The Great American Play
"Paid In Full'

"Paid in Full" Eugene Walters
play of modern American life, is ac-
knowledged the greatest drama OF
recent times. It's human interests
quality is uncOmmonly strong, and the
author has displayed keen knowledge
of mank ind in drawing his characters.
He has crowded his play with those
things that are most entertaining on
the stage. He has combined power
and depth and humor. Grave situa
tions are skilfullv alternated with drOll
comedy Nobody can fail to be i'm
pressed by paid in Full.' Everybody
finds it entertaining. There has never
been play which appeals so generally
as does this one, and for that very
reason it is the most popular of any
recent big success
paid 10 Full" will be presented at
the opera house on Saturday, Oct. =.
The cast the Wagenhas and kemper
company is sending here has won
of the five organizations that all last
season appeared in this celebrated play,
each of which was called into New
York in the course of the repeated en-
gagements of Paid in Full" in that
city where it's record is a run OF two
years There is "a distinct Importance
in these several New York engage
ments They prove the tremendous
popularity of paid in Full" which has
been shown in no less degree by its
reception elsewhere. Wherever "Pail
in Full" has been, the heartier it's well
come on its return, even when it has
gone back as many as five and six times.
The coming of this celebrated play to
the city with a brilliant New York cast
is of greatest interest to all patrons of
the local theatre.

Charitable Work

Rev. A. w. Laningham, Supt.
Columbia District Washington
Children s Home Society is spend
ing several days in this valley this
week looking after children with
out homes. This society is beyond
doubt one of the most deserving
institutions in the state and should
receive the support of every man
and woman who has the upbuild
ing of a purer and stronger man
hood and womanhood at heart.
Poor suffering children are taken
out of the filth and placed in re-
spectacle homes where they will be
clothed and fed and educated, and
many of them will make useful
men and women and be a credit to
the community in which they live.
Being a charitable institution con-
Quoted for the good of the poor and
needy it must necessarily look to
the public for support, and support
it should receive from every nook
in this grand state.

NOT A BAD THING
FOR US TO ADOPT

The city of Lynchburg, Penn,
has decided to tax bill boards.
This is an ingenious way of meet
ing the difficult question of the dis
6gurement of cities by advertise
ments. So long as public opinion
is dormant so long will flaring adj
vertisements continue to make the
street and the landscape ugly. 1t
is, of course, idle to blame the adj
vertisers. They are simply looking
after their interests. They have
gone so far as to placed the islands
above Niagara and the august face
of the sphinx. Fences, barnes,
sides of houses, publish the virtues
of this nostrum or that inflamlng
posters. If the aesthetic says they
are offensive, the farmer replies
that they pay, and so long as he
prefers money to beauty it is hard
to see where the remedy is to be
found. But in Lynchburg the city
fathers have declared that for every
billboard the advertising firms shall
pay a minimum tax of $3.50. For
large boards the tax is increased.
If people will make the locality
hideous they must pay tor the
privileges. That is fair enough,
and it would be a good thing if the
idea could be introduced in Wash
ington cities generally and the
sooner the better.

Town and County Councils which
deal respectively with education,
health, insanity, old age, and UNI
employment. 1t should be their
business to see that no case of need
falling within their province should
be allowed to reach absolute desti-
tuition. That course would in the
long run, be both cheaper and more
humane. 1t is wiser to cure man
of consumption in the early stages
than to allow him to become in
durable and to support his wife
and family after his death, wiser
to train a child to profitable trade
than to permit it to drift into the
ranks of the unemployable. Lon

To ABOLISH POVERTY
IN ALL COUNTRIES

We are all so accustomed to the
spectacle of hopeless and degrad
ing poverty that most of us &C
quiesCe in its existence with only
such a perfunCtory salve to our
consciences as is represented by an
occasional gift of money or food
to beggar or a subscription to a
favorite charity. But that desttu-
ton should continue at all in
Our highly developed community,
with all its apparatus of material
wealth and marvellous control over
nature, is disgrace to our civil
cation. 1t is due mainly to the
fact that for several generations
men have devoted so much thought
and energy to machinery and to
the organization of business that
they have had little time to spare
for the organization of society. If
the wonderful care and ability
given now to the making of motor
cars or battleships were turned in
stead into social channels, poverty
could be abolished altogether from
England. For poverty. after all,
is not dread unCauSed misfortune
swooping on a man he knows not
whence or why. 1t is due to GER
tain clear and definite causes
age, sickness of mind or body, I'M
employ ment, absence or careless
ness of proper guardians in child
hood, and to the last we may add
its effect in mature life, deficient
education, and industrial training.
If we could remove these causes
we could abolish the degrading ex-
trem1ty OF poverty winch we call
restitution, save in the very few
cases where it is due to the delib
crate wrong doing of the individual
himself. But in order to abolish it
we must deal with its cause long
before that stage of dire need has
been reached, which is now the
essential preliminary to poor relief
And to deal adequately with the
cause we must have recourse to
specialized authorities with their
trained officials Those authori
ties are already in existance in the
persons of those Committees of

