Newspaper Page Textt III V, PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, MAY 301 I CapitaM ournal Salem, Oncoa ' An Independent Newspaper, Published erery erenlng except 8unday, Telephone SI; newi SI GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor nod Publisher Towards Autocracy Baseball has secured in the person of Judge Kenesaw M. Landis as "high commissioner" an autocrat instead of an arbiter. With a power almost imperial, he issues ukases penalizing players, suspending famous stars, ousting man agers and financially ruining those who have invested money in franchises. - Without entering into the merits of the Portland contro versy, it is evident that the severe penalties imposed in effect deprive the club owners of property without due process of law, and jf sustained, will disorganize and disrupt organized baseball for no one is going to risk hi3 fortune on the whim of an erratic and tyrannical autocrat. The organized movie picture industry has also followed the lines of organized baseball and appointed in Will H. Hayes, a lord high commissioner, a czar, a kaiser or what ever jiame you choose to Call the autocrat who is given supreme power over the destinies of the industry, at a salary of $150,000 a year. Just how great Mr. Hayes' powers are, has not been established, and as he is a soft-spoken diplomat rather than loud voiced dictator, we are not apt to find out but they have been hinted sufficiently great. Such appointments call attention to the tendency in this democracy of ours towards autocracy, not only in industry, but in all other lines. Mergers, combinations and amalgama tions, have concentrated the control of industry in the hands of groups, each dominated by an autocrat. Control of these groups through common owners has centered in affiliated New York bankers, who in turn are dominated by a financial autocrat. On the other hand, organized labor has evolved a similar concentration of authority and power, similarly centered m an autocrat. At no time in the nation's history has the tendency to wards autocracy been so strong. Whether it is merely the working out of the natural law of human inequality, or whether the nation is really becoming decadent through loss of initiative and vigor and the growth of paternalism and therefore unable to solve its problems satisfactorily in true democratic fashion, and has to have recourse to the ancient formula of a master or ruler, the future must answer. At any rate we are creating a super-abundance of autocrats. Perhaps it is this tendency towards autocracy that has produced the phenomenon of an "invisible empire" whose "citizens" pay for the privilege of swearing fealty to a self appointed "emperor" in a democratic republic. The secret craving of slanted minds for the pomp and panoply of empire has been shrewdly commercialized by an autocrat who for a cash consideration satisfies the desire with midnight mysticism and mock imperialism, presenting a burlesque form if not the real substance of sovereignty for the pleasure of those willing to pay. j:;:mt;i;mu3U!iiiittm:anintm: 81 Tove's I J Masquerade By Idah MoGlone Gibson VICTOR COMPANY REPORT SHOWS BANNER YEAR Publication during r e c en t months of many account of failure and financial difficulties of man ufacturers ot talking machine products have been misinterpreted to apply In some degree to the en tire Industry. That this Is not the fact Is clearly demonstrated by a comparative balance sheot showing the condition of the Vic tor Talking Machine company presented at the annual stockhold ers' meeting, Just ended. It la Interesting to note the progress made by the Victor com pany during the post-war read justment period, and the figures show that the. volume of output maintained "during lSl was al most identical with that' of 120, which was the best previous year. One of the Victor officials suid, "Production was somewhat cur tailed in the Bummer months ot 1921 but that period was followed by a fall seuson In which demands of the trade could scarcely be met by overtime work." TECHER HERE RETIRES AFTER 24 YEARS WORK The teaching career of Mis: Emma Kramer, for 24 years an in structor In the Salem public schools, will come to a close at the end of this school year. Highly laudatory comment on Miss Kramer's work Is present in a statement Issued by the High land Mothers' club. II follows In part: "To the regret of miyiy friends, especially to the patrong of the Highland school, Miss Kramer it leaving. Her work as a teacher has been of the highest order and sho has given generously of her time for the betterment of both the school and the community. Miss Kramer taught 10 years in the Kast Salem school, 11 years as principal of Lincoln, and one year puucipui ui me Hignianu school. She then gave up teach ing one year, returning as prin cipal of Highland. "The Highland Mothers' cluL and the parent-teucher association will miss Miss Kramer's coopera tion In all their work." The Other Woman "I can't for the life of me im agine a woman such as Harry describes," remarked John Davis. "You don't have to imagine her, Dave," commented Dr. Milton "She's not an imaginary creature she's real. She's the new woman You haven't looked for her. You are still under- the epelT of th traditional great secret ot wo. man's supposed attractiveness to man the mysterious, the elusive and the forbidden." "Well, at least, this woman was forbidden' to Glendening," said Davis with a laugh at his own bon mot. "No, she was not," rejoined Milton; "at least her frankness generosity and courage could not oe forbidden to him or anyone that came Into Margaret Earl's presence," Dr. Milton stopped ab ruptly, momentarily startled Them he .added: 'I did not mean to tell her name, but I know that she would find no fault with me for that. Frankly, I wuold give long years of my life to have woman such as Margaret Earl to care tor me as she does for Harry Glendenlng. Margaret Earl has the power to make me wish that poor woman out in the insane asylum was dead and out of her misery, and that. I was free to offer the devotion of my life to Margaret "I tell you, Davis, we men must revise the old order. The idea that women must only live to attract us and that her powers of attrac tion wane when the promise of her beauty is fulfilled at middle age is obsolote. Not that Margaret Earl is mlddleaged she is still young, as you know but, more than any other woman, she has caught the spirit of the. centu'ry. She Is youth gay, enthusiastic courageous youth personified. ."Harry Glendenlng has been more than interested because of his surprise at this woman.

