Arguing from a negative premise, let me
Bay that White Whittlesey is not so, in
that phase of him which one sees amid
the disillusioning surroundings of a
stage, when once the "drop" is down. He
may be aware that he Is handsome and
fetching, but in the matter of his talents
he is, rara avis, a modest man.
The other night, when he was playing
Ulckle, Davis' pet huro in "Soldiers of

tine speech reciting Clay's very tine ad-

ceeded to divest himself of a dress suit
and don khaki for the melodramatic
fighting of an imaginary Central Ameri

"That domand for a speech almost
stumped me." said he. referring to the
outburst of enthusiasm on the part of the
audience, which resulted in a few words
of "Thank you. kind friends," from the
young star.

people seem to like the play, however, and

It will be noticed that Whittlesey said
"the play," and not "me," nor "my act

difficulty in getting him to talk about him
self. "Well, you see, I prefer 'Heartsease

Oregon Women's Chorus at Fair
The Ctinmlnndr t'lub, Soprano and Alto Voices, Mr. Edfrar E. Coursen,
Conductor, Arranging for BIb MuhIcuI Event That Will Bring Singers
Here From All Part of the State.
OF the many musical organizations
in Portland, none is more deserv
ing of encouragement and helpful rec
ognition than the Chaminade Club
of Women's Voices, under the leader
ship of Mrs. Edgar E. Coursen. The
accompanist is Mrs. Warren E. Thom
as, and the rehoarsals are held every
Thursday afternoon at o'clock in the
Sunday School room of Calvary Pres
byterian Church. The indications are
that tnc Chaminade Club will give a
Aooal concert early in July In the
Music Hall at the Licwts and Clark Ex
position, when the Portland members
will be reinforced by selected voices
from Salem. Eugene, Albany, Corvallis
and other Oregon towns. In other
words, the Chaminade Club is going to
grow Into an Oregon cnorus of wom
en's voloes. It will possibly be the
only chorus of trained women's voices
heard at the Exposition. Negotiations
an mw being carried on for the July
riicort with the Exposition manage
mt at.
The Chaminade Club was organized
last November by Mrj. Coursen. Be
fore members were admitted, they nud
to puss an examination us to the quali
ty of their voices and ability to read
music at sight. Rehearsals were be

by John Hyatt Brewer, the work being
a sonu; cycle of nigh merit.
Mrs. Coursen. the conductor of the
Chaminade Club, received her early
musioul training at tier home here in
Oregon, nud at tne age of 14 years was
:c! t to tho home of Mr. Brlggs, an
Englishman, well known in this sec
tion for nis musical ability. For four
;dirs she lived in his household, going
to bed at 9 P. M. and arising the next
morning at & o'clock. Time not re
quired for school was spent in the
study of the old masters Handel,
Haydn. Mozart, Bach. Rossini, Weber
and others. At the time it seemed a
hardship, but in after years. Mrs.
Coursen now admits, this training
proved to be a foundation that was of
Inestimable value to her as a teacher
and singer. Mrs. Coursen's career as
Charles 'Wagner's famous treatise, was hastily
written by Mr. Winslow and revised by Mr.
Dickson. t
Mary Mannerlng Is coon to return to the
stage In a new play by Paul M. Potter, who
"bas dramatized ""Nancy Stair." a new novel
by Eleanor Macartney Lane for Miss Manner
lng. It Is almost half completed, and will
have Its New York premier on the stage At
the Hudson Theater early in March. Re
hearsals will begin early next month. It will
be a four-act drama, and a much larger pro
duction than anything ever given to Miss
Mannerlng for a starring engagement. The
scenes are laid in and about Edinburgh in
17E8. There will be no dialect In the play, al
though Robert Burns will be one of the prin
cipal characters, and it will revolve about the
Scottish poet and the heroine, Nancy Stair.
The period and historic touches of the play
will allow for the quaint Scottish attire of the
period. There are 20 speaking parts, and Mr.
McKee Is engaging a strong company to sup
port the star.
Soon after the Iroquois Theater fire In Chi
cago Life published a striking and suggestive
cartoon showing the ext of a theater with
padlocked doors, through which smoke was
pouring, while women and children were strug
gling to escape. A figure of Death stood be
side the exit, and beneath the cartoon was
the Inscription, "Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger
present Mr. Bluebeard." "Mr. Bluebeard"
was the name .of the piece being represented
at the time of the fire.

