Whitney, who is in class by himself
in rapid.fire impersonation presented
the finest type of mOnologue ever heard
in Salem. A chameleon would have gone
paralytie in the attempt to follow
Whitney in his lightning changes from
a gushy, eackling old maid to "rough-
neck" Just out of Sing Sing. The play
'eTurn to the Right" is equally divid
ed between laughter and tears and
tense drama; and to present it faith
fully is not only a grilling task but
displays genius of the highest order.
The ehautauqua is fortunate in secur-
ing such an attraction.
Today there is a combination Of en-.
tertainment and education that will en-
boss the date on the calendar, with the
Recital Artists, Mary Adele Hayes and
Elsie Mae Gordon furnishing music and
impersonations and with Bryan and Ida
M. Tarbell filling up a long evening
with lectures that will deal with the
greatest themes now before the world.
It should be borne in mind that in or
der to make room for this great even
ing's work, the SESSION will begin
promptly at 1880, and ticket holders
are urged to be on hand promptly,
Miss Tarbell who has recently return

LIGHTNING STRIKES

Eugene and other points in the William

The rain fell in torrents for, a short

Vessels in the willamette were forced
to remain at their berths. The lightning

STATEMENT OF FACTS

1t may be of interest to the people
of Newark who have in the past
thought, when paying their monthly
light or power bill, that the rates
were somewhere near heaven, while
they still existed on earth. A protest
to the company only brought forth the
old worn out excuse, which even on
the darkest night could be seen
through, that wages have advanced to
such an extent that rates had to be
increased, even in view Of the fact
that in other localities, where the
cost of labor is more than double that
paid here and coal is higher (due to
the freight rates, being farther away
from the mines), current is produced
and sold at a good profit for less than
half what is ch, reed here. This same
Power Co., not being satisfied with
taking eXorbitant toll from it's GUS
toners, now wants to take the con-
stitutional rights as American citi-
ZenS away from some of its employees
Ny OlSCIIell SlIlS LILClI DCCduSc CIlcy US-
long to labor organization, and then
try to camoufia~e their acts to the
public by evasion and falsehood.
Evidently some of the officials of this
company must experience the same
sensation as the ostrich, which by
burying its head in the sand to hide
its body, feels itse4 safe.
Of course no individual could ques-
tion the right of corporations to or
ganize, because each individual be-
lieves he possesses the same right,
as long as it is an elevation to So
ciety and the community in which lie
lives; but what some of the indi-
viduals in Newark would like to ask
is it an elevation to society, the COM
munity or prosperity by trying to de-
feat the purposes of other manu-
featuring plants desirous of locating
here?
Are the manufacturers proud of the
reputation Newark holds of being the
second city in the state of Ohio to
pay its employees low wages, or afraid
of loosing that reputation?
If you, Mr.. Reader, want to change
the reputation of newark, if you be-
lieve in gaining something for the
good of al and not a selfish gain,
something for the betterment of
humanity and society, then adopt the
principle 100000 other workers
have throughout the United States,
by joining your respective Local or
ganization. ]. J. Smith.

New York, Feb. s---The prohibit

this subject was brought up in the
Ausfg; ian Senate by a senator who
Is known to be "A vigorous advocate
OF prohibition, and the inquiry was
sent to MIR. Braddons Office as re-
suit of this senator's questions.
Mir. Braddon pointed out that sew
eral years ago an act was introduced,
but not passed, which would have
given the liquor interests In Aus

said that under the Federal War Pre-

At one time dnring tho war drunken
soldiers in South Aust ralia started a
rot and for a month after that the
drinking places were closed by spe-
cial legislation. This closing. Mr.
Rraddon said, proved the beneficial
effects of prohibition of drinking at
such time.
Since his arrival in this city few
months ago Mr. Braddon has built up
