BETTER PAY BRINGS OUT MORE TEACHERS (Soedil Plspateta to The Journal.) Ashland. Or., Feb. 24. -The growing demand for teachers in southern Ore gon has had a tendency to Increase salaries in this section, consequently the number preparing for this field of work is correspondingly larger than heretofore.

At the end of the great National Religious Educa tional convention here the other day the address of Dr. Lyman Abbott of New York, editor of the Outlook, waa de clared to have been the most illus trious heard during the sessions, at which some of the greatest men of the nation spoke. It was, therefore, occasion for some surprise to hear him select the appear ance of the late Henry George's "Prog ress and Poverty," In 1879, as the be ginning of the movement for the proper reform of American Ideaa aa to taxa tion and the now powerful propaganda for the conaervatlon of the nation a re sources. ' A few weeks ago a close friend aald to me that President Roosevelt ex pec ted that, if this administration won a permanent place in history. It would oe Decause or nis advocacy-or tne pur noses of the inland waterways commis sion, which Is working on a plan to chanare the methods of disposing or the public lands, largely along the line ad vanced by Henry George that the na tional resources, those given by the Almighty to the race, should not be subject to the taking from the people by a few to be held forever as a means wherewith to extort tribute from those who otherwise compose society. Sr. Abbott's Plea. In Dr. Abbott's address, he made a most powerful plea to the nation to gain appreciation or tne rignta or tne worker as distinguished from the one who profits merely from something that pod made aqd which the man has ap propriated. It was the subject of common re mark after the Abbott speech had been ended, that a generation ago, when George's "Progress and Poverty" was so fiercely discussed, and referred- to as a chimera and a thing Impossible, It would not have been believed had it been predicted that" In 1908 so great a man aa Henry Ward Beecher's succes sor would be heard In the nation's cap ital city tracing directly from that book the fundamental reiorm now using wrought out. It is constantly Iterated and reiter ated that President Roosevelt, W. J. Bryan and Senator La Follette have nhrnaed their keynote utterance along a line exactly In keeping with Henry Georges once excoriated Deners, ana that tha whole program on which the inland waterways commission Is work ing is but a vindication of the conclu siona reached via the Henry George logic. Baalo Idea. The basic idea, aa' aet forth by Dr. Ahhntt la that nature atored the nat ural implementa and materials for the whole race, and that If the race is not to be industriously enslaved, society must have the current fruits at those natural resources, the holder having only his own .product and paying to society his toll of what he uses but does not himself produce. Dr. Abbott's addreas produced a pro found lmnression in Washington, and is said to have been noticed by eminent men in tha congress, on account of his position aa an exponent or correct eco nomic thought. Dr. Abbott even went so far as to assert that most of the ills now afflict ing the nation, arisa wholly or are re ferable In large part to the method heretofore pursued In disposing of the public lands and resources, which has fastened aa a leech on the nation's in dustrial system aggregations which fatten on othera. MARE ISLAND YARD WONT BE ABANDONED (United Press Leased Wire.) Washington, Feb. 24. rSecretary Met calf has set at rest the fears of those who thought that he would recommend the abandonment of Mare Island to the naval affairs committee. The secretary of the navy declares he has always been a fnjend of the navy yard. Instead of suggesting that the island be abandoned, he may recommend .more facilities for the yard. It was feared that Mare Is land would be abandoned because the navv department favors the purchase of Hunter's Point, lust south of San Fran cisco, where there is great drydock capable of oockins; any snip nrioat, ana which has been orrerei. to, tne govern ment. Marquam "Xew Dominion." Clay Clement Is a huge success aa a Duachman. Rather not to Infringe on the aenaitlva German temperament which vigorously resents any and all connection with things Dutchy Mr. Clement scored Instant favor last night as the German baron In "The New Do minion," the opening comedy drama of a repertoire of plays in which he ap peara this week at the Marquam. It ia the homely almpliclty of the play perhaps more than anything else which caught the audience last night. The fart that Mr. Clement nimseir wrote the comedy and haa played ita leading character for a long time, is the second Important conaideration. He Is the one above all others to Interpret its meaning and the quaint, quiet humor which Is a fetching feature throughout. Mr. Clement't portrayal or tsaron Franz Victor Von Hohenstauren is a masterful effort. His work, in the prin cipal character role, and around whom everv pnase or tne piay cenien, is a. finished presentation of a personage lr rdhlstibly funny. There Is such an ad rrirahle onnortunltv to overdo the part that one cannot help, even in a fit of lanirhter. nassina- favorable iudgmcn on the actor who varies" not a single thread from the altogether human and natural eccentricities of the German baron. It la a difficult role to assume and to carry successfully throughou four acts, a part which would auffer terribly in tne hands or an artist less skilled than Mr. Clement. Baron Hohenstaufen's study tof bot any and hia love making, the latter so distressing him that in his own words "two weeks ago I could speak rainy good English. I have forgotten that, and am even now fonrettlna- my Ger man. By the end of the week I will be deaf, dumb and blind." would lack many a pieaalng and laughable feature were It not for a supporting company wnicn comes close to meeting critical expecta tion. Misa Kathleen Kerrigan, who as Flora May Randolph, captivates the baron at first sight, gives us a finished bit of acting throughout, and the love scenes between the two are refreshingly free from the usual stage production that generally wearies instead of sum ulatlne a finer sense of feeling. Martin Rutledare. who sustained the part of the old plantation owner, has an excellent stage voice, it is deep, reso nant, and carries conviction with it, and Mr. Rutledge used It on several occa sions to tne immense delight or the au dlence, especially In conversation with Mr. William Conklln, who, as Marshall Boner, succeeded admirably in bringing to hla listeners the feeling of resent ment against him which his character impersonation called for. J. J. Ham brook makes a typical south ern darky butler, and he was the occa sion of more than one-hearty laugh. H G. Longsdale. as the young lawyer visit ing at the Randolph plantation where he makes love to Mrs. Josephine Du- laney. Miss Effle Darling, is equal to his part of a lover wrapped around the thumb ana under complete submission to nis lovea one. The character of Mrs. Randolph loses nothing in the presentation offered by Miss Alma Viva and Miss Luoy Blake as Martha Boland cries her way into tne nearts or her audience. "The New Dominion ' will te presented by Mr. Clement and his company tonight and tomorrow night. It is one of the best productions which has been of fered at tne Marquam this winter. Wednesday and Thursday night the company will be seen :n "The Bells." a psychological drama, and Frldav, Sat urday matinee and Saturday night "Lon don Assurance," a five act comedy, will be given.

