A REACTION SETTING IN

The hue and cry against Lieutenant
Governor Laughton is already begin
ming to react. The TRADE against him
by lot Of vindictive and reckless
newspapers was carried to such an ex-
IRENE that the level-headed people of
the country have grown thoroughly
disguised and the boomerang is re-
turning. The latest cry was so ridcu-
lousy false that it has shown on its
own face with such blush that 1t is
glaring. Notwithstanding the fact
that the then acting governor ap-
pointed commission to locate the
agricultural college, composed OF gen.
tlemen of such well-known integrity
that every newspaper in the state ap-
plauded the appointments, yet be-
cause the commission selected place
which did not suit the partisans of
another locality, the entire pack
opened again on the trail with the cry
of fraud and bribery, and Lieutenant
Governor Laughton was at once

affair. Passing over the plain sugges-
ton that II this were true, it would be

We have only to think of the period Gov
cred by Betterton's life to see how impor-
tant is his place in the annals of acting
Born in 1885, he appeared first on the stage
in 1860. fine opportunity for a young
actor to come into notice in the year of the
Restoration after the dreary regime (dreary
to actors at leasU of the commonwealth
and the protectorate. The stage had been
under the strictest supervision, and was
practically suppressed A few old actors
preserved in some sort the tradition of
Shakespeare day, and there was more
than one who claimed that he had had in
struction in great parts from Shakespeare
himself There were no actresses then.
There was Stephen Hammerton, "a most
noted and beautiful woman actor" and
later we find in Betterton's company one
Edward kynaston, who is described by
Pepys as "tbe loveliest lady that ever saw
in my life"
The Restoration changed all this, for as
early as Jan. 3, 1861, Pepys enters in his
book, ITO the theatre where was acted
'Beggar's Bush it being very we'll done,
and here the first time that ever | saw wo-
men come upon the stage" In the course
Of his long career as an actor-from 1860 TO
l1l0-Betterton was the chosen interpreter
Of all the heroes of English drama Be
sides acting the great parts of Shakespeare,
he suffered under Sir William Davenant
and later had the pick of ali the Restora-
ton drama In 1908 Jeremy Collie struck
heavy blow at authors and actors with
his Short View Of the immortality and
Profaneness Of the English Stage" which
was Intellectually answered by Congreve
Dryden, indeed, published an acknowl
edgment, "dignified and stately" of the
business of Collie's attack, so far as it re-
ferred to him. Betterton played at his own
benefit in 1909, and died in the following
year. He was the great actor of his time,
and was fortunate in wife whose talent
was hardly inferior to his own. The his
tory of his stage career, corresponding as
1t exactly does with the history Of the
Restoration drama, is of the highest posi-

an implication Of imbecility and
unfitness on the part Of the men,
bers Of the commission, it transpires
that the town at which the college
was located was about the only one of
the aspiring towns that did not raise
fund with the hope and intention of
influencing Herewith the commission.
1t is not a flattering comment upon
those who always smell out bribery,
fraud, bargain and intrigue against
those in official position, who do not
manipulate the affairs they are respon-
sible for, exactly to suit and please the
yelping scenters. On the contrary, it
is far more reflection upon those who
are always suspicious than upon those
whom they suspect, and that Governor
Laughton should especially be made,
without the slightest foundation in
fact, the subject Of all those pitiful
assaults, is simply plain evidence of
indecent demagogy and reckless Chi
canery. Those frost-bitten, stub-tOed

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
Queer superstitions INDUCED In by the
Players of Cards.

Queer Superstitions INDUCED In by the
Players of Cards.
One OF the most common superstitions is
that where a cardplayer who is not having
good luck gets up and solemnly walks
around his chair three times in order tc
propitiate fortune, or the player will call
for a new pack of cards. The partners in
a game of cards who have the grain of the
table running between them are also sup
posed to be helped thereby. This, accord
ing TO Notes and Queries, is an Irish super
stition. We also learn from the same
source that if you are card player, and not
having a table in your room start to play
cards on the bed then beware, for this is
an act sure to bring misfortunes innu-
merable.
Never throw pack of cards at any one.
as the act will bring all kinds of bad luck
to the person struck.
When you have a pack of cards which
have seen their best days do not commit
the imprudence of giving them away. 1t
Is also bad luck. The proper plan is to
burn them, and preferably with pepper
and salt.
The belief that a large number of people
have in the efficacy of fortune telling by
cards is too well known to dwell upon.
These people, when fortune teller is not
convenient, will often pick out their own
fortune by means of divers kinds of soli-
taire.
Then there is the old proverb, Lucky
at cards, unlucky at love"
In game of cards it is considered I'M
lucky to player to rest your foot on the
back rung Of his chair while looking at
tt" game. Rest your foot on one of the
side rungs or on the seat of the chair, but
the back rung never.
One of the most curious superstitions |
have met with is one which was told me Of
an old Irishman who could never be per-
suaded to play cards unless he wore his
hat. When pressed for reason he finally
gave this one. The devil is always around
when card playing is in progress, and not
to wear hat would be a sign of respect to
his majesty, and that would bring bad
luck

TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH

There is widespread disposition in
Fairhaven to celebrate the coming
Fourth Of July in unusually excel
lent style, and if that is to be done,
steps should be taken at once in the
way of preparation. The celebration
should be grand and joyful one, or
else it should be dropped at once and
not thought of further.
Last year our sister cities Of Sehome
and Whatcom did the celebrating and
Fairhaven participated, and it was
understood then that they would par
ticipate with us this year. The neigh
boring city Of New Westminster, over
the border, has already indicated de-
sire to come and celebrate with us,
and the accomplished Artillery band
of that city, one of the finest musical
organizations on the Pacific coast, of
whose ability Falrhaven has already
been amply assured, has promised to
be with US. We should have the usual
professions, oratorical, literary and
terpsichorean features, and then we
should have brilliant display Of fire.
works, decoration and ornamentation
of the city, Indian games, canoe races,
ETC., sailing matches, baseball and
everything else possible to make the
occasion big success.
In order To- do these things money
must be raised-all of which would
come back ten fold-it will be neces-
sary to print bills and posters to thor
oughly advertise the affair; a large
temporary pavilion should be erected,
and altogether it is needful that the
preliminary work should begin at once.
There should be mass meeting to
authorize the raising of money; for
appointment of committees, and to do
all the things necessary for a good
start. Only two months remain in
which to make all the preparations
and, plainly enough, there is no time
to be lost.
Let's have the grandest celebration
ever known on the Sound. We can
easily do it, and it will not only afford
a season of enjoyment and recreation,
but it will pay. Who will move in the
matter?

Lucky Pullman

Spokesman; The selection of Pullman
for the site of the agricultural college re-
fleets great credit on the good judgment
and impartiality of the commissioners.
The choice was made more promptly than
was expected, and Pullman itself was
hardly prepared to believe the good news
when 1t came. There had existed an i'm
preston that the commission would first
select a county, and then give few days
to considering the advantages offered by
the different towns. 1t is just as well,
perhaps, that the other policy was
adopted, for the cngendering Of strife
and Jealousy between rival towns was
avoided.

1t would be unfortunate TO the peo-

that its influence for good. 1t never

nately, the large majority Of persons
In control Of the newspapers Of this

guard its honor with jealous care.
Despite this, however, there are fire.
quently persons employed as cor

Operagoers are constantly using the
words vibrato and tremolo. and yet few
perhaps could tell wherein these two vocal
habits exactly differ. The matter is com

mean the same thing in instrumental and
