Message from Warren G
Harding, republican candidate
for president, to Robert N.
Stanfield, republican candidate
for United States senator from
Oregon; dated Chicago, 111.. Oc
tober 30, 1920:
"The people of your ' state,
looking backward upon eight
years of mismanagement of our
foreign and domestic affairs,
will welcome the return of the
republican party and restora
tion of constitutional govern
ment to replace centralized one
man power and inefficiency. I
urge them to give heed to the
fact that if they are to call the
republican party to service in
this time of need they must
make decisive their choice of
those who will aid in carrying
the republican promise into
performance. Your election to
the senate by a decisive vote
will be a contribution of the
people of your state to a united
America, ready to go forward in
new confidence and new
achievements.
WARREN G. HARDING."
At the close of the campaign, with
the situation clearly before him, Rob
ert N. Stanfield, republican candidate
for United States senator, believes
that the voting strength of Oregon is
with him in his fight for a beneficial
revision of the tariff and that his
election is assured. Mr. Stanfield has
found the state arrayed against a
continuance of the Underwood tariff,
with its stagnation of stock growing
and agriculture, and is confident that
a realization of the need for a repuD
lican senate and house will insure the
success of the ticket in Oregon.
Convinced of Election. '
' "I am convinced that I wfll be
elected," said Mr. Stanfield last night,
"because the people of Oregon realize
the shaky tenure of power in America
from the republican viewpoint. The
whole country is feeling the stagna
tion of financial and Industrial con
ditions, a stagnation that has largely
been brought about by the collapse of
markets for American products, which
results from the importation of prod
ucts from foreign countries, such as
New Zealand butter. Australian .and
Chinese eggs, wool and mutton from
Australia, hides, skins and beef from
the Argentine, and timber and wheat
from Canada.
"These commodities are products of
much cheaper labor and are created
by labor that does not enjoy the
standards of living prevalent in the
United States today, and therefore it
Is Impossible for American producers
to compete with them. From an in
dustrial viewpoint there are two so
lutions to this problem. American
industries can compete from a .man
agerial viewpoint with any industries
In the world. But if they are to
come into open competition with for
eign producers it is essential that
they must have labor on the same
coet basis as prevails in foreign coun
tries, and for labor to be bougrht at
that price implies a reconstruction of
the standards of living in America.
Proposition la Unthinkable.
"Such a proposition is unthinkable.
It would mean denying to American
children the privileges of education
which they now enjoy, would deny
them the right of self -development
and would require that their ener-g-ies
be devoted to the production of
commercial commodities in order that
the necessities of life might be pro
vided. If we are to compete, on the
present basis, it will mean child la
bor. It would necessitate the repeal
of our laws regulating the hours of
labor, for we would be placed in com
petition with countries that have no
limitation as to the hours of toil.
"The republican party proposes to
repeal the Underwood tariff bill and
to enact tariff schedules that will
protect American industries to the
extent of the difference in the cost of
labor and materials in this country,
as contrasted with foreign countries
which are dumping their products ou
the American market. '
"Of course, the repeal of the Un
derwood tariff law and the enact
. ment of republican tariff schedules
cannot be realized until after March
4, 1931. but election of a republican
president, supported by a republican
senate and house, will restore eco
nomic confidence and will result in
the solid industrial and financial sup
port of our industries, which will
bring about termination of present
business depression.
"A democratic victory, presidential
or senatorial, would mean the per
petuation of present free-trade poli
cies and a continuation of the al
ready prevalent financial and unem
ployment distress, until our farms
and factories will become- idle and
would witness the return of
jsmokeless chimnies, -empty dinner
pails and the soup houses of 1914
all democratic institutions.
"The voters of Oregon, with a full
'realization of these conditions, are
going, to vote a straight republican
-ticket which means the election of
Warren G. Harding for president and
the election of a republican senator
a no i:uu-g i eoeiueii iroui Lnis Slate. All
factions of the party are united in
this resolve."

BT LEONE CASS EAER.
