f t - THE i OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON WEDNESDAY. . SEPTEMBER 21. , 1EZL X MATERNITY BILL OPPOSITION HELD By Koraiaa Haproo4 Cal?ml Sarrlca Editorial Comepaadent. ' Washington, Sept JL Of th vast sup ply of nonsense, habitually produced in ' this burg, none haa surpassed In vaiulty the argument being brought forth against U maternity bill. Tha attack on this bill haa recently .'shown Increased vigor. At one time It looked aa If tha opponents, shown up in the folly of tftejr arguments, had been silenced, but they are at It' again. As there are? no two sldea to the argu ment, the opponents or the bill take refuge In violent Imbecilities. Miss Alice Robertson, for example, whose heart la the superior of her head, declares It pro vides for birth control. - She snakes thla declaration again after her former .charge had been fully an- swered. I assume she has looked at the bill. To her: birth control Is a horrible thing. I do not discuss that question, though I have my opinion. X ITATEIIEHTS I3TEXTES The matter was Intentionally left out - of the bill because with some people it is a matter of religious faith and It was desired to atlck to the main points on which there could be joint work by all 'instructed people of all religions. The opponents of the bill. In their dearth of Justifiable grounds of opposition, have gone to the length of Inventing state ments about the opposition of Catholics, , which have been energetically disavowed by the leaders who were misquoted. When up a tree, holler Bolshevik. Something choice has been put into print and la now being circulated in Boston . the home of old of the most energetic ennonenta of tha bill, herself a devoted anU-euffragtat. and now viewing with alarm everything that progressive women mar undertake. One sentence is: "Many of these women workers do not know they are cats' pawsior iroizicy , and Lenin to wreck the United States." IW1SS APPEAR OFTEIT ' Really, It adds to tha joy of life, this bringing In of the Russian horrible twin to explain all aspects of our domestic Dollcy that the standpatters do not like. In Washington the twins appear as often as the bogey man appears in toe nursery, Pretty soon it will be time for us to listen all over again to Mr. Joseph W, Folk orate against the minimum wage bill. The rehearing is brought about by one of the most scandalous misuses of legal machinery that ever came te my attention, but as compensation we may hear once more about Lenin and Trots ky, as we did when the case was argued .before. The Bolshevism of the maternity bill consists merely in this: There are a lot Of poor women in the country. They cannot have the help from expert doc tors and nurses that the rich women are blessed with. The maternity bill makes it possible for the poor women If they went to, to obtain better guld ance than the slums afford them. BEL050 TO FIFTH ATEXCB The opponents of the bill hold that If Uod had Intended poor women to have access to any of the conquests and com forts of modern hygiene he would not have put them in the slums. He would have given them proper houses on Fifth avenue.

Lands As Permanent Home In, th Middle West the farmers are facing an almost impossible task of ob taining a .fair earning on high-priced land against crop failures and high rates of interest, according to a letter received by the State Chamber of Commerce Tuesday from a group of farmers at Brick. Okla. "Ten of us with military training rang ing from four months to 10 years, with riQ.000 to invest, are willing to undertake anything in your state that promised suc cess," ey the letter. Three of. us are craftsmen and ex pect to work and keejunoney coming in while the farmers in the group get things going. W are used to hard work, and can be depended upon to stick. We are looking for ft place to earn a home not a picnic ground or summer camp. "We could buy here, in . th Middle West, but 160 acres is a small, one-man farm and 10 per cent is a hard working Interest. If crop failed, we would have to pay I per cent for money to meet land payments, and we know from ex pertenee that it can't be done. Moreover, 1100 an acre land will not pay a reason able interest on th investment with the best of luck. Whatever we do, we are going to stick together." The State Chamber ha sent full da tailed Information of Oregon farm lands and project to th middle-wee tern era. Crater Lake; Eoad Partly Snow Blocked Medford. Sept.

FRANCIS K. LEOQBTT A COMPANY 01 Weet 27th Street New York, N.Y. Its fUrror. has placed it on a Million tables it Wffl Yona 17 T7 Where will you get the most enjoyment for your money? A frank discussion of your winter's entertainment and its cost Year? You will hear several concerts this win ter. Perhaps you have no definite idea of how many perhaps you think you will, go to only a few. Still, when the time comes around, you will find that you will want to go. Looking back next May, you will see that you have heard many more things than you expected to that you have spent considerable money, much more than you thought you would. Why not settle the concert and amuse ment problem? The Elwyn Concert Bu reau has a solution and they took a' large space to tell you about it because you might overlook a smaller advertisement. You must read it ALL, or you will not have ALL. the facts. . a This is a year of careful spending. Peo ple are going to spend just as much, or more money, than they have in the past but they are going to think more about what it will buy. When you go to a con cert you want a good seat. You usually pay two dollars, or perhaps two dollars and a halfand sometimes if you have waited too long, this seat is not just in the location that you desired. You v will probably attend seven or eight, possibly more,- concerts before spring. You will have paid from $12 to $17 if you went alone, twice that if you required two seats. How would you like to cut that in half? Would it make any appeal to you if you could hear seven concerts, in which. 12 in ternationally famous artists were to ap pear, for $7, or at the rateof $ 1 a concert ? Turn this over in your mind a time pr two and see if it is not worth while. -The Elwyn Concert Bureau believes in getting back to normalcy. Their contri bution is to put concerts back on a basis in keeping with the trend of the times. Yfou can afford this series because it fits in with your decision to spend carefully this year. You can afford it for your children, for surely music should be a part of everyone's youth. As for the student of music, this is really a remarkable oppor tunity. Now about the attractions: Last year the Elwyn Series was a fine series. - This year it is really a wonderful series, and here are the artists to prove that state ment: OCTOBER IS Marie Sunn alius, Lyric Soprano, Metropolitan Opera Company. , Nicola Zerola, Drxmatic Tenor, Metropolitan Opfra Company. OCTOBER 24 . Cyrena Van Cordon, Contralto, Chicago Opart Association. . DECEMBER 13 Alice Gentle, Dramatic-Soprano, Scottl Opera Company. Arthur Rubinstein, Noted Polish Pianist JANUARY 16 Paul Althouse, Tenor, Metropolitan Opera Company. Kathleen Parlow, Greatest Living Woman Violinist FEBRUARY 3 OI Steeb, Pianist Edn Thomas, Mezzo. Sascha Jacobinoff, Violinist FEBRUARY 17 i Arthur Mlddleton, Bass-Baritone. - MARCH 10 Alberto Salri, The World's Greatest Harpist You noticed, of course, that the. singers were from the. two most famous opera hoyses in the world, the Metropolitan and the Chicago; that the violinist, is the greatest of her sex; that the harpist, whose new Victor records are now out, is without a peer. You also noticed that four of the concerts are joint recitals. You like to see and hear two or perhaps three interesting personalities when you go to a concert Do you wonder, then, that the Elwyn Concert Bureau believes this the greatest series of concerts for the price ever of feted anywhere in America, and that they took a large space in The Journal so that you, too, will share their enthusiasm? Since, this course was announced three weeks ago, the sale has been heavy. After Portland people read this advertisement it is going to be much heavier. Think this over, then call up the Elwyn -Concert Bureau and they will be glad to make your reservation. There are two prices, you know. The first 25 rows on the main floor are S7, plus 70c tax. Balance of the main floor and balcony sections are $6, plus 60c tax. No concerts will be: given on Wednesday nights, and the first concert is on Satur . day, October 15. V ARTIST SERIES OLIVER O.
