,
and the theme, while not of the "grip
ping" variety, is entertaining. Then,
too. there is a comedy flavor that Is
a distinct asset.
The story presents Miss Martin as
Frances, and then Francis. When her
father dies Frances goes to the home
of her uncle, disguised as a boy, for
the uncle offers to rear his nephew,
unaware of the sex of his relative. The
boy, Francis, does not. measure up to
the .standard of the Southern gentle
manbut the girl. Frances, is all that
anyone coild wish, and makes an easy
conquest of the handsome young army
officer. . The girl's allegiance to the
South causes trouble, and brings a
challenge for a duel, but the clouds
clear when Frances tnd Francis are
disclosed as one, a member of the sex
that in those days at least did not bat
tle with pistols-.

Bray cartoon comedy are other sub-

Columbia.
Wilfred Lucas, who is responsible for
a 'number- of splendid character por-
rayals in recent months, is the star.
as well as author, of "The Rummy," an
appealing story of newspaper life, the
current Triangle feature at the Colum
bia Theater. It is a simple story of a
man's chivalry and his loss of faith in
womankind, an idol shattering that
sends him down to the gutter, but, un
der the skillful interpretation of Mr.
Lucas, the story touches the spectator
as do few of even tbje more pretentious
photodramas of the day.
The newspaper world and the under
world in its relation to political boss-
ism give atmosphere to "The Rummy.
He is "the rummy" because he believed
the story of a girl picked up on the
streets, rescued her from the night
Police Court and then married her, only
to have his faith rudely shattered when
he discovered her in the apartments of
political boss.
Forgetting ambition and all else ex
cept the desire to forget, the rummy
is soon a whisky-soaked derelict, liv
ing off his former friends. Then the
"fall guy" for the boss gives the rummy
the "straight" of the affair between
the wife and the boss and sets in mo
tion a power that brings husband and
wife together, gives the rummy an
opportunity to stage the biggest graft
expose in the history of the town and
secure his old Job as city editor.
"A Scoundrel's Toll" is a Keystone
transportation medley. There is a trac
tion president, his superintendent, his
pretty daughter, and a fender inventor
as the principal characters. The su
perintendent, who has already victim-
zed the inventor s sister, would marry
the president's daughter. So would the
inventor and, in addition, he would
square things for his sister. The vil
lain kidnaps his wife-to-be, but in the
end discovers that he is finally hooked
up with the woman he deserted. Some
clever business, including a pest-ejector,
is presented during the two reels.

for he fights the Indians, he fights
villainous official who robs him of his
Job. and then fights a redskin tinder
water. So there is no lack of the kind
of action for which Bill Hart Is fa
mous among film fans.
"The Primal Lure" presents Hart In
the guise of a Hudson Bay Company
factor in the Far North, a stern Scotch
man, on whom his duties weigh heav
ily. He is loved by a girl of the post,
who makes for him a pair of mocca
sins, and hides them in his cottage.
The factor's account book is stolen and
the girl's visit is misinterpreted and
she is charged with theft and thrown
in prison. Thus love turns to hatred,
and she strives to humble the man
who has humbled her. Her opportun
ity coineg when a Hudson Bajr official
visits the post, and the girl has the
satisfaction of seeing the Scotchman
robbed of his loved power. But drought
leads to a plague visitation, and the In
dians demand a white sacrifice that
their gods may relent.- Then the fac
tor, sorely needed, returns to the post,
takes charge of the battle against the
Indians, and finally, through a series
of soul-stirring Incidents, is brought to
a realization of his great love for the
Sir he has injured, as well as hia in
justice towards her.
"The Love Comet" is a Keystoner of
aerial comedy, with an astronomer and
his telescope playing a prominent part
in the fun. A pair of sweethearts play
havoc with the sedate group of scient
ists, and rudely disturb the heavens
with fireworks and an aeroplane.

"Romeo and Juliet" is hailed as the

"When the attorney for vested in
