Alien Doono In tho title rolo ot Joseph Murphy's old Irish piny, "Kerry Gow," mndo a big hit nt tho Auditorium thontor yesterday. Tho plot of "Kerry Gow" Is tho old tain ot the grasping landlord who holds (Gow la Irish for blacksmith), a bright, Hkeablo follow. Thoro Is no bloodshed Und thoro are no heavy situations that leave tho audience gasping' and weak whon tho horo thwarts tho vllllnn. Mnry Fortuity ns Nora Drew, tho girl whom Dan will marry In a few days after tho last act onds, was good. Tho love eenoo botwocn Nora and Dan, which woro froqiiont, were novor overdone. A feature of tho play Is tho scono In tho blacksmith shop, whore Kerry Gow makes a horseshoe at tho blaz ing forgo and shoes tho vllllan's horso, which may win tho raco on wldch all tho hopes ot tho Drows aro staked, "as woll as though It woro the horso of my host frlond." Tho news of tho rnco Is brought to the Drews by carrier pigeons, which fly in and llsht on tho dovecote. Mr. Doono won tho nudlcnco In tho tho mortgago on tho farm and will not relcat unless tho poor but honest father consults to force his daughter; to marrv the- villainous mortgage holder This melodramatic plot Is treated In a refreshing way with thn oft pedal on tho "melo."

"Gontlemon: I shall not burden you with a lensthy. mcosage, but shall try to got down to tho meat of what I have to Bay In n few simple words, feollng suro that they aro di rected to earnest mon who hnve como to thl3 council with tho slnlgo purpose ot tho city's wolfnro at heart. "Doforo proceeding, I want to pny my respects to tho outgoing adminis tration. Salem hns taken a long stride forward In civic progress un- dor my predecessor. Wo havo ac complished much toward bottor streets, bottor bridges, bettor parks, and aro developing somo or tlto characteristics" to which our slzo and lmportnnco ns a city entitle us. "You and I, gontlomon, In coming to this council, havo assumed public burdens which call for prlvato sacri fice on our part. Wo surely ha,vo not como hero for tho salary; nor for political advantngo, for It Is hard to two whoro any man can count hlmsplf fortunnte, politically, by get ting Into a council. Wo don't come here for prlvato gain, for certainly no honorable mnn would expect such n thin. Then, gentlemen, If those things are true, thoro Is ono thing wo must do In order to accomplish tho bet results for our city 'and that Is to have faith In onch other; have faith In each other as tho pcoplo havo shown tholr faith In us, anil in this spirit, gentlomon, lot us work to gether, not ns partisans, but as ear nest servants of tho city, having In mind only thnt wo otand upon tho common ground of good citizenship. "in my rotations with tho council I shall know no Republican or Dem ocrat. I shnll bo guided by no dic tates of party policy or factional preferences. Tho mnn who opposes my vlows and my policies Is Just as good as any othor mnn, so long ns ho Is honest In his purposes. In all wo do let its Invito tho clos est scrutiny of tho pcoplo of Salem Wo will mnko mistakes; all men of firm nnd upright endeavor do, nnd thorofo.ro lot us wolcomo honest crit icism. Tho volco of tho chronic crlt lo will also bo heard, but wo may tako satisfaction In tho knowledge thnt ho cannot mnko mistakes bo- cause he rnroly ovor does anything but criticise. TUo salvation ot tno nitv lies not In tho hnnds of tho critic but In tho hands of thoso who, how- ovor Imperfectly, do tho work to bo done. "I wnnt to say first, that I favor tho creation of a Chnrtor Board to rovlso our charter and submit It to a vote ot tho pooplo nt nn early dato. With duo respect to tho gontlomon who drow tip that instrument, I bo iiovo It adheres too much to tho orig inal document, nnd, nsldo from somo ambiguities, does not give us a won balanced Kovernmont. I will tako up a few features of tho chartor as I approach thorn under tho proper heads, but shall not bo Into detail. "Tho provisions of our city chartor limiting tho city tax levy to ton mills and road tax to ono nnd one half mills wero made whon tho cus tom of assessing proporty nt ono thlrd its valuo was woll established in Marlon county, but now, since our assessor has wlsoly seen fit to comply with tho law and place a full valua tion on all property, I bollevo tho limit on tho city tax levy should bo cut down accordingly. Full valua tion should mean low levy and tho tax payors ought to bo guaranteed as much. I bollevo our chartor should bo amonded reducing tho lim it for city taxes from ten mills to about 3H mills and city road tax from 1H mills to about 0-10 of one mill. If the old limit was right un dor tho old system, tho limit I sug gest would not bo wrong under tho now. I want to coneratulato tho admin istration of my predecessor on its work for pormanon pavements iti tho business district and for better streets generally. This has boen a crying need for years, and I think a good share of our proporty owners have como to realize that good streets aro not only a good Invest ment for themselves, but a splendid advertisement for the city as well. "Our charter seems to have con flicting provisions in reference to tho method of .taxing costs for perma nent street improvement. Section 0, paragraph 14, says tho cost shall be at the "exponsa of adjacent property holders, or at tho general expense of WHEN WK SAY BARGAINS THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WK MEAN.
