When Clarence Darrow was In La
Grande he said, "the h)ef caus of
crime are poverty and the ke of
man for woman,"
Thla morning aa Tom Ellexs on. con
victed of the murder of Waldo Perry.
. spoke his heart which told of the de
rotlon and lone he held for Mrs. Per
ry, the words of Clarence Darrow
came back to memory.
Ellexson has been tried, found guil
ty of murder In the second degree,
and sentenced to life Imprisonment
Tou might say. "It Is over, ring down
the curtain." But wait, life Is a long
time as a usual thing and during that
period there might something occur to
indicate Ellexson Is telllnc the truth
tn bis statement published elsewhere.
Remember, he was conricted on pure
ly circumstantial evidence. By this
remark we do not mean to assume
that he Is innocent, but we do wish to
aay that it is a hard matter to con-
i Tlct ft man on no more evidence than
wm produced in this trial. If it had
been shown that Mrs. Perry had re
turned the lore which Ellexson show
ed toward her, then the case would
hare been strong. But such was not
proTen. Then it follows that Ellexson
11 lored a woman who scorned him, gaT
him no encouragement, no hope of
. trer holding a place in her afectlon.
yet he kills her husband knowing that
he can neter take that husband's place
In ber heart.
' A little. unnatural, don't you think?!
And besides, rumors about t'nion af

ture! of this case might have been dor
mant and not uncovered.

With onr ample mources and

es tie case and the theory of Clarence
Darrow Is given another leg to stand
upon.
One lone h'ghwaymsa held up all
the passengers cn a Missouri Pacific
train as it was entering Kansas City
tie night before Christmas. But there
is noth'ng so very remarkable about
that for out here in Oregon once upon
; a time one lone man held up a legisla
ture for more than a month. This one
man power is getting popular.
And Mrs. Jack Cudahy Is about to
return to her husband whom she di
vorced Immediately after the Lillys
affair. It makes but little difference
whether she remarries Jack or not,
for the world is stni wondering if
Jere LilJis did not get the worst of
that tragedy anyhow.
John B. Ratio did not disappoint his
large audience last evening. He gave
them good stuff and showed that he
had studied his subjects with remark
able care and precision. Such enter
tainments are good for everyone. Fol
lowing him comes that greatest of all
entertainers, George Gilbert Bancroft
Tim Sullivan, the Tammany lieuten
ant, fed over 5.000 hungry people on
Christmas day. He also gave each a
ticket for two pairs of socks and a
pair of shoes. Tim may be a bad leg
islator but you would hare a hard

At the Orphean. -
Manager Gardinier made no u'stake
last . week when be announced he
would have the best show in all the
Northwest at the Orpheum this week.
All the acts are good and compose
a variety seldom seen In vaudeville.
Cecil Gordon and company in the
criginal Brinkley Girl opened the per
formance and Miss Gordon was orig
inal In her clever impersonations,
singing and commedlenne work. Her
presentation of the modern hobble
skirt was well taken and she received
several encores from her clever
act Hashimoto, the, first Japanese
seen on the local stage proved to be a
favorite. He did quite a few Intricate
and difficult feats on roller skates
and at the same time performed Jug
gling stunts that were very clever. He
sulns a top on a string np into the
wings, bringing down a beautiful
American silk flag, that covers the en
tire back of the stage. He closes his
act by some marvelous water Juggling
that brought forth a burst of ap
plause. The flag used in Mr. Hashi
moto's act is made of Japanese silk
and cost $15. Young and Manning In
a plantation comedy entitled "A Coon's
Temptation, introducing Jim Crow the
educated rooster and a game cock
in a cock fight waj good, and to be
fully appreciated ought to be seen.
During the finish of the act the roos
ter struts about the stage giving vent
to a crow of victory every little while
that Is truly laughable. Tot Young
also Introduces some good banjo
playing of the plantation variety that
i good. Mies Manning closes the act
with some good singing of the Sunny
South that is also good. If you haven't
teen the rooster fight It Is well worth
your while.
