A Step in Progress. yilKIfH is liroiijrlit to fruition today, in tlio opening a- or t lie KiJleiHliil now mentor Duiir mm cquippim uy tlio McDonnitl-ScliHofcrs corporation, n project that is typical of the onterpriHO und progroKS of tlio modern Kiigeno. The theater is one of tlio finest and best-dc-Mgned in the J'ucific Northwest. Tlte building that hoiiKes it is modern, Bightly and siibbtantial. The w.holo jiroperty, which is very valuable now, is destined to grow in value us time goes on, and to enhance other property values in its neighborhood. The tlieater is n monument to llm nign uionimm in his profession of the late A. II. McDonald, whose mi timely death only a few weeks ago unkindly cut him off from witnessing the full realization of his hopes. The completed project as it whole stands a substantial testimony to his enterprise and that of the Messrs Frank X., George B., Charles J. and Albert T. Sehaefers, and of their united faith in the future of this city and district. The theater and building of the McDonald-Kchaefers corporation symbolizes the spirit whicli is general in this community and v.lncli is making a real city Hero. That the present exemplification of this spirit is justified fully by tho existing circumstances is evidenced by the fact that enterprising business firms, some new to Eu gene anil olliers ol prior standing Here, nave occupied or engaged already practically all of the space in the newly completed building. No well convinced is The Guard that today's opening of tho new theater marks the culmination of a really notable enterprise, that it publishes with t.his edition an eight-page section devoted to its exploitation and to the advertisements of those business firms who in many divers capacities nro identified with it. Of this humble part and of such reflected glory as it obtains through the fact that its own establishment is located directly iioross tho street from tho new tlieater and building, The Guard is proud. Mr. Brazil! Comes Home. THE manager of tho Portland Const league baseball team is noted for his generosity in trading players. When ho was u mere scout under the former club own ership, ho gavo away a good deal of tho team's strength in a deal or two that .he mado when tho owner wasn't looking. Just to prove thnt he was consistent, appar ently, he kept up his open-handed courso after he had become manager on his own account. In one of his fits of generosity he gavo tho Seattle team Catcher Daly and Infielder Brazill, two of Portland strongest men, in a trade for n mediocre outfielder named Kohwor. Tho Senttlo team came down to Portland for its first series in tho Itose City of the season, opening Tues day last. Mr. Brazill was there. Indeed, he was very much there and hither and yon and all about. His contribution to tho day's festivities included threo homo runs and a walk in four limes at bat, besides activo par ticipation in two douhlo plays aud tho making of a circus catch or two. Air, Koiiwer, for tho hornet team, meaiiwhilo obtained one hit in five trips to the plate. Seattle won, 8 to .r. Considering that Mr. Turner's big-league-fnrni team was one of the contestants, tho gamo was rather lively. It was not, of course, in tho class with our own contest hero yesterday, in which the University of Oregon de feated "Washington Stale college in a sensational ninth inning rally. Thnt was n real baseball game. Bat Mr. Brazill, the player who had been given away as n throw in by Trader Tom Turner, certainly made a nice showing of Seattlo spirit and all that, and'did all one man could to give their money's worth to those who had paid at the gate. Wo must take back what wo said the other dnv about tho Portland papers spreading tho alibi for the Tortland team. They aro not doing it not now. The battle of Brazill vs. Portland was covered strictly on merit. cigarette bill., it ii estimated these wnl be a deficiency in tbe statu trratury during the bieuniuoi of 000,000. Either that or a special ses sion of the legislature mumt be held tu ujfike up the threatened deficit thruiith other laws. The money mutt i be hud from one source or another I to keep the state machinery goiug. If I a ut-lioency results it will be nuiUe up later by an additional tax upon the general taxpayers. One way or an- outer the public will have to pay. 'J'he so-colled tithing law, which re quirea self-supporting state agencies such as the game department, snd the fish department to turn over 10 per cent of taelr revenues lo the state for general purposes, snd the lsw in pofciug a tax upon cigarettes and smoking tobacco were emergency measures passed by the legislature to meet au extraordinary situation. Some bold Governor Tierce resnun sible for the situation because of the fsilure of the state board to make a levy large enough to cover state ex prunes. The governor parses the buck to the people who repealed the in conic tax. But all this argument about responsibility for the situation rs be- shje the question lit issue which deals Willi the situation itself. Revolution in Sofia.

