'The Whip" Is Smart

There is a play called The Whip"
beginning the second year of a re-
markable run at the Drury Lane It is
the smart thing to go to The Whip"
and the smart thing to. praise it for
cleverness. TO the disparagement of
the Jones and Wilde revivals of Sir
Charles Windham and George Alexan-
der. And not only is THE Whip" re-
peating its remarkable success of last
year, but it is doing big business with
secondary companies in the provinces.
To one coming to London as to the
center of Anglo-Saxon art, the re-
markable thing about THE Whip" is
not that 1t has run a year. but that 1t
ever ran at all. It makes the visiting
westerner wonder what London would
call poor play. especially as Hall
Caine has revamped one Of his old
novels into another popular success,

The Whip" is a racing play on the
lines of "Old Kentucky. but without

Of stage business. But they fail on
the side of personality. Pop has

every Orpheumite knows.
There are many larger halls than

Ones comfort here Is certainly not
neglected. There are wide spaces be-
tween seats, large Hobbies and lounging
rooms where the men retire to drink
tea and eat cake between acts IL they
don't care for the barroom. Stock
tfckers tap off the results OF races and
important bits of news in some OF the
places. But the price of the Orpheum's
best seat gives one only an obscure
place IN an upper gallery In London.

The title OF the. present ballet is
'Femina." It's idea is allegorical and
aims to show the power Vanity has
exercised over woman in the various
ages.
The first scene is in an Eden like
garden, where the spirit of vanity finds
Femina asleep under a tree. TO tempt
her Vanity invents fashion and makes
Femina q costume of flowers and vines
Femina succumbs to the lure.
The next scene is a cave of the stone
age. The men are bushy and gro
tesquely clothed In skins Femina is
their queen. She is about to give her
self to the winner Of the tourname-t
when a young chief back from -
chase offers her the furs he
brought. Thus she is again won -

MONEY ON THE "MULE."

Discussing the present political
outlook in story in the Pacific
Monthly John E. Lathrop makes the
following interesting observation with
reference TO the present attitude of
Wall street towards the democrats
party:
1T is possible today to write plainly
that the financial interests centered in
Wall Street have turned to the demo-
cratic party and hope to capture ii
for the 1912 campaign. The money
OF the interests" has been poured in
the late elections to elect democratic
candidates in the East. None who
boasts even moderate information
now questions the accuracy of that
assertion. In Ohio, Judson Harmon's
campaign was supplied with funds
without stint; in New York, John A.
Dix, nominated by Charles Murphy,
boss of Tammany Hall, was supported
BY all the power of ''the Street.; in
New Jersey, Woodrow Wilson had as
sistance from the same strongboxes;
in Indiana, John Kern in his fight
against Senator Beveridge needed only
tc ask for campaign funds to get
them in plentitude. 1t was the same
wherever in the East democrats went
10 the electorate.
The story related last month in
this department-that ]. P. Morgan
early last summer issued orders to his
subordinates in banking and indus
try to support Harmon-proved to
Nave been true; but it was likewise
true that he gave orders to support
other democratic nominees, and that
Wilson and Dix and Kern were on his
list of favored seekers for political
honors. Western followers of Thorn
as Jefferson may as we'll face the
truth-the cards have been stacked
against the popular rule in the demo-
cratic party: for, unless signs are
misleading, the current is running
strongly towards the Morgan control
of that party"
How is such friendship as this go7
ing to affect the mule?

\ CHRISTMAS GREETING.

In the January number of the Pa
cific Monthly, which by the way, is
the leading magazine of the west,
this paper has a feeling of pride be-
cause of the fact that four men who
were formerly identified with the
East Oregonian figure conspicuously
in that number. They are Fred Lock
ley, John E. Lathrop. Randall R.
Howard and C. E. Fisher.
AS most local people know, Mr.
Lockley, who was formerly a stock
holder in the East Oregonian and
served as circulation manager of the
paper, is now the manager of the
Pacific Monthly. He has one of the
most desirable and best paying po-
sitions of its kind on the coast and his
vigorous work is doing much to make
the magazine the success it is.
John E. Lathrop, who for many
years was city editor of this paper. is
now a special correspondent at Wash
ington, D. c., and has become one of
the ablest and best known of the
western writers at the capital. He is
writing a series of articles for the Pa
cific Monthly and the one for Janu-
airy is upon the subject The West
and the National Capital" In the
article Mr.. Lathrop treats of political
and economic subjects that are Of
especial interest to western people.
Randall r. Howard, who formerly
served as telegraph editor Of the East
Oregonian, leaving here slightly over
year ago, edits the development
news for the Pacific Monthly and in
the January number he has special
story telling Of THE Present and Fu-
ture Of Eastern Oregon" Mr.. How
ard IS now engaging in magazine
writing exclusively and during the
past year many articles by him have
appeared in such magazines as "The
Worlds Work" "McClure's," "The
lecnulcdl NOIIu anu otnSI edSlSih IL
publications. His stories all treat of
Industrial or economic subjects.
Mr.. Fisher was also formerly tele-
graph editor for this paper He is
a brother-in-law of the Rev. w. L.
Van Nuys and came from Indiana TO
accept a position in Pendleton. Dur
ing the past few years he has been
the designer on the Pacific Monthly.
II is a position that commands a good
salary and Mr.. Fisher is filling It with
much credit.
Naturally the East Oregonian looks
with satisfaction on the success with
which these men are meeting in the
higher fields where they are now en-
gagged. These men received much Of
their journalistic training here and
surely it is creditable to the East
Oregonian that such men were once
upon its staff.
Nor are these four men the only
Fast Oregonian men who have made
good. There are others who have
been with this paper in its various de-
partments during its long existence
and are now meeting with equal and
even greater success. To enumerate
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-12-24

ali who deserve mention upon this
score would take too long. But in all
these men and wohen the East Ore
gonian feels an interest and justly so.
The success of this paper is due large
l. to the brains. the energy and the
loyalty Of those who served it in days
that are gone,
For those who have been with this
paper in the past, no matter in what
capacities, the East Oregonian hopes
the fullest measure of success and to
those men and women and to all the
readers and patrons OF this paper the
East Oregonian extends this yuletide
greeting.
Merry Christmas, may you all live
long and prosper"

AN AMERICAN DYNASTY.

Frank ]. Cannon, formerly United
States senator from Utah, reveals in
the first of a series Of articles in Ev-
erybody's for December the true po-
litical situation in Utah. The editors
note which precedes the first article
says:
"It is the story of the establish
ment of an absolute throne and dy-
nasty by one American citizen over
half a million others.
nd it is the story Of the absolute
rule of this one man, Joseph F.
Smith, the Mormon prophet, reli-
gious fanatic Of small and bitter mind,
giving commandments of perfidy as
the divinely ordained 'mouthpiece of
the Lord - demanding unquestioning
obedience in all things, and enforcing
the demand by his religious, political
and financial control Of the faith, the
votes, and the property Of his fellow
citzens-living, like the Grand Turk,
with five wives, openly, against the
temporal laws Of the state, against
the spiritual laws Of his Kingdom of
Cod and IN violation Of his own SOL
emn covenant to the country-secret-
ly preaching a prescribed doctrine Of
pOlygamy as necessary to- salvation,
but publicly denying this teaching so
that he may escape responsibility for
the sufferings Of the plural wives and
unfortunate children, who have been
betrayed by the authority Of his dog
ma-and. through it all, protected
