DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 0, 1007. HOFER BROS., pw" Proprietors E. HOFER, Editor. A. F. nOFJSR. Manager. THE JOURNAL STANDS FOR PROGRESS, DEVELOPMENT, ' GOVERNMENT. AND NO DEGRADHD LABOR. GOOD THE MODERN DRAMA. Tho present day drama, or a largo allco of It, or rather modern so ciety, had a fine Interpretation at Salem this week. ' A tremendous ovation was given Mrs. Leslio Carter in her presenta tion of tho Du( Barry woman, WHO WAS A MISTRESS OF A FRENCH ICING. . Tho drama reaches its highest flower of popularity in social circles in our cities with such a play and such an actress. Not denying Mrs. Carter's art, or reflecting on the character of tho lady, tho play wo refer to IS OF THE SALACIOUS VARIETY. It Is as rich and mouth-watering as old-fashioned country lettuce fixed up with bacon and drippings, home-made vinegar, plenty of spices, and sliced onions, tops and all. Tako a prostitute from tho mlddlu ages, who belonged to some rotten sprig of royalty, tho lowor tho hotter, let some woman who lias had a fow experiences of a sensational character Impersonate her, put a back ground of immorality around tho whole thins, and SOCIETY OF TODAY WILL PAY FOUR PRICES TO SEE IT. Tako a clean play Hko tho "Magic Melody," clean, sweot, wholesome as a dish of Oregon strawberries, and it draws a limited house. Wo nro n groat people, and wo lovo tho salacious modern drama. o CLEAN THE STRElTTS AND ROADS. hor people had been permitted to proceed with all their contemplated enterprises. To look at the situation from a distant and impartial viewpoint tho facts aro about like this: JAPAN WILL BE WORKING FOR FOREIGN MONEY-LENDERS FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO COME, and tho stimu lus given to national life by tho enthusiasm of victory over a great Euro pean power will require some curb to provont superfluous and damaging growth to tho nation. o "THE MAN OF THE HOUR. ;! THE MARKETS. I At this senBon of tho year Tho Capital Journal makes its annual plea (Tor cleaning tho stroots and roads. There aro main county roads so strown with looso rock as to bo DAN GEROUS FOR HORSES, AND IMPASSIBLE FO It AUTOS. A fow dollars and a fow days' work onco a year would make them -clean nnd smooth to travel over, and would prosorvo them. Tho same is truo of atreots. Our city nnd town streets nro scattered over and "LITTERED WITH RUBBISH, UNSIGHTLY AND UNSANI TARY. In a city Hko Salem tho streets would bo fairly good In summer If they woro flystomatlcally elennod. If tho ownor of tho abutting proporty will not clean them tho city SHOULD ORDER IT DONE, AND CHARGE THE OWNER FOR THE 'WORK. Look down nltnost any strcot in the city and behold tho rubblBh, old Tinpors, fuel wood, Wood pllos, grass and brush thrown upon them. Wo expect this pica for clean stroots to go unheard, and to bo in vaTn. Dut it is a duty regularly porformod by this nowspapor. o THE MACHINE PROGRAM WINS." It must bo perfectly npparont thnt tho powers that bo aro only playing with tho farmers who aro trying to got tho roforondum on several of tho most oxtrnvagant bills pnsBod by tho Inst loglslnturo. Thoy havo boon tricked and trifled with from tho beginning, and thoy nro no match FOR THR STRONGLY INTRENCHED MACHINE that Is running things in our Btnto legislature and Btato govornmont. Tho maohlno program has boon to tnko throo nnd a half millions of tho pcoplo's monoy AND ABOUT DO AS THEY PLEASE WITH IT. Tho ninchlna hns capturod somo of tho brightest mon who havo horoto foro fought tho pooplo's battles. THE OREGONIAN IS STRONG FOR REFORMS A LONG WAYS OFF. W. S. U'Ron hns gono over to tho cohorts of tho mnchlno body, nnd broechoH. Governor Chnmhcrlnln stnmls nlono for populnr measures. Tho Portland Journal, that onco vnllnntly contonded Tor reform, to got n start, hns mibHldod and Joined tho odlclal propngnndn. Thoro Is nppnrontly nothing loft but tho Qrango and somo of tho lenders of that organization aro standing pat. PliACES ON THE MACHINE PROGRAM ARE BEING PHOMISED RIGHT AND LEFT. Oh, woll, It Is oasy to ploy with the farmors. Thoy onco fired tho shot hoard around tho world, but thoy aro too prosporouB now to pny much attention to politics. o WATER CHARGE RUMORS FALSE. George Broadhurst's play of this name Is a double revelation. Thoso familiar with tho ways of politics wonder at Its popular suc cess, whllo unsophisticated sltlzens wonder that they could havo so long boon duped by political and financial combinations and plotters. An Intensely Interesting play, It 1b also A PHOTOGRAPHIC FIGURE OF SOME OF THE MOST LMPORTANT PHASES OF THE LIFE OF OUR TIME. To critics Indifferent to ovory consideration but art for art's sako, tho play may seem to lack tho light touch of an accomplished author who writes to please, but oven in this respect sovoro criticism would bo un just. Simply as a play It measures fully up to "Tho Lion and tho Mouso," nnd