SOCIALISM IN BRITISH NAVY
Measures Toward Checking Its Spread

London. May 16-Alarmed by re- ports of the spread of Socialism in the English navy, Conservative mem- bers of the House of Commons intend to bring the matter up in Parliament shortly. Unless Secretary of the Navy McKenna is able to satisfy them that accounts of the movements growth are much exaggerated, they will make a strong effort to secure steps toward checking it-though just how this is to be done is not clear.
 The present excitement is directly due to a recent article in the So- ciaIist newspaper Justice" in which if was stated that the paper is sounding its correspondents in the navy "occa- sional parcels of leaflets and pam- phlet for free distribution and will be glad to receive and forward anything of the kind which may be sent us for that purpose. AS may be un- derstood. considerable care has to be exercised in carrying on such work. and naturally we cannot give our correspondents names Or addresses.
 It is perhaps needless to say that because the men are becoming more intelligent through more initiative them. they find the feudalism of the service all the more revolting. In a service journal recently there appear ed an article referring to the spread of Socialism under the title of The Canker of the Services.

Ruskin's Road at Oxford
From the Autocar.

From the AutocdT.
 A melancholy memorial of the public spirited kind of road making is a lane branching off the Seven Bridges road from Oxford. It is called Ruskin's road and was the scene of a ludicrous ex- pertinent made at the instigation of the sage.
 When he was at Oxford he persis- tently urged that all power should have fruitful results and in the end 50 i'm. pressed some of his friends that they determined to expend on vile by-way leading from the Seven Bridges road toward Hinksey Ferry the energy that they had till then dissipated on cricket, tennis and the like. Delighted with this resolve, Ruskin, after bestowing on them the benediction, purchased picks and shovels and as further prelim- mary took lessons in the art or mystery of stone breaking--an art which, how ever, he never personally practiced The undergraduates constructed" their road of dirt without any foundation whatever and 1t has for some years now been . mere track.

parts, and those may be considered
as parts Of one whole, or as so many
distinct contracts, entered into at
one time and expressed in the same
instrument, but not thereby made
one contract No precise rule can be
given by which this question in a
given case may be settled Like
most other questions Of construction,
it depends to some extent upon the
intention of the parties, and this must
be discovered in each case by consid-
ering the language employed and the
subject matter of the contract d"
Getting Pars. on Con, SID.
In Tenny V. Mulyaney, Or, 1923,
where the contract provided for the
cutting and delivery at Mulvaney's
mill of one million feet of merchant
able logs within year, at S4,25 per
thousand feet, to be scaled and re-
ceived as every 100000 feet were
placed in certain creek, it will be
noticed that the contract required set
tlement upon the delivery of each
100000 feet, concerning which Justice
Prim states "As to whether this
contract is entire or severable is a
question of construction, which de-
pends upon the intention of the par
ties, to be ascertained from the Ian
guage employed and the subject-mat-
ter of the contract. If the part to be
performed by one party consists of
several distinct and separate items,
and the price to be paid by the other
is apportioned to each item to be
performed, or is left to be implied by
law, such a contract will generally
be held to be severable."
While in Oliver V. Oregon Sugar
Co., AZ Or. 276, we note Justice Bean
says: "The beets were to be paid
for by the ton, and when the guam
titly delivered by either of the classes
of cars specified was ascertained the
contract was thereby so far per-
formed that the rights and obliga-
tions of the parties with reference to
such car loads were fully fixed and
established Whether a contract is
entire or severable is a question of
construction, depending upon the in
tention of the parties, to be ascer-
tanned and determined from the Ian
guage employed, the subject-matter,
and the surrounding circumstances.
And in Longfellow v. Huffman, 1O4
Pac., 961, wherein the contract is
similar to the one at bar, Chief JUS
tice Moore, in disposing of the ques-
tioH, remarks: "The trial court evil

The contract sued on was entire, and
that the plaintiffs failure to tender

SEAT SALE
BREAKING
RECORDS
IN SPITE OF HIGH PRICES EVERY
SEAT IN THE GRAND WILL BE
FILLED WHEN MADAM SHER-
RY COMES TOMORRO WNIGHT.