Because of her ahuolute lack of mystery she became the most mysterious woman In the world to him. Because she never tried to elude him she became the most elusive of femininity." "Yes," agreed Clavering, "I think you have analyzed him cor rectly, Milton. Let me read his re marks on this: Instead of discontent and nag ging, I got from Margaret only contentment and encouragement. She talked to me of what I might do, She made me feel that her splendid Ideas and .Ideals were within my grasp. For the first time of my life, I really began to live. All through the golden days of that early autumn we were togeth er frequently. We used to take long rides out into the country, through the gloriously tinted woods. It was a Joy to me to hear her talk. She never used terms of endearment. She never asked me either tentatively or by Im plication to think up something complimentary to say to her. In stead, sometimes she would say: I wondar that you let ma 'babble on. Oh, if she only knew how I miss that 'babble' now. She, too, felt the effect of my smile. 'Sometimes I would think you weren't listening to me if it weren t for that wonderful smile on your Hps,' she murmured to me once. 'Do you know, boy, I believe that most of the good things of life that have come to you have come at the call of that emile God, how I have come to hate the smirk, and yet when she praised It I was happy. Once I aald to her banally: 'I love to hear you talk,' and then I thought of how many times I had made that same speech to other women. But for the first time, I knew that the words I was speaking were true. I love to hear you talk," I re peated and then I added some thing I had never said to any other living woman 'I seem to be living again the lost youth that was never mine. You waken my forgotten ambitions. You make me think I can still do that which I wish to do with my life. You take me out of the lethargy into which I have fallen. 'Why, do you know, Margaret, that had I known you sooner there is nothing that you and I could not have done with this old world?' "There Is nothing you can't do with this old world now," she answered. 'Anyone can do what he really wishes with this world and himself. It Is because we lose the desire to win that we fail.

NO EXAGGERATION IN GRIFFITH PICTURE Many persons to whom details of history are vague may see in the new D. W. Griffith photoplay, "Orphans of the Storm," a great drastic epic, coming to the Ore gon theatre next week, certain scenes picturing events of the French revolution. During that period happened the incidents of the original play upon which the pictureVas found, ed, "The Two Orphans." 1 ' The scenes referred to are of so wild and frenzied a nature that the thought will project Itself that exaggeration was exercised to the extreme as the dramatist's license. Those incidents relating to the dancing of the Carmagnole are most likely so to be stamped and that these people pictured In vio lent barbaric dance are merely in troduced In such orgies to create quickened action. Certainly, only the mind school ed in the events of those mad times, or the student of humanity Informed of the limitless ( indul gences of mob passions, will real ize that it is not a stretch of Mr: Griffith's imagination that caused him to direct his players' actions that they might' be so plotured. The scenes mentioned are con cerned with perhaps the Strang. est feature of the great revolution, the dance of the Carmagnole. Mr. Griffith pictures the mob in the heights of hysterical carousal, dancing through the stretes in files of men and w6men cavort ing like savages in the extreme f barbaric dance frenzy, leaping, whooping, laughing In maniacal manner, horde on horde swooping through the streets without direc tion or apparent intent save to find space to direct their steps. Old and young caper in frantic abandon. The women, in their ab andonment to the spirit ot their wild emotions, had adopted a dress' that matched barbaric im pulse, forsaking all modesty. They thus yielded to the demoniacal and by example inspired a like unrestraint in the male comrades. ." Surely, reason, the staid and thoughtfully rigorous of mind, there .could never have been a whole people so touched with ex treme dementia. But, If one reads Carlyle, the stage chronicler whose history of the French rev olution is in esteem the most au. thorltatlve, Griffith has been ex tremely temperate in his direction of the Carmagnole dance as pic tured. It was a revel such as only demon spirits oould Inspire. All that had previously been held sacred In the mind of the popu lace,' by fa reversion as complete as a , throw-back to barbarism could complete, the demented peo ple assaulted and overthrew to the extent of casting the basket of indignities upon them. DESERTER ISSOUGHT HERE Salem police were today search ing for Earl B. Griffith, who, ac cording to nformation received from the department of justice at Portland, is wanted as an army deserter. Griffith Is said to be five feet 10 inches tall, of medium complexion with blue eyes. r Cooperation of the local officers was spught by telephone last night by W. M. Hudson, of the depart ment of Justice. The Independence school board has voted to put a course in ag riculture in the high school un der the terms of the Smith-Hughes act. ' EVER HAVE IT?
