DUSTIN FARNUM AT LOEW'S.
In Feature Photoplay Called Par
son of Panamint."

Dustin Farnum in THE Parson of PAN
amint" is the feature photoplay at
Loew's Columbia for the first half Of
this week. 1t may be confidently as
serted that it is some time since picture
patrons have been offered a film pro-
duCtion so thoroughly good in all re-
speCts. It is very human story. easily
followed and interesting; the atmosphere
of Western frontier town has been
caught to perfection, the characters be-
ing deity drawn and in the leading role
that of a parson typifying muscular
Christianity. Dustin Farnum has the best
vehicle of his screen career.
When the story opens there is nothing
left of Panamint but heaps of rubbish.
the remains of what was once a thriv-
ing town. Old "ChuCkwalla Bill tells
the tale of the rise and fall of the COM
munity-how when he was elected mayor
on platform calling for a church. a
schoolhouse and jail. he went to San
Francisco in search of a parson and re-
turned with Philip Pharo, and how the
hard-hitting preacher proceeded to in
troduce practical Christianity in Pana-
mint
The fire scene in which Dustin Farnum
climbs to the belfry of a burning church
is highly spectacular; but the real ap-
peal of the picture lies in the sound
characterization and the adroit mingling
of pathos, drama and comedy

created by this administration is unjust and in
defensible. The psychological effect will be to
discount in advance the standing of the commits
sion and belittle its work. To attempt to justify
this cut from $4,000 to $500 on the plea that
this is all the members of Congress are paid is
inane and pointless. No member of either House
would admit he was serving for the salary.
The tariff commission is man's-size job,
it calls for the best talent available and the
public is ready to pay the bill. The Republi-
cans should aid in restoring this measure and not
content themselves by throwing monkey wrenches
into the machinery

The Tariff Commission.

congress is finishing notable session Within
the next day two it will dispose OF the reve-
nue. bill that carries with it the Rainev tariff
commission measure. All parties are fully COM
united to this feature for which there has been
and there is nsistent and countrywide de-
mand. The Rainey bill as it was reported by
the Ways and Means Committee fully and fairly
met the need Of the government and the de-
mandS OF the people. 1t carried with the ap-
proval Of the President, OF the general public.
and practically the entire press a permanent
appropriation Of 100000, one that by the terms
OF the bill would automatically go on from year
to year until changed by all act of Congress.
Hence IN all discussion of this body the word
permanent attaches. When we recall the expert
ence OF the Civil Service Commission in its early
career. how it badgered and mauled about
and its appropriation held up and its life made
a burden by political pressure coming from all
sides, the need of protecting the tariff commits
sion with a permanent appropriation is apparent
There can be no doubt that the country
wants tariff commission Of the highest rank
and as well paid certainly as other commissions
1t looks to the President and the Democratic
party to fully and fairly meet the obligation. To
diScredtt and denote this body in creating it

AFTER-DINNER POLITICS
Some Mid-Century Representatives.
BY DIR. Il. J. EDWARDS.

1T is always interesting when new
Congress meets and the members are
sworn in TO take notice Of new members.
for II sometimes happens that state will
send four or five new members unknown
70 the country al large who have con-
spicious and sometimes eccentric or pecu-
liar careers before them"
This remark was made TO me by the
late Judge Noah Davis, who was for
many years a close political observer.
When he took his seat in Congress in the
late sixties, he locked about him so that
ne might discover, IL possible, the promise
Of great careers IN some OF the new mem
Ders who begun their first service in Con-
gress at the time he did.
Il think the most eXtrao rdinary group
ever sent by a single State TO the lower
house OF Congress was the one which in
part represented New York State in the
House of Representatives at the beginning
Of the Congress that NETT In December.
1858, he continued. only one of these
men had gained any reputation outside
his home district. That one was Gerrit
Smith, widely know as a philanthropist
somewhat curiously observed because he
was esteemed. the richest man in New
York State outside the city OF New York.
The Troy district sent a young man
who was to be satisfied with one term
in Congress. Neither in appearance
nor in anything that no accomplish ed
did he attract any attention. And yet
he was to gain nationwide nOtoriety.
at least, as an example OF the capacity
OF ability and great thrift to accUmu-
late one of the great American for
tunes. / refer. of course. to Russell
Sage, and l presume there are very
few people who know that this multi
millionaire when a young man OF little
or no means served a term in the
lower house Of Congress
There was another new member
among New York representatives. in
the Congress that begun in December
1853. He represented the district in
the southwestern part OF New York.
He was not known outside of the
State. He made little or no impress
sion in the house because he was a
man of very quiet ways, not at all
aggressive, at least while in Congress
But afterward he was to be elected
governor OF New York and then to be
chosen United States Senator from
New York and again for a time COM
handing interest in American poll
tics In that State He was Reuben z
Fenton.
New York City sent two men who
were real types of rought-and-ready po-
litical life. One of them afterward gained
notoriety as a malefactor, and while /
was sitting as judge he was tried be-
fore me, found guilty and sentenced TO
the penitentary. He was William N.
Tweed. The east side of New York
city sent a rough diamond to Congress
A man of great personal aggressiveness
and force, a very effective speaker of
the rough-and-ready kind and for years
a bitter opponent of Tammany Hall-Mike
Walsh. Curiously enough. when Cart
baldi was living on Staten Island he be-
came much interested in Walsh and en-
tertained him at his home many times,
Both Tweed and Walsh were usually
bsent from their seats"