There has never been a lime when tile Third Interna tional was not ready to prcfit from confusion as it could, however for confusion was from Moscow, But news what little news Is allowed to puss the censor will be inLmiterprat ed if it is assumed that because there are Kusshns on the scene in Sofia the preient rituatio.i in Bulgaria is one of Ituisinn making. Two years ago Bulgaria was gov erned by a peasant cabinet aod H peasant parliament, both under the leadership of Alexander Htambollsky.

If the present series of assassinatiom and cnunter-asfaislnatlonn does not mean the end of a regime whirh b attempted to govern Bulgaria hy force of artna for 20 months, at least It means the beginning of a struggle which can only end one way a little later, for It it not possible, even in the Balkans, for a tenth of tho popu lation to govern the other nine-tenth forever when its method of governing is through force i.nd its object of gov ernment is oppression.

Hy CHARLES P. STEWART WASHINGTON. Mny 7. Chief Jus tice Taft of the federal supreme bench visited London some time ago to study tho Knglinh courts, espe cially their handling of criminal coses. Ho was much pleased. What par ticularly struck him wnn that Kng tifdi judges si in ply won't permit drlny gr be bothered by technicalities. If a man obviously ia (ii illy of iomrthing j the judge conccri-1 t rntea on finding' him ao end gener ally succeedH. Then the authorities ex ecute sentence and thnt enda it. It's the method wc ought to adopt here, Justice Taft said. Taft All this in recalled by the recent hanging in Knglnnd of Norman Thome, convicted of killing his sweet heart, Elsie Csmerou. The evidence was so purely circumstantial that even the prosecution admitted it wan im possible to prove guilt beyond a shad ow of doubt. Sir Arthur Con-1 Doyle led a Btrong effort to save the condemned man, on the ground tlmt ho was being railroaded, llo was banged nevertheless. "Good work," is the comment heard in Washington judicial circles. In fact, the impression is so favorable that a meeting of legal lights ia be ing plnnned here for the coming sum mer to consider changes in the federul law which will make convictions easier to get. The movement's backers have the English model in mind. If they rau get it through congress, they hope Mate legislatures will see bow well it works aud begin imitating it. Now, on the strength of several years of my own observation of "Eng lish justice," ns a correspondent in London, I want to sny that it doesn't seem to mo to be all It's cracked up lo ho. It works fast nnd smoothly, but at the expense of a lot of snnp judgments. I wouldn't like if 1 were on trial on a criminal charge. And. in this day nnd generation, anybody is liable to be. t A notable case, in my time in Lon don, was that of Stinie Morrison. There had been severnl murders in the White Chapel district nnd no arrests. Tho police were beginning to be criti cized. Then there wns another mur der. Somebody simply had to be caught. The police brought in Morri son. He had a prison record. On that ground, the judge set him down as guilty. But right in tbo middle of the trial one of the constables it was all police evidence broke down and confessed the whole thing was n frnmeup. When be broke down, more broke down. The cose collapsed. The prosecutiou threw up Its hands. Well, the jury convicted Morrison. The judge sentenced him to death. Even for England, that was too much. There was a howl. Very reluctantly the government commuted the sen tence to life imprisonment. Morri kou's doing time yet, 1 suppose, for SOME THOUGHTS ON BEING A LADY An Illustrated Editorial by NEA Service m . i r . j yV'i -'-"iaw.it' m r I 23 Years Ago a crime there absolutely is no reason to think he had a thing to do with. The EtiRlish get convictions, yes because they're not too particular whom they convict. It may be true, in this country, that a man actually guilty of some crime finds escape too easy for the public's good. But in England, once accused of a capital of fense, he'd better make his peace with his Maker, whether guilty or not. Per sonally I prefer the American system. I may be charged with something some time myself. i S (From The Guard May 7. 1D00) Some grocerymcn arc selling the best flour at 0"c a sack nojv. V Hon. IT. U.
