GREAT REPUBLICAN
VICTORY FORESEEN
IMea for Practical Americanism I
Made Ignorant Foreigner Is
Victim of Agitators.
KEW YORK. Jan. . Nationality is
the soul of Americanism and tlie re
public "has never failed humanity
and endangered civilization." Senator
Harding of Ohio, a candidate for the
republican nomination for president,
declared today in an address on
'Americanism' before the Ohio soci
ety of New York.
"We have been tardy about it," he
said, "like when we were proclaiming
democracy and neutrality while we
Ignored our national rights, but the
ultimate and helpful part we placed
in the great war will be the pride of
Americans so long as the world re
cites the story.
Korflcn Poivrri lnneccary.
"We do not mean to hold aloof
we choose no isolation, we shun no
duty. I like to rejoice in an Ameri
can conscience and in a big concep
tion of our obligations to liberty,
justice and civilization. But I have
confidence in our America that re
quires no council of foreign powers
to point the way to American duty.
We arrogate to ourselves the keeping
of the American conscience and every
concept of our moral obligations.
"It is fine to idealise, but it is
very practical to make sure our own
house is in perfect order before we
attempt the miracle of old-world
stabilization. "
In. direct reference to the league of
nations, the senator said the plea that
ratification of the treaty "would
make us normal." was that "of the
patent medicine faker, whose one
remedy marvelously will cure every
til." Formal peace would help, he
ald, and he woiild gladly speed the
day "if we sacrifice nothing vitally
American."
Foreigner Held Victim.
"I have come to think It is funda
mentally and patriotically American
to say there is not room anywhere
in these United Slates for anyone who
preaches the destruction of the gov
ernment which is within the consti
tution," Senator Harding'sald. "The
worst disloyalists and most effective
conspirators wear the garb of full
fledged American citizenship. The
lKnorant foreigner Is more a" victim
than a conspirator. Agitators and
revolutionists reached his sympathies
while the captains of American in
dustry were counting dividends with
out concern for the human element
in their making.
"In most instances the Americans
who invited and enlisted foreign ac
tivities to swell the man-power of
Industry have neglected to teach the
American language; failed to utter
American sympathies, forgot to ex
tend American fellowship and omitted
the revealment of the loftier ideals
of American citlaenshlp. The grind of
the workshop alone is poor culture
for that citizenship which makes the
Ideal republic.
"We need practical Americanism In
business as well as proclaimed Amer
icanism in politics."
Among those at the speakers' table
were: Ileutenant-General Robert Lee
Rullard, commander of the department
of the east; Henry P. Havison, Henry
W. Taft. George W. Perkins. Frank
A. Munsey. Right Rev. William A.
Leonard, Protestant Kpiscopal bishop
of Ohio; Myron T. Herrick, Elbert
JT. Gary and Colonel William B
Thompson.
BT JOSEPH MACQCEEX.
A TALL, pretty and otherwise at
tractive young woman, withoft.
dark eyes and raven hair, dressed
quietly in traveling costume, walked
up yesterday morning to the clerk's
desk In the Benson hotel and that
official, eager to please, said: "Regis-1
ter, madame?
Something about the visitor said:
"Italian."
The visitor signed her 'name thus:
"Carolina Lazzari, New York city."
"O ho," thought the clerk, "this
must be the opera songbird that's due
to sing in the Heilig theater."
Now, one of the accomplishments
of that hotel official is his ability to
speak a few words in Italian. So he
said, deferentially: "Italiano"?
"No, plain United States, and Yankee
at that," said Miss Lazzari. smiling.
And it's so. Of Italian and "French
ancestry, she was born in a little town
called Bragville, Mass., near Boston
a village that has since become
famous and suddenly musical because
Laautari was born there.
Scenery la Praised.
Lazzari hadn't been long in the
hotel when women friends called to
see her, and she told them that she
had enjoyed the entire journey from
the east to the Pacific coast the first
time in her young life and was
thankful that a threatened "crick" in
her neck had not developed.
"My dear, what would cause you
to have a crick in your neck?" said
a puzzled woman visitor.
"The pretty, mighty-to-look-at
snow-clad mountains of the far west,"
replied the deep, mellow-voiced con
tralto of the Metropolitan opera
house. New York. "You see, it's like
this: On the trip, since entering the
far western country, my maid and I
would go into raptures from railroad
carriage windows, over a snow-clad
mountain. I thought that mountain
was the greatest ever, and I just
gazed and gazed. Then came in suc
cession snow-clad mountains ascend
ing like steps on stairs, each one
higher than another. I could just
say: "Oh.' I nearly was speechless
with wonder. However, although
your mountains have nearly exhaust
ed all my vocabulary, with wonder,
my neck. I am glad to say. is not in
jured with looking heavenward so
long."
Fame Comes Quickly.
No opera star or concert artist in
America has so surely or quickly
sprung into- fame than Lazzari in
three years. Here is what she has
done: She has won out as an opera
star by singing both with the Metro
politan Grand Opera company. New
rorR city, and the Chicago Grand
Opera company. And she had been
engaged to sing on tour with that
most exclusive of American managers,
Charles L. Wagner. New York City.
Lazzari in these three respects equals
the brilliant record of Caruso and
Galli-Curci. Is that not quite a musi
cal achievement for one American
girl who has made her own way?
Rather.
Lazzari's father, born in Italy, at
first opposed the ambition of his
daughter to be a singer.
. "Carolina."' he would say. "think of
something else to earn your -living.
Remember, you have to eat and clothe
yourself. That takes money. Many
singers I know never seem to have
ready money."
However, Carolina persuaded her
father to send her to Milan, Italy, to
learn to play the piano. Mr. Lazzari
didn't think that the piano was so
bad. Carolina had her tuition bills
the teacher how to do it." saying
that he recognized the Oregon Social
Hygiene society as the leader in this
type of work. He gave his views on
How best to carry forward a cam
paign such as the organization has in
thin state, saying he favors educa
tional' rather than repressive methods.

