Eclair Three-Keel Couture.
The American people have Bhown
their unqualified endorsement of the
"Passion Play" and "The Holy City."
This feature now presents a magnifi
cent production with the same atmos
phere. It will be one of the great suc
cesses of the year. It.posesses a pow
erful plot of the American Puritan
times.
Past artists of stage craft have had
charge of the mammoth tableaux of
this production, and every detail of
the many scenes Is perfect.
A cast of unusual strength portrays
the leading characters and the scenic
settings and effects are superb,
"The Crlmons CroBB" compels one
to think, and, while the charmed

eyes are busy following the nrtlstlc
nnil tnBteful Bettings, the mind can
not help but wonder at the iiclmlnible
strength of tlio plot which reunites,
at the foot of the crest, two human
beings of different religions.
The earlier days In New England
wore fraught with thrills and action,
The Puritans marched to and from
their churches with their guns under
one arm, and the nllilo under the
othor.
In this feature wo have tlio life of
the Puritans as a main theme, with n
wonderful presentation of the inclin
ing of the "Hosary." TheHe beautiful
symbolic tableaux will prove a jkibI
tive. delight to the lover of the best

and the men rush to meet the advanc

Juan bogs Giles to release him and
let him help fight the Indiana.
Later we see the return of the Pur
itan warriors. Abner has a -wound In
his head. All assemble, they miss
the captain, and Abner deliberately
lies, and says he saw him flee,
Prlscllla, stung by the monstrous
tale, accuses Abner of lydng. Giles, In
his fury, orders her out of the house.
She leaves, and we find, her rosary
in hand, on the battlefield, seeking the
captain, whom she finds dying. She
gives him the rosary, and he dies in
peace.
Prlscllla, returns home, and at the
window, her mother tells her that
Giles Is relentless. As Martha leans
over, she notes the passage which
Giles has Just been reading In the
Bible, and beckons to Prlscllla to
enter. The little maid steals down in
front of her father, but he rises ' In
anger and Is about to hurl his denun
ciations upon her, when Martha re
opens his Bible and points to the pas
sages: "For if ye forgive men their tres
passes, your heavenly Father will al
so forgive you."
"But If ye forgive not men their
trespasses neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.' Matthew
6:11-15.
Giles rends, and, turning to Mar
tha, says: "You aro right." He ex
tends his arms and folds his daughter
to his bosom.

OF
BOARD OF TRADE OFF
Hoard of Trade Committee Sees 'otli.
Ing Gained Except Permission
to Pay the Hills.
With g. determination to protect the
members of the Salem Board of Trade
from any unfairness which may result
from the consolidation of that body
with the Illlhee club, the majority of
the executive committee of the Board
of Trade last night flatly opposed a
proposition championed by President
Dick of the Illlhee club, to unite the
two organizations under one name.
This was the stand taken by the ma
jority of the members of the Board of
Trade executive committee at a meet
ing held last night with the Illlhee
cluti committee In the latter's club
rooms, and the result Is, the two bodies
have arrived at no decision and there
is a strong probability that the Board
of Trade committee will not sanction
any further proposals offered by the
Illlhee club committee for tho consoli
dation of the two organizations.
Decidedly Unfair, Says Hoard.
According to the records of meetings
held for the puniose of effecting a
consolidation of the organizations, It
apiiears that President Dick, of the
Illlhee club, Is fathering a pet plan to
unite tho Salem Board of Trade with
the Illlhee club in a business sense, at
the same time expecting the members
of the latter organization to pay dus
which will go to support the consoli
dated body, and exclude the Board of
Trade supporters from taking advan
tage of the club accommodations which
would rightly be due them In the event
the two clubs united.
For this reason, the executive com
mltvee of the Board of Trade refused to
proceed further last night or to make
any effort to arrive nt any defnlfs
conclusion ns to consolidation, and un
less every member of the commercial
body can enjoy the benefits of a united
body, commercially or otherwise, the
committee will probably hereafter re
fuse to make any effort .to join the
Hoard with the Illlhee club. Just
whut amount of work that could be
accomplished by tho executive com
mittee of the Board of Trade trans
acting Its advertising and other com
mercial business through tho hands of
tho Illlhee club committee, Is a matter
of conjecture In the minds of the mem
bers of tho former committee, but they
are said to be satisfied without a
doubt, that In the event the members
of their organization were not permit
ted to Indulge. In the work of the club
In consolidated form other than pay
dues and aid in the commercial activi
ties, there would soonbe a remon
strance that would probably dissolve
such an organization,
Would Ho Simply n Donation.
Under President Dick's plan of con
solidation of tho two bodies, the Board
of Trado subscribers would simply be
lending financial support to the Illlhee
club and their privileges be limited to
offering suggestions or performing la
bor In the interest of tho commercial
department or the club. Not until the
Illlhee committee remedy this will the
Hoard of Trado committee consent to
Joining hands with the club and work
ing for the best commercial interests
of the city and state In unison and lis
one largo body.
Just what stops will be taken by the
boa rd to effect a larger organization
remains to be seen, but there In very
little hope now of ever forming any re
lationship between the board and the
Illlhee club.

