I'ho Orogouian admits that it had opened its columns lo La f forty to defend himself, which he did. Having done this, tho Orogonian fulfilled its journalist ic functions. It was not obliged to open its advertising columns for Laf forry's falsehoods and self exploitation, simply because thov were paid for. Tho Orogonian says: "Xo newspaper can abdicate its editorial fuuetion of selection and limitation'' yet this is what tho Orogonian did when it printed lies for Laf forty, knowing that they were lies, simply because the cash accompanied them, and they were marked paid. The Orogonian thus coucludes its lame apolegy: ""Would the Medford paper criticise tho owner of a public theater at fed ford, for example, if he were to rent his place to La f forty to hold a mooting and make ft speech?" This is entirely beside the mark. Tt is not a parallel case. But if the theater owner had publicly denounced a play as immoral and unfit, and a fraud upon the public, and then had permitted the production of the play, be cause it was paid for, he certainly would be subjected to criticism. "? "iJsj The Orogonian evidently cannot see any ethics in-! volyed in advertising fakirs and frauds or in permitting i the" use of its columns to swindle and mulct its readers. providing it gets the cash. Otherwise the Orogouian's columns would not be" promoting wild-cat mining fakes or through advertisements bordering upon the obscene and vulgar and unfit for family perusal, be making it possible for medical quacks to prey upon afflicted humanity. OLD SI HAWKINS AGAIN AT IT. OLD Si Hawkins, tlie handy man of t cific, is at it again with his pencil. There's boon a j)od tloal written '.n papflrsTand magazines about "Check ers," but we fail to see -vvhore the play deserves more than passing no tice. Tho plot is founded upon a pretty little love story and in as much ns "Checkers," tho trauibler, show, unmistakably symptoms of rofonn early in the first not he has bis au dience lyitk him from the start. The characters of the play are typos that have been somewhat worn by dra matists. In fnot we ucvor moot them in real life. They are oxaj;j:e ration that have boon ovorworked and should bo civon a much needed ret. Tho ordinary playwright sooms to know loss about tho true mm! char acter than any other class of obfeerv iii" people. Tho story of "Checkers" is one off interest but is crudoly worked out; ijho actors at last night's perform ance were very good nnd the nudi cioo heartily enjoyed tho play. It would be a dulicht to soe II. B. War- nor, "Alias Jimmy Valentino," the or iginal "Checkers," haudlo the pnrt. Henry Blossom, tbe author, is not in tho class with Klein, George Ade nnd othors of onr modern group But it should bo taken into account lint "Checkers" was written borne years ago and is a bit too full in the sjiirt for tho progont style. , PJnysVliko Rnrraonte are subject to tho arbitrary laws of fnebjou. Of ftourso Hamlet and tho full dross coal are staples that taiid the test of time. ED ANDREWS. OREGON APPLES i MAKE BIG HIT .Each Visitor to Land Show Presented .

He "figgers" faithfully and each time arrives at the con clusion that the poor Espee is on the verge of bankruptcy and the fanner ought to rush to its aid and-request his freight rate doubled. In Ids latest "reasonings" Si finds that the railroad payroll o.f the nation is greater than the farm payroll. Certainly, most farmers do their own work and their fam ilies don't figure on tlie payroll. Then Mrs. Si comes to the rescue: "Land sakes, those, railroad fellows get an average of nearly $700 a year: no wonder they can wear blue suits and brass buttons. "Why, that is about three times as much as we pay our hired man, John, and he works tliirtecu hours every day of tlie year, except on Fourth of July and circus day!" Farmers would like to know what part of the railroad Si farms and gets 13 horn's of work per dav for $233 per year. Certainly not in Oregon. Meantime please help the Southern lJaeihc by contributing a Christmas pot. They sorely need it, especially in Oregon, where in 1910 the 0. & C. earnings were only $S,659,945 and operating ex penses, including Uncle Si's salarv, reached $4,520,516, or a net profit of $4,139,419. acting as Governor -AVost's porsonal speeches and pounded homo In tho representative and Tom Richardson minds of tholr auditors tho fact that of Portland made the principal Oregon is tho bo.t state.
