WASHINGTON. D. C, July 9.-
(Special.) Announcement has just
been made by the national woman's
party of the formation of an ac
tresses' committee, headed by Mra
Minnie Jladdern Fiske, which re
veals the fact that many actresses
are finding- in politics a lure almost
equal to that; of .the stage.
Forsaking the footlights, many
former etars would rather scintil
late and dilate upon, party platforms
than to glitter upon the histrionic
boards. Some are seeking office
and others as stump speakers are
dazzling audiences with their bril
liant exposition of party politics.
Others still remaining in the the
atrical profession are making of
politics an avocation.
In the latter group is Mrs. Fiske
herself. She will not only .partici
pate In the general activities of the
woman's party but will speak of the
work before clubs in the various
towns visited by her company during-
the theatrical road season.
Professions Dovetail Nicely.
Mary Garden, erstwhile manager
t the tempestuous Chicago Opera
company, win neaa tne singers
committee of the woman's party and
Madame Olga Petrova also will take
an active part in the work of the
organization.
It seems that the two professions
stage and politics dovetail very
nicely. In the summer time, when
political campaigns are in full
swing, the theatrical business is
dulL In midwinter, with the the
atrical season at its height, politics
is in the doldrums. Many actresses
are inclined to regard their experi
ence on the stage as merely an ap
prenticeship to a career in politics.
Where before they have merely re
peated lines from a play, they find
that in politics they can use all their
acquired nerve and fire and elo
quence of diction in expounding
their own political thoughts and in
making Fourth of July orations.
An actress need not wait, either,
until she becomes too passe for the
stage. Mrs. Izetta Jewel Brown, a
former stage star-who would rather
shine in congress than twinkle in
the theatrical firmament," is a young
and charming widow. She recently
announced her candidacy for the
democratic senatorial -nomination in
West Virginia.
Jolt Coming for Some.
Upon hearing of her candidacy
one of the old capital residents Who
remembered her when she led a
stock company in Washington shook
his head pitiyingly and remarked:
"And if she wins, how will those
poor senators keep tlieir minds on
their work?"
Adelaide Thurston is another star
who as a stump speaker for the re
publican national committee is mak
ing a tremendous hit. Miss Thurs
ton is done with the stage and is
devoting all her time to politics.
She says of her change of career:
"I left the world of make-believe
to enter a world of reality and find
it far more 'stimulating and inter
esting." The late Lillian Russell (Mrs. A.
P. Moore), received an important
political appointment just a little
while before her death. She was on
her way back from Europe, where
she had been sent by President
Harding to investigate the human
side of the immigration problem at
the ports of embarkation when she
had a fall which resulted eventually
in her death. Mrs. Moore took a
prominent part in the Harding cam
paign. . ' - -Trainlns

Both of the two rival women's
political organizations the national
woman's party and the league of
women voters are vying with each
other in their efforts to secure the
services of well-known women of
the stage. Their training, it- is
realized by the leaders of women in
politics, make them invaluable if
they can be enthused over issues.

t
ATLANTIC CITT, N: J.. July 9.
(Special.) "Hello, Bill" Atlantic
City, gaily festooned in purple and
white bunting, is extending this
symbolic greeting to the anilered
herd which is invading the resort
for the sessions of the grand lodge
of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, which are to open
tomorrow night on the steel pier. (
The vanguard, some 10,000 strong,
has taken possession, of the city.
Their numbers are being constantly
augmented and by Thursday grand
lodge officers predict that 50,000
members will be here to take part
in the street parade, which will con
clude the convention.
Every few minutes a new parade
forms along the boardwatlk and dis
perses after marchnig to the music
of its band. Each train arriving
here is met by the reception com
mittee of the local lodge with their
band and mounted patrol.
All of the officers of the grand
lodge are at their headquarters in
the Hotel Traymore. William Wal
lace Mountain, grand exalted ruler,
has been here with his staff for the
last three days. Grand Secretary
Red Robinson of Chicago, who has
held the post for 18 years, today
said the membership is now 850,000,
and before another year he expects
it to pass the million mark.
increasing tne scope or tne Dig-
brother" movement is to be dis
cussed at the convention. There are
to be no resolutions touching on
political matters, not even the ques
tion of modifying the Volstead act,
as the order believes such questions
should be acted upon by the indi
vidual rather than the organization.
A delegation of 50 members of
congress, including "Uncle .Joe"
Cannon, will arrive Wednesday or
Thursday.
One of the striking facts about
the convention this year is the ab
sence of any campaigning. It is in
dicated that J. Edgar Masters of the
Charieroi, Pa., lodge is to be unani
mously elected grand, exalted ruler.

was no way in which the fire could

A call was sent to the Portland

there was no water available and
also because it was outside the city

The building was a two-story

WASHINGTON,. D. C, July 9.
(Special.) As previously predicted
in these dispatches, the direct pri
mary is blamed today for all the
evils of popular government.
There is delay in the senate in
passing the tariff bill. The .primary
system is responsible.
i There is lack of cohesion in the
senate. . The primary ia to blame.