farming projects, and outside of legal
circles Is best known as an agricultur
ist and an educator. He is connected
with the Salem Fruit Union and the
Salem Board of Trade, and 1b dean of
the Willamette' Law College.
Hopes for Big School.
Mr. McNary has one ruling passion,
which be talks of more than anything
else. This hobby Is to make Willam
ette Law College one of the largest,
most thorough and most widely rec
ognized Institutions of Its kind in
the United States. For some years he
has been dean of the college, and each
year the enrollment is growing under
bis administration. Immediate plans
for the school are to make the courses
even more thorough than at present.
William M. Ramsey, who was today
appointed to the supreme bench, with
C. L. McNary, is 65 years old. He
first practiced his profession In this
state at McMlnnvllle. From McMinn
vllle he went to Pendleton, and in the
Pennoyer administration was a can
didate for the circuit Judgshlp in that
district against James A. Fee, but was
defeated. From Pendleton Judge Ram

What William E. Gladstone Thought
and Did
"SHOW MB THE! MANNER In which a nntlon or a community cnreB for
its dead, and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender sym
pathies of Its people, their respect for the law of the land, and their loy
alty to high ideals." Gladstone.
THIS SAME GREAT ENGLISHMAN USED HIS GREAT POWER to do
feat a bill before the English pnilla-ment to legalize cremation, and reck
oned his successful effort In preventing the English government from giv
lngs sanction to this method of disposing of the dead as among the big
achievements of his public life.
TENDERNESS SHOULD 1113 ENCOURAGED AMONG THE LIVING, and
no one would deny It to the lifeless form, which from the very nnture of
things has, till now,' been surrendered to the desecrating Influence of fire
or earth a choice only between violent evils, both to hasten the oblivion
of the sacred symbol which served bo well Kb alloted time, and without
reflection or authority, generation follows generation In poisoning the
earth and sea nnd the air above them with the remains of their dead,
THERE IS A DIVINITY IN EVERY PURPOSE TO REMOVE DANGER
FROM THE PATH OF THE LIVING, This Is the only argument for cre
mation, and we look In vain for umiuestkmed authority for such practice.
Tho soul revolts against tho total destruction of human personality. With
its preservation the stimulus for better living guides mankind on nnd up
to better ideals. So the sacred dust of the dead has a potential value. It
has been, It Is, It ever will be a civilizing force, and Gladstone makes plain
this fundamental thought.
Just to Remind You
A HOME HAS BEEN MADE DESOLATE BY THE LOSS of an only child
a little girl. Malignant diphtheria wns the cause. The exacting (unrantlna
had prevented any further spread of the disease, and tho apartment boiiBe
had been completely disinfected. Tho awful void, the continued Bllence
no call of childish voice, no sound of play or toy, drove the distracted
parents Into deeper grief ns tho days passed: slowly by.
FINALLY, IN ORDER TO SOFTEN THE RECl'ltllINO VIVID MEMOR
IES OF THE LITTLE ONE, It was decided to destroy by flame the well-
worn toys which were her happy means of entertainment In life. When tho father returned homo at the
close of the day, he found them all arranged, and carefully tied up In a neat package, read;' to be consigned
to the furnace.
AT A SUGGESTIVE NOD FROM HIS WIFE, In silence nnd with poignant reluctance, he made his way to'
the janitor's quarters and asked pornilBlson to put tho package In the fire box of the furnace. Tho colored
Janitor, who had escaped quarantine, and could not be Induced to return until It wag raised, seemed vory solic
itous about the contents of the package, and, upon lenrnlng, he took whnt Bcemed to him a safer relation to
the disinfected toys, which was the mlddlo of the court outside the building, where he waited tho carefully
planned cremation of miniature chairs, tables, cupboards, cradle and several little dolls.
IN THE MEANTIME THE GRIEF-STRICKEN FATHER had given one of the several pneknges to the flumes
and then another, more slowly and deliberately as ho lifted 'each one, and 'ore he had completed the list,
while gazing Into the devouring flame, he saw something that caused hm bo great agony ho fairly screamed
with fright or pain, or both, bo that the Janitor ran to his aid and helped him out Into the court before he had
completed his task.
SLOWLY AND PATHETICALL HE WENT UP THE TWO STAIRWAYS AND INTO HI9 BEREAVED
HOME, whore the waiting wife was told that the burning of the child's toys was unfinished, and that he could
not complete the work. "As I looked Into the flames," he said, "I got just a glimpse of the face of the little
doll she loved so well, then suddenly I saw her little face, and as suddenly the thought came over mo that she,
too, had been burned to ashes, JiiBt as her llttlo doll was being consumed, and oh! such agony nB I sufforod.
All was black; the flame lost its glare, though It devoured her toys, as I then knew It had her body, and I
and I I responsible !" And here a great strong man gnve way to unspeakable grief,
and had to bear a tremendously Increasing sorrow, becauso ho aw himself, innocently or wrongfully, with
good intent, yet nevertheless wilfully destroying In flnmcs the symbols and Ideals of Eternal life,
THE COMMUNITY MAUSOLEUM, with Its modern sanitary equipments, Its Incomparable chapel accom
modations, Its home-like Bholter from storm and cold, mud nnd mold; Its guarantee ngnlnst negligence and
desecration, offers the only complete and humane relief from burial and cremation.
IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE IN THE END, always comforting to the bereaved, reflects great credit upon the
living, and ever-Increasing honor to the dead,
