A movement has begun In the East, .'. fchlch It Is expected will extend throughout the country, to Improve the tone of the modern drama. The move tnent In this Instance Is In the hands of the friends of the theatrical profession, and that is the earnest that It will . eventually attain success. . Everyone of normal morality will , endorse the proposal to elevate the tone of the dramatic productions to which the people listen In these days. And there need be no dental of the allega tion that the theatre-goers of the day . ; liave witnessed and . .are . witnessing . constantly things that should be pro scribed by ail . decent people Predicating discussion upon this proposition, let It also be said that the reform of the stags must go hand In hand With the reform of the public. t?baf8""Btfege productions are possible 5 nl?NvKen'the people are willing to see them and will pay for them. The the atrical manager is a caterer. Like the caterer to edible tastes, he supplies what his customers demand. Fads . for certain' dishes will bring those cer tain dishes Into the market. Fads for certain dramatic feasts or orgies, as the case may be, will bring feasts or v orgies into the market. There is a double responsibility in - -this matter. The manager is guilty often of consenting to give obscenity for the reason that "there's money in . It, and business is business." He fre Quently makes himself party to the purveying of vile stuff that it is not fit ..for drunken people to hear.- He be comes pne of a conspiracy that has as Its object the corruption of morals and V the destruction of good character of young people. Suggestlveness, pro . t anity, coirjedy presentations of drunk" , enness in . manner to make light of It, coarseness, all these find place in many productions, that wpuld be prop - erly ruled Out by all decent people. Then comes the class of actors, who Believe that it is not their duty to re list downward tendencies, because it would injure the commercial character . of .their, services, and make work less profitable. This Is the professional side of the double responsibility, but there Is an other, that of the public which patron izes improper stage productions. And reform of the drama must come when both parties the professionals and . the patrons) come to look upon life as ., something else than a period of exist ence during which one must make alf Of the money he may. - It - would fce incomplete reasoning were tne play-writer to be omitted from the list. He too, owes a duty to ' public morality. It is scarcely to be doubted that he is the worse one in the combination that so often puts forth vileness and filth under the dis- - guise of pretended art, for he must construct the machine whereby the , thoughts of the youth are to be pois oned and their moral sensibility dead- , ened. He Is, when he engages in such , ; work, to be classed only with a certain - unmentionable sort of human beings Who live otf the sin of others. However, close-observers will con , cede, that Improvement already takes place; the unutterable slush that has ' been poured over the country during -1 en.Lj.L.J pro fusely, and one is now much safer in - accompanying ladle and children to : the theatre than "he was a very, few years ago. This improvement gives '"Joy o everyone who cares for the good T the generation.

' ; Today tlie Irrigation Congress U in session. It Is one of the means whereby there is to be debate over the best methods to bring Into produc tion the vast areas of arid lands that are witbin the State of Oregon. Oregon has engaged .only In desultory discussion of the measures that should be adopted to accomplish' this desired object. There is little gen eral knowledge of the possibilities of ignorant of the conditions obtaining the state; Scarcely anyone in Western Oregon appreciates the future that may ' coma to the commonwealth der water. These meetings ore as much to as for the purpose of deciding technical points or disseminating scientlc in- formation. As discussion proceeds, it will Portland at this time remember munities conjoined geographically, the one to the other. During former years, there has truth. In politics, especially, there position on the part of Western Oregon to regard Eastern Oregon's claims as impertinent, if they went to the length of asking recognition upon a basis commensurate with population and Western Oregon will be wise if it gon Is growing with wonderful rapidity. Nearly every town east from the Cascades has doubled In population during the past few years, most of them since the 1900 eensus. Available lards are being taken up, have indeed, been taken up. far back into the mountains. show, with consequently high values lands close to streams from which water may be taken easily are worth large aums per acre. The mines of .the eastern part of than people generally know. Tet the people of the western part of the state scarcely yet believe that there Is anything more substantial than the tails of the boomer. In every particular, Eastern Oregon is growing faster than Western Oregon, and will, at present rate, equal and then exceed Western Oregon in population and tax-paying, before 'so The day has gone, too, when Eastern Oregon may be referred to as a land only of cowboys and Sbeepherders. The people of that portion of the state are enterprising, prosperous, advanced In modern thought, up-to-date in business methods, and have attained quite as high a state of mental culture as have the residents of the counties west from the mountains. One may travel through towns of the same perhaps find the comparison Inclining the essentials of twentieth century Eliminate Portland from the cities of the state, and those remaining will. not exhibit a preponderance of doslrablllty in favor of the west of the mountains region'. Portland, naturally, with greater population and wealth, attracts some things that make it metropolitan and therefore what no other city in the state may be. But, outside this city the state has no better por tion than that which lies east from is improving every year. , The discussion of irrigation methods will result in K'"md to the common wealth. But, as It proceeds, let not truths herein-set forth. Western Oregon may watch Eastern Oregon with. profit In the watching. The latter is politically, industrially, and almost PROSPEROUS CLUB JOURNAL. The Club Journal, under the skilled guidance of Mabel Williams Plowman, editor, is succeeding in filling a field that seldom is filled in any plate. The Club Journal is ao aggressive force in directing public expression of thought among club women.

