Salem, Or., July 29. In reply to the
attack made on hjm by E. J. Nale, an
employe of State Printer XV. S. Dunl

the Initiative measure making the flat
salary law apply to the state printer im
mediately, R. A. Harris, state printing
expert, has given out the following
Statement.
;' "If my present position Is overpaid It
Is another testimonial to the unsavory
printing system I am trying to overthrow-and
Mr. Nale is trying to sus
tain. "" '""". " , "
"The law says: 'Tbe governor shall
appoint a responsible and qualified
printing expert at a salary not to ex
ceed $4 per day.' Had It not been clear
ly seen that the duties would not re
quire all a man's tlmb, the salary might
have been a trifle higher. 1 have prob
ably further Incumbered my 'record' by
performing the duties and receiving the
salary as others before me seem to
have done. In addition, however, to do
ing my simple duties and drawing my
pay, I have saved the state at least a
year's salary In cash by Insisting on the
elimination of an abuse of the law that
has existed for y eats;" I am now en
gaged in a revision of certain forms of
printing, which, if found acceptable, will
save my salary two years' more besides
making; a more businesslike job-in every
way; I have been Instrumental in the
Revision of certain state reports which
I feel sure will save my salary another
two years easily when completed
"In this way I am endeavoring to
serve the state, earn my salary and save
my, 'record.' My Interest in the flat
salary law Is prompted by the same
motives. The measure will Immediately
stop costly disadvantages that cannot
be reached under the present law, and
which cannot be covered up by attacks
on my 'record.' These should be thor
oughly Investigated If the people are to
vote Intelligently on this question.
"MERELY MARY ANN"
Tl
Miss Cathrlne Countlil appearance in
the role of. a simple emintry miss,
transformed, by a etrange and sudden
trick of fate from a menial to an heir

Helllg tbeatre last night. In the char
acter of "Merely Mary Ann" Miss Coun

tion of the par von thehearts of the
Uiudlence. It is Uie simplicity or the
cum.euy iiecii mm qppeaia wmi unuai'ai
force Miss Countiss' acting Is pecul
iarly original. The tired, simple, over
worked servant, the counterpart of
which may be seen at nearly every
boarding house or Inn, is "faithfully por
trayed. Miss Countiss has given her
own Interpretation of the lines of Israel
ZangwIU, the 'author of 'Merely Mary
Ann." Those who may have seen Elean
or" Robson tn .the' same character- will
strive in vain to find any attempt r.t
Imitation of that actress. Miss Coun
tiss' naturalness her every word and
gesture has .the compelling stamp of
originality.
The piece, while sentimental and even
std tn parts, has a most refreshing
current of humor funning through It.
The love story It carries Is subtle anj
seductive. The play opens with a sceno
at Mrs. Leadbctter's lodging house In
London, where 'Merely Mary Ann" Is
first introduced as the hwmMe menial.
Sydney Ayres, the leading man, as the
poor but ambinous composarr nere first
wins the heart of the little maid. The
denouement Is the betrothal scene whe:i
the metamorphosed maid and the then,
famous artist plight their troth. Tho
support, Miss Laura Adams, Miss Claire
Sinclair, J. Frank Burke and others,
performed creditably. .
"Merely Mary Ann" will run all week.
