s. T. BLYTHE CELE-
BRATES BIRTHDAY

S. F. Blythe, pioneer publisher of
the Hood River Glacier, quietly cele-
brated his 18th birthday Sunday at a
family reunion at Twin Oaks Farm,
his Frankton home.
Mr.. Blythe is retired dean of Pacific
Coast printers. In his prime, before
| the linotype had come into existence,
he had no equal in his swiftness and
accuracy at the case. At Virginia
City, Mont, in 1867. and in Portland
in subsequent years, working on the
old Bulletin. Mr.. Blythe made records
that have never been surpassed.
"You hear frequent discussions to-
day of our financial stringency," says
Mr.. Blythe, "but conditions of today
are inconsequential to those of us old
timers who lived through 1873, the
year of Portland's great fire. A panic
had seized upon the entire country, and
our calamity added to our depression. Z"
A native of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Blythe
was living in Ohio at the outbreak of
the Civil War. Answering the call for
volunteers, he enlisted in the 22nd Ohio
! Infantry. He saw three years of ac-
tive service in the Mississippi valley.
He was with the army of Grant at
Fort Donaldson, Shiloh and Corinth.
After his discharge Mr.. Blythe re-
enlisted in Hancock s Veteran 5 Corps.
The corps was stationed in Washing
ton during the trial of Mrs. SurTatt
and fellow conspirators in the plot to
assassinate Lincoln. The regiment
was in charge of the execution.
On becoming a private citizen, Mr..
Blythe took the advice of Horace
Greeley and headed for the west. AT
ter working at Virginia City. Mont,
he returned home. but only remained
short time. He worked for a time
in San Francisco and at Sacrapento.
In June, 1870, Ben Halliday, planning
to start a paper in Portland, sent
James O'Mara to San Francisco to
purchase a plant. The San Francisco
Times had just ceased publication, and
Mr.. 0'Mara bought the entire outfit.
A foreman for the proposed Portland
plant was secured with instructions to
find a crew of swift, sober composit-
Ors, and Mr.. Blythe was among the
printers chosen for the journey north.
I'VE all came up on Mr.. Halliday s
boat" says Mr.. Blythe, "a party of

surviving printer of the party. Even
the pressmen came from San Fran

years and | remained with it. The
late Harvey Scott became its editor.
When it failed he became editor of the
OregOnian, where he made a national
name for himself. In 1875 a number
Of Us printers started the Daily Bee.

First PRESBYTERIAN Auxiliary.

The Woman's Auxiliary of the First
Presbyterian church held its social
meeting in the Lee Memorial room
last Tuesday afternoon. The meeting
was the closing one of the Auxiliary
year. Yearly reports we've rendered
and new officers elected. The several
reports from all divisions Of the Aux
iliary revealed most satisfactory in
crease and progress over last year,
and the president, in her narrative re
port expressed here gratitude and the
encouraging outlook the future held
in store. She bespoke also continue
ton of the enthusiasm both in spirit
ual and material matters. The clos
ing social hour was presided over by
Circle No. 4, who served delicious ice
cream and cake.
The officers elected were: Mrs. j. T

parties are in the throes o. reaction
at the present time, and many of their
earlier elements of strength and riri-
Ility are now lacking. Would not the
League of Women Voters. render a
very distinct service if it could sue
coed in reviving these decadent agen,
lcies, and restore the vital part Of their
mechanism which long since has been
permitted to atrophy?
But one of the parties, at least,
rises to object. The Republican party
is fighting the League of Women
Voters. 1t does not want the waters
troubled. 1t fears the addition of
this new element to our political life.
1t possibly forsees that a program of
independent discussion of public ques-
lions leads ultimately to a policy of
independent action, and that there
fore the old regime is threatened.
Governor Miller of New York voices
this fear, when in a speech to the
New York League of Women Voters,
he characterizes the organization as a
political heresy, and charges that it
is a menace to our institutions. He
declared himself opposed to any or
'ganization outside of the regular poll
teal parties which seek to exert poll
teal influences, but there is no record
of the distinguished Governor ever
having attacked any other of the ex-
tra-party associations which abound
IN New York, and which are admitted
ly political in purpose, partisan in
character, and decidedly baneful in
their influences. The Governor con-
fines his criticism to the League of
Women Voters alone, and this new
organization, designed to promote edu-
cation in citizenship and to foster pro
gressive and humane legislation, n,
characterizes as menace" Certain
other Of these extra-party organia-
lions are hoary with age, and infam-
GUS in their records of political schem-
ing and corruption--but Governor
Miller over-looks these in his attack
upon the newcomer into our midst,
and upon its program of construct
i've and welfare legislation.
The question arises, To what is the

League Of Women Voters a menace
Admitting that much of the Cover
nor's charges, we take issue with him
as to what is menaced by the League.
activities. Certainly, the activities OF
the League do not constitute menace
to our institutions" unless by in
stitutions the Governor means in
trenched political reaction, as repres-
ented by certain of the political par
ties, political lethargy and ndiffer-
ence to the public welfare, as pracfc-
ed by them, and self-eomplacent and
blissful ignorance of the newer spirit
of progress and aggressive citizenship
These things are threatened by The
Woman's League, and if the attack is
successful, new day will dawn upon
our political sphere. The apologists o.
the old order are naturally perturbed,
for an enlightened electorate would
not long tolerate conditions which, the
old parties have allowed to exist I'M
challenged. The first aim of the
League of Women Voters is an en-
)ightened electorate, at least so far as
they themselves are concerned, and
hence, IN very true sense, the Lea
que constitutes menace to all ienor-
arce Of the rights and duties of citi-
zenship. Once this object is relieved,
it is only natural that their intelligent
interest in political and social life will
lead the women into active participa-
ticn in all the duties and responsible
ties of citizenship. And when they
have assumed their full share of the
political burdens, their fresh zeal for
political betterment and social right
eousness will be valuable acquisition
to our common life. AS / see it
therefore, the League of Women Vot-
ers is IN no sense menace" to our
existing political institutions. except
IN so far as they seek to renovate
those institutions and re-vitalize them
1t is, however, a decided menace to
Ignorance, to conservatism, to react
ion, to "boss-ism" and government by
political rings, and to Indifference,
which is probably the greatest com
mon danger to democratic govern
ment.
The passage of the Sheppard Town
er Bill for infant and maternity hy
giene may ultimately be accredited to
the support of the League and other
women's organizations, and this is only
one of the splendid measures to which
it is now lending its Influence. 1t is
supporting also measures for direct
and full citizenship for women Tin

! tional opportunities more widespread
