Clyde Fitch In Smart Set. The great play, of course, Js the ono that appeals to both .the mind and the heart. Certain great men have done.thls. Certain other great men have done naif; then their .appeal Is halved. They satis fy the Intellectual on one side and the Test on the other. Shakespeare did It all Moil ere almost certain Germans' a great Seal. Today, Ibsen, with his won- derful fundamental Ideas, pleases the In telligent crowd,, bores -the romanticists and angers the beauty lover with his lack of all but intellectual beauty, Maeter linck drugs the senses and delights the mina, ana puzzies tne popular opinion, and outrages the conventional attitude. Hauptmann and Sudermann satisfy and stimulate the intelligence-, and put a cog wheel in the box office I am writing, it must be understood, purely of American audiences. This Is the audience that the manager dearly loves and the erudite critic fights. It -is a composite gathering, difficult to please from ail points or viewi a gatner ing anxious to be amused, satisfied fo.be interested- willing to ba moved, but ab solutely intolerant of being bored. I think it would rather, in the bulk, be en tertained by a worthy medium than an unworthy, and it stops to differentiate Just about that much. At any rate lfs sincere, this audience, which is more than I dan cay for some of Its man agers, actlrs actresses and authors. It says frankly in effect that it wants to be entertained, interested: lrin an artistic way, so much the better as witness the great triumph always of good plays ar tistically done: But it will not be bored by "art for art's sake," if that art Is buncombe" and really art for business sake! This audience is, to use a slang term, "fly." Moreover. Jt does not pre tend It Is the ideal audience. It openly confesses there is the big Intellectual play, for some, .but not for all of it. It only asks for Itself to choose what It "wants. - In return it gives you an honest) medium to worK upon, generous in lis approval and applause when It gets what It wants. I feel myself very strongly the particu lar value a value which, rightly or wrongly, I can't help feeling, inestimable In a modern play of reflecting absolute ly and truthfully the life and environ ment about "us; every class, every kind, every emotloii, every motive, every oc cupation, every business,' every Idleness! Never was life so varied, so complex; what a- choice, then! Take what strikes you most in the hope It will Interest others.

In several of the larger cities of the East there 4s a growing sentiment for re form In church music. As & rule this sen timent is founded op alleged concert pro grammes, wnicn give an unecciesiasucai tone to the service The chief accusa tion Is that music In many of the wealth ier churches Is becoming less and less an Integral part of divine worship and Is de teriorating into a form of secular enter tainment. Those communicants who were reared in the good, old form of congrega tional worship, where all Joined in the solemn and inspirational hymns see In the modernizing influences -a tendency inim ical to true religious fervor. Some even go to the extent of charging that modern church music is not only Inappropriate and harmful, but maudlin and cheap. That there is some ground for this" agi tation must be admitted. It is a common thing nowadays for church committees to advertise their musical programmes and "star" their soloists. Churches vie with each other in engaging soloists and other musicians. Some congregations go to the extent of maintaining regular orchestras. The critics claim that these churches use the columns of the newspapers as fully as possible with a view of drawing out a large " attendance. Basei upon, this claim is the statement that the smaller and more humble churches are drawn upon to contribute the audiences. They can not compete with their more prosperous fellows, either because tbey are unable to maintain a brilliant musical equip ment, or, which frequently is the case, the members prefer io be unprogresslve, and adhere more closely to the traditions of a more simpleform of worship. It "Is well within the memory of- most men and women of today when the ren dition of music in churches was primitive and of beautiful solemnity. The choir of the old days was about the extent of the Investment, and the original object of this choir was not one of entertainment, but as a leader in the congregational singing, The members gave their services without pay, and what few solo numbers there were merely filled In necessary pauses In the service. In the old days the lusty voice of friend and neighbor mingled in "Old Hunger, "Coronation" and "Rock oi Ages. Tne enect or tms congrega tlonal singing was to, promote good fel lowship, comfort distressed spirits and en gender a proper humility to imbibe the Word. There has been a pronounced change. While congregational singing has not disappeared in churches where it was ever a part of the service, it has become of less and. less Importance. Professional vocalists are now featured, and before their superior performance the average congregation stands in awe and will not enter Into competition. En the minister of today in the modernized church is somewhat In the background. In his hum ble enthusiasm to expound the faith he Is often obliged to yield' to the dominating attractiveness of the musicians. Dfscour president; stcdknt-body of willamette university.

But there are many people of religious convictions who must admit that aTteform In music Is needed at least to the extent of Insisting that what music there is should neither de grade religion by want of artistic value nor usurp the real purpose of divine wor ship. .

A girl who. can ride a bicycle with ease, .grace and dignity, without too much agitation and nullification of her drapery, presents a spectacle that ,1s pleasing to an lovers of the beautiful. A girl who has mastered all of the Xoregolng accomplishments is prepared to display herself to the very best advantage before the eyes of the. public at all times But these requirements are to the girl Just what varnish-.

