FORTUNE INTER
A DANDY SHOW
Audience Had Long Wait, But It Was
Well Worth It Lines Were Good
and Actors Handled Their Parts
With Great Skill.
WHENEVER tho Orotjonian l'uns out. of arguments in
a discussion with this paper, it dismisses tho de
bate by asserting that The Mail Tribune is rapidly losing
ground and doesn't amount to much anyway, while its
little local stand-pat echo is becoming a journalistic world
beater. " '- T I i
Last week the Oregonian closed a discussion of news
paper ethics with the comprehensive and convincing argu
ment that had nothing to do with the case: "The Sun has
under its present management rapidly and deservedly
taken the lead in the "Medford newspaper field."
In "Wednesday's issue the Oregonian again replies to
The Mail Tribune by the following conclusive clincher:
"It (The Mail Tribune) has suffered a great loss of the
general commence . . . and has been the opportu
nity of a live, fair and truthful paper like the Medford
Sun." m . ti;tfMF
Perhaps the Oregonian is .judging others by itself and
imagines that because it is losing its hold anil becoming
a hoodoo, other leading papers must be also.
But the wish is evidently father to tho thought, for
the Oregonian is practising its usual precept that a lie well
stuck to is better than the truth.
When the Oregonian asserts and reasserts that The
Mail Tribune is not the leading newspaper in southern
Oregon, judged by prestige, influence, circulation, busi
ness, equipment, or by any other measure, it "lies by day,
it lies by night, and it lies for the mere lust of lying"
BREAKING WITH RUSSIA. '
PERSIANS CLASH S
"The Fortuno Iluntcr" .was tlie
first real New York production, ex
cepting "Alias Jimmy Valentine,"
that iMcdford has seen for many a
day.
In last niRht'8 production ,it was
not alone the lines that were spoken
or tho excellence of the actor, hut
tho natural environment that spoke
with an eloquence that touched tho
heart
In tho second act, the setting of
tho old drug store, the honest, kind
hearted old inventor and tho daughter
trying to make the hest of their pov
erty; tho old workshop in tho cor
ner and the hundred little signs of
financial failure formed the picture
that stamped its pathos on the hearts
of tho audience.
This surrounding, together with
most excellent acting and a play thnt
has merit of tho first quality, made
"Tho Fortuno Hunter" a performance
that Medford will long remember.
Miss Cohan is a genuine actress;
sho has a keen conception of her
character; sho is intelligent tfnil tal
ented and, above all. so sincere in
her work that she cannot fail to im
press. Nothing hut the consummate love
of art would induce a lady with
sleeves rolled up in tho chilly atmos
phere of last night to scrub a mimic
drug store through n scene lasting
10 or 15 minutes, hands constantly in
water.
The only had feature of tho evening
wns tho lateness of tho production. It
was 10:24 when the curtain rolled up
and, duo to difficulties on tho" stage,
tho show was not over until nearly
Z a. ni. That tho audienco remuined
is a great testimonial.

A BROGATION of the -treaty between the United States
l. and Russia by the former is occasioned by the con
tinued action of Russia in holding up Americans because
of their race or religion in defirtneo of treaty obligations.
Jews and athiests are refused admittance to Russia
and subjected to annoyances, and all other Americans
must submit to an humiliating inquisition at tho Russian
embassy or consulate before their American passports are
given the Russian vise, without which no one is x)ermitted
to cross the frontier.
In 1S32 a treatv was made between the United States
and Russia. The first article of that treaty reads:
"There shall bo between the territories of the high
contracting parties a reciprocal liberty of commerce and
navigation. The inhabitants of their respective states
shall mutually have liberty to enter the ports, places, and
rivers of the territories of each party, wherever foreign
commerce is permitted. They shall be at liberty to so
journ and reside in all jJarts whatsoever of said territor
ies, in order to attend to their affairs, and they shall en
joy, to that effect, the same security and protection as
natives of the country wherein they reside, on condition
of their submitting to the laws and ordinances there pre
vailing, and particularly to the regulations in force con
cerning commerce."
Thirty years ago Russia began to violate the treaty.
"With religious persecution, massacres and anti-scmitic
outbreaks in Russia, came the religious inquisition against
American citizens desiring to enter the czar's domain.
Russia violated the treaty and continued one subterfuge
after another in reply to diplomatic protests.
James Gr. Blaine, while secretary of state in 1881, made
formal protest against Russia's actions, stating tha.t the
United States could "make no new treaty with Russia,
nor accept any construction of our existing treaty which
shall discriminate against any class of American citizens
on account of their religious faith."
Resolutions have been passed at every session of con
gress since, protesting, and during the past thirty years
one secretary of state after another endeavored to make
it clear to Russia that she was breaking the treaty with
the United States by discriminating against American
citizens on account of their religious belief. Both tho
republican and democratic parties have incorporated in
their platforms this demand for equal rights for the
American passport in Russia, and candidates for presi
dent and presidents have promised before and after elec
tions in speeches and in letters to deal energetically witn
this insult to American citizenship. .
American citizens are not the only ones against whom
the Russian government discriminates on religious
grounds.. Subjects of other countries of Europe must
submit to the same religious inquisition at the hands of
the Russian officials in those countries. And yet the
other countries do not press their claims so persistently
as the United States.
America has led the way. Congress and the president
have at last acted. The break with Russia is complete. A
new treaty will not be made unless the American passport
is honored. Other nations will follow a like course.
Russia has no navy and is powerless to go to war even
if it was desired, but there is nothing to indicate that tho
most barbarous of civilized nations intends armed aggres
sion. In the meantime, Americans will have to keep out
of Russia. .
