Never Published, He Says.
Warren G. Harding -will be the next
president of the United States, ac
cording to the opinion of Seymour
Stedman, running mate of Eugene V.
Debs of the socialist ticket, who spent
Sunday In Portland. ,
Senator Harding will be elected be
cause of deep-rooted hatred found in
the hearts of the people of the United
States against President Wilson,
euys the socialist vice-presidential
candidate, as an emphatic protest
against the present administration.
"Governor Cox is entertaining in
nia activities, but unless he can find
something more attractive than that
the people of these United States are
making contribution to campaign
funds, he will not be able to overcome
the deep and bitter enmity towards
tho "Wilson administration, for which
he stands sponsor," said Mr. Stedman.
"There are two states, which form
erly have always been conceded to be
In the democratic column, which Cox
will probbaly lose. These two states
are Kentucky and Tennessee.
"Governor Cox is very cautious In
his addresses to give his auditors no
chance to show what they think of
his taskmaster."
Failure of newspapers in the United
States to publish the address deliv
ered by Eugene V. Debs in Canton. O..
portions of which were used as evi
dence on which he was convicted and
sentenced to prison, was evidence,
said Mr. Stedman. of the lack of free
press and free speech, in the United
States.
Speech Never PablUlied.
' "Eugene V. Debs." he said, "Is in
prison, sen: there by this adminis
tration, as a punishment for having
given to the world his earnest, sin
cere convictions as a citizen. But
the speech for delivering which he
was convicted has never been pub
lished in the American press. The
powers which control the newspapers
of this country know that if it were
published the publio would not Justify
the ferocious punishment meted out
to him. and, though the people might
excuse the judge and the Jury for
their rulings and verdict on so flim
sy a pretext because of the war hys
teria at that time, they would de
mand his immediate release, and not
only his, but the release of all in
dustrial and political prisoners, an act
of justice and clemency In which the
United States lags far behind all
other countries."
Mr. Stedman is a practicing attor
ney of Chicago. He handled the de
fense of 18 espionage cases brought
on during the period of the war. and
was successful in each case other
than that in which Eugene V. Debs
was the defendant.
Stedman Become Impatient.
"While Eugene Wood, editorial
writer for the New York Call, a so
cialist dally publication, was talking
beyond his allotted time at the pub
lic auditorium last night, Mr. Sted
man was carrying on a "front step"
conference with Portland socialists.
He wbb not talking politics, but
instead was explaining that although
"Gene" Wood was valuable to him
as a publicity agent, he always in
sists on talking longer than be
should.
"I told him to take 30 minutes and
he has talked an hour. If he doeBn't
stop soon, I will return to my ho
tel." But before the vice-presidential
nominee had time to carry out his
threat, Mr. Wood called for a free
will offering and then introduced
Mr. Stedman.
Unshaken faith In their leader, Eu
gene V. Debs, was shown by a tre
mendous ovation given when Mr.
Stedman gave them a message from
the prison cell at Atlanta.
"Mr. Debs says that while Mr.
Harding is carrying on a front porch
campaign, you tell my comrades that
I am carrying on a front cell cam-.
paign."
Socialists for Irish Freedom.
Recognition of the Irish republic,
calls for the Independence of Egypt,
India and all other countries "now
held in subjection" and lifting of the
blockade of soviet Russia are among
the important planks of the socialist
platform according to Mr. Stedman
who epoke at the auditorium last
nl'.'ht.
"The socialist party emphasizes the
rljrht of self-determination," said Mr.
Stedman. "There can be no real in
ternationalism until there is a real
nationalism, when no nation is held in
subjection against its will by a more
powerful suzerain. Without question
the Irish people have shown a practi
cally unanimous desire for inde
pendence. The socialist party demands
that the Irish republic be recognized
"It also palls for the independence
of Egypt, India, and all other coun
tries now held in subjection to a fore
ign power against the will of the
people.
"Especially it demands that the
blockade of soviet Russia be lifted,
and the -undeclared war against it,
either directly or by the giving of aid
t. its foes be ended at once. The Rus
sian federation soviet republic has
had a de-facto existence for nearly
two years with all the world against
It. Whether you approve of its parti
cular method of government or not
its organization is a matter for the
people of Russia to decide upon.
"At any rate, the world will be the
richer if it allows arc experiment in
govtrnmei.: to be carried out by sin
cere self-sacrificing and capable men
without interference by those whose
motives are under the suspicion of
ecrdidness.
Real Idinea Evaded.
"Roth the republican and the demo
cratic candidates have evaded the real
Issues of the day. Neither has said a
word for the restoration of our lost
liberties, for the establishment of in
dustrial democracy, for a world com-"
radeship and an international legaue
of nations, a parliament of elected
delegates which alone can give peace
that will endure, which alone can put
America in the front rank of the na
tions and which are to make a new
and better world, a world safe for
true democracy."
In his address at the auditorium
Mr. Stedman lauded the Plumb plan
and denounced the Esch-Cummins
railroad law as shameless plundering,
passed by senators and congressmen
who were elected by the votes of the
workers, but who are directd by the
command of capitalists.
Both Mr. Stedman and Mr. Wood
left late last night for San Fran
cisco. Saturday night they conducted
a meeting in Centralia and on Friday
held meetings in Seattle and in Brem
erton. ' . .
Orpheum.
BT LEONE CASS BAER.
R AND MRS. McFARLAND'S two
girls, Marie and Mary, bring
grand opera to our gates this week
by way of the Orpheum. The flower
of the family tradition is upset again.
There are two flowers in the McFar
land family, and Marie and Mary
probably have sung duets together
since their golden coiffures were pig
tails and the golden notes of today
were ambitious little girl voices. Their
voices have a musical affinity, and
balance melodiously. Flute-like trills
and liquid ripples soar simultaneously
from the Hps of each, and one vainly
seeks to discover where one voice
leaves off and the other joins In. Two
or three wisely chosen selections
from opera show the lyrical beauty
of their voices and bear witness to
fine technique. After that -comes a
sweet simple interpretation of a song
of the hour, "Let the Rest of the
World Go By," and the applause
brought the vocalists out for several
bows. A very fine pianist, who un
derstands and anticipates every mood
of the music, is Allen Schofield. the
accompanist for the Misses McFar
land. Another vocal act, but not of grand
opera caliber, is offered by the Prim
rose Four, the originals, billed as
1000 pounds of harmony, which estab
lishes the precedent of weighing vo
calists by their scales. There is Van
and Cantwell and Murphy and Gib
ner, each one blessed with a good
voice of that peculiar quality which
just naturally lends Itself beautifully
for harmony combinations. Either by
accident or design they have picked
song winners, and every note they
warble returns to thern fourfold in
applause.
Coley and Jaxon are a minstrel man
minus the ebon embellishments and
a cutie minx who bears every sem
blance of being the sophisticated
child she is made up to be. She
ambles up to a stage door wherein
the minstrel man lounges gracefully
and enters into conversation with him
concerning his life, her life and the
life of the sad-eyed hound dog that
trails at the end of a leash she car
ries. The dog wears a medal. Little
Jaxon gave it to him for bravery, she
savs. because he bit her stepmother.
She has little perky ways and sudden
surprised catches in her breath, and a
way of looking at her interrogator in
wide-eyed amaze which maintains a
really delightful suggestion of little
girl ways. To round out their ac
quaintance, after the houndi dog has
departed with a bone, the little maid
sings with the. minstrel man and then
steps a few lively miles or so.
Frank Wilcox is the moving spirit
in a snappy little sketch called
"SSH-H" because the word is on the
lips of every character in it. He is
an ambitious chap trying to put
across a business deal, and acci
dentally stumbles into a chain of cir
cumstances that turn the deal for
him, although for a while the audi
ence thinks he is digging his own
grave. A half dozen clever folk ap
pear in the sketch, which is well sea
soned with laughter and excitement.
A likable chap is Wallace Galvin,
comedian egg-straordinary and con
jurer eggs-temporaneous. He does a
few amazing odds and ends with
cards and then eggs-periments with
eggs at 75 cents a dozen. (Saturday's
market.) In the egg-citement he and
a youthful egg-spert, who comes out
of the audience to help, break a dozen
or so of the precious fruit, and eco
nomical housewives divide laughter
with tears. The acr is egg-ceptionally
clever and keen.
"Elly" is a diminutive and youth
ful lass In curls and rompers, who
juggles all the furniture and throws,
with surprising accuracy, all Borts of
things up into the air, landing them
Just where she wants them in tiny
pockets.
The closing act is an acrobatic and
tumbling hodgepodge in- which Will-
am Brack is featured. Their tum
bling features are unusually good,
and the act is put on with novel ideas.
This bill closes with a matinee
Wednesday.
"Lyric.
T HE King of Bing Bong" which
X opened a weeks run at me
Lyric theater with yesterday's mat
inee. Is ace-high in comedy ana mu
sical quality.
The plot has a military flavor, witn
Ben Dillon Playing Major Mike
Dooley. a Civil war veteren, and
Frank O'Rourke. new leading man
in the role of a dashing lieutenant
of the United States marine corps.
The young officer falls in love with
a dark-eyed maid while stationed in
the Philippines, and this arouses the
ire of his father, who has picked out
another girl for him. A series ol
screaming comedy situations arises
when Ike. the humble body guard
of the lieutenant, is mistaken for a
royal personage, and a plotting
French cook feeds him a dynamite
pill.
- Ben Dillon and Al Franks lead in
laying down the laugh barrage, and
both sing a number just to show
that they can put it across once in
a while. Franks, in a nondescript
uniform, has a soldier part, too. and
stops the show with his funmaklng.
Ben Broderick extracts large bun
dies of laughs out of the amall part
of a camera fiend who is always
showing up when least expected.
The Rosebud chorus dances and
sings well, and the ensemble num
bers, directed by Miss Floy Ward,
are well done.
Song- honors are divided between
Dorothy Raymond with "Down the
Trail to Home Sweet Home," and
Ben Brokerlck, with one of the bal
lads he is always putting over suc
cessfully, "Mother's Hand." Will
Rader makes a big hit with a char
acter son?, "Follow the Cook," and
other song features are "The Dark
town Dancing School," by Miss Gay
DuValL and "Honey," by Frank
O'Rourke. The three dapper chaps,
Heath, Smith and Gilklson. who have
appeared in Portland before billed
as the Paramount Trio, are experts
in getting close harmony out of the
old-fashioned melodies, their best
number being "Annie Laurie."
RELIGION SOCIALIST TOOL
Leaders of Xew Japanese Cult Said
to Be Discontented Militarists.
TOKIO. Sept. 10. "Omo Tokyo,"
the new mysterious religion of Japan,
is merely an extreme form of social
ism aimed at the destruction of the
existing social order, according to
Kakuji-Kato, a merchant, who made
a secret pilgrimage to Ayade, the vil
lage headquarters of the sect.
The leading adherents of the cult,
Kato reported, were retired and
discontented military men. He said
the tomb of the sect's founder bore
a striking resemblance to the imperial
mausoleum at Modyama.
Kato said he spent 90 days among
the Omo Tokyos and made his escape
with difficulty.

