FJUH TUX CARRIES BIG
VOTE OXE OP LARGEST CAST
IN CITY ELECTION.
JIaJorlty More Than 4 to 1;
Weather Blamed for Approval
Not Being Greater.
(CoMlriqed From Flrt Pwse.)
prised the city by voting only SI for
and 65 against. Precinct No. 243 was
exactly 2 to 1 In favor, voting 71
to 37.
Only one precinct did make it
unanimous, however, and that was the
30th, where a vote of 25 to 0 was
cast. This polling place was at
Broadway and Davis street. There
was but one dissenter in the 45Ui,
located on Washington street, near
Lownsdale, and the vote was 31 to 1.
Naturally, the vast majority of the
precincts voted in tenor with the per
centage of the whole city, 4 to 1. and
those showing any considerable op
position, within the 2H to 1 class,
" did not number more than 20 out of
the total of 300 precincts of the city.
Outcome Causes Station.
While the storm and its effects
held the chief place of Interest yes
terday the results of the election
were second and general elation ex
pressed adequately the feeling about
the outcome. , Even the less strenuous
members of the opposition declared
themselves satisfied, begrudging oc
casionally the Increase in taxation
but saying they were satisfied if the
majority wanted the fair and wanted
to pay for it by txatlon.
Members of the campaign commit
tee repeated their statements of Sat
urday night and said they were not
only satisfied, but rejoiced that their
fight had been Justified' by the re
sults. Yesterday, however, waa the
only resting time, for they said the
campaign to carry the state would be
t,in at once, and with just as much
force as the city campaign was waged.
Interest In State Election.
.While the aftertalk was still being
carried on throughout the day, it was
waning somewhat and interest was
turning to the state election and
vhether a special session of the leg
islature would be called by Governor
oleott. This was considered almost
b certainty In view of Governor OI
cott's favorable attitude toward the
exposition, and In such case, it is be
lieved the state election will be held
in May, 1922, at the same time as the
primary election.
But not only was the approval of
local citizens voiced, but that of visi
tors was sounded as well. Practically
every hotel patron, whether he hailed
trom Gresham or New York city, and
even one gentleman from London, had
heard something, and often a great
deal about the proposed exposition,
but many could only speak from gen
eral Impression due to lack of definite
' knowledge.
Bast Just Waking I' p.
However, they were practically
unanimous in the opinion that Oregon
and Portland were taking a tlg step
forward in holding a world's fair.
One group of New Yorkers at the
Benson hotel, talking together and
often at the same time, said that the
esst was just waking up to the real
conditions and the true progressive
ness of the northwest. "Lots of per
smi," said one, "still believe Bill Hart

Orpheum. ,
BY LEONE CAS3 BAER.
SOME 25 years ago Papa and Mama
Doner were dancing hounds whose
originalities of steps were known from
California to New York. Yesterday
their three children, Kitty. Rose and
Ted flung a sextette of wicked ankles
and topped It off with an imitation of
the Papa and Mamma Doner of a
quarter of a century ago.
Kitty Doner, a likeable Irish lass
with a roguish laugh and a clean cut
physical allure, has been a Winter
Garden star and is known to us out
here for her appearances with Al Jol
son's companies. Kitty Is charmingly
feminine, but she fits picturesquely
and boyishly into masculine attire.
She la one of the few women of the
! stage since Edna Wallace Hopper's
day who can fit prettily into boys'
clothes and manners, and still main
tain a maidenly decorum and sweet
ness.
Kitty is in no sense an Impersona
tor In the accepted sense of the term.
FcatheT is she a saucy masquerader.
She Is an excellent dancer, and so is
her tall, good-looking brother Ted,
and as for little sister Rose, just
turned 18, she will put Marllynn Mil
ler's nose out of Joint one of these
days. For Rose even now is doing
all the turnings and twlnings of body,
with the fascinating shoulder and
knee maneuvers that have made Marl
lynn Miller famous. Sister Ross is
lovely, blonde and pouting and all
curves and cuteness. Kitty Is a mad
cap dancer, of foxy steps and sur
prising originalities of movement, a
little fiend of terpsichore. and always
smiling. Ted sings and steps amaz
ing intricacies, and on one or two
occasions adds an acrobatic whirl
with one or the other of his talented
sisters. With Kitty he does the Bow
ery dance of Pa and Ma Doner, and
the pianist volunteered the informa
tion that the children were wearing
the identical clothes their pa and ma
wore for their dance. The pianist by
the way Is another Celtic lad. Eddie
Moran, whose playing Is delightful,
especially the tlnkly music box mel
ody tor the Bowery dance.
