quality of truth, says the Dundee Ad.

ADJUSTMENTS
MOST POWERFUL OF DRAMAS

full religious and historical drama,
"The Sign Of the Cross" will be pre-
sented at the Keylor Grand next Sat-
urday night, with uncommon dramatic
strength, thrilling realism and costly
magnificence in scenery, dresses, armor
and accessories under the direction OF
Mr.. r. G. Craerin. 1.-The Sign of The
Cross has been a most magnetic at
traction for the followers of the Chris
tian religion of all sects and denomi-
nations as well as for the regular de-
voices of the drama. The reverent
and yet forceful manner in which the
subject of Christianity is treated in
the heart rending yet cruel days of
that tyrant Emperor Nero in Rome
where the wanton luxury and excess
ses Of the pagans presaged Rome's
downfall have endeared this play pc
culiarly to bishops, priests and clergy

has had Enthusiastically powerful infiu-

has never been the slightest sign Of

EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.


Although the county campaign mas
been well in progress for two weeks,
with the candidates in the field and
the spellbinders fairly scorching the
wooden shutters off the country
school houses, there is as little commo-
ton on the surface as if it were some
one running for the office of Sunday
school superintendent in a country
parish.
There is none Of that hurrah, that
screening of party and individual
merits, that blaring of trumpets and
exploding Of bombs, which generally
characterizes a campaign.
The lack Of united effort, of party
exertion, is significant. 1t indicates a
condition which is coming more and
more to exist in every locality-the
condition of Independent voting.
Here in Walla Walla county there is
another reason for the almost COM
plete party indifference and the lack
of organized effort. 1t lis the true
cause of every candidate, except those
on the republican legislative ticket
hustling for themselves regardless Of
party organization, or party claims.
This cause may be found in the
h1,f
their ring candidates on a ticket which
the loyal Ankeny men of both parties
looked upon as their own-a ticket
they had wrested from what seemed
certain defeat and abuse.
This action has destroyed interest in
the ticket put up by the republicans
and has sent the real strength of the
party back to their own individual
pursuits, disguised with the small re-
suits of their brave primary fight.
These loyal ones know it is an i'm
possibility to defeat the republican
legislative ticket. They jknow, too
that a direct, united party fight for
the ticket might result in putting into
office the men whom they defeated at
the primaries-not as opposing repub-
licans-but as ring politicians and
gangsters.
1t is this which has resulted in the
haphazard individual contests for the
offices. 1t means also there will be lit
tie actual effort to draw the party
lines and there will be more of that
scratching and knitting of undesirable
candidates than has been done in
years.
There are no real issues in this cam
paign. The Ankeny legislative ticket
is safe. The republican candidates
who are desirable, are strong enough
individually to bring about their own
election.
The greatest effort 20 be made will
be in bringing about the defeat of
those Objectionable candidates wearing
the brands of the "Bunc"-Kees ring of
firedout politicians.

The torture Of the Christian boy Ste
phanus, the miraculous saving Of the
chaste and beautiful Christian maiden
Marcia by the intervention of Heaven,
the dauntless courage that enabled the
lowly Christians to meet unflinchingly
and with glorious heroism the hun
cry beasts in the Roman arena, the
winning of the pagan Project Marcus
Superbus to the Christian faith Of his
adored Marcia, and the final test Of
mis- faith when hand in hand he goes
to his death in the Roman Amphi-
theater are among the many thrilling
and marvellous climaxes in this Won
derful drama. Not to see 1.-THE Sign
of the Cross is to miss one of the
greatest productions Of the age. No
play of such convincing dramatic
strength has been written. 1t requires
a powerful company to do justice to
it's eloquent language and its stirring
incidents and climaxes. Mr.. r. G..
Craerin has been fortunate enough In
securing several Of the leading men,
bers of William Greets famous Lon
don company that triumphed with "The
Sign of the Cross" for five seasons in
this country, and many American &C
tors of note will also be found in the
company.
In the matter Of scenic and costume
display the production will present
some Of the most magnificent pictures
known to the dramatic stage. 1.-THE
Sign of the Cross" is essentially a
spectacular production and Mr.. Craerin
in securing the rights for this play
from Mr.. William Greet of the London
Lyric theater purchased also all the
costly and ornate scenery and appoint
ments Of the original London produc-
ton. The scenery will have the bril-
liancy of newness having been repaint-
ed this season by the master brush of
a famous stage artist.

"BABETTE" AT KEYLOR GRAND.

Ever since the Harry B. Smith Vic
tor Herbert light opera "Babette' was
first produced at the Broadway thea
ter, New York city, it has been a great
favorite with theater goers, especially
the music loving portion. The brilliant
lyrics of Harry B. Smith and the de-
lightful music of Victor Herbert, has
made Babette stand out as one of the
comic opera gems Of recent years.

by the Stewart opera company the
first two nights of their engagement

Surely Secretary Shaw is not going
to have the nerve to say that all we
nave to do is to place political party
in power? asks the Minneapolis Jour-
nal. Are we to accept its nomina-
tons without question and pass on to
the party the responsibility of get

Pennsylvania has tried that with in
different or bad results. It got Quay
and Penrose by supporting a party
rather than an individual.
Mr.. Shaw evidently overlooks the
fact that the essential thing in party
is the men in it and the men leading
it. The party is merely an association
Of men. Men are the active agents Of
parties. The mental makeup of the
men who represent a party becomes
of first Importance. Mr.. Shaw is
away behind the times in trying to
shunt to the background the critical
examination of the makeup of the men
who offer themselves as applicants for
public Office.
