Roberts argued that be had "not sought
the honor, and, coming unsolicited,
there should be no- such exorbitant fee
exacted by the officials of the court.
It transpires that eves ta ordinary
knight must pay considerable ' money
in fees to court officials, the custom
having- become lex non script in Eng
land. Usually the recipient is able to
pay the fees, and Lord Roberts could
do so, but objects upon principle, for
he has received from the English gov
ernment large sums of money in re
ward for his services in South Africa.
BETTER HAVE MET IORIDE.
James J. Hill would better have met Governor McBride, of the State of
Washington. He was rather ohurllsh, in refusing to do so, and he was
manifestly unwise and unjust when he said that Governor McBride was one
of the men he did not care to come in contact with. It is probably recog
Used as an error, for Mr. Hill's best friends in the State of Washington,
among them Cot Aldea J. Blethen, of the Seattle Tlms, desired that the
governor and merger president confer, or, at least, greet each otherHn a
friendly Interview. " '- "X
If the weople of the State of Washington possess one lota of self -respect,
I they will reaent'the action of Mr. Hill from the Columbia River on the south
,- to the British Columbia line upon the north, and from the boundary line of
( Idaho, and Montse'Vpon ihe east, to where the Paclflo washes the shores
of the, state upon the westT
Governor McBrWe was elected to the lieutenant-governorship by the
- people of Washington, with the full knowledge that he would go up to the
chief executive's ' chair In the event of death or removal of Governor Rog
ers. The- latter died, and Mr. McBride became the governor, As such and
""as a man of personal high standing he is entitled to respect. He deserves
''no audi Insult "as that which was offered; by Mr. Hill, and. the latter has made
. a . serious- mistake by presenting such an affront . '
" James J. Hill 1 trowing old. Apparently, he la growing old very rap
'Idly.; and baa forgotten the courtesies that usually .are inter changed toe
twsen even those whose Interests are at variance. Prominent politicians
do not fall to preserve the amenities when meeting opponents, and fre
quently, always, when governed by good breeding, exemplify the doctrine
that gentlemen may differ, but yet act as gentlemen towards gentlemen.
' Let no man reckon upon strengthening his position by such action. - It
-causes the flush of honest indignation to overspread the countenances of

v NO ROOH FOR IDLERS. ;
Judge Hogue sentenced several young men to jail or to pay fines and
. work them out by the day, for the good and sufficient reason that they were
' merely street loafers. . They resent this action, quite naturally, because they
do jKt realise that it is a social crime to . remain idle when others must
labor to support those who do not contribute their just share to the feeding
. and clothing of the world. Indeed, the vag" law Is on of the most Import-
' ant Upon the statute books. It could be used to expunge from this list of
criminals many a fellow who otherwise easily permits his name to be added
to those who Infract law.
t Who that la idle should not be nunlshed? Only him who ia ill. or who
fo misfortune cannot work. Others should be compelled to work, and fall
ing Voluntarily so to do, the law should step in and Impose upon the lazy,
good for nothing feliows such unpleasant conditions as will make work
more agreeable. '
Judge Hogue may well set up such a rule, and follow It unvaryingly.
"He will sand many a. man to work, who now bangs around questionable re-.-.sorts,

the wheels of industry are humming, the fields are white with the grain of
opportunity, and demand for labor Is greater than the supply!
Consider the man doing nothing, when all self-respecting persons are
working with might and main to add somewhat to the productiveness of
the region, and win for it Its just position in the' forces of the nation!
Let Judge Hogue) continue to find worthless fellows who have nothing
to do, when employers everywhere are troubled only to secure men to do
the work P flaring upon every hand. He will be supported by the representa
tive people of this city. X
. A TRUST'S PROFITS.
The steel trust realizes a greater
profit from Its billion dollars of capi
talisation than- Is produced annually
In the : state of Oregon from farms,
I Orchards, mines, fisheries, livestock
ranges and lumber mills. Oregon pro
f " duced approximately 180,000,000 in
1002. The steel trust reported consid
erably more as profit upon its capital
. the end of JtB first year.
. fSucb, a comparison staggers one. It
appears to have been suggested by the
: Imagination. . . Tet cold figures carry
out the assertion.
. ' The Standard Oil Company secures
more profit from its operations than
the State of Oregon produces. John
CKocke feller :jecel-ea rinuchn ore aa"
his own annual salary- than all of the
people of this state are able to bring
Into the form of tangible wealth dur
ing one whole year's labor. '
Institute another comparison. The
steel trust or the Standard Oil Com
pany have more total profits from a
year of operation than both the State
of Oregon and the State of Washing
ton, with perhaps the state of Idaho
thrown in to make good measure.
How much of these enormous divi
dends declared by the great trusts
. constitute legitimate profit, and how
1 I much 'profit that is not legitimate?
In the first place ihe capitalisation
of these trusts la largely water. The
capitalisation does not represent ac
tual material valuation of plants plus
ranhl Sums addfed to ret-resent
the labor of organization. The profit
possible under the trust regime is pos
sible because of the absolutism of the
t)-ust, Ka ability to control production
.,. in a given line.
)t .It does not result from honest eom
petition for trade.

