SALT RIVER.
u Is Real Stream, Although Not
Navigable One.

lt Is a Real Stream, Although Not q
Navigable One. #s
y Salt river, sacred to defeated candi-
dates, is real stream While not
navigable, it is used every winter as an
Ice harbor by the toWboats which go
out of Pittsburg for the south.
Salt river empties into the Ohio
above twenty-five miles south of Louis
vile. 1t is small stream, which flows
from the Kentucky hills to the great
water, and is as tortuous, as crooked
and as unpleasant to navigate as the;
mind can imagine. Yet it is navigated
for short distance from its mouth by
steamers Of light draft Flatboats and
RATS are foated down upon its bosom
Before the civil war it was an impor-
tant stream in the matter of bringing
Kentucky whisky down in the fat
boats to a point where they could be
unloaded to river steamer. Refrac-
tory slaves were generally assigned to
the task Of bringing these boats down,
as the work was arduous.
Salt river became bugaboo among
the negroes, and 1t was from the un-
pleasant character Of the work on this
river that "a trip up Salt river" came
to be used in politics to express the
destination of defeated candidate.
There is not a river captain or pilot
in Pittsburg who does not know Salt
river, and there are few who have not
sought shelter within it's mouth when
the ice was running out of the Ohio
The salt name is supposed to have
come from the salt springs which flow
Into it at its source. 1t is also said the
name grew out of the fact that great
quantities Of salt produced in the Ken
lucky country are doated down this
stream.-Fuel

NEW YORK BY NIGHT.
The Spectacle of Its Lights From
Rivers and Harbor.

The Spectacle of Its Lights From
Rivers and Harbor.
By whatever route you reach or leave
Manhattan Island in the evening the
river lights are beautiful. On the North
river the spectacle varies according to
the hour and season, for the downtown
lights in Manhattan are more numer-
GUS when the days are short and the
tenants of the great Office buildings
have to light up to finish their days
work. Across from the lower Jersey
ferries late in the afternoon of winter
day glow and sparkle the great COM
pany of tall shafts grouped against the
sky, each one pierced to the top with
regular rows of shining windows. A
memorable sight they make, those
shafts and huge blocks of cleaning
holes, reaching far above their neigh
bors that come between them and the
river. There is much in that spectacle
to recompense tired man for being q
commuter, and nowhere else on earth
is there the like of it.
And, besides the tall shafts and the
intervening lower lights and the glow
Of the streets that run to the river and
border it, there are all the river lights
the ferryboats, with their long rows of
bright windows, hurrying on their va
rious courses; the sound steamers going
out, other steamers coming in; all man
ner of lights more sober on all manner
of shipping; the street glare and the
ferry house and wharf lights ashore,
and, higher up, here and there the OBJ
Tusive and commercial but none the
less radiant advertising signs.
The downtown Office building lights
go out early. most of them, but up the
river some of the tall uptown hotels
continue, all the evening and in spite
Of curtained windows, to be light
houses 81
On the East river, besides the city
lights and the river lights, are the high,
curving bridges, very striking and
beautiful, with their unobstructed out

duce the opera at some other New
York house and In several other Ameri-
can cities, but It appears that sd far
as the Metropo litan is concerned "sa-
lone" Is taboo
Practically all the New York news
papers pronounced the opera an I'M
speakable exhibition Of degeneracy.
Private citizens likewise excorlated 1t
In the press. But the fact that these
rich opera house owners set their ban
against the production. though the first
nights receipts were above $40 1000, Is
highly significant Nothing like that
ever before happened In this country.
To quote q familiar advertising line,
there's reason" No matter what
may be ones individual attitude In re-
gard to art In poetry and music, s.Sa-
lone" as played and sung by Herr
Conried's artists Is inevitably offen-
siye and shocking to the average per-
son. It is calculated to offend con
yentional senses Of propriety, whether
one be religious In the orthodox mean
Ing or not. And for one who rever-
ences the Bible and biblical characters
"salome' Is an affront to the very soul
Of sanctity.
Oscar Wilde wrote the words Of this
play. He wrote it in French as a one
act drama. It was translated into
English BY Lord Alfred Douglas, bosom
friend OF Wilde. Sarah Barnhardt was
prohibited from playing It In England
by the operation Of a law In that coun-
try against the production OF plays con-
tanning scenes from the Bible.
Peryersion Of Bible Scenes.
4 But, strictly speaking. "salome'' az
conceived BY Wilde - not really a por-
trayal Of Bible scenes. It Is q perver-
sion Of them. Most Of the action and
all of what some persons call the mo
tif sprang from the brain Of Oscar
Wilde. In the New Testament he
found dramatic story, horrible enough
there, inasmuch ais It told Of the be-
heading Of John the Baptist by Herod
at the instigation Of Herod's wife.