was a libel upon them. Instituted a suit for
$100,000 damages against Life. The case came
up In the United States Circuit Court last
week before Judge Wallace and a Jury- The
evidence In the case was clear, the only ques

libelous character of the cartoon.
This question Judge Wallace, who preelded.
left to the Jury- After a consultation of five
minutes, the Jury decided that no libel had
been uttered, and rendered a verdict In favor
of Life.
guess It strikes the popular desire for
adventure. The average person has so
little in his life
that is away from
the humdrum that
he likes to read in
his books or see In
his theater the kind
of people who do
and are part of
stirring things. Not
many Americans
ever have the ex- ;
romance. That's the
reason, I think, why

By this time the
big Gibson chap
was drawing on
his tan riding boots
and while he antf
his dresser were sprinkling brownish
powder, the bust of Olancho, over his
clothes, wc chatted rapidly about
many things not pertaining to White
Whittlesey himself. I had much oppor
tunity to study him during this time, and
formed the opinion that he is almost an
Ideal pattern of the kind of acting men
the chocolate-eaters go wild over. Six
feet two or three, maybe more. In height,
broad-shouldered and long-limbed, a
graceful carriage, a face usually Impas

a voice with possibilities ranging from
whispering love tales to thundering mili
tary commands, making both equally ef
fective, and a genius for wearing any old
kind of clothes and wearing them well-
that is the irresistible combination, and
Whittlesey has It. It has done much for
him already, and will do more, for he has
sense and industry and ambition In addi
tion. When I finally got him on the subject
of himself he spoke

a choir singer extends over a period of
17 years, beginning while in her teens
as soprano in the quartet at the old
Trial ty Episcopal Cnurch. Sixth and
Oak streets. For tne next nine years
she was solo soprano at the First
Presbyterian Church, this city. Her
host of friends and admirers attest to
the worth of her. artistic ability. Shd
is an experienced choir director.
Those who heard the Chaminade
Club, say that the fine quality of the
singing has surpassed all expectations.
The choruses are attacked with a vigor
that is highly commendable, and the
members faithfully attend rehearsals.
At the same time It should be remem
bered that in order to make a woman's
vocal club the highest possible success,
vigilant care should be exercised in
the selection of voices, and that every
attention should be paid to the in
structions of the conductor.
A concert is promised by the club
early in April or May, and the present
time is a good opportunity for singers
to make application for membership.
These new members will be l.i
plenty of time for the concert In the
Spring, ond the committee on man
agement says that it will be easier
now to secure membership in the
Chaminade Club than afterwards.
Because the Portland women singers,
who will be members of the Oregon
chorus of women's voices that Mrs.
Coursen has planned, will be largely
selcctud from the personnel of the
Chaminade Club. The best singers
will be taken, and those who lag in
the work will fail to reach the goal.
Care will also be exercised in the se
lection of women's voices for the choir
from the upper towns of the Willam
ette Valley, as it is desired that this
Oregon chorus shall be the pick of
wdmen's voices in all Oregon.
It is also hoped that the Portland
singer will be the best part of the
Oregon chorus, as on them the most
of the work depends. It should be an
honor to belong to it, and Jill who
sing in the big Oregon chorus at the Ex
position will remember it for years as a
pleasant memory.
The Chaminade Club has undertaken
to carry out an ambitious project, and
Mrs. Coursen and the friends asso
ciated with her arc entitled to all pos
sible encouragement. The club takes