Is lazy little crooney song, : the
Earr twins sing as an introduction
to their brilliant dance act, they
opine, in rhyme that it isn't their
eyes, or their arms or their ankles or
any especial combination of gifts or
circumstances, but "it's the way we do
what we do."
Later developments prove that they
have spoken aright. They have taken
the seven or ten original dance steps
and in a fine flash of imagination
have given them new meaning and
new moods. There is cumulative force
in their series of interpretations,
which are such a happy combination
of dance and dancer that one cannot
decide just where dance begins and
the dancers leave off. The Barr twins
are elfish maids, slim and picturesque
with bodies that weave song and
poetry. They have four dance epi
sodes, an Argentine tango of spirit
and vivacious action, an exquisite in
terpretation of Mendelssohn's Spring
song, and a novel adventure called
Milady's Mirror in which one Miss
Barr poses in dance attitudes in front
of a framed opening which represents
a mirror, in which her sister repeats
faithfully and perfectly every grace
ful gesture.
The giris are as alike as the pro
verbial twin peas in a pod, and al
though the programme says one is
Gertrude and one is Evelyn there's no
way of knowing which is which.
Their dance frocks are gorgeous in
color and style and an effective use
of colorful curtains and lights . en
hances the setting.
A big piano at one side of the full
stage provides opportunities for Rube
Beckwith, a Pendleton, Or., boy by the
way, to contribute a share of the
glory to the act. His playing is in
spirational, full of gay little tinkles
and runs that the composer never
dreamed of, and in between one of
the dance specialties. Mr. Beckwith
plays a delightful medley solo which
was interrupted at various stages
with applause. -
A clever sketch with a plot, which
in itself is unusual in this hour of
plotless sketches, is sponsored by an
engaging comedian, Robert Hyman.
He plays the role of a sales manager
who plots a fine dark plot with his
wife to force his employer to raise his
wages to $5000 a year. The plot
hatches with unexpected results and
one surprise trails another. Mr. Hy
man, whose work is better known in
the east than here, is an excellent
comedian, of quiet natural methods
and he makes the role very humorous
and real. The rol of his addlepated
wife, who apparently messes the plot.
is played admirably by Virginia Mann.
A boss, a maid and a butler add their
mites and help make the sketch a
constant delight.
Leon Varvara is a favorite every
second he is on the stage. He is a
pianist who has a musical grip on
every sort of tune. He gives his de
lighted listeners grave tunes, glad
tunes, arias and jazz he jazzes oper
atic airs and turns jazz into opera.
He has a likeable way and plays so
easily and seems to enjoy it all so
much himself that the audience sits
enthralled under its spell.
Frank Kellam is the big comedy
riot on the bill. He is an attenuated
person who makes capital out of his
meatless days. His partner is an
Irish edition of Frances White, of
petite body and fascinating ankles.
Her name Is Patricia O'Dare and she
sings and asks frank questions so he
can hand us a laugh with his answers.
He travesties the drawing room type
of balladist and with difficulty extri
cates himself from alarming positions
into which his gestures lead him. .His
dancing is unique, he is highly orig
inal in his eccentricities and affords
a lot of fun. He wanders into the
last act. a legerdemain and sleight of
hand turn offered by John and Nellie
Olms. They are materializing watches
out of thin air when Kellam comes
on with one of these huge old imitar
tion marble clocks and fits into the
picture so comically that he almost
breaks up the act. The Olm's have a
remarkably clever turn too, in which
time pieces appear and disappear
magically and thimbles multiply or
fade into thin air. The act goes rap
idly and pleasantly.
George Beebe and Eddie Nelson In
"His Girl" have a most diverting
hodge podge of songs and interchange
of keen observations. Their entire
act sparkles with comedy of an origi
nal sort and they had to make a
speech yesterday.
Opening the bill are Ed Lord .and
Marjie Miller, the latter a vivacious
Venus with no clothes to bother her
as she wheels around the stage. They
are cyclists and put comedy patter
into their intricate turnings.
