A Statesman Retires
The announcement o the voluntary retirement of Oscar
Underwood as senator from Alabama at the conclusion of
his ni-pscnl. lerm will be received with universal regret. His
record of twenty years' leadership in the house and ten
years in the senate has been a brilliant one and he has been
the choice o&his party in his state for president at several
conventions.
Mr. Underwood belongs to the conservative wing of the
Democratic party, the branch that upholds the ideals of
Jefferson and Cleveland. Ho has always had the courage of
his convictions and never hesitated to express his opinions
even when in conflict with his party. He is therefore out of
tune with the Bryanized Democratic party of the south of
today with its advocacy of prohibition, anti-evolution and
Ku Kluxism.
Mr. Underwood is the type of senator elected before the
days of the direct primary with its elevation of the
demagogue. Instetad of Underwoods, we get Heflins and
Bleascs from the south, and the nation is not the gainer.
Everywhere the character of men in public life is being
lowered, through the primary, toward the level or the man
in the street. Instead of statesmen, we get politicians, whom
Abraham Lincoln declared
A sot o men who have interests nuide troin Hie interests of Iho
people, and who, to nay the most ot thein, are, taken as a mass, at
least one lonff step removed from honest men.
Cleaver for Warden
Petitions are in circulation requesting the appointment of
Geoiye L. Cleaver, former prohibition commissioner and
present special investigator for Governor Pierce, as state
game warden on the ground that he is a husky ana ncaltny
individual and probably needs the money.
As Mr. Cleaver knows nothing at all about fish and game
affairs and probably wouldn't know a trout from a carp or a
pheasant from a sparrow, he is admirably qualified for the
job, under prevailing civil service standards. He made such
a beautiful mess of dry law enforcement that he could be
counted upon to duplicate the performance and put game
affairs in the same calagory as commercial fish interests
are now.
Inasmuch as taxpayers have to pungle up for Mr.
Cleaver, anyway, as they do for Mr. Spence, Mr. Ronda
I'ierce, and' other friends of the executive, it might effect
an economy to give him this pinocle playing job.

Cast of America's
Greatest Stars to
Bring Comedy Hefe
Chauncey Olcott, Mn, FIs.
Thomas A. "Wise and James T.
Powers, as well as others nearly as
notable on the American stage,
make upa combined cast of stars
which are scheduled to revive
Richard Hrinsley Sheridan's fam
ous old comedy drama, "The Ri
vals" at the Grand theater hero on
the evening of Saturday, July 25.
The sparkling humor of the pro
duction, written ISO years ago but
Htill brilliant In its wit and clever
ness, and the personnel of the cast
Insuro to Salem thoator goers one
f the real theatrical treats they
have, enjoyed In recent years.
Concerning tho recent showing
of tho production In San Krancis-
A. F. Gillaspey writes In the
Bulletin of that city:
"In tho local presentation there
ia undoubtedly more interest In the
personnel of the cast. Not more
than once In a decade Is there an
opportunity to see such a gathering
of celebrities in one play as that
assembled for "The Rivals," with
Mrs. Flake, Chauncey Olcott,
Thomas A. Wise and others whose
names are prominent on tho Amer
ican stage.
"The masterful finish given the
various characters of this famous
old play is a study In itself. The
skill of stagecraft, of character im
personation, Is brought to the
height of efficiency In the hands of
these past masters, If the produc
tion has nothing else to recom
mend It.
"Mrs. FIske is tho entirely enjoy
able Mrs. Malaprop, a matron who
consistently misapplies the words
of tho king's good English. It Is
a character that would pass almost
K 1
i"
unnoticed except In the hands jo f a
past mistress of the arts. Mm.
Fisko's appearance on the stage Is
a signal to prepare for a laugh.
"The same may be salf of
Thomas A. Wise as the testy, Jrrt
porlous Sir Anthony Absolute.
Chaucoy Olcott as Sir Lucius O'
Trigger, a likable old rake of the
days of King George III, proves
as popular as ever. He has Just
the suggestion of the breath of old!
Erin In his spcoch, and here and j
there is an opportunity for him. to,
introduce a short melody, a remind,
er of other days.
"James T. Powers appears as tho
Bol Acres of tho comedy, a pro
vincial with desire to becomo a
young swell, whose lack of poise
and courage makes him a buffoon.
