The Play , Buppoae everybody were a disciple ef tha BhiloaODhV of "Mrs. Wlgs of th Cabbage Patch,- wouldn't It dispel the Bloom and chang th world? Th very first effect would be th eradication of th "grouch." that blighting ailment that (Is reflected from so many coun tenances.' ' ' A big audience at th Heillg last night listened to her teachings, won dared at her areat . forbearance, and enjoyed tmmenaely the portrayal of that character which - filled the eabbag patch with sunshine and spread happi ness through ail tne neignoornooa. n there was on ia all th audience who suffered from "grouch" when he , de parted, his cass is hopeless, his sour ness complete. i Two years ago tha company playing Mr. "Wlirs" was sent to th coast and left a ieep imprint in th af faction of Portland people. At that' time Mrs. Mads Carr Cooke, th originator of th nart of th delightful philosopher, was playing the title role, while Mlaa Helen Lowell, who originated th part of Miss Hasy, was portraying the char acter Of th excruciating bride. Mrs. Cook waa recently called to London and Miss Lowell la anow with the Blanch Walsh company which playsd her last week. But th -performanc laat night dam onatrsted that no matter how excellent on may be .In any particular line, there are others Inst as good. Miss Blanche Chapman, who has been Interpreting th part of Mra-Wlggs for only a few weeks, does It with exquisite deftnssa She thoroughly appreciates th charac ter ah Is portraying and enters Into it completely. Physically ah 1' Ideally equipped for th part of th good natured, forgiving dlspeller of worries Th part llsslf Is so delightfully oharmlng and thoroughly wholesome tnat even in the hands of on less skil ful thsn Miss Chapman it would pleaaw most any audience. But with her In terpretation it more than pleases, and If Mrs. Cooks made It more delightful, the public has already forgotten. As Miss Hasy, Miss Viva Ogden srouses all th excruciating mirth that ahould be aroused 'without 111 effects upon ths audience. Merely to look Is to laugh at Miss Hasy and there is no doubt but that th part haa lost none of Its possibilities. In, th handa of Miss Ogdwn. -. . . , . i Th on weak part In th eaatja that of Lovey Mary, which Is played by Miss Edith Taliaferro, It la a charm ing part and on that '. requires mors than a little skill In Its portrayal. Ex. trems youth and rare beauty ar in Miss Taliaferro's favor, but comeliness and youth ar not th only requlsltlos to th part ' , . Charles Carter, as Mr. Stubblns, is still doing the excellent work as' th bibulous O. A. "a. hero that he did two years ago..

It Is a play that you will never regret having seen, and If you ars at all afflicted with ths common or garden variety of "grouch," a visit to th Heillg during on of thes performances will do vou mors good thsn all th doctors In Portland.

' Mr. Fsrrtmsn was "vary apprehensive" about th at titude which Mr. Roosevelt might take In his forthcoming masssg concerning the Interstate commerce commission and th railroads. October 14 Mr. Roosevelt had written to Mr. Harrlman aaylng that "before I writ my message I ahall get you to come down to dlaouss certain government matters not connected with th campaign." ' Railroad -regulation was ths only such matter in which, Mr. Harrlman was Interested. He "believed it would be best for all Intsrests that no reference be made te the subject" In ths mesas g.

I might bavs before writing your message" . Naturally Mr. Harrlman is aggrieved. What did be aubscrlb th tSO.00 for? Than he 1 earns that James Haaea Hyde haa generouely contributed 10,000 of th Eq.-UU.bl policyholders' money to th campaign fund and expecta to be mad ambasaador to France.

Mr. Harrlman had , aasumed that he waa dealing with responsible people who would respect "ths moral obliga tion." Instead he derived no dividends whatever from his Investment In 'Roose velt presidential atock. No more "moral obligations" for Mr. Harrlman. He would do bualneaa tn politica thereafter on a business basis.