Vance Mccormick says: when / was a
candidate for governor of Pennsylvania Teddy
indorsed me and came through PENNSYLVANIA
whooping it up for me, and they made great
fuss about HIM l wasn't elected That shows
Just how strong his influence with the voters is"
Mr.. Mccormick then asserts that RooseveIt's
speech in Maine will be of little aid for Hughes
Perhaps that Pennsylvania campaign would have
resulted differently if Mr. Hughes had been
candidate for governor instead Of Nj Nc

A. 0. H. INSTALL OFFICERS

The installation of the A. O. H. Of
ficers for 1916 was the occasion of
one of those gatherings which serve
to drive dull care away, and make life
better and brighter The officers were
installed in the afternoon and in the
evening a merry crowd of Hibernians
and their friends assembled in the
banquet room of the Odd Fellows
building and proceeded to do full JUS
tice to the many good things provid-
ed by the fair ladies who had charge
of the culinary arrangements. After
the inner man had been satisfied, all
trooped out to the hall and made the
welkin ring with music and song.
Vocal and instrumental solos and rec
itations succeeded in making the
hours pass so quickly that the chair
man, on looking at his watch, could
hardly believe that five hours had
nearly gone by. The crowd realizing
that it was time to make an exit,
with ferver sang 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner, God Save Ireland and A Ma
tion Once Again" and then departed,
we'll satisfied that 1915 had been so
pleasantly begun.

OREGON IRRIGATION
CONGRESS A SUCCESS

The session of the Oregon Irriga-
ton Congress held at Portland last
week was one of the best since the
organization of the congress. Nor
row county was represented by Jos.
Hayes, Andy Rood and S. E. Notson.
The congress was unanimous in its
Endorsement of the Jones Bill, now
before Congress. This bill provides
for the guaranty of interest on irri-
cation district bonds, by the general
government. If the bill should pass,
it will enable any meritorious project
to finance itself. The congress also
passed a resolution fayoring the same
kind of guaranty by the state. The
general government and the state
would be perfectly safe, as the entire
property of the project would be Ii
able, and everything in the way Of
development would add to its value.
'-he money would be spent on the
project, and this would come as near
ly to the "eating of your cake and
still having it" as can be devised. The
plan proposed is to provide in the
bonds enough funds to cover the in
'terest the first four years; four per
cent would be charged until the end
of forty years; at which time the ad-
ditional two per cent would extin-
guish the bonds.
After hearing the report upon the
possibilities of irrigation in Morrow
county, one of the government en-
gineers said that the land subject to
irrigation in this county, consider
ing amount, quality of soil, climate,
elevation, nearness to market, and
quality of products constitutes the
best proposition in the whole West
and that it had not received proper
attention.

BIG RABBIT DRIVE ].
At EWING SUNDAY

Arrangements are being made by
the O-W. R. & N. Company to ac-
comodate the several hundred people
who will participate in the big rabbit
drive at the Ewing station below
Cecil next Sunday.
Special rates have been made by
the railroad company and the round
trip from Heppner can be made for
S1.4O. From Lexington and lone the
roundtrip fare will be $1.O0. An ex-
ira coach will be placed in service to
take care of the crowd of drivers.
The drive will begin as soon as the
train arrives at Ewing. Farmers in
that vicinity have charge of the ar
rangements. 1t is reported that rab-
bits have become such pest on low
er Willow creek that they are proving
serious menace to farmers there. 1t
has been necessary to build fences of
wir netting around the hay stacks to
prevent total destruction by the rab-
bits.
