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.

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.
