JANUARY 21, 1928 GOVERNOR SAYS ELSINORE FILM HAS FINE THEME The Shepherd of the Hills" has the approval of the leading citizen of the sovereign state of Oregon. Governor I. L. Patterson, always conservative, who has refused to en dorse a thousand and one move ments, yesterday added his word ol praise for "The Shepherd of the Hills", the film version of which Is showing for the last times today at the Elsinore. It was explained at the guberna torial offices that a policy of endors ing nothing which savored of the commercial had been adopted and rigidly followed out. STOKV REAL SERMON "However," It was added by Gov ernor Patterson, The Shepherd ol the Hills' as a story Is certainly a sermon lor any one and If the mo tion picture Is anywhere near a por trayal of the book it should be seen by every one. Harold Bell Wright gave the world a wonderful lesson when he wrote the story, and the motion picture producers and exhib itors are adding to Its value In mak ing It accessible to theatergoers." Concluding Governor Patterson added : "I am a firm believer In the pro duction of such pictures, with clean and moral atmospheres, and trust that there will be more of this kind shown." HUNDREDS VOICE APPROVAL Besides Governor Patterson, a number of ministers. District Attor ney J. H. Carson and hundreds of laymen have approved the picture which may not be seen after today The management of the Elsinore expressed keen regret today when It learned that Mary Lewis, singer, who was scheduled to appear here next Thursday, notified George B Guthrie that It would be necessary to cancel her engagement. A substi tution, which bookers have promised will be equally excellent, is prom ised, and those who have made res ervations are urged to retain them Miss Lewis has returned to New York. - "And don't forget 'Man, Woman and Sin.' starring Jeanne Easels and John Gilbert, which opens next Tuesday." advised the management. The widely heralded picture deals with the "Clarion Call of the Press". More Rapid News Connection For The Capital Journal Is : Arranged By United Press Portland, Ore., Jan. 21. (LP) trunk circuit Itself will be routed Major improvements In the United dlrect t0 the Northwest.

The United Press now has six wires from Its San Francisco relay in addition to the transcontinental trunk circuits, distributing the In coming news throughout the west. One of these sy: terns extends north through Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Effective Monday, however, the key points will thereafter be Wash Ington, D.

VP) Edwin T. Meredith, former secretary of agriculture is not a candidate for the presidency, he told state party leaders In session here this noon, after a proposal had been made by Lester Drcnnan, of Des Moines, that Iowa democrats get behind Mr. Meredith as a "favorite son" can didate. "I am not a candidate for the presidency," Mr. Meredith said.

The issues, Mr. Meredith said, are prohibition, world peace and agri cultural equity. Mother's Part In Thrift And Preservation Of Home As Important As Ever The Oregon Trail Is a most mar vellous story of hope, faith, failure. conquest. It Is said that for every mile of its 2,000 miles, there were 17 pioneer graves of adventurers, who fell In the fight to open the wilderness. Some of them were men; most of them, perhaps, for. the trains were so largely made up of men. But the women and children suffered most They were not equipped; they did not know; and they could not well help it, If they had known. It was the road to a home, and they had to take It, even though It was the everlasting home of six feet of sod or desert dust. The Oregon Trail was made by people of sublime faith and wretched Judgment, so far as their own fate was concerned. The odds were against every one who started. If they could have carried Insur ance insurance of life, of health, of destination It would have been less heroic; but It would have been as successful, perhaps, and Infi nitely more comfortable. And yet. people today face almost as great odds. In many of the things they do. They neglect to make wills, and Invite the shyster to gob- Boxing Instincts Did Not Preserve Old Sot Griffo "Young Griffo." an Australian aald to be the cleverest boxer In the history of the world, died recently In a wretched hovel In New York, and was burled by charity.

"Never had a chance," he aald. when asked why he didn't succeed. "No education, no training how could I win?" Another California lad, Fidel I-a Barba, recently won the world's championship In his class. He was champion at the Olympic games; then he turned professional, and cleared up something like 1100,000 cash. Then he hung up his gloves.

He's going there almost as fast as he did In Uie ring when he was supreme champion. Even the prise-fighter has a chance for an education. Young Orlffo had his, and he laid down on It La Barba grabbed It and hung on. The chance comes to every man. Thrift la not In helng Usy or ' atlngy, with time or money or en deavor, but in keeping a proper balance between the labor a thing entta and Its worth when one gets It. Orlffo, the peerless boxer, had the tramp's Idea of worth and he died bloated hulk, burled br cliArttr. blc up the savings their families should have. They carry no life or fire or accident insurance; along comes a $10 car or a 10 for a cent cigarette stub, and life and health and property go sailing up to the pearly gates or down to the gates of white-hot brass, as one has lived his life but they go with deadly certainty In cither case. They have no budget, no bank account, no sav ings account; appendicitis or a lost Job or twins spring Into the home like a swarm of hungry catamounts on Mary's pet lamb, and the lamb Is all over but the strangled yell. The Oregon Trailers had little op tion, because Insurance and budgets and savinrs banks were hardly known, and they simply had to open the west for the soul of Amer ica. But the man today knows every peril, and he has a parry for every thrust of fate. If he doesn't use It, It's his own fault. But for the take of the family, who can't help what dad or mother do or do not do, these thrifty prob lems ought to be worked out Moth er Is a voter, a legal person, a rec ognized element of social and legal and spiritual partnership. It she doesn't take her half of the load of responsibility, It drags or Is lost and left behind. Mother falling to take her halt of the responsibility for Insurance, wills, savings, budget Is like a knight going Into battle with armor on only one side like Achil lea with his vulnerable heel, like a wooden ship without its copper sheathing to foil the shlpworm, like a fireman without the hydrant wrench. Mother can say much more than she did In the days of the Oregon Trail, about how the family Is go ing to travel and what they are to take on the Journey of life. It will be largely up to her as the conserv ative partner If the family falls prey to the wolves and the ava lanches and the windstorms and the starvations of life. Mother ought to make Thrift Week last 52 weeks of every year. JEFFERSON PEOPLE HAVE BUSY WEEK Jefferson, Jan. 21. Rosco Biehn of Klamath Falls Is visiting at the home of . and Mrs. J. O. Van Winkle.

(?) Legis lation to strengthen the court's power In centencing bootleggers and rum-runners has been urged before a house Judiciary committee by Mabel Walker Willebrandt, as sistant attorney general. Mrs. Willebrandt endorsed a bill by Representative Stalker of New York, republican, which would strengthen the Volstead act by pro viding a fine up to $10,000 or im prisonment up to five years or both for illegal manufacture, sale or transportation of liquor. The Vol stead act Imposes six months' Im prisonment or a fine up to J1000 or coin ior tnese oiienses. she said. 'The hands of the courts are tied at present when a large liquor of- enoer Is arraigned." she ieclared.