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
A FARCE In three acts with the
admonitory title of "Peggy Be
have" is being put on by the Baker
players for their second week offer
ing. Owen Davis wrote the farce.
which has for its heroine a youthful
Mrs. Newlywed, who Is super-jealous
and whose exasperating conduct
threatens a rift in a honeymoon then
pending. This especial bride has been
given more than the usual share of
feminine vices, which develop with
domesticity. She sleeps until noon,
she has breakfast in bed, her hus
band never sees her in the mornings
and eats his breakfast in loneliness
and then has every one of his working
hours at his office interrupted by tele
phone calls, from his wife, whose
jealousy has found some new food to
feed on.
Following the more or less troubled
honeymoon Peggy and her husband j
corrfe to an amicable parting of the
ways and separate. Unknown to the
other each goes to Peggy's father's
home. They arrive simultaneously
and on the eve of the father's wed
ding with a wealthy widow. Peggy,
always a non-thinker, figures rapidly
that her own husband is the groom and
that he is to be married to some other
woman without going through the
formality of procuring a divorce. By
a long chain of incidents and coinci
dences that can occur only in farces
of this variety the misunderstanding
is maintained through one entire act
and well jnto the third one before
Peggy learns that It is her father and
not her husband who Is being married.
In the' meantime she has taken mat
ters Into her own hands and has called
to her assistance the village constable
on the pretex that a thief is in the
house and that arm of the law keeps
them all under surveillance.
By another coincidence a minister
happens in and marries Peg's father
to the widow and more complications
develop, for the foolish Peggy still
thinks it s her husband who has wed
the widow.
None of it could happen in a million
years and at times the forced situa
tions and utterly Improbable far
fetched incidents cause mild conjec
ture as to what it's all about and why.
Then some says his funny line or Lora

