Pioneers of Old Oregon.
Seattle Post-IntelIlgencer0

| Senator McNary of Oregon has introduced bill providing for appropriation and cooperation Of the Federal Government with Oregon in erecting a memorial at Champoeg Salem, to the pioneers of the Oregon country. The bill has been reported tfavorably by the Senate Library Committee, which lin it's report declares that Champoeg "is in class by itself" The committee rightly senses the sngu- larity of the eary-day Willamette Valley meeting in American history
 Irrespective of stiff, formal documents and be- ribboned treaties American sovereignty in the Ore gon country"-whch includes the State of Wash ington-dates from that May morning of l843 when Joe Meek, with the stout toe of his boot, plowed furrow in the rich soil of the Willamette Valley at Champoeg and said: Who's for divide? All in favor of the report follow me"
 Joe and ffty-one others stepped to the right side of the line-for the United States Fifty stood at the left-for Britain. provisional government was organized under the Stars and Stripes instead of the Union Jack. "Ffty-four forty or fight" in the passage of time has taken it's place as historic political bunk. But fifty-two to fifty-and no fight-was enduring action forged in the glowing patriotic heat of earnest men It deserves mem orial
 Strangely enough two French Canadians turned the balance-one in fact-F. x. Matthieu He had fallen in with the White party at Fort Laramie proceeding to Oregon, where he lived with the fam fly of Etienne Lucier, fellow countryman Mat thieu wanted an American provision government Lucier, like many other pioneers didn't want any Government meant laws and taxes Lucer had been told that the United States taxed windows He had two or three openings in his cabin covered with sheepskin. He afraid of increased overhead But when Meek called for divide Matthieu had won. Lucier followed him. and both follow led Joe.
 No one can say that the international boundary would have been differently located today had the two French Canadians located the other way, mak- ing it fifty-two to fifty for Great Britain But even after the provisional government was firmly established, British statesmen made a determined effort to draw the boundary line down the Co., lumbia River. In the meantime the example set south of that stream by pioneers from the States encouraged American penetration and settlement to the north, giving unanswerable arguments to our diplomats who finally able to fix the boundary at the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude
 If it had not been for the work of the Oregon pioneers in laying in hardship the foundation for American sovereignty, determination of the inter- national boundary might not have been achieved ploodlessly. The people of this Nation can afford to be generous in perpetuatng their memory. The McNary Bill should pass.

AMERICAN LABOR SAFE AND STABLE.

The circumstance that Union labor is in no wise involved in the recent disturbances in several places which have been designed to cause an uprising against the capitalist system is worthy of special note It might be added that the fact that the skilled workmen, and most of those who are un- skilled. not in sympathy with the communists demonstrations has operated to do doom them to failure before they began. In fact, the outbursts have been seryicable largely because they have dem onstrated clearly the sanity and stability of Am erican labor. The great majority of the member ship of Union Labor in the United States has no use for Communism Socialism
 Under the circumstances it is evident that the countrys welfare has nothing to fear from the weird demonstrations that have occurred in Los Angeles and two or three other places in none of which than handful of people participated

It is expected that tickets will be distributed in about three months

The Tribute to MT. Hughes.
(New York World.)

The appointment of MT Hughes as Chief Justice of the United States has been received with uni versal approval This approval constitutes strik- ing tribute to the character which MT. Hughes through his long public has fixed in the mind of the American people It is in many re- spects extraordinary that the American people should feel that way about him. For MT. Hughes has not led a coistered life. He has been in the thick of many of the greatest controversies of our time. And in these controversies few men have struck harder and more effective blows Certainly there is no man alive in this country who is match for MT. Hughes as a partisan advocate. Few men have been in so many situations which aroused a great partisanship and provoked so many ene- mics. Yet even those who have felt the force of his blows recognize in him the type of man in whom a nation rightly places its confidence
 In it's range and in it's scope the influence of the Chief Justice of the United States is poten- italy greater than that possessed by any other officer of the Government. Standing as he does, apparently aloof from the immediate issues of the day it lies within his power more than it is in the power of any other individual to shape the future. In those very rare instances when a brings to the office of Chief Justice a genuinely original and creative mind he may John Marshall did fix for generations the forms and modes of government MT Hughes is not in this sense an originating mind, but such minds few and very far be- tween. MT. Hughess belongs rather to the some what larger category of lawyers who are masters of things as they are, to the men who carry on and make viable and conserve an established way From this point of view he is ideally suited to the office. For the Chief Justice of the United States moves in that region where the traditions of the law merge with high policies of State It is here that the immense experience of MT Hughes Tn almost every phase of American government and his resounding practical competence in the handling of affairs are so evident as to justify the accama- tlon With which his appointment has been received