as a picture of plutocratic life It Is very much better. Whoever would understand the Interweaving of tho political methoda of business Interests and tho business methods of political interests, may seo It exemplified In this play. ' I ' "'I' 'ilJS!!flWigwr, EVERY TYPE IS HERE, FROM THE UNSCRUPULOUS ' POLITICAL BOSS, AND HIS EQUALLY UNSCRUPULOUS BUT SMOOTHER PART NER IN INIQUITY, THE GREAT FINANCIER, DOWN THROUGH ALL GRADES OF GRAFTERS TO THE POOR DEVIL OF A WEAKLING ALDERMAN who has tho misfortune to bo In debt when his voto Is needed by the comblno. Tho foil to the villainy Is a young mayor, with tho courage of his con victions. His grcntest temptation, which ho painfully withstands, Is a deslra to shield his honored father's memory from a threatened oxposuro of tho secret graft upon which ho had bulltwhat was commonly supposed to bo an untainted fortune This play is not a satire. Nor is It nn exaggeration in any other senso than that It resorts to legitimate dramatic devices for emphasizing certain features which In real llfo might bo moro soft and mellow though no more righteous. It offers a liboral education In citizenship. Home I Tho farmers In tho wost havo boon grontly nlnrmod In tho last fow wookH by tho persistant circulation of a roport to tho effect thnt tho ad ministration WAS PIIEI'AHI.VG TO MAKE A CHARGE FOR WATER durlvud from tho National forosts and usod for Irrigation and other gon ornl purposes; Tho roport, It nppoars, has not the slightest bnsls of fact, nnd has boon donlod by olllcluls of tho Forost Sorvlco. People or tho sections of tho wost whoro Irrigation has boon such nn Important factor In dovolopmont woro naturally much concornod In tho rumored ohargo for wator coming from tho National Forosts. Tho lutorosts of pooplo concerned with forestry nnd Irrigation nro much tho Htimo, as tho Htondy flow of most of tho Irrigating Btroams IS ABSOLUTELY DEPENDENT UPON THE PRESERVATION OF THE FOREST WATERSHEDS. In u long lottor to Hon. Edward T.Taylor, of Glenwood Springs, Colo rmlo, concerning tho rumored charge for wntor for Irrigation, Forostor Plnohot saya that ho doos not bollove that thoro over should bo, or ovor Will bo. A CHARGE FOR WATER 1')R IRRIGATION. Tho orronoous report was founded on mlsundorstnmllngs rognrdlng tho ohargos which oloctrlo power companies nro roqulred to pay for uso and ocoupancy of lauds In tho National forosts for reservoir Bltos, con duit rights of way and powor stations. This clinrgo Is sololy for tho uso of tho lnnds, bnsod on their vnluo for Btioh purpose, nnd Is not In any sonso a chnrgo for water. Tho appro priation and uso of wator Is rogulntod sololy by tho stato, and THE FOR KS'!' SERVICE HAS NO JURISDICTION IN THE MATTER. In tho caso of tho irrigation projoctb, tho Foroat Sorvlco doo's not ovon oliargo Tor tho uso of lands for rosorvolrs nnd canals. Hundreds of per mits havo boon Issued by tho Forostor to occupy nnd uso National Forest lands for Irrigation rosorvolrs nnd conduits, nnd auoh permits nro always grautud fruo. The Pope's Locb. Should It turn out true, as so many newspaper correspondents In Rome nro predicting, thnt Plus X will ro llovo Cardinal Kaphaol Worry dol Val of tho post of pontifical socrotary of slate, tho wholo Vatican must mourn Its most ollglblc scapogoat. For this youngest nnd most conspicuous of nil tho mombors of tho sacred col lego performs for his Holiness that function of bearing tho blnmo for ov ory embarrassing situation which renders William Loob, Jr., so com forting to tho President of tho Unit-.! cd Stntes. Thoro would bo pcaco now botweon Franco and tho Vntlcnn woro It not for tho blind tolernnco of tho pontifical secretary of Btnto, ev en as thoro novor, nccording to somo, would havo boon any mention of "undoslrablo cltlzons" If Mr. Loob woro not concerned with presidential corrospondenco. Vhon a Michigan browor sent Mr. Roosovolt GO bottles of beer, Mr. Loob had to enduro tho luovitablo censures of tho Woman's Tompornuco Union. When n caso of anti-clerical wlno was admitted to tho Vatican, It was easily demon strated that Cardinal Merry dol Val must bo at fault. Out of tho flutter occasioned by tho publication of tho Roosovcltlan countonnnco In cortnln "Fads and Fanclos" grow tho theory that Mr. Locb had mislaid Importnnt letters. When tho Fronch bishops talked In conforoco of ngreolng to separation of church nnd stnto, Car dinal Morry dol Val plunged n re public Into nn uproar by convoying wrong improsslons to tho Popo. It has been affirmed in Llfo that Mr. Loob fools soaslck whonevor tho President Is at soa, and It Is main tained by tho Flgnro that If a dog bit tho Popo tho pontifical socrotary of stato would hurry to tho Pastour Institute. Now, It Is rumorod, Mr. Loob Is soon to rotlro from his re sponsible position, nnd a successor to Cardinal Morry dol Vnl may soon bo In office. From Curront Lltornturo for Juno. i land, secretary.