a capricious, spoiled, hair-brained
type and Leona Powers plays her quite
as Billie Burke would do it with
pretty maneuvers of eyes and hands
and quaint petulances and a big meas
ure of feminine allure.
Miss Powers is an exceedingly good
looking young woman with that rarest
of gifts charm. Selmer Jackson
plays Peggy's husband, a hen-pecked
husband too, who comes too readily
wnen ne is called and who never
n.akes good his bluffs.
I'eggy likes him very much how
ever and the audience likes him too,
the way Mr. Jackson plays him. Leo
Lindhard is Peg's father, an irascible.
seu-wllled old man to whose lot fall
some of the clever and telling cyni
cisms in the dialogue.
Shirley Mayberry is the widow, not
designing exactly but at least am
bitious. Miss Mayberry clays the role
delightfully. A note of the unusual
is given in the role ' of the widow's
mother, who is so hard of hearing
she sails disastrously on any conver
sational sea. This role is played
nioely and in a well-balanced manner
by Emily Macpherson. a newcomer.
Mayo Methot is piquant and vivacious
and amazingly pretty as an old flame
of Peg s husband and sheathes and
unsheathes her little cat claws quite
adroitly for such a youngster as the
little Methot.
The great comedy lor of the nro-
duction is Lora Rogers In a basque
of Benjamin Harrison's era, and a
mournful visage. She Is Peeev's maid
and has taken comedy account of every
anpie tne roie arrords. Her tirades
at Peggy's enemies are a constant joy,
iney are so real.
Irving Kennedy gives an excellent
characterization of a pessimistic man
servant whose hilarity when his proph
ecies come true arrord quite as much
fun for the audience.
George P. Webster is the dignified
arm of the law all done up in buttons
and authority and Smith Davles is the
minister who fortuitously happens in
when he's needed.
This play will continue all week'
with matinees Wednesday and Satur
day. CAST

