ALL THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR

1t is probable that as long as the Thaw millions exist
someone will he putting up some kind of a job to get a pull
at them. The lawyers especially Jerome, for whom Thaw
was a regular meal ticket reaped a harvest from the Thaw
financial field, and now comes a suit in damages for
$650,000 against Thaw for the ~whippings administered
Frederick Gump, Jr. 1t is the elder Gump who feels most
aggrieved at the ~whippingS and who sets the amount that
VIII compensate the boy. Of course the amount of the
damage is u fixed by the amount the defendant is possessed
OF. That is the legal way. A foreclosure of a mortgage
securing the payment of a note of 500 requires just as
much work on the part of the lawyer as it does to fore
close for a hundred thousand, yet the bill in the latter
case would run into the thousands, and his honor, the
judge, would look wise and pronounce it a just and reason
able charge and give judgment for the same. 1t is the
same principle that fixes the damages for a whipping
done by a millionaire at $65O,000, while if the whipper
had been of small means he would have been hailed into
court and fined from $40 to $50, and costs. Like nearly
everything else, the law business is run on the principle
of all the traffic is worth.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION

The governor intimated at the meeting of the Emerg-
ency Board Wednesday that he was seriously considering
the calling of a special session Of the legislature to deal
with the strike situation. In discussing matters with the
board this statement was made incidentally. The gov
ernor spoke strongly saying if he was at all certain the
legislature would create a compulsory arbitration board
to act during the continuance of the war he would feel
impelled to call such a session. He remarked it would
require considerable political bravery on the part of the
legislature to create such a board, but he believed it
would be for the best. While not intimating anything of
the kind, he evidently feared legislators would be in
fuenced in their actions to a greater or lessor degree by
the fact that such a move would put the labor unions in
opposition to all who assisted in passing it. While some
otber settlement may be reached soon through the federal
mediators now on the way to Portland, it is probable that
if this is not done the extra session will be called, and a
board such as the governor suggested will be formed. 1t
is up to Union labor to say whether or not it wants such
a law placed on the statutes. If it does not it will meet
the mediators half way and see that work in the ship
yards is resumed.

were chatting and dining unsteady.

old Wadsworth Strings and young and
beautiful Celestine Vichy-had inst
come from the opera, where Caruso had
just sung in "Attaboy.'
With alteration in his eyes-even tho
glass one-Wadsworth Strings leaned
towards her across the dimly lit table.
"Celestine, - he breathed, "never for
a moment, since I fell in love with the
way you served wheat cakes at the
quick lunch counter have T regretted
taking you from those sordid surround
ings and preparing you to be my wife.
The airs and graces of a lady fit you
as one to the name born, and even
the sharpest eye could not pierce thru
to your humble beginning as a waitres.
All, Celestine, let us dine"
Picking up the menu card, he said,
what do you say to a nice tender
loin steak, French fried potatoes and
coffee7'
Celestine, whose thoughts had been
with Fred Cookie at the soda fountain
started and yelled at the top of her
voice, "Broil one medium-two sides
of French fries-draw two!"
"Excuse me a moment, Celestine, -
shuddered old Strings when the echoes
had died down, "I-I must telephone to
my housekeeper not to forget to warm
my sheets for me-"
And he tottered out of CeIestine g
life for ever, and she had to pay the
bin with one of the diamond rings he
had given her.

Senator LaFollette is now endeayoring to prove that

his arfnor of egotism and he realizes that the people OF
this country have stood for this pro-German in the senate

quiet public sentiment will force the senate not only, to
expel him but also to see that he is prosecuted for his

interests. LaFollette now denies these things and con-
tends that all the stenographers were mistaken in their
reports---a defense he seems not to have thought OF dur

Portland. A few jumps like that and we would be near
enough that Portland would not raid our preserves on

there will be no Salem nor other Oregon towns to patron

Rialto Theatre yesterday. Geraldine

"The womap God Forgot" This Is a
film story OF tho Aztecs and their col
lapse before Cortex. II proved TO be
a spectacle OF imposing character. the
staging and handling OF scenes re-
minding one strongly OF grand opera.
And Farrar's work also was remin-
iscent OF the Metropolitan.
Wallace Reid, as a Captain OF Cor
tez, obtains admission 10 the Aztecs'
city. He Is attacked at tho insuga-
tion OF q young chieftain who aspires

She hides the Captain. but he is

in time TO save the Captain from
being sacrificed on tho morn OF her
enforced wedding to tho chieftain.
The wedding halts too. Theodore
Koslorr had the role OF tho Aztec lover
and gave II genuineness that was
very convincing. His work added
much 20 the picture.
There was n stirring finale with a
number OF battle scenes which ranked
with the best that have been seen
here. The film is a little more pre-
tentious than most screen produc tions
so far as the story and Its handling
are concerned. Farrar's playing might
have been upon an opera stage, and
her training there served her to good
purpose.
