W3EN most of the theatrical stars are enjoying a long Summer rest, Mar garet Anglln, on the other hand. Is engaged upon a prolonged and compre hensive tour which has taken her clear across the continent to California and thence up the coast to Western Canada, through the Northwestern States and on to the South. This will occupy her time until Thanksgiving. The average star would consider this tour a good season's work, but Miss Anglin is undertaking It after having already put in a season of 33 weeks. Miss Anglln laughingly ex plains this prolonged season by the fact that last year she enjoyed a holiday of 10 months. Miss Anglln works as stren uously as she plays. But the actress who will come to this city next week In "The Awakening of Helena Ritchie," does not intend to make her tour of the West all work. For the purpose of exercise she will continue th course of physical culture In which she has been indulging during the Winter and will carry with her the teacher who has been training her and her sdster, who is her traveling companion. In addition, her agent arranges for Miss Anglln to use local golf courses in the cities where she plays, and as a further relaxation she takes along her automobile, in which she will travel from city to city on the Pacific Slope all Summer. By this means she hopes to minimize the fatigue of acting through the hot weather and at the same time deceive herself into the belief that she is enjoy ing a holiday. NEWS AND GOSSIP OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS EDITED BT LKO.IK CASS BAKU. The Green Book Album for next month prints an article covering sev eral pages relative to that well-liked leading woman, Cathrlne Countiss, who for several seasons was identified with the Baker Company. She is re ferred to as "one of the younger gen eration of actresses." The article also says "If ambition and determination, plus loyalty and a disregard for hard work count for anything In a stage career, then the name of Cathrine Countiss is destined to be written in large letters ere many more seasons have disclosed themselves." The writer goes- on to .lament that Miss Countiss should "have been forced to do her best work in comparatively obscrue sec tions." So I take it she didn't do her "best" when here for Portland and its theater-loving folk Is not by any means "obscure." Since leaving Portland Miss Countiss has appeared with Ralph Stuart in "The Christian." with Lillian Russell as Fernando in "Barbara's Mil lions," with Mary Shaw as Vivle War ren in "Mrs. Warren's Profession" and with Robert Edeson in "The Offenders." Following this, she created the role of Mrs. Howard Jeffries in "The Third Degree," although she gave it up before it reached New York. Between seasons, she headed various stock companies, several of them her own, one in Den ver and again at Grand Rapids, Mich. Last season, she made the hit of her career as Felice in "The Watcher" at the Comedy Theater, New York. Says the Green Book: "It was an excellent piece of acting, but, unfortunately, two short weeks was all the play survived in New York. But Miss- Countiss had received her first fair hearing, she more than proved equal to it, and it should be the forerunner to future chances. This present Summer she again headed her own stock com pany in Grand Rapids, Mich., increas ing her repertoire by a dozen new roles." Some students from an Eastern col lege en route to Berkeley, Cal.. to see' Margaret Anglin present Antigone in the Greek theater there, decided in stead to stop off at Reno and see the pugilistic combat. After all is said and written, civilization seems to be a superficial thing at best, when it Is put to the test of an appeal to the prim itive roan. The Czar of Russia evidently reads the American newspapers. Witness the fact that he refused Oscar Hammerstein ad mission into Russia, and figure that it could only have been because he feared the wily Oecar would deplete the empire of stars. It Is announced that M. Le Bargy, the distinguished actor whose rupture with the Comedle Francaise caused a one-day sensation in Paris recently will enter Into partnership with Mme. Sarah Bern hardt at the end of the year. As asso ciates of the French National Theater are not allowed to act at any other Paris theater, it Is anticipated that pro ceedings will be taken by the Comedie Francaise against M. Le Bargy. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt and the late Cequelin both have had lawsuits with the Theater Francaise in similar circumstances. .Kolb and Dill, the' comedians, are to separate and appear next year as inde pendent producers. Someone has compiled the information that the Paris theatrical season. Jft closed, was the most euccessful one in history, excepting only that of the exhibi tion year. Music halls and theaters ex cluding the subsidized houses, have taken in the vast sum of io.O0O.O0O. If the same person who evolved these statistics f0,KW. 2'f .Ki0n'PUt.e the "ount con tributed to this total by American tonrists and sojourners and students, the figures would cause some surprise, no doubt. Miss Marlon Barney, tor a brief while a member of the Baker Stock Company three or four seasons ago, malo j,. vaudeville debut In Boston last week in a Frohman sketch called "Ashes of Roses." (Sounds like the color of a dress described In the society columns, doesn't it?) Miss Barney has this past season been leading woman with the Orpheum Players, a stock company in Philadelphia. . If all stars were as thoughtful of their supporting company as Bertha Kallch the resulting work of the entire organization would be far more conscientious if not more satisfying. Mme. Kallch has sum moned the company which will, be asso ciated with her next season In her rep ertoire of three plays, a new American drama as yet unnamed, by Ernest Ship man, and two adaptations called "Youth" and "Sold." to her Summer home in Hi mount, there to prepare for the Winter's work. The time will be spent In talking over the plays, gathering the ideas of different members about the interpreta tion of characters and in recreation. The last pursuit will not be overlooked, so that Mme. Kallech's company will spend a profitable as well as a pleasing Sum mer. When the advantage of this innova tion, which is quite like a Summer school. will be seen next season in the work of Mme. Kallch's company, other stars may be led to try the experiment. Mme. Maurice Bernhardt, the daughter-in-law of the famous tragedienne, died in Pari on June 2L. She was formerly Terka Jablonowska, and was a musician of some pretentions. Bonlta, or all to the good, is playing a stock engagement in Seattle this Sum ber. Bonita was at the Baker Theater last season. The playgoers of Hartford. Conn., are said to be so wrought up over Henry Kolker's play. "Doctor Wendham's &r- periment," that its producers wish to present it in Broadway forthwith. Mr. Kolker acts a hypnotist and so does Miss Thais Lawton and the two characters in dulge in a contest of hypnotism which ends in matrimony. Mr. Kolker was aa- , sisted in the composition of the play by I Miss Edith Watts Munford. He and Miss Lawton recently appeared with the New ; Theater Company. By the way, she is a j San Francisco girl and well known In .foruana. where she has visited often. Blllle Burke, with her mother, Mrs. William Burke, and Miss Burke's little I niece, both of whom accompany the little actress wnenever and wherever she wanders, are sojourning Just outside Paris this Summer. As predicted in this column several weeks ago, the Abernethy boys have been embalmed in a moving-picture film. A the first subject in which these two young I chaps figure. It is called "The Abemthy ftwo l tuw ..c.TLuo, aim mo reviews say it is a "thrilling Western drama, in troducing the famous Abernethy boys, Louis, aged 9 years, and Temple, aged 6." It will be recalled that much public com ment was made over the famous ride of these two small sons of '"Eat -em-alive-Jack," the friend of Theodore, when they made their famous 2500-mile ride from Oklahoma City to New York City to wit ness "the welcome home." Gladys Vnger, the- American girl who has lived for some years in Essex. Eng land, Is making the translation of "Le Bois Sacre" ("The Sacred Grove") in which G. P. Huntley and Hattia Williams are to co-star next season. Miss TJnger translated "Love Watches" for Billie Burke, "Inconstant -George" and "My Wife" for John Drew, all three plays- by Caillavot and Do Fleas, who wrote "Le Bois Sacre." John Barrymore is spending his short vacation at the home of his uncle John Drew, at East Hampton, Long Island. After an absence of live years from New York Blanche Walsh will again be seen on Broadway, September 15, when aha will present "Bexbareza." a new play from tie pen of J. Hartley Manners. The name of the theater at which she will appear will be announced later. George Howard will again be Miss- Walsh's leading man. Miss Walsh it will be re called was seen last season in Portland in "The Test," one of Jules Eckert Good man's plays. Charles Frohman has announced the revival of William Gillette's play, "The Private Secretary," a comedy In which this actor first appeared in 18S4. Mr. Gil lette will again be given his original