Old-Timers Swept Out.
Old-time wheelhorses, or repub
licans, are being swept out of office
and independent progressives or
radicals are in line to take their
place. The primary.
President Harding declares there
are too many sopranos in public life.
Why the sopranos? , The primary.
Wherever one turns in Washing
ton today in search of the whys and
wherefores, the result is always the
same the primary. Like the New
England innkeeper, the .primary has
been so cussed and discussed of late
it has hardly a leg to stand on.
The president has said that he
wished all who wear the tag of re
publican in public life really had th
interest of the party at heart. But
he knows they haven't and therein
lies, unquestionably, many difficul
ties of the national government to
day. Party Discipline Broken.
Whether or not the direct primary
is bringing government closer and
closer to the people, of the people
and for the people, remains to be
seen, but there is no doubt that the
primary is responsible for the break
down' of old-time party discipline.
The reason for this is perfectly
plain. , f
A man runs for the republican
nomination for 'the United States
senate in a state that is normally
republican, .by something like four to
one. He knows nomination is
equivalent to election: In his fight
for the nomination he does not have,
or at least is -not supposed to have
the support of the republican organ
ization. The primary being a fight
within-the jfarty it is supposedly a
go-asTyou please contest with good
luck to all and, the devil take the
hindmost.
Victors Feel Independent.
Theoretically, therefore, the even
tual nominee is not supposed to
have had the support of the "organ
ization" and consequently he is
under no obligation to the organiza
tion. The fact that later he is elect
ed to office makes no impression be
cause he knows that any republican
nominated at the primary would
have had the same easy victory at
the election polls.
Taking his place in the august
upper chamber of congress at Wash
ington, the senator chosen under
these circumstances has the right to
feel that his real victory was a per
sonal victory the success at the
primaries. Therefore he feels no
particular fealty to the chairman of
the republican state committee at
home, nor does he feel under par
ticular obligations to the national
committee which did nothing at all
to help him win the fight to run as
a republican. . .
Harding for Old System.
President Harding believes in the
old system of nomination and that
old system of party loyalty. There
are many thoughtful observers who
agree with him absolutely. They
feel that orderly government cannot
exist without that party loyalty
which leads to concerted party ac
tion. The American government has
grown up and, prospered under party
control, they point out, and not
under group domination a domina
tion which the. president deeply de
plored. The independent republicans,
brought to the fore by the primary
system, are coming more and more
into national political prominence,
however, and party leaders feel their
grip slipping just at a most crucial
moment in the new administration.
The primary is to "blame" but it Salem's postofflce employes held

TWO FIGHTERS JAILED
Fistic Encoanter at .Salem Is In
terrupted by Officers.
SALEM, Or., July 9. (Special.)
Following a fistic encounter which
lasted several minutes and during
which five shots were fired, Verden
Moffitt, chief of police, and George
White, patrolman, late last night
arrested "Cul" Riessbeck and Ches
ter Foster.
Both men permitted themselves to
be searched, but later broke away
and started to run. Officer White
overtook Foster, but he was not
subdued until the patrolman, brought
his club into action. Chief Moffitt,
who pursued Riessbeck, was com
pelled to empty his revolver before
he brought his man to a halt. The
officers confiscated a pint bottle of
liquor.
Marion Peach Harvest to Start.
SALEM, Or., July 9. (Special.)

made today. The peach crop for
this year was said to- be neavy, ana
the quality of the fruit is higher

Judge Ordered to Camp.
Pursuant to orders received from
Camp Lewis, Wash., Judge Kanzler
of the court of domestic relations
left Portland yesterday noon for
a two-weeks' service in the reserve
officers' training camp at the mili
tary post. About 100 other Port
landers, all members of the reserve
officers' corps, also expect calls. Due
to congressional delay in providing
appropriations for the reserve
camps, local reserve officers had
formed the opinion that there would
be no camp this year. Judge Kanz
ler's call was totally unexpected.
According to information which he
received from Camp Lewis, the 1O0
other local men will be called in a
few days. During the judge's ab
sence routine affairs of the juve-
nile court will be handled by Theo
dore J. Hewitt, chief probation officer.

the shop crafts are striking. '
"Regardless of any question of the right of the men to strike, the men who take
' the strikers' places are merely accepting the wages and working conditums prescribed
by a government tribunal and are performing a public service. They re not accept
ing the wages and working conditions which an employer is trying to impose. FOR
