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

access to any of the conquests and com

have put them in the slums. He would
have given them proper houses on Fifth

Middle Westerners
Seek Oregon. 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.

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

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.
