THE MORNING OREGONIAX, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1923 13 n fti inn fUHIUU 0W1GT0I Programme by Lodges Is Strictly Patriotic. HUNDREDS AT MEETING! Judge Tucker, Judge Stapleton and George L. Rauch Speak on . Father of Country. Hundreds of members of the Wash ington Masonic lodges of Portland, with their wives and families, com memorated the birthday anniversary of George Washington, a master IMason, at an open meeting held in the hall at East Eighth and Burnside streets last night This was in keep ing with the custom of the Washing ton lodge, Commandery chapter and Eastern Star, established a number of years ago. The programme was strictly patri otic and the speakers Judge Robert Tucker, Judge George W. Stapleton end George L. Rauch dealt with the 'life ot Washington as a Mason. "George Washington was made a Mason at Fredericksburg, Va., re mained such to his death and was considered the Ideal American Mason," declared Judge Stapleton. Masons' Activities Recalled. "The Boston tea party was com posed of members of St. Andrew's lodge of Boston. Paul Revere, that famous ride of revolutionary history, and the man who set the beacon light in the tower of the old church were Maons. Fifty of the 66 signers ot the Declaration of Independence were Masons, as well all but four of the members of the constitiional convention. At the time Washington took his oath on the historic Bible of St. John's, all of the governors of the 13 states were Masons. Our first Hag was made by Betsy Ross, the widow of John Ross, a Mason. This country was founded by Masons upon Masonic principles. "Free speech, free religious thought and free schools were gifts of the Masonic order to America and) all these were opposed by anti-Masonic institutions of the time. "In peace or in war the Masonic order is a leader. Washington and his entire staff of generals werei Ma tons. ' Harding, a Mason, leading the nations of the world to permanent peace." More Activity Advocated. George L. Rauch, who followed Jud'ge Stapleton, declared! that the Masonic institutions1 of the country Bhould make themselves more active In civic affairs and should, stand more ardently for the enforcement of laws and for the establishment and keeping of the principles upon which the order was founded. In his remarks as chairman, Judge Tucker paid glowing tributes' to the work of Washington in establishing the Masonic fraternity more strongly In the affairs of the nation. The musical programme consisted of numbers' by the Eurydice club, a women's organization, and the Port land Eight, a double quartet. WASHINGTON'S IDEALS LACDED Sons of American Revolution Pay Tribute at Birthday Dinner. Speakers drew striking contrasts between the humble start in America and the great (nation she now is stressing the part she will be called upon to play in the new role of inter national leader, at the annual dinner of the Sons of the American revolu tion, held in the main dining hall of the University club last evening. The dinner was well attended, the Aining room being filled to capacity. Before being seated, the diners sang "America," after which B. B. Beak man, president of the society, toast master, proposed a silent toast to George Washington. At the conclusion of the dinner, Toastmaster Beekman made a brief speech in which 'he portrayed Wash ington and' Lincoln, saying that America did these two, men honor, not because we are a nation of hero worshipers, but because we always have and always will honor the good and the great. Dr. Richard F. Scholz, president of Reed coUege, was introduced. He spoke, at length on the subject of "Washington and the American Tra dition." He said America should pre serve her early ideals and constantly build new ones, ever striving to reach those ideals which she cast for her self. "The government meians the people and the people mean the government, that is what we hold to here in America," said Dr. Scholz. Again he eaid, "Democracy Is a recent struc ture we are still building it." He pointed out that wars are not merely destructive, but are constructive, cerving ever to knit the. world more closely into one great unity. Where war is. for tha purpose of being a servant or Justice, it is right, he. said; otherwise it has no right to be. "We in America must get the big ger perspective in order to gTow. Sometimes we arei prone to over-rate intelligence and under-rate character. Our work Is to make men and women fit for freedom." Dr. Scholz concluded by saying that the foundation for a true democracy, spelled with a small "d," was a- real ization that we are all different. De mocracy is spiritual not a contriv ance, he pointed out. Professor Alfred E. Zimmeirn, for merly connectedi with Oxford univer sity and later with the University of Wales, was another speaker. Profes sor Zimmern is at present lecturing in American colleges on "The Present International Situation," and chose that as the subject of his speech. "Washington had two objects In view," said he. "The first was to dis entangle the new settlement from the old world, wLth its maze of politics and Intrigue, and the second was to build a new democracy. "In the second object he succeeded well and we in Europe regard the present American government as the most remarkable achievement of its kind In the world." He expressed, the hope that Washington's first object s brought about by closer harmonl sation throughout the whole world. In conclusion Mr. Beekman . intro duced Dr. Hung of the University of Pekta. who spoke briefly regarding China's new era and the Pacific and International situation. Several songs were interpolated be tween the epeeohes by a trio com posed of Ernest Crosby, T. H. Will lams and Walter Hardwack. Ralph Hoyt was the accompanist at the piano. The dinner closed with the singing of "The Star-Spangled Ban ner."

