The Home Telephone Company, financed largely by local capital, came to Portland in
response to a general demand for relief from the miserable service then being furnished by the
Pacific Company. Since entering the local field it has fulfilled every obligation to the public.
It has at all times rendered the best possible service arid at rates below those of its competitor.
In the present crisis and because it fully recognizes its public obligations and has a due regard
for the rights of its employes, without whose services it could not operate, it is able to offer,
its patrons its usual splendid service. J
Although its employes are as a rule better paid than those of the Pacific, tHey are, owing
to the great increase in the cost of living, entitled to better treatment at our hands, and nothing
but the financial condition of the company is preventing such favorable action. An industry
which cannot pay its employes living wages cannot justify its existence, and it is to enable us
fully to meet this situation that this appeal is being made to the public.
The Home Company is financed largely by local capital and practically every dollar-of
its revenue is being spent with home industries and for home labor. It is offering better serv
ice at lower, rates than its competitor and is, therefore, surely entitled to better support from
the citizens of Portland than it has heretofore received. Any reasonable increase in business
wiil place the company in position to meet any just demands of its employes and make such
extensions as may be found necessary from time to time. 1

TEUTON EGO BLAMED
Dr. Boyd Revises His Version
of "The Two Germanys."
MISS ENID WATKINS SINGS
History of Race Followed and . Em
phasis Laid on Fall of Roman
Empire Humanity's En
richment Pointed Out.
Three hundred business men yester
day got a new insight on Germany and
things German as well as the great Ger
man people when they listened intently
to an address by Rev. John H. Boyd, of
the First Presbyterian Church, who
spoke before the Progressive Business
Men's Club on a revised version of his
April address, oft-repeated, "The Two
Germanys." To German egoism is laid
the blame for the great world-wide war,
according to the speaker.
Dr. Boyd traced the history of the
German people from the early cen
turies to the time of the fall of the
Roman empire; "a thing in Itself for
which the world always would have
honored Germany had she done nothing
else," said Dr. Boyd. He told how hu
manity had been immeasurably en
riched up to the 19th century by the
great minds of the German populace
in science, literature, architecture, etc.,
and, said Mr. Boyd. "I can say with
out fear of contradiction that in those
days the German had the most fertiliz
ing intellect of mankind."
German Laneuase Favored,
"That is the Germany we must never
forget," continued the speaker. "I am
not in sympathy with the move in cer
tain sections of the country to oust
the study of the German language
from the schools and colleges. The
world never will consent to being
robbed of the Germany of the past.
We must never forget the Germany of
the 19th century.
"But after that time something hap
pened. Sweeping over Europe was a
trong democratic spirit, an idealism.
n outgrowth, you might say, of the
great American democracy, which
brought about the revolution of 1848.
Then was crushed what had been
planned as a 'free Germany," and Bis
marck came upon the scene and the
Prussian military spirit replaced the
move toward democracy: in other
words, Bismarck became the spirit In
carnate for the Hohenzollerns.
Sequel Levtnre Projected.
The phenomenon of Germany today
s the phenomenon of perversion. The
Germaft egoism has been born, has
been reared to its nth degree and now
must be blotted out, extirpated, and
until it is, that spirit of democracy
which has been arrested in the ' war
ring world will not come into its own.
'Shortly I am planning a lecture
which will be a sequel to 'The Two
Germanys.' and I intend to entitle it
The Unmasking of Germany.
Miss Enid Watkins, of San Francisco.
who has been singing for the soldiers
of the new National Army in the va
rious Coast camps, save several selec
tions, which were so roundly applaud
ed that Dr. Boyd suggested that the
programme be continued and that he
speak another time. Miss Watkins has
been singing under the auspices of the
War Work Council and her appearance
at the various cantonments have been
notable events.

Transport Postal Card.
The absent-minded chap who posts
a letter bearing only a two-cent stamp
today will have it back again as fast as

the missive will wander on to its des
tination, where the extra charge will
be collected.

night struck. Uncle Sam began the use
of 3-cent stamps for letter postage.
At the same time postal cards "took on
airs" and advanced to 2 cents. The
1-cent postal card is not obsolete if a
penny stamp is affixed beside the print
ed one, but otherwise it won't get any
farther than a bug in the chicken-yard.
Postmaster Myers caused signs to be
posted above all letter-drops this morn
ing again calling the attention of the
public to the new postal provisions,
which are a part of the Government's
drive for the increase of war revenues.

NQUIRY WILL BE WADE
Director Sommer Suggests Employ
ment of Polytechnic's Extra
Quarters as "Reconstruction
School" for Soldiers.
A proposal by Director Sommer to
employ the extra facilities of the Ben
son Polytechnic School as a "recon
struction school" for the training of
wounded soldiers met with favorable
consideration yesterday at a meeting
of the School Board.

teaching of trades and with the finest
quarters for that purpose to be found
in the Northwest, has a pupil capacity
of 2000 and classes at present which

He broached the suggestion that the
idle facilities of the school be diverted
as need arises to the training of
wounded soldiers in occupational pur
suits, as is done .in many large schools
throughout France and England. He
drew attention to the fact that Ore
gon's Senators and members of Con
gress are now at home and may be
consulted with a view to enlisting their
interest in the plan. The Board looked
favorably upon the proposal and Di
rector Sommer was named chairman of
a committee to make the proper inves
tigations as to its feasibility.
As attorney for Hazel Christie, who
was injured while attending Sunnyside
School November 2, 1915, B. F. Mulkey
presented a request that the Board in
vestigate the circumstances with a
view to affording adjustment, stating
further that the child is crippled as the
result of the accident. The Board
voted to place the request on file. To
day is the last day under the statute of
limitations on which Mr. Mulkey can
file an injury suit, if such a course is
to be taken.
Inquiry to. Be Made.
In the matter of employment of
nurses and dentists for the benefit of
the schools, the Board, being advised
that legal obstacles are in the way.