t. w
vivid and vital opera sensation
~ ever known In the United
States is now raging in New
York and rapidly spreading to the rest
Of operate America. The sensation is
"Salome' the unnamed Salome Of the
Bible. the Salome Of Richard Strauss
music, the Salome Of Oscar Wilde's
play.
And the worst Of these is the Wilde
Salome.
After one production at the Metro
politan Opera House the Strauss-Wil
Emusic drama has been retired, so far
as that institution is concerned. But it
was not prohibited by the police au-
thorities nor was Its sudden suspension
/ due to public protest. Most remark
ably, 'Salome' got its quietus through
q pen stroke from the secretary Of the
opera house directors, half a dozen
millionaires who are the principal own
ers Of the property. These men, head
ed BY ]. Pierpont Morgan, instructed
their secretary to notify Herr Conried,
director Of the opera house, that "Sa-
lone" was Objectionable and detri-
mental to the best interests Of the
house. We therefore protest against
any repetition Of this opera, was the
ultimatum hi "a

zusina the Eyes.

A scientific writer quotes Helmholtz
as saying that In his work he could
only liken himself to the mountaineer,
painfully and slowly climbing, often
obliged TO turn backward, lighting lat
er on new traces leading forward, and
finally reaching the goal, only to find
to his confusion that plain road led
thither. II he had only had the eyes to
see. Darwin said he thought he was
superior to the common run Of men In
noticing things which easily escape at
tention and in observing them care
fully.

Some few winters ago gang of car
riage washers was engaged washing
carriages on one of our northern rail-
ways when one of them remarked to
his mate, an old soldier who was ia
nous as a long bowist, 'It's awful cold
this morning, David"
Sold! This is nothing" said David.
II remember when was in Canada in
1856 one Of our mates died, poor chap.
And you will have some idea what
sort of frost it was when tell you it
froze the body so stiff and the ground
so hard that we had to get hammer
and chisel make a nick in the ground
and then drive him in with pile

could give the poor chap decent

pulses could imagine. Here is the
story as told In the fourteenth chapter
of Matthew: sss
For Herod had laid hold on John
and bound him and put him in prison
for Herodias' sake, his brother Philips
wife.
For John said unto him, It Is not
lawful for thee to have her. XII
And when he would have put him
to death he feared the multitude, be-
cause they counted him as prophet.
But when Herod's birthday was
kept the daughter Of Herodias danced
before them. which pleased Herod.
Whereupon he promised with an
oath to give her whatsoever she would
ask.
And she, being before instructed Of
her mother, said, Give me here John
Baptist's head In a charger.
And the king was sorry. Neverthe-
less for the oath's sake and them
which sat with him at meat he COM
manded It be given her.
"And he sent and beheaded John in
the prison.
"And his head was brought in a
charger and given to the damsel, and
she brought 1t to her mother 2

Herod Ant1pas, the Herod named In
the passage quoted. This Herod un-
lawfully married his brothers wife,
who deserted Philip for him. Salome
became the wife Of her half uncle, also
named Philip, a half brother Of her
father Philip. This second Philip was
said to be the decentest Of the whole
tribe Of Herods. He did some respec-
table things, which cannot be said for
the rest Of them, who were in very
truth miserable lot Of human beasts.
Salome's husband died In the year 81
"A. D., at Bethsaida, which place he
had made into city. So far as his
tory records, Salome was decent,
well disposed woman as things went
in those days.
Now, what does Oscar Wilde make
OF Salome? Verify the most hideously
depraved female wretch in the chron-
icles Of fact or fiction, a physical and
moral degenerate of the lowest type, d
revolving and disgusting woman.
Dramatists are not supposed to stick
to sober fact even when writing his
torical plays. Nobody expects that.
Fault Is not to be found with Wilde
for imagining things to strengthen his
dramatic theme. His fault lies Ia the
things he imagined. OF these one need
not speak further.
The dramatist makes Salome herself
responsible for the beheading Of John
the Baptist rather than her mother,
who brought about the prophets death
by way Of revenge for his opposition
to her unholy alliance with Herod.
He makes Herod In love with Salome
and Saiome In love with John the
Baptist. Some Of Wildes perversions
OF the Biblical tale are based upon the
nnaunderings Of previous dramatists
and romanticists. But the worst OF
them are out Of his own mind. They
are simply Wildesque.