Circle Herbert Rawllnson, "The Millionaire." AIL THE WOMAN," now at the' Liberty, is a picture to renew one's faith in motion pictures. It is as fine as anything that Thomas H. Ince has ever done. It is his answer to "the public's demand for bigger and better pictures" and the public should be thoroughly sat isfied with it. The story shouts the emancipation of woman. It contrasts the woman w.ho allows herself to be imposed upon with the woman who fights for her rights. This may not seem to be a particularly new idea, but is pre sented in such a dramatic way by Mr. Ince that it can satisfy the demand of the most varied group of Jaded film fans. "Hail the Woman" has a heart throb and a tear drop every inch of the way, it plays upon the emotions with complete abandon and it Is an all-around excellent photoplay. Florence Vxdor assumes the role of the strong-minded girl who frees herself from the bigotry and narrow ness of a small town and a fanatical parent and learns to find real happi ness in being human, rather than re ligious. Madge Bellamy is seen as a less fortunate creature, a little girl set adrift in the streets with her baby. There is a sweet little old mother, who has held her peace so long that it is not until almost the final scene that she defies her hus band. There are many other interest ing 'characters, all well drawn, all showing human traits. The acting is all praiseworthy, but the outstandig individual work is ac complished by Madge Bellamy, who reveals great sensitiveness and depth TOILEY SEES FAILURE NON-PARTISAX LEADER FLAYS TACTICS OF FOLLOWERS. Rascals and Incompetents Hurt Organization and Practical Pol itics Held Lacking. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 22. In a speech which occupied three hours, A. C. Townley, national president, told the Nebraska nonpartisan league state convention here tonight that the tac tics now pursued by the league make impossible any lasting or substantial victory and that until the fight can be shifted from the league itself noth ing can be won. He said, the thing to do is to play practical politics. He said he was forced to this conclusion by the fact that in the first place the league can not win the offices; secondly, if they do win them they cannot hold them, and that, lastly, "too many rascals and incompetents were put into office by the league." He said the league began its exist ence by saying It would have no deal ings with the politicians. "It went out In the woods and got some mighty green timber, some of which afterwards proved pretty rot ten, and tried to train it to play poli tics against professionals," saidTown ley. I have come to the conclusion that the thing the politicians want most the office is the cheapest thing we can give them. The power of our programme is not possession of the offices, but in the minds of the people. So far as I am concerned, the men we brought from the woods as green timber can go back. The league found itself worse off when it got its own men into office, because they were utterly untrainecfand some of us were unable to train them be cause we did not ourselves know prac tical politics or state-craft." The speech of Mr. Townley was the feature of the convention. The inno vations he proposed occasioned lively comment by delegates following his departure for North Dakota. At a late hour tonight the convention ad journed without having completed its programme. Silas A. Wright. HERPNER, Or.. Feb! 22. (Special.) -SilasA.

