The Populists of our neighbor
congressional district, the Third,
have renominated the Hon. E. R.
Ridgeley. Kansas hasno more homes,
or earnest advocate Of reform prin>
ciples than E. R. Ridgeley. He is
one Of the stalwart men ofb rains of
our party. Others may shift and
falter, but Ridgeley is always to be
found at the pilot wheel steering the
ship Of state toward port Of per-
mane,t peace and prosperity for the
people. Ridgeley will undoubtedly
be reelected and once relieved from
the thralldom Of bulldozer Reed will
supplant the banner Of the corpora
tions in the fore front with that of
the people.

Lieut.. Hobson used to cork up the

THE LITTLE RED scRouLHousH

A mile up the roadway from the place
where I was born,
Nestled 'mongst the roses and the waving
golden corn.
Stood the little red school house we all
loved so well,
And in fancy now l hearken to the music
of its bell.
o, the ding, dong. ding of its staccato ring.
The memory of it takes me back to life's
glad spring,
And l tread once again the long winding
lane,
With all the dear companions whom look
for now in vain.
There we gathered every week day, heard
the old schoomaster's prayer,
Lord, take unto thy keeping the lambs
within my care;
Then we loved one another, in happiness
we dwelt
Never asking of the other at what shrine
he knelt;
But times have changed since those dear
days of childhood long ago,
And folks today seem different from the
ones we used to know
When we were boys together, roaming thros
the field and dell,
And chasing down the roadway when 20
heard the old school bell.

every theater is occupied during daylight,
hours by companies rehearsing, and those
that can't get stage privileges are using the
various halls available for this purpose.
The "early openers" are out this year In
force-undeterred by sad experiences in
seasons past and gone. Certain managers
cherish the idea that after the summer
rest the public is hungry for theatricals,
and that late August and early September
offer special opportunities for good bust
ness In some sections of the country.

Tavary has been one of the prominent fig

a dozen years, and yet retains the major
par, of the vocal talent that gave her name
and place among the notables of the
musical world. Her advent into vaudeville
can hardly be considered as diminishing
her prestige when she has for company on
the bill such an actor as Felix Morris.
Morris and his company of players will
be seen this week in a comedy called 1.-The

thing in Mr.. Morris extensive repertoire

The American Invasion

A London season that has been delight
and a success, whether you regard it from
the artistic point of view or measure 1t up
by pounds. shillings and pence" would be
an enviable London season beyond doubt :
but the American manager who returns to
New York with these impudent words on
his lips has an unduly exaggerated opin-
ion of the credulity of our public-at least,
that portion Of II which cares enough
aboiit theater matters at home and abroad
to keep informed through reliable channels.
When these vain and empty boastings
travel back to London they will furnish
food for laughter among the comparative
ly few Britishers that are aware of their
utterer's existence.
English newspapers find their way to this
side pretty regularly, and, together with
disinterested private advices. they give the
lie direct to the preposterous claims of
artistic and pecunlary success put forward
in behalf of the three of four American
dramatic attractions presented in London
during the past six months.
Even the cautious Associated Press
cabler who usually paints the results of
American experiment in London in the
rosiest tints, admits that "the American
invasion" has not proved formidable and
that American managers have learned by
costly experience that English tastes pre-
sent problem not solvable by the same
rules which apply at home"
Grateful as the chronicle Of American
successes abroad would be to American
pride, there Is no good reason why sensi-
BILE persons should consent to have the wool
pulled over their eyes by those that habit
ually spin fairy tales for complaisant re-
porters in order to delude them.-Dramatic

Coming Attractions

BURBANK-(Advance Announcement)
The last week of the Bacon company be-
gins tomorrow night, and the company Of
fers the beautiful drama, Captain Swift"
for the first time it has ever been produced
at popular prices. AS a mention of the
peculiarities of the theatrical business it
may be said that this play was, at the time
of the failure of A. M. Palmer, one of his
most valuable properties, and the legal
complicati ons following his forced retire
ment from the managerial field tied this
play up with many others at a time when
it was at the height of Its success. For the
first time in seven Years it is about to be
produced, and to those who are familiar
either with the play itself or the reputation
1t enjoys mere announcement of its
forthcoming presentation is sufficient to
awaken the most lively interest. The the
ater-gong public of this city are familiar
with most Of the offerings ofthe theaters,
and are pretty good judges of what is what;
the past experience of both managers of
companies and theaters have demonstrated
this, and 1t is but fair to presume that If
they will not patronize poor play they
will attend the performance of good one.
In Captain Swift the public have just as
meritorious a play as Alabama" as we'll
written and constructed. though of course
the two are totally unlike in plot and story.
The plot of Captain Swift is laid upon
the life of a man who has been bush
ranger" in Australia. and comes to this
country to leave far behind him the scenes
of crime and make for himself new and
good name. His efforts to this end are
frustrated by the following after him of Of
ficers, who gradually tighten upon him the
web they weave of guilt. until in despera-
ton, and to save the disgrace of his former
life from falling upon his mother he ends his
struggle against fate and kills himself
The story is told in most interesting and
quiet manner, and the heart interest is
very strong. The play calls for plenty of
strong acting, and as the leading roles will

|caloric left to shrivel the worm sought by
the early theatrical bird. while the peo-
pie who stay at home are in the majority
and they haven't spent all their spare cash
on holiday-making; ergo, the prospects for
an early dramatic harvest are unexampled
Is there any optimism so genuine-and so
unconvincing-as professional optimism?
Howbeit, the dramatic season, brief at
best, has shortened in late years, and 1t is
not strange, perhaps, that many managers
and actors obliterate the lessons of the past
and fix their eyes hopefully on an early
opening.
