In the "1wo Roses"

Walla Walla theater-gOers were
given one of those promised treats
last night in the presentation by the
Stewart Opera company Of the opera,
1.-The Two Roses" at the Keylor Grand
theater. AS a whole there are no
disappointments in John Cort's ope-
ratio paraphrase of DR.. Goldsmith S
"She Stops to Conquer"
Mabel Day in the double part is
chic, winsome and decided fav-
orite as the star. Miss Days voice is
not so nearly perfect as was expected
In her lower register the charm Of a
beautiful voice was more apparent
than when she reached the high notes.
But with. her song of "Airy Mary" all
defects of the upper register were
forgotten in the admirable work done
No better actor and no better ten
or has ever been heard in Walla Wal
la than Carl Haydn. The departure
from the rasping falsetto tenors of the
average stage hero was so marked
that encores fairly smothered the
singer.
Stewart, himself, was not so much
in evidence in the piece as he will be
with his splendid barytone in sue
ceeding operas. One of the chief
features of the company are the ex-
ceptional bass voices.
Bessie Fairbairn is all that is
claimed for her and Bertha Shalek is
certain to prove a favorite in Walla
Walla.
On the whole the Stewart opera
company is far higher in class and
grade of voices than any which has
visited this city in years.
1.-THE Two Roses" will be repeated
tonight. Tomorrow night Dorothy
will be produced. Large houses are
assured.

Republican Allegiance Wavering.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
The election in Maine looks like a
very black eye for the republicans. In
any previous year, they, themselves,
would have so regarded it. Mr.. Lit
tlefield's narrow escape will be pointed
to all over the country as demonstr
ton Of the political power of the
American Federation of Labor. This
outcome of the Maine election must
be considered unfortunate. 1t will
alarm the republicans, and will, we
fear, lead them to ignoble concessions
to Gompers, and attempts to placate
him, instead of withstanding him in
the manly fashion of Mr. Littlefield.
In any event, republicans are not so
blind as not to see in the Maine cleo
ton returns an unpleasant indication
of republican losses throughout the
country in November

LABOR AND WAGES IN GERMANY

While we are talking about the la
Dor scarcity in our country, it is in
teresting to note that in the Industrial
districts of Germany men are at pre-
MUM. In the Rhineland and West
phaiian manufacturing towns labor
has not been so scarce for years.
Germany is a wonderful country.
Her industrial progress in the past
decade is a record of great achieve
ment She is coming into greater
prominence every year. In some re-
spects Germany is a rival and Compel
itor of the United States, but princi-
pally her rise in Importance strikes
at the Industrial supremacy of Great
Britain.
The advantages of Germany lie
largely in her people. Industrious and
! intelligent and quick to take up with
the new idea and discard the old, her
manufacturers are fully abreast OF til
times and in the lead in some particu-
lars. Her technical schools and insti-
tutions for business training have filled
the offices of her merchants and manu-
facturers with young and competent
men and made her consular service
of the best.
The contest for supremacy between
England and Germany foreshadows a
coming war, in the opinion of some OBJ
servers. England is behind in many
| ways, as her own writer's have admit
| ted. At present there is a tendency
| to spur up the country to renewed
efforts, and England is likely to show
the effects in improved method and
| increased business, but Germany is al
ready as far along in some respects as
England hopes to be in a year or so
| hence.
The United States may watch the
| contest between these two industrial
giants with interest. Germany and
England are to be our industrial ri
walls for the oriental and other new
trade in the coming period, but sharp
| est competition will be between the
two European countries, That Eng
land is tagging might he inferred from
the recent reports of the large num-
| Der of unemployed men in that coun-
mand.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-09-25

and the writer tried in vain to get
one of them. Times have changed and
we have changed with them The
things that seem all right to this gen.
Grafton will seem like larceny to the
next. The world is growing better,
and if you don't get better with it
the fault is yours"
This is pretty plain and pretty true
talk. There is not a newspaper man
in Minnesota but could duplicate the
sentiment expressed by Mr.. White
from his own experience says
the Minneapolis Journal. Drunken
ness, lasciviousness and dishonesty
were more common in public office
twenty years ago than today. Men
who were leaders then would be re-
garded as lepers now. There is a bet
ter standard of conduct. There is less
virtue, one of the public man, the
other for the private man. The senator
of great abilities whose private life Is
rotten finds now that he must give UP
his evil ways or give up his position
He cannot serve two masters, the peo-
pie and the flesh.
There has come in public life, it is
true, another dangerous character
namely the SNUG, clean, perfumed and
correct agent of the corporation whose
| nice private. character is a cloak fol
his operations against public morality
But he is being dealt with. He is un-
| masked, and it will not be long before
he is endorsed. The world is, as Mr.
White suggests, growing better, but
| the tide does not sweep on unremit-
tingly. We see eddies and back waters
| in our own vicinities that make us
think the whole sea has set the other
way; but it is not so. The world
| is growing better, and the only way
to be truly prosperous is TO grow bet
ter with it.