From the text, "Christ's Warning
Against the Teachings of the Mate
rialist," Rev. A. N. Hall spoke at the
White Temple yesterday morning. He
said:
"The man or the woman who would
reduce Christianity to a code of
morals or a system of ethics has
robbed it of its mighty power. The
world had codes) of morals before
Jesus Christ came into this world.
The world had systems of ethics be
fore angels sang the song over the
manger in Bethlehem.
. "The man or woman who would re
duce Christ to a philosophy has
robbed it of its mighty meaning.
The world had philosophy, and its
best philosophy, before Jesus Christ
ever walked the roads of Galilee. He
did not say that 'I came that you
might have a code of morals.' He
did not say that 'I came that you
might have a new insight into ethics.'
He said 'I came that you might have
life and have it more abundantly.' It
there had been a law given that could
have given life, then righteousness
had been by the law.
"I bring you the most solemn
thought that ever swept my mind; it
is, that all power is Invisible. There
is no such thing as a visible power.
Steam that you can see will never
move an engine. By the time it is
cool enough for you to see it, the
power has (rone out of it- There is
no such thing as visible power. If
satan were visible, we need not fear
him. I want to make this very care
ful and earnest statement: There is
not one soul In this world that will

the power of satan. There is not one
saved person in the world that would
ever go through the pearly gates- into

