Is Amono the Best.

The linn Travesty company opened
a three nights engagement at the
Keylor Grand last night to the larg-
est house of the season. Why We have
not more of the style of entertain
ment is probably not the fault of
Manager Catron but the way the
large audience laughed at every
thing it seemed as if the class of en-
tertainment was what they wanted,
instead of the powdered wig operas.
1t is hard to tell who is the lead
ing artist as each one works with
such vim that-it would not be right
to pick any particular one. Mr.. ]. w.
Clifford the comedian, is so funny
that last night he had not only the
vast audience with him but had the
company laughing at him as well.

WAS A MISTAKE.

The prompt action of the board OF
health in meeting yesterday, follow
ing the publicity given the tenderloin
examinations, is not only commend
able. but indicates a desire upon the
part of the members to remedy those
evils arising from what must now be
accepted as a mistake. The States
man joins in congratulating the board
members on the resembling Of an or
der which. no doubt, was innocent on
it's face, and was as innocently made
and acted upon.
The Statesman. is bound to believe
that the order was issued under a
misapprehension. 1t believes, too, the
statement of Health Officer Braden
that he had not considered the graft
feature of the order. Full credit must
be given his assertion that, before
the order and its effect had been
made public, he had protested
against carrying it further.
DR.. Braden's reputation has been
such in the past as to warrant strong
belief in the truth of his declaration
that due consideration was not given
to the consequences.
The order has been rescinded.
Those who so hastily issued it have
frankly admitted their mistake and,
in manly terms, have taken possibly
undeserved blame for the miscon-
struction placed upon the order.
1t was an unfortunate action, but
one which, seen in it's true light, can
not reflect the discredit attached to a
wilful application Of authority. 1t is
an incident closed, with the hope that
the boards explanation of a mistake
made hastily may be accepted by all
as it is by The Statesman.

is one of the most perplexing problems
which producers of musical comedies
and spectacles have to face in putting
on their production to best advantage
and are often forced to unusual meth
DDS an expense to recruit their COM
panies in this respect. To secure a
large number of girls who are good
to look upon and are vocalists and ca
pable of being taught to dance, and
sing, and whose requirements are,
equal height and weight with the nee
cessary physique, the difficulty is al
most unsurmountable.

Brand Unknown.

Last spring the city dads held back
81 900 on the price Of the reservoir
because it was not guaranteed and
was not up to specifications. Had the
reservoir turned out to be solid and
properly constructed that sum would
have been paid over.
One Of the city officials, who was
insistant upon the retention
of the money, was accused of being
addicted at irregular intervals to the
indescriminate internal assimilation of
alcoholic products as a reason for his
actions in this matter.
Now that the reservoir has to be
reconstructed, inquiries are being
made for the particular brand of liquor
the aforesaid citizen consumes. 1t
might be good to have some on hand
when contracts are being considered.

HEARST THE INDIVIDUAL

Frankly, we are disposed to think
that we could have made out better
case than Mr.. Brisbane has achieved
for his friend Certain ambitions are
common to the great majority of men.
One likes to be well regarded by his
fellows, and to reap the benefits of So
cial recognition by his equals and SUI
periors. The spirit Of caste is still
strong in the breasts Of inheritors Of
good names and great riches. That
Mr.. Hearst should have deliberately
set aside these advantages, we consider
to have been of itself distinctly credi-
table. That he should have hazarded
his large fortune upon an attempt to
develop his aims is sufficient evidence
of his daring, if not, indeed, of his
moral courage. That he should now
glory in the fact that his associations
are practically confined to those who
are in a large measure dependent up
on him, indicates an innate power of
peculiar intensity. That he should
have driven his adventurous enter
prises to a consummation successful
from the iew-points of both CONNER
cialism and desired notoriety speaks
we'll for his indefatigability. That,
without protest, he should have per-
mitted the public to infer that his
achievements rest chiefly upon the
mental activities of his associates in
dicates his breadth and freedom from
the curse of jealousy. That he should
never have forfeited the loyalty Of
single one of his capable associates
evinces a praisworthy kindness of
disposition. That he should have held,
throughout his adventures, the essen
tial and answering support of a
proud, high minded, and conservative
mother is a fact of which any man
might we'll be proud. Herein we have
touched upon evidences of the possess
sion by Mr.. Hearst, the individual, Of
admirable qualities which make
pleasant impress upon a fair mind

Ex-Pitcher George Hodson has been

Guess Ed Phelps never thought that
he was much of a player until Presi-

Not one Of the Pittsburg Pirates has
been benched so far this season in
spite of their fierce aspect on the dia-
mond.
1t is not the high salaried players
that always play the best ball. Often
the reverse is the case in the major
leagues.
Kid Gleason of Philadelphia has been
released a dozen times in print, but ht
is still on the job. Kid is the Patti OF

Both Jake Stahl and Jimmie Collins
must get better results or soon be
classed with the average managers.
Collins looked good while he was play
ing good ball, but as bench manager
alone he has not filed the bill.

