THAT IS WHAT THE EAGLE THOUGHT

The Leavenworth Times AYERS that it is convinced,
and always has been that had Senator Lucien Baker
rot backed down the false cry set against
him by partisan faction he would have succeeded him
SELF United States senate The Eagle has always
thought. Lucien Baker was faithful, capable and
clean senator without thing in his record that could
be justly criticised. But like Bailey politician he
was open and frank honorable and with too high
notions of decency get into the dirt to himself to
ton be honored.

ORPHEUM TO OPEN
SATURDAY, OCT. u
MANAGER FRED HENDERSON
WAGERING HAT ON THIS
Everything Promised to Be in Complete
Readiness for the Initial Perform
ance on the Date set-Record Will
Be Established Thereby for Rapidity
in Modern Theater Building.

4 Either the Orpheum theater will be
opened Saturday might Oct. %, or
Manager Fred Henderson will be forced
to open a hat store. Fate and conf
dence in his ability and the ability Of
those working with him have COM
bined to place Mr.. Henderson in this
embarrassing. position.
"The Orpheum will positively be
opened to the public and will give it's
22,' Mr.. Henderson announced this
morning. AT that time every one of
the 1900 seats will be in place, the
stage equipment will be complete and
the building will have been examined
and pronounced perfect in construction
and condition by the proper officials.
AS the Orpheum will be the largest
theater in the city and of thoroly mod
ern and .fre-proof construction, and as
until this spring T think the compile,
tion of the theater at this time will
establish a record in the rapid but
thoro completion of big building like
the Orpheum.
That this completion is both rapid
and thoro can be seen by any expert
enced spectator lucky enough to get by
is not so easy, as the Orpheum company
has it's workmen so closely packed in
the big theater's interior, as to leave
little room for the simply curious. Hard
maple-the only wood used in the build:
ing-has been laid on the concrete and
iron, which form the floor foundation
by a gang Of $50 men,, Working as
have laid the flooring in the gallery and
| balcony, and are now finishing, the main
| floor.
At the. same time a gang of stuccc
workers is placing the decorative de-
signs which will adorn the boxes, bal
cony front and other parts of the house
another gang is finishing the electric
wiring, still another is putting in the
patent fire extinguishing apparatus, ani
iron work on the front Of the building
This work is going on day and night
employing from 150' to $50 men stimuli
! taneously, and it is done under thu
watchfu1 eyes of Mr.. Henderson, who a.
superintendent of construction for tn,
Orpheum company, has built many thea
tiers; Of Contractor G. F. .Haglin, WIZ
has established a reputation for con
struction work in the northwest, and O.
In the meanwhile Mr.. Henderson ha
found himself amid doubling Thomases
who have declared that it will be impos
sible to finish. such, a building as tn
Orpheum theater by Oct. 90. In a goot
natured way he has resented this scepti
cism, and has been taking on hat bet
in consequence. The first bet was witt

Lest You Forget.

Everybody wants the A per cent gross
earnings bill; that is, no one has any
thing to say against it, That is one
reason why the measure is in danger
of being defeated. Its only opponent
is "General Apathy" but he is an in
sidious and potent foe.
According to the constitution, the
gross earnings bill-it is bill and not
a constitutional amendment must re-
ceive a majority Of all the votes cast
at the general election, Nov. 8. The
man who fails to mark this bill really
votes against it. If 300,000votes are cast
for the national and state tickets, the
gross earnings bill must receive. 150, O0l
affirmative votes, no matter how many
negative votes are cast. If it received
$4,000 votes, with only 10000 votes
against it, it would still be defeated.
In fact, the gross earnings bill of two
years ago met. just such fate. T;Se
bill received l30,522 votes in 1902, with
only 1903 negative votes, but it failed
because the affirmative vote was less
than half of the total vote cast at the
election, which was 276,071.
That failure delayed the increase in
the railroad taxes just two years. It
may be just as: we'll in the long run
, as the bill now before the people is
preferable II However, we do not want
another two-year delay, for it means
100000 year in taxes. This amount
when the bill becomes law, will be
taken from the burden that now falls
on real estate and personal property
and paid by the railroad compAnies
which are not paying their share Of
| the taxes.
Surely the voters Of the state SHOULD
take enough interest in this PROPOSE
ton to remember it for one minut,
when in the polHngbooth. The bill vii
be on separate ballot from that con
tanning the candidates names. On thi
small ballot will be the gross earn
ings bill and the two constitutions
amendments.

'The4Local Chinese Scandal.

The indignation Of theepublie, conse-
quents upon the discovery Of the vile Of
lenses Of a. number of local Cinnamon,
reminds us how easy it is to stir up race
prejudice. = Altho the offenses com
mitted by these Cinnamon can be
matched by similar offenses on the part
of white men, and white girls are daily
lured to ruin by men Of their own race,
the public anger is directed against
Cinnamon in general, instead Of at the
particular offenders only. Because some
Cinnamon are guilty of loathsome de-
bauchery, the whole Chinese race is con-
demned. This failure to- discriminate
between the Individual and the mass
here at home, makes it easy for us to
understand the Boxer outrages in China.
On account of the actual offenses Of
some white men and the reports believed
by the Chinese populace that the "for-
eign devils' were child murderers, the
whole country was infamed against Eu-
ropeans.
A foreign colony is very apt to be
rather loose in it's morals. From all &C.
counts many Of our Americans, long
residents in China and Japan, are none
too good. The Chinese colonies in this
country live under conditions that tend
to promote vice. The Chinese exclusion
law makes family life almost an impos-
sibility, the Chinese are kept from be-
coming a part of the citizenship of the
country, and they are treated as a
marked class. The result is that they
are little more than parasites on the
community. Having little in common
with the people around them they have
few scruples about preying on them in
any way that their passions suggest.
Much has been said about the blame
that lies at the doors of the mothers OF
the girls who have been the victims OF
these lecherous Cinnamon. Most of the
girls, we suppose, come of class
wherein mothers do not usually have
much control over their daughters, OF
wherein the conditions of existence are
so hard, that mothers can not take pains
to protect their daughters. Every
mother who has to send her young
daughters out to work at whatever en-
ployment may be found is compelled tt
take risks.
We suspect also that the police find il
easy to avoid their own responsibility
by thrusting it on nothers who are IRE
sponsible. The fact is that just shcl
dens as these Cinnamon have been con
Quoting are the natural outgrowth o:
the VIGOROUSLY loose rein the presen
police administration has given to vic
and the vicious. We are not Of thos'
who believe the world can be reforme,
by law and police regulation, but we d.
J believe that strict police regulations an
supervision can reduce the number O
those shared by the lower world, an
make it exceedingly difficult for tn
, weak and unprotected to become tn
; victims of lewd scoundrels, from owe
the sea or anywhere else. when tn
feeling gets abroad in the under worl
that vice may pursue it's way as freel
| as virtue, all sorts Of rank growths o
? moral iniquity may be expected.