Mary Haynes is a clever girl who
looks like Florence Moore, and Is a
comedienne of fine quality. Her char
acterizations are more than skin deep
and ehe drags out for our laughter
the soul of a trusting if blind wife,
the opera singer from the small town,
the tenor who obliges with a few too
notes at the party, the amateur Jazz
glrl and sundry others, all equally di
verting and made very real through
the clever handling Miss Haynes gives
them. She adds a keen steD or two
and Is smartly caparisoned in beads
and lace and -personality.
Mrs. Gene Hughes returns with un
diminished pep and power to amuse.
This time she is Peggy, the contented
wife of Pat, who Is not contented be
cause Peg has not risen socially while
he has climbed the heights politically.
Peggy philosophizes a bit, and grieves
a bit and then, with the help of a
vamp acquaintance of Pat's.- she de
cides to reach at one bound the social
heights Pat has In mind. Her success
as a butterfly is not what she wanted
It t ba, but it reinstates her in Pat s
fancy, and wins for him a business
deal he has dickered for with a sena
tor somebody.
Jack Joyce is a likeable chap of
merry spirits and a big pluck and
dominance over an adversity' that
might have downed a less brave and
cheerful soul. He sings in a pleasing
voice, tells Interesting stories and
dances.
Dave Kramer and Jack Boyle are a
pair of funsters who carry on for
everybody's delight. They sing in ex
cellent harmony, and put in sponta
neous fun as they proceed. One is in
ebon makeup and his pantomime is
flnev
The Knight and the Knave are a
capital pair of Juggllsts, who add
comedy of a delightful kind. Rudolf
Wagner, a comedian. Is featured in
this diverting act.
The closing number 1s also of for
eign origin, wish Sylvia Loyal chat
tering in pretty French to a beautiful
big black poodle of sagacious ways.
Sylvia hasten million pigeons which
play a pretty part in the act.
i Lyric.
GAY plot, well seasoned with
11 laughs, and side orders of music
and dance make up the musical-comedy
menu of the Lyric for Thanksgiv
ing week. The new show whieh
opened yesterday afternoon is called
"Lulu" and there is something doing
every minute from rising curtain to
finale. "
' The action of "Lulu" is laid In Paris.
There Al Franks, as Ike Leschlnski,
and Eddie G. Wright, as Iny Blotz,
stage a bout with the wines of France.
In the course of their alcoholic expe
dition they both make violent love to
Lulu, a beautiful coquette, played by
Dorothy Raymond. Ike and Iny re
member the next day that a will is to
be read which may give them a for
tune. They are disappointed, how
ever, for the will leaves the whole
fortune to Tom Smith, a country boy.
There is a string attached to it, for
Tom will, forfeit the legacy If he pro
poses to a girl or is married before 6
o'clock on the day the will la read.
The pair become plotters against Tom
and call in Lulu to help them. , That's
when the fun starts coming fast and
furious.
The musical hit of the show Is
called "Give Me a Kiss," sung by Dor
othy Raymond and Howard Evans and
featured with a dance number. Franks
and Wright start a riot of laughs with
their burlesque on this specialty.
Violet Woods, who is a French maid
this week, sings a catchy tune called
"MimL" BUlle Bingham made a de
sided hit yesterday with her song
number, Tucky Home." Jewel La
Velle and Anna Chick contribute
pleasing song specialties. The new
Lyric trio, composed of La Velle, Har
lan Thompson and a newcomer, Earl
Franklin, was introduced yesterday.
The boys offered a nice brand of har
mony, their best song being "Picka
ninnies' Paradise."

Mrs. Lowell's Estate $50,000.
EUGENE, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.)

Hippodrome.
HO EVER wrote the original
news atory about Saint Peter
guarding the gates of Paradise, never
expected his serious efforts to be re
written and turned , into the pepful
T - . . . , .
and bjjmorous mtie aramauo eau
'George ' Washlneton Cohen," which
opened yesterday as the headliner at
the Hippodrome theater.
Lester Bernard, who takes the role
of George Washington Cohen, the
Jewish gentleman who died suddenly
along about the time of the demis
of his bosom companion. King Alco
hol, handles the part In a manner
which makes him popular with the
audience Immediately.
The "star of truth." a large lum
lnary in the sky which insists on
turning red whenever Mr. Cohen tells
an untruth, is almost worn out regis
tering the various answers which the
applicant to paradise makes to Saint
Peter's questions. Mr. conen nnaiiy
induces Saint Peter, whom he calls
"Pete," to give him a chance to enter
heaven. When he finds that his wife
is waiting for him, however,, he asks
that his pass to heaven be changed la
one to the lower regions and takes
the elevator to the devil's ball.
