THEATERS NEXT WEEK

The Blue Bird" whose coming has
been so eagerly awaited by theater-
goers in this country, will open the Be-
lasco Theater season next Monday. This
exquisite fantasy of Maeterlinck comes
direct from the Century Theater, New
York (formerly the New Theater), with
the entire New Theater production,
which ran over a season in New York.
1t is probably the most widely discussed
play of the decade. Wherever 1t has been
played, whether in England, France,
Germany, or Russia, 1t has duplicated the
phenomenal success It has attained in
this country. This fairy tale for grown
ups, which has been called a lovely vision
in acted form, is said to surpass in quaint
humor, poetry, delightful spectacles. and
beautiful scenes any play written in re-
cent years. Into the dramatic structure
of the piece are woven innumerable
dances, with incidental music by De-
busy and Massenet, through which the
symbolism of the piece is made all the
more fascinating. In the cast are Sew
enty-five people, two-thirds of them chill
dren. and ten different scenes will be
presented.

The engagement of John F. COnroy
and Miss Annie Morecroft next week
at the Casino Theater is the direct re-
suit of an engagement only a month
ago that eclipsed in point of attendance
anything that has been known in the
Washington theatrical field. Not until
last week, and this week. with Harden,
the handcuff king, as the headIiner, was
the Casino able, with another produc-
ton, to eclipse the Conroy-Morecroft
week. Thousands of people were turned
away. unable to get inside of the play
house, and poplar demand brought about
a return engagement. Next week it is
anticipated that Conroy and Morecroft
will succeed in regaining their lost lau-
rels, smashing the phenomenal record
that has been made by Harden.
On the same bill with the divers will
be the Gaiety Trio, with their comedy
songs; Bob and Bertha Hyde, in The
Stage-struck Rube;' Rand's musical and
comedy dogs. and Danny Ahearn, the
whistling mimic.

GOVERNMENT BY THE
PEOPLE IN OREGON

Now that the returns are all in,
and the votes on the thirty-two
referendum measures of last No
vember duly counted and weighed,
i, is made clear to the whole coun-
try that Oregon knows its own
mind and is qualified to lead the
nation. wide movement for the res
toration of self-governmens.
The story had travelled through
the country, with much 'accelera-
ton of opinion-making, that di-
rect legislation in the Northwest
was a failure. But not even the
most brazen organ of the machine
and the system" has the etfront-
cry to say that now. The cam
paign of falsehood has given place
to a conspiracy Of silence.
The people of Oregon rejected
by a vote of nearly three to one a
subtle scheme Of the politicians
for the adjustment Of the referen-
dun.
The election OF November 8 es.
tablished beyond al question the
right of the people to name q
United States Senator and compel
the Legislature to elect the people's
nominee.
Thirty-6ve thousand republi.
cans refused to support the repub.
lican machine candidate for sena.
tor, and thereby secured the cleo.
ton Of q democrat with no strings
TO his conscience.
The principle Of genuine direct
nominations, without tue inter
vention of any party committee
was indicated with a rush-the
people declaring by an overwhelm-
ing majority against the halfbreed
kind of direct primaries Chicago

PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE

A national league has been or
ganised ut Washington. Its state
ment Of principles are in substance
as follows:
Popular government in America
has been thwarted and progressive
ave legislation strangled by the
special interests which control
caucuses, delegates, conventions
and party organization, by control
81 the machinery Of government
dictate nominations and platforms
elect legislatures, representatives
in Congress-, and United States
Senators, and control cabinet off,
GERS. Under existing conditions
legislation in the public interest
has been baffled and defeated.
This 10 evidenced by the long
struggle, only partially effective,
to secure laws for the control of
railway rates and services and the
revision Of the tariff in the interes.
OF the producer and the consumer;
statutes dealing with trusts and
combinations, based on sound eco
nomic principles as applied to
modern commercial and Industrial
conditions; 4 wise, comprehensive
and impartial reconstruction OF
the banking and monetary laws;
the conservation OF the coal, Oil,
gas, timber and water powers
and other natural resources be-
longing to the people, and for the
enactment Of all legislation solely
for the common good. Just in
proportion a. popular government
ment has in certain states super
seeded the delegate convention sys-
tenn, and the people have assumed
control OF the machinery of gov
eminent, has government become
responsive to the popular will and
progressive legislation been Sc
cured. The Progressive League
believes that popular government
is fundamental to all other ques-
tons. To this end it advocates:
The election OF United States sena-
tors BY direct vote OF the people
direct primaries for the nominal
ton OF all elective officials; the
derect election OF delegates to
national conventions with oppor-
tunity for the voter to express his
choice for president and vice.

stitutions providing for the Initia-

A SURGEONS CONFESSION

A friend sends us the press re-
ports of a notable declaration by
one of Americas greatest sur
geons, recently made before one
hundred. members of the North
western Medical Society. In this
address the eminent DR.. John B.
Beaver charged that surgeons were
filling graveyards by unnecessary
use Of the knife. The press re-
ports DR.. Deaver az say ing:
"A medical student fills a grave
yard before he becomes surgeon,
and l have filled several and don't
call myself a surgeon yet. But I
have found by long experience that
many cases of appendicitis and
gall stones do not need the use OF
tho knife at all, and many cases of
appendicitis need very little or no
drugs at the outset. In cases
where l do operate, l often find
the case is only begun after the
operation, and l spend nights in
worry after many operations.
''Out Of over three hundred cases
Of appendicitis at the German Hos
pital during the last few months
there have been only six deaths.
This 10 due not 20 much to skill
full operating rs to care in avoid
ing the use of the knife"
Hero 10 testimony from one Of
Americas greatest surgeons, a man
who ranks with DR.. Agnew. The
contention Of those who oppose
turning the people over to the
tender mercies Of the old school.
and who have long claimed that
numbers are yearly slain by the
doctors knives who otherwise
would live to enjoy old age, is true.
The doctors are being enriched,
the graveyards are being fattened,
but the homes of the people are
paying q terrible tribute.-Twen.
