Holy Iptrlfs Office Work as Advo
cate (ComfortorJ",
REVERSING THE U&UAL ORDER.
DORS n public official, who is elect oil to an office, enter
into n eontraet With tho people to servo at the salary
stipulated at the time of election 'f
v Thb recent session raised salaries of officials over tho
governor's veto in most of the counties of Oregon, includ
ing Jnckson, despite the fact that the officials were elected
only last fall and at election time no claim was made or
put forth that tho money paid was inadequate.
However, attempt to cut the salary of a public official
and he will immediately claim that he has a contract with
the people and it is not fair to reduce, his pay. Ashland
offers a case in point, ns witness tho following dispatch
from that city:
ASHLAND. Or., March 7. Tho city council Is wrestling with tho
rocordenthlp salary question, having cut down tho compensation of tho
present Incumbent of tho otflco to $100 a month, instead of 125 which
tho former official received. Recorder Olllette. elected last December,
resents this action, contending that his salary cannot bo cut down during
his term of office, nnd demands the full pay, with tho council disposed to
Ignore hts request.
"What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Tf
public officials can have their salary raised, they can have
it cut. The previous recorder made no objection when
his salary was raised from $100 to $125 per month and Ir.
Gillette would not hold that his salary could not be raised
to $150 a month.
It is only when the official's pocket book is touched
that the public hears about the contract with tho people.
When the people's pocketbook is touched there is no talk
of contract.
ON THE WRONG TACT,
CONPLUDINCt scenes of tho Idaho and Washington
legislatures wore similar to those witnessed at Salem
before the Oregon legislature-adjourned despite the fact
that more pay is given these legislators and more days
Vouchsafed to do their work in.
The scenes are similar at the close of every legislative
session, no matter how long or short, even of the national
congress after nearly a year's session. There is the same
fiddling around for days on trivialities, the same waste of
time and energy and gallery playing for petty politics,
the some log-rolling and trading and the same frantic
scramble at tho finish, the same needless sacrifice of bills,
the same ill-cousidcred haste on appropriations, the same
reckless waste of public funds, and consequent high taxa
tion. To remedy the situation, the Oregon legislature has
submitted to the people a proposition for raising its own
wages and lengthening the session. But it is no remedy.
The proposed cure simply multiplies the ev'ls sought to be
remedied, and increases instead of diminishes troubles.
Instead of doubling the cost and doubling the time, the
legislature ought to half both, meet once in four veal's, cut
its membership in two, and then abolish political parties in
state affairs.
Government is a matter of dollars and cents to the
citizen and it is high time some glimmer of common sense
replaced political buncombe in the management of public
affairs.

nnd the Americans in London and
elsewhere. The market closed dull.

HELEN GARDNER AS
CLEOPATRA AT THE STAR
Monday will marke the commence
ment of n two-day run nt the Star of
the most remarkable photo. play ever
made. Helen Gardner's idealization
of Cleopatra is full of varied moods,
as the character of Cleopatra must
hue been, at one time tho incarna
tion of tiRcribh ferocity, nt another
imbued with tho seductive languor
and delightful enervntion of tropic
temperament. Miss Gardner's not
ing is one of enthralling fidelity to
truth in its matchless grace of move
ment und swift decision of mind. She
is moulded for the pnrt in feature
nnd form nnd she depicts the greut
queen ns one not relying upon physi
cal appeal to the senses alone". She
exhibits Cleopatra in her lighter
moods, n creature of IremcndoiH
ifjor anjl wayward passions, uut tuts
is nil changed ns the tragic end ap
proaches. She is no longer n girl of
caprice, but n great woman domin
ated by n passion that sweeps tliu
strings of her heart with owrponcr
iug Htrengih. It takes tn hours to
show the six reels of this powerful
productions, nnd this in connection
with the enormous expense in secur
in this famous play for Medford the
atre goers necessitates the advance
in admission to 1ft cents for children
and Uft cents for adults.

"Tio Intermediate Sc," by Kdward
Carpenter, published by Mitchell
Konnerly.
Kdward Carpenter who Is best
known as the" author of "Towards
nomocracy," has a curious way
of opening n channel for the
mind and turning It Into mi outircly
new line- of thuught. This t bunk,
"Tho Intermediate B"ls u study of
some transitional tpes of men and
women. We hsvo all mo thfio
types, misunderstood them und
perhaps rtdlculd them. Carp.ntor
now steps forth Und lntrpi'5 t leso
men and vomen--tho man lorn wuh
woman's soul und the unman horn
with the man's soill nnd shows u
that the effeminate man and tho
mascullno woman understand both
sexes equally and with them rests
tho solution or bringing about a moro
complete understanding between the
sexes.
According to Curpentor tho Inter
mediate sex Is something higher and
better than either the perfect female
typo or perfect mascullno type.
"The Heroine, In Hroiue," ! James
Lane, Allen. puhllHhed b McMil
lan. Our lato day authors have thrown
the spot light on women's characters
cruelly, nnd shown them up to the
reading world as they actually arc.
The old chivalry has departed from
tho pages nnd the spot light often
reveals all of woman's weaknesses
nnd nono of her bettor qualities. Th'i
authors havo stripped her barn of all
her artifices and have gloried In their
discovery that woman has, emotions,
sentiments nnd Ideas not unllko
man's. We have revelled In books
that havo mado women natural hu
man beings without any gloss of
pretcme.
James La no Alton, In "A Heroine
In Bronio" gives us a view and wt
havo to look up on tho pedestal to
see It of a girl of tho old time Idea.
A girl of flno sensibility one ex
tremely dainty and delicate of tout
In tho midst of tho current fiction
she Is as startling as a hoop-skirt
would bo among the present dnr
styles. Nevertheless sho brings
breath of old time sweetness, refine
ment and super-culturo.
Tho thread of tho romance In the
book Is as Indistinct among the
shadows -nnd lights of beautifully
worded descriptions and dissertations
ns a likeness Is In n daguerreotype;
you must turn It this way and that
to catch tho Idea of tho whole and
when you think )ou havo It, It eludes
you. Wo are used to clear cut por
traits even unrctouched ones both
In books and pictures but It is
pleasing onco In a while to try and
catch tho light and beauty of an old
daguerreotype.
From tho pager. "A mnn'a work
not tho work that Is forced on him,
but tho work that he chooses delib
erately to do must bo first with
him becauso his chosen work Is his
character a man's love of a woman
Is not his character. Lovo of women
comes to men of all characters; but
a man's Ideal work Is himself and If
a, man bo false to that, then ho ran
bo false to anything."
"Hooks to mc are sbuls. Bonis In
4Mb world must havri bodies and
books must bo bound. Hut my af
fection for a human soul goes out
moro freely to It when It Is most
simply drcsned."
.
"Ann Voronlca," by If. O. Wells
Slnco tho recent agitation In Eng
land, caused by tho .militant sufra
gettes, ono can read (his story again
which was published three years
ago, with now Interest. It Is tho
Hugllshman'u view of woman In re
gard to suffrage,
Wells does not aim directly at
suffrago In this story but ho pays
woman a pretty compliment by
showing her, her place. That a
wo in an cannot livo alone In this
world, unprotected by soma man,
either father, brother or husband,
and meet all men on an equal foot
ing, Is delightfully told In "Ann Ve
ronica." That woman's highest Ideal
Is to lovo and he loved Is ubly proved
in Ann's euro nt least.