This show closes with the matinee
Wednesday. Tomorrow night there
will be two shows, one at 7:30 and one
at 10 o'clock, with election returns
read from the etage.

" BY LEONE CASS BAER.
A COMEDY drama encompassing all
the elements of country inno
cence and homely virtues and simple
worth' as contrasted with city sagac
ity and . sophistication and even
viciousness is ".Vlile-a-Minute Ken
dall," which yesterday went on the
boards for this week at the Baker.
Skillful character painters bring out
the roles quite as the author, Owen
Davis, planned, and their combined
talent aijd experience and the play
itself blend into an excellent enter
tainment. A dissolute young man with more
money than gray matter is Mile-a-Minute
Kendall, who gets his sobri
quet from the pace he maintains. On
the eve of a runaway, marriage with
a Broadway adventuress, he wrecks a
milk cart a-s he whirls through a lit
tle village, and the constable halts
him. , He and the adventurers bride-to-be
and her youthful chaperon
make the best of the delay and decide
to lunch at the little old inn kept by
an old Shylock and his quaint and
unsophisticated niece. Mile-a-Minute
Kendall is in his cups, and when his
irate father descends upon him he is
no fit match for his father's tirade.
The father's money and a history he
has ferreted out concerning the es
capades of the bride-to-be cause that
adventuress to vanish, leaving only
a word of farewell to the boy, who
has gone in search of a minister.
Overcome by his defeat, young
Kendall breaks in health and for
weeks he Is nursed back to health
and sanity by the little country girl,'
who. it seems, he knew in childhood
Inspired by her love and faith, he
invents a mechanical device which,
with the aid of her capital and
money borrowed from others in the
immediate circle, makes him and the
members of the hastily-formed stock
company millionaires as the curtain
falls. His parents relent and father
and mother? figurately bring the
fatted calf to their prodigal son since
he will not come after it. '
The play throughout shows a sym
pathetic observation of the ways and
philosophies of small-town people.
The story is for the most part
treated with logic, and its comedy is
natural. ,The title role orfers a splen
did chance for Selmer Jackison to give
a remarkably impressive interpreta
tion. It is the best acting role he
has had so far and provides him with
plenty of moments to evidence his
versatility in both comedy and drama.
He brings an ingratiating smile and
natural manner, and he is entirely
convincing.
Leona Powers' characterization of
the little country girl is appealing In
its deep, eincere womanliness. She
reveals the heart of a loving young
girl, patient understanding and car
pable of sacrifice. She fits prettily
Intd the picture always.
Lora Rogers triumphs, as Invari
ably she does whenever one of these
sad, tired-out old women roles falls
to her lot. As the pessimistic Amelia,
full of woe and fuller of prophetic
gloom, she is a positive joy, and the
audience awaits her every sad line.
Leo Lindhard contributes an amusing
characterization as the country, inn
keeper with an aggravated appetite
for liquor. Smith Davies is an unc
tuous justice whose pursuit-' of the
sad Amelia makes one of the Joy
spots in the piece. William Lee as
a devilish rube all slicked up affords
much merriment. Shirley Mayberry
was the blonde vamp most persua
sively and Mayo Methot in colorful
attire, which enhanced her- piquant
beauty, flitted in and out . of the
events as a companion to the adven
turess. George P. Webster brought
naturalness and robust comedy to
the role of the father. Irving Ken
nedy was the representative of the
millionaires who bought the patent.
Murray Barnard was a sort of villain
who owned the adventuress and.
Emily MacPherson stepped in at the
last as Kendall's mother to forgive
him. y

Hppodrome.
THE days of the country school
house are recalled in "The Dls-.
trict School," the headline act on thj
Hippodrome bill, whloh opened yes
terday. Frank Rich and his company
of six, who are boys and girls of the
school, have a beautiful time' going
through the traditional speeches,
dances and songs of the pupils of the
"awkward" age.
Their castumes are screams and
call forth quite as much laughter as
their efforts to be unconcerned when
they are called on to recite their
"pieces." There is the little girl
who gigles and the boy with the great
shock of bright red hair who can
never remember to take his hat off,
and two girls who just know how
pretty they are.