The coming of Madam Sherry is
an event-the event in social circles.
1t is a class of entertainment sell
dom seen outside Of the larger cities,
and that Salem appreciates 1t is
shown by the phenomenal sale of
seats, that really began before it
started, for there were those who in
sisted on getting seats. even in ad-
vance of the opening this morning.
The ticket Office was a busy place
this morning, and it is safe to say
that there will not be vacant seat
in the big opera house tomorrow
night when the curtain goes up on
the finest comic opera and the best
company that ever appeared in Sa-
lem.
Many theater parties have been
arranged, and the main topic of con-
versation in Salem homes is Madam
Sherry.
AS pointer in this line, note the
following communication, which
shows that the desire to see Madam
Sherry is shared by everybody:
II the management of the Mad
anne Sherry production would remem
ber that many educated and refined
people are debarred the pleasure Of
hearing their melodies for the rea-
son that admission to the opera
house is far beyond their means,
possibly some arrangement might be
made by which families and individ-
uals whose incomes would not per-
NIT $500 tickets could have the
pleasure of occupying seats at this
wonderful musical comedy. The very
few $3.50 places are quite made
quate for accommodation of the
many that want them, but there is no
doubt when the curtain raises there
will be vacant places in the body Of
the house that might not have been
there If four or five, instead of two
back rows had been reserved for the
poor in purse.

bound to do anything except as re-
quired by the terms of the contract.
The market value of the hops on Oct
ober Is, 1908, the date of the alleged
breach of the contract, was admitted
by defendants answer to be 7 cents
per pound. Again quoting from Ka-
dish v. Young, supra: Nothing would
seem to be palmer than that while
the contract is still subsisting and
unbroken, the parties can only be
compelled to do that which its terms
require"
All other errors deemed of impor-
tance were settled in the former ac-
tions referred to.
The judgment of the lower court is
affirmed.
Mr.. Justice Burnett took no part in
the consideration of this case.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-04-07

This court, however, is committed to
different rule announced by Mr..
Justice Prim in Tenny v. Mulvaney,
8 Or, 129, 1S7." See also Barnes ".
Leidigh, 46 Or, 4S. The ruling in the
case Of Longfellow v. Huffman, su-
pra, is decisive of the question raised
by defendants, as to the failure of
plaintiff to offer to deliver hops of the
crop Of 1906.
The bare fact that two causes Of
action spring out of the same con-
tract does not ipso facto render a
judgment on one a bar to a suit on
another. Perry v. Dickerson, So N.
Y, S45. Various tests have been
suggested for determining whether
the Judgment recovered in one action
is bar to subsequent action.
The principle consideration is whe-
ther it be precisely the same cause
Of action in both .. And one
great criterion of this identity is
that the same. evidence will maintain
both actions" Kitchen v. Campbell,
2 w. b., S27. "It is not a test of the
right of a plaintiff to maintain sep
arate actions that all the claims
might have been prosecuted in sin
gle action" Perry V. Dickerson, su-
pra. Application of the rule does not
depend upon any technical consider
alton of the identity of the form of
action, but upon matter of substance.
Brunsden V. Humphrey, IA @. B. Div,

quired in the pleading and different
evidence on the hearing, the cause of
action is not split" Stark " Starr,
"a U. S. 447, 4S5. To the same effect
see, Gentry " Pacific L. Co., As Or.
293; LaFollett V. Mitchell, 43 Or.
465. The stipulation as to the sale of
the crop of hops of 1908 in the con-
tract sued upon, is in the nature of
a several contract, and the former
judgment is not a bar to this action
AS to the measure of damages, in
ordinary cases of contract of sale of
personal property for future deliv-
cry, when the purchaser fails to re-
ceive and pay therefor, the measure
of damages is the difference between
tn contract price and the market or
current value of the property at the
time and place of delivery, and no.
tice from the buyer to the seller, be-
fore the day of delivery, that he will
not receive the property, does not
affect this rule, unless the seller upon
receiving such notice shall elect to
then terminate the contract. Kadish
