AN ARTISTIC PERFORMANCE.
Excellent Program Given by the
Orpheus Company.

One of the finest musical and literary
programs ever given in Walla Walia
was produced at the high school audi
forum last night by the Orpheus COM
pany. Owing to the fact that the EN-
tertainment had not been extensively
advertised the audience was not as
large as the performance merited.
Those present, however, were very ap-
preciative and showed their approba-
ton of the excellence of the program
by frequent applause. Every number
on the program was a gem and each
members of the company gave a fin
ished performance. The reading by
Miss Walden was one of the leading
features of the entertainment and her
renditons We're given in a truly arrrs-
tic manner.

WHERE THEY GOT IT.

Ida Tarbell continues her artlcles OH
the Standard Oil Monopoly in the June
McClure's. She shows in detail where
John D. Rockefeller acquired his MIL
lions and how he ruined the fortunes
of hundreds of independent operators
in order to build up gigantic mon
opolv. Thomas W. Lawton has begun
in EverybOdy's Magazine a similar
story. which is of great Importance be-
cause LaWtOn was until recently
member of the Standard Oil combine
and shared in it's immense profits. Re
Gently he has had a falling out with
Rockefeller and now he promises that
if he can bring it about honest men
will get their dues. Another series OF
articles on much the same line is run
ming in Pearson'S magazine, written by
Henry George, jr., who shows how
various trusts have been built up by
Wrecking independent concerns and
bilking confiding investors after the
manner of Whitaker Wright in Eng
land. The difference is that while in
England such promoters are tried and
convicted as frauds, in this country
they are praised and honored as cap
tains of industry.'

DOES 1T PAY?

Always the debate goes on as to
whether a college education is worth
while, and always the number of those
seeking and attaining it increases. The
can be settled by the experience of
others. Ebert Hubbard says that the
chief result of a course in callege
is the discovery of its uselessness. With
all due respect to Fra Elbertus (and
the burden is not insupportable) we
must say that there are many who are
make this discovery. We all know
the college man who declares that he
wasted four years on the campus, but
we also know numerous college men
who are glad all the days of their
lives that fate was kind enough to
give them four years at college. 1t
is noticeable, too, that the man who
declares his time at college was
wasted generally sees to it that his son
receives an opportunity to commit a
similar waste.
Persons who oppose a college edu-
cation are very apt to be of the ranks
of those who hold that men are alto
gether born and not made for their
life work. They think that the best
preparation for life is life. If boy is
to be lawyer, put him into lawyers
office as an office boy as soon as he
has discarded his Russian blouse If he
is to be an engineer turn him loose in
a workshop at a tender age and let
him pick up his trade. These good
people consider that there is nothing
in life but daily occupation and sue
cess in it. But with their narrow
view it is as with the old, old story of
the pleasure seeker who finds it not,

At the Park.

At La Vern's Park theater last night
was produced by the Laurence Stock
company. 1t was the first production
of "A Man From California" in this
city, and it is a play that is we'll worth
repeating. The whole company work.
ed hard and secured a great hit. 1t is
a sterling play with scenes of pathos
shown that the next moment are turn
ed to laughter and joy. 1t is a hard
play to stage on account of the many
duced. Del Laurence, who played the
double as Carol Graves and Jim
BludsOn, shone in his part. William
Richadrs, as Leslie Blackburn, man
of the world, won what should be ex-
pected, the hearty disapprOvaI of the
entire audience. Leon Enrol, who took
the part Of Tom Fergus, the detective,
did well. A. C. Winn as Solomon, the
Hebrew sport, was clever in his work.
Lester howard was prominent III the
role of O'Gall, the lawyer William
Gross played Ike Gudgeon, the gamb
ling house owner, with much skill.
Katy Meran of the Gaiety theater was
acted to good advantage by Miss Mad
cline Laurence. Good work was done
by Leorta Orion as Leslies sister. Elk
ceptionally good was Miss Ruby Lind
say as a double, Sadie, the flower girl
and Ella Gilmore the actress. This
excellent play will be repeated tonight
and tomorrow night and a new bill
will be presented. All persons desir-
ing to see a good play should not fail
to see The Man From California;

