Nothing escapes the Oregouian
in times of politics. 1t lays the
blame for strike at Leadville, Colo
rado, at the doors of an ex-governor
and the free silver agitation. Colo
RADIO now has a republican COVER
nor and has had for year and a
half. We suppose the Oregonian
would lay the blame of the great
strike at the Carnegie works few
years ago, on to the free silver
agitation also.

with greater popular favor than his

A big strike is on at Leadville,
Colorado, and scenes of violence
mark the pathway thereof. The
trouble arose about a month ago
over the scale of wages to be paid
in the mines at that place. A
strike occurred and mines have
oeen partially worked by the non
strikers. Last Sunday night a
collision occurred between the
mine workers and the strikers ant!
the result was the destroying OF
thousands of dollars worth of prop.
erty and the loss of five lives.

The LEADER finds no fault, but
on the other hand admires, the
action of the republicans in this
county in enrolling the ladies on
their club rolls. We have full
faith in the integrity and compre-
hension of the women of our land,
and we hope that the day may not
be far distant when the right will
be extended to them all over en-
lightened America, not only to sign
club rolls, but to have the same
sacred right to cast the ballot that
their husbands, fathers and brothers
now have. We only want to see
their rights abridged by one con-
dition, and we want that condition
applied to every voter, male or
female, black or white, Christian
or infdel, and that is an educational
test properly applied. We hope to
see the day soon come when we
will have universal suffrage with
out regard to sex, and that no one
will be allowed to vote unless they
can read, write and give a reason
able explanation Of the constitution
of the United States and Of the
state in which they live. when
called upon to do 50. For one, the
editor of the LRADER is not at all

The campaign is getting decidedly
warm in Oregon. 1t is the first
time for many years that the repub-
licans have ever been in any real
danger of losing the state, and they
are going to make heroic efforts to
keep it in line. On the other hand
the opposition is greatly encouraged
by the promise of victory and are
making all energetic campaign.
The result is that there will he
hardly precinct in the state but
what will be visited by speaker of
more or less prominence on beth
sides of the contest. In addition
thousands of pieces Of campaign
literature are being distributed
through the mails to voters direct.

During the last month in Iowa !
have heard more absurd and utter
ly false statements made in regard
to Mexico than I ever thought
could be conjured up by mortal
man, all to deceive the voter.
One most heard is that you can
take one American dollar into Mex

lars for it, or that you can get a
meal and throw down an American
dollar and they will give you back
in change a Mexican dollar. l
, brand this as utterly false in every
respect, lie manufactured out Of
whole cloth l assert that a Mex
ican will not accept all American
dollal, either gold, silver or paper,
for any amount, but will refer you
to broker, when you can sell your
silver dollars as bullion for Mex

with YOU The largest hotel in the
city of Mexico will not accept
American money under any circum-
stances. but will invariably refer
you to broker.

can take silver bullion to either ol

yet this comparison Is not exactly q Just one.
"A Few bits OF scenery are furnished up, a
company of pretty girls is engaged, whose
pretty legs make you forget their cultural
voices; one comic actor, or two, if necessary,
and two female singers of more or less re-
pute. These are arrayed in gaudy costumes
their mouths. There is not a shadow of ac-
tion A succession of jokes, interrupted by
songs and a few local gags-that is all that
is necessary to obtain success. Do not let us
forget that it is obligatory to dance Jig after
every piece, and that the star will have an
assured triumph if she knows how to do the
split One must have some gymnastlc ability
to I'LL the role of a singer in comic opera, and
she who knows how to turn double somer-
sault head first arrives at once to the height
of fame. One thing that strikes you In all
the comic opera theaters Is that every singer
the star as we'll as the member of the chorus
beats time with arms and legs or by con-
tnuous motion of the body. Every one Is
a leader of the orchestra. After all, this Is
not more annoying than various other things.
You have served up to you number Of
pretty girls, and if your ears sometimes pass
bad quarter OF an hour your eyes are re-
called without stint with the grimaces and
the lascivious gestures of all this assemblage.
Yes, my DEAR you have read the word I
have written, 1ascivious,' and I stick to it.
In the comic opera theaters the girls lift
their legs as they do at the Moulin Rouge,
and there is nothing left for the audience to
guess at"

fashion:

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, April 9.-It mas been my good
fortune and factor in my education to meet
the brilliant artist, Mrs. Charles E. Lakey,
who is making New York city her temporary
art home. In her down town studio 1 have
seen the noble canvases, the result of her work
in Europe-in Paris, Florence and London.
Mrs. Lakey is a pupil of Van Marcke Tin
fact, the only private pupil he ever had). She
has followed his example rather than his ex-
amples and created for herself, or rather
evolved for herself, her own style. Her verve
and originality impressed her master, accus-
toned as he was to servile imitation, and he
advised her to seek no more tuition from
teachers, however named, but to give all her
heart to nature, the only teacher she needed.
Thus he recognized her great talent.
AS a girl, Mrs. Lakey scarcely suspected the
natural bent of her own talent. Her early eff
forts in art were exclusively idyllic Claudelike
studies. In those early days it is doubtful if
she painted a COW at all, save as an appropri
a masterful motif
AS child, Mrs. Lakey longed for nothing so
much as to paint, only to painti When she
was five years old her childish geography, her
spelling manual. were painted to the full.
Margins to pages there were none 1t was all
a story Of the artist, red, white and blue.
But her father had determined to make
mathematician Of her. Woe to the friend
who should encourage what he considered
proftless pastime-the old story of Jacob,
whose ambition for his son was sheep shearing,
while Gods goal for the boy was to walk
among the stars. So the paints were borne
away from her.
Now the question came UP, how to get
them? IT had plenty Of writing paper says
