Whn the walls of Lincoln Hign
achaol have crumbled Into historic dust
and Its prrsent studrnts grown Into
wtute-halred. or no-balred. but n
erabie old gentlemen, they'll still
' mouthing with fondest recollections or
tba time they showed Portland folk
bow to pull off a real live, up-to-tne-mlucte
minstrel ahow. For they cer
tainly did that, and more, last even
ing at tba Bungalow Theater. Just a
handful, well a double handfull of boy
frans the Lincoln High put the ahow
on all by themselves, every speck of It
except making their wearing apparel.
Jf they had been given time tbey would
have done that. too.
Edgar B. Piper. Jr.. and Mandeil
Wales were the chefs who concocted
tba ebony dish and after they baJ pat
In tba rich stuffing John E. Frank. In
tba role of stage director, baked It Into
a aavorlness for them.
Aadleae " Taeater.
Last evening It waa aerved before an
audience that for size threatened to
burst the seama of the Bungalow, and
for enthusiasm out-rivalled a bunch of
fana yelling for their home team. As
a general rule the home-grown variety
of minstrel show la a case of tha In
discreet rushing la where angela fear
to tread. And nearly every lodge, or
der and what-not society grabs a mln
atrel show aa the best meana of show
ing off Individually and collectively Ita
members, no matter what their pre
vloas condition ot servitude or strata of
histrionic ability might be or might not
be. That is why the traditions about a
minstrel show not bearing tba trade
mark of Primrose or at least Lew Dook
atader, not being tha real "pajenza
waa mercilessly slaughtered last even
ing and burled with no flowers.
Tba Lincoln High mlnstreia made
very other local affair of Its nature
look like a large cry for succor. This
Isn't fulsome flattery, and those who
don't believe It can go thia afternoon
or tbla evening and prove It to their
en everlasting satisfaction.
All Traditions Fellewed.
From the first splash of merry mu
sic, made by their own orchestra, to
" tba fail of the final curtain, raised and
lowered by tbelr own stagehands, the
entertainment In every way waa worthy
of Ita name. In true regulation style,
according to all the established rules
of mlnatreldom. since tbe days when
Ham and his family gave the original
one. this one departed not from tha
primer of rules.
First came tha ensemble, with Ita
dingy gents. Its end men -and Its Inter
locutor, followed by tbe plantation ex
travaganza. In Just this and no more
tha boye followed tha path. First of
ail everyone of them waa letter per
fect In bis role, no hitches or alarm
log halts occurred, and the whole pro
duction whirled along with a marathon
glide that fairly dasxled. There wasn't
one awkward situation or lapse of
memory, everything and everybody
dovetailed beautifully Into a harmon
ious whale.
Clarence Toung. -In evening dress,
with a gay red ribbon across his chest
that made him look like a poster of
Prince Someone In the back of a mag
a sine, was the distinguished interlocu
tor. Ranged on either side of him In
a seml-clrcle. were the "dlnges. clad
in . Immaculate white, from shoes to

nothing so much as sticks of striped

The opening chorus by the "entire
company consisted of a tuneful med
ley of popular airs, sung with a swing
and dash that set folks' feet a-tapplng
silently. Then Russell Case and Fran
cis Provost stepped out and parodied
They're All Good American Names.
substituting Instead tha cognomens of
teachers and "profs." In rapid turn
followed solo by Prank Shea. Jerome
L. Holsman. Mandeil Weiss and Robert
Fink. Bill Forties, Edgar Ilper and
Richard Case, esch one Introducing
various bits of tarpalchore and gener
eusly responding to demands for re
calls. Between each solo was sand
wiched "Jokes. Jibes and Joshes, to
Quota the programme. And they were
new Jokes, bright Jibes and "classy
Joshes, told Inimitably by the four end
men. and extremely mirth-provoking.
Aa a finale ot the first section, a trav
esty on band-directing was given by
"Madame Pascal. an nnprogrammea
comedian, who acted as -a curtain
dropper, with her baton wildly beating
and the end men hammering tor dear
Ufa en drums.
Aa Intermission waa followed by a
particularly attractive number. a
couple of songs and a dance or two by
Frank Shea and a mighty pretty little
maid named Pauline Helntx. They did
it so well the audience thought they
were professionals that tn, tha part
of the audience who didn't know they
wrra students.

