SOMETHING NOT DOWN ON THE PROGRAM.

There are many people who crticise the stage unJus
There are PLAYS which preach sermons that leave ast-
ING impression for good Others so bad that you Won
der why respectable people go to theand yet after
all the stage is what the public makes it. Sentiment is
constantly being tested out and those plays which draw
the crowds are the ones that hold the boards longest
Some there are who contend that the stage one OF the
trinity for good the pulpit the press and the stage and an
exchange tells of an incident which occurred back East
recently that strengthens this view. Something hap
pened there at a minstrel performance which was not
down on the program AL G. Fields company was show
ing in Alton and when the performance had gone on
short time Field and announced that the hour OF the
funeral of "Honey Boy Evans at Streaor having arrived
the performance would be suspended for brief religious
service with the consent of the audience Silence gave
consent Then the service began with the company sing
ing Nearer My God to Thee only company OF good
singers can render it, Field made short address, paying
tribute to friend of the stage who in life had made merry
for thousands and minute set apart for silent pray
er in which the audience asked to join Then the COM
pany turned again to the program the audience to appre
citation in bursts of laughter.
You say it was sacriegous, not in good taste. You
don't know and besides you're not the Judge OF what's IN
the hearts of men, least of all at time when friend is
taken You can't understand how minstrel troupe could
pause for the serious and an audience would cease laugh
ter for short service in memory of the departed Then
YOU fail to understand human nature that can shed tears
in ioy and laugh in sorrow. The paradoXes in human
actions are beyond understanding and it's blessed good
thing they are 1t is enough to know that sympathy in
time of bereavment makes the whole world kin.

A resident of Portland calls attention to the fact,
through the Evening Telegram that Portland is paying
the highest telephone rate of any city of the class in
the country He gives official figures to bear out his state
ment In this connection it might be stated that the tee
phone trust has cnch of the entire country at present
and is gathering in net dividends the amount Of
capital actually invested than any other corporation
operating in this country Every city and town and many
rural districts are paying tribute to this monopoly and
rates. instead of being reduced the volume Of business
increases raised steadily in every community Salem
is paying double for its telephone service what it ought to
and nearly every other Oregon city is doing the same The
more telephones the company nsas the higher charges
each patron for service when there should by all rules
business logic, be gradual reduction in the rate.
