' The Discussion lending up to the ugly

Famous Artist Pays Pretty
Compliments to Maidens
of Pacific Slope Here on
Pleasure Trip With Nor
man Hapgood.
Two men looking for "material"
and experience in the greats Pacific
northwest arrived In Portland this
morning. One was a big chap and
looked like he might be a sporting
writer or a commercial traveler or
Bome one whose thoughts were as
far from the world of art as one
could imagine. He was Charles
Dana Gibson, the creator of the Gib
son' girl.
..The other man was somewhat smaller
and lighter in weight. He had curly
hair, ', wore . glasses and was smooth
shaven. He was quick and nervous in
his actions with the appearance of one
With all', the aesthetic. Instincts ' of the
most artistic temperament. He looked
all ' the world Ilk a n artist an artist
who draws or " paints for . a livelihood,
and who had never thought of anything
else In his life. He was Norman Han-
good, editor , of Collier's Weekly, and
one oi tne oest. Known eauoriat writers
in the country.
- The two are sightseeing. Everything
considered,' It is quite likely that some
rime in tne future tne true western gin
drawn by Mr. Gibson from life will
be all' the rage. Mr. Gibson explained
that he is married and that he had
been making observations from a dis
tance. Mr. Hapgood is married too.
" Mr. Hapgood is making this trip be
cause he has never before visited the
Pacific coast and because he wishes
to familiarise himself with conditions
In this part of the country. Inciden
tally, he will take a few - notes and
rite what strikes his fancy.
Praise Qirls of Coast.
You Oregon girls all you girls on
the Pacific coast should have heard
what Mr. Gibson said about you this
morning In room 211 at the Hotel Pork
land. And what he said was so well
said and so tactfully worded that one
la Inclined to believe that Mr. Gibson
has been practicing on compliments for
the girls or the, west.
He said thev were just about the
prettiest things he had ever seen. Only
Mr. Gibson didn't say "things." He
used some word the reporter had never
heard before. And their complexions!
Oh, If you girls could have only been
there to hear the artist rave! And he
didn't nerlect the features. They were
distinct, he said, and had made a great
impression upon him. Like Mr. Hap-
?ood. Mr. Gibson has never been this
ar west before.
Mr. Gibson, isn't as inquisitive as his
traveling companion. That Is, Mr. Gib
son doesn't ask so many questions. But
he looks and he sees and he remembers.
He has Inquiring eyes, one might say.
Hlr, Impressions of the west and the
northwest are to appear during the win
ter. -Mr. titbson was asxeo aooui me
Gibson .girl. The artist, who, by the
way, has only recently returned from
abroad where he has been studying art
in color, was not Inclined to talk of the
Gibson girl or himself. He is a very
modest man. instead he said, he would
rather talk about the western girl. '
A Journal man wa one of the earliest
callers upon the 4wo travelers of re
nown. He had 'no sooner reached their
apartment than they bgan asking ques
tions. In this Mr. Hapgood took the
lead. He is Just about the most Inquis
itive person one ever met. He wanted

$orman Hapgood, Editor ot
Collier's Weekly, So De
nounces Plan of . Fulton
and His Allies to Prevent
Election of Chamberlain.
' "I do not wish to use strong Ian-,
guage. in political things I do not
usually have strong feelings, but I
do think that the effort being made
in Oregon to override the principles'
of Statement No. 1 and circumvent
the election of Governor Chamber
lain to the United States senate Is
a despicable outrage upon the peo-.
pie of the state who put the-law
upon - the statute hooka. If, the ' at
tempt ia successful it will be an out- ,
rage upon the people "and a disgrace
to -the good name of the state." . '
In this manner Norman' Hapgood,'
editor of Collier's Weekly, nd one
of the clearest thlnkera and most
forceful and unbiased Writers of the'
country.. today dealt .wltla the - at
tempt of Senator Fulton and his "fol
lowers to Induce members-elect of
the legislature to violate their
pledgee made to the people last
June. -; -"vr -....
Mr. Hapgood, accompanied 'by Charles
Dana Gibson, Is in Portland today on a
tour of' the western country. Mr. Hap
good during the past few months.-from
his orfice in New Tork, ha watched tka
political situation in Oregon, and ha
from time to time aiDreaMui Kla vliwa
on things political here. A closer view
of .the situation dees, not change hi
opinions.
"I thought that the time bad come
in the United states." he said this
morning, "when the people Of the eoun- :
try had ceased to consider devotion U ;
party or to 'faction above devotion to
truth end justice. Apparently this-Is not
true with all the people ofX)regon. If
It were true there would be no such ef
fort being made to overcome the will of -the
people as expressed at the polls.
"I never saw a clearer cut question in
my life. It Is not a Question of devo
tlon t party. It is a quentlon of devo
tion to principle, it Is contended that
the pledges given by Statement No. t
members of the legislature are uncon
stitutional. What if they , are r Sup
pose that there was no law and that
three or four men made pledges to th
people. Would they not be expected to
keep their pledges? Would they be Jus
tified in break In it them, or would any
one be engaged in an honorable business
who might attempt to Influence the
men to break their pledge?
"It seems to me that there is no need
for all this agitation. The lsaue is too
clear cut and distinct. -It is simply a "
question of whether men ought to keep
pledges made voluntarily by them to the
people who voted for them, or to break
their promises and betray their ' con-
stituents. That. Is all there is to th
question and ther is but one answer.
"If I were In the' newspaper business
In Oregon," was Mr. Hapgood closing
remark, "I' would be frothing at the;
mouth over this question. It seems to
me that the Republican paper of th -state
who do not take a decided stand
for tha upholding of th law on this
question are neglectful of their duty. It "
seems strange to me that the editors of
these papers, should not jump Into the
fight and demand that the law -be up
held." . ;