to her father read: "To piano les
sons." when the bills ought to have
read: "To many voice lessons and a
few piano lessons." When Mr. Lazzari
learned the truth, years afterward,
there was an explosion.
Father Is Pacified.
Then Carolina returned to her na
tive America and sang as second con
tralto in a women's voice quartet,
earning the princely salary of $42.50
weakly. "That isn't so bad. You may
make some money after all by sing
ing," said papa. .
The elder Lazzari even "financed"
his daughter when she went to New
York to got singing lessons from
William S. Brady. Miss Lazzari
worked hard for more than two years
with Mr. Brady, and then, for fun, she
walked one day into the Edison
studios where all sort of voices were
being tried for mechanical records.
and said: "May I also sing for you?"
sure, sister," said the record ex
pert, "what name?"
"Miss Edwards," said the contralto.
She sang into the foghorn and went
away without anybody learning her
true name.
Five days after that, when Miss
"Edwards' " record was heard in the
Edison .shop, a yell went up: "Say.
that Edwards girl is a peach a real
singer. One of the most perfect
voices. Get her. Who is she?"
Nobody knew until Miss Lazzari,
weeks afterward, revealed her identi
ty, and then . Well, dollars .began
to roll her way.
"Are you married. Miss Lazzari?"
she was asked. "So many of you
song birds from the cast come here.

Father to Be Repaid.
"As yet I am not married," replied
the contralto. ' "It's all because of a
promise I made' to my father. You
see, I promised him when he loaned
me money with . which to get my
musical education that I would repay
him before I got married. Let me see
(musingly), in one year from now 1
will have paid my father that money.
And then. But when I do marry, it
will be an American. Yes sir. Don't
forget that I'm a Yankee, born In tho

"Tentative Plans Laid for Dinner to
Be Given Chairman Hays on
Stop in Portland.
Cheers greeted ex-Senator S. B.
Huston at a meeting of the ReDub-
ican olub of Portland at the central
library last night, when, speaking of
me prospects or the republican party
in the approaching campaign, he de
clared that "the republican party will
carry every northern state and some
in the south." Tht meeting, the first
in several months, concluded business
before hearing addresses by Mr. Hus
ton. ex-State Senator B. F. Muikey
and others.
"There is no possibility of overes
timating the disfavor in which the
people of the whole country hold the
administration," declared Mr. Huston,
"Every election in the last 12 months
has shown in which direction the
wind blows.
Republican Majorities Big.
"Last spring Baltimore elected a
republican mayor, the first In years;
last summer republicans polled 19,000
votes to 000 democratic votes In the
democratic city of St. Paul. New York
City, democratic stronghold, elected
a republican local ticket. Oklahoma,
formerly democratic, went republican
Wi the last election. And look at Ken
tucky 40,000 majority for the repub
lican party in the last election. Pros
pects were never brighter for the
party than they are now."
A motion by ex-Chief of Police Cox
to Invite all republican clubs of Ore
gon to join with the local club to
celebrate Llncon's birthday as usual
with a party dinner and programme
was carried. Plans are now under
way for a dinner to be held on Febru
ary 12, the arrangements being in
the hands of Barge E. Leonard, F. J.

riet Hendy.
Plans Made for Dinner.
Tentative plans have been made for
a dinner to be given to Will G, Hays,

HYGIENE WORK REVIEWED
3K. KDAYARD DKVIXJ2 OF SEW
YOKK IS SOCIETY'S GUEST.
President Flegel Says From 10 to
2 0 Per Cent or Diseased Wo
men Saved to Society.
According to announcement made
hy A. F. Flegel, president of the Ore
gon Social Hygiene society, at its
annual banquet in the Benson hotel
last night, that organization has
added another great achievement to
its already long list by permanently
saving from 10 to 20 per cent of dis
eased women who are cared for at
the Cedars, the city's detention home.
"That means," said Mr. Flegel to a
representative gathering of men and
women from all over the state, filling
the crystal room of the Benson, "that,
through the aid of a very great man,
we have been enabled to employ a
secretary who devotes her time to
this work so effectually that we be
lieve from 10 to 20 per cent of, the
women inmates of the Cedars are be
ing actually saved from further lives
of shame and reclaimed to useful
places in society."
Mr. Flegel explained the difficul
ties of this delicate work, saying that
the most baffling thing is to locate
proper homes for women after their
treatment at the Cedars and even
tual dismissal from that place until
such time as suitable employment is
found for them.
Work of the society in pioneering
the way for the world in the social
hygiene field was recounted briefly
by Mr. Flegel before he introduced
the speaker of the evening. Dr. Ed
ward T. Devine of New York.
The annual banquet of the society
was fixed for last night so as to have
Dr. Devine present as guest of honor.
Dr. Devine admitted that it was
largely a case of the pupil telling
