Portland AYYiUeS

Portland has made great discovery Alone among
the cities of the northwest the Oregon metropolis has dis
covered grand opera At any rate she first Grand
opera stars of them of the first magnitude have for
the time being displaced all other stars in the Portland
and star gazing has become quite the popular past
time The fact that opera troupe is merely
cation of greedy foreign artists engaged in exploiting the
people for profit, only increases their furore.
Grand opera in America is fashionable fad of those
who have money than they know what to do with
Their patronage has closed the doors to real lovers of
music who barred by the exorbtant prices forced by
the fabulous salaries paid principals, salaries many times
large paid the artists in other lands and entire
y of keeping with their ability salaries which in the
long demoraze the recipients and their profession
Grand opera is financed by the overrich who subscribe
large for boxes which afford occasion for the
display of the peacock propenstes of their possessors
Those with social aspirations apparently glad to pay
for the privilege of paradng their jewels, and
charms thus providing subsidy which enables the
ment of extravagent salaries Those climbers who cannot
buy boxes pay fancy prices for seats to display their
vanity and to crafty their curiosity for closeup of fash
ions fobes. Music lovers seldom pay the prices and
either forced to remain away crowed into distant
galleries.
This particular grand opera company that captured
Portland is the paythng of multi millionaire petted
darling of inherited wealth, who is said to have cheerfuly
punged up 100000 this under the deusion
that he elevating and civizing Chicago Music hath
charms to sooh the breast but the windy city
is quite beyond the pale He has provided exclusive
society function-that is all.
Portland however, is different story. The city that
could not fill it's community chest for charity in three
months raised grand opera guarantee of $4,000 three
hours and the event made gala community affair
The state executive issued proclamation of congratuation
the wonderful enterprise of the city, Officials publicly
welcomed the troupe royalty welcomed before the
The governor of Oregon and the mayor of Portland
bussed the leading lady, like true Gilbert and Sullivan
Only the absence of Portands wandering boy the
envoy extraordinary and minister penpotentay for the
1926 exposition prevented perfect day. Society, be-
decked and begemmed strutted to the glad occasion
Newspapers threw spasms Of publicity and sobsisters of
the press spilled columns of sentimental ush just to show
that they could do it and that Portland knew all about it
just like the rube at the county fair.
The great occasion is over, but it wonderful while
it lasted Portland has covered herself with glory En-
ghtened and refined from her lofty perch in the temple

''Invisible Empire" Nonsense
(Spokane Spokesman Review

Two masked figures, in the
white robes of the Ku Klux Klan
theatrically stalked into the Meth
Jdist tent tabernacle where re-
vival services are being held, and
silently handed the presiding evan
gelist a purse and a letter. In
the letter they purported to
speak for the authority of "the
invisible empire located at Spo-
kane," which, they declared,
stands for "a strong, free man
hood" and for "a pure and un-
orammeled Americanism."
The truth is that the Ku Klux
Klan and its methods are diamet-
really in conflict with true Amer
icanism. Americanism stands for
law, order and open government; ;
for authority delegated to select
ed individuals chosen under the
constitution, the laws and the will
of the majority.
There is no 'invisible empire"
about the government and the in

ization in the constitution, the

To the Editor: After reading
the editorial in Friday night
Journal, regarding the labor trust
am of the opinion that you have
aot given the matter due consider
4tion. Therefore, let us examine q
few facts: The average wage fol
railroad men is approximately 81
cents per hour. In return for this
reward one moves 100000 pounds
0f freight ten miles and carries a
passenger and his baggage so
miles for each day that he works
During government manage
ment, when labor was "ineffi-
cient," and Lying down" on the
job, each employe moved 10000
pounds of freighy ten miles each
day. The result to the consumer
is this: The freight charges on a
suit of clothes from New York to
Salem is about 35 cents; on a
pair of shoe from St. Louis to Sa-
lem, about Is cents. The man in
Chicago, who buys ten pounds of
Oregon prunes is paying about
12R cents for moving them half
way across the continent; prob
ably less than the grocer receives
for wrapping them up and taking
his money. The freight On 21R-
pound can of fruit, delivered at
eastern points is about 3 cents,
which adds very little to the cost
Of same, when we consider the
service rendered. Take the freight
charges on an automobile from
Detroit to Salem, about $50. The
salesman, who drives it out IN the
hills and demonstrates it to a
prospective buyer, in all proHabil-
ity, makes this sum out of the
transaction.
Yet because the unorganlzed
worker is receiving a wage that
allows for only a bare existence,
and has accepted one cut after an
other, is no reason why the rail-
road employees should reduce their
standard of living. A 20 per cent
reduction in wages, If reflected in
reduced rates, would benefit the
average family about the same as
taking 20 cents a year off the sub
scription price of it's daily paper.
The class that would benefit by a
reduction in wages is that Of the
stockholder, and stockholders are
the ones who backing all this agi-
tation for reduction in wages. The
fact that we organized to fight for
Just wages and working conditions
does not constitute US a labor
trust.

The Aftermath.


The doctor stepped quickly for
ward from the foot of the bed.
Until he moved l do not think
that anyone of us had dreamed
that Kitty was dead-or even dy-
ng!
At the sound John Storm looked
up vacantly and then quickly back
10 Kitty's face. Once more he bent
and kissed her lips and then low
ingly, reluctantly, as though
loathe to say farewell, he drew
the sheet up over her head.
Then he raised me to my feet
and without even a backward
glance he walked quietly to the
door and l went with him.
AS we reached the street the
darkness of night had come. The
grey fog of California had settled
down and its ghostly fingers
seemed to clutch my heart. l tried
TO keep my mind upon the street
lights shimmering through the
mist for l felt that otherwise
would go mad in this grey world
peopled with ghosts.
Even as l clung to John Storms
arm l had a feeling as though
even he were not human. My
whole being seemed to resolve it
self in a desire to hear a human
voice and then, from out the night
came:
Extra! Extra! Moving picture
actress murdered, Kitty Dalton,
film star, assassinated by insane
man. Extra! Extra!"
ooh, John, John"
Understanding, he caught me
and held me close in his arms.
Don't Virgie. Don't. Be brave
We must help each other bear the
shock"
Il cant help it, John. 1t cant
be true. She never had chance
until now. 1t isn't right. 1t isn't
right. God can't mean TO have it
So"
Hush. child. We must not ques-
tion.
do you not question, John?" l
whispered wonderingly.
What good are questions
now?"
Silently he put me in the car
and drove through the streets to
the apartment. l could not re-
strain my sobs and as though he
had borne all that he could, he
turned away.
l know his heart could bear no
more.
l stumbled into the lobby and
loving hands and tender voices
greeted me. l dId not know until
afterwards that Angela Brown,
the girl at the desk, who had nelp-
ed me out once before in buying
my clothes, had waited from 8
o'clock for ME and that Tack
Thompson followed us up to my
ioor and called a physician at An
yela's request.

ne into bed. l seemed to be
'acked with sobs that threatened !

epress them. The terrible trag |
'dy l had witnessed and the loss

"Is this Miss Winston?"
Yes. II is I. Theo, Virgie. And,
Theo. 1 just can't work today"
II don't suppose you can, my
dear, but II you had listened to
me, baby-child, this would not
have happened. l told you at the
very first that you should not
make an intimate friend of Kitty
Dalton or any other woman Of her
ilk. The whole colony is agog

But, Theo, she is dead. Kitty

afresh and dropping the receiver
l threw myself across the bed.
