MUSIC
AL COM E Y

A press notice says: "A comic
opera of delightful quality and un-
usual merit both in book, lyrics and
score is "The Gingerbread Man
which will be given this evening
with the original No. 1 company
fresh from a tour of the larger cities
where it has enjoyed unusual sue
cess in this the third year of its pre-
sentation. The reason for this is
obvious. The piece is one of GER
tain merit-frst of all for its par
ticularly beautiful music, which by
the way was composed by A. Bald
win Sloane, who has given us such
tuneful compositions as "The Mock
ing Bord," Jack and the Bean
Stalk" Sergeant Kitty" Broad
way to Toxic" and Coming
Through the Rye Mr.. Sloane's
music is not only tuneful, but it Is
written in musicians style, and
although it has a trick of catching
the ear, it has class which enables
its composer to rank with the best
that America produces. One charm
about Mr. Sloanes works is that he
never writes alike and his themes
are so varied that the fault Of
sameness so noticeable in many COM
posers, some even who have
achieved greatness, is not noticeable.
He has no particular style and mus-
clans that are familiar with his
work are often surprised at the
broadness of his field in the musical
He has gotten to that
point where he dominates with al
most every author that he collabor-
ates with, and frequently lyrics are
written to his measure, when the
usual mode is that the lyrics are
written first and the music after
ward This as a rule insures
more successful score and in "Tha
Man" we find almost
perfect one. This may probably be
accounted for from the fact that
Frederick G.. Rankin and A. Baldwin
were in perfect accord"

SALEMITE
COMPARES
TWO CITIES
FINDS THINGS no SAY ABOUT
EUGENE AND SALEM--THEIR
POSSIBLE CENSUS RETURNS
BOTH ARE EDUCATIONAL
CITIES OF THE FIRST CLASS.

A Salem real estate booster who
has just returned from few days
spent at Eugene, has the following
comparisons to make between the
two cities:
"A number of Eugene people have
the idea that this town is larger
than Salem in many ways, aside
from a possible larger population.
Some even believe Eugene's popuia-
tion is larger than that of the Capl-
tai City. The only reasonable ex-
cuse Eugene has for not knowing
the real facts is due largely to the
fact that she is little out OF the
world, lying 1913 miles south from
the metropolis. There is not enough
cooperation, or visiting, If you
please, carried on by Eugene people
with her sister cities far down the
valley.
I'm other words, Eugene is car
ried away with her own boosting
and is beginning to believe it her.
self Because she has heard a CON
tinual ding-dong about the wonder
full city of Eugene for a long time,
Eugene has begun to think she is
the greatest city in Oregon, outside
OF Portland. When It gets to be
supposed fact that Eugene is larger
than Salem, It is time to enllghten
the people OF Eugene who are de
ceived. That Eugene may be a lit
tie more careful In the future, sa-
lem is going to open her eyes to
the question OF population. That is,
Uncle Sam will clear away any
doubts as to the population of Eu-
gene and Salem, when the census
returns come in.
while a census may be necessary
to settle the question as to which
city has the greatest population.
there can be no dispute over the
commercial value of the two gar
dens' Of the Willamette Valley
Eugene has about five miles OF
street railway system. three hotels
a large number of small mercantile
establishments OF all kinds, paved
streets, a state university pretty de-
pot grounds. sawmill, excelsior fac
tory, moving picture shows, opera
house and a natural railroad center
at Springfield four miles distant.
Eugene runs the city in the in
terest OF her state schools, believing
that dry laws, though depriylng
the city OF heavy revenue, raises the
tone for her school boys. She
closed the saloons when all thoy
needed was some strict regulation
like It is enforced in Salem In ad-
dition TO closed saloons, all moving
picture shows and cigar stores are

Financially, Eugene is taxing
her property owners Sl16 mills on
q 20 per cent valuation, raising this
to a full cash valuation the present
year The city has under way an
extensive municipal electric light
plant system, the ultimate cost Of
which is an open question and the

Now that the extra session Of the
legislature has adjourned, and peo-
pie are settling down to a calmer
criticism of its acts, 1t will be seen
that four very good acts were passed,
namely, the Initiative and referen-
dunn amendment, direct primary
law, . registration bill and . railroad
regulation law. None Of these meas
ures are what the extreme radicals
wanted; and, by the same token,
they are not what the extreme con-
servativss wished. They strike the
happy medium between the two ex-
tremes, and ~ these four measures
are better known, we believe they
will be fully approved BY the people.

Is necessary to give 1t the right to-
conduct the last two years Of Its med
ical course In Denver. The Denver
and Gross College Of Medicine has
signed q contract with the regents Of
the University by which 1t becomes
part Of the medical school Of the
University, next December. The first
two years will be conducted exclu-
sively in Boulder. beginning In Sep
TENDER. Hence all the medical forces
Of the state are united in support Of
the proposed amendment. The Amer
lean Medical association and the Col
orado Medical association both favor
the merging Of the two schools and
the passing Of this amendment. In
1908 the Democratic and the Repub-
lican state conventions unanimously
favored the proposed change.
The fourth amendment to be voted
on concerns the question of ABOLISH
ing the present state land board, and
creating in its stead new board,
consisting Of three commissioners, to
be elected by the people. We believe
the change will be a good one.

vides for the payment Of a salary Of

The Constitutional Amendments

hS AAVu0ukha0h8l
Every qualified voter should read
the constitutional amendments, which
are being printed in The HERALD.
The first one relates to bonding the
state to take up lot of state war
rants. which are now drawing heavy
interest. A large amount of state
school fund money is tied up in those
warrants. The leading men of all
parties favor taking up these war
rants by means Of a bond issue; all
the commercial bodies likewise IA
vor the proposition. We believe the
proposition will be favorably acted
on by the taxpayers. ~
The next is the Initiative and Ref
erendum amendment. There is q
great difference Of opinion relative to
the merits of this radical change in
the matter Of law-making; but it is
apparent that the masses Of the peo-
pie want 1t, and we believe the people
should have what they want. If the
Initiative and Referendum does not
come up to expectations it can be re-
pealed. Vote for 1t and give it fair
trial.
The third amendment is OF such a
meritorious character that there is no
opposition to 1t. In brief, this amend
m ant will give the University of Col
orado authority to hold the last two
years of Its medical and surgical
course in the. city Of Denver. The
constitution of the state locates the
University Of Colorado at Boulder. A
decision Of the supreme court denies
the right Of the university to conduct
any part Of its medical work in Dem
yer, hence constitutional amend
ment is necessary to secure that right.
The last legislature voted to submit
such an amendment. The clinical
years Of medical education can be
given most advantageously In large
city. Other Institutions Of q like ma
ture, situated identically rs the Uni
versity Of Colorado, are now giving
it, last two Year, Of medicine in near
