The younger theater-goers can be

they would understand the spirit of
that comedy of the beginning of the
century which actors of the old school
reveled in playing, and some of the
characters of which made the reputa-
lions of the greatest. They will find the
wholesome. gay, affected but attractive
tone which has entirely disappeared
from the stage now. Grace, buoyancy
and elegance of style and of action
give II to us the sense of unreality that
is so pleasant in face of the realism of

not to call the modern drama vulgar

MeKlnIey'S Popularity.

II after the Herculean labors and
princely expenditures OF the allied
wealth Of the country Mckinley could do
no better than the late returns show he
has done, the man can lay little claim to
popularity, In all likelihood, Mckinley
cares nothing for popularity. Through
out his political career he has sought
to have the vested interests Of the
country on his side. His political rec
ord would indicate that in this he has
been wise Yet it must be humiliating
to him to perceive that, with the
tremendous odds in bis favor, he escaped
defeat rather narrowly. All the wealth
Of the country, every corporation, the
united railroad power and each Of the
vested interests worked night and day
to gain the victory over man without
means or influence except his hold upon
the respect and affection Of the plain
people. Even then Mckinley only wins!

slmpIer gystem Of Land Tltlea.

While the new Legislature is sconsider-
ing matters which will inure to the
benefit ofthe taxpayers, it would be an
excellent idea to consider the advisability
Of putting into operation the Torrens
system OF land transfers. A fair idea may
be obtained Of the manner in which this
system works By an examination Of the
following with reference to it, taken
from the Toledo Blade:
"The Australian system Of land trans
fer was adopted in Australia In 1853, and
is called the 'Torrens plan,' from the
originator. The salient points are these.
The land owner goes before the Registrar
General and proves his title, the same az
he would In court Of law. II his proof
is satisfactory, that official issues TO him
a certificate, setting forth that he ia the
owner Of that parcel Of land. From that
time that particular parcel Of land cannot
be conveyed by deed. The certificate is
evidence Of title in any court Of law. No
one can 60 beyond it for any purpose.
1t is not only certificate Of title, but
a government warrant Of that. When
the owner wishes to sell the land, he
returns the certificate to the Registrar
General, who issues another to the pur.
chaser. The same process ia used to
sell portion Of the land; certificate
is issued to the purchaser for the part
he has bought, and a new one to the
original owner for the portion he still
holds.
"The fee is mere triAs. The placing
Of a mortgage on the land is equally
simple, and the Fee is insignificant.
There is no tedious search, no abstract
Of little to be made out. Real estate
can be transferred as simply and OK.
peditiously as certificates OF stock are
now. In fact, there is no legitimate
object which land owner can accom-
plish under existing law which cannot
be accomplished more safely, and at far
less expense under the Australian
system. By the registration Of titles,
fraud is impossible, simplicity takes
the place Of complexity, and the cost
has been enormously reduced. Il has
been in operation in South Australia for
thirty-five years, and in New South
Wales for thirty years. 1t has given
full satisfaction, and no less than eight

The New York Herald recently devoted
a large amount Of space to an expose Of the
methods Of attorneys In Oklahoma divorce
cases. A Herald reporter wrote to an Ok
lshoma law frm, using fictitious woman's
name, saying that divorce was desired,
that the location Of the husband was un-
known, that she had an opportunity to re-
marry to rich man, but that she was
unable to take the time necessary to 90 to
Oklahoma, and an inquiry was made as to
whether 1t would not be possible to secure
a decree without leaving home. AT first
the firm was evasive and called attention
to the dangers Of such q proceeding, but
later offered to furnish the decree for $3.50,
intimating that an Oklahoma woman would
be secured who would assume the alleged
New York woman's name and appear for
her in court. The decree was obtained
Further investigation on the part of the
Herald shows that the signatures Of the
Judge and the Clerk were fOrgeries and
that the seal Of the court was used without
authority. 1t also appeared that the rec
ords Of the court contained no mention Of
the case whatever. The matter caused a
sensation and ought TO result In something
being done to prevent such things In the
future.

Representative Outcalt of COffey,
although instructed for Senator PETER,
has decided to vote for John Madden
for Senator. Mr.. OutCalt arrives at
this conclusion because his impression
is that in so going he will be represent
ing the present wishes Of his people,
who believe that the recent fight made
by Mr.. Madden entities him to the
highest honor In their gift. If every
man who has a voice In the election Of
United States Senator will ascertain
the wishes of his constituents and vote
accordingly there can be no room for
complaint on the part Of anyone.
The result in Cherokee county Is
especially fattering to the workers Of
that county. The campaign made by
Senator Householder and the local
candidates was decidedly effective be-
cause of the fact that they fully under.

understood and believed In them.
Chairman G. d. Arnold had charge Of
the campaign, and he was ably as
sisted In his efforts by the energies of
the silver forces of the county. The
overwhelming victory, resulting In
Cherokee's majority exceeding that Of
any other county, is ample evidence of
the fact that the work was done well.

has been elected to the House by his
constituents five times. His elections
occurred in 1890, 1892, 1893, 1894 and
1896. The extra election of 1893 came
about because Of the fact that he was
