MARTHA WASHINGTON IGNORED
MAYOR GUTHRIE IS ACCUSED OF
DISCOURTESY.
Pittsburg Factions Fuss Over Social
Features of Anniversary
Concentration.

PITTSBIJRG, September 3o.-PittSburg
has lovely row on at the present time
over her one-hundred- and fiftieth ami
versary.
Everybody is accusing everybody else
of not entertaining the city's guests prop
erly. 1t is almost certain that a real
scandal will crop out before the affair is
over.
Mayor George w Guthrie has succeeded
in getting his name in the papers oftener
than any one else There is not little
feeling of jealousy. or something akin to
it, shown over this.
An incident at the big ball attended
by 1900 persons Monday night has set on
foot the story that Mayor Guthrie and
his wife. supposed to represent Pitts
burg, allowed Martha Washington, de-
scendant from Samuel Washington. the
city's guest. to be sighted. while the
citys father and mother paid undivided
attention to the Pitt-Taylors and others
who had come from England.
1t was not even known to the rank
and file that Miss Washington was in
Pittsburg. The city press agent pub
lished some time ago that Miss WISH
ington would not be here. She was given
dark corner in the official box Mon
day night. and il was not until she was
led out on the arm of city council
man to take part in the grand march
and her name announced that the as
semblage knew who she was.
Then it was that Pittsburg-the real
hard working Pittsburg-rose and gave
Martha Washington a roar of welcome
that shook the chandeliers. and for the
time being at least obscured the mayor
and wife and their favored guests from
England.
1t is asserted that Mayor Guthrie
some time since ignored committee of
representative women which had been
named to take charge of the social af-
fairs and appointed another committee,

whole impression was Of keen and
controlled vitality A man could
hardly seem more eagerly alive, and
yet he had directed all that life into
a single channel and held it there.
He had no need to say he loved his
work. He did not, indeed, say so.
The olive spoke spontaneously IN al
most every sentence and every glance.
His work does not merely suffice for
his physical, mental and nervous en-
ergy. He loves, it so kindly that IT

A DESCRIPTIVE INTERVIEW

Mr.. Frohman sat on the edge of
his chair and yet sat firmly Even
when he leaned forward in the eager
earnestness Of his talk, his shoulders
were still squared and his feet secure
ly planted. In this position and in
his manner of holding it were three
of his salient traits-alertness preci-
sion, and tensity of will The alert
ness shone clearest in his eyes They
were neither piercing nor searching,
but they we're steady and clear and
bright. A fresh idea, recollection
recalled, an agreeable anticipation, a
disappointment, of which the humor
but not the bitterness remained-each
in turn animated them. They we're
eyes that were always seeing some
thing-plays, players, conditions,
plans and hopes, as the talk followed
some new road or turned for NOM
ent into some by-path, and seeing
them, as living things. Some eyes
see the hearts of things, and others
see all things as in vague visions.
Mr. Frohman's see everything alive.
The precision was plainest in his
words. Almost every sentence was
short. In almost every one the idea
and the expression were closely knit.
If he paused for moment it was to
make both compact and full. Usually
both came tersely to his lips. His
talk, perhaps from much reading, re-
hearsing and testing of plays, was
sometimes curiously like the best of
stage dialogue, entirely unconstrain-
ed, unmistakably clear, precise with
out fornality, and driving home on
the instant its particular point Of
emphasis The earnestness and the
precision were both in the tones and
only rarely did they need the aid of
the extended arm and finger as Of
man acustomed to impress his idea
upon others who were not always
quite alert to them The unique
characteristic Of the talk was its com
pactness. In an hour Mr.. Frohman
had said as much as some will say in
three. The tensity of will in the
whole man in the strong, eager,
smooth shaven face, in the head set
alertly and firmly on the square
shoulders, in the compact and unas-
sertive vigor Of the sturdy body. The

HOME BUSINESS COURSE.

The proposition recently submitted
by City Superintendent A. L. Clark
Of the Astoria school district, for the
establishment Of business-course as
part of the common school curriculum
here, is one that invites the best
thought of the board of directors
with view to its adoption The cost
Of such an annex is inconsiderable at
best, and in view Of the good that
may be wrought by its application,
will far exceed any ordinary outlay
that ma be made.
It appeals to the home-spirit, and
makes the public school Of Astoria
that much more an active and COM
peny ting business principle, in the
general utility Of the school, and in
creases its value to the pupil to whom
the advantage falls, since he or she
will not have to leave home to get it,
nor pay for it.
The business course is part and
parcel of the preliminary equipment
Of the modern child, and if it can be
woven in the public benehce already
enjoyed, without undue cost and
trouble, then it should be granted, and

SIXTY PER CENT VALUES.

The State OF Washington is fully
alive to the necessity OF compelling
her railways to bear an honest share
Of the taxes Of the State; the 90 per
cent valuation adopted by her tax
commission on the presentation
made by the railroad commission, is
an equitable estimate and the people
will appreciate the fact that the great
enterprises they have done so much
for and are constantly doing for, are
at last making some tangible and de-
cent return for the marvellous gen
erosity that made the initial launching
OF the railways possible. And it is
high time Oregon was getting in on
the same lay.
No one desires to see any institu-
ton imposed upon, and no one is go
ing TO stand for any raw and unseen
ly legislation; but the railway of to-
day is purely business proposition.
There are no ethics, no emotions, no
tine-spun theories, no delicate prin-
ciples, about railway business; it is
all, and simply, question of money,
profit, interest and dividends, and the
spirit of the dollar pervades it to the
exclusion Of everything else on earth.
The railway is supreme and fixed
advantage and must be had to hold a
State or community within the
commercial radius, but the railway is
the winner in every deal it undertakes.
and none Of them ever yet acknowl-
edged that what was done for it, by
communal impulse, individual con-
cession, or legal adjustment, was
enough; they are eternally crying and
contending for more, more, more; and
the people have given TO them with a
magnificent unselfshness that has
never been transcended in any line of
business in The world. 1t is time the
pendulum was swinging the other
way.
While the State of Washington will
collect something like eleven mil
lions from its railway taxes for the
year 1908, Oregon will gather in less
than one million. The difference is
too asounting to contemplate with
equanimity or business federation
The people are demanding something
more exactly and proportionately
just; and they are going to have it,
if ever they get from under the spell
of railway domination When they
do throw off the bride wherewith
they have been led and coddled for
the past quarter century, the Astoria
and Columbia River road will be pay
ing from $4,000 to 100000 annually
to the County Of Clatsop, instead of a
beggarly $4,000; and road that
nets its owners from $175,000 to $225,-
900 per annum can afford the access.
