Booth as BillpOster.

One story of Booths trip to the Sand
witch Islands remains with me. He had
gone there in 1854 in company with his
comrade, Mr.. David G. Anderson, en-
route to Australia, and they were to play
in the Royal Hawaiian theater. They
had hired a native to paste up the bills
announcing the performance. This had
to be done with a preparation named
"poe-poe," made from a vegetable called
"tara-tara," which is a favorite food in
Honolulu, but the poor man was so hun
cry that yielding to temptation he incon-
tinently ate up the paste, and to their
surprise 10 bills appeared. When the
reason was ascertained, they feared to
trust another native, and it was there
fore agreed that as Booth was the young
er he should act AS billposter, and it came
to pass that every night after the per-
Torrance Edwin went about the city
with his play bills and bucket of paste
and put up with his own hands the post
ers announcing what the company would
play on the following night. And he as
sured me that he did this honestly and
did not eat any of the paste!-William

WAR UPON CAPITAL.

Texas is reaping the fruits of war
on capital that has been carried on
there for some years past by the legisla-
ture and the public men. Their efforts
to drive out capital have at last been
successful, and the result is that indus
try has been driven out too, and the op-
portunities for remunerative labor are
few and far between. The process by
which this result has been accomplished
is one that has been tried in a good
many states, but which seldom has
proved so successful. for the reason that
the people have walked UP and put a
stop to it before it has been fully COM
pleted. Prominent in the process of
course. was the denunciation of those
who had invested money, or thought of
doing so, in Texas, as Shylocks, because
they wanted to get some return from
The Portland daily press., 1894-05-21

their Investments. Another step in the
process was the passage of stringent
usury laws, which of course harassed
capital and made it difficult to get the
interest it wanted. Still another step was
the passage of laws fixing railroad charges
so as to cripple those wicked monopolies
as much as possible. Still another was
the passage of laws against alien own
ership of land. No one of these things
would have done the business, but al
together they have done it most effectu-
ally.
There was no state in the Union whose
future seemed to be more brilliant few
years ago than Texas It's undeveloped
resources were practically unlimited,
and its possibilities were vast. North
ern capital had begun to flow into it,
and an era of prosperity seemed to be
dawning when the people caught the
anti-capital craze and began to invite
men who had invested money in the
state to retire. A last the most of them
did retire, with the result that Texas
is now hard up and wants Congress to
issue more money to help her out. The
State of Kansas has had somewh at
simmilar experience though there are
hopeful signs of recovery in that state.
1t would seem as if actual experience
was not needed to teach the error that
labor cannot get long without capital
any better than capital can without Ia
s,or. 1t would seem that the depend
ence of one upon the other was SO OBJ
vious that he who runs might read. Ye
spirit of hostility to capital is con-
stantly breaking out. and capital is be-
ing driven off as if it were public enc
my. And the most curious thing about
it is that the driving off is generally
done in the name of labor and ostensibly
for it's benefit.
