WOMAN PLEASED
WITH 1.-THE TRAFFIC" LESSON

Salem theatre.gOers who attend the
presentation Of the famous problem
play, "The Traffic" tonight at the
Grand Opera House, will have the priv
ilege Of seeing Mrs. Walter Newman in
the leading role, but they will not have
the pleasure that was given the editor
ial staff of the Journal-of meeting
this charming little woman personally.
Mrs. Newman hs- none of the
"stage" mannerisms or affectations
common to members Of her profession,
but is sweetly feminine and sincere
woman Of culture and high ideals, and
ii was through deep interest and
concern in social uplift work that she
"elected" TO play In "The Traffic"
Mrs. Newman is the daughter of ].
ID. Foltz, who many years ago resided
in Salem. Her mother, Mrs. Clara
Shortridge Foltz, Is an ardent suffra.
gist and did much efficient work in
getting suffrage universally aeknow-
lodged in California.
"The Traffic" was written by Miss
Rachael Marshall, who was educated
at the Sacred Heart academy of New
Orleans. The play is founded on facts
gained from actual happenings in the
federal courts of New York City, and
although II treats a very delicate sub
iect, it is presented in manner that
bears no trace of morbidness or often
sive suggestiveness.
Everywhere it has been presented
1t has met with the consistent appro.
val of press, public and pulpit.
Last night the company played to
a crowded house at Corvallis, among
the audience being Mrs. Crane, precept-
ress Of Waldo Hall, with party com.
posed Of girls from the college. Mrs.
Crane highly recommends the play as
a factor in social uplift and a power.

REPUBLICAN VOTERS
SHOULD BEWARE
Party Should Be Represented
on National Committee
BY a Republican

The Republicans of Oregon are en-
titled 10 have q Republican named as
the National Republican Committee
man from this State. c. w. Ackerson,
who claims to be Republican, is a
candidate. He registered as Progress
sive January s, 1914. Then signed pe;i.
licl Of II. w. Coe TO be Progressive
National Committeeman. Then can
celled his registration as a Progress
sive and registered as a Republican
and Immediately filed his candidacy
for membership on Republican Nation
al Committee. Has been an intimate
and convenient understudy Of the Pro
gressive National Committeeman and
seems now to be in combination with
him in an attempt to shanghai the
Republican organization. His candl-
dacy is being actively backed by par
ties hostile to the Republican party
and having personal interests and pri'
yate personal grudges to serve. His
erratic and excitable tempers ment has
frequently led him to flood the col
umns Of the press with violent attacks
upon the Republican party ami vicious
personal abuse of prominent Republi-
cans and lifelong residents of the
State.
1t is q grave abuse for parties who
are not Republican to register as such.
1t Is a graver abuse for outsiders to
attempt the capture of political par
aty to crafty personal grudge and
to promote party discord. 1t is an
abuse against which fair-mlnded men
of all parties will rise in protest. We
can never have a reunited party by
pushing to the front political hotheads
and men who are political reformers
simply for the sake of office. Having
been a Republican only twenty-four
hours when he announced his candi-
dacy for the highest honorary position
in the gift Of the party, is some indi-
cation of what Mr.. Ackerson's motive
was in registering as Republican.
AS Hon. Ralph E. Williams is the only
Republican who is candidate for
Republican National Committeeman,
we feel warranted in urging all loyal
Republicans in the state to give him
their earnest and enthusiastic support.

FORMER ILLINOIS RESIDENT
GLAD TO ESCAPE CYCLONES

w. s. Cation, who lives near Zena,
was in the city this morning and was
visitor at the journal office. He
told us of terrific cyclone that visit
ed that part of Illinois where he for
merly lived and showed US paper con-
tanning illustrations of the wreck it
left behind it. 1t was described as be-
ing about $50 feet wide, and from indi-
cations was as severe. as that which
wrecked Omaha a year ago. The fact
that it swept through farming dis
trict and did not strike any of the
towns prevented the damage from be-
ing in big figures. AS it was, it runs
up into the five.figure sum. Mr.. Cat.
ton looked the picture moment, and
remarking "0regon suits me" folded
the paper and walked away smiling.

SETS RECORD FOR ACTORS
INVADING UNITED STATES
Appearance in Grumpy" Is a Distinct
Individual Achievement
Says Frohman.
BY Beau Rioalto.

New York, May S.-For the first
time in many, many moons an English
actor has invaded the United States
and been successful the first season.
Prepared to lose $4,000 introducing
Cyril Maude, George Tyler today is far
and away ahead of the game, and the
theatrical game during the past season
and during the season behind the past
one, or that matter, has not been pro-
ductive of many successes. When Cy-
ril Maude, VINO gave such happiness
to so many, in his wonderful produc-
tion of "Grumpy," said goodbye to
the audiences which packed Wallack s.,
some months ago, he was some $4,000
better off than when he reached these
shores six month before.
Maude's success was a most satisfy
ing one. He very nearly set record
for any invading English actor. As
George Tyler and Charles Burnham, of
Wallack's theater, look back over the
books they find this rather astonishing
record; "Grumpy" was played to a
$4,000 house the fist week. During
one week of the six months it played
to a $4,000 house. 1t never fell below
$1,000 for any one week after the
first. Maude's salary is understood to
have been $1,000 a week. Added to
this he received 10 per cent of the
first 10000 receipts and slightly more
than half of all the receipts over that
amount. This brought his salary up
to approximately $4,000 for tae 20
weeks, or $4,000 a week.
But Cyril Maude's success was more
than merely a financial one. 1t was
distinct individual achievement, and
few there are who saw "Grumpy'
who begrudged him penny. The play
"Grumpy," by the way, was two years
on the market before it was produced
Charles Frohman had chance at il
but when he asked j. +. Dodson to
play it, Dodson refused on the ground
that he did not believe his health
would stand up under the strain.
