SAYS ANARCHISM HS FREEDOM BLOCK BRINGS BIG RENTAL A- COMMERCIAL- CItB BTJIXDIXG RETCRNS $18,500 XEI. - 10 POWERS9 Emma Goldman, Chief Expo nent of Cult in America, Here to Lecture. CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION She Tells of Difficulties That Beset Her Attempts to Speak in Other Cities and Says Doc trine Is Spreading. Emma Goldman, chief exponent of anarchism In this country, arrived In Portland yesterday from Ta-'oma and will deliver a series of five lectures in addition to her Initial discussion at Allsky Hall last night. The arrival of Miss Goldman in this city was not at tended by any unusual demonstration. There was no deputation of police at the depot to receive her, a small com pany of her followers serving: as a re ception committee. The anarchist leader was immediately escorted to the law offices of C. E. S., Wood, where she received a few callers and repaired to the home of a friend, Mrs. KathVyn Beck," 895 Harrison street, where she will be . a guest during her sojourn here. "Do not be alarmed, I have no dyna mite in my pocket and so far as I know thre Is. not so much as a firecracker in the house. Miss Goldman assured a representative of The Oregonian yes terday. "Education is the only bomb sanctioned by true anarchism, which etands for freedom in the truest and highest sense. That is my mission the education of the people to a right conception' of the advanced ideas and principles of anarchism. I am delight ed with the opportunity again to visit your city, my only regret being that my Itinerary should not bring me here the week of the Rose Festival, but I will make the most of the situation and appreciate to the fullest degree the wealth of roses as they unfold their beauty for the admiration of the thou sands of visitors next week. American by Adoption. "Although not a native of this coun try, I have lived here so long that I con sider myself by adoption an American, but I do not believe that one's friend ship and devotion to a country should blind him to its faults. That is my posi tion and explains what many consider a too severe criticism of this country and existing conditions from me. Believing in tne luuest degree of Individual liberty. 1 am opposed to all forms of government and restraint of the Individual. Anarch ism teaches and maintains that man brings out the best in htm under perfect freedom and not under restraint. I am convinced that law does not conduce to progress and advancement. This has been demonstrated, by history, which shows that the less law we have the fewer crimes there will be; the more law the greater amount of crime. "America was at one time the most free of all of the countries of the world hut legislation and the interpretation of laws in Supreme Court decisions show unmistakably a strong tendency by the Government towards imperialism. Laws and the decisions of the courts are re sulting in the further abridgment of the rights of the individual and all in the Interest of one class of society. Anarch ism as we teach it does not ad vocate or tolerate violence, but it docs declare for the right of rebellion a provision wisely incorporated in the constitution of the country. When the Government becomes too oppressive to a people, they are entitled to rise up and overthrow It. Anarchists are students of social conditions, and instances in which violence is resorted to are -the inevitable result of oppressive social conditions. "The fundamental remedy for the con dltions of which we complain is for t linger education of the people, for i wider personal liberty. Education is the rii-st essential step towards accomplish ing any change In society and particu larly for demanding greater individual liberty. We advocate a more conscious and Intelligent method of organizing the masses through the agency of trades unions. Events Cause Spread of Doctrine. "Events of the last few years have contributed materially to the further spread of our teachings. That there la an increased interest in our work throughout the country is manifested is and in the increased demand and sale of literature treating with the subject of anarchy. It is true our meetings are more largely attended, but I do not consider that in itself indicative of a growth of public sentiment in our favor. The increased sales of our lit erature, however, furnish positive proof that the people of this country are thinking. Besides, a larger num ber of people are volunteering their services actively to spread the propa ganda of anarchism. The Industrial depression of last Fall had the effect of making many susceptible to a pres entation of our doctrine. "Probably no other one thing has done more to bring the teaching of an archism to the attention of the people than the attitude of the authorities in the different large cities In their ef forts to suppress our work of educat ing the masses. Particularly was this true in Chicago, where for three weeks we were, unable, for any amount of money, to rent a hall in which to hold lectures. Finally, I undertook to make an address in connection with a concert, only to be forcibly dragged from the platform and denied the privilege of speaking. This treatment aroused much feeling, not alone among the anarchists, but among those who are opposed to the suppression of free speech. "In San Francisco, while I had no great trouble in finding a hall in which to lecture, I was constantly under the nurveillance of 150 policemen, who at tended every lecture. Four detectives were detailed personally to attend me, and I was guarded night and day, even being accompanied by one of these bodyguards whenever I went shop ping or attended the theater. But 1 was allowed to conduct my meetings without any disturbance from the au thorities. I suppose these unusual pre cautions were taken because of the fact that the fleet of battleships was at San Francisco, but even then, I can not see. for the life of me. why such steps should have been resorted to." Has Talked Anarchism 18 Years. deal Miss Goldman has been engaged act- ivcly as a lecturer of anarchism and its teachings for the last IS years. 