ADJUSTMENTS
MARIE CAHILL IN
MARRYING MARY

Evening World.
Marie Cahill appeared in Edwin Mil
ton Royle's new musical play, Marry
ing Mary" at Days Theater last
night Both Miss Cahill and the play
were enthusiastically received by
packed and perspiring house, and it
was not long before they realized the
wish expressed by the tuneful octet
in the first act, who said they would
like to laugh for an hour and hall"
There were brandnew jokes and clever
and tuneful numbers. One Of these,
Hes a Cousin of Nine" sung by
Miss Cahill, was the most pronounced
hit of the evening.
The play, which has an unusually
we'll defined plot for the musical variety
deals with the matrimonial misadven-
lures of Marrying Mary" who, after
exchanging brief and unsatisfactory
vows with three husbands, senator
Mormon elder and an alchoholio
cousin, finds happiness at last with
fourth, Ormsby Culpepper, played by
William Courtleigh so well one was
not surprised he satisfied the heart
lodgings of the difficult Mary. Roy
Atwell played the part of the cousin
husband with a jag of realistic humor
and, with Eugene Cowles in the role
Of Col. Henry Clay Culpepper, contri-
buted largely to the evenings sue
cess.
The chorus, as became Marie Ca
hill show, was most decOrus-all skirts
being ankle -length-and was pretty
and tuneful besides.

BIG ATTRACTIONS COME 10 collEGE

President Penrose of Whitman COL
lege, has arranged to bring to Wall
la Walla this year line of the finest
attractions that have ever visited the
coast.
The Bonstonia Sextette, with Shana
Cumming, is the first. There is no
doubt that this attraction has no SUI
perior. They are world attraction
having played in the Royal theater,
Berlin, and in every other country.
They are only equaled by the Knei-
sells.
Shanna Cumming, soprano, with
them is known in Portland and San
Francisco.
The Leonora Jackson company is
the other musical attraction. AS a
violinist Miss Jackson has few equals
in the world and her company is re-
markable.
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills of Brook
Ign, Maud Ballington Booth and Sem
atOr La Toilette of Wisconsin are all
50 we'll known that it is useless to
speak of their merits.
These five attractions are to be
| brought to Walla Walla by President
PenrOse provided there are 500 people
| in the city who are willing to sub
scribe for season tickets to be paid
! for when the first attraction arrives.
This week the students are making
an effort to get the stipulated num-

Maine Tired Of Prohibition.
New York Sun.

It may perhaps be made to appear
to the unthinking that the campaign
which Sam Gompers conducted against
him, because he had refused to wear
the collar which the American FEEDER
alton of Labor wanted to put on him,
had something to do with Mr.. Little
fields greatly reduced plurality. 1t is
indeedSregrettable on his account that
Mr.. Littlefield's vote was reduced at all
but the fact remains, nevertheless, and
plain to any intelligent mind, that
Maine voted on but one issue yester-
bition Or resubmission.

The Haunted House.

staunch vessel eighty-eigh times be-
tween Philadelphia and London, COW

Captain Beavis, at a dinner at the

Green Food In Hot Weather.


The London Lancet calls attention to
the fact that on a sweltering day, when
the sight of animal food often lessons
the appetite, something fresh from the
garden not only makes cooked food
more palatable, but helps good diges-
ton. Says this paper:
When there is no inclination to eat or
when, as it is commonly sad person
does not fancy his food, there is. as
rule, torpidity of digestive function.

The salad need not be dish of cul-
tivated plants, such as lettuce, en-

In Lack of Leaders, Bryan Thrives
Denver Republican.

Denver Republican.
If there is anything remarkable
about Mr.. Bryan it is not the reception
given him in New York, but the fact
that he has retained so strongly his
hold upon the democratic party. This
however, is to be attributed mainly
to the lack of available leaders in that
party. The strength Of the democracy
is in the South, but men hailing from
that section, with the exception of one
or two states, are not available as
presidential candidates. Adverse COM
ment would be made if the candidate
were from any part of the South-even
from Maryland or Missouri or Ken
lucky. Mr.. Bryan thrives upon this
lack of leadership among Northern
and western democrats.