Zogbeam In Century. While It Is true that the mariner Is- no longer dependent, upon his skill and ability to handle and move tils ship by means of a force of Nature he cannot control, and though human Ingenuity has given him a machine combining In Its mechanism the forces of the air, the Are and the lightning, enabling 'it to come and go by day or night wherever there is water enough under the keel to float Jt, the sea ever remains the same, and the domination over Its mighty power will always bo the problem of him who goes down to It. The same stoutness of heart, the same quickness of brain, the" same skill In reading current and tide, the same resourceful readiness under all con ditions of wind and wave, fog, storm or battle, that have so conspicuously marked the achievements of the American naval seaman of the past must today meet tests of seamanship as rigid in their re quirements as ever before. All of the ship's company machinist, fireman or coalpaeser down where the engines throb and thrust; yeoman, stew ard and messman in the narrow ammuni tion passages below; marine In military eon, was born at Macksbunr, Clacka mas Counts', Or., May 15, 16T9. His birthplace was named In honor of hit grandfather, a pioneer ' of C2, who now resides at Canby, Or. Ha grad uated from the Stayton High School at 15, and then entered Mineral Springs College, where "he completed the' lit erary course In 1S9S, being valedicto rian of a lass of 20. Mr. Mack began teaching in the Fail of 183S. He taught, in the Willamette Valley until the Spring of 1001, when he came to Grant County, where he has since taught. His work as vice principal of the Prairie City Schools last year was so satisfactory that he was voluntaWy tendered the principal ship, which position he now eminently fills. Mr. Mack has & remarkable influence over his pupils, and possesses the happy faculty of creating in their minds the same ambition for knowl edge that he has. He was granted a life diploma last June, and intends to make teaching bis life work; top and battery; every soul on board. each In his way forma the units of the fighting whole; all must face alike with equal courage and devotion the danger and terror of battle. But it is on the trained skill of the seaman he who mans the ship's weapons on gundeck. In tur ret and torpedo-room; who manages and navigates, directs and controls every movement or his craft, battleship or crui ser, torpedo-boat or submarine that mainly depend the triumph of -victory,' the safety and security of vessel and crew.

While op almost any of the big ships may still be found some sturdy survivors of the old navy some level-headed, oaken hearted master-at-arms; some hard-fist ed, seaworn chief quartermaster: soma canny, handy gunner's or carpenter's mate, for, anomalous as It may seem, the carpenter and his mates still have their hands full of work even on the newest of steel chips the youth of the creat mass of the crews Is apparent even to the casual visitor; and while some of the disadvantages of youth may be evident in. our young man-of.-warsman, take him by and large htf is an excellent product of the conditions of naval life of the present day. WELFARE MANAGES." Title of Intermediary Between Em ployer and Employe. Llllie Hamilton French, in Century. Within the last few years there has been created In the Industrial. world an office now known as that of the welfare manager. It should not be forgotten, however, that this term was Invented to fit an office already In existence, and that it was not so Invented until much valu able work of a pioneer character had been accomplished. This manager, who mavb either a man or a woman, lsvSrecognized inter mediary betweeh-the employers and em ployes of mercantile houses and manu facturing plants which possess any pre tensions to size and importance. Such a person represents the choice of an em ployer who would Introduce among his employes improved and more favorable conditions, but who, hampered as he is by the complex ramifications of the in dustrlal and social world of today, and unable to attend personally to every de- tali, linos nimself obliged to summon to his aid" the services of. an Intermediary Between himself and those in his employ. It is the employer, not the employe, who nas cnoscn this Intermediary and out lined the scope of he manager's work. At the same time, in order that his owu purposes may not be defeated by the presence of too much friction in his es tablishment, he has been at pains, when making his choice, to respect the senti ments and prejudices, and sometimes even the' dignities, of his employes. In one case coming under my observation has he failed to remove a welfare man ager unaoie to preserve uie narmonies. For such a manager. It must be under stood. Is unlike a superintendent or a foreman, and has no. direct authority in the business, nor power to engage or to dismiss an employe. Something Doing in Victoria. Victoria (B. C.)

