Show cently Taylor made a big lilt in this play, the first stock production of the play, in Portland.. This is the first time the play has been presented by a stock company in this city, and it is one deserving of a great deal of credit. To tell the story of the play would only be unfair to the cast. The play is well staged and it is one of the best shows of the week in the city. There will be a matinee this after noon and a final performance tonight. A MAN MUST LIVE. Richard Dixs second starring picture for the Paramount, A Man Must Live, proved a feature attraction among the picture houses, and large crowds were pleasingly entertained by this excellent picture at the Paramount-Empress every day and evening during the week. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE WORKS SILENTLY BUT EFFECTIVELY His critics say that it is for party reasons that he does it silently, but that President Coolidge is steadily cleaning out the weak spots in government is a fact which they cannot deny. He could do it with great noise and advertisement if he wished and perhaps bring about his head a halo of saffron glory from the yellow press, but as he has never worked that way there would seem to be no fair reason to accuse his silence of being a method to prevent the public from knowing . just how bad the Republican office- holding crowd was found by him to be. That the president is working silently is a fact, but that he is working is a greater fact. Almost every day, two or three lines in the papers notify the public that an office holder here and there has been dropped. That is all. But behind some of these announcements there is a story, and there are now sufficient of them to indicate that the President is diligently pursuing a clean-u- p program which will eliminate the unfit and fill their places with servants of a more dependable type. It may be respect for the late President Harding that predisposes to silence; it may be a desire to cleanse the government without additional aspersions upon the party; but more likely it is the businesslike attitude of other important concerns which act upon the principle that the thing to do is the thing to be done, and get it over with. We have been educated of late in the notion that the chief business of a government is to raise a row. The true mission of the government is to do the nation's business honestly and efficiently. This seems to be President Coolidges view of the matter. Dearborn Independent. foreign policy has found a happy exception in the editor of the London Economist, recently, lecturing in this country. This gentleman frankly admits that the Dawes plan is a boon to Europe and that opinion in Great Britain Is overwhelmingly in favor of the report. It has removed the reparations question from politics, is stabilizing European exchanges, and is a great stimulus to business. This gentleman should have added that the Dawes plan would probably never have been suggested had the United States been a member of the League of Nations. In that event the suggestion would have had to come before the League for decision, and the United States, being a member, would have been an official participant with other members in giving it application. That is a responsibility we would not have assumed, but, being free of the League, our Secretary of State was able to propose the Dawes commission and our government was able to aid in making the report effective while not accepting official responsibility.

Til never marry again if WHY WE SUCCEED. for deep down in the heart she revels and freedom. On the other hand a I have the chance! This expression is the opening of the safety valve of women who are full to the point of bursting of married life. Longing to be free they clothe their hopes in words. Seemingly happily married they nevertheless fret and chafe under the double yoke, and they actually welcome the chance to hustle for themselves after the death of their husband. In a surprisingly short time widows of this type blossom forth in a second crop of youth and vivacity. Repainted and remodeled she sallies forth to conquer new worlds. The knowledge that she can now do as she darn pleases and that she wont be jawed at if she isnt home with a hot dinner ready on. the stroke of six, gives her a new lease on life. She enjoys loitering down town and going to shows and meeting interesting people and planning a career that will do justice to her talents.
