Phop.e Main 81. FOR A CLEANER STAGE The management of the United Booking Officers has decided to bar from the vaudeville houses of the country hereafter persons who have gained notoriety m criminal cases. It is not to be assumed that the motive back of this decision is a moral one purely. It is simply a practical recognition of public disgust with the methods that have so long prevailed. Any accused murderess, if the charges against her were especially atrocious and widely published, and any particularly salacious divorcee were sure of offers to go upon the stage. No other qualifications were required. A long list of women might be given who have gone upon the stage with nothing else to commend them than that they were disgracefully notorious. It was an insult to public intelligence and decency, of course. In seeking the cause or the decline oi the stage this custom cannot be overlooked. The president is too hard on those Mexicans in asking them to quit fighting and behave themselves. If he knew them better he would not expect such an impossible con dition to be complied with. Marion countv is eoine to build some eood roads- many miles of them this year without any bond issuest back of them. That is applying good horse sense to ine conduct of public business. Those familiar lines, kept standing in well regulated newspaper offices all last fall, appeared in the dispatches again today: "The Germans bombarded Rheims cathed ral today." The Oregonian is worrying again over the low price of wool. It is only about ten cents a pound higher than it was before the tariff was taken off. A Galley o Fun! A special session of congress will be called if interna tional difficulties thicken. That is one of the horrors of war. !

This is the most liberal offer the Capital Journal ha ever made. The Capital Journal has just received a new shipment of the "World at War" atlases. They are of a later and revised edition and consist of 24 large, highly-illustrated pages, printed on heavy enameled book. The atlas contains splendid colored maps of all the warring countries, with routes of travel and railroad lines; many tables of army and navy and general statis tics in fact, the work is a complete ready-reference li brary for students of the great war. It is a book which would ordinarily sell for $1.00 or $1.50, but we are having them made up in large lots and buy them at a price which allows us to give them away to subscribers on very easy conditions. The Latest Edition! Just Received!! THE "DOUBLE-COLUMN PAD." (C'anby Herald.) The Ncwberg Graphic deplores the "double column editorial fad" which it says name editors necm to be olmeHHed with of recent years, home editors don't have but a sinfjlo column of edi torinls aud some don't hnvc that much Wo know one or two of the brethren who have n good "string" of editorials some weeks and other weeks they don's have anything at all. This fact may influence them somewhat in their like or dislike of the double-column style. If ono hns only enough editorial mat ter to fill a single column space it would not look good set in double-column width ami occupvini: only a half column i depth, according, to our taste. If he lias leas than enough to fill a single column space, or none at all some times, then there is his double-column hend calling attention to the woeful fact. Personally, we do not like the double-column style ourselves, regard less of the portion of the page it occu pies. We do like an editorial column 20 picas wide, however, such ns tho Tele gram used to be, or 17 1-2 picus wide after the style tho Benton County Cour ier follows. But, irrespective of the width of tho column, we do not quite seo the necessity of setting editorials in larger typo than thut used in the body of the paper, nor using the regular body typo nnd setting it in machine black face for editorials, as done by one ex ehaiigo wo recive. Two notable dailies reach our table, one from Mnrshficld and one from Salem, in which the edi torial departments could bo improved in iippeitrtince. (In the case of the form er that department could be improved considerably in quality and quantity of the matter given its readers us well; the latter is fully up to standard in this respect now since Fisher got hold of it.) From the standpoint of appear ance the Xlarshfield paper is much the worse of the two its editorial columns are 20 picas wide nad ore set in 1 1 point face. However, the measure of the column nnd the size of the type are after all but minor points it is the quulity of the editorial, the meat it contains for the render, that counts.
