THE HOUSE
NEXT DOOR
WAS GREAT
ONE OF THE FINEST THINGS
EVER PRESENTED ON A SA-
LEM STAGE, AND BY ONE OF
THE STRONGEST COMPANIES.

THE House Next Door was the
play at the Grand last night, the
horse editor came near saying the
attraction" 1t was not that for
the audience was not there.
The play is a fine one, full of hu-
man interest from curtain to curtain,
beautifully told by the author and
magnificently presented by the com
pany. 1t was ore Of the best, If not
the best, and most artistically acted
comedies ever presented on a Salem
stage. The company was well bal
anced, there being no weak links in
the chain.
william V. Mong, az Sir John
Cotswold, an irascible and tyrannical
old nobleman, with an oyerwening
pride Of caste, was magnificent, and
George Dayton, as Sir Isaac Jacob
son, Jew but recently raised to the
peerage was grand. In five minutes
after the curtain raised, the audience
was not watching a play, it was see
ing, feeling, living the ctual'events.
But what's the use?
Mr.. Waters deserves credit for the
splendid class Of plays and amuse-
ments he Is bringing here. He de-
serves more than credi,-cash and
patronage.
II Is not The Journals prerogative
10 dictate to Salem people what they
should do, or develop into a scold--
but the horse editor simply re-
marks that If Salem expects first
class entertainments in the theatrical
line, It must patronize the theatre
when good companies ara brought
here That's all there Is to It. A
good play and a strong company
turned down Is soon known through
the theatrical world, and such COM
pan'es will not book for Salem.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 10.-"When a
community undertakes to procure the
impeachment of an irresponsible. ar
bitrary and unfit federal Judge and
its public leaders are placed under
arrest and thrown into jail, what be-
comes of the impeachment remedy?"
This is the question asked of Pres
ident Taft in petition presented to
him at the Washington hotel this
morning by a committee of women,
headed by Mrs. Peter Bettinges. The
petition is signed by several thou
sand names and calls upon the pres
ident to give public expression of his
answer during his visit to this state.
The petition follows:
ITO His Excellency, The President of
the United States:
I'm a recent public address you are
quoted as having said that impeach-
ment and not the recall is the better
remedy to remove unjust judges
from the public service. Accepting
this suggestion we, the undersigned,
beg to submit, in brief, the following
statement of facts:

mass meeting of five thousand people

that the document was forged, and
placed handwriting experts on the
stand to prove it.

When Governor West today Issued
a proclamation designating Colum-
bus Day as a holiday he solved a
question which has been going the
rounds of the sEeet unanswered for
some time-the question as to wheth
er it was a legal holiday-and upon
which Acknowledgement Crawford
and Justice. Moore. of the supreme
court, till the issuance of the proc
lamation, were hoDelessly divided.
The Generals View.
The statute passed by the last leg
islature designating October 10, as
a holiday and mining it as Columbus
Day, declares it public holiday" :"
Finding that it was not enumerated
among the non-judlcial days of the
state, and interpreting the word pub
lie to have different meaning than
that of legal, the encouragement
held that it was not a legal holiday
and that the courts would not be
closed to litigInts. He contended
however, that as the section naming
the non-judicial days declared that
any day appointed or proclaimed by
the governor should be non-judi-
cial day that the issuance of a proc
lamation by him would make It a
legal holiday and non-judlcial day
Justice Moores' Views.
Justice Moore maintained that the
naming Of holidays was vested in the
president, the governor and the leg
islature, and that the fact that the
legislature had Set apart October 12,
as Columbus Day as a holiday made
it a nonejudicial day, no matter If
the word public was used instead Of
the word legal, and even though It
was not enumerated among the non
judicial days.
Governor West Steps In.

he has a faculty for doing that

The meeting was orderly through
out, but for participating in its pro-
ceedings, nine of our citizens were
arrested and placed under heavy
bonds to answer an Indictment by
the federal grand jury at Tacoma
upon the felonious charge of Con
spring to defeat the administration
of Justice"
Subsequently, in the last days of
September, the federal grand jury at
Tacoma, after thorough investigation
declined to find indictments against
the said arrested men, presumably
for the reason that their arrests had
been unwarranted.
I'VE submit to you, Mr.. President,
that if such conditions as these are
to prevail, the right to impeach an
Objectionable Judge cannot be exer-
cised without the danger of arrest
and oppression to those who partici-
pate therein by prosecutions set on
foot by those in sympathy with the
judge against whom the proceedings
are directed.
In view of this situation, we re-
spectfully ask you to investigate the
situation and to make a public ex-
preston during your visit here on
your views upon the arrest of these
citizens.