'I have been charged improperly with being asso ciated with the Haymarket riot in Chi cago, when at that time I was but a young girl." explained Miss Goldman. Vf - V "LITTLE MISS EGBERT, WHO GAVE AW INTERESTING PROGRAMME AT THE P ATT ON HOME TEA. Miss Marguerite Egbert had entire charge of the programme for the May tea at the Patton Home. The older people might well take notes from the ease and grace with which little Miss Egbert managed her forces. She showed great skill and adaptability in her own work, and all of her delightful little workers gave an afternoon of great pleas ure to the audience. The following programme was assisted by Mrs. A. C. Barber, who gave a vocal solo in a charming manner. She is the possessor of a beautiful voice. Miss Jule Oliver's piano solo showed technique and breadth of tone. Miss Francisco Bliss, vlollniste, played with remarkable smoothness. Miss Eva Vose's piano solo called forth several encores. Perhaps the most unique feature was the singing of "The Holy City" by a tiny tot of five years with a wonderful voice, little Levina Lund, a pupil of Professor Yoder. The Misses Melba and Florence Westeringard, In their violin and piano solos, showed much skill and excellent training. Professor Yoder and Miss Ruth Routledge, his pupil, gave a very brilliant rendition of a duet. Master Reinhardt Brock appeared in a vocal solo and Master Hugh McKinney also sang a solo in a pure soprano voice. Miss Egbert's readings aroused a great -deal of favorable discussion and were most enthusiastically received by those present. ... "However, I will say that it was the execution of the Chicago anarchists that aroused me to an active Interest in the social conditions of this country. I im mediately began to study industrial con ditions, and a few years later took the lecture platform, where I have been work in ever since, at the same time directing the publication of my magazine, Mother Earth." Since visiting Portland last Summer, Miss Goldman attended a conference of anarchists at Amsterdam, Holland, in August, and afterwards spent several weeks lecturing in Paris and London, be fore returning to her home in New York City. She renewed her lecturing ' tour early in February. From Portland she goes to Spokane and Butte and thence to points further East, completing a cir cuit of the United States before return ing to New York. Miss Goldman has ac cepted an invitation to visit Australia on a lecturing tour, but will not leave this country until after the Presidential elec tion next November. Miss Goldman will deliver two lectures today, at 2 and 8 P. M., in Merrill's Hall. She will also lecture at 8 P. Tuesday and Wednesday, in Third and Morrison streets. At the Women's Union. Miss B. Minerva Gleason was the guest of Miss L. Dimick at lunch on Sunday. Miss Audrey Markley, of Dee, arrived In the end of the week and will make her home here. Miss Nettie M. Buck, of Hood River, was the guest of Miss Anna Fowler, over Friday night. 1 Miss Louise Knutsen returned on Wed nesday from Astoria, where she had been making a two weeks' visit to her home.

Good Figure Induces Board of Gov ernors to Lease Room That Was) Intended for Exhibit. The governors of the Commercial Club have decided to lease the room in the southeast corner on the ground floor of . the new Commercial Club building to a local fuel company. An exceptionally good ofTer has been made the club and the management has de cided it i too good to decline and will accept-it. The rent offered is $21,000 for Ave years, or $330 a month. It was the intention of the Comrfrer cial Club to use the room for -a per manent exhibit of Oregon products and steps had been taken by Manager Rich ardson to collect samples of products of various kinds grown all over the state. But when the tempting offer to lease the room was made, It was de cided to postpone the collection of a permanent exhibit until some such time as suitable quarters for its display can be had. The lease of this room is considered a splendid indication of better times. The big figure paid for it mean that con fidence is returning and that business men are willing to pay good rentals for suitable locations and are not hanging on to old locations because they, are afraid to venture to branch out In new quarters. With the rooms already rented in the Commercial Club building, the club will realize $18,500 a year net, after all in- terest on bonds, maintenance charges, taxes, insurance, etc., are paid. There are some quarters in the club's building still vacant and when these are rented, an even better showing will be made. This highly satisfactory condition means that within a few years, as rents advance in that district, the club will see its way clear to pay off the .bonds on the building and own outright very valuable property in the heart of the business district. The board of governors will hold their regular weekly meeting at lunch eon tomorrow noon and it is expected that there will be a full attendance of the board. They adjourned their meet ing last Monday noon because it was opening day at the new club, but con vened again on Tuesday, when there were 53 applications for membership presented. There are now on file more than 60 applications. Tomorrow's meet ing of the board will be the laat to be held this month, but all applications for membership coming before them with a May date will be considered at the next regular meeting, Monday, June 1. The board of governors is anxious to have the membership of the club ex ceed 1300 on June 1. making the Port land organization one of the greatest organized commercial bodies in the world. There has been no campaign for members, and the club's growth speaks eloquently of the growth of the M. Monday, Allsky Hall, city and the Pacific Northwest. "Many of the prominent residents of the state outside oft- Portland are be coming non-resident members of the Commercial Club," said Manager Tom Richardson. "They feel that It is to their advantage to have a Portland connection of this kind, and during the last few days there have been repre sentative business men from almost every community In this etate and throughout the Northwest, enjoying the hospitality of the club and Joining with their Portland friends in the triumph that has been achieved."

LONDON, May 16. The death has just been announced of a Stroud centenarian the third within a year in the person of David Howell, who had reached the age of five score years and two. Unfortu nately, his end was a sad one. Inasmuch as he had to be removed at the latter end of March, on the anniversary of his birth, to the Stroud Workhouse Infirmary, suffering from gangrene. He was born at Nymphsneld, near Stroud, in 1806. and there he attended Echool and worked on a farm for some years. He was then employed for a time at Knapp farm, Stroud, and subsequently he went to the Priory farm, Stanley, near Stroud, where he worked for 30 years under ace employer and 30 years under - Room Furniture THERE'S A REASON for these big reductions.
