OREGON WEATHER f Fair; gentle northerly winds, KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First FREE SPEECH i One evening last week Eugene V. Debs, condemned to 10 year im pnaoiaiont for violating tho osnion age at. addressed a mass-meeting of brother Socialists In Cleveland He re-iterated his charge that Uo ernment was persecuting the social ist party. He. praised the Russian Bolshevikl. He assailed the motives with which the United States entered the war and the spirit in which it is now making peace. He accused the government of trying to stifle "free ' speech" and defied the authorities to silence him and his followers. A socialist editor, from the same platform, made a speech of similar tenor, holding the Bolshevik! up as Inspiring examples, and condemning the "tyranny" of the United States government. He also had much to say about "silencing free speech." The socialist audience then raised their hands and swore that "either Gene Debs would get out of Jail, or they would get In." This meeting was held two or three days after the supreme court of the Tnited States had upheld the Debs sentence. Debs was still out on hall, and was not molested. Not s man of that crowd was arrested Not a policeman's club was swung to Interfere with . their false, mis chievous and seditious utterances. And they complain that "speech is not free In America." FILMS IMPROVING ' Movie art is Improving," says Charlie Chaplin, confidentially. "I havent thrown a pie for a year." If the lugubrious and acrobatic Charlie means to lntimatp that he has turned over a new leaf, that last pie may become historic. It seems to deserve a certain fame,, anyhow from the fact that It hit a king In the face, and that the film had a big success In where do you suppose? In Japan? Thowing custard pies never was considered very high art. The oper ation Is unquestionably funny, but It palls at last on grown-ups.

American cowboys liuro recently attending a livestock convotillou I'.vpnwd pref erence for boxing matches ovor bull flglits. They wont to a boxing pro s-ram in'Uhcrly hall one evening am! a bullfight In the Juiire bullring serous Jho border the following after noon. Tho boxlnx contest were between evenly matched young soldiers from the military district horo and the cattlemen cheered the winners. Thw same cattlemen , express great disgust over the hull right. Much blood was spilled, many wom en left the rlug and tho cowboys yelled their disapproval of the af fair. "Shoot him put him out of his misery." cried tho Amorlrnns after tho toreadors made three unsuccess ful tries at dispatching one bull. Most of the crowd left In disgust af ter the second bull was finally stab bed to death. ter to eat pies and throw something else. Or maybe it Is better to throw nothing at all, but to depend on his trionic methods of a more subtle sort. The movies are plainly moving In that direction, to the relief of dis criminating patrons. It Is strange, somehow, that the very movie star who by common con-1 sent 1b pronounced "the greatest ar tist In the films" should so long have subdued his artistry to the cru dest of slap-stick work. We shall hope for better things henceforth. from him and his fellow-millionaires. ' It's a wise town that Is preparing free camping grounds for the sea son's tourists," says the Oregonlan. 30.000 MILES SCHOOL GARDEN'S ARE POPULAR Evidence ot the rapid development of the schoo! s-arden work In Chicago Is found in the fact that two years i ago there were 33,000 such gardens. Last year there were 87,000. This year the garden extension depart ment expects the number to reach 100,000. In Maine It is proposed to make gardening an Integral part of the school work of every child, so import ant is It considered. School gardens have proved a source of profit and enjoyment to the youthful gardeners in every sec tion where the work has been ser iously undertaken. The children love working with the earth, plant ing seeds and cultivating flowers and vegetables. The school garden makes It possible for many a youngster with no back yard to have Just as mu'-h fun and pride In a garden all hip very own as the happier child who cultivates his little patch in a corner of dad's larger garden. Because the gardens have been so generally suc cessful In actually producing good, though small crops, they have served to Introduce fresh vegetables In homes where they had been almost unknown. Here's wishing long life and suc cess to the school garden Idea and to the children who have learned little lessons of patience and perse verance, of the results of honest ef fort, of the pride of achievement, and who have found health and happiness lir their garden Work. SOLDIERS' INSURANCE Fifty per cent of- the dischargee' snlriiora are not keeolna UD thcit monthly insurant payments. Vany of them intend to keep them up no doubt, and fail to do so simply be cause they do not kmw how t- handle the premium payment" In." whatever the reason, tho result is t.n fortunate. Continued neglect of this matter will result in the forfeit ing of the policies, leaving the ex soldiers without their insurance pro tection, and making it necessary for! them to pay much hlsher rate-i if they undertake later to buy policies from private companies. The government intends to con tinue its Insurance department, changing ttte system of psyments so as to make it simpler for the menj concerned. The rates Kill be based ! on those charged by the private life insurance companies, but inasmuch as the government will pay all the costs of administration, the ex-sol dier will have to pay only 80 per cent as much as lie would pay a private company. The new plans will offer 4. AT THE MOVIES. There are Just three people who know bow and why D." W. Griffith named the hoydonish little street singer in his latest triumph, "Hearts ot the World." which will bo. shown at the Joy theater beginning tonight, "the little disturber." Some might have guessed It, but ony those three, Lillian Gish, D. W. Griffith and Mrs. Glsh actually knew that It was Dor othy's own personality wlil-'h ac counted tor that altogether filtliu monicker In the biggest war and love play that the screen has ever seen. Dorothy in real life is "the little disturber" Bbe has been "it" ever since she awoke ono day In Juno, 1S9S. She has had her fingers in all the family pies and wherever she could all these years and when Mr. Griffith cast her for the part in his new play, he knew that she would make a minor role a creation that would draw the applause of mil lions. She "butted in" as per usual, 'in fact, she pjt her fingers in the celluloid pie that D. W. Griffith worked on for two years and drew forth a plum that has earned hr as much glory in a few weeks as that little Horner person came by In 7" years. Some people even give her the credit for the best impersonation In a play that Is significant for Its realism and tho human quality of Its character. San Francisco, Mar. 21. -The con crete ship has como to stay; It Is to be a real and active competitor of the steel ship, according to U. J. Wig, head of the concrete division of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Wig has Just completed an inspection tour of tho fivo yards where the United States government Is turn ins out concrete ships. . Just a year ago the first concrete ship of commercial size was launch ed here and .was christened the "Faith." Shipping men and portlc ularly structural engineers aay that perhaps no ship ever was tho sub ject of so many skeptical forecasts while being built nnd previous to operation thBn this.' Yet these men dvlare the namo was a happy nnd that the faith of her builders had been Justified. The Faith, according to last re ports had traveled more than 30,000 ! miles, nnd no defects of construction have manifested themselves other than her performance has shown how better concrete ships enn bn hullt.
