Few authors can point TO list OF sue
cesses so long and unbroken as that OF
Charles II. Hoyt. 1t is safe To say that
none OF mis- works ever received more em-
phatic and immediate endorsement than
did "A Texas Steer" when presented here
early in the season at the Providence
Opera House. The work was n surprise
even to those familiar with Mr.. Hoyt's
talents. "A Texas Steer" proved TO be
very bright and clever comedy, bordering
very closely at times on broader farce. lts
satirical exposition Of many shady political
methods was received with delight by an
appreciative public. and many types OF
the political han Ser-on were presented In
Mr.. Ho'ts inimitable style. Since It's
brief engagement early in the season. "A
Texas Steer" has not been seen here.
owing TO contracts previously entered into.
It's second visit TO Providence is now an
nounced and it will open for three nights,
commencing Monday. Mr.. Tim Murphy,
the talented commedian and great local
favorite, still interprets the part or the
Hon. Maverick Brander, while that
charming commedienne. Miss Flora
Walsh, has the part OF the charming
daughter, Bossy Brander.
Mr.. f. III. Sothern and his company will
appear at the Providence Opera House
for an engagement of three nights and
Friday matinee, commencing Thursday,
March 81. The young star neels no
special Introduction TO theatre goers here,
as he has visited this city on previous
occasions with his different successes
Since he made his first appearance as
star five seasons ago in the charming little
comedy 1.-The Highest Bidder" he has
gone on steadily increasing in popularity
until he can now justly claim 10 be one of
the most prominent although youngest
stars before the public. On Thursday
night aud at the Friday matinee The
Highest Bidder will be offered This plav
was Sothern's first success, as Jack
Hammerton the bashful young auction
eer, he has lost none of his old charm.
Lord Chumley" will be produced on
Friday and Saturday nights. This play
was specially written for Mr.. Sothern by
DeMille and Belasco. authors Of :" The
Wife" and THE Charity Ball." and the
leading character is said TO have been
drawn from life the original being an
uncle OF Mr.. Sothern, an officer in the
English army, whose personal bravery,
ombined with his eccentricities in the
matter OF drawl and augour of speech,
raised him To a marked degree of notriety.
The company is the same which played
at the Lyceum Theatre, New York. for
many months with Mr.. Sothern. The
scenery and accessories are elevated.
Prominent among the support are
Messrs. Norton Selten, Rowland Buck

To him and share In that unknown happl-

violin laughed at his bidding. The notes

with him. Then the man would toss his

cadence the violin speaks again and this
time tells a story OF Joy and happiness.

The official vote for Vermont in the
last presidential election is as follows !:
republican, 81 1892 democratic, l6, 1928 /;
prohibition, l ,424 ; populist, 43; scat
tering, 6. This gives republican plu-
rality of p, ,667 and a majority over
all of 26,9j0. This shows a decrease
in the republican vote of 1920, in the
democratic vote of 1853 ,and an increase
in the prohibition vote of SO.

As was expected by its most ardent
advocates, the woman suffrage bill was
killed in the Senate and two years more
will have to elapse before another will
have chance to pass. In all proba-
bility, if the women of the state were
united in wishing the ballot, they would
get it but they do not seem in any
great haste to avail themselves of the
present privileges in that direction. The
truth is, women are the most conserva-
tive of all animals they have been ac-
customed to associate the woman suf-
frage movement with short-haired and
other cranky females, and it will be
some time before they get over this
idea. 1t has been enormously stated
that this is the first presidential election
in which women have voted, in Wyo-
ming and Washington, the facts being
that the women in New Jersey voted
for the first three presidents, when they
were disfranchised.

The Free Press is a little tardy in
recognizing what has been apparent to
observing men for some time, that Pres
ident +. G.. Smith of the Central Ver-
mont is one of the brightest and most
able of the railroad men of this coun-
try. Although the youngest of the men
who are to-day shaping the future and
controlling the vast railway systems of
the country, he is none the less one of
the foremost among them all, and de-
serves all the good things the press is
saying of him. The Free Press says !:
President Z. c. Smith of the Cen
iral Vermont railroad is to be congrat-
ulated upon the success which has
crowned his efforts toward etfecting a
consolidation of the different roads unit
ed under his management. The con-
solidation has received the sanction of
the Legislature, as well as the approval
OF the Governor, and the arrangement
has been confirmed by the directors of
the road. In the conception aud pro-
motion of this project, President Smith
has exhibited a high order Of ability as
a financier, as well as an executive, and
his success is commanding wide de-
gree of attention among the leading
railroad men of the country. Under his
management the system has been sue
cessful TO an unparalleled degree and,
with the various roads in the line con-
solidated, the Central Vermont prom
ises to enter upon new era ofdevelop-
ment, improvement and prosperity.

EDITORIAL.

Good Roads, monthly magazine
published by the League of American
Wheelmen, forms a most valuable adj
dition to the literature on this most inn
portant subject. 1t always takes a vast
amount of talking before anything can
be accomplished and it will probably
take still vaster amount of talking,
writing and agitating before we see
much permanent improvement in our
roads. But the present widespread
interest is healthy sign. Let the good
work 90 on.