Their stammerings and the jokes
they pull on "teacher" are much en
Joyed by the audience. Some very
clever clog dancing, a solo or two
and an ensemble number round out
the act.-
"A Modern Diana" is the title of an
emotional drama, staged by Ted Mc
Lean and his company. It is crammed
with dramatic moments and has just
enough comedy for balance. It tells
the story of a pretty stenographer
whose brother steals J800 from her
employer. To cover up her brother's
guilt the girl takes the blame and
offers to go to Jail for It. The happy
ending is a fitting climax for the
playlet.
Sinclair and Gray havo a novelty
act in which they turn from some
clever singing to bicycle riding, which
they do even better.
Lynn. Weston and Lynn present an
act which is loaded with laughs. One
of the trio is discovered in the aud
ience and finally is coaxed up on the
stage after much' fun-making. The
singing is well done, but the quick
repartee delights more.
Jack Polk, billed as the "eccentric
comedian, still 'polking along," just
stands and talks conversationally to
his "customers," springing one joke
after another from a seemingly end
less store.
Alice Lake in "The Misfit Wife" Is
the photoplay feature on the bill,
which will continue until Thursday.

Herman. Burcher Now Faces Long
Terra for Unlimited Faith in
Los Angeles Gazer.
Because Herman Burcher, alias
Paul Schewe, had unlimited faith in
the powers of a Los Angeles astrolo
gist, he now faces a long prison term
as a confessed forger and embryonic
safe-cracker.
In a voluntary confession yesterday
to Lieutenant of Detectives Goltz,
Burcher gave a complete and detailed
statement of his forging six spurious

certified checks on Portland jewelers
Saturday afternoon and evening while
posing as a soldier in the army med
ical corps. ' "
With a cynical smile, the fast
working forger admitted to Lieuten
ant Goltz that his. downfall was
caused by a glowing horoscope pro
jected by "Professor" A. W. Foster,
dealer in astrology and futures at
Jl per deal.
Good Year Is Prophecy.
"A beneficent influence is operat
ing during this year, which will im
prove all present conditions and af
fairs." prophesied the Los Angeles
student of the stairs.
And forthwith Burcher gathered to
himself a bountiful supply of blank
counter checks on a Los Angeles
bank, together with the necessary
paraphernalia for forging a cashier's
certification.
"You will gain socially and finan
cially and will prosper In all your
undertakings; it is a good year, to
enlarge your future prospects and to
seek to increase your material wel
fare while this influence Is operat
ing," continued the astrologlst who
has "mastered the science of know
ing your future."
With this alluring promise held out
to him. Burcher came to Portland
and began passing out these forged
checks with lavish hand.
Irresistible, Saya Horoscope.
"You are ' irresistible," continued
.the horoscope. ,
As if in answer' to this pledge ot
the astrologist, six Portland Jewelers
"fell" for his line of talk and will
ingly cashed checks ranging from $70
to J100.
But there was one paragraph of the
astrologist's horoscope which Burcher
apparently overlooked.
"Taurus s your zodiacal sign, the
sign of the bull," it read. - ;
Burcher regretfully admitted there
was too much "Taurus" to the horo
scope which "Prof" Foster wrote for
him. This $1 horoscope, he said, was
the most injudicious investment 'he
had ever made.
In his confession Burcher said his
real name is Paul Schewe, and that he
was born in Germany 35 years ago.
He said he came to the United States
in 1907 and worked for several years
in gold mines.
Saloon Held l"p In 1013. '
He said in January, 1913, he held up
a saloon ia Denver, procuring $30.. He
was captured a few days later and
sentenced to from 9 ' to 13 years in
the Colorado state prison. He was
paroled in December, 1919, and vio
lated his parole in March of this year.
