. An Entertaining Spectacle
; What would we do without elections to lend variety and
! ,olor to our somewhat drab work-a-dav existence? News-
' papers are filled with noisy clamor and the mails burdened
mth partisan propaganda and from countless rostrums party
?JEki appeal to prejudice.
' . The unknown voter attains a brief and fleeting import
j ance in this Indian summer of the year as he is solicited by
inose wno seen to save rne country by securing a place at the
' ; public pie-counter. The decadent party idols are burnished
up to a orassy shine and the clan totems appealed to for
victory.
; Having sacrificed party solidarity on the altar of its de
sires for dictatorship, the Oregonian is barring mention of
opposing candidates except to misrepresent and slander them
. and prosily and ponderously declaring that the fate of presi
dent, party and nation hinges on the election of its protege
to the senate or the blacR flag of panic will float over the
land. And the Journal is equally vociferous in declar
ing that only the election of a fighting democrat to the
senate will redeem the state and secure Oregon her share of
public plunder. And in the meantime the proven go-getter
is leit to wage a single-handed light with little press support
to complete the job he undertook.
. The most diverting campaign of all is that being staged
by our governor who has been on the stump continuously for
four years and is now flooding the mails with personal ap
peals. He declares "for almost half a century I have battled
for the common people. I have indeed, 'fought the fight and
kept the faith' " but he forgot to add "as one that beateth
the air." The voters are urged to vote for him to save
"Christian civilization" which it is inferred might perish if
his gum-shoeing opponent is elected. -
Most politicians are pussyfooters the twilight candi-
pates who "hover between two sets of principles and at
tempt to embrace, while vitiating both of them at once.
: Afraid to wound the feelings and reluctant to lose the tan
gible support of those who are going to the right or left, thev
sit amiably and nervously quiescent in the center of the
road, wearing high-sounding phrases to mask the fact that
they are merely twiddling thumbs in the long-suffering and
so-called public interest."
An equally vicious development is the Dolitician who olavs
the hypocrite for votes, who embraces that which he does
, not believe in, such as the unabashed and brazen personally
. wet and politically dry advocate of prohibition, and the pro-
j ponent oi economic iallacies for farm relief, prostituting pnn
l ciple for popularity.
I -. Stripped of all of its verbiage of bunk, political campaigns
j are little but appeals to prejudice to secure political spoils.
; j.nere is notning leit or tne parties but the labels and the
I traditions and little left of candidates except demagogy.
; The controlling idea is that it is impossible to over-estimate
I the ignorance ot the people and upon this doctrine partisan-
Eugene Debs
: In the death of Eugene Debs, the nation has lost one of
, its linest characters, one who as the ardent advocate of an
I ideal, courageously endured persecution and imDrisonment.
I Gentle, kindly and much beloved, he was the victim of the
I prejudices of his time.
jr. - Because Debs unflinchingly advocated the solidarity of
L ine proletariat anu tne estauiisnment oi a new order to se-
cure social justice, he was relentlessly pursued by beneficiar
I les of the existing system. Because he creached the futility
; and crime of war, in war time, he was incarcenated as a
v traitor a victim of war hysteria. .
i Debs was a dreamer and sought an economic Utonia
: through control of government by workers. He preached
' ! the same doctrines as the Nazarene, and never flinched in a
; cause he deemed right. When sentenced to federal prison
; lor ouscruciing tne orait, ne said to tne jury:
"I havo no dispute with the evldonce presented by the Eovern-
ment; no criticism of the counsol for the prosecution. I would not take
Back a word of what I bollcvo right to save myself from the peniten
tiary. 1 am accused of crime, but I look the court In the face, I look
j the Jury In the face, r look tho world In tho face, for In my hoart no
.' accusation of wrong festers.
"Gentlemen, I have been accused of obstructing war. I admit It,
gentlemen, I abhor war. 1 would oppose war If 1 Btood alone."
When released, he replied to a question as to what had
been his greatest experience in prison life, he said:
"I havo discovered that lovo Is omnipotent. AH the forces oh earth
ennnot prevail against It. Hatred, war, cruelty, groed and lust must
all glvo way beforo It. It will ovorthrow all tyrannies. It will empty
all prisons. It will not' only emancipate the human race eventually
but to a great extont It llftH us Individually above the struggle while
we are In tho thlclt of tho fight for human brotherhood."
Debs rose from the ranks of the poor, with little" educa-
, tion, to become the leader of a national railroad strike and
; afterwards the choice of over a million pooplo for president,
the "grand old man" of Socialism, beloved by many who
were unalterable enemies of his social theories, His feeble
health was broken by prison life, but he lived to see his lead
ership smashed and his party ruined by the inner fight re
sulting from the Russian revolution the fight between tho
advocates of violence and the calmer tactics he advocated.
,To the last, however, he continued to utter protests against
injustice.
Hearts Adrift
By Mildred Barbour
1 An Incxplornlile Chnperono.
"Patricia," Mad no said -the morn-
Ins beforo the boat docked nt
CherbAirs, "Just what have you
In mind? Tou don't know for an
Instant fancy that you'ro (folnsr to
romnln with Btan and me, once
wovo arrived In France?
) Patricia was sitting at the front
Of the berth, absorbed In a bit of
neodlework. She looked fresh and
eool and wholesome. An excellent
tailor always, she had risen early,
had her tub, followed by a brisk
turn or two of the deck, and had
breakfasted well In the salon.