role of the Rev. Mr. Spalding. The play when first produced ran for SO months at the old Comedy Theater in New York. In cidentally Mr. Gillette is cruising, this Summer, about New England in his houseboat Aunt Folly. Among the recent sailings from New York are Grace George and her manager-husband, William A. Brady, or, should one say, W. A. Brady and his actress-star-wife, Grace- George? They have gone to London in response to a cablegram from ' Frank Curzon, the Lon don manager. While abroad Mr. Brady will arrange for the American produc tion with an English cast of "The Balkan Princess" and "The Naked Truth," both of which he has acquired. Miss George will make a selection from two plays, one by an English author, and' the other by a French writer. With this new play Miss George will open her husband's new theater, "The Play house." In New York, next January. Mr. and Mrs. Brady were accompanied by their 12-year-old son.

The formation of political parties results from a contention for principles. As men will differ ijx this, as In every other department of lif, some give their sanction to certain principles which they believe, if reduced to prac tice, will insure a Just and progressive growth of our National Interests. Oth ers give their Indorsement to other and more or less diverse views as to Just what governmental course of procedure will most certainly insure public wel fare as it relates to a domestic policy as well, as in its international aspects. God Almighty created men as differ ent In the Intellectual and moral con stitution of their minds as in their faclaLxpresslons, and wisely, for all real progress must depend on these dif ferent views, and their full, free dis cussion; were it otherwise mental stag nation would result and progress would cease. It will be seen from the foregoing that political parties are indispensably necessary to the continuance of our form of government. Now the covert purpose of our so-called primary law, taken as a whole, is to render the main tenance of political party organizations an Impossibility, and is so purely so cialistic in conception and practical ap plication as to be Justly adjudged to be revolutionary and destructive of our present form of government. Let us admit all there is of human imperfections. Let us admit all there is of political party derelictions, where policy and self-seeking too often takes the place of honorable adherence to sound principle even then do not the dictates of the rational mind suggest that it is better for us "to bear the ills we have than fly to those we know not or'? To plunge beneath the dark waters of socialistic chaos, and bid farewell to our dearly-bought heritage? It- is said, the devil is exceedingly apt In quoting Scriptures. The political dough face, and hypocritical trimmer is equally apt in quoting the purest po litical maxims, but for the patriotic ally disposed citizen, he is an unsafe counsellor; in fact is the bane and curse of good government, and a perpetual danger to the best government this world has yet seen. The excuse for Statement No. 1 and the self-nominating system of the primary law (which the assembly is Intended to amend) is, that one pledged in advance is less likely to be corrupted by selling his vote in Senatorial contests In the Legis lature. But think of it! Is every nom inee not pledged by every principle o manly honor to be honest and decern when named by his fellow citizens an their legislative agent? If a ccnstt-nt realization of the trust confided in him, in his ability, his Integrity, political and otherwise will not sufficiently im press the candidate, will a further pledge, te forswear his own professed political- beliefs and in a certain emer gency vote contrary to his avowed con victions make him a safer man, and less likely to corruptly sell his vote? Is it not a perfectly consistent and logi cal deduction, that a so-called Repub lican who will thus make ante-election pledges, is either lacking in intelli gence or political sincerity? By what type of psychological legerdemain can he be made a bulwark of safety? If he would stultify himself, as it relates to his professed political convictions, in 'order to secure his election, would it not argue that he would be doubly susceptible to corrupt approach after election? Yet we are told that under this mongrel political regime it would bo absolutely "impossible" to corruptly purchase votes in the Legislature, when as a fact it not only affords no pro tection, but rather makes vote buying less difficult. The most corrupt Sena torial aspirant would not change it. Statement No. 1 Republicans