Will the state undertake this work so fully mapped out In recent conven tions and discussion.? Will road laws be chanared so that more nubile funds can be applied to road building? Will j private Individual taxpayers be further levied upon to prosecute this work? It must be done. We have arrived at that stage of business determination in the .prosecution of such matters, when niovements of this magnitude do not effuse us to hesitate. But how will it be done? Tennessee works her convicts in the coal mines of. that state. It has i proven to be a profitable and very satisfactory undertaking. Might not Oregon .be benefited by this one example? Might not the Oregon ' convict be utilized to improve the roads of the state? It is a practical method? Will it pay? Will it save an additional levy upon road districts ? - These questions ire before the public. NO LONGER A MAN.

Editor Journal: "A man'H a man for a" that." and I do not believe h body of M PCN would ever organise a club with the motto, "War against the fair sex." This absolute rot about "tired laboring man and clerk" having to give up seats in a street car for girl or matron has been thrashed out so many times that one be comes as tired reading it as the clerk. Now, this talk of mine is going to be short, but as a woman, and a mother, it is to be pointed. '"Tfe'er ifitd rise the morning tmn ' But found the woman working. And never when the evening came Was mother seen 'a-lurklng.' " Now, It does not matter about mother wanting a scat in a car, nor a slater or a sweetheart for that matter, foi I do not believe there Is one time in a housand that a man is start-d out of countenance by any female. But let me say this, and 1 believe It to be true, if u:.y onu of the men who have formed the club which will "keep them from hanging on the strap." should see their mother, state- or dear one enter a ear they would ilve that wo man or girl a seat, and would thank any other man tor dilng th mm.i Oh. how tired is a woman sometimes!

It was persistently rumored last even ing that the steamer Alliance of the Gray Steamship Company's fleet, met with a disaster while en route to California ports. The source from which the rumor sprang, or .ne nature of the alleged ca lamity, could not be learned. It proved to be false, however. The Alliance arrived safe at Eureka. Cal., last night. Before leaving here she ran Into the steel bridge and dismantled her foremast, as well aa doing other slight damage. After making temporary re '. pairs she started on her voyage.

EMPLOYES HOPE FOR INCREASE The 'Southern Patffurto Expect Larger Wages. Southern Pacific officials aro la daily conference with one another regarding the demands of employes for Increased wages. After the San Francisco officials shall have finished their deliberations the results will be forwarded to President Harriman. The fact that the machinists of. the Union Pacific and other railroad men In different parts of the country have been granted an Increase Is taken as a sure indication that the present demands will be acted upon.