while the one that seeks not finds. The
boy who is sent to college is sent
there not only to prepare for his lie
work, but to prepare for manhood and
citizenship. In that general prepare
ton it often happens that he fits him
self better in the end for his chosen
occupation than the one who has en-
tered it at a tender age and without
general culture or education.
This is a practical age and the
Americans are a practical people. 1t
is not conceivable that the sensible
sons of sensible fathers and mothers
would continue year after year to pass
through our universities and colleges
if the experience of the world had not
been that a general education is use
full. What a waste of funds and hu-
man energy if they are wrong. The
endowments Of our universities reach
into the hundreds of millions and vast
sums are yearly spent on their main
tenance And, in our new country,
most of this money is given or voted
by men who have not had the advan-
tages of a college education for them
selves and have always regretted it,
even though by native ability they
have in many cases risen head and
SbouldarS above tba college mon
around them.

With Mark Hanna and Matt Quay
over the river and Boss Platt in his
dotage the republican party this year
will lack the astute leadership that it
has had for many years, Cortelyou
will be only a figurehead for Roose-

The people of Walla Walla generally
will approve the decision of the Com
mercial Club to go ahead with prepar-
ations for the celebration of the Fourth
of July. The amount already sub
scribed for the celebration is greater
than was ever expended for such a
purpose here before and with $500 ad-
ditional that it is proposed to raise
within the next few days, Walla Walla
should be able to cover herself with
glory in manifesting her devotion to
the principles of the immortal declara-
ton and her love for the old flag.

Albert f. Mead, the candidate of
BOSS Farrell for governor of this state
says that he does not believe that a
governor should urge the passage of
laws or veto any bills passed by the
legislature. AS the constitution of the
state gives these powers to the gov
ernor, it would be only a putty man
without a backbone who would fail to
make use of them when he deemed it
necessary in the interests of prudent,
honest and economical government.
Mead is evidently just the kind of man
the railroad lobby wants for governor.
but he is not the kind the people are
looking for.

Oregon went republican by a large

will go the same way on the national
ticket, but it will initiate Oregons eX-
ample in electing a democratic gov

republican governor since 1892 and
then only by scratch. This year
George Turner will win in a walk
over Boss Farrelrs man Mead.

PEACE IN INDUSTRIAL WORLD.

The recent past has witnessed the
arrival at three important agreements
between labor and capital which
should have an important bearing
upon the future relations of these
forces in society. The three agree
ments referred to We're those effected
and the organized miners in four
states; an agreement between the
Amalgamated Association of Tin and
Iron Workers and their employers,
and between the Longshoremen's union
and the Dock Managers association
of the great lakes.
The National Civic Federation re-
CARDS the first as the most important
agreement reached between labor and
capital in this country for many
years, and gives it this place because
of the difficulties overcome by the
remembered that in March the repre-
sentatives of the miners assembled at
Indianapolis under the presidency of
John Mitchell to consider the PROPOSE
ton for a reduction of wages coming
from the operators. This proposition
was rejected by the Indianapolis con-
ference, but with the understanding
and the proviso that it should be sub
mitted to vote of the miners or
CARNATIONS in the different states.
Meanwhile the whole question had
been thoroughly discussed by the rep

that it is only the beginning OF ne"
era of development in Walla Walia ano
that within a few years there will bt

1t is probably just as well that Albert
+. Mead declined the invitation to de-
liver an address at an a. O. u. w. pic

good taste for the meeting of fra

Mead were governor it would be diff
ferent. but from present indications he
will never attain that honor.