KITTlTAS HIGH LINE
CANAL LOOKS BETTER

Construction Of the high line canal,
at Ellensburg and in Kitttas county is
getting nearer, according to kilograms
sent out from the capital of Kittitas
county. G. H. Swigert and Ralph
Williamson, engineer and attorney re-
spectively of the reclamation service
were in Ellensburg last week and con-
ferred with the board of directors of
the high line canal. The conference,
according to an Ellensburg dispatch
was held as the result of telegraph
or ders from Richard A. Ballinger,
secretary of the interior, to the reclaim
alton service officers in Yakima. FL
lens burg business men in touch with
the situation express themselves as
we'll satisfied with the progress being
made.
1.-THE high line canal looks like a
sure thing" said director today.
"The construction of the canal has
looked feasible for some time. Our
doubt has been whether or not the
government would have the necessary
money to spare to construct it. Now it
looks as il the government will lend
aid even if it cannot spare the money.
Within the next week, | believe, there
will be developments which will prac.
tically assure the canal. "-Ya kima

history of this nation.
Else why do we hear so manv
times a day from almost every
walk of life except the millionaire,
the expression, I wish Teddy was
back i'll the White House."
The party leaders have sure
enough started something this time
and the stampede is country wide.
From Boston to Seattle and Canada
to the Gulf the same cry is going
up-and one wonders what it will
be when three years have elapsed.
to make bad matter worse, the
public utterances of the president
on his trip have not allayed the
indignation. They have confirmed
what people were loath to believe.
Indeed it might be said that the
president has done something but
explain and defend the party at
every turn, and self justification is
usually self accusation.
Did you notice that Old Liners
like Judge Hartford and ex-Gover-
nor McGraw and John l.. Wilson
no later than yesterday in Seattle
attacked the conservation policies
of Clifford Pinchot? Whooping it
up to make the party solid, eh?
How do the people receive it?
Around the hotel lobby every
morning you will hear the first
man who reads it say, it s DIN rot

with everybody in the jackpot.
Which proves that President
Taft old line friends and machine
politicians are doing as much to
make him unpopular as he is him
self, and that is saying great
deal

man with character to swim up

WANTS KITTITAS
IRRIGATED FIRST

James Ramsay, banker and bust
ness man of Ellensburg, appeared be-
fore the members of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday at it's regular
meeting and discussed the irrigation
project in Kittitas county. Mr.. Ram
say appealed to the members to use
their influence on the congressional
representatives of the state to secure
appropriations for the immediate con-
struction of the canal.
"The proposition of whether or not
the government canal in Kittitas coun-
ty, for which a survey is being made
now, is built before the proposed canal
in Benton and Yakima counties Affects
Seattle as well as Ellensburg," said he,
Gas canal in Ellensburg will increase
The value OF the present arid lands and
open up county east of the mountains
anxious to keep up commercial rela-
tions with Seattle.
''On the other hand, if the canal in
Benton and Yakima counties is con
structed prior to the Kittitas canal
Portland will reap the benefit OF the
resources OF the lower region, and may
in short time encrOach on the region
still farther north by way Of the Col
umbia river. Seattle would thus lose
big volume of Eastern Washington
trade.
1.-THE Yakima river, which flows
through both the Kittitas and Yakima
districts, has its sources in Lake Kee-
chelus Kachess and CleElum, north
west OF the city of Elleneburg. The
river then flows through Kittitas coun-
ty and passes on down the Yakima and
Benton county districts.
"If the proposed canal is constructed
in Kittitas county, it will irrigate TO-
900 sores of land, and the water will
then all pass on into the Yakima river
again"
The matter was referred by the
Chamber of Commerce to the commit
tee on national affairs. p. |.