After leaving Colorado as a parole
v'olater, he said he went to Texas
where he worked for a time in the oil
fields near Witchita Falls. Later he
went to Idaho where he forged four
spurious checks on Pocatelio mer
chants. One , of the gold watches
which he procured there with his
forged checks was found, among his
possessions.
From Pocatelio he went to several
cities in the west, but it was in Los
Angeles that he decided to operate as
a forger on a large scale after the
astrologist 'had given him assurance
that his financial undertakings were
certain to meet with success.
One Jeweler Suspicious.
He came to Portland 10 days ago
and carefully laid his plans for the
wholesale forgeries which he put
across Saturday. He hurried from one
jewelry store to another, always pur
chasing high-grade watches and giv
ing the spurious certified checks for
$70 or $100. He had cashed nis sixth
forged check when one of the jewelers
became suspicious of his actions and
called 'the police. Inspectors Hyde
and Abbott then made the arrest.
Burcher said he was planning to
get a partner for extensive safe
cracking operations. He had a quan
tity of fuse, gunpowder, dynamite
caps and other tools employed by
burglars and cracksmen.
"I had figured on 'blowing out of
Portland this morning," he said. "1
had cleaned up with six good watches
and over $100 in cash and was going
to head south.
Burcher was still wearing the uni
form of a soldier in his city jail
cell. He insists he was in the army
from 1910 to 1912, and he has nu
merous pictures of himself in soldier
uniform. He was not in vue service
during the recent war.
7 Checks Held In Reserve.
In addition to the six forged checks
which he succeeded in passing on lo
cal Jewelers Saturday,- Burcher had
in his possession seven other checks,
totaling $610. which ho said he was
holding in reserve for some other
city. All of the checks were on a Los
Angeles bank.
Practically all of the jewelers wno
were mulcted by the suave soldier
impostor called at police detective
headquarters and identified the
watches which they had sold to Bur
cher. In every instance the mer
chants had given him from $15 to $35
in change from the checks. Lieuten
ant Goltz said Burcher had sufficient
money on him to make good every
cent of the money shortage and the
Jewelers will not suffer any finan
cial loss as a result of the man's operations.
A forgery complaint will be filed
this morning against Burcher. He
indicated he would plead guilty. He
will be arraigned some time today in
municipal court and held to the state
grand jury.
In the' meantime the police are send
ing out f'ngerprlnts and B'rtlllon
measurements in an effort to get a
complete check on Eurcher's past
criminal record.

Lower Prices
We Started This Thing and We 're
Going to See It Through
IT IS pleasant to be able to record that some stores almost immediately
followed our lead and that still others, though more dilatory, are
beginning to join this Giving Portland Lower Prices movement. As
for our own part we had no example and no inspiration other than that
which came from within ourselves and we would have continued to go it
alone if necessary. The people have already felt in large part the bene
fits of this determined policy and we shall not rest in our efforts to make
lower prices effective on other lines as quickly as such can-be brought
about. ,
3 Pages in Each of the
Sunday Papers
told of Meier & Frank store news for today. The back page was given up to im
portant new sales of women's dresses, suits, blouses, new fur hats, sales of fur coats
and coatees, silk underwear and silk stockings, wool sweaters and coatings. Then
there was a page of saving on diverse lines of wanted merchandise, notably silks, cos
tume velveteens, laces, blankets, comforters, pillows, outing cloth and table linens in
the Upstairs Store, and, in the Downstairs Store, savings on domestics, percales,
muslins, cambrics, nainsooks, bedding, etc. A third page was devoted to the Half

Thought you would say it's a world beater.
It is! We knew that it was an extra good
value to begin with when we launched this
sale last Friday and, having pursued certain
investigations in the meantime and seeing
what other stores are clamoring about, we
will back these suits against any in the terri
tory at or near this price. The fact that

is not nearly so important as the fact that
the original prices were based on a very close
margin of profit. Worsted suits of such
standard character as these are as staple
almost as sugar and men would have counted
it good fortune any time within recent years
to get such suits at less than $40. Plenty of
the good conservative models that so many
men are asking for these days and all sizes
to fit men of every build.
