?- "THE BATTIiB."
" John' J. Hagglcton (Wilton Lacknjre) seeks to Impress upon Ids son
tie unfairness of socialism.
It is hard to realize that Wiltou
Xnckaye, who comes to the Medford
theater -with his lntcst vehicle, "The
.Battle," next Thursday nightf is not
-o bo numbered with the younger
players of the present day, but he
xeally dates back to the time when
ar stage was: supposed to be at its
palmiest" though in all fairness
-&e it said ftai ho was a tolerably
eung man afithe time. One would
hesitate to state how long ago it was
-Hurt Lawrence Barrett evidently
.Isund Lackaye indispensible to his
tears, for, for several years no Bar
rett playbill was authentic without
,ifce joane man's name. There are
vet even many theatergoers willing
le admit that they recall distinctly
srkat Lackaye did with. Daly and with
Calmer, or under Steele llackayc.
BRfCce it to say that when he help-
ed make history as the leading light
f Jr. Frohnian's company in "Ans
ocracy," "The District Attorney"
And a dozen other famous plays, he
was already a player of renown. His
-triumphs as Svengah in "Tnlby" and
Hob Shemdel in "The Children of th
dhetto" are comparatively recent,
leading almost directly as they did to
Ms later starring career. All told,
Xackaye has played some 300 parts
in his day.
Since Lackaye has won the title
f star he has had no play as suc-
eessful as "The Battle." The long
.New York run of this unusual piece
-of Cleveland Moffett's was nothing
short of sensational. It is a play
that strikes many popular notes, and
Is fortunate in dealing with topics
jqow agitating the public mind. John
D. Rockefeller took sufficient inter
est in it to contribute a number of
speeches that have been put into the
south of John J. Haggleton, multi
millionaire, its principal character,
snd the New York socialists -were
jstirred by the play to that extent
that they called a great mass meet
ing, presided over by their most
prominent sneakers, to discuss its
iltudc.
'"The Battle" has received an ade
quate production at the hands of
Iaebler & Co. Seats .now selling.
IQURNE DENIES STORY.
(CatfaiMa froa page L)
"Yet, the assemblyites are endeav
oring to destroy this, the state's
greatest, asset. Every vote for an
assembly nomirieo is an inferential
confession that the voter is unable
to select his public Bervant or pass
intelligently on legislation. After
VBting an assembly ticket he should
immediately go to the county court
aad ask for a guardian for his bus
iaass or property, as his vote for an
assembly nominco is a virtual con
fession of his otyn incompetence, and
ibis mental paresis might apply to
Easiness.
"Neither myself nor any other in
lEvidual is or can bo the chief is
w in this campaign. The question
involved is w'hethor the people shall
jnatain their power to select their can
e"Mates or shall delegate that power
te a convention under the name of
"assembly," chosen und manipulated
iy political bosses representing spd
al interests and antagonistic to nil
progressive laws iwid nil extension

ment, ''
The people of Oregon aro on trial.
They have the best system of popu
Jar jgovsrninent in tho world."
NEW CHAPEL IS
TO BE ERECTED
Christian Scientists Will Start Work
Immediately on New Building on
Their Property at Oakdale and
Fifth.
Plnns have been drawn and a con
tract is about to be let for the erec
tion of a chapel for the Christian
Scientists on the property near the
corner of Oakdale and Fifth streets.
The chapel will cost in the neighbor-
liood of $5000.
It is a ruling of the Christian Sci
entists that they never hold sen-ices
in a building that has a dollar out
standing debt against it, and for
this reason they have delayed build
ing until now, when they have the
monej in readiness.
Tho building will be 33x75 feet in
size and will stand on the rear of the
property, the front of which is to
be parked and beautified in order
that it might harmonize with the oth
er property on that street.
AMENT OHM IS

Fish Warden Sandry Completus
Work and Leaves on Trip to Mouth

Deputy Pish Warden Sam L. Sun

fishway over the Ament dam and

"that you will hear the old erv. Wah

Mr. Sandry has left for a trip to