Then followed tha piece de resistance
a cleverly put together hodgepodge
of witty lines, ludicrous situations and
catchy songs, set to the title at ''Deli
cate Dinah." Edgar Piper wrote tha
words ot both the sketch and Ita prin
cipal song, which was set to rausio
composed by Miss Constance -Piper.
Given aa a solo, with danca steps to
accent its delightful melody, and with
a chorus of duky belles and beaux,
Mr. I'tper'a rendition ot the song waa
one of tbe real big rlota of the even
ing. The two verses and chorus of
"Delicate Dinah are aa follows:
(mi sing ef beanttfal maiden.
Of exquisite baauty and crac.
Pot thr ail must acknowledge my Dinah
la tt fairest by fr of her rsre.
Her fame is both strong and substantial;

In the extravaganxa a touch of real

of Popular Government La
Folletta Grills TrniU.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. I Woodrow
Wilson. Governor of New Jersey, and
Tnlted States Senator La Folletta, of
Wisconsin, were tha guests of honor
and principal apeakers at the seventh
annual banquet of tha Periodical Pub
lishers' Association of America here to
night. Don C. Seltxt of the American Pub
lishers' Association, was toastmaster.
Other speakera wera Mayor Blanken
burg and Detective W. J. Burns.
Mort than 600 of the leading pub
lishers, writers and editors of the
monthly and weekly magaxlnea were
present. Colonel George Harvey, of
Harpera Weekly, was a guest, but he
and Governor Wilson wera at widely
separated tables.
Both Governor Wilson and Senator
La Folletta spoke on tha'Problem of
Popular Government
Correetloaa Are Needed.
Governor Wilson said that while, ha
la a firm believer in the representative
form of government, yet when It ceases
to represent the people some other form
must be found to correct It.
There are two theories of governy
men." he said. "There are aome peo
ple who believe that those who have
tba biggest material stake In the de
velopment of the country should guide
Ita government. I have heard many
a speechmaker in the last few months
who did not Include himself when
speaking of the people."
He quoted at length from the bill of
rtghta to show that all power waa
vested tn and consequently derived
from the people, even before tha Con
stitution 'waa adopted.
People SeekJasT Meaaa.
"In state after state." ha said, "whora
tha Legislature will not act for them,
tha people are seeking a means of re
covering the direct power of the com
mon Judgment."
"Progreasiveness means not getting
caught standing still when everything
else is moving." declared Mr. Wilson.
"Our whole buslnesa system has
changed but our laws have not
changed."
Senator La Follette In his address
said that organisation of combinations
had Increased from 1898 to 1!0S, from
I.?4.000,000 to I31."2. 000,000. Ha
gar as a panacea for this condition
tbe amendment of the Sherman law In
which he urged the enactment of spe
cific prohibition against well-known
practices that constitute unreasonable
restraint of trade.
Trasts Are Scared.
"One of these," ha said, "is the brutal
method of the Standard Oil Company
of cutting pricea In any place where
there Is a competitor In order to kill
him off. while keeping up prices In
other places. Another Is the club
wielded by the tobacco trust, which put
tire Jobbers In the position that unlese
they refrained from buying ot a com
petitor they could not get from tha
trust the brands which wera Indispens
able to tha euccessful conduct of their
business."
He also said there was need or a
commission to "stand between the peo
ple and the courts In order to investi
gate the facts and prohibit all unrea
sonable restraints not specifically de
scribed In the law."

" I can cheerfully recommend your remedies, especially
your ' Favorite Prescription,' for all female disorders,1, writes
Mrs. M. M. Morrkix, of Bluff City, Tenn., Route 2. "During
the past seven years 1 suffered from pains in the back ana
ovaries. Tried many remedies but found only transient
relief until I-was persuaded by a friend to try Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. After giving this remedy a fair trial.
I found that it would do lust what it is recommended to
do. I used in all seven bottles. I cannot speak too highly
of Dr. Pierce's remedies for all female derangements."