SCIENCE INDICTED IN PULPIT
Modern Knowledge Destroys Faith
Says Rev. Harold II . Griffis.
At yesterday morning's service for
the special benefit of the young peo
ple who will be In college during the
winter, the. Rev. Harold H. Griffis
at the First Christian church chose
for his subject, 'TJoes Science Lndan
ger Faith?" In answering this ques
tion. Rev. Mr. Griffis said in part:
"Whether it should be necessary or
not, there can be no doubt that in
many instances our modern scien
tific knowledge does destroy Chris
tian faitrH Three causes contribute
to this result. In many cases science
endangers faith because people have
a wrong conception of science. They
look upon this great boon as the effi
cient savior of mankind, the abso
lute guarantee of civilization, and
suppose that when science speaks
everything else, including religion
must keep quiet. Whereas th truth
science is but one section of hu
man life and has its strict limitations.
Scientific attainment alone is not suf
ficient for all the needs and tasks of
life.
"Again, personal faith may be en
dangered by scientific instruction be
cause people have a wrong conception
of religion. Especially Is this true
with regard to our religion's chief
textbook, the Bible. Many persons
have confused their own peculiar con
ceptions of the Bible with essential
Christianity, and because these pe
culiar conceptions could not possibly
be made to square with the facts of
science they have repudiated Chris
tianity. This is a mistake. Real re
ligion is one thing and any. individ
ual's idea of the Bible is another, and
maybe a very different, thing.
"But the most common and most
insidious cause of loss of faith
through a scientific atmosphere Is
simply the preoccupation with other
things. Many students imagine that

may excuse them from spiritual cul-

PASTOR'S FAITH IX VIRTUE
Error and Vice Will Be Reduced to
Minimum, Is His Belief.
The "Creator's Guarantee" was the
subject yesterday morning of the Rev.
George H. Bennett, Patton Methodist
church.
"The Creator by means of law, has
conducted the physical world from
chaotic conditions to orderly forms
ana lire," said Rev. Mr. Patton. "The
planetary age followed the incandes
cent. Epochs of storm, darkness, uni
versal ocean and glacial periods have
occurred. Since the appearance of life
in the world, conditions favorable to
it have been maintained, through all
the changes in ocea,n, land and atmos
phere, amid many nicely balanced con
ditions. "God has pres. ved and perpetuated
life in the world in spite of many
changes. He has led the kingdom of
nature down the ages in a marvelous
march of progress from the days of
eozoon canadensis to the era of man,
made in God's image. So the physical
and natural laws have not been frus
trated and this is God's guarantee
his moral laws and purposes In the
world will not be frustrated.
"Progress is the law of nature and
of morals. Mankind, given brains, con
science and knowledge of duty, will
eventually reach mental, physical and
moral emancipation. Civilization will
not perish. Democracy will not be
throttled. Errors and vices will be
reduced to a minimum and knowl
edge and virtue shall reach their
maximum, for Jesus said, 'The truth
shall make you free.' "
SINGERS MED TO SERVE
VOLUNTEERS FOR "THE MAN
DARIN" MEET TONIGHT.
Production to Be Given in Audilo
. rium In November lor Benefit
of Cliri&tmas Tree Fund.
Volunteers for the chorus and
principal parts in the production of
"The Mandarin," to be given at the
auditorium on November 5 and 6 for
the benefit of the municipal Christ
mas tree fund, are requested to moot
at the Elks temple, Broadway and
Stark street, tonight at 8 o'clock.
The proper presentation of the opera
calls for 100 young women and half
that number of men in the chorus. A
greater 'number will be used it it is
possible to obtain them.
To dispel any misconception which
might exist that participation. In the
production is limited solely to Elks or
their relatives by reason of the fact
that the show is to be given under
auspices of the Portland lodge of
Elks. Carey W. Mouseman, who is to
direct the opera, has issued the fol
lowing statement:
"As the production of De Koven's
'The Mandarin' is lor a -civic purpose,
it is incumbent upon every citizen of
Portland to get behind the under
taking. I want to appeal to all young
men and young women possessing
some vocal ability to attend the first
rehearsal. By vocal ability is not
necessarily meant a trained voice.
The time is comparatively short, and
it is desired that enough volunteers
be obtained tonight to proceed with
out delay."

the world-famous Aquascutum
So famous have these garments become for their SMART
NESS that their other and vitally important function" of
PROTECTING the wearer has not been sufficiently brought
out except by the loyal service which they always give when

wind-proof, cold-proof, WEATHER-PROOF.