We think one of the wisest acts this
years Legislature has passed, has been
the law making the town system OF
schools compulsory. 1t would seem to
be as much the business of town to
take care of its schools as its paupers.
The expense will be less and will be
more equally divided. We have re-
Gently heard of school district where
a teacher is paid one dollar a day to
maintain a school for the one legal
scholar in the district. A few years
ago the same district had fifty scholars
and paid the teacher 50 a month. 1t
is a useless expense to maintain such
schools and under the town system it
will be done away with. We shall
have schools, fewer in quantity but bet
ter in quality. This has been the ex-
perience of all the towns which have
adopted the town system. Let us add
this to our Thanksgiving list of bless
ings.

Nix. EDITOR The air is full of
surmise and wonder as TO the cause of
the late catalysis, which shook us Re-
pubIicans so completely out of our boots.
The first Democrat you ask will have
the "McKinley Tariff ready to drop
from the end Of his tongue but, if he Is
an intelligent mau, he will have other
thoughts, which he will not care to eX-
press. The truth of the matter is this !:
there are millions of voters of all Sec
tions and parties, who are deeply in
debt, most Of them, perhaps, mortgag-
ed to the overflowing point and they
want cheap money to give them relief.
1t is vital question with them, COM
pared with which the tariff question
is nowhere. The Democratic party
promises such relief by its congress
men aud future vice president, and it
says to the poor man, "Give us rous-
ing lift and we can overcome any veto
of cheap-money legislation from our
leader" The voter, with hunger and
nakedness at his back pleading for sue
cor. does not stop to argue points OF
ethics with himself but puts his vote
where he thinks it viii do him the most
good and retires to happy dreams of
paying debts with sixty-cent dollars.
But, as a rule, he does not disclose his
intentions nor confess his act, for the
same reason that the midnight chicken
litter does not advertise his coming nor
boast of his exploits. Hence the uni
versal surprise at the unexpected ava
lanche OF Democratic and other cheap
money votes. But the honesty of the
thing OF course, it is full-blooded
swindle, but while the individual crook
goes to the penitentiary, if he is multi
piled by thousands, he goes free.

The Battle VIII Go On.

The republican party has met with a
reverse that may be compared with the
first battle of Bull Run but the exult-
ant free traders will do well to remem-
ber that four years after Bull Run came
Appomattox. The contest which Re-
publicanism has waged in the past cam
paign has been one Of the most impor-
tant struggles in the history of the
republic. 1t has been a struggle for
the nearest and dearest interests of the
people, for the home, for the factory,
for the farm and the school. 1t has
been a struggle for the dignity the self
respect and independence Of the Amer
lean workingman, for the preservation
of that high standard OF living and
wages which a protective tariff has
made possible and which free trade
would destroy. 1t has been a struggle
for honest money, and for the mainte.
nance OF national credit unimpaired
In this struggle the republican party
has had arrayed against ii all the re-
sources that free traders and foreign in
dustries could bring TO bear to break
down American protection and place
the American workingman at the mer-
cy of panper competition abroad.
The republican party has had to con-
tend against a vast corruption fund,
levied by Tammany Hall in the city Of
New York, with the addition Of con-
tributions from the wealthy friends OF
the free trade candidate and their fell
low free traders in other countries. Ii
has had to contend against the solid
South, made solid by the open, unde-
MED and fragrant violation of the Ma
tional Constitution, and inheriting from
slavery traditional devotion 10 free
trade. The republican party has met
these foes and, for the moment, has
been driven back, though not in disor-
der.
Its flag is still there. 1t still floats
to the breeze above the vanishing smoke
of the conflict, and it will yet float over
victories as great and as memorable as
any Of the triumphs which the repubh-
can party has achieved in the past. The
free trade, pro-slavery democracy tho't
it had crushed the republicans in 1856,
but the reverse of that date only stimu-
lated republican preparation for the
great success of 1860 and the added
triumph OF 1864. The democracy de-
clared, when Cleveland was first elect
ed, that the republican party had been
swept out of existence. But the repub-
liean party showed in 1888 that the re-
pulse had been only temporary and that
the courage and resolution, the vigor-
Gus and aggressive energy, which had
characterized the party in former strug-
giles, were as vital as ever, and as ca
pable as ever of achieving success

These figures conclusively prove that
the people did want change. They
further prove that they wanted prac-
teal educator, a man who is, and has
been, engaged in active educational
work and who is making it his profess
sion; also, that they did not want a
lawyer whose practice was sosmall that
he could not afford to give it up for the
small salary the State pays its superin-
tendent of education.
As usual, the support of the Watch
man was fatal to its candidate. 1t has
become an accepted fact that this once
paper now represents, not
the wishes of the people, but only the
selfish interests of one man, its editor.

of their own, others from dingy board

were to be swept away, let us keep

the past but as bulwark against su-

The HERALD was the first paper to
