Poor Light Service Fault of Council Popularity of Judge McBride Beautifying Parks For

Salem, Or., Nov. 20. A special com
mittee had the temerity Jto rake the
Forthyid Railway. Light & Power com
pany over the coals before, the council
this week for alleged discriminations
against the patrons of the lighting and
transportation company In Salem. The
charge was that, Salem has been for
aome time squeezed by the big corpor
ation, and made to, submit to a . poor
lighting service at exorbitant rates be
cause It had a monopoly of the light
and power facilities in the capital city.
The Portland Railway, x,igot -ow-er
company operates the street systems
of both Salem and Portland. -Besides
It owns the gas plant at Salem and fur-,
nishes both gaa and ele(4riclty for light
pur noses here. It has absorbed all the
holdings of the prlglnal lighting and
the principal companies at isaiem, ana
there Is no longer competition in either
lighting or transportation.
One of the most Irritating questions
brought out in the controversy between
the eouncll committee, which; conssts
of: A N. Moores, W. H. Eldridge and A.
T. Jtloffltt, and Manager BolUn K. Page
of the Portland corporation was in re
gard to free renewals of electric lamps.
"To contradict the assertion of the
local manager." reads the report, ".that
Ills' company- is abandoning tlie custom
of furnishing; free renewals, of . lamps In
Portland, we beg to call attention ; to
the . very recent advertisement m a
Portland dally paper of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company, In
which In the endeavor 'to attract patron
age to: their company, they make very
conspicuous their offer for the free re
newals of lamps. It has not escaped
the attention of our "constituents that
the date of the cancellation In Salem of
the-courtesy of free exchange or eiec
trie lamps , was practically coincident
with the absorption by the electric com
pany of the Salem 3aa Light company.'
Very significant la tne Closing para
erraphs of. the report; In which is set
forth the following: ;

' One of the most successful affairs of
Its kind ever held at. Salem was the ban
quet given in honoj of Associate Justice
McBride' -on his sixty-second birthday,
which occurred last Tuesday,' It Is sel
dom that the bar and people generally
extend such an, honor to a-member of
. the supreme ourt. The personnel of
the guests Included friends of the rev
ered jurist from all parts of- the state.
Following la a short list of lawyers
and Jurists, present:

sided as toastmaster.' It has been a
long time since so notable an assembly
has been gathered together to do honor
to one of the bench in Oregon. "
Judge McBride has been on. the su
preme bench only since' May 1, 1909. He
was appointed to the position by Gov
ernor Benson upon the resignation of
Justice Bean, who had accepted a fed-'
eral appointment offered him by the
president.. In the short time that Jus
tice McBride has been on the bench he
has -won . the greatest respect and his
ability has been fully recognlaed. His
opinions are always clear cut and they
are written In a way that gives the
impression their author knows what he

Beautifying parks. '
Landscape artists were busy this week
purveying and laying out a scheme for
the beautiflcatlbn of Marlon square and
Wilson Park. . Trees and shrubbery are
to be planted and new soil put on the
plots for that purpose. Part of Marlon
square Is to bet set off for a chil
dren's play ground, walks will be laid
out, leading , between .flower gardens;
$800 Is to be expended for shrubbery
and gardens alone. Salem's squares are
among Its most attractive features, but
their neglect heretofore also has been
noticeable. v

Many Horseback Elders,
It Is believed that a large number of
tne members of the Portland Hunt
club and the other' riding associations
tf Portland would Join in such a. move
ment. Portland .has more horseback
riders in proportion to its population
than my other clt In the united
States, and because of this fact It is
believed that there would be little trou
ble in securing the necessary C5 or 100
men for the company. It is believed
that the discussion of the plan will
crystallize into a definite movement in
a short time, which will result lh the
selection of a leader in the organization
work' and consequent formation of the
squadron. .
"I think that' such a troop would be
a splendid thing," . says Adjutant Gen
eral Flnzer. "Many of the cities in the
east have such troops, and they are very
popular. Denver , has such a troop; so
has Cleveland, and so has New York.
Would Be of Service.
"At the present time," continued Gen
eral Flnzer, "Oregon has no- cavalry