TAX ON' INSTJBJLNCE.
What the "Fraternal" Orders Say of
Thfilr Work.
SALEM. Or.. Jan.-. tTo" the Editor.)-In
The Oregonlan January 19 appears an editorial
entitled "A Tax on Prudence and Foresight."
IU purpose Is to discuss a bill before the Leg
islature to Increase the tax of life Insurance
companion. But The Orcgonlan also takes
occasion to ray;
"It Is noticeable, however, that ouch Insur
ance as persons of sound business Judgment
avoid such as that of 'fraternal' and bu-callt-d
'co-operative jcletlcs Is not to be
taxed at ulL"
There Is much argument to show why the
present cross earning tax of " per cent
should not bo Increased.
The sentence I have quoted Is construed by
a great many men who carry fraternal life
Insurance, myself among- them, as a gratuitous
and uncalled-for attack on fraternal Insur
ance, and 1 beg leave to express the following
views in defense:
From the records accessible we learn that
fraternal and co-operative life Insurance has
been in existence for the pat 3uo years; has
always been as reliable and responsible as Its
contemporary, the money-making Insurance
company, and that It has been Improved and
extended until now with Its modern methods
It. being in tho hands of the people, seriously
threatens to displace the old-line Insurance,
which Is In the hands of the trusts, to the
same extent and on the came principle us the
United States Postal Service has superseded
the original private transmission of mall.
You say the old-line companies already pay
taxea, while the fraternal Insurance orders
pay none. That Is true, and alto right.
Why? because our tax system alms to col
lect revenue from profits, on the theory that
property produces profit, and as a matter ot,
fact the fraternal Insurance orders have no
profit, and the old-line companies nave
enormous proats pouring Into already burst
ing coffers. The fraternal Insurance busi
ness Is conducted at actual coct for thr bene
fit of all Its members (over S.OuO.UX) mem born
In the United Stale?), the same as the V. &.
Postal Service Is conducted at cost for tan
benent of all the people; why then should
the fraternal insurance societies pay taxes
any more than should tho Postal Department?
The three largest llfo Insurance companies
of the United States now have assets amount
ing to over one billion of dollars. They claim
a cash surplus of nearly (Ju0.00U.O0O. while
their annual Income U approximately szyj.u!.
OOU. of which $50,000,000 U derived from In
vestments and J2UO.IXXJ.UOO comes from policy
holders In premiums. At least &0.ooO,UO0 of
this is profit, and It these three companies
bad all their property In the City of Port
land and were doing all their business here
their annual taxes would be 51.O00.UO0 per year
If they paid taxes at the same rate that
Portland business men do.
When you cay that "persons ot sound busi
ness Judgment avoid" fraternal lnauranee
perhaps you mean it as a huge Joke on our
legislators, for most of them, if not every
one. carry more or less fraternal Insurance,
Including Governor Chamberlain.
I do not claim to know very much about
fraternal insurance at large, bet speaking
as a Woodman ot the World I can say that
about halt our legislators. Including the Gov
ernor; also Sheriff Word and nearly all of
Portland's business men are numbered among
the ten thousand Woodmen policy-holders In
Oregon, and our Secretary of State Dunbar
bas over his own signature official! pro
nounced the Woodmen of the World as an
Insurance eoclety safe and "responsible."
The large old-line companies, which are
owned and controlled by Itockefeller. Morgan.
Rogers and other men who stand at the heads
of the worst and most Iniquitous moBopoJiew
of our time, arc constantly attacking the fra
ternal Insurance orders, goaded on by the
knowledge that the fraternal orders divert
large sums of profits away from their treas
uries which they might harvest If It were not
for the fact that out of the 314.000.000.000
in life Insurance written today in the United
States- almost half of It Is written In fraternal
and co-operative societies. These mulU-mlt-lionalres
reaping an annual harvest of mil
lions upon millions ot the people's money,
gate with envious eyes upon that other halt
of the lite Insurance business which they
would like to control, and Is it any wonder
then that they use every means obtainable
by the use of brains and money to discredit
the fraternal orders and get their bnilnen.
even to buying some newspapers and using
others as tools to achieve their ends!
As to safety and responsibility we e&ould
not overlook this; That the b'jjneaa meth

ders are entirely in the hands of its member,
who meet regularly to discuss Us affairs, and
their awets are always municipal bonds and
other like securities ot a nature impossible
to depreciate: while on the other hand the
control ot the old-line companies Is absolute
ly In the hands of the few money kings, the
policy-holders are helpless, and their assets
are mostly Invested in corporation stocks of
constantly fluctuating and ofttlmes largely
fictitious value.
I admit, of course, that there are a few fra
ternal Insurance societies whose method are
to be criticised. and( which are perhans un
safe, but the same observation also holds true
with regard to old-line companies.
In conclusion I beg to remind you of the
fact that while It Is conceded by the large
majority of intelligent men that fraternal
Insurance as a whole Is as safe and sane as
the old-line. It Is really far more necessary
to us as a people from the fact that at the
present rates any man who can afford to car
ry adequate Insurance In an old-Use com
pany Is wealthy enough so that his family
will not suffer If he dies, while the frater
nal Insurance is carried largely by men who
are able to leave nothing else to assist their
dear ones In the hour of their greatest dis
tress. B. K. KNAPP,

All this does not convince The Ore
