FOR A CLEANER STAGE
The management of the United Booking Officers has
decided to bar from the vaudeville houses of the country
hereafter persons who have gained notoriety m criminal
cases.
It is not to be assumed that the motive back of this
decision is a moral one purely. It is simply a practical
recognition of public disgust with the methods that have
so long prevailed.
Any accused murderess, if the charges against her
were especially atrocious and widely published, and any
particularly salacious divorcee were sure of offers to go
upon the stage. No other qualifications were required.
A long list of women might be given who have gone upon
the stage with nothing else to commend them than that
they were disgracefully notorious.
It was an insult to public intelligence and decency, of
course. In seeking the cause or the decline oi the stage
this custom cannot be overlooked.
The president is too hard on those Mexicans in asking
them to quit fighting and behave themselves. If he knew
them better he would not expect such an impossible con
dition to be complied with.
Marion countv is eoine to build some eood roads-
many miles of them this year without any bond issuest
back of them. That is applying good horse sense to ine
conduct of public business.
Those familiar lines, kept standing in well regulated
newspaper offices all last fall, appeared in the dispatches
again today: "The Germans bombarded Rheims cathed
ral today."
The Oregonian is worrying again over the low price of
wool. It is only about ten cents a pound higher than it
was before the tariff was taken off.
A Galley o Fun!
A special session of congress will be called if interna
tional difficulties thicken. That is one of the horrors of
war.

The atlas contains splendid colored maps of all the

THE "DOUBLE-COLUMN PAD."

Wo know one or two of the brethren

influence them somewhat in their like

If ono hns only enough editorial mat

would not look good set in double-column

double-column style ourselves, regard