C, or Clarke Woodward Drug Co., and nearly all drug glata in Portland. for tha performance of "Grauatark," which waa given at the Baker yester 'day afternoon. If fuu are going to give such a play aa "Grauatark" you might as well go In for it with a bold front and forbidding mien. It Is melo drama, but it la not bad melodrama. There are a great many persons who like Just that kind or a play. And for thorn Miss Jewell did her best, and Mr. Dills helped her out with the most aumptuoua stage settings that he haa at his command. The effect la very good. It Isn't possible that Miss Jewell takes any particular pleasure In playing Yetive, the princess of Grauatark. But after all, setting aside any preludlce against such things, she made a charm ing peraon out of the whimsical young woman of royal blood. She was stun ning looking in many of her gowns gowns that are so far ahead of anything that haa been aeen at the Baker recently that they wera worth while in them aelvea and there waa no little skill dis played In what must have been the very trying ; acenea with Grenfell Lorry, played by Mr. Homans. Trying they were, because they were positively painful to the audience, and muat have been Infinitely harder for Miss Jewell to struggle through with. It is barely possible that the Baker company has a new leading man aome thlng that they are sadly in want of. Denton Vane, who played Prince Loreni for Just about three minutes yesterday afternoon, won the favor of the critical portion of the audience the curtain calls at the close of the third act wero not complete until Mr. Vane had bowed his thanka. He had little opportunity, of course, but his work was entirely out nf nmnortlon to the length of hia ap pearance. The short interval that he was on tha stage livened up things won derfully. Mr. Bowles might better have been cast as Lorry than Mr. Homana he couldn't have done worse in It than his fellow player, and he haa the advantage of youth and appearance. But he waa merely silly as Harry Anguish we re frain from making use of the pun which presents itself so temptingly. Miss Seymour was on the stage but a short time, but plaved the part of Therese daintily and effectively. James Gleason was funny ns Prince Gabriel. I've hM.rd of a man who read "Grau atark" In book form nine times, and then wasn l aaiinrien. inrm r. i -.V.nv. vamA It at pHt twice. ' And the play Is as good ag the book, is really better In parts.

At the Empire "The Battle of Life" is being waged quite fiercely this wee!:, j The battle cornea off in a mining camp and In the end the fittest survive, if you are willing to accept the point of view of the dramatist. It la a blood thirsty tale of what happened to Rich ard Gordon, who belonged to that un Bnooirohla plum the idle rich. As long aa Richard remained idle all was well. but the minute that he began tnrowing over all traditions oy locating guiu mlnea and making love to a gin. trou ble began. He lost his gold mlnea ana he couldn't lose the rirl. She followed him. around everywhere and made life a bore. Finally she caught him and what followed Is too horrible tat men Ethel Tucker does the girl who fol lowa with considerable skill. Ann Phil ips plays a Mexican girl, and Victor G. Donald Is the villainous Kicnara. The humorous character roles are wen taken by other membera of the com n&nr. The play is Interesting and ex citing and the story held the Empire audience breathless last night.
