Will Speak Against Single Tax. - George W. Dixon, editor of The Canby Tribune and Republican can didate for representative, has accept ed an invitation to speak to Barlow Grange, Saturday evening, March i!8, ohu the single tax. Mr. Dixon is the leader of the opposition to this pro posed measure in Oregon. The Ore gonlan says if Mr. Dixon continues his present fight until June he will kill th single tax measure. He will speak against it in Clackamas coun ty and other points In Oregon. The State Library Commission at Salem has collected up all Mr. Dixon's argu ments against the tax to, be sent to the granges all over, the state. The farmers are solid for Dixon In this fight- -- .- have any record, was in the fourtn century, A. D., among the Greeks, and was called "Chrlstos Paschon." All through the middle ages, different dra mas of this nature were portrayed, chiefly by religious orders. During the Crusades many similar plays were given for the purpose of stimulating the people to activity In the saving of the Holy City from the hands of Sar- EC 6I1S i In 1663 the peasants in the village of Oberammergau, In Bavaria, were visited by a terrible plague which de vastated their country. On its ces sation the entire population made a vow to perform the passion play of our Saviour. ever tenth year, out of gratitude, and as a means of religious Instruction a vow--which has ever been faithfully and regularly observed. The inhabitants of this secluded vil lage have a rare union of artistic abil ity and cultivation, with perfect sim-i plicity. Thejr familiarity with religi ous subjects is even beyond what Is usual In the alpine parts of Germany, and the spectacle is looked on with the same feelings with which It origi nated. What would appear elsewhere as impious is to these peasants devout and edifying. ; The Impersonator of Christ consid ers his part an act of worship. He and all the rest of the performers are selected for their holy life, and are consecrated to their work with pray er and fasting. In fact, it Is the am bition of every child in the village to act a part in this great event of their life, an In order to do so tney must show by their daily life that they are worthy of such an honor. Every vil lage girl has an ambition to portray the part of Mary, the Mother of Christ and they believe that In order to at tain tthis, they must not, even in thought, do anything contrary to the virtuous and pure character required for the part of the Mother of the Sav iour. Not to be considered fit to take any cart, however small, In this grand play, is, In Oberammergau, consider ed to be a great disgrace To take a part away from an actor is a shame that can hardly be borne, and it is on record that once a man to whom this happened Bank into melancholy, which became madness. The intention of this company Is to give to the public In general as near an exact reproduction of the famous Passion Play (as witnessed in Ober ammergau) as possible, and we con scientiously assert that there is noth ing in this grand performance that will be sacrilegious or , irreverent, or any pictures presented offensive to any Christian of any denomination, but, Instead, continual scenes and moving pictures illustrating the fas cinating Passion Play. Every man, woman and child will not only enjoy this grand performance, but will be held spellbound at the sight of the fascinating and sublime, life-size moving pictures of our Saviour and the multitude, and the beautiful sur rounding scenes. Kverv Darent and Sunday-school teacher should take advantage of this opportunity to vividly Impress upon the children these scenes In the Christ life impressions . that can never be effaced while th lamp of life hold nut to burn. In no other way, short of a personal visit to the village of Oberammergau, In Bavaria, at the time of this stupendous enactment, can so lasting a realization of the Crucifixion of Christ be made. Ben Franklin who used to run a newspaper down East years ago, also edited ah almanac which contained some wise sayings. Here is one of them: l' "The way to wealth, if you desire It, Is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words Industry and frugality. He that gets all he can honestly , and saves all he gets (necessary expenses excepted) will certainly become rich." What Ben said was not only true at that time, but it still holds good at the present day.
