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

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
