1t was indeed refreshing to have
the opportunity Of Witnessing a dra-
matte performance which has genu-
inc merit. This was the feeling which
possessed those who heard Lee Will
lard interpret the part of Noah Vale
in the title role of "A Poor Relation
at the theatre last night Mr.. Willard
is versatile in his interpretations, and
has the happy faculty of presenting
both the serious and the ludicrous
sides of life to his auditors in a very
satisfactory manner.
The satisfaction with which his
work is received is largely on ac-
count of the fact that he possesses
the dramatic inst net and has drama
tic ideals, and for this reason his
splendid company is worthy of the
support of any community.
The play of "a Poor Relation" is
an excellent production. It is clean,
moral and wholesome.

Lee Willard in Leading Role, With
Excellent Cast, Makes
Rig Hit

Never before has Lee Willard APP
peared to greater advantage before a
Salem audience than last night in the
role of Noah Vale, seedy genius, in
Edward e. Kidder's masterpiece dra-
ma, "A Poor Relation" which was
presented at the Grand Opera house
by Lee Willard and his company.
This was the first performance of the
season and it was greeted by a good
sized and highly pleased audience.
This comedy drama was the great IA
vorite of the celebrated actor, Sol
Smith Russell, and Mr.. Wizards
characterization of the leading role
Noah Vale, certainly did credit to
his much revered predecessor. The
cast of characters throughout was the
best that the theatrical market can
afford and, Judging from the number
of curtain calls accorded the leading
characters, If Mr.. Willard should live
to favor Salem audience with his
appearance again, he will most GER
tainly fill the house to Overlooking. =

SpOkane.-"A Poor Relation" one
of the brightest jewels in the drama
tic crown of the late Sol Smith Rus
sell, was given a creditaDle presenta-
ton by Lee Willard AMI his company
at the Spokane theat e last evening
Nj. Willard has wiser followed the
lines of his illustrious predecessor in
his conception of the part and in the
general staging of the play. The re-
suit is a close replica of the homely
play which so firmly intrenched itself
in the hearts of playgoers of another
generation. Mr.. Willard gives a
pleasing Interpretation of the title
role. In the quaint character OF Noah
Vale, whose rugged honesty and no.
bility of character were greater than
placed within his grasp, it is the sin
cerest tribute to his art to say that
it is strongly reminiscent Of the great
actor who created the part.
1t IS a tale tE<t tugs at the heart
strings, that of the seedy genius
whose first thought was for others
when success crowned his grim strug-
gle with poverty for recognition of
his invention.
His simple faith in humanity and
his tender solicitude for the little chill
dren of the poor, with whom he
shared his garnet, his crusts, his bad
and good fortune, were convincingly
portrayed.
Altogether, "a Poor Relation"
points a moral and breaches the
strongest kind of sermon for right
eousness.

Carnegie decided to follow the advice of
her sisters in Pittsburg and emigrate to
the new world With many of their
neighbOrs they were reduced to desperate
straits. and their outlook seemed hope
less. Margaret Carnegie is said to have
been more responsible for the change
of residence than her husband. She was
a remarkable woman. The old people OF
Dunfermline remember her as a person
of strong character, superior intellect,
pubic spirit and "a great reader of the

Carnegie's Father a Weaver.
William Carnegie was a master weaver.
which was the principal occupation of the
inha bitants of Dunfermline. where the
linen industry has almost entirely alb
sorbed the attention of the population
for several centuries. In those days weav-
ing was done in the household and not in
factories as now, and it was the am
bition of every progressive man to own a
fully. equipped loom, which cost about
500. and thus assure his independence
and his responsibility in the COM
muntiy. Some of the thriftier and
more prosperous of the master WeaverS
owned three or four looms, and to ac-
commodate them rented rooms in the
neigh borhood OF their homes and en-
ployed less fortunate fellow townsmen to
operate them. AS a rule there was one
loom to a house, at which every member
of the family took his or her turn:
Thread after thread makes up the claith,
Until the wage he wins
And ilka weaver makes the MAR

MIR. BRYAN.

Whatever differences of opin-
ion there may be regarding
Mr.. Bryan's political philosophy
and conduct, all reasonable men
must unite in regarding him as
one of the most extraordinary
and interesting figures in
American political history. He
is a human phenomenon whom
only the unintelligent can brush
aside with contemptuous allu-
sions to his alleged loose think
ing, demagoguery, and persis-
tent office-seeking. Next to
President Roosevelt, he is un-
questionably the most widely
known living American. The
position which he has attained
as a public parsonage, both at
home and abroad, has been
gained not merely without the
prestige of public office, but in
the face of the two most disas-
trous political defeats in Amer
lean history. In his tour round
the world he was both regarded
and respectfully treated, not as
a private citizen, but as, in a
certain sense, a representative
American. No officer of the
Government except President
Roosevelt, probably not even
Secretary Taft or Secretary
Root, could have received such
demonstrations of popular In
terest. And yet he has beer
twice defeated as a candidate
for the highest office in the
land, and excellent judges II
his own party assert that Il
