RELIGIOUS ISSUE CITED Statement Declares That Success Was Xot Due to Coalition or to Personal Popularity The four tfewly-elected school direc tors issued a statement Inst night declaring- that they will not disap point the people who voted for them and that they will "advance and de fend our free school system." They deny that their election was a coali lion victory or a personal victory and they insist that the religious .issue was dominant in the election. The statement of the successful candidates follows: The result ot the school election held last Saturday ie not a coalition victory, nor a cersonal victory of either oi of the candidates it is a victory of.th great nwtjority of the people in this lty who believe In maintaining our free public school system on a strictly non sectarian basis as asainwt a cerl&i minority who by their thorough orsraniz tiun eternally persist in rueddlinff with our educational institutions. Victory Is Sweeping. By throwing down the bars against a legHi restrictions devised for securing a strictiy legitimate vote,vby preventing the school election from being held on th same day when the special election was held but a few days before, and by se curing the full and unqualified support of the three principal dally papers ana removing all opposition to their tand dates from practically all other papers, tnat particular minority secured unusua advantages over those who supported ou American or non-sectarian free school syptem. And yet so great was the gen erai support of our ticket by the peopi that when the count began to come it was a most decisive victory from the first to the last by two to "one. As to our position in this matter. consider this action on the part of th great majority of the voters a most posi tive mandate from them to us to ad vanes and defend our tree school sys tem, and we shall keep the faith with tliem we shall not disappoint them, nor will we be unjust or unfair to the minor ity whose educational methods and claim were repudiated by the voters.

E OREGOX STATUTES IXADE QUATE DECLARES JUDGE. Six Out of Every Ten Delinquent Children Conic From Families of Discord, Jurist Says. - SALEM. Or., June 20. (Special.) That the Oregon divorce Jaws xare inadequate because of the lack of latitude -Siren the court and that at least 30 days should elapse be tween me granting or a. license to marry and the date of the ceremony were tne two points. most emphasized by G. G. Bingham, circuit judse of Marion county, in an address (riven here toniRht before the Salem busi ness men s association. "A few years ago," Judffe Binsham said, 'a few attorneys got together and expressed the opinion that people were getting advice from the courts. Later these same lawyers had a law enacted preventing any official of a court from giving any advice what- -soever. "I believe there should be an in termediary in every county, some thing similar to the court of domestic relations, where couples who are in difficulty could obtain advice regard ing their family troubles. If there was a good motherly woman to assist the court in giving advice and to settle disputes there would be less divorces. "Six out of every ten delinquent children come from homes where the mother and father are living apart, nd it has been aid that a large number of criminals come from homes where there is discord. Because of this condition I have hesitated to grant many divorces where I thought a reconciliation was possible. In many of these cases the couple have talked their troubles over and have been reunited. ' "I have such an antipathy for dance halls that it is hard for me to see any of their good points. A girl may go to a dance hail in the company of some discreet person, but be introduced to some roughneck. The marriage follows and then the divorce." The passage tf two new laws, one providing that a marriage cannot be performed Jintil 30 days after the license is issued and the other making- it impossible to grant a decree of divorce until 30 days after the com plaint is filed would tend to improve the present unsatisfactory conditions confronting the courts. Judge Bing ham said. TODAY'S FILM, FEATURES. Peoples Cor i tine Griffith, "W h a t's Your Reputation "Worth?" Columbia Gareth Hughes, "Sentimental Tommy." Liberty Clara Kimball Young, "Hush."

TENSE drama and sparkling com edy are cleverly blended in "The Spenders." film version of Harry Lecn Wilson's novel of the same name, which tops the screen pro gramme at the Rivoli. An interesting set of characters interpret situations ranging from financial battles in Wall street to struggles over the bridge tables of exclusive New York society. The fundamental idea of the plot is that it requires three, generations for an American family to go from shirt sleeves to shirtsleeves. "Uncle Peter" Bines was a pioneer who founded a great fortune as a hard-working miner in the west. His son was the builder of the family, and his grand son. P. Percival Bines, was the spend er who spurned worf. An unexpected turn of events changed the idling Percival to toiling "Pete." x proudly working in shirtsleeves in a garage. Percival's fall is preceded by his attempt to make the wolves of Wall street eat out of his hand, and estab lish himself as a Napoleon of finance. Through employment of the well known double-cross his supposed friends, however, make him a buck private in the army of the unem pIoed. Then Uncle Peter leaves his belcved western mountains, joins the rest of the family in New York, and takes a stack of chips in the Wall street game. He proves himself as capable of money-making in these surroundings as in a sky-limit game of stud poker, and by a clever deal restores the Bines fortune to its over- heaithy state. The cast of "The Spenders is ex ceptional. Robert McKim s the vil lain, and adds to his reputation as one of the best "heavies" in the business. Jostph J. Dowling is a dominating, lovable character as Uncle Peter, and Niles Welch, handsome juvenile, is young Percival. Claire Adams is at tractive in the heroine's role. An added feature of the- Rivoli film Mi! is a "Torchy" comedy, in which Johnny Hihes further establishes himself as an-original funmaker. Fox news reels and the playing of the Rivoli orchestra under the leadership of Salvatore Santaella complete the programme. - ( Screen Gossip. D. W.
