SHE IS COMICAL,

You don't need gas to take 'The

tomfoolery" in two acts, and by any
other name 'twould be as meet Show

DALEY kind best. Who can forget 1t
or the rest of those deliciously comic
Weberfieldians? You remember the
Daley show girl, the 800 pounds of
him bagged. in pale lavender, the
lovely, ridiculous white boa circling
his mountainous jowl, the hippy show
girl sidle of him, the stupendous
wink? You remember? Well, Hilda
Thomas is not that kind of show girl.
But perhaps Hilda is not the one in
tended in the title. She is, however,
the nearest that careful search re-
veals But that Hilda is as funny in
her way as Mr.. Daley in his Is what
1 set out to say.
Miss Thomas way Of being funny is
not the usual way. She begins with
a voice like a catarrhal steam whis-
tle She is frankly, enthusiastically,
robustly vulgar, digging the audience
in the ribs with Bowery witticisms
until it crows. She swops Cheek"
with the conductor like a true Idly,
initiates a Bowery "artiste" with a
very glory of toughness, and dances,
zips through the piece in a generally
irresistible fashion. She doesn't
want to be a Idly she sings. and
doesn't beautifully. but Miss Thomas
can't help being riproariously funny
comedian. Her material? Pretty
much anything that Miss Thomas
pleases apparently. Her part is that
of the ingenue of the Sopholes Dra-
matte Company, whose wanderings
form the staple of the piece. But see
her for fun.
Perhaps Thomas j. Shea, who
dances like a rubber doll. makes the
next largest dent. But Sam ]. Mylie
as the manager of the Sophocles
Company, H. d. Mustard as Abdallah
and Charles E. Parcor as the kittiest
of cats all contribute joyfully. There
is male quartet that sings some,
plenty of pretty girls and one near
singer in Bert Wainwright. Psyche"
and Tip, Tip, Tippecanoe" are among
the songs that count to the whistler.

PERMANENT SUCCESS

Grants Pass few days ago to visit

while the smelter was under full

that the reports received had been Of
the most satisfactory nature. The
smelter Is doing excellent work. and
the necessary fluxes are being obtain
ed with comparative ease. Ore Is
being furnished in sufficient quantity

The mere fact that such eminent re-

assurance that no other event could

"The Standard" believes that II In
small ler towns and cities campaign
could be waged in behalf Of prohibi-
tion upon business basis. showing
tax payers the economy of prohibition
as against even extremely high
license, after proper agitation prohi-
bition could be secured. 1t cites the
case Of Oregon, H., small city Of
1000 inhabitants which recently raised
the license fee to $1,000 and thereby
reduced tho number Of saloons, but
put more power In the few saloons
which now exist.
In that small city, 10 saloons pay
licenses Of $1,000 each. This fact Il
suggestive not only of the large profit
that is expected by the saloon keepers
of this comparatively small commu-
nifty, but Of the large amount Of
money taken from legitimate trade
cbannels--in this particular instance
reaching the sum Of perhaps 80, 600
which might be expended In mer-
ohandise, home improvements, farm
machinery, and like necessities.
"The Portland Journal" recently
published these facts concerning
several cities In the state Of Oregon
in which prohibition has been
effective for varying periods;
Ashland, a city Of 8, 500 population,
has tested both the dry and wet
policy. A merchant testified that,
since the saloons were voted out, he
had more desirable class Of Gus
tom ers. and a barber said that his
business was 331S per cent better than
when there were saloons In town.

fence Of 10 years in general me erchan

ougbly convinced that the saloon is

whatever to any legitimate business,
but on the contrary is a positive
detriment to business interests from
every point Of view, socially, morally
aud financially, and the greatest
mensnce TO trade interests with which
the business world has TO contend. ="
Milton is one Of the most prosperous
towns In Oregon. The Bank Of Mil
ton has a capital stock Of $780, Its
cashier gives the following testi-
monial: MILTON has not had a
saloon for iS or 20 years and during
that time the population has increas-
ed 800 per cent. Business is good In
all lines Of trade, good public schools
with 10 teachers. college and four
churches. The treasurer's report at
the close OF last year showed the total
indebtedness Of the city to be $40,
