Reutr Firca Gatiing Qua No. 2 The Theater as Bad as Danc ing Quotes from Actors and Dra matic Critics to Prove His Point. The theater, like every other insti tution, should be judged by its effects. i Does the theater .improve the morals of la community or lower them? What class of people predominates at the average theater? Do the most spiritual members of a 'church -frequent tho theater? - Sometime b when a preacher de- ttouneej the theater somebody says: ' Vou-preachers never -attend tho the ater; why denounce a thing of which you know but little or nothing?" - Since tho opinions of clergymen are apt to b discounted in a matter like this, let us hear what theatrical man agers and performers have to say on the subject. . When not long ago Clement Scott, a leading theatrical critic of London, was asked to give to the public his matured views of the stage as a place for a pure-minded girl to seek a livelihood and to pursue dramatic art, his answer was: ' ' A woman may take a header into a whirlpool and be miraculously saved but then, she may he drowned, If a girl knows how to take care of herself she can go anywhere; but 1 should be sorry to expose modesty to the shock of that worst kind of temp tation, a frivolous disregard of woman ly purity. One out of a hundred may he safe, but then -she must hear things that she had better not listen to, and witness things she had better not see. In every class of life women are ex posed o danger nnd temptations, but far mo rein the theater than elsewhere. All honor and praise to them when they brave them out. ' ' That view of the case, by n trained observer, would hard Iv encourage a lover of his fellows to give any more encouragement to profession with such exceptional risks in it than he was compelled to. John Gilbert, un actor, sin's: 1 "Many of the plays that have been adapted from, the French aro open to the severest criticism on the ground of immorality. I say, as an actor, without any hesitation, that such play hnve a very bad influence ou nearly all people, especially on the young. Some- argue that, even in these productions, vice is punished in the end; but wlieu a whole play is filled with amorous intrigue, and fairly bristles with conjugal infi delity. when, in short, nil the characters are infamous, there is no question in my mind but that its influence is bad. He it remembered, these are the words of a veteran actor, not of n poorly formed preacher! ' Alexander Dumas, who wrote for the stage, said: "Let me say once for all, you must not take your daughter to the theater." Mncready, the great actor, once said: "None of my children shall ever, with my consent, enter a theater or have nny visiting connection with actors or act resses. ' ' Montague Stanley, upon leaving the stage in the midst of great popular sue cess, exclaimed: " I am emancipated from a most ungodly profession.' Over ten years ago Sarah Bernhardt, an actress of greut reputation (whom perhaps some Jackson county opera house manager would he glad to en gage to elevate (?) (he stage) was performing at the Che-itnut street op era house. Philadelphia. The Philadel phia Public Ledger called it a " iiinn , strous conglomeration of horrors of vile ness. ' When the play was over, person who had witnessed it. said:! "ounds! but that is a devilish sort of a piay It leaves a bad tnte in one's mouth. ' ' The Itcv. Dr. Cuvler was once pass ing a playhouse with an actor who had left the stage. As they passed, the actor, pointing to the theater, said: "Behind thus.- curtains lies Sodom." Among the ancient heathen it was consiplered a disgrr to I mi ted with one. A writer of the Augudan j age pronounced theatrical amusements j as a great source of corruption. And j Gibbon, the historian, say: "The law's of Nome expressly prohibited the mar- ring" ((f ti senator with any female who 'bad I n dishonored by the theatrical profession. The infidel Ifousseau declared that "the theater h in all cases a school of vice. Though he himself wrote for the stage. I x pressed the opinion "that every friend of pure morals ought to oppose it . " ' What says the highest legislative body of f.ttr land.' The American con gress. soon after tl Declaration of Independence. " pitted the following resolution: "Whereas, true religion ami good morals are the ,uiv foundation of pub lie liberty and happiness; he it "I' ed. That it be, mid hereby is. en no stl V recommended to the several states, to take the most eff.-.-tuHl meas lire f.r tl ni-Muragemciit thereof, and for the suppression of theatrical en tertain no nts. hor 'eraciriif, iamiitL' and such other diversions as are pruduetire of id lenexs, d issji:tt ion a ud a genera I depravity of priin-ipk nnd manner." When theatrical performers and plav wright. when infidels and the highest legislative of our hind. d tioui 'he theater in tr..tig tern., j- it not a pitiable sp.. tare to e.- 1 lljicfeler of the gi.sp.