it in terms of brutal and inhuman class dscrm- inaton and class hypocrisy.
 But the rarin, tearin evangelist of enforcement from "Ioway" told the Nation nothing it did not already know. Since the inception of Prohibition enforcement, it has been matter of common knowledge and of mass resentment that the clubs and homes of the rich and powerful were not obedient to law than many others but were safe from search and seizure while those of the middle and poor classes were the common prey of Government snoopers.

Conrad Naeel's Luck.

THE most hard working young man
in Hollywood Is Conrad Nagel In
% months he has played 80 parts.
One Of the first of the silent actors
TO take a chance in the new loquaclous
medium, Nagel's luck has been extra
ordinary. He has seemed TO fit into
almost any picture contemplated on the
lot. Each one has carried him upward
in popularity. Now, after completing
his role in Norma Talmadge'S latest
picture, he is about to embark Oh well
earned vacation.
Nagel is perhaps one of the few &C
tors who looks upon motion pictures as
a business and, occasionally, as an art.
He believes. however, that inasmuch as
they are money makers, they have to be
turned out hurriedly and therefore i'm
perfectly.
He says Of this: Few studios can
take the time for sufficient rehearSals.
We are handed out parts; we learn them
and in day or two we play them. Can
we give our best? No; nor could Rach-
maninof have sat down and played his
prelude for the first time as he renders
1t now.
THE majority expects only entertain
ment from pictures. Fine films have
been given the public and seldom have
they been financially successful. There
fore, producers make for the people
what they are known to patronize, and
who can blame them2"

Reporters Invited.

IT was to be supposed, after the sor-
rowful manner in which he has
been treated in the movies that some
day the newspaper reporter would have
his day.
And Reporters Day in Court" or
I'm the Movies" as you will, has come
at last, thanks to the grace of the
mighty Warner Brothers, screen mag
mates, who are making their efforts for
the best upon the screen, silver sheet
and otherwise.
The Warner Brothers, like all the rest
Of the world, feel that there is real
demand for something new in the NOV
les, material, ideas, stories and what
not. which may be utilized as the basis
Of scenario. Everybody else appears
to have tried his hand in picturizing
the newspaper reporter and others as
ISOLATED with newspaper life. Now
they propose that the real reporter him
self shall take a hand in this business
and paint himself for others to see him
as he feels he should be seen.
Also he is invited to write and send
to the story department, Warner
Brothers, 321 West Forty-fourth street,
New York City, not later than Novem-
Der az, 1880, and other illusions Of
his own manufacture that may be uti-
lized in making new and really worth
while picture story. And, 1t would seem,
reporters who have risen higher in
their profession are not barred from
the invitation.

c.. B. Yields at Last.

THE mule in the Shavian tempera-
ment has been subdued. Now that
talking pictures have demonstrated the
fact that they are not to be as brief as
the life of a candle, George Bernard
Shaw has consented to have the picture
rights to all of his plays distributed to
Associated Radio Pictures. the English
associate of Radio Pictures Corporation.
The agreement was negotiated with the
playwright by Basil Dean, English stage
and screen director.
It seems that all the pictures are to
be made in England under the super
vision of Mr.. Dean. It is surmised that
English players will be used exclusively.
But the technicians are to be group
imported from Hollywood.
Although the first OF Mr.. Shaw's plays
to be screened has not been announced,
1t Is assumed that in view Of recent
statement by the author Arms and the
Man" will probably be the first to re-
ceive its celluloid baptism.
