PENDLETON It FltlDAY, OCTOHETi tO, 1902. SCENIC VS. ACTING. It would appear that acting is pass Ing for the time. When two of the greatest American actors engage in a tour where scenic effects and ballet aro the principal features, then It looks bad for the stage as an educational factor. "The Tempest," -as produced by Warde and James, was pleasing to tli eye and exciting to Uio mind, hut wherein was there a lesson or an ap peal to the intellect? The weird, the beauty, the majestic all were in evl denre, but acting, words spoken from the heart, commonsense things, such ai people understand, the natural, all wero absent. Warde had the opportunity and did display his wonderful talent, but it wa3 In an unnatural way. The great interpreter of Shakespeare's master pieces, wherein the intellect, the soul IS appealed to, was out of place as Piospero, the magician in his cell. The great James, the ideal Othello, the smooth Cassius, the model VIr ginlus, and Damon of Damons, grov elling on the sands as Caliban, the savage and monster, was as far out of his sphere In legitimate acting as Is a gentleman stooping to hobolsm. This does not mean that he did not depict the character well and proba bly better than It has ever been pre viously rendered, but that ho belongs to a different class, and owes It to the people to play in a role to edu cate rather than fascinate. As Call ban ho is nothing, teaches no lesson, Is only . remembered as an Ignorant, deformed savage monster. In his former renditions he is remembered as tho great delineator of strong, forceful, intellectual character. But tho tenor of the time is to amuse, excite, please, rather than to Instruct. The fault probably lies with the public. It would rather look than think. It would rather laugh or bo amazed than be commonsense and practical. It governs. It would rath er pay for this kind of amusement than something stronger. It Is a com mercial age. The world Is looking where thero Is tho most money. The actor cannot prove the exception. If the public wishes weird, dazzling, In comprehensible slush, the actor must give It. But it Is sad to contemplate that tho world Is reaching that point where two of us greatest actors musV abandon the masterpieces to cater to those who only como to look. It robs tho stage of its greatest purpose to Instruct It forces lesser lights who follow tho stage to resort to moro frivolous things scenic, to please. It means the passing, for the time, of legitimate acting for tho scenic and spectacular. And before tho legiti mate returns again, two of America's greatest actors will have probably passed off the stage forever. The dally dispatches continue to bring out tho comment that thero wero never &o many train wrecks as nowadays. Thero seems to be no doubt of the fact. Is It becauso of tho Increases in number of railroads, pr that wo get better telegraph serv ice thau formerly, or have railroad men become moro careless? With experience and Increased facilities to avoid accidents, surely men are not growing careless in tho faco of a daily death list. intelligent Americans, good citizens, and will bo an honor to the country In which they locate, it Is unfortu nate that so many of them are pass- ing through this section of country. Mnuy of them will find' homes in less favorable places and dig for years to obtain what can bo secured here In much shorter time. This country should be advertised, not so much for itself, for It will settle up soon enough, but for tho honest home seekers who aro casting their lot In tho great Pacific Northwest. It is claimed that Harvey Scott who has repeatedly stated that he was not a candidate for the United Stales senate, has loft his cnndldacy for the position In tho hands of friends, expecting them to urge his claims while he is spending the win ter in Kurope. lie expects to return, however. In tlmo to be on the ground when the leglslatuie meets. Mr. Scott will probably make a strong light, but no man wun all the sins of the Portland Oregonlan hanging over his head wll ever be elected to office. llloting by the strikers in Franco almost equaled that of the rioters In Pennsylvania. This class of work only weakens the cause of tho strlk eis. Tho fact that they hold out so long with these obstacles to contend with only shows that they are grow ing stronger every year. As soon as they learn to use reason and common sense altogether Instead of bloodshed, they will win. They are in the right primarily and right must always oven tually