BIG SUCCESS.
Did Virginia Minstrels Make Hit With
 Monster Audience.

The Old Virginia Minstrels, a colored aggi egation of fun-making people travelling in their two well kept cars, gave performance in their canvas theatre here last Friday night that more than surpassed any colored minstrel show ever in Roseburg. The fun was clean, fast and snappy and came over the footlights in a steady stream. The parade was neat and clean and the band rendered music that was more than pleasing to hear. Judging from the crowd that sur rounded the band during their noon and evening concerts one would be- lieve that it was just what it vas good music. A dusky clown with "Old Virginia Bound" on an old suit case, riding donkey made hit with the older folks as well as the youngsters who viewed the parade. Taking it all in all the parade and the show was far above the average for tent shows.-Evening News, Rose- burg, Oregon.

MEN FOR SERVICE.

The way in which the examiners
discover detectives among@ old mill
tiamen and raw recruits in this coun-
try shows that the supply of smen is
abundant and the necessity for them
not intense. How glad any of the
battling countries would be of the
men for defence which American ex-
aminers rule out.
An English authority is quoted as
having said recently with reference
to men for defence: when a man is
not fit for active service he is mark
ed for garrison duty so long as. he
has got legs at all. I am not sure
that legs are necessary, even
There are few physically perfect
individuals in this or any other land;
and the military strictness in a meas
ure has become ridiculous. When
men are in great demand for fighting
their looks and slight physical defects
do not count.
The style Of an army is worth
something, but there was no style to
the army which won Americas indie
pendence, for that was mostly made
up of ragamuflns and purpose.

Mr.. Editor:-In order to help make
the majority Of Charles Evans Hughes
as large as possible I shall on and
after this date devote a set time each
day to directing and mailing copies of
the great speech of Charles Evans
Hughes the next president; also, first
class literature along protective tariff,
woman suffrage, and American Amer
icanism lines, and would be pleased
to send every independent, every dem
ocrat every progressive and socialist
in the Second Congressional district
an abundant supply from time to time.
The first lot will soon be ready.
Just pay one cent for a postal card,
put as many addresses as possible on
that card. and perhaps, your one cent
may be the means of making one
more majority against Woodrow VIII
son and his fool policies.
Tt was one majority 1876 to 1874 that
made Hayes president. Don't forget
that.
While no one doubts the result, it
will not do TO go to sleep with great

THE AUTOMOBILES EFFECT UP
ON THE CHURCH.

The automobile lessons church at
tendance as well as patronage to rail-
way and trolley lines. It makes the
congregations thin here IN New Eng
land, and in parts of the west makes
many rural churches useless.
For instance, there have been 500
rural churches in Kansas abandoned
the past five years.
The Detroit Free Press says it
would not be right to charge
this up to the degeneration of
the people, for at may mean only
that the Kansans are putting their
automobiles to the useful work of con-
solidating congregations, and church.
goers travelling further to their wor-
ship and joining with q hundred or
two communicates where once they
gathered with q score"
Where there is q church to support
to every 200 or 800 of the population
sectarian fences are too thick and
Christian brotherhood too weak to
make a decent appearance. It is a
noteworthy evidence of the growth OF
religion of late that a multiplicity of
churches has been abandoned and
unity and peace found under the ban
ner of Christ.
What looks like degeneration may
prove to be the result of wisdom-in
fuller and more complete acceptance
of the spirit of the Saviour.

Hughes because Of ardor and sin
cerity is a campign speaker who ranks
with Roosevelt and like him makes
deep and lasting impressions.
We have to confess that Wilson and
Bryan are artists at pretty words and
poetic figures, but their concept of
government and -Americanism is not
up to the true standard.
The man who pictured Wilson's
foreign policy as waiting. watching,
webbing and then withdrawing, &"
made a true draft of his way Of do
ing things-a method lily fitted to the
crises his administration has had to
pass through in the past two years.
The American people desire peace,
and also the protected industries
which keep our goods and our money
at home.
Candidate Hughes stands for Anre-
lean law, American rights on land
and sea, and American markets for
American goods; and no renegades can
get past him.

Not So Very Common.

