Delegates Warned That "America
Is Slipping Into Don't Care At

There Is no art among- producers
tt moving pictures, according to the
consensus of poinlon among visit
ing delegates to 'the . eleventh annual
conference of the Northwest Library
association, which opened a three day
session in central library yesterday.
While artistic scenes might "creep"
Into the actual film, neverthless the
librarians wished for a state of af
fairs wherein commercialism was not
the prime incentive for the production
of the silent drama.
The discussion grew out of a talk
by Miss Nellie M. Fisher, of the Li
brary Association of Portland during
the afternoon session of the confer
ence. Her topic "The Library and the
Movies," allowed room for the sug
gestion that libraries supplant, in a
measure, the present film exchange
in the distribution of films, just as
books are distributed and as they
have "occupied their niche" in the
world of music by pursuing educa
tional lines in that direction.
"Jan Evil" Gets Attention.
Methods by which libraries and li
brarians of the northwest may com
bat the "evil influence of jazz, cheap
pleasures and tawdry amusements"
were discussed by Charles W. Smith,
president of the association, in his
address to the delegates. "America is
fast slipping into a dont-care atti
tude; a 'let Ueorge do it' spirit, their
watchword seemingly being to 'get
by'," said Mr. Smith.
Miss Kthel Sawyer, also of Port
land talked on "Library Extension
Teaching," wherein she gave exper
iences met in conducting such work.
"Making the Public Know the Li
brary" was the topic of Miss Viola
Franklin of the Albany public library.
Efforts to Foster Musi.
Miss. Alice W. Jones, of Portland,
told the delegates of the "Portland
Library Guild," it was patterned af
ter the finer principles of union labor,
combined with those of old LnglisU
guilds. Miss Mable Alexander de
tailed efforts of the libraries to fost
er music in the homes. '
During the morning session Dr. Jo
nah B. Wise, trustee of the Library
Association of Portland, delivered an
address of welcome to the 136 dele
gates present, which was responded to
by John Riddington, librarian of the
University of British Columbia. Mr.
Riddington. paid .warm tribute to the
memory of Mary Frances Isom. former
librarian of Portland, who died re
cently. Book Reviews Symposium.
Dr. R. F. Scholz, professor of his
tory at the University of Washington,
delivered the principal address at the
evening session. In speaking of "The
Making of Public Opinion" he said
that the three most powerful and ac
tive agencies operating today in the
molding of public opinion are the
press, the movies and the libraries.
"If once we realize the paramount
importance of adult education as the
sine qua non of efficient democracy,
whether in the political or the eco
nomic field, a crystallized national
public opinion will find the way to re
duce, if it cannot abolish, intellectual
poverty and spiritual illiteracy," he
eaid. "Freedom of speech, freedom of
the press, the right of assembly for
free discussion, are not merely ques
tions of the rights of a minority as
guaranteed under the constitution. It
Is the very breath of life of healthy.
vigorous, emclent democracy. With
out it no real liberty resting on volun
tary obedience and consent can exist.
The evening session was opened by
an address by Miss Zulema Kostom
latsky on "Tendencies in the Current
Book Literature," followed by a series
of reviews of various types of new
books, including poetry and drama.

MILEAGE BOOKS ASKED
TRAVELERS' PROTECTIVE OF
FICIAL FORWARDS PETITION.
Saving to Railroads as Well as to
Salesmen Pointed Out Pre-
War Rate Requested.
As chairman of the transconti
nental passenger committee of the
Travelers' Protective association,
Clyde Evans yesterday addressed a
petition asking railroads to reissue
mileage books, forwarding the com
munication to E. L. Bevington of the
transcontinental association at Chi
cago. The petition recites that trav
eling men and others had enjoyed the
privilege of buying mileage books in
pre-war days at a reduced price of
IS 2-3 per cent.
This reduction, at that time,
brought the regular 3-cent--mile
rate to 2'As cents for those holding
books. When the government took
control of the roads the practice was
discontinued and the flat 3-cent rate
put -in effect.
. Chairman Evans pointed out that
a saving would accrue to railroads,
when mileage books were used, of
auditing expense and ticket selling
expense. He declared, as well, that
considerable time at central ticket
stations would be saved, when many
of those traveling could board trains
without purchasing a trip ticket.
War tax would be paid on the mile
age book when purchased. The former
reduction of 16 2-3 per cent Is asked.

ri EE, but she's great!"
VJ The smallest boy In the back
row at the Hippodrome theater voiced
the sentiments of the entire audience
it was evident from the applause and
the general enthusiasm displayed
when he spoke up emphatically In
praise of the pretty woman who la
one of the members of the headline
act, the musical offering of Elwyn's
Rag-O-Martmba . band. This coterie
of four dapper and talented men and
the one fair artist played everything
from jaza to classic and played with
vim and style that was inspiring.
And it was "Gee, but she's cute'
from the small lad when dainty Marie
Sweeney, a daring and clever little
aerialist popped out of a nest in
make-believe tree top and started her
daring act that gave everyone
thrill. Mane adds to her startling.
! feats some smart and entertaining
patter wnicn is quite a treat.
Irene and Billy, billed as Zblar
and Knox, present some music and
dancing and are very dressy. Irene
won the hearts of the small boys,
it was easy to see. Yes. and she
won the grown-ups, too, for she is
a wonderfully attractive dancer,
Billy plays the piano and the banjo
and is a wizara at enner.

Letter to C. J. Smith, Democratic
Chairman of Central Commit

Portland socialists yesterday ad
dressed a. communication to Dr. C. J,
Smith, chairman of the democratic
central committee, asking that ar
rangements be made for a joint de
bate here September 12 next between
Governor James M. Cox, democratic
presidential candidate, and Seymour
Stedman, socialist candidate for vice-
president.
The letter follows:
"Mr. Seymour Stedman. vice-presi-
rential candidate of the socialist
party. Is to speak at the public au
ditorium in Portland on the evening
of Sunday, September 12. We have
learned that James M. Cox is to be in
Portland that day. There are certain
fundamental differences between the
democratic and the socialist parties
upon- which it is highly desirable that
the electorate be fully informed. There
is nothing more conclusive to a clear
understanding of such difference than
joint discussion by representatives
qualified to speak authoritatively for
their respective organizations.
It seems a fortunate coincidence
that Mr. Stedman and Mr. Cox are to
be in Portland on the same day, and
we feel that such an opportunity for
a joint discussion of the Issues of the
campaign should be taken advantage
or. We therefore invite Mr. Cox.
through you, to a joint discussion
with Mr. Stedman. Our local com
mittee will be pleased to make what
ever arrangements are satisfactory
to you.
'We sincerely hope, that you can
accept this invitation and that the
discussion will prove a source of in
formation and value to the citizens
of Portland."
