SALEM DELIGHTED
WITH AFRICANDERS
fFrom the StatesmaD)

Any Salemite or visitor afflicted with
pessimism or an irritating crouch
should take a short time off and drop
around to the Grand opera house this
week. 1t would be advisable, however,
to remember safety first" by hitching
up belts few notches, and when you
take your seat be sure to get good
hand hold on your Adams Apple, as
Reese Brothers Africanders, a colored
troupe of Is people. who are furnishing
fun and hilarity at the Grand are GER
tainly ticklish propositions. In short,
they guarantee to coax laugh from
even the theatre managers, and it is
claimed that undertakers fight shy of
the show for the reason it is impossible
for them to maintain the proper burial
front after spending a night with these
funny folks.
In all seriousness. the Reese Broth
ers' players are notably superior to any
talent of that character ever playing
in Salem. The old humdrum jokes and
depleted minstrel comics are conspicu-
ous for their absence in this show, and
each member of the company is an
artist in the circles of goth century en-
tertainers. Arthur Reese. an amusing
conversationalist. is one of the most
characteristic members of the COM
pany, while Florence Blue, Marie
Bailey and Jessie Reese are blessed
with beautiful voices, and their efforts
are those of players who are sincerely
desirous of pleasing their audiences.
Joke Murray is dancer extraordin-
ary. His antics are mirth provoking
while at the same time he is fully cap
able of some amazing foot work.
AS an illustration of the fine public
spirit which must be accredited to
these people, Reese Brothers yesterday
kindly offered the free assistance of
their entire musical organization to the
people who welcomed Company M
home from Clackamas. From some
unaccountable reason those to whom
this offer wassmade failed to put in an
appearance at the appointed time, and
consequently the military lads were
not escorted to the city from the train
by band. The managers of the band
stated last evening that they would
have been proud to show homage to the
soldiers yesterday, and hoped that it
may be their pleasure to entertain the
boys before the week is gone.

MANILA CONDITIONS
BAD, MRS. EDGAR

Since the policies of the Wilson ad-
ministration were put into effect in the
Philippine Islands civic, social, sani-
tary and political conditions have been
retrograding. is the message that Mrs.
j. r. Edgar, who arrived Friday with
two little daught, rs, Norma and Louise,
from Manila, brings to Hood River.
Mrs. Edgar and children were met at
Astoria by Mr.. Edgar.
'For a time American leadership
was the stimulus that caused progress
and development in the Islands, says
Mrs. Edgar. ''but the policy of the
Democratic administration has killed
all initiative among Americans in Man
lila. In fact Americans, except in some
few instances where investors are
hanging on and catering to the wants
OF the natives, have closed out their
holdings in the Islands and have gotten
out. With natives practically at the
helm of affairs again. things are re-
verting to semblance of old days.
Health conditions are becoming worse,
and numerous cases of cholera have
prevailed in the past year. American
civil service employees by the Retire.
ment bill of June have been retired
from the Island"
Mrs. Edgar says that it is the hope
of practically the entire American pop
ulation in the Philippine Islands that a
change will take place in the admins
tration; for it is there the unanimous
verdict that the natives are far from
being capable of conducting their own
governmental affairs. 1t is but a aues-
tion of time, she says, before Manila
will get back to the unwholesome days
of the period before American enter
prise cleaned up the city and made of
1t safe place for residence.
Mr.. Edgar, leaving Mrs. Edgar in
Manila to settle up business affairs,
came here and purchased an orchard
place last year. After a short stay
here Mrs. Edgsr will leave for Missouri
to visit relatives during the holidays.

MRS. BLOWERS TELLS
OF IDEAL OUTING

The following article, written by
Mrs. Bertha Miff1in Blowers, recently
appeared in the Oregonian:
If you are contemplating an outing
for yourself and family in your car
during September. when the sky is
clear and blue and the leaves on vine
and bush are turning red and yellow, q
trip that will be full of interest and
pleasure, leave Portland early some
morning for trip over the Columbis
Highway to Hood River.
First of all. you should see that
brakes are in good condition, cylinders
cleaned, the car is well oiled also, that
you have an extra tire or two, from q
''safety-irst" standpoint. You should
make frequent stops at Ithe several
falls, drink the pure water. from many
mountain springs, and if you are q
lover of the rod, you can have the
pleasure of trout fishing from many
streams along the way. Note the
beautiful camping sites as you pass
through the national forest, with its
interesting scenic attractions. The
paving has been completed from Port
land to the Hood River county line, sc
now the motorist has a continuous span
of pavement for 45 miles. The road
from the county line to Hood River is
little rough; still. if you take it mod.
erately, you will have a delightful
drive.
Every turn in the highway brings
some charming scene. feel sure that
Hood River will interest anyone CON-
ing this way. 1t is beautiful town,
built among grand old oaks; it has
many fine business blocks, well paved
streets, fine churches and handsome
homes; also two modern hotels. After
seeing the town you should motor out
through the Hood River valley and see
our beautiful orchard homes and trees
loaded with handsome red apples, the
kind that have become known the world
over. The grand view of Mount Hood
from the valley is worth taking the
trip to see.
After seeing our valley, you should
cross the Columbia river and motor
through the White Salmon valley to
Trout Lake. A first class auto ferry
is maintained from Hood River to
White Salmon, and if you would leave
Hood River some morning by O'Clock
you could make the run to Trout Lake
and back in one day and have plenty of
time for picnic dinner and for side
trips to the famous ice and lava caves.
If, OIL leaving the ferry, you take
the road going east, you will pass the
Jewett Farm resort. and through the
town of White Salomn. over the maca-
damized Wood View Rad, from which
a grand view of the entire Hood River
valley, Mount Hood and down the Co.
lumbia gorge will be had.
Trout Lake is rs miles from White
Salmon, and the motorist will find the
roads in good condition.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, Presi-
dent OF the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. has issued TO
every delegate elected to the national
conventions Of the Democratic. Repub-
lican and Progressive parties strong
appeal for a woman suffrage plank i'm

To the Democratic delegates. Mrs

President Wilson. William j. Bryan.
Speaker Clark. Secreary of War New
ton ID. Baker. Secretary OF the Treas
ury William G. McAdoo Secretary OF
Commerce William G.. Redheld. and

The Progressive delegates are urged
to reaihrm their declaration OF 1912

appeal by sending TO delegates of all
parties the following historical facts
relating TO equal suffrage.

to complete regularity when the
party split on the slavery issue. Four
years ago Champ Clark had a ma
Jority i'm the Baltimore convention
and was deprived Of the nomination
because he could not muster two
thirds. an achievement that subse-

With not enough of a row in sight
to bolster the hopes Of st. Louis hotel
men that the convention can be held
here for the three days promised by
the National Committee that raised
the 100000 convention fund. the far

possibility Of slipping the obnoxious
precedent into the discard.
The spokesman for the movement has
not been named publicly. That stiff op
position will be aroused is considered a
certainty, particularly in the Southern
DELEGATIONS. The row that starts instant