Henry a. Hayes, the oldest reporter
in Washington, has deserted the post
which he has iQnpr.ed. f or more than. 80
years. He has reached an age that
compejs cessation of his accustomed
toil. Mr. Hayes has been recognised
as one of the most influential writers
In the United States. He was never
an editor, yet he exerted a power that
increased as the year passed, and his
knowledge of the publle men and
methods Of legislation became more
complete. His career Is one that i
raises the reporter into a position of
prominence, and illustrate, the possi
bilities before the man who masters
his detail and labors long and faith
fully to acquit himself creditably- Let
none despise the reporter. He Is the
man who makes the newspapers what
they are. He Is the "man behind the
gun." and the man behind the gun
never receives just reward of appre
ciation. Every wise newspaper man
ager acknowledge the Importance of
his reporters, and knows that as they
are faithful and diligent will his pub
lication be readable and sought by the
masses. " ,

Te the Editor. In this evening's (Sat

comment upon the annoyance caused by
the premature donning of wraps during
the action of a play, and I heartily agree
that It is extremely unpleasant to have
one's view obstructed and one's hearing
interfered with by such thoughtlessness
on the part of others.
No matter bow distasteful this may be.
however. It seems to me a slight offense
when compared with the rude disturbance
caused by tha "amart" nerann whn at.

Cordray's was crowded on Sunday af
ternoon and night "The Irish Pawn
brokers" being the bill, with Bulllvan
and Mack and Mazle Trumbull as the
stellar attractions. The audlenna
evinced considerable dellc.it with th
hilarious fun of the piece, and laughed
from beginnitir ' to end.- It's another -
farce comedy, without plot Individual
song and dance and several numbers of
that character by half a domrn chorus
girls,' aoded to the comedy of Sullivan
and Mack and Trumbull, make up the
potpourri that Is called "The Irish
Pawnbrokers."
Miss Trumbull, well known her and
seen frequently heretofore. Is Just as
bright and clilo as ever, with that same
winsome smue and lightness of foot,
and lacking only a musical quality of
voice to be perfection la her line of .
work. It Is a pRy that the gods did
not deal out to her better vocal talent
that she might shine more brilliantly
as a star in the burlesque world.
Mayme Taylor, who does ttra Mrs.
O'Flaherty stunt, has a very good voice
and sings quite well. She responded to
an encore on Sunday afternoon, with
"On the Road to Mandalay." one of
the sweetest songs any woman ever
sung, but which Miss Taylor sings less
effectively because she Inclines towards
making it a character song, Instead of
rendering it- In the accepted, legitimate
style which has made it loved over the
world. However... coming in the midst
of so much comedy, it is a very pleas
ing bit of music, and is appreciated by
those who prefer that sort of thing to
tha. remainder -of the- program.
There Is also a pretty song by Joe
Ward and the six chorus girls, repre
senting a midnight scehe, which la ex
ceedingly good.
Sullivan and Mack are just the same
Sullivan and Mack they were when they
began to "bring their "show" to the
Coast and everyone who attends farci
cal comedies or. "The Irish . Pawnbrok
ers" sort knows what that means. They
keep people laughing, with their Celtlo

Biting ' satire, corroding Irony, temper
ance admonition and merciless rebuke to
hypocrisy are the moral and ethical ele
ments of "A Temperanee Town," a Hoyt
play, given at The Baker Sunday matinee
and night to capacity houses, -nd that Is
the bill for the week. It tells ot affair
in a small Vermont , prohibition town
where- i-a saloon- and where, tber are
those who would keep it open as well as
those who compel its owner to cease
the sale of spirituous liquors Among
the former are thoroughly soaked fellows
whose rags and poverty and' general I center of the stage without tiring the
worthlessness attest the evils of rum,
while on the opposite side of the dramatic
picture, and sharply in contrast too, are
the black-frocked, small-souied, syco
phantic, selfish pretenders to the name
of Christian, who make a mockery of
the name ot the lowly Naxarene which
they profess, but which they do not ex
emplify. ' ' ."
The piece offers most of the oppor
tunity to the man, and of the men, Wil
liam Bernard and Howard Russell, re
spectively as Mink and Binge Jones, have
the center of the stage for the greater
part of the tlma. .
Mr. Bernard has a habit of always In
terpreting an assigned part correctly, and
has run the gamut of characters. Mink
Jones is something great as character
ixed by Mr; Bernard,. It. lrsortginal'i-et
:M. to-- IS&Jltaft Aha it ". U f uhnv is iro.va :
by the unlimited laughter by the audience.'
Mr. Russell as Binge was widely dif
ferent from the usual Binge as shown by.
others who have essayed It and it also
was a very good quality of work.
Mr. Lamp strode forward Into favor !
with Portland people In the character of
Jack Worth, lover of Ruth Hardman.
Miss Countiss as the latter was what
she always ia, sweet effective and pleas
ing. The fourth act offers her he only
good opportunity ia the play; and In
grasping it she accomplishes one of the
best bits of acting that she has been
known te do, notwithstanding that she
has borne herself -brilliantly In, whatever
character has been given, her. . , , -' '
Carlyle Moore Is simply great as Uncle
Joe Vlall and Judge Doe. - . '
Mr. Dills, In addition to stage manage
ment takes the part of Crossman, and
sustains It with his usual excellence. -
Bennett Southard again has s good
part as Pray, and . does it welt -
Mr. Mower, Mr. - Slddle and Mr.
Mann appear to advantage, while sev
eral who hare minor parts are satis-'!
xactory.
There are words of praise fur Mina
Gleason- (Mary Jans Jones), g always
heretofore, and Miss Esmond. (Arabel la
the legally-Inclined girl), la another
bright bit of work by that winsome
f tic tress. Miss McNeill meets the re
quirements of a "minor part as Mra
Hardman. and Dot Bernard .does a
little In the play and does It -'well.
The staging of the play deserves elab
orate and' .favorable-criticism, and re-
audience, which' may be Judged from
the fact that the people remain to the.
bitter end,
Honora Hennessey, by Fred Wilson.
IS a good bit of character wdi;k that la
appreciated by everyone. v
The others are reatty utility parts,
and merely fill in the Interstices be
tween the comings and goings of the
five before mentioned.
It Is a safe guess tha,t "The Irlstl,
Pawnbrokers" will do a good business v
during New Tear's week and and with
a record equal to that of the Veek just
gone.
