"Without or with offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your world exactly as it goes" byhon. Exit Billy Sunday The Rev. Billy Sunday has concluded his work of saving Portland from the devil by telling all those who differed from him to "go to hell" and received as pay for his labors 58,409 in offerings, or $1,200 per week net, for the seven weeks, in addition to all expenses for himself, wife and staff, including hotel bills, railroad fare and salaries for assistants. This was rather poor picking for Billy, who netted ?25,000 recently for saving Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and cashes 'n proportionately in other places, and probably accounts for the grilling he gave Portland. It is claimed that 15,000 "hit the sawdust trail" in Portland, that is Billy's way of expressing conversion under his circus of salvation. How many of the conversions are permanent remain to be seen,, There are always a large proportion of back-sliders as the excitement subsides. However it is pos sible to figure in dollars and cents the cost of salvation by dividing the total cost of the campaign by the number of souls saved, and so put salvation on a stable commercial basis so many dollars spent, so many souls saved. Time will prove whether the investment is a profitable one. As a rule, the Holy Rollers have it all over the occasional revival and the itinerant evangelist, for they keep up the emotional excitement all the time, theirs is a perpetual revival, so there is little opportunity for back-sliding. The stimulation of the spasmodic revival soon wears out and as the new converts fall away, it is necessary to repeat the performance to inflate membership. The first to welcome the reverend B. S. to Portland were BJayor Baker, the Portland Ad club and the Oregonian. They are also listed among those bidding him farewell. However, we fail to find any record of their hitting the sawdust trail or even reaching the mourners bench hence we must con clude the great revival a failure in its principal mission. Wants the Press Muzzled Governor Pierce is again indulging in his favorite pastime of rapping the newspapers. Nothing in them ever suits the executive. Either they print too much about him or they print too little, they never hit it right. The governor is now censuring the press for the amount of space devoted to the prison break and declares the publicity given crime is its chief inspiration. He wants the W. C. T. U. to start a crusade to "clean-up" the country press and then start after Portland newspapers. As usual the governor has the cart before the horse. Let him first "clean-up" the Portland press and then go after the country papers. When lie establishes his censorship in the metropolis, it will be time to attempt it in the country. In the proposal to muzzle the press, the governor exercises his usual statesmanship. The newspapers, which exist to print things as they hap pen, were not responsible for the prison-break, which was due directly to the inefficiency at the prison, for which the governor was and is responsible. Why blame the press for the administration's achievements? That the governor is a firm believer in suppressing the news, particularly regarding the prison, is proved by his refusal to publish the report on the penitentiary break and battle made by his own committee of investigation, which he agreed to abide by, but has pigeon-holed. If the papers could only be muzzled, the public would know nothing of the administrative farce staged at prison and capitol. ECOND WIVE By VIOLET DARE It ILLY ACiAIN Mario wont Hint afternoon to mo country club with tho other guests nt Carollno Phillips' house party, aha feared that Hilly nnd Janny would ho thoro; nil the conn try aino would ho. as well as many people from other places, for .the finals In nn Important Rolf tourna ment were to bo played off. Mario had dressed cnrefullv: ev en while- eho told heracie that It wouldn't nintter to Dlliy what flho ure, fltneo ho no loujjor cared for her, Hho dressed with the Ihnmrht of hhn In her in I ml. Hho thought of Janny too; nt least this girl who natl taken lUlly'n heart from her would not bo nblo to think that nho could do it because Ullty s wife was dowdy! Ah nho walked with I'.ob lian dall down to tho first too. where n crowd had already withered. Mario realized that peoplo were looking at her; Alto laid their In terest to her clothes, and to the possibility that they had heard of her matrimonial troubles; peo ple were nlwayn Interested In those, even when tho parties incut con cerned wero complete, strangers! Sho dli not realize that her own beauty attracted attention; she had never estimated It nt Its full worth. Sho nnd Hnndntl paused where they could watch tho two men who wore plnylng nRnlnst each other In tho final match. "If I wero dolnj: nnythlnR tike that, I'd bo so excited that I'd hardly know whether I was on my head or my heels," sho remark ed to him, laughingly. "Importniit moments nlwnys excite me." "Then I'm to know that if t see you excited, something Important is hnppcnlng?" ha asked. "Well yes." Her thoughts had leaped into tho future telling her that when sho wns working as nn obscure clerk in some department store It would hardly be likely that the millionaire Dr. Randall would vver see her, whothcr she was ex cited or not! The two contestants drove eff, and ovorybody promptly trooped after thorn across tho golf links. As she sauntered along Marie realis ed that Hilly and Janny wero very inMr, nnu mat tttey were quarrol ling. "You mado mo hurry so Hint I shan't feel properly dressed all af ternoon!" Janny was snyine petul antly, "f don't seo nny reason for Kcuing hero so soon; wo ueodi.'t havo started tilt five minutes lat er, nnd stilt we'd havo been In time." "You look perfectly dressed, as usual." Hilly ropliod; obviously, he was trying to quiet her down. He hated rows so, especially when oth er peoplo could overln-ar, and Jan ny was making no effort to keep their troubles from the public. Clam-hiK around, Mario saw that several people wero listening, and .smlllnj;. "Oh, you're Just saying that bo cnuso you don't euro how I look." Janny retorted. ' know 1 look as if I d stood in the middle of a room nn,i had my mal,i throw my clothes at me! Why. when I got here I toun that ono of my hooks on the shoulder of my dress was unfasten ed! Now Itllly, you might Just as wen understand right now that I simply won't bo hurried when I'm dressing!" "You ntways used to get drens- ed quick enough." Mlly grumbled. i on never tried to rush me," sho replied. "lie's going to discover that he's got a Tartar when he marries her," a man near Marie remarked to his companion, apparently not knowing mat llilly's first wife wis within hearing. "Queer, Isn't It, that a fel low can bo so blind?" Someone else was laughing soft ly, nnd saying something about Hilly. Marie could not stand It. IMIly might have changed the cen ter of his nffectlons from her to Janny, but she wasn't going to have him laughed at by perfect strang ers! Turning, she prctendsd that she had just caught stent ot him at that moment. "Oh, how do you do!" she re marked cordially to Janny, going to her side. "How nice to se eyoul You know Dr. Ilondall, don't you? Hello, Billy. It's going to be a great match, isn't It 7 Did you eee that first drive?" Janny, who had scowled at first, beamed on Bob Randall and promptly tried to nttach him. That was a habit of hers, where new men were concerned. Billy turned gratefully to Marie. She did not know whether he knew that flho had overheard tho quarrel between him and Janny; she hoped that he didn't. But she knew that he was grateful to her for joining them at that moment and making It Im possible for Janny to go on fuss ing at him. "I wanted very much to see you this morning," he told her, In a low voice so that Janny could not hear what he was saying. "Thoro'e that house In town, you know; we didn't settle about It before you went away, and I'd like to sell It, but I'll have to have your consent; wo own It together, you know." "Oh yes; just send the papers to mo and I'll sign thorn," she answer ed. "Things going- well, Billy?" "Fine! Couldn't be better. Why, that Adams deal, oh, but you don't know about that, do you?" He stopped abruptly; she realized that for the moment he had forgotten that they no longer talked over all his activities togother, as they had in the past. And she knew that that realization hurt him cruelly. For on instant they looked Into each other's eyes, ono soul meeting another, frankly. Then suddenly Janny's shrill voice recalled them to the present. Tomorrow -A Key to the Future Hollywood, Col. The United Artists, comprising Charlie Chap lin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Ptckford and other producing stars, expect to be joined by Glor'.a Swanson nt the expiration ot her present contract.