Konneth Thomas Is excellent as
Captain Jack Absolute, In love
with Lydia Languish, a charming
character In the hands of Lola
Fisher. Then there are Fred Eric
as Faulkland, Marie Carroll, a
splendid Lucy, Lotus Robb as Julia
Melville and George Tawdo . the
thoroughly enjoyable David, ser
vant of Bod Acres."

OPEN FORU
Contributions to Thla Column must be plainly written on one
side of paper only limited to 300 words In length and signed
with the name of the writer. Articles nol meeting these speclfl
cations will be rejected.
To the Editor: Through an arti
cle in your paper of Thursday,
July 2nd, it seems that Mr. Jas. E.
Smith, County Commissioner, takes
exception to the objection that tho
writer made1 to a certain road
whicu. Is under consideration for
the proposed five year program of
Marlon county.
First, the writer wishes to state
that he was misquoted in your ar
ticle as of July 1st in as far as
Mhony and Jas. E. Smith were the
only farmers living on the Fair
field road between Aral's corner
and St. Paul. Tho writer knows
that there are more than these
two on this road and he has never
signified otherwise. Also, as to the
statement quoted as from the writ
er that Jaa. E. Smith kept mo from
interviewing the Slate Highway
Commissioner In Portland, this al
ls not true.
The wrHor, however, did state
that there were very few people
living on the Fairfield road and
wished to make it plain that there
was a large area between Fair
field and St. Paul which Is white
land and which at this time Is un
cultivated. Thero are many hun
dreds of acres Immediately con
tiguous to tho road that lie Idle
for the reason of unproductive
ness.
Mr. Smith states that there is
only one place along the Fairfield
road that the Willamette river
comes anywhere near touching the
said road, and lie states that along
practically the entire length of
said road the Willamette Rivor is
at a distance of from two to five
miles. Mr. Smith is very much
more familiar with the road along
the Willamette than the writer.
However, Mr. Smith either did not
say this, or he did not tell the
truth.
Mr. Smith states that !n taking
up the five year program for high
ways thoy are trying to give to the
people who did not get anything
under the first five year program
the share of roads to which they
are entitled. We would like to
ask Mr. Smith If under the first
five year program St. Paul did not
receive their full share and more
to, and therefore, why Is it necs
sary to give to thorn under (his
program a road that is entirely un
necessary? Further, no-one Is n.sk
log the people of the FalrficM-St.
Paul district to contribute money
to any other district than that of
their own, and if they have raised
by special assessment money to he
used on the Fnirfield-St. Paul ronrt
let it bo placed thero, but tho writ
er feels that it Is not necessary
for tho county to spend unneces
sary money on that road. i
Also, It Is stated in Mr. Smith's!
article that there is no complaint,
being raised In the northern part
of tho county to the proposed
Fairfield-St. Paul road, but that it
Is the complaint only of the writ
er. This statement is absolutely
untrue. There are many farmers,
a number of them being large prop,
erty holders paying taxes In the
north part of Marlon county, who
are absolutely opposed to the con
struction of tho Falrfield-St. Paul
road at an expense of oight and
one-tenth miles when tho some
purpose can be gained by the con
struction of a road throe and nine
tenth miles. And also I wish to con
tradict the statement of Mr. Smith
when he says that the Fairfield
St. Paul road is one and one-half
miles shorter than the road which
I propose. Thla also is not true.
tent lis of one mile beteen Aral's
corner and the paving in St. Paul,
und from Anil's corner around by
Four Corners to St. Paul at tho
same point. The writer would like
to have It explained how the coun
ty Is benefited to the extent of
four and two-tenths miles of road
construction which l.i the differ
once between the amount of con
struction required by tho way of
Fairfield to St. Paul and tho
amount of construction required
by way of liressel's corner con
necting with iho Woodburn-St,
Paul road.
Quoting from Mr. Smith's article
"I am interested in this road be
cause it is the rlRht road, not bo
cause my farm happens to be on
it." In oilier words Air. smiins
whole argument in so far as his
articlo describes, is that "This is
the best road been use I say It is
I lie best road."
Every road district ,- every tax
payer in Marion county should be
interested in reducing tho amount
of road construction where it is
unnecessary, nnd absolutely, tho
Fairik-Ui-St. Paul road is unucces
sary when tho winio purpose can
bo gained by a saving of four and
two-tenths miles of construction.
Yours very truly,
C. J. ESPY.
