PUKiia.M) papers pronounced M-nator Harry Jane s efforts to reveiit the president from iein empower ed to protect American rights at sea, as most unpatriotj The same papers, however, are selling their space to the liernian propaganda in its 1 mal el lort to divide the na fion and prevent action by congress to protect American rights. Lane probably acted from conscientious motives the sole motive of the newspapers is pursuit of the dollar. Of the two, thev arc more to be censured than the senator. The Portland Journal and the Portland Telegram Fri day night carried lull page appeals Irom the " iMiiergency Peace Federation" of .New York urging people of the west to wire the president and congress protesting the taking of any action to protect American lives and property. If Tarty Lane and his eleven companions who, in the words of the, president "rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible" before the world, what can be said for these newspapers, which for a few paltry. dollars, lend their columns to the Cierinan prop aganda to keep the country "Helpless and contemptible so that the brutal murder of Americans may continue and the nation take its orders ironi t he Prussian lugger? "Why should these journals protest treasonable utter ances til the bought and paid lor hypenated press, when they, themselves, for a miserable pittance, aid and abet the same program. . AVhal kind of patriots are Ihey when they joint the ranks of the kept press of the kaiser, in an effort to make America helpless and impotent'? Similar advertisements have appeared or are appear nig in all the large papers of the country, whose pocket nooks ont-weigli their patriotism. Jt is part and parcel ot the joint campaign being waged by Aniercan pacifism and i'russian militarism. Who is paying for these advertisements? "Who is pay ing to keep the powerful peace lobby at Washington? Who is paying for the franl it; "drive" to be made upon congress Who pays the piper national humiliation Mondav in the interests of neacc? for these strange tunes in behalf and surrender? The question is easil v answered. Who has paid all alontr for the propaganda to divide the American nation in the face of German aggression? Who paid for the destruc tion of our munition plants I Who paid for the campaign igainst the export ot munitions, and the agitation for an embargo on food? All have been traced directly to the doors of the German embassy at Washington and investi gation will probably prove that the hune'reds of thousands now being spent in the final drive to manufacture public opinion through newspaper advertising, comes from Ger man agents ot the imperial exchequer. Ju printing these advertisements, the Portland press arouses the suspicion that their patriotism is on a coninicr- lal basis. I hey do much to coin inn the world's opinion that Americans place the dollar above national honor. Alexander Peer of Mystics At Page Theatre Three Days WW" r J V i i!i V W ''-.''. lV ' ' ' ' TV 1 V f - Tho attrr.ction nt tho Page theater for three days commencing Tuesday, April 3, Is Alexander. As this at traction has never before played In Medford a little advance matter per taining to Alexander and his com pany is forthcoming. Since the retirement of the Great Hermann, Thruson and Embeigo, greatest Hindu magician America has known, but one, Mathama, or crystal seer, and but one great magician, Alexander, who not only has mas tered all that was ever offered by his predecessors, but offers the highest class attraction of this kind ever put upon an American stage. Tho first part of tho performance is a series of the most perplexing, as tounding and wholly mystifying and entertaining feats of magic, illusion and 'disappearances ever staged at one time by any exponent of the black art. The second part of the perform ance termed the Simla Seance, is ar. offorlng so unusual, weird, and baf fling that the most learned scientists and professional men in the largest cities In the United States, have pro claimed Alexander to be a brain rrar vol and the performance an occult phenomenon. The attraction will hold the board for thrco days In Medford, playing ono ladles matinee, clay to be an nounced from the stage after the first performance. The ladies mati nee is for ladies only and Is a special show greatly out of the ordinary In a theater attraction. tors nnd packages passjn2 through their hands for evidence of plots against the nation.

The cities grew and thrived, the railways came and the stage-coach disappeared. The people wanted a way to get from place to place quickly, and the locomotive provided it. To the early settlers of this land, tallow caudles, dipped laboriously by' hand, were good enough until some thing belter came along. And just ns the railways brought better transpor tation, the electric light has brought belter lighting nnd the old methods are f,i-t disappearing. Tlirouuli the enterprise of central sta-tti-n lighting and power companies now located in nearly every city, ham let, larye and small, from coast to const, electric lighting in its perfect ed form lias been brought within the means ot the most humble of cot times. 'I'll mm: h the untiring zeal of Ihe men wlio headed these companies, elec tric sen ice has been steadily im pi'voed. s,, that, of all the home ex penses iiH.dcru man has to meet, it is the one thing that has eo-t not more, but lc-- and le-s to secure. The electric lamp of today not alone I'or full information concerning our offices. gives more light for less money, hut the companies have consistently an ticipated the demands of the people for belter lighting facilities by pro viding them even before they were asked for. What this company lias accomplish ed for the good of the community if serves, ranks with the work of the schools, the hospitals, the banks, even the churches in ministering to the public food. Indeed there is no side of public welfare that has not been vitally affected by the influence of electric service.