TO TAMPER
IN CURRENCY
THE RESULT YET UNKNOWN
President Taft Favors Strong
Central Bank and Congress
Will be Asked to Give As
sistance to That End

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-ln
something less than five years-to
be exact, on June 40, 1914; the
Aldrich- Vreeland financial act will
expire by limitation, and unless be-
fore that date it is replaced by a
wisely framed measure of broad
scope the country again will be in
the perilous situation that is COM
monty believed to have resulted IN
the panic of l9O7S. There is a
general realization of the necessity
of e gislation on this subject.
Speaker Cannon believes that more
extension of the present law, with
perhaps a few amendments, will
suffice. President Taft looks with
favor upon the proposition to create
a great central bank, and there are
all sorts of intermediate schemes.
Probably that which commends
the greatest support will be based
upon the recommendations of the
monetary commission that has been
at work for more than year
gathering the material for the con-
struction of the actual legislation.
1t is fully understood by Senator
Aldrich, who heads the commits
sion, and by students of finance,
that it will be difficult to arouse
public interest in this rather abb
struse subject and that only by
general agitation can congress be
brought to action.
Therefore, soon after the return
to America from Europe of Senator
Aldrich, Professor Andrews and
other members of the commission,
which is expected to be about the
middle of next month, preparations
will he made for the publication
of the preliminary report of the
commission, and it is hoped that
this can be ready for submission to
congress when it reassembles i'll
December. This will be only the
beginning; for the full report is to
be so comprehensive that it can
not possibly be completed within
another year.
This commission has been en-
gagged in a careful study of the
financial systems of Great Britain
and the principal continental pow
ers and a mass of data of great i'm
portance has been collected.
Though nominally created to
deal only with the subject of cur
rency and the bond issues, the
commission has enlarged its scope
so as to include the national bank
ing system, and it is believed that
even the state banks will be dealt
with in the forthcoming report.
The projected great central bank
will be fully exploited, for their is
reason to believe that even in bank
ing circles considerable misappre-
hension exists as to the function of
such an institution,

A REPUBLICAN
REPRIMAND
A TOUCH FROM THE HERALD
The Reader Can Consider and
Draw his Own Conclusions
As to the Merit or Unfairness
Of the Subject Matter

The following article we clip
from staunch republican paper
the Yakima Herald as to the
truth or falsity of the subject mat
ter dealt within the article we have
nothing to say-we leave it solely
with our readers to draw their own
conclusions and their own decisions
as to its merit or demerit. Here
it u.s.
There is a play called The
Easiest Way 1t is a problem
play in which the heroine of the
production is confronted with the
alternative of continuing an uphill
fight to follow the paths of recti-
tude and virtue or of drifting with
the tide toward the goal from which
the Good Book tells us there is no
redemption.
1t requires character to stay with
the former course; it does not re-
quire character to follow the latter
That in brief is just the differ
ence between an old line machine
republican like Senator AldriCh
and an insurgent' like Senator
La Toilette, Dolliver or Cummins.
In Boston President Taft lauded
Senator Aldrich who did his might
lest to foist on the public a tariff
bill in which the revision promised
to the people by the republican
leaders was upward instead of
downward.
In Winona the president read
such men as LaFollette and Dolli-
yer and Cummins out of the repub
lican party because they would not
listen to any revision except a
revision downward.
In Denver Taft defended the cor
poration tax and scored the income
tax, although he has admitted that
an income tax could be framed
which would be constitutional and
he has admitted that an income tax
would cause the burdens of taxation
to be borne by those most able to
stand them. This he excuses on
the ground that the republican
party is pledged to the protective
policy.
Who pledged it?
Such men as Senator AldriCh and
Speaker Cannon and their coterle
OF followers who constitute the
monied interests of the country.
They are responsible for the whole
program. This repertoire has been
foisted on the people and they have
just discovered that a high tariff
causes a raise IN the cost of living
and that it enables extra dividends
on the preferred stock of such in
fant industries as the Steel Trust
and Standard Oil. Yet this is the
protective policy to which the re-
publican party is Pledged"
Funny is it not how quickly the
scenes are shifted. Scarcely a year
ago it was almost impossible to
discover a man who was not proud
OF the face that he was a republl-
can. Walk down the street this
morning and you will discover just
as large a percentage disguised
Win that party and tor why!
Because a year ago the republi-
can party stood for the welfare OF
the people as opposed to the inter
ests, while today it stands for the
interests as opposed to the people