THE DEVIL IN THE AUTO.

The idea that the chauffeur is re-
sponsible for the many accidents
caused by automobiles is controverted
by the evidence from Denver, where
the most destructive automobile is
owned and operated by minister. 1t
was presented to him by his congre-
CATION to aid him in his spiritual work,
but the devil seems to have gotten into
the machine or perhaps he was Turk
ing under the seat when it was pur-
chased 1t has run away with the
minister and gaily chug- chugged over
some of his most respected and best
paying parishioners. Recently when
he was on his way to, the police sta
ton to get some statistics on criminol-
ogy it broke loose and scattered a
scare through a block where crime had
never been known. It has been known
to start off by itself and sneak up on
children playing in the street. It once
ran down an apple-woman, who was
on her way to the preachers study
to ask advice about a contribution to
missions. On another occasion it at
tackled and put to fight the Salvation
Army holding a prayer meeting on
the street. 1t shows such evidence of
being possessed by a spirit, though it
is a gasoline machine, that there is
talk of calling meeting to exercise
it,
All of this goes to show that there
are things about the auto we do not
know yet notwithstanding the much
that is said about it. 1t is evident that
owners take their autos too much on
trust. The dealers admit this. There
is no inquiry as to their antecedents,
such as there would be were one buy
ing a horse. The auto fiend is salts
fed when he is told that the horse
power of his machine is about three
times what he knows it to be. He
doesn't enquire whether it was built
with tainted money; whether the par
ents behind it were Obtained by fraud;
whether the engine cama from an open
or closed shop. None IT the things
which may bear upon tn moral atti-
tude of that auto scenario cut any
figure.

A play that holds the mirror I'D to
nature in a most convincing manner
and causes an audience to pause and
reflect, will be found in Manager Ed
ward r. Salter's "A Mad Love" which
is to be presented at the Keylor Grand
theater, two nights, Wednesday and
Thursday, Oct. 3 and 4.
Theater patrons throughout the
world have at some time or other wit
messed performance of that magni-
ficent heart throb play. Lady Aud
ley's Secret" which was in the class
of popularity equal with East Lynn"
Camille" etc. 1t is from Lady Aud
ley's Secret" Miss Nj. E. Braddon's
famous success, the suggestion was
conceived by Mr.. Edward Locke for
"A Mad Love- In fact so closely has
he stuck to the original play that his
work can be more aptly termed a mod
ern version. So clever and thorough
ly artistic play was Lady Audley's
Secret" that there was little chance
for improvement. Mr.. Locke, however,
has clearly succeeded in eliminating
what few uninteresting points the or
iginal play possessed, and has added
many striking situations, several new
characters and an abundance of gen.
uine comedy. The company presenting
this masterpiece is claimed to be one
of the strongest now touring in play
of this kind, and the cast is headed
by that brilliant emotional actress.
Miss Marietta Smart, whose recent
starring tour in a notable revival of
East Lynne caused vast surprise. so
great was her success. In "A Mad
Love- Miss Smart plays the part of a
deserted wife, and is most happily
cast. The play is in three acts, and a
prologue, full Of humanity as it really
is experienced, in fact it is a sermnA
of truth itself. 1t is play particularly
interesting to women of all ages. and
while it is an emotional work. to an
extent, it is nevertheless a play that
appeals to all mankind.

repeatedly encored especially the
Banana song in the first act.
Miss Jessie Brown the solo dancer
is an artist. The feature of the linn
company is his chorus of dancing
girls. They certainly deserve the title
as they are the best that have ever
played Walla Walla. They are with
out doubt the prettiest bunch of girls
that have been at the Keylor Grand
in a long time and it will probably be-a
long time before they are equaled.
This is the class of entertainment
we have been waiting for and if Messrrs.

George AIDE Winner in Raising Oats.
World

George AIDE, humorist and play
wright, is now a prize farmer. OF all
the Newton County farms, AIDES has
done the best on oats. At the time of
sowing AIDE claimed to know little
about any crop except oats, and so an
oat-growing contest was started.
When harvest time came and field
after field made splendid yields, around
60 bushels to the acre, AIDES farmer
friends were jubilant. AIDES crop was
the last to be threshed, and from the
SO acres in oats there was a tr1fie
more than $500 bushels of fine grain
obtained. a little more than 20 bushels
to the acre. 1t was the largest yield
to the acre in Newton County, and
one of the best in the state.