The fact wa developed Ihat henceforth there must be the impossible mmg two premiers of minstrelsy. oeorge Wilson has held the office for these many years. His mime has become the synonym of humnr. nnd of late he nas naa merely to 'make an - appearance, whereupon everyone laushed. It has been somewhat like the can xt of humor ous lecturers of the clasn of Bill Nye or til rerKlns. People lauahed because they .were expected to laugh, and because they aiways iaugnea when those funny men appeared before them. Mr. Wilson earned his reputation many years ago. Ha has held it undisputed. and deserved the reputation. Nowadays. pernaps ne may be excused for relaxing somewhat in his vigilance and it may be that he Is not unnaturally drawing upon ma reserve fund of reputation. .Nevertheless, he is very funny, and will always be very .funny. Bert Bwor, announced as another pre mier, certainly Is a rival of Oonre Wll son, although they are as different from each other as night from day. Swor gained as much applause us was given Wilson last night. Pirron Somers, one of the endmen. is a Portland boy, and wus called back several times after slnglnif ine ciiorus work of th- singers was as usual better than that ut Uu- soloists. There are very few people in the world who should be permitted to sing solos There should be a law against it, ex cepting when It la necessary to save life, or in some such emergencv But the ciiorus singlnK last night was good, the particular excellence being in the foundation of deep. rich, vibrant basso, and the exceeding wide range at times between the second basses and the high tenors, always effective in male chorus work. Young Brothers, acrobats, were excel lent features, as were the Swor Brothers In sinking and dancing, and the enter tainment In its ensemble is Just what all Iomis of black-face comedy want. There are moments of fun when one is con- vulsed with UVughter.so violently that he, welcomes an interim of mediocrity by the actors, in which to rest. v "Contented Woman" Is a Hit At the Baker Theatre "A Contented Woman." -the Hoyt. farce, is makfna a deemed1 Kft'. 1 ""There" "was a- very -large Monday night audience and sales show that the remainder of the week will be big business. - Miss Countlsa, who has the title role, Is achieving added honors at every per formance. Her Grace, Holme last night was better than on Sunday, when it was excellent. The Comedy ..of the piece Is bright and calculated to hold interest, and the company without exception is giving highest uatisfaetlon. "Pennsylvania" '6raws Well. "Pennsylvania" Is drawing well at Cor- dray's- and Is pleasing the people gener ally. It Is a piece that calls for stage settings showing mines and permitting explosions and there are thrilling melo dramatic scenes in which brave men step forward and r. buke cowardly men and save trusting women, so as to win abun dant applause from the gallery. Indeed. from all parts of the house. "Pennsyl vania" will do a good business this week. MANAGERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS. Joseph Arthur In "Lost River." To be able to repreduce the actual life of small communities- is rare. Lost Kiver Valley folk are a quaint class, and Joseph Arthur seems to nave hit a happy medium In not burlesquing his types or making them flabby and Innocuous. His latest play. "Ixst River," touches on the labor question, glances off to society folk and anon introduces tender love scenes and. homely Indiana, gossip. .finly,.Jp, jumj? quicKiy onwaru 10 a spienotu storm effect during which the ride for life on wheels takes place. Then comes the wild thun der of three thoroughbreds' hoofs down the Baden Pike to the tollgate. This is succeeded by a rural homely scene of love, peace and contentment, which en genders human sympathy and touches the heart. The quartet of hoboes, the sheep, the fine thoroughbred horses, the hives of bees, pumpkins, melons, apples and picturesque reproduction of the beautiful Indiana 3cenery are all conducive to the atmosphere of rural simplicity. The dia logue of quaint Hoosler pathos pes sesses many amusing phases. There are many changes from laughter unto tears, as the beautiful pathos of the little hero ine who loves so loyally and risks her life so bravely to save her lover goes home to the hearts of her audience. 'Lost River will be played at Cordray's for one entire week, beginning Sunday matinee, November ;3. . "Hearts of Oak." A treat la in srnro for the rtfltrrtna nf the Harquam Opera House next Monday and Tuesday nights, When James A. Heme's famous play, "Hearts of Oak," is to be produced in a lavish scenic manner and with a specially selected company. This play, which gave the author his in spiration for "Shore Acres," has crowded every theater in which It has been pro duced this season and under the direction of Mrs. James A. Heme Is proving one of dramatic season. The-company, whlcb 1 appeared last week at the California The ater in San Francisco, drew crowded houses in that theater. The San Francisco' Call, in reviewing the production, said: The star performer of Heme's good old play, "Hearts of Oak," at the California this week, is a soft, dimpled, cooing little bunch of babyhood that had last night's audience completely at her tiny toes. The young lady's big scene, tat which she Is tossed like a meal sack from one per former to another, is a triumph. She per mits one actor to play "Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man." with" neT wltb "the most sublime good nature imaginable; goes off over the shoulder of another with her little heel in the air as if that were the position de luxe (or babias, and very properly whimpers a bit when her papa sayt "I am r-r-rulned." She touched the by no means hard-hearted audlencerthatl follows the Heme play In 1 its tendertst spot, and the honors are With the baby. After her attractive tyro feet two ta an other very taking child performer, Leona Evans, who does the usual Heme child with unusual skill. The others of the company are all reasonably competent, W.'

Goodwin's famous eomedy, by Henry Guy CaMeton. will b th. of. fering at the Baker Theater next week, beginning with Sunday matinee, by the Weill Stock Company. This nlav la the one in which Mr. Goodwin mad such an Immense artistic as -well as financial success, and is one in which the mem bers of the NeUl stock Company will appear to exeellent advantage, like aU 4 Ham tSBuStaMOtakakaH s a. a . .an, G Mm.--."prenaldunlUe; ior eiaoorste dressing and stage set tinea, and., aa has 1 .....4 ,M nast. the nerforman i ih. cv. .in I always be moat comnlata n th,. a- snects as well aa artiatlMllv.

