A PARALLEL.
A Police Court Case Which Was Some
what Suggestive.

romeo Court Case Which Was Some
what Suggestive.
Great Falls, Jan ia case which
was tried this week in the police court
i ma a rather peculiar state of af-
fairs existing in the conduct of the city
government. Two men who have been
citizens of Great Falls one for 10 or
more years, the other for four or five
at least, were arrested for violation
of the city's license ordinance. One had
been at work for three hours, the 9TH
er for possibly three days. Each had
unwittingly violated the ordinance
There was no dispute on that point
Each had the responsibility of support
ing family, each was a hard working
peaceful, law-abiding citizen They ad-
mited their guilt, if it can be called
that, when it was only a technical, VIC
iation, and one which the onlookers
declared that they would have commit
ted under like circumstances. The judge
felt that the attendant circumstances
We're mitigating in the extreme and
even lntlmated to the complaining wit
ness that it would be better to withdraw
the charge on the promise of the de-
PENDANTS to take out a license imme-
diately. Unfortunately, the complain
ing witness declined to do so--he was
a competitor in the same line of bust
ness-and the judge was compelled to
reluctantly fine these two men the min
imum amount, $40. The men declaring
that they did not desire to resist the
law, even when it worked an injustice
upon them, paid their fines and took
out license, total cost of SIS for
one days work. They earn their liv-
ing and that of their families by hard
labor, manual labor, in the streets at
all hours of the day and in all kinds
of weather.
There is parallel case on record in
a NM II, ys~Io
ordinance, but the surrounding condi-
tions are totally different. little more
than year ago "a firm whose mem
bers made their living at other business
had lease on the Great Falls opera
house. They wrote a letter to the city
treasurer in answer to his demand for
the payment of a city license on the
opera house and stated in that letter
that they would not only refuse to pay
the license due. but that they would
decline to pay any license in the fu-
ture. In other words, they openly de-
clared their intention of violating this
same license ordinance. They carried
out their intention. BY rough calcula-
ton about 5000 or more is now due
to the city on that license, and yet
1t is unpaid and probably will remain
so. The matter was taken up in the city
council about a month ago, discussed
in vague manner and then dropped
without action. No attempt is being
made here to draw any inference, and
yet it is worthy Of remark that the Of
tenders in one instance were compare
lively humble citizens, and the case was
of sufficient Importance to demand the
attention of the city attorney; in the
second case the violators of the ordi-
nance We're business men enjoying fair
salaries or incomes and the case was
not placed in the hands of the city at
torney.

That meritorious play of David
Higgins. entitled Eat Piney Ridge, "
will be the attraction at Harper
theatre Sunday evening. Nothing
too congratulatory can be said of this
work of David Higgins. 1t is worthy
of all the good words that have been
and will be bestowed upon it. No
stronger and better drama of the
south has come to the theatre of late
years, and the public are benefited and
instructed as well as entertained by
such seriously written plays. The
acting of David Higgins has in it a
style all his own, quaint, quiet and
pleasing. with a tenderness that is
reflected in his gray eyes, yet mag
netic in the sweep of power with
which he carries even the most diff
rant or noise He belongs to the new
and dominant school of acting, the
school of the natural. The whole
performance of the beautiful play,
"At Piney Ridge is handled in this
fashion and the result is fine presen-
tation of fine play.
Winsome, Jolly, clever Charles A.

singer, willappear here with his clever,
up-to-date comedy company, an en-
tirely new departure. Few names
are more familiar to theatre-goers
than that of KARL Gardner, and
certainly but few recall more pleas
ant recollections, for to see him and
his Troubadors is to see an artistic
performance, pure and wholesome,
Astounding in pretty songs, laughable
situations and refined comedy. The
singers are artists and have splendid
voices; the comedians are funny, but
not boisterous. This new venture of
Mr.. Gardeners has had unqualified
success. and invariably sends the pub
lie home in a merry mood of laughter.
Karl will sing several of his new
and pretty songs with his old-time
sweetness and effect. His latest song,
The Little Old Red School House, "
has made an instantaneous hit, and
his patriotic song, "Old Glory, the
Blue and the Gray" thrills his spec
tators. The whole concludes with a
very funny cake walk by the entire
company. and ali of which will appear
at Harper's thatre Tuesday evening
next.
One of the features of Charles A.
(Kar) Gardner's performances billed
at Harper's theatre for Jan. II, is the
original comedy work of James Nc
Elherne, an old Rock Island boy. Mr..
McElherne was born in Rock Island in
1871 and spent his boyhood days in
this city. His father came to this
city in the early SOS, and was highly
esteemed, having held the positions of
city clerk. supervisor and city attor-
new. He was a member of St. Joseph s
Dramatic association. The son has
ubtedly inherited his fathers
talents in that line. His comedy is
given full scope in Mr.. Gardeners
entertainment, and his work is said
not only to be laughable, bat also an
artistic impersonation. 90.
