rhat "certain interests" have threat
ened him with dire punishment if he
persists in his efforts to cut the cost of
living, but that he will never recede
from his position that he owes to the
laboring- man of family o do what he
can to make it possible to pet neces
saries of life at reasonable rates, were
declarations, made by George Baker.
Mavor of Portland, at the luncheon of
the Rotary Club in the Hotel Benson
yesterday noon. The Mayor was
routidly cheered.
The Mayor was down to tell the
Kotary Cluo what it and kindred or
ganizations may do to help the city
Hdministration, and his strongest point
was that each member should familiar
ize himself with the policies of the
municipal government and its officers,
and should criticise only when sure
something wrong is being done.
Honest advice and criticism are al
ways welcomed, he said, but no amount
of threatening can swerve him from a
fsiven course, once he is certain he is
right.
runinhmtnt In Promised.
'T"o not be misled by statements
that dishonest thines are being- done at
the City Hall." said the Mayor. "Under
the present system, we couldn't bo dis
honest if we wanted to, for it would be
known at once; therefore it doesn't pay.
And for the same reason. I'm going to
tell you that we won't let you be dis
honest; we won't let you overcharge
for your produce, and if you think you
can do that you're inistakrti.
"1 have been threatened at different
times by certain interests that they
would mete out dire punishment to me
if I persisted in" carrying forward my
policy of cutting the cost of living. It
don't make any difference; I shall con
tinue: just as long as I'm Mayor. 111 be
Mayor, and if that is the kind of man
you want in the office one who will
stand out for the right at all times and
not sidestep anything, then give nie
your support.
"As long as I am Mayor, T shall stand
for law and order. I will be as liberal
at possible, but when it comes to a
question of Jaw, it will be enforced to
the letter."
Patriotic Talk Thrill-.
One of the most thrilling patriotic
speeches ever heard in fort la nd was
made by Silas Pearce. a financial figure
of an Francisro. who is now giving bis
full time as a volunteer in carrying the
message of the hour to various see
llons of the country. He followed Mayor
Baker and received a big ovation at
the close of his remarks.
"it is like t raveling through Tea th
Valley and suddenly coming into an
oasis," aid Mr. Pearce. "to get to Port
land. A city which has the loyal spirit
this has and a state such a s Oregon
has proved t o be a re t wo wonderful
things. I have nothing to say for the
purpose of spurring your patriotism,
for you don't need it. but J want to tell
you a few things that should be known
to everyone."
Victory ot Fan7
Mr. Pearce then related various Inci
dents, showing that "the Prussian idea"
is the embodiment of murder, rapine
and t error, and must be k illed and
Hohenzollernisni executed before this
war is ended.
".And don't think that victory is to
he easy." said Mr. Pearce. "Kvery
ounce of energy, every dollar necessary
a nd every ina n needed to execute the
1 'rii sst an idea must be promptly given.
Another thing don't let anyone,
whether on 1. W. AW or a United States
Senator, criticise the war or criticise
our allies; that is treason, and all who
utter such should be treated as
traitors."
Mr. Pearce also praised those who
have given up their- business, such as
Hoover did, to give freely and unspar
ingly of their talents and time to the
Government.

above 'the ordinary plane of acting.
She lives if, breathes it thia Ptrange

the entir ataering; and performance of
"Romance that actually seems to mes

Edward Horton has the extremelv
difficult task of playing a tottering old
man in the prologue and epiloeue and
a youth of scarcely past 20 in the three
acts that take place between t hem.
There is well-niph a score of interest
ing: characters, . some quaint costumes
nd many rich Htage settings.
Everything centers on Cavallini and
there is something almost sacred in the
references to Patti, who was rising- to

generally considered to be the most
beautiful stock production of its kind
ever given here.