The Roof Garden trio put on
programme ranging from dancing to
balancing on balls and the climax
comes when "Jimmy, the waiter," bal
ances himself on one finger stuck in
the neck of a bottle. A lightning
dance closes this act and Jimmy
again comes to the front with a part
ner consisting of a life-sized stuiiea
doll.
A shot in the dark and then a
scared colored boy streaking across
the stage with a leg of a big white
chicken In his hand happily opens the
act of Lubin and Lewis, "two gentle
men of color." Songs and Jokes make
up the greater part of their reper
to ire.
The Hilton sisters prove popular In
songs which they put over in a good
manner. Sinclair and Gray In "a cycle
of youth" also prove popular.
Bert Lytell in "A Trip to Paradise,

The philosophy of opportunists was
discussed last nlgnt by Dr. Harold
Leonard Bowman, pastor ot the First
Presbyterian church, in a sermon on
"Opportunists in An Ethical World."
" 'If thou art the Son of God, come
down from the cross.' Many times
have we read these words without
comprehending the type of mind
which they reveal," he declared.
"People with this point of view have
been called 'opportunists.' They are
those Who belleVA in tAktnr nrivnn-
rtage of every circumstance or oppor
tunity to gain their own personal
ends.. Conduct is governed not by
principle but by self-gratifying op
portunity. The opportunist knows
no higher rule than expedience, no
governing principle save desire. He
cannot comprehend that there may
be moral considerations stronger
than Impulse, or lofty purposes which
can carry one through suffering.
wnicn mignt be avoided.
Taunt Reveals Phtlosonn-r.
"The tragic taunt hurled at Jesus
revealed a philosophy of life. Being
such men as they were, these enemies
Interpreted Jesus' submission to the
cross as a lack of power to escape
rather than a moral grandeur which
scorned easeful freedom.
"The opportunist Is with us today.
In business he seeks every avenue of
profit, regardless of right and wrong.
To his pleasure he brings no steady
ing purpose or highmlnded selfcon
siralnt. As a youth his conduct is
governed 'not by principle but by the
proximity of the chanerone. If his
married life becomes a bit unpleasant
ho seeks to escape it. If duty galls,
he discards it. He ever seeks every
opportunity 'for self-advancement, for
easy profit and sinful delight.
Right and" Wrong Eternal.
"But this is fundamentally an ethi
cal world. The principles of right
and wrong are not "ancient and out
worn." They are Inescapable, they are
eternal and they are regnant. And the
opportunist who Is so oblivious to
moral issues as to believe that the
opportunities for self-gratification
supersede morality is doomed to the
failure which, always awaits the one
who runs athwart the laws of God. -
"The moral purpose which carried
Jesus to the cross and sustained him
through all the torture, even though
he might have" chosen an easier way,
is the moral purpose which must ear
ly every Christian through the strain
of human activity, not following im
pulse or Inclination, not drifting with
popular sentiment, but adhering cease
lessly to the righteousness which is
from God."
PLEA FOR OPTIMISM MADE
Rev. Jacob Stocker Tells Ways to
Make World Better.
Rev. Jacob Stocker, pastor of the
Clay-Street Evangelical church.
spoke last night from the theme, "Is
the World Getting Better? What Are
You Doing to Make It" Better?"
When we look at our daily papers
we cannot help but see the murders,
robberies, divorces, holdups, Immor
alities, the desecration of the Sab
bath day, etc. Sin is here, he said.
but it will not do to dwell ex
clusively on this morbid picture. The
question Is: 'What are we doing to
get rid of It? To do nothing but
condemn the world and to do noth
ing to make it better will not help
us any. The world is bad, but what
it needs Is help to lead it out into
the light.
"The gospel is the agency to make
this a better world. The shepherds
on theV plains of Bethlehem lived In
a worse time than do we today, but
they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this
child. These shepherds were opti
mists; they were missionaries, and
they began to make the world better
by witnessing for Christ.
"Christian civilization is an agency
to make this a better world. The
order seems to be: First, the preach
ing of the gospel and then a Chris
tian civilization. You cannot divorce
the one from the other. The salva
tion of Christ is first for tke human
heart, and the change in that heart
will cause a change In the world.
Wherever the cross of Christ Is flung
Ulnto the sea of the world, darkness
has to flee and the light has to shine.
