MUTT AND JEFF FAR
FROM COMIC OPERA
Singing is Poor, Jokes Stale and
Beauty Chorus a Relic of
By-gOne Days.

The popularity OF Nut and Jeff in
cartoon was sufficient to draw out
a good house to see the alleged com
ic opera. The Marriage OF Mutt and
Jeff" last night at the Oregon the
ater. but IL wasn't sufficient to make
the audience like IL. The plot. what
there was OF It. was a rehash OF an
ancient vaudeville skit. the singing
was too poor to get an encore for
even the funniest numbers. the dane
ing was little better than the antics
Of an awkward squad Mutt was
Just possible. Jeff was q joke and the
beauty chorus" could be more ap-
propriately mentioned In the rs
Years AGO" column. After seeking
the attraction last evening Il is easy
to believe that the movies have raid
ed the 'legit" and stole away much
or its beauty and talent.

WHERE NEWSPAPERS ARE
HARD HIT

m HE soaring price of news
VI print paper together with
the scarcity of supply,
and the freight congestion, is
working a hardship on many
newspapers throughout the
country. Papers that were not
protected by contracts at the
outset of the war now have to
pay double the usual price for
newsprint. In many cases a
great hardship is wrought, so
much so that more than one
publication is face to face with
bankruptcy.
An interesting explanation
has Just been made by the St
Louis Post Dispatch as to its
last Sunday edition. At that
time the Post-Dispatch was
compelled to leave out five
pages of advertising and cur
tail its circulation because Of
lack of newsprint. In explana-
ton it was asserted there was
not enough paper in st. Louis to
meet the papers needs. That
st. Louis publication is still
awaiting receipt by freight of
paper shipped from New York
and Vermont in the month Of
January. thus showing that the
freight congestion has a bear
ing on the situation.
The case of the Post Dis
patch is typical of the average
newspaper, large or small
throughout the country. Prices
of materials used in the publi-
cation of newspapers have in
creased from 100 TO $50 per
cent with the result that most
of the large city newspapers in
the east have increased their
subscription or advertising
rates or both.

FOR THE ARISTOCRACY OR
THE PEOPLE

0LL reports from Europe are
"A that the revolt in Russia
through which the car
was forced to abdicate was a
step towards liberalism. The
reports are doubtless true in
part at least. 1t is unquestion-
ably true that insofar as the
common people participated in
the uprising they struggled in
the hope of obtaining greater
political freedom.
The srevolt, however, does
not have the earmarks of a
real and genuine revolution.
Such a movement comes from
the people and is inspired by
a desire for fundamental
changes. The Petrograd re-
volt was so brief that there is
a possibility it was conducted
merely by one faction of the
nobility against the ruling
house of the empire. In that
case it is difficult to tell whe-
ther the step taken means
much for Russian freedom or
not. :. s&~s
The future will reveal the
exact nature of the uprising in
the Russian capital by which
the czar was dethroned. 1t is
entirely possible Nicholas was
disliked by the aristocracy not
because of his absolutism but
because he may have had too
many plans for the benefit of
the people.

The Seven Lies.


The Popular Magazine prints an
anonymous poem, "The Seven Lies Of
Man. somewhat as follows:
Behold The seven lies of man,
And tell his age by that;
AS soon as he can lisp, he says:
1T mutht have been the cat"
Next, when the baseball team begins
To make its thrilling score.
His well-loved grandmama falls dead
A dozen times or more.
Third, like a furnace does he sigh;
OF course, we know the gist.
He tells the maiden fair she is
The first he ever kissed.
Fourth age, he comes home in the
morn,
And gladness fills his cup
The good Samaritan has been
With sick friends sitting up.
Fifth, to the nurs'ry he repairs,
His heir to interview,
And says my son"-kerswat! ker-
swishl-
"This hurts me more than you!"
He next has leisure on his hands,
And fiI1o oan r,itb Eo
He hooks a minnow, then he swears
Ten pounds to be its weight.
Last age, when lean and slippered
grown,
He finds his greatest Joy
In telling what perfection ruled
The days he was boy.
Popular Magazine.
The Seven Lies of Woman.
Man is not alone in deceit. We
will rush to his defense:
The seven lies of woman, too,
Denote their age, we think,
Beginning with, ut wath not me,
But bruther, split the ink"
Next at tie age of pigtails stiff
And small lads pulling hair,
"I'll never speak to you again,
I cross my heart, so there!"
Third, at the age Of many beaus,
And one boy in particular,
To whom she's lost her heart, she
says:
"I will not let you kiss me, SIR"
Fourth age, when hubby dear is
asked
For cash for fashions latest shout,
She weeps, 1--WE not thing to wear,
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-01-08

of home is a primal instinct, reach
ing deep within the wells OF life.
It is deeper than civilization; more
lasting than culture. The Indian
longs for his wigwam; the city boy
for the paved streets; the country
boy for the green fields and babbling
brooks. Men have ever loved the
spot Of their infancy. To the child
Of the midnight sun the SHOWS are
beautiful and the cold that chills the
stranger is a pleasing phase of Ma
ture.
With our American traditions the
home instinct is stronger, for it is
cast on firm foundations. Long be-
fore the days Of luxury, conditions
themselves forced to its full this plant
Of home love. Perhaps the most
abiding memory Of that old home is
the element Of hard work. When the
ideal Of the homo had been moulded
into indestructiblc form, firm against
any invasion Of temptation, life was
not'of ease. There we're no lazy men,
bers in the home family. The mother
wove the cloth, the father subdued
the forest and made way for the crop
and harvest. The child had his or
her part to perform in the home econ
omy. There we're tasks for all and
life meant productive work. The
summit was ever ahead and there was
always a nearer and newer goal to
reach.
The ties of love grew strong and
pure and sturdy in that old home.
There were times when the love of
father might have seemed cold and
distant. But it was love that was
ready to sacrifice and fight for its
own. The mother love and the ties
that existed between brother e1d SIS
ter could be found nowhere else.
These were the glories of that old
home which ever lives in the men,
ories of so many, the ideal which
time nor place can change, nor age
diminish. It is the home that has
kept alive the far distant cry Of
Jacob, and it is the home that beck
ons today to tho hearts of millions
of red-blooded men and women. It's
cry, stifled, perhaps, and unuttered,
is none the less powerful, growing
deeper and deeper enshrined within
the confines of our hearts as age mel
lows and cherished memories become
more sacred.