The popularty of last season's comedy sucess, "Hunting for Hawkins," shows no signs of abatement, and it is certainly a compliment to the efforts of the man agement to note that this season's pro duction is meeting with most flattering support of both the preaa and public. As Is seldom the case wltn second sea son's casta, the management have this season strengthened, instead of allowing to depreciate, the excellence of the pro duction. For every role the management have secured artists that are pre-eminently fitted for the part, and the re sult is a perfect organisation and one which can hold Its own with any comedy company on the road today. When "Hunting for Hawkins" comes to Cord- ray s Thursday, Friday and Saturday matinee and evening, November 20, 21 and 12, It will furnish the very best comedy attraction that bas visited this city for many a day. A wide awake, quick, merry and comic production, "Aiphon.se and Gaston ' is described to be. It will be seen here for j the first time at the Marque m Grand Theatre tomorrow (Wednesday) night. It was after long negotiation that the D. E. Lester company, under whose di rection the production Is made, obtained. above all other competitors, the exclu sive privilege of dramatization from Artist F. Opper and William R. Hearst, the owner of the copyright. The con ditions of the agreement were that only I a first-class company should be employed In its Interpretation and that Its the atrical embellishment should be refined in every detail. These conditions were made necessary because the comic pictures of Alphonse and Gaston are still current in Mr. Hearst's publications and should they be made offensive in any way on the , stage, they would probably deprecTate In value as the leading comic feature of his newspapers. This promise made by the management has been fulfilled in every sense nnd "Alphonse and Gaston" will be found to be one of the most enjoyable of all the plays based upon humorous situations and comic characters that have, been seen this season, in order ,u live up iu meir ugreviiiviii. a msi-i:iiu company of comedians, singers and specialty artists are engaged in the In terpretation of this musical farce; 'with a large chorus the company numbers 40 people on the stage. The costumes are all very haaulsome. the scenery is com plete and elaborate and the general en semble is one of excellence in brilliancy and color effects. Joe Natus, who is this season playing the character of "Bllnky BUI" in The Belle of New York," which comes to the Marquam next Thursday. Friday and Saturday, resides at St. James. Long Island, in the Summer, which . Is a well known resort for numerous actors. Among the happy throng who reside there are Willie Collier, Jerome Sykes, Joe Hart. Roger Brothers, Joe Coyne. Pete Daily, Lew Dockstader and many others. They are continually playing practical Jokes on one another. The following is an actual occurrence: Mr. Natus stopped at the corner gro cery store and inquired: "Have you got any watermelons on Ice?" "No, sir," replied the young man with the eye glasses. Mr. Natus was about to go when the young man behind the counter stopped him. "We haven't any melons on Ice"," he said, "but we have some under ice. It keeps them cooler that way. Heat rises and cold descends, you know. Will one be enough?'" reckon it will," rejoined .Mr.. Natus, "but I'm going somewhere else to get it. I don't believe1 I can afford to trade at a grocery store where tney keep" scien tists for clerks. Afternoon, sir." The clerk In question happened to be Willie Collier, the well-known comedian, who, with a peculiar make-up, was un known to Joe Natus. That night everybody at St. James was drinking and smoking at Joe Natus' expense. "Name o' kings!" ruefully ejaculated Deacon Shlnpaw as he sat up. at a dis tance of 23 feet from the spot whereon he had but a moment before been stand ing, and caressed the southwest side of his head solicitously. "It am my solemn cogitation dat I would be wuff a millyun dollahs right now ef I could sell dat dar low-down, ongrateful pusilllferous mule by weight, if de whole blamed varmint weighs in puppo-tlon to his left hind la Iff.

NEW ORLRANS, Nov. lS.-Contrary to expectations, the Gompers investigation wns not taken up when the American Federation of Ijibtrr convention was called to order this morning. The chair announced that the fifth member of the investigating committee, who Is to act as umpire, had not yet been decided upon. The morning session was devoted largely to debate upon the resolution presented by Delegate Berger, of Milwaukee, along socialistic lines. This resolution, if passed, will commit the Federation to favoring a plan for national pensioning of aged and Infirm working people. The committeemen b investigate Shaf fer's charges against Gomphers reported Inabnity to secure the fifth man. Gompera at once took the floor and demanded an immediate investigation.

He as sured the convention that Morgan would f.nd the solid union of the miners facing him and would be compelled to pay liv ing wages whether the mines paid divi dends .or not.
