People demand amusement .
, . Peoule Demand Amusement '
There is no no use trying to de
ny the fact that many people like
amusement rather than instruction,
and they prove the stateraemnt by
their actions, very sagely says the
Baker City Herald.
Last night one of the best shows
on the road held forth at the Baker
Theatre and the result was a crowd
ed house. But there was really no
. thing to the show but goqd, , clean
fun, and there was plenty of that.
A few nights ago Bishop Scaddlng,'
one of the truly great men of the
, West, delivered a lecture In Nevlus
! Hall on the "Life of Christ" and
he did not have more than two doz-
en people to hear him. His enter
f tainment was instructive, it was up
lifting and worthy of the support of
everyone. The show we speak of
was a production full of laughter,
foolishness and good nature. While
It received applause In quantity and
was the talk' of the town, Bishop
" Scaddings' lecturo was scarcely men
tioned next day following Its dell ?

Yet the biBhop had put more work
on his lecture, studied harder, con
sulted more authorities than most
of the Shakesperlan actors to Bay
nothing of the burlesque shows such
as the cue that 'delighted two-thirds
of Baker's population. i
The lesson drawn from this is ve
ry plain: People will be entertains 1
and amuBcd rather than listen at-
Jkentlvelly to a deep and' uearned
.talker .handle .a subject. There Is
no use to criticise or rail or rant
about this condition of affairs, it
exists and what are you going to
do abuot It?

visit to the coast and in mentioning
his appearance, his addresses and
the reception accorded hlni offered
the last trip of Roosevelt In' compar
ison, drawing the conclusion ,thut
Roosevelt was an entertainer whl'c
Taft was more of the nature of a
Jurist. And the conclusion drawn
, was that the people followed Roose
yelt and Warmed up to him because
be was an entertainer whije Taft's
reception was almost chilly.
This Is but another. Illustration of
the desire for entertainments. An
other example: The local minister
works hard on his sermons, reads
his bible to a studious manner. He
faces a mere handful of faithful
churchgoers on Sunday morning and
wonders why people do not attend
church. Then a slang dispensing
bishop happens In calling himself
an evangelist. He raves and roars
and swears; talks on dellcato sub
jects, and holds meetings for men
only and for women only. He may
cany a singer. What is the result?
People turn out by thousands; they
applaud him. dine rim and almor,t
fall at tls feet and worship him.
This (s another form of entertain
ment rather than genuine thought.

Important transfers of property have
been made, notably the recent pur
chase of 520 acres by P. C. Lavey of
Portland at a cost of $65,000, says a
Newberg, Ore., dispatch. This body
of land is three miles from the city

Planning to increase the fallliifi
lobster supply, the United States
Fisheries Department will trans
plant n carload In the waters r
Yaqulna Cay. Whether the loV
slers will thrive there Is not known
but it is though conditions are right
for them. Lobsters 'demand a rocky
bottom, without silt deposited by ttie
nearby rivers, which is the case at
Yaqulna. This is tho reason assi
gned for the failures of experiments
made heretofore In trying to grow
logsters in Pacific waters. Senator
Bourne has been agitating the mat
ter and has secured the promise of
Fish Commissioner Bowers to make
the experiment at Yaqulna.
Our anti-meat strike Is not with
out precedent. In Germany several
years ago a similar movement was
successful In bringing about a re
duction of prices. It Is a new thing
lu this country, hovever. Just what
result the prevailing high prices or
necessities will have on future leg
islation Is a problem that Is being
given careful consideration not only
by politicians but financiers. So
cialism has been dormant in this
country for the past three years but