Mr.. Editor: 1 presume the rc@E ?
monthly meeting of the court OF ~
mon council will be held toni&ht 2.
the matter of traffic will come W =
a hearing. Mr. Editor, would it not
be well for our city fathers to con
slider that nine-tenths of the people
are the common people" who sup. 1T
our merchants, not the one-tenth who
have always sent for samples and buy
out of town, that nine-tenths of the
people are the common people that
use the trOlleys, and want to get on
and off the cars safely.
It is ne-tenthS OF the people who
are "the common people" that want to
use our streets and sidewalks without
fear of losing life or limb.
It is uine-tenths of the people who
are the common people that furnish
the victims who are run over In our
streets by automobiles.
It is nine-tenths of the people who
are the common people who pay
nine enths of the bills for running
our city.
It is up to you, Mr. Mayor, and the
court of common council to see their
interests are protected, even if they
are called by some very common"
Mr.. Mayor, never mind the political
threats. You and your committees
are doing just the right thing by en-
forcing the traffic law; and '"the COM
mon" and the very common people"
will bless you and keep you on the
job as long as you want to stay.
You come the%nearest to being q
real mayor the city government of
Norwich has had in a decade. If you
keep on as you have started you will
have the gratitude of the common
people Lincoln loved so well. Stick to
your text and you will make Norwich
a city somewhere like other cities
and when the stranger comes within
Il md
traffic regulations he will not think
our principal streets are garages and
our sidewalks beer kegs, popcorn,
peanut and furniture factories bnd
fruit stands. but. that we are an up to
date and progressive city.
Ho for the traffic laws and the ones
that are enforcing them"

would have you believe.

THE OPEN NEWSPAPER COL
UMNS.


The people are a factor in all dis
putes which In any way effect the
public interests, hence, of late, when
there have been issues Of this kind
the great corporations have notably
used the advertising columns Of the
press to keep the people informed.
The Brooklyn Eagle cites the fol-
lowing cases:
THE Bethlehem Steel Company ad-
vertises to tell the people why a gov
eminent armor plant would be waste
full.
Gas companies whose rates are at
tackled do the same thing.
1.-THE Long Island Railroad adver-
tises to lessen the number Of acct
dents.
Everywhere the disposition to scorn
public sentiment has given way to a
disposition to win public approval"
The politicians seeking office. the
churches seeking increased attendance
and better support, find the advertis-
ing columns of the papers the best
way Of getting in touch with the peo-
pie.
There are frequently complaints that
employer and striker do not get a fair
show in the press. This is in a meas
ure true, because one side or the
other, or both sides, decline to state
their case. Should each side state it's
own case in the advertising columns,
1t can reach the people in any state
ment it chooses and win the sympa-
thy and support of the people.
Wouldn't an argumentative cam
paign beat a dictatorial, independent
one to death?

FOR THE PICNIC BASKET.

Here is a simple way of preparing
jellied chicken for picnics and excur-
sions. Take IA three or four pound
chicken and bon it until the flesh is
ready to fall from the bones. Let boil
down so thai there will not be a large
quantity of water at the end. Chop
the meat fine. FfIave ready a generous
tablespoonful Of gelatine softened in a
little cold water. Dissolve it by add
ing a pint Of the hot chicken pot
liquor. Add a pinch of paprika and
onion, salt to taste. Put the chicken
meat and the dissolved gelatina to-
gether and turn into a cake tin that
has been lined with oiled paper. This
will slice readily, and unless the
weather is very hot the gelatine will
hold it in slices until lunch time.

rEeR DEUTSCHLAND INVISIBLE

The Deutschland is in the open
ocean bound for Bremen, and regard
less of our prejudices we all hope she
will dock in three weeks at Bremen,
How well she is designed for undersea
work was shown by the fact that she
passed within 300 feet Of a guardship
and was not apprehended; and with
the periscope eight inches out Of wa
ter, the slight ripple from her motor
and the periscope could not be seen
with the most powerful glass when
800 feet away.
Her hull is painted the color of. sea-
water, and doubtless the German air
men flew over her before she left
home to. make sure she could not be
readily made out by enemy airmen
scouting to locate her.
There is no longer any doubt that
she can dive deep, since she went to
the bottom Of a hole 315 feet deep
inside the three-mile limit as a test
before she made her final plunge and
made for the open sea.
The only nervousness Capt. Keonig
manifested was about the net the
British set in the open sea to the SUBJ
marine discomforture and loss.

fciency has made a lasting world

of Germany being prepared for the
war? We know she was. She had to
be. Where would she be today if she
had not been prepared? What else
could she do but prepare with the
Triple Entente touching her on both
borders? Yet England claims the Al
lies were not prepared and her cry
has always been 1.-TWO keels to Ger
many's one" From the very first,
she has worked with all her strength
to build up a fleet twice as large as
that of Germany But of course, this
was not preparing, according to the
English way of reckoning.
The Allies are fighting in a COM
mon cause, but certainly one should
get as much credit as another. France
is doing practically all the fighting in
her own country and she is making a
brave stand, but some way or other
the news all comes through London,
and we learn 90 only of what Eng
land is doing in the war. She might
do more if she didn't send some Of
her trops off to Greece for a vaCa-
ton!
It is about time that the American
public realizes that with Germany in
possession of all Belgium, all Poland,
all Serbia, all Montenegro, all Alban
ia, one-quarter of France and parts of
Russia, that she is not being defeated
as easily as England would have them
believe. This is not an article fav-
oring the cause Of the Central Powers,
so much as it faVors fair play for
them in the periodicals or this cOun-
try.