The purpose of God is to bring in
his kingdom and he uses Christian
men and women to do It. Where the
gospel goes, sickness flees and superstition-
takes its flight. We should
not bother ourselves whether the
world Is getting better or worse, but
we should do our bit to make It bet
ter as far as we are concerned."

Pastor Declares Disarmament Will
Lead to Era of Peace and Love.
Things Left Behind" was the
theme for'the Sunday morning ser
mon by Dr. Thomas Gallagher of the
Sunnyside Methodist church yester
day. "The Bible Is a book of life, full of
wisdom and cheer, and not a dead
book, as some believe." he said. "It
is a human book and full of Incidents
of life and a portrayal of the Inci
dents familiar to all of us. The fish
ermen. James and John, who left
their nets to follow Jesus, followed
the natural Inclinations of men who
saw the larger vision and oppor
tunity for helpfulness. They left be
hind the commonplace duties to pay
their debt to humanity and carry out
the divine purpose of making the
world better.
"The price we pay for life's best Is
painful separation. It is hard to
leave home, familiar faces and friend
ly environments to go out and take

Wave of Crime and Delinquency
Laid to Neglect by Citizens.
"The church with Its moral and re
ligious culture is the balance wheel
tt public welfare." declared Rev.
George H. Bennett, pastor of Fatton
Methodist church yesterday.
"The work of the school and church
are all Important In the welfare of
our community life," he said, "the
school very efficiently develops the
Intellectual side of life and prepare.!
he youth for the struggle for exist
ence; and the church endeavors to de
velop the moral and religious charac
ter so requisite to the best citizen
ship. Unless the moral culture keeps
pace with the Intellectual culture so
ciety will degenerate, as In the case
of many fallen kingdoms and empires,
past and present.
"The .church should, therefore, be
supported and maintained, especially
in our mixed population, and in this
critical period of reconstruction. Lax
ity and neglect are noticeable, how
ever, and the result cannot fail to be
harmful. The wave of crime and de
linquency Is a consequence of it. It
la not from design, but due merely
to allowing other things to intervene
which causes so many leaders in the
community life business and profes-I
sional men, tradesmen and society
folk,-to forget or ignore the vital im
portance of supporting the church, as
well as the school. This widespread
neglect is noticeable on the Sabbath.
They are conspicuous by their ab
sence from the place where are taught
the high moral laws, the place of
prayer and devotion.
"Right here many of our leading
citizens fail to some extent in their
patriotic duty. They expect, the church
to teach old and young the lessons in
righteousness, and shape moral senti
ment, and keep alive public cont
science but they do nothing to keep
the church alive. The school is main
tained by the unfailing public treas
ury but not so the church. The
church whose mission is to teach high
moral Ideals, quicken public opinion
and conscience on all moral issues,
and defend the very foundations of
our liberties. Is maintained by the
fitful contributions of the handful of
devout church adherents. A numer
ous body of church members pay
nothing. The church has n8 monled
endowment, and cannot assess its
membership like the lodge. Many ot
the churches in this city are now at
low ebb in attendance and financial
support.
"The ten commandments should be
posted on every cross roads; moral
rcience should be taught In all the
schools; all parents should teach these
principles in the home but since they
are not, it is the moral and patriotic
duty of people In all the walks of
Ufa to rally to the church, devote at
least one hour a week to life in the
beatitudes, and lead the youth In the
way of righteousness. True American
Ism demands it."
ROADS BUYING LUMBER
Several Large Orders Placed and
Inquiries Indicate Others.
TACOMA, Wash.. Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) The railroads are again In the
markets for large quantities of north
west lumber and Inquiries for several
large orders have been received by
local lumber manufacturers during
the past two weeks. The announce
ment recently made In the east that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway had let a contract for several
hundred new gondola cars was fol
lowed at once by an Inquiry for 5,000,
000 feet of car material to be used in
their manufacture. Most of this ma
terial will be furnished by northwest
mills located on t& line of the Mil
waukee.
The Chicago, Burlington A Qulncy
railway Is In the market for 2.000,00ON
feet of car material ana some rjriage
timber. The Northern Pacific rail
way has also issued an Inquiry for a
large amount of car siding which will
run to nearly 2,000,000 feet. The local
mills have also just received an in
quiry from the Oregon-Washington
Railway & Navigation company for
common lumber and car siding. This
inquiry is not large, but Is believed
to be th forerunner of larger orders.
The prospect of the railroad) be
ing again in the market for large
auantlties of lumber has caused a
perceptible stiffening in prices and
has offset the falling off In business
reported by the Northwest mills re
cently, Tacoma lumbermen say.