-l running an op ra house Jo et up trap to tempt young p ople to go down to eternal damnation? What have we done in the above? We have done what we did in our article of last week furnished proof after proof in support of our positiou. Now, mark if some ecclesiastical De metrius of the Kogue Itiver valley does not rise up aud say: "The whole ser mou is u number of dogmatic assertions without proof. ' W. C. KKITTKR. FRUITMEN TO MEET IN GRANTS PASS The fruitgrowers' meeting to bo held in the opera house on Saturday, Feb ruary I, under tho auspices of tho Ore gon Agricultural college and the Grauts Pass Fruitgrowers' association, is quite certain to be the largest in attendance and to have the best programme, and to be the most profitable to tho fruitgrow ers of any similar meeting yet held in Kogue River valley. There will be two sessions, that of the forenoon begin ning at 10 o'clock and the afternoon at 1:30, says the Grants' Pass Outlook. There will be no fixed programme' for this meeting, but it will be largely in the nature of an experience meeting, and various fruitgrowers will be called on to give an account of the successes and failures in their orchard work un der the conditions that obtain hero in Rogue River valley. Among the speakers will be Profes sor C. I. Lofis, Professor O. B. Cord ley and Professor James Dryden, of the Oregon Agricultural college; O. W. Tay lor, fruit inspector of Jackson county; J. A. Perry, manager of the Medford Fruitgrowers association; G. A. Ho ver, one of the lending pear growers of Jackson county. The address of Mr. Taylor will be of special value to those interested in the fight against the cod lin moth, for Mr. Taylor is considered the best authority in Rogue River val ley on the habits of this dreaded pest. Professor W. S. Ha Hard, assistant pathologist of the department of agri culture and in charge of the fight in California against the pear blight, will be present and tell the peargrowers how to keep the blight out of this val ley and how to fight it should it get here. DANIELS AND ENYART HUNTING BIG GAME J. K. Knyart nnd T. K. Daniels have left for the mountains, wdiore thep will hunt for biter and cougar. They are in the Applegate country and will remain a week, lioth of these gentlemen are marksmen ami no doubt will return with big game. Fra n k K. I ty bee of Nort h Jackson -ville, the well-known stockman, was among his Medford friends Monday afternoon. 71 SQUKRE DB7U TIip linkup Hivnr ( ompunv li.is iilivu.m c-diiti nili d Hint llicre mo (riiiiil rriiMin why tlu rciil rstuli' luisim-mi i-iuuii.t he cumi'il mi huniinihly nnil honestly, with Hue n-puil fur I ho 1-inhtn of both purcha.nT nnd liuiilmvnir.

This is n history of which we tire proud, and we shall rontinue along the same lines iu the future. Men who pome into this favored valley looking for a new place of abode are entitled to fnir treatment. We only nsk nf them that they will exercise ordinary biHiness sagacity iu investigating the resources of the valley before buying. There are three things tin- average investor wants, if he btivs country property in this valley. I'irst aud foremost, he wants n liome wnere he and his family can enjoy good health and the fruits of this section. Usually lie wants In get located where he is within easy reach of the leading cominercial centers nnd close to local inarliols. And he always wants property which will bring in a good income aud is sure to advance in value as the vallev develops. Will In- be apt to find this combination in the hands of the street corner broker or the average "butter-in" who persecutes the hoiiieseeker about the holel offices? When one con aider that the situation is not urging many men with good holdings to sncri (ice their property here, it is up to the hoiiieseeker to apply to the regular dealer for what he wants. If he wants the VERY BEST IN THE WHOLE VALLEY lie must apply to the liogue Hiver Land Company. When in Med ford, do not fail tn call on the AT THE EXHIBIT BUILDING. Rogue River Land Co.

The object of the meeting is to organ ize un association after the plan of the woolgrowers' nnd fruitgrowers as sociations for the purpose of marketing the mohair direct to the factories and shipping iu car lots, ami also to co operate in the buying and selling of breeding animals mid for other advan tages that may be gained by uniting all who are engaged iu the gout indus try, says the Grants Pass Outlook. There aro now fully 40(H) Angora goats owned in Josephine nud Jackson counties, some of the bands numbering from 300 to 500, Many of these goats aro registered and from the best herds of the United States and South Africa. That Rogue River valley is to become as noted for its fine mohair as it now is for its fine fruit is the opinion of persons who are experts on Angara goata. Tho elimate ia ideal for the health of goats, for they are a tender, somi-tropical animal nod the young es pecially canuot withstand excessive eold or beating rain storms. The mild win ters and cool summers of Rogue Itiver valley produce ou the goats a mohair of remarkable fineness and great length, while the dry hill lands with their heavy growth of brush and wild grasses afford the best of pasturage for goats. The expense of keeping gouts in Kogue River valley is lower than in most other sections of the Pacific coast, for there are thousands of acres of lull and moun tain laud that is of little value for other purposes but would be good pasturage for goats. Aud the winters are so mild that very little fee dwouhl be required for the goats during that season of the year. Xow that Angora goats are being kept in large numbers, a greater profit can be made on the mohair by shipping in car lots and selling direct- to the man ufacturers in tho east. PLANS COMPLETED FOR CATHOLIC PARSONAGE J. A. Mcintosh, architect, lias com pleted plans for the new Catholic par sonage, to be built immediately in the southern part of Medford. This will be one of the finest residences in Med ford when completed, ami will be one of the most substantial struct urea in the city. Mr. Mcintosh is now drawing plans for the large Catholic school to be erected in tho southern part of the city. This will be PJiixim feet on the ground plan, three stories high and will be a modern, up-to-date school building such as Medford may be justly proud of. F. W.
