TAX ON INTELLIGENCE.

Among the many measures bsIore
the legislative assembly there 10 one
which should receive careful consid-
Grafton and revision before 1t becomes
alaw. We refer to House Bill No.
50 concerning licenses. The partic-
ular clause to which objection Is
made IL contained in section one OF
the bill, which provides that q license
of 5 a day or $50 a month shall be
collected from the manager or Lessee
of every theatre in the Territory.
This we regard as an onerous TAX on
intelligence.
legitimate drama is perhaps the
noblest of all the arts, having for lis
landmarks, music, poetry. painting
and even sculpture. Az this art Is
fostered IN q community so Is Its CIV
iltsation and refinement developed.
On the continent of Europe the
theatre proper is subsidized by the
Government, particularly in France
and Germany. In England there Is
what is called the Lord Chamber
lain's license exacted from theatres.
This lie merely nominal. The taxa
ton or license in this country Is an
nually becoming less as the fact is
now established and recognized by
the intelligent that q we'll conducted
theatre is q public educator, and
hence q public necessity.
It is not to be supposed our legisla-
tors wish TO close out legitimate
drama from the boards OF the Terri
tory, and yet the passage of this bill
in it's present shape will come very
nearly accomplishing that end. Even
under the present license the few thea
tres in the Territory are doing a very
poor business. They have to contend
with the so-called free shows, barn
stormers, croes-road performers and
low varieties. Legitimate drama
has had a hard roe to hoe with these
opposing forces. and it is a very easy
matter now to tax 1t out of existence
IN Montana.
During the past year artists OF high
rank in the dramatic world have Wis
tied the Territory, and while to our
shame it may be said they went
away az empty handed as they came,
the very fact of their appearance here
told more In the East of Montana's
advancement in the line ct social
progress than wagon loads of dry
pamphlets could have told. And yet
neither the managers of the theatres
nor the actors themselves made a
cent in their venture. Why, in the
very city where this bill is being con-
sidered come of the great attractions
did not draw the expenses Of their
engagement. 1t only needs a high
license to exclude them altogether,
and have our people dependent upon
the transformers and %cross-road per-
formers for their amusement.
We cannot see why the license for
theatres should be higher in Montans
than it is in neighboring States and
Territories. In Portland, Oregon,
with its population Of $4,000, theatres
are taxed $50 a quarter, aud in Salt
Lake, with its population of $1,000,
they are taxed the same. This bill
proposes to make it $50 a month, or
$3.50 a quarter, in Montana. Would
it not be we'll for our Lawmakers to
revise that section somewhat? Let
us have the legitimate drama as
cheaply as possible. 1t is an edu-
Gator and should be fostered, but tax
the low, vulgar shows out of exist
ence. .

of the leading citizens OF HALEY to tender

parations will be neither elaborate nor
vast nor is il necessary that they should
be. The Governor comes here to see us

worthy and deserving Of recognition. Let
us, then, endeavor TO do our best to en-

NINE. JANAUSCHEK
scores Another Triumph in ssNEary,
Queen of ScOts.,,

Ii Madame Janauschek wore q crown
of gold in which to insert a jewel for each
and every triumphal rendition she gives
of the great characters in her repertory,
the crown would be garland dazzling
with diamonds and pearls, and for last
nights performance another jewel would
be set in that crown.
In the Interpretation OF Schiller's great
historical character of Marie Stewart,
Janauschek acted with mastery skill,
and proved herself the greatest living
impersonator of the unhappy Queen of
Scots. The play is gloomy and powerful,
and the Incompatible actress imparts to
the character of Mary Il realism that
causes the art to be lost sight Of. There
is hardly an emotion she does not arouse.
Her rendition of the part appeals only to
the highest refinement, the broadcast in
telligence, the deepest feeling of sympa-
thy and the subtlest imagination.
The cast throughout the whole piece is
strong and gives entire satisfaction. This
is extremely gratifying, as it is too gen.
orally the case for great artists to sur
round themselves with weak support
presumably for the reason that contrast
brings out the star with stronger effect
The company is composed of well-trainet
people who, without the Madame or any
other illustIious star, could give an excel
lent performance.
Despite the slush on the streets ant
the Indictment weather, there was a large
audience present than on any previous
night. The applause was free, and thu
closest interest was given during thu
whole performance.
Tonight, Shakespeare's great play Q
Macbeth" will be presented.

A wan school-teacher entered book
store near Greenville, Miss, a few days
since, dragging after her small, fat boy,
who held in one little paw mutilated
"first reader" and with the other wiped
his weeping eyes and pug nose.
"Have you any first readers except
these 2" asked the school-teacher.
"Any except these? ?" repeated the book
man. "Why, ma'am, these are the nice
little books l sold you the other day;
surely you haven't any objection to
them"
"They have pictures in them and the
boys can't learn anything from them"
said the fearful teacher.
"Not learn because of the pictures;
impossible Why, ma am, the pictures
are put there for the purpose of helping
the scholars to learn. Allow me to give
YOU lesson in the art" Then, turning
to the boy "Come, sit in this chair, my
man, and let me see il you are not a wise
fellow. Take your book and begin here
on this page now, look good ut the
