LOCAL DRAMATIC NEWS.


visit Topeka this season will be seen at
the Crawford theater tomorrow night,
when Daniel Frohman's company from
the New York Lyceum theater, headed by
Howard Gould, will give a magnificent
presentation of the great success, 1.-THE
Prisoner of Zenda.'' This is admitted to
be one of the best gems of the romantic
drama. The novelist constructed an IN
known kingdom in the heart of Europe
and peopled it with characters through
whose veins surged the blood of modern
life. Since the days of Dumas splendid
''Musketeers" fiction has not furnished
more reckless. ready and cOmpanionable
lot of adventures than Anthony Hope
has given in his pen pictures of the mys-
FERROUS Ruritania. The dramatist has
taken from and added to the work of the
novelist. He has constructed a prologue
which Celebrates and explains the opening
chapters of the novel. 1t anticipates the
real story of the play by more than one
hundred years and gives an interesting
fragment from life in England $50 years
ago. The costumes and furnishings are
correct and superb, being the same as
was used in the original production at
the New York Lyceum theater.

Why is there no iUcome tax2
Because the supreme court has
decided that ar income tax is un-
constitutional
What does that prove2
Simply thattho constitptionmust
be amended.
The American people we're not
made for the constitution. but the
constitution for the American poo-
pie
The constitution as amended by
the supreme court every day that
it stands legallzes a crime against
equality, which is crime against
republican institutions.
Every day that the incomes Of the
rich remain untaxed whilethe bread
and tea of the poor pays taxes is a
day which breeds just discomfort,
fosters class hatred and encourages
the propogandists of socialism and
anarchy.
From the foundation of the Re
public up to 1895 an income tax
was constitutional. Then the SUI
preme court made its new discovery
that incomes were sacred.
The people who pay the war taxes
have the power to overrule the su-
preme court. They can amend the
constitution and include incomes
among taxable property.
Every man who eats war bread,
Every man who drinks war tea,
Every man who drinks war beer,
Every man who smokes war to-
bacco,
Every man who buys war stamps
for his checks and his kilograms
and railroad and steamship tickets
Every man who talks through q
War-taxed telephone
All these, unless they are of the
caste of. the selfish, the greedy and
unpatriotic rich-the hog-strair
Americans-are being educated in.
to a realization of the rank iniquity
of making the wealthy a favored
class in a Republic.
That. means poisoning the vel
of Democracy.