of great service on occasions when It is
necessary for the governor or the state
to receive distinguished visitors from
other parts of the state. My plan
would be. to organize such a body of
cavalry and call it the governor's troop,
or some similar name, and use. It as
a military guard on such occasions as
the' recent visit of President Taft. or
other simitar occasions, of which thera
It is not unusual to read of actresses
being very beautiful, 'especially In Eng
land and America. This Is not only
the voice of the press agent but also
of the critic. In the latter rase It
is admitted to be praiseworthy, but
In the former It may appear to be bad
taste. Still, there may be extenuation.
In. offering a performance It Is quite
consistent, if within the bounds of
truth, to speak of every advantage. A
beautiful ensemble nowadays Is expect
ed and nothing contributes so much to
that end as a handsome woman, espe
cially In society plays, hence If we can
state that the role Is In the hands of
beauty It is that much more to the
good. -
The American - stave can truthfully
boast of many gorgeous creatures, and
for more than one reason. First, every
girl who aspires to a theatrical career
must have the help of -others to secure
a beginning. Few managers, old time
players, or personal friends encourage
a girl who is stage struck if she is
not good looking..' The next reason Is
that handsome girls are intelligent, and I
that la.' why they make good actresses,
I - rsmember years ago at a rehearsal
Clara Morris remarked to me, "Who Is
that beautiful creature over- there?"
replied that it was on of the extra
girls, which ' means the ballet. "She
will make a great actress," replied the
star.
Began at S6 a Week.
The- girl referred to was then about
17 years of . age.' Her salary was' $6
a week. That is pretty small, but it
was - In the old stock days when we
had a reserve of new beginners who
spoke no lines but Just went on to look
well and fill up the stage. The girl's
name was Pauline Hall, and her salary
has, to my knowledge, reached $500
a weeK. Another royal beauty who
commenced about the same time .and
at the name- age, was Mary Anderson,
and still another la Lillian Russell.
These women were all talented, but
no! one will deny that their beauty
was a great asset. Great and beautiful
women are Maxlne Elliott and her sis
ter, Gertrude. It Is well known that
they were not rich- girls and had they
not been handsome they would prob-1
ably never have had the opportunity to :
grace the stage. Others are Viola Al
len, Florence Roberts, Adelaide Nellson,
Mrs. Rousby, Amelia Bingham, Henri
etta Crossman. Others are too many ,
to mention. Pretty soubrettes -their
names are legion. For example, Mar-"
garet Clarke, Anna iaughlln and Clara
Palmer. .
Asset of Great Tains.
In the lower rank, beautiful girls may
be counted by the thousand. When we
have a high class attraction It Is quite
consistent we' state that our star is a
beauty. It is an asset of extreme value.
A smile on a beautiful face Is a Joy
long to be remembered, and a tear on
a beautiful -face is all the more pitiful
because of its sweet sadness.
Beautiful women are usually . of ;
sweet disposition, and that la not only '
a valuable asset on the stage but it
assists success. Two of the . most
charming women on the stage are also :
charming off the stage. I will name
Lillian Russell and Ruth Maycllffe,
and there are many others women
who have done nothing but dispense
happiness. .

result In the formation of a very effi

"It .would be possible for the troop to
be organized at any , time, though. It
would be necessary to secure an addi

SHOW THANKS BY LIBERAL GIFTS,
SAYS BISHOP IN HIS PASTORAL -
Bishop Scadding has prepared the fol
lowing Thanksgiving pastoral to be
read to all congregations In the dio
cese tomorrow :
"My dear brethren of the clergy and
laity Gratitude is a rare virtue, espe
cially gratitude to Gad for the more
common, everyday blessings of life. The
expression of .our gratitude Is made in
many ways by our manner of life, by
our lips; but perhaps we can show our
spirit of thanksgiving' best of all by
our gifts. The ' proclamation of the
president calls upon the people to go to
their - several places of worship on
Thanksgiving day, Thursday, Nqvember
25. Let-us keep the feast with joy and
gladness, thanking the giver of every
good and perfect gift for all our bless