!. In the play as produced at the Metro

Salome demanding of Her0d the head
of john the Baptist. the man who
prophesied the coming Of the Messiah.
Shc demands 1t because she has made
love to him and he has repulsed her.

hear 1t are loud in declaring that the
Strauss score Is equally degenerate
with the Wilde book.
AS there are no words In any Ian
guage to express certain symbolic,
suggestions, so there appear to have
been no musical instruments to ex-
press the Strauss interpretations Of
parts Of the Wilde "Salome.n Accord

Salome as played and danced by Miss
Marlowe Is by no means so degenerate
as the character In the opera. Never
theless. the play does not seem to
please New York. 1t is more than
probable that the western world Of the
twentieth century is not yet ready for
the dramatic presentation of sacred
theme, particularly when It Is pervert-
ed to the putridity OF the degenerate.
Art is not art when it becomes unnat-
urally indecent.

likelihood now that 'Salome" win be-

ADA Team WON THE
DEBATE FRIDAY
NIGHT
Ninth Congressional Cham

ing Team.

The championship of the Ninth con-
gressional district went to the Ada
high school debators in the debate on
Friday night in the auditorium of the
East Grand Forks high school against
the local high debators.
The debate was a good one, and the
auditorium was filled with supporters
of the locals, who put up an excellent
fight. The decision of the judges was
unanimous in favor of the Ada team
Walter Quigley, Walter Benson and
Ed McIllraith represented East Grand
Forks in the debate, and their work
was excellent. Their arguments were
good, and the manner in which they
presented them was also excellent.
The Ada team, composed of Ella Han
son, Elmer Thume and Alice Rowe
also did some fine work. They were
all good takers and their side of the
question was ably handled.
The question for debate was the ad-
visibility of increasing the strength
of the American navy, and East Grand
Forks handled the affirmative. Fol-
lowing the debate, a reception was
rendered to the visitors.

Bonnie Brler Bush.

THE Bonnie Brier Bush" that char
ming story of life in the Scottish
glens will appear at the Metropolitan
on Friday, Feb. 1.
No introduction is necessary to local
theatre patrons for this charming
dramatization of Ian MacLaren's wide
ly read Scotch tales, for it is undoubt-
eddy one of the most popular enter
tainments that come to our city. The,
same complete scenic production
freshly tseated-is promised, and a
supporting company such as has al
ways been provided with this attrac-
ton. Ian MacLaren's stories were
dramatized by James Macarthur, edi-
tor of "The Bookman," himself a ma
tive Scot, who succeeded admirably
in transferring the atmosphere of the
heather to the stage, making it a pay
that not only has much literary val
ue, but also fidelity of characterize
ton inspired by simplicity of treat
ment which makes the persons of the
play appeal to those of the audience
in an irresistible manner. 'The Bon
ME Brier Bush" is a comedy, which
however treats of the Transformation
of Lachlan Campbell" one of the most
touching passages of the book, and
has in particular two scenes of extra
ordinary power and pathos, that will
be we'll remembered by all who have
seen the play,

ONLY SIX SALOONS N THE CITY
If Bill Now Before Legislature is
Passed, Thirty Seven Thirst EN-.
pOriums Must Quit.

There is a bill before the legislature
this winter, which if passed would
put thirty-seven East Grand Forks
saloons out of business. However the
saloon keepers of the city are not
worrying much, as they do not think
that the bill will ever become a law.
The bill was introduced by Senator
s. A. Nelson and provides that in
Minnesota the number of saloons shall
be limited to one for every 500 inhabi-
tants in all towns and villages having
a population of less than 10000. East
Grand Forks would come under this
class. With population of 5000,
there would only be six saloons in the
city.
