FORTUNE INTER A DANDY SHOW Audience Had Long Wait, But It Was Well Worth It Lines Were Good and Actors Handled Their Parts With Great Skill. WHENEVER tho Orotjonian l'uns out. of arguments in a discussion with this paper, it dismisses tho de bate by asserting that The Mail Tribune is rapidly losing ground and doesn't amount to much anyway, while its little local stand-pat echo is becoming a journalistic world beater. " '- T I i Last week the Oregonian closed a discussion of news paper ethics with the comprehensive and convincing argu ment that had nothing to do with the case: "The Sun has under its present management rapidly and deservedly taken the lead in the "Medford newspaper field." In "Wednesday's issue the Oregonian again replies to The Mail Tribune by the following conclusive clincher: "It (The Mail Tribune) has suffered a great loss of the general commence . . . and has been the opportu nity of a live, fair and truthful paper like the Medford Sun." m . ti;tfMF Perhaps the Oregonian is .judging others by itself and imagines that because it is losing its hold anil becoming a hoodoo, other leading papers must be also. But the wish is evidently father to tho thought, for the Oregonian is practising its usual precept that a lie well stuck to is better than the truth. When the Oregonian asserts and reasserts that The Mail Tribune is not the leading newspaper in southern Oregon, judged by prestige, influence, circulation, busi ness, equipment, or by any other measure, it "lies by day, it lies by night, and it lies for the mere lust of lying" BREAKING WITH RUSSIA. ' PERSIANS CLASH S "The Fortuno Iluntcr" .was tlie first real New York production, ex cepting "Alias Jimmy Valentine," that iMcdford has seen for many a day. In last niRht'8 production ,it was not alone the lines that were spoken or tho excellence of the actor, hut tho natural environment that spoke with an eloquence that touched tho heart In tho second act, the setting of tho old drug store, the honest, kind hearted old inventor and tho daughter trying to make the hest of their pov erty; tho old workshop in tho cor ner and the hundred little signs of financial failure formed the picture that stamped its pathos on the hearts of tho audience. This surrounding, together with most excellent acting and a play thnt has merit of tho first quality, made "Tho Fortuno Hunter" a performance that Medford will long remember. Miss Cohan is a genuine actress; sho has a keen conception of her character; sho is intelligent tfnil tal ented and, above all. so sincere in her work that she cannot fail to im press. Nothing hut the consummate love of art would induce a lady with sleeves rolled up in tho chilly atmos phere of last night to scrub a mimic drug store through n scene lasting 10 or 15 minutes, hands constantly in water. The only had feature of tho evening wns tho lateness of tho production. It was 10:24 when the curtain rolled up and, duo to difficulties on tho" stage, tho show was not over until nearly Z a. ni. That tho audienco remuined is a great testimonial. notMt foundofoliver Army Sergeant Who Disappeared In November Cannot Be Located Seen In Medford After Leaving Butte Falls. Alt offortB on tho part of local authorities to locato Frederick O. Oliver, tho sergeant who disappeared November 22, whou ho boarded tho train at Butto Falls for Medford, bavo been unavailing. Trace was found of him In Medford but nothing further. It has boon learned that Oliver's inothor had died a short tlmo boforo bis disappearance and this may have unbalanced his mind, nB bo conotnnt y thought of U, Its", v" ' w Aw'- A BROGATION of the -treaty between the United States l. and Russia by the former is occasioned by the con tinued action of Russia in holding up Americans because of their race or religion in defirtneo of treaty obligations. Jews and athiests are refused admittance to Russia and subjected to annoyances, and all other Americans must submit to an humiliating inquisition at tho Russian embassy or consulate before their American passports are given the Russian vise, without which no one is x)ermitted to cross the frontier. In 1S32 a treatv was made between the United States and Russia. The first article of that treaty reads: "There shall bo between the territories of the high contracting parties a reciprocal liberty of commerce and navigation. The inhabitants of their respective states shall mutually have liberty to enter the ports, places, and rivers of the territories of each party, wherever foreign commerce is permitted. They shall be at liberty to so journ and reside in all jJarts whatsoever of said territor ies, in order to attend to their affairs, and they shall en joy, to that effect, the same security and protection as natives of the country wherein they reside, on condition of their submitting to the laws and ordinances there pre vailing, and particularly to the regulations in force con cerning commerce." Thirty years ago Russia began to violate the treaty. "With religious persecution, massacres and anti-scmitic outbreaks in Russia, came the religious inquisition against American citizens desiring to enter the czar's domain. Russia violated the treaty and continued one subterfuge after another in reply to diplomatic protests. James Gr. Blaine, while secretary of state in 1881, made formal protest against Russia's actions, stating tha.t the United States could "make no new treaty with Russia, nor accept any construction of our existing treaty which shall discriminate against any class of American citizens on account of their religious faith." Resolutions have been passed at every session of con gress since, protesting, and during the past thirty years one secretary of state after another endeavored to make it clear to Russia that she was breaking the treaty with the United States by discriminating against American citizens on account of their religious belief. Both tho republican and democratic parties have incorporated in their platforms this demand for equal rights for the American passport in Russia, and candidates for presi dent and presidents have promised before and after elec tions in speeches and in letters to deal energetically witn this insult to American citizenship. . American citizens are not the only ones against whom the Russian government discriminates on religious grounds.. Subjects of other countries of Europe must submit to the same religious inquisition at the hands of the Russian officials in those countries. And yet the other countries do not press their claims so persistently as the United States. America has led the way. Congress and the president have at last acted. The break with Russia is complete. A new treaty will not be made unless the American passport is honored. Other nations will follow a like course. Russia has no navy and is powerless to go to war even if it was desired, but there is nothing to indicate that tho most barbarous of civilized nations intends armed aggres sion. In the meantime, Americans will have to keep out of Russia. . OE ARMOND WEDS MISS MABEL COLLINS Attorney II. II. DoArmond and Miss Mabel 13.