"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" is a distinct departure from the conven tional in the film art.. Even the back grounds, the costumes, the atmos phere is changed. It is a futurist or cubist picture, in which the producers take advantage of futurist seetings to introduce the atmosphere desired. Bill Hart's latest picture of the west, "Travelln' On," has been booked for showing at the Majectie, to com mence March 4.

KENT WINS DOG DERBY ' v CHAMPION DEFENDS TITLE IN HEAVY SNOWSTORM. Prime Examples of Grit and En durance Furnished by Only Woman Contender in Race. ASHTON, Idaho, Feb. 22. Driving through a heavy now storm which late in the afternoon turned to a bliz zard, while the .mercury sank .to, the zero mark, Tud Kent, American cham pion, successfully defended his title in the American dog derby here today against a field of eight contenders, including one woman. Kent's time was 2 hours 35 minutes and the distance covered 25 miles. Second in the classic was William Kooch, who finished in 2 hours 45 minutes, while George Pilcher came in tmrd in Z hours 49 minutes. Kent furnished the first big thrill of the derby when he was the first man to finish the first lap, in which he started third. Getting away ten minutes behind Rav Sm-ae-ue. first man off, and five minutes behind A. B. Carter, who started second, .Kent passed both of these in the first lap of the race and was first back into Ashton in the phenomenal time of 45 minutes for 8 1-3 miles. This, considering that the winner had unbroken trails to contend with for a great part of the lap, is regarded here as a remarkable performance. Kent's time in the first lap was the best time made by any driver. Prime examples of grit and endur ance were furnished by Lydia Hutch ison, the 20-year-old contender, who drove the entire 25-mile course and finished in a state of exhaustion, and by 14-year-old Olcott Zarn. - Miss Hutchison was placed under the care of a physician immediately upon ner arrival irom the race course. Too wearied even to care for her dogs. she was lifted from her sled by friends ana carried away. Her first lap was made 20 minutes behind Kent. but. be ing unable to run through the deep snow and thereby reBt Jier dogsi as the men contenders could do. Miss Hutchi son rode every inch of the 25 miles, a performance regarded as an amazing achievement. .Her time was a little more than three hours. Young Zarn drove a racing team over the entire course, finishing rourtn. AGED SISTERS BURIED One 02, Other 85, Interred Side by Side at Riverside, Cal, RrVERSIDE, Cal., Feb. 22.

TAXES CAUSE OF EDICT Property of Canadian Settlement to Be Liquidated nd Survivors ' Will Become AVanderers. VANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. 22. Peter Veregin, head of the Russian religious sect known as the doukhobours, to day confirmed reports that he had suggested a plan whereby the chil dren of the colony under 10 years of age, together with the aged and infirm, be drowned as a protest against alleged exorbitant taxation. Once rid of those unable to travel, Veregin proposed that his followers abandon their farms and wander over the country, preaching the com ing of Christ and living aa the "va grant working class." While announcement of the plan was made by M. Koftinoff, head of the sect in British Columbia, Mr. Veregin, in a telegram to the Cana dian press, declared that "it had my complete sanction." , Property to Be Liquidated. Koftinoff aserted that a mass meet ing of members under his Jurisdiction had indorsed the suggestion that they liquidate all their property. Commit tees, he said, would dispose of all houses and stock, if the proposal was carried out, and members of the tribe would again become wanderers over the earth. Koftinoff admitted that the pro posal to drown the young and infirm probably would meet with objection on the part of the women members of the colony. He declared that the government is "laying a press" upon the Doukho hours from all sources and that the Christian community of universal brotherhood, as members of the sect describe themselves, paid more than their share through building and im proving roads in their colonies. Taxation Declared Ruinous. In the last 15 years, he said, Douk hobours had built 1100,000 worth of roads, paid 150,000 n taxes and re ceived only about $5000 in returns. It is estimated that there arc 9000 members of the colony in Canada, most qf whom are located in small groups in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. They migrated from Russia in 1895, following per secution by Cossack soldiers in the reign of Czar Nicholas II. Since coming to Canada members of the sect have had frequent clashes with government officials, chiefly over taxes, school laws and military service.