should re pudiate their past record, and show full evidence of their candor," and sincere allegiance to the Republican party and Its principles, or openly Join forces with the Socialist and Democratic par ties, either one or both (as there is lit tle difference) and are mutual helpers to each other. Honest convictions are always en titled to respectful consideration how ever erroneous, but the trimmer and annual turncoat in American politics Is, because of his unpatriotic and thor oughly selfish disregard of the public welfare, beneath contempt, and should be so recognized by friends of good government. What citizen of" Oregon, when he calls to mind the names of Baker, Williams, Nestnith or Dolph, some of our former Senators, and then contemplates the sorry misrepresenta tlves there at present, can feel .other than humiliated? Such are the condi tions and products of our primary law. Neither of the present incumbents- was the "choice" of the people, although falsely so declared. The majority of Oregon voters emphatically declared against them by casting their votes elsewhere. As it relates to the proceeding out lined for making nominations under our primary law, it is a standing invita tion for the most hideous forms of po litical debauchery, surpassing for vile ness of results, anything which has pro ceeded it. Thousands of its "pure minded devotees" at every primary, furnish what seems unquestionable evidence of wholesale perjury by reg istering as Republicans for the purpose of voting for the weakest self-named Republican and thereby securing- his nomination and then voting with their own party in the general election. This is their conception of "reform" and the "rule of the people." These outrages on free government have been prac ticed at every election, and successfully. - SEAT SALE OPENS NEXT FRIDAY' DUNG A LOW THF.ATI"'.U 4 Nights BAtny July 25 MARGARET ANGLIN IN HER SUCCESSFUL PLAY it The Awakening of Helena Richie Fr ees: $2.00, 91.SO, $1.00, 75c 99 too, sines this rascally demagogic ag gregation of polltial heresies came into existence. The same course is being taken now in Portland and all other cities in Oregon with the hope of fur ther hoodwinking the.pebple, by calling it the "people's rule." Such methods certainly reach the profoundest depths of Infamy, and except for its practice neither Bourne nor Chamberlain would be in the United States Senate today. Here is a record: Registered in 1908 as Republicans, 86.396; Democrats, 32,262; the vote for Republican Presi dent, 62,630; for Democratic President, 38,049. It is well knowr that in the general election the vote falls below that of registration; in the Republican vote there was a falling off of more than 24,000, while the Democrats made a gain over registration of near 6000, affording almost absolute evidence that 8000 or 10,000 Democrats registered as Republicans in order to vote for a man the Republicans did not want and whom many would not support after wards. In the interest of "reform" and also to give full recognition to the "voice" and "choice" of the dear peo ple they vote for their own partisan candidate who has been agreed on be fore the primaries, roped and branded beforehand, notwithstanding their hor ror of assembly. As there is no way of proving how one votes at a general election, such industrious patriots, it will be seen, are protected from the pains and penalties of perjury, and in consequence the registrations in Port land at this time show from six to seven Republicans to one Democrat. To allow this type of political prostitution and criminality to. continue is a ques tion which rests with the voters. To allow it to continue because, in times past Senatorial elections have been bought, is neither excusable nor reme dial, as legislative corruption is as easy of accomplishment under the primary law as it was before. The f arclal and criminal proceedings under our primary nominating system have only to be un derstood to be condemned by, all hon est men. The holding of an assembly for sug gestion as to men and measures is the only resource left for the maintenance of party organization, and co :tributlng to clean government. There is cer tainly litSJ.5 to envy either of head or heart in these people, be they Republi cans, Democrats or Socialists, who can w'nk a, the possible rascalities under th' two features of the primary law herein discussed and make a hypocrit ical pretense of horror and moral shock when Republicans propose a consulta tion the results of which are open and given to the world, and finally given to the voters for their free acceptance or rejection.
