Prom the Portland Labor Press.
Monday night at ST. Johns. O
suburb Of Portland. the Americans
employed in the lumber mill made
a demonstration against Hindu
laborers. Nobody was really hurt,
but the Hindus left st. Johns.
Now British Consul I.aidlaw has
invoked the strong arm Of the law.
and many arrests have been made
Of men supposed to have been in
the St. Johns mob"
Nothing will come Of the "tem-
pest in teapot" Every one knows
that these Hindus were imported
into British Columbia for the pur-
pose Of reducing the wages Of the
white subjects of King Edward.
These subjects made a demonstra-
ton against the Hindus. aud they
were moved into United States ter
ritory. When London ofiicialdom
howled about the unlawful acts Of
British Columbia subjects, that
province told the officials TO chase
themselves. That. II British Colum-
bia could not remain q white mans
country under the British flag. 1t
would have flag Of its own. That
quieted London.
The St. Johns demonstration will
prove whether the white men of
Oregon, under the Stars and Stripes.
have less rights than the men of
British Columbia. 1t will prove
whether Portland courts can be
blu6ed by the roar OF the British
Lion.

pEcENcY ON THE STAGE.
Should Be Encouraged by Firm Pub
lie Stand Against Nastiness.

The battle for the gplift of the stage
is not without doughty comoatants on
the side of decency. New York, wnlcn
has hitherto been the one city Wnere
the promoters of the nasty stage snow
had free hand. bids fair TO become
thanks to Mayor Gaynor--as decent as
the rest of the country. II IS signi-
fieant fact that the pornographic
drama, which has prospered in New
York, has languished in the prov
inces." Productions that frankly APP
peal to the baser side of human ma
ture have found a hearing and result
ant profit In the metropolis. because
of the large number of transients VINO
are In the city every day, ana VINO
will ION trip" stand for something
that they would not look at when at
home. These same productions, when
sent out on the road, have usually
failed 10 make money even when they
were allowed to be presented by the
authorities.
Now. however. Mayor Gaynor has
taken the decided stand that might
have been expected from an official OF
his character When the managers OF

In similar fashion the police OF
Chicago, under the instigation OF
Mayor Busse, have brought about
change of name and otner reforms in
production that made open appeal
to the libidinously minded-an appeal
which, OF course. was not entirely JUS
titled by the character of the produc-
ton itself That Is one of the. famtl-
lar devices of the promoters of the
indecent stage show They promise
by innuendo and hint more nastiness
than they dare actually to produce.
We do not need and would not toll
crate q stage censorship in this coun-
try, but we do need active police OFF,
cials who will stop productions that
are frankly bad. and we need still
more healthy public sentiment that
will stand behind and encourage those
managers. those playwrights and
those players who are self-respecting
and ambitious for the uplift of the
stage. The encouragement of liberal
patronage for the deserving and ar
tistic production is just as necessary
for this upiife as the encouragement
of the other sort.--Minneapolis Jour

The heart of London, that region
about the Bank of England and the
Royal Exchange, which has been
dubbed the financial hub Of the
world" stands in what Is the strangest

Its rights and dignfties.
The church of this parish stood on
Threadneedle street, on the site of
the Bank of England of to-day, but
the church was dem olished at the
time OF the improvement of the bank
In the year 1891 The church was a
safety edtfice, altered and beauttfied
ravages of the great fire of London,
and embellished by gifts from the
city's wealthy aldermen.
The first authentic reference to the
church is found in the year 1892, but
1t is certain that the church was in
existence at least 100 years prior to
this date, inasmuch as without the
este stood a pair of stocks for the
punishment OF those whose offenses
had been committed within the city
limits. These were abolished In 12S2,
when Edward l. was king.