BUSINESS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON is LIGHT

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. July AT the ses-
sion of the convention that began at 2:4S
most of the time was consumed in wait
ing for the)results of conferences on vice
presidential candidates.
A resolution expressing regret and SYM
pathy at the death of Delegate Jacob E.
,Birder, of North Dakota, in the train
wreck at Litchfield, July 3, was offered
by the North Dakota delegation and
agreed to. ~
Mr. Russell of Alabama, remarked
that owing to the sad news conveyed in
the resolution and to allow the members
of the North Dakota delegation time to
confer, he moved that a recess be taken
until $40 o'clock. Cries of mo; no!''
were heard from all sides, but Chairman
Clark put the motion when protest was
made that there had been no second to it,
rs the motion secunded?" asked MIR.
Clark, and amid another general cry of
mo. mol" and vigorous protest from
all over the hall, he put the question.
The vote was Overwhelmingly against the
recess, but Mr. Clark declared With
snap and thump of his gayel that 1t was
carried, and at 1920 the convention was
declared in recess for two hours. Z,

THERE WAS A GENERAL OBJ
sERVANCE OF THE FEAST
OF FEASTS IN THIS CITY.
SOME FINE MUSIC
Large Congregations at Most of the
Churches Elaborate Prep
arations.

Nearly all the churches in the city
celebrated the great Easter festival
in an appropriate manner. The houses
of worship were all decorated for the
joyous festival and it was a day of
great rejoicing throughout the city.
Special musical programs were rend-
cred in most of the churches, notably
st. Paul's Episcopal, st. Mary's and
st. Andrews, Catholic, First and
Grace M. E., First, Second and Unit
ed Presbyterian, Christian and all the
Lutheran churches.
The congregations were large and
the discourses were appropriate to the
occasion. There was SO much fine
music that the Palladium cannot
single out each separate choir and
give it the mead of praise it de-
served this would be great task
suffice it to say that all was done
creditably and well.

EASTER DAY
The Winters Waning Chilliness Was
in Evidence All Day.

Easter morn was ushered in with a
chilliness that indicated the reluc-
tance of winter to let loose the grasp
she held so firmly for the past six
months. At times the sun shone
brightly, then, again, clouds would OBJ
scure Old Sol's rays, and, IN the early
morning, it looked as If snow might
fall at any time.
As Easter is an occasion for per-
sons to appear in new toggery, there
is a tendency to carry out this Gus
tom, despite weather conditions. Here
and there ladies could be seen attired
in the ightest and airiest material,
without a wrap, while others, again,
wore their new "duds' with winter
wraps Spring hats were in evidence
everywhere.
The sale of flowers for the great
day was beyond the expectation, and,
in fact, the capacity of the florists.
Lilies were popular, while the hya-
cinths, rose, daffodil, rhododendron,
carnation and violet were pretty gem
orally worn.

ONE OF WAYNE COUNTYS
PROSPEROUS FARMERS
TAKES HIS LIFE
EARLY THIS MORNING
Dependency Attributed az the Cause
Leaves a Wife Coroner's
Verdict.

William Morgan, aged forty-six
years, living about two and one-half
miles southwest of Centerville, COM
mitted suicide about 5 O'Clock this
morning by shooting himself through
the head. II
While Mrs. Morgan was making
preparations for breakfast she heard
the report of shot gun and rushed
into the kitchen only to find her hus-
band lying on the floor in a pool of
his own blood. She was greatly
alarmed, and on examination. found
the uppor portion of his head shot
away and his brains scattered In all
directions. From appearances the
shooting was done in this way. He
rested the stock Of the gun on the
floor and placed the muzzle against
his forehead and pulled the trigger
with his toe. In this way the gun
was discharged, and the entire load
was driven into his head.
On the table was found the follow
ing note to his wife:
Lou, am going to shoot myself,
so goodbye
1t was plain case of suicide. as
he had on divers occasions expressed
desire to take poison and end his
life.
Mr.. Morgan owned about sixty
acres of good unincumbered land
south of Centerville. and no one
thought for a moment that he would
Kill himself. Lately he has been very
despondent, complaining of the bad
weather and the delay Of crops.
Mr.. Morgan leaves a wife but no
children. He was one of the most ac-
commodating fellows on earth, good
husband and an excellent neighbor.

moral revolution is art. This is pre-

In this are embodied the Renaissance

The progress and moral evolution
of the world demands sacrifice In the
part of individuals. This sacrifice
must be made. the ideas of progress

Dennis said he preferred to join the
procession.