Shoemake Had Given Farm to Oliver Sargeant In Return- for Care During the Rest of His Life. . GRANT'S PASS, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) A cold-blooded murder was committed "about two miles from Williams Postoffice this morning by W. R. .Shoemake, who shot and killed Oliver Sargeant, his son-in-law. Shoemake and his wife, who arc about 70 years of age, live in a little house adjoin ing the Sargeant home, and the Sargeants were providing" for the., wants of the old folks In return for the farm having been given over to them. There has been more or less trouble -ever since the farm was turned over, and last nlgnt there was an other quarrel. This morning Sargeant took the break fast for the old folks into the house, and when he turned to leave, Shoemake shot him lb. the back with a revolver that he bad secured, the ball passing entirely through his body. Sargeant lived 'only an hour and a. half after the shooting oc curred. The Coroner and the Sheriff were noti fied and went to Williams, the' Sheriff re turning to Grant's Pass tonight with Shoemake in custody. The old man has for some time past been considered by many as insane at times, but nothing was ever done about it- Sargeant was about 45 years old, and left a wife and several children. LABOR OF CONVICTS. Contract System Advocated by the Superintendent. SALEM. Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) "I am of the opinion .that the contract system of employing convict labor will be found most satisfactory"," said Prison Superin tendent C. W. James. Mr. James has just returned from San Francisco, where he visited the State Prison of San Quentln. "uaniornia is operaung a jute mm tor the. manufacture of grain bags, and I was told that convict labor is thus employed at an 'enormous expense' to the state. I did not get figures, but learned that. the prison authorities are not satisfied with the results obtained by this method, of employing the convicts." There having been at several times agl tation in Oregon In favor of the state establishing a jute mill at the Oregon Penitentiary, Mr. James was asked for bis opinion of this project. "I think It would be very poor policy," he replied. "In the first place, it .would cost a very large sum of money to put In a plant for the manufacture of jute bags. Then I learned that the prison authorities in California have had great trouble . In disposing of their product in competition with bags imported from Calcutta. The bags find not only a slow sale, "but a sale at figures which allow no profit on the convict labor. "The advantage of the contract, system Is that the state knows In advance what it will get for its convict labor, and whatever Is recelved..s profit. Under the present system a private individual man ages the business and takes the chances of finding a profitable .market for the products. The state receives a return for the labor in any event. "A few years ago the convict labor of the California prison was employed in manufacturing furniture, and I am In formed that the state received a good re turn for the labor. But there was a loud popular clamor against using convict labor In competition with free labor, and at last the board of control acceeded to the popular wish and abandoned the fur niture factory. They are very sorry now that they listened to the clamor. Instead oi zojiowing tneir own judgment. "Convict labor has been used on the pub He roads In California about the same as it has been here, but on no more extensive a scale. They sometimes send out a gang of 20 to. 25 men to work on a road near the state institutions, where they can be kept at the prison at night, but do not attempt to work prisoners at a distance. I very much doubt whether'it will be found prac ticable to work convicts aUa distance from the prison. A satisfactory plan for work ing convicts on the roads might be devised but the details of the plan would require" careful study, and even then I thlnR It might be found more expensive to build roads Tsith convict labor than with free labor. I believe that kind of work is about as good as any for the convicts, f6r they like the work In the open air and It Is healthful for them. But working a con siderable number of convicts outside the prison walls would require the employ men": of many guards and the purchase or hiring of a number of" teams and the pur chase of road machinery. Our experience with convict labor on the roads near the prison was satisfactory. "We have one advantage over the prison authorities at San Quentln in having quite a large penitentiary farm where we raise feed for our stock and vegetables for the prisoners. We need more land than we have, however. At San Quentln they have very little land and must buy practically everything they consume "The system of rewards and punish ments at San Quentln is different from ours. They have a system of merits for good behavior the same as we have, ex cept that the California convict is given a little more credit on his term of impris onment for good behavior than is allowed here. They have no "trusty system by which --men earn double time. There really Is no authority of law for our trusty sys tem, but we are using It with good re sults. They have no corporal, punishment at San Quentln,. while we have what we call the 'cold-water cure' here. Wd have abol ished flogging but sometimes punish a man by turning a stream of cold water on him. In .California they use the strait-jacket a great deal as a means of punishment In disobedient prisoners. They also have the dungeon, as we have here, but the strait-jacket Is their fa vorite means of punishment. The strait jacket Is a heavy; canvas cloth which is wrapped around a man and laced up be hind, so as to pinion his arms and legs. The man thus restrained Is left lying on the floor or. on a cot, where he must keep one position .until released. He Is unable to move even to the extent of rolling over. I understand they seldom keep a man In the strait-jacket over 48 hours, but In one case at least a man was kept, thus pinioned for 100 hours; They flpd it a very 9 s Learn to say " Pears' " when you .ask for soap.

"No, I have no present intention of In troducing the strait-jacket in the Oregon penitentiary." Superintendent James found that al though the California prison building is bur little larger than that In Oregon, they have 1E00 prisoners confined, while Oregon has only.about 330. At San Qusntln four or five men are kept in a cell, while Only two are confined In each cell here, and there are a number ot vacant cells; SUICIDE OF DR. GAGEN.

The Race Issue In the South. The completion of registration in Louisiana reveals that state as the sol!de3t In the solid South. The total Is: White voters registered, 102,723; colored voters teglstered, 1147. As only those who registered can vote at the coming election, it will be "seen that white su premacy has been established with a ven geance In Louisiana. How this arrange ment affects the consent of the governed theory of government becomes apparent when it is remembered that of the popu lation of the state in 1900, 729,612 were wnites and 650.S04 negroes. The 1147 ne groes who represent their race will, of course, realize the futility ot showing op position to anything the 102.723 whites- may propose. And yet we are told that It is President Roosevelt who has raised the race issue in the South Transcript. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. G J Luska, San Fran "W F Emens.
