The other day Register reporter was shown a

who we're competent to judge and it was pronounced
the genuine scale
This kind of thing ought to be stopped While
Oregon is not with San Jose scale, with

The Church and the Stage

e|~HE REGULAR spring meeting of the Church
" mans club, Episcopal organization at
Providence, Rhode Island, few days ago.
was an interesting event. and indication of the ten
dency of modern times. There an unusually large
unmber Of cergymen present. and the Subject for the
days discussion, "The Church and the Stage" the two
speakers being the Rev. Walter Bentley who is secre
tary OF the National Actors Alliance of America and
the veteran actor Joseph Jefferson. When Mr.. JEFF
ferson arose to speak the reception given him by the
many ministers present and their wives demonstrated
that they were not afraid to associate with actor
the most friendly terms, and in his graceful speech
Mr. Jefferson showed that he was not afraid to asso-
ciate with them.
Mr.. Jefferson pleaded with much earnestness for
closer relations between the church and thestage and
said great mistake is made by those pastors and
church people who strenu0usy oppose everything and
everybody connected with the theater. Anything
that would bring together two parties who have been
anagonistic for years would be matter for congratu'
lation An actor is human being, and there are
good and bad in the profession in everything else
know many, many actors who believe in the church
and go il regularly, and anything that viii bring
the church and the stage IN closer relation VIII nave
my hearty support" Mr. Jefferson said there is evil
as we'll as good the stage and in the profession, and
Il can not be doubted that OF the strongest ser
mons ever preached have come from the stage He
thinks that II the church and the stage were IN closer
relation the stage could be elevated and the evil
crushed out so that it's every influence would be for
the betterment Of all its patrons Ii is interesting TO
note that when he finished his address Mr. Jefferson
was appauded by the ministers.

Lesson of the Election

The Dalles Times MOuntaineer.
w HE PEOPLE of Oregon won great victory
in the election Monday by the election Of
9 George f. Chamberlain governor. Returns
from all parts of the state indicate that the
normal Republican majority in Oregon is close to
10000 and when the returns all in it is quite
tain that it will be shown all the Republican nominees
except governor will have been elected by that major
ity, yet their nominee for governor is defeated by
1000 There is indeed for this 1t took not
less than $500 Republican votes for Mr. Chamberlain
to this result This change cannot be accounted
for in the extreme popularity of Mr. Chamberlain, al
though it is conceded he is very popular man. hence
some of it must be attributed to another cause We
believe that is that the people thought Mr. Fur
nish secured his nomination by unfair and they
sought to administer rebuke to him and the methods
he adopted They desired to tell the world that NJ
man could buy a nomination and secure their suffer
age. They desired to emphasize the fact that there
must be certain degree of honesty in the politics OF
this state They have read lesson that will long be
remembered

Lessons of the Campaign
Portland Journal

~ HERE ARE admOnitions to both parties in
this election. The first is to the Republi-
~ can party The defeat of Mr.. Furnish is
less Il rebuke to him personally than it is
to the bosses who mscOnceived the power of ring poll
ties This state is nominally strong Republican, and
il is no slight cause that could convert Republican
majority of $4,000 into minority on the head of the
ticket
Mr.. Furnish was not sacrificed to any spirit of re-
venge. The majority of the people cannot be moved
to such volcanic action by such ignOble sentiments
The nomination of Mr. Furnish not the result OF
any spontaneous regard for him. 1t was forced on the
party by the strong hand Otherwise, not even his
own exceptional weakness the exceptional strength
of his opponent would have suficed To beat him. The
ring, and no else is responsible for Democratic
governor
The other lesson is to the Democratic party. The
leaders of the Republican party are not approved by
its members The incorporate Language of the Dem
ocras minority i'm congress, respecting the conduct of
the army in the Philippines, is resented by the people
That present conduct is near dyerting the attention
of the country from the real questions which Republi
can leadership invites. But in this election Mr. Cham
berlan has set an example in his tempered and rea-
s0nabe exposition of the whole Philippine subject
that even the national leaders may deign To notice.
Indeed, if the Democrats are wise, George Chamber
lans election will have written that plank in the ma
tonal Democratic platform. Justice to the Philip
pines does not imply any reflection ON the American
arms, and the Republicans and Democrats of Oregon
have only endorsed that "sweet reasonableness'
which holds the solution of difficult problem,

Comment on the Contest
Cast OregOnian.

Cast OregOnian.
~ HE attitude of the Republican press toward
the men and issues in the campaign weak
\h ened instead of strengthened the Republic
can cause. Particularly did the Portland
Oregonian embtter and drive away support from the
head of the Republican ticket by the transparently
false reports it published of the political news It's
exaggerated reports did more to incense the Demo
Gratis and disgust the Republicans than any other
cause in the campaign. The OregOnian never seemed
to realize its ridiculous attitude until few days be-
fore the election. Then again its "know it all" spirit
increased the indignation against it, coupled with the
fact that it had not been identified with the candidate
nor he with the party for any great length of time
which did much to the seed of discomfort in fruit
ful soil and the Democrats reaped the harvest.
Democrats are not in position to crow any more
than large number of Republicans who just now are
as silent they have been throughout the contest just
closed.

In conversation the other day a prominent

$40, 600, OOO, would bring the lawyers about
81, 900, 900 as fees. The doctor asked the

Mr.. f., suppose Mr.. Plant were dying,
but, there being a chance of saving his life
by "A difficult operation, a surgeon should
operate and save Mr.. Plants life, would
that surgeon be justified in sending in a bill
for 500, 00O?'
The immediate answer was: Certainly
not"
"Well,' asked DR.. M, how is it that the
lawyers can charge such large fees ,"
Because" replied the advocate, " a law
yer's fees are fixed by the courts"

A story that is now going the rounds,
says the OnlookeT, is laid to the door of a
piquant and dainty little French woman
who was more or less in evidence at such
places as were visited by the Rochambeau
embassy. The humOr of the situation lies
in the extreme difidence of the French
woman. She is sensitive to the point of a
double nervousness, and realizing the La
bility to Ell in a foreign tongue she was
generally careful to make selection OF each
individual word. Wherefore she was but
the more amusing when one evening feeling
moved to demonstrate with a gentleman

Mickey, while not a prohibitionist, is a

that, SO long as liquor Is manufactured, its