win. The new forest reserve has caused a whole lot of comment, hut it has caused not so much inconvenience as the land-grabber and timber shark. They were gobbling It as rapidly as they could find henchmen to act and swear with them. eatlonalists was, hmvovor, not long maintained. A clinmpton una nrisen nnd has spoken bravo words of do fiance. This champion says: "JJnnsntlniinllsini is biblical. SCO Jonah mnrching through tho streots of Nlnlveh. Elijah wbb tremendous ly sensational on Mount Cnrmel. Let a minister tenr a Ulblo in pieces or hurl It to the noor in passionate pro test against sonio sin nnd he would ntt.iln in the sensationalism of Moses Pentecost was so sensatlonnl that tho illsolnlofi worn accused of drunken ness, nnd some of (he Old Testament prop.iets wore extreme sensationalists In their preaching." m Warming up to his theme the stur dy advocate of live tactics iu.(tcd: ".My plea Is for more sensationalism. Let each preacher Btudy his field and determine in what way ho can best startle, attract and Impress tho Indif ferent about him." The advice Is good, but as a defense of tho whist ling girls and. the Florodora chorus it Is but indifferent. One might bo sensational without being gaudy. Wo wait to hear some advocato of tho new order, or perhaps It would bo better to say tho "fresh" order, pre sent a leason why tho church should exchange the- choir for a ballet and the preacher for a comic monologist. San Francisco Call. THE OCEAN MERGER. Mr. Morgan's lutermitionl steam ship merger, just legally launched under n New Jersey charter, Is an other striking example of tho prevail ing trend toward Industrial and com mercial consolidations. mm The old International Navigation Company disappears and the now In ternational Mercantile Marine Com pany takes its place, with a capital ization of $120,000,000, an increase of ?105,000,000 over that of the old company. This Increased capitaliza tion represents tho value, as estimat ed by tho creators of the merger, of the old company's plant and bus! ness plus the plants and businesses of the White Stnr, American, Hed Star, Leylaud, Atlantic Transport and Dominion llnex An Interesting feature In the new ocean merger's prospects Is that tho British government has given its pledge of equal treatment in the mat ter of mall-carrying contracts with the Cunard line nnd otherwise. It has a working agreement nlso with tho German lines. This by no means implies that the steamship traffic of the Atlantic has becomo n monop ouy. Competition still exists. And If, as the now combination's promot ers say. nothing more is aimed at than a reduction of operating ex penses and the prevention of ruin ous rate-cutting, the public will suffer no harm. Economy of management should lead to better service and lower passenger and freight rates, and if it does it will be a good thing all around. 'New York World. There are more theories nowadays on taxation and assessments than on any other subject. If all of the plans suggested were carried out tho tax payer would soon havo causo to com plain in earnest. While tho taxpayers are all satis- fled, who Is going to secure a change in present methods? It Is claimed that tho fellow who doesn't pay any taxes Is raising all of the fuss. Why Is he kicking? Every train from tho East brings scofos of Immigrants. They aro not pleasuro-seokors, but homcseekers. They aro not such a class as como over on ships, either. They aro all SENSATION IN THE PULPIT. Only a short time a little rlpjJe of excitement In New iorit, caused by the annenrantvi at one of the churches of n iriftoi young lady who entertained tho con. gregaiion My whlstl nc "Ro b n Adair" while the contribution box was pass ing around. Encouraged by the suc cess of that venture and undeterred by the few and faint protests that roiioweu it, other clergymen enliven ed the dull season In their churches by similar gayeties and then the dis cussion became louder and the pro tests moro formidable. While that controversy was wax ing warm as tho summer itself in the East, reports came from London of a movement started in that city to get the use of rural churches for theat rical entertainments during the week, tho argument being that country peo- plo havo not a fair share of tho Joys of life and since they cannot afford theaters they should bo permitted to make Joyous ubo of the venerable edifices of tho church. m m m Naturally theso Innovations on tho old fashions of worship havo provok ed something moro than erltlr-Jwn.