Miire, dishevelled and pale, re
garded hor blackly from her rum
pled pillows. A tray with a cup
of coffee, scarcely touched, and
toast, broken but uneaten, rested
on a fold in a table beside her. Ehc
didn't daro look at It without n
dlaturblnff physical reaction.
To her petulant question, Patric
ia lifted calm cyen.
"Madge dear, 1 have told you be
fore. Wo are Rnlnjr, you and 1, to
visit my good friend the Marquise
do Mantel at her seaside villa. If
Mr. Cartwrtght cares to come with
us, he will be n welcome guest.
When I say guest, I mean a paying
one, because Madame de Manse;
Is poor since the war which wid
owed her. She will be happy to
have us not entirely as a means
of livelihood though. Tou will find
that we will bo Tory welcome. The
villa Is a charm ins; place. I stop
ped there with her Just before I
sailed for America. Tho house la
delightful. And the garden! It fair
ly runs Into the sea.
"Don't mention 'sea' to met I
never want to hear of an ocean
a bain. Ugh!"
"Ah, you think so now, because
you have been 11L But you'll forget
that quickly."
Madge flung a pillow petulantly
onto the floor.
"Tou make me tired. I wonder
now, why I never made a friend
of you. Pat, I'm beginning to hate
you!"
"I'm sorry," she said In a low
voice. 1 knew, of course, that you
would. And yet, all I've done, I've
done because I love you and I
don't want to see you pay too dear
ly for a momentary folly,"
"Momentary folly ?" echoed
Madge Indignantly. "How dare you
aay that? My love for Btan Is the
only big thing In my life. It's mag
nificent, eternal."
"We shall see,' said Pa trie la
tently. "Madge, darling, If you can
prove to me that It is magnificent
that it Is lasting. I will withdraw
ovorythlng I've said and done. But
so often, you ve gone chasing will
o' the wisps In the guise of love.
Fortunately, you've never before
allowed the chase to carry you this
far. You've kept on the right side
of decency. But now"
"Now I've tossed everything to
tho winds because of a wonderful
love," Madge cut In. "Stan la my
man, my mate, the one destined
for me. We belong to each other.
It was not our fault If Fate made
us meet too late, after we had con
tracted other alliances. But fortun
ately we're, big1 enough, courage
ous enough, to have each other
In splto of the petty standards of
a foolishly conventionalized world.
Stage Whispers
The six Brown Brothers head
the Pontage vaudeville blU at the
Capitol tonight The act Is one of
the most noted to vaudeville to
day. Secured by Frao& Bllgh,
owner ot he Capitol, at a heavy
cost, this headline act carries a
special minstrel orchestra of 14
pieces with It. Tom Brown is at
his best.
Tho other acts on the bill are
"Four Pals," a famous quartet
with plenty of pep In "Laughter
and Song. Burnum In a sensa
tional song classic entitled "Is It
He, She or It?" Toy La Pearl and
Lillian Oonno present "Just for
Fun," a comedy riot. Billy Car
men and his mystery xylophone.
Viola Vercler and her Capitol
orchestra will also be on hand.
Red Grange, king of the football
world and an actor of no mean
ability, takes the screen at the Ore
gon theater today In "One Minute
to Play," for an Indefinite engage
ment, coming over from the Elal
noro yesterday where tt played a
one-day showing.
Besides Its spectacular football
aspect "One Minute to Play" has
unusual dramatic qualities, and In
Its Interpretation of campus life Is
said to be the greatest American
college story ever filmed, not even
excepting "Brown of Harvard." An
engaging love theme runs through
the story and the acting of the en
tire cast Is well above the ordinary.
A week of olg offerings opens at
the Elsinore this evening when the
Moroni Olsen players present "Dear
Brutus." ' Friday evening will be
the regular weekly vaudeville night
with a strong bill and on Saturday!
"Stella Dallas" appears on that
screen. "Stella Dallas" Is pro
claimed as one of the big pictures
ot the year and has been warmly
reeclved everywhere. In Portland
it ran for six weeks at the Peoples
theater.
Oh, what's tho uao!" She tossed
petulantly on her pillows. "Why
go over It all? I've explained
ovorythlng to you often enough."
Patricia rose and folded her em
broidery. "What Is the use, indeed?" she
echoed qquletly. "We understand
the situation and each other very
clearly, you and Mr. . Cartwrlght
and I. The fact remains that, un
pleasant as my task, I hold the
trump cards and I Intend to keep
on playing them. You and I are
going to bo the guests of Madame
tho Marquise. Mr, Cartwrlght may
join us If he wishes. There can 'be
no scandal in such a situation, no
matter what the world suspects or
hints at."
"But Just what good you think
such an utterly .ridiculous situa
tion can do?"
"Just this: It will give you a
chance to come to your senses, to
decide seriously what you Intend
to do with the rest of your life. If,
after you'vo had a fair trial at
this new and dangerous mode of
life, you find that your - love for
Mr. Cartwrlght la enduring, I
have nothing more to say. But, if
you regret well, you can go back
to the world to which you belong
without too much mud clinging to
your skirts. Never to America, of
course, unless you can marry Mr.
Cartwrlght. But thoro are other
places which will accept you."
"How sweet and thoughtful you
arc," murmured Madge sarcastic
ally. .
Patricia made no renly to that
She went up on deck and leaned
for a long time on the rail looking
ot tho Illimitable expanse of sky
and sea that met along he rim of
tho world.
Cartwright joined her presently.
He asked grimly;
"Tou Intend to remain with us
after we land. Miss Fleming?"
She looked him squarely In the
eye.
"I do, Mr. Cartwrlght."
