MlRrH COMEDY AND MUSIC.
A Wise Woman" Fills the Lyceunl
and Scores Success.

Perhaps the large audience Mt the
Lyceum would indicate that goodly
part of Tacoma theater-goers wanted to
see wise woman-it, indeed, such a
creature exists. There may be no
serious wisdom in the breezy comedy Of
that name, still there was an evident
ability on the part OF the women of the
cast to sing fetching songs and cleverly
handle ludcrous situations. "a Wise
Woman" is va return to fashioned
farce comedy Of the sort that Evans and
Hoey used to give in "The Parlor Match"
and which, because Of it's long absence
from the stage now seems refreshing and
altogether delightful. The house was
sold out last evening before the opening
overture was played, and manager Wor-
ley was obliged to place chairs in the
aisles to accommodate the later crowd,
or at least part of it. The other part
stood up through the entire perfor-
nance.
There isn't much to be said OF the plot
of "a Wise Woman" except that it is
laughable in the extreme. Complica-
tions were continually cropping out, and
the Strengthening OF the ENHANCEMENT
furnished the fun. Both the men and
women OF the cast are capable comed
ians, and the merrlment never Jagged.
Pleasant Interruptions were frequent in
the form o. we'll rendered songs. Alice
Geer sings coon songs with catchiness
that is charming, and she stands on the
stage in bashful attitude, as though
expecting the audience intended to pelt
her with roses, which she wanted to be
in position to dodge. Miss Balch, us the
impressed slavey, who couldn't get out
of her teens even in her monthly wage,
was amusingly clever, and Marie Lam
our made hit with the audience by the
handling of her part. Frederick Muir
phey, Gale Satterlee and John Ferguson,
the men of the cast, were satisfactory.
In fact, the performanc furnished a
diversion from serious cares and deserved
the success it attained. "a Wise
Woman" will be repeated at the Lyceum
tonight and Tuesday night.-Ledger,
Tacoma, Washington.

Teachers Association

AT the teachers meeting held in La
mar September 81, dates and places
we're appointed for holding six meetings
of the association. The second Of these
meetings was held in Holly on Decem-
ber ID. Every one of the excellent pa
pers promised was read. The music
was supplied by quartet, Miss Anna
Cores, Mis- Laura Millinger and Messrs.
Momyer and Mayhem with Miss Lulu
Wood as organist.
Lewis S. Barger, principal Of schools
at Amity read an excellent paper on
the attitude Of the parent toward the
school. He affirmed the question Of the
parents attitude to be of the utmost
Importance and in a great measure to
decide the efficiency of the teachers
work. The paper accomplished much
toward answering the parents question,
''What Can do to Aid the Schoolsp"
DR.. Libby led in an interesting and val
liable discussion of the subject.
Frank S. McGrath, teacher in district
26, presented a paper entitled "Seven
School Virtues-What Incentives May
Encourage Them?" He maintained the
education OF the heart to be even more
essential to the welfare of society and
to individual happiness than the intel
lectual training. ''The teacher should
sieze every opportunity to cultivate in
the child a strict regard for the rights
and feelings OF whatever has feelings,
since this is the cardinal principle OF
civilization, OF courtesy, OF humanity
and of christianity"
The succeeding topic, "Wasting Time
in School" was presented by Mr.. Nc
Grath, and was ably discussed by
Charles Shively, Mrs. r. M. Anderson
and Miss Maud Johnson.
Miss Minnie Billingslea read paper
entitled Education as an Investment
What is it Worth?" She raised the
question "Does it Pay?" and brought to
very satisfactory conclusion her prop
osition that it does pay financially, So
cially, physically, morally and spirit
ually.
Charles S. Shively, principal OF
SCll''oio ho NooiihSSs tSaN "a
prepared paper entitled "Serious Mis-
takes in Teaching Arithmetic" Mr..
Shively's treatment OF his subject was
original and practical. He pointed out
not only the mistakes in teaching, but
also the best methods Of correcting
them. The paper was discussed by
Lewis S. Barger OF Amity and George
r. Momyer Of Holly.
The school children added to the in
terest of the meeting by singing sever
al action songs, duet and chorus by
the primary children, a snow song by
the seventh grade and Il trades song by
the seventh and eigth grades.
The association adjourned to meet in
Lamar January Is, 1902.
The evening session was called
promptly at 7:SO. The Holly orchestra
! furnished excellent music for the even

The SOwer Shall Rem.

A mob has buried another negro This
time the scene was Tennessee. The crime
winch aroused the mob was a terrible one:
a respectable white woman had been mur-
dered in cold blood, AMI the community was
aroused to high pitch of excitement
1here was. however, a certainty that the
laws would properly handle the criminal
Ofnclals promised that the grand jury then
sitting should be asked for an Indictment
at once, and that the trial should promptly
fellow. The result would have been certain
and left to itself the law would have
promptly punished with death the cowardly
murderer of a woman. In spite of all this
mob OF several hundred men take this
man from the authorities bind him to a
tree by chains, saturate his body with oil
and apply match. Fence rails are piled
about the burning body, and though death
is delayed and comes through fearful tor
ture, yet it comes. Yesterday the commu-
nifty at Winchester, Tenn, contained one
murderer, who was being hunted down by
the strong arm of the law, and whose fate
was certain. This morning the same COM
munity contains several hundred men,
whose souls are black with the crime of
murder and who walk the street with no
fear of punishment. How far down in the
scale of civilization has the community
fallen in twenty-four hours? How many
thousands of such murderers are freely liv-
ing In this country today? The sower shall
reap. 1t was a bitter payment of blood
and tears this nation paid for having har-
bored and protected slavery. Let no man
believe that the scales of eternal Justice
have ceased to weigh or it's sword become

An Effective Bill Board Regulation.

A court decision just rendered in Chi
cago affirms the ordinance recently pro-
mulgated by the city government for the
restriction of bill boards The ordinance
limited the boards to size of one hum
dred square feet and required that they
be located not nearer the lot line than
twenty-five feet and erected to height of
not more than ten feet above the level of
the adjoining street or nearer each other
than five feet. The purpose of these reg
ulations was to prevent the elevation of
the signs high in the air in order to at
tract attention. and to break up the mo-
notony of great expanses of pasting sur
face. BY setting them back from the lot
line their obtrusiveness is diminished. The
court held that the regulation restricting
the size was reasonable in that board of
unlimited dimensions afforded dangerous
opportunities for disaster from fire and
wind.
Such regulations giving basis for per-
haps further billboard restrictions, should
be copied in every other city in the coun-
try. The nuisance has grown beyond toll
erance. Enormous spaces are covered with
glaring Autographs which offend the eye
and often the sense of decency. The land
scape effects are spoiled in many of the
mercal spirit forces itself upon the con-
sideration in places where the tired mind
desires most of all to rest from such
thoughts. Fantastically shaped and paint
ed signs bespatter the suburban scenery
without regard for natural beauties. The
chief nuisance is within the city limits,
where every vacant space is seized upon
eagerly to convey a proclamation of a
LIQUOR. cigar, a play or a nostrum. re-
gardless of whether the public wants to be
informed of these commodities or not.
The Chicago court holds that the munich
pality has right superior to that of the
lot owner in the matter of disposing of his
property for which affects the public
security or comfort. 1t would be well for
the District Commissioners trusting to the
local courts to take equally broad
minded view of the case to test the appl-
cability to this purpose of their authority
to prescribe police regulations "for the pro-
lection of the lives, limbs, health, comfort
and quiet of all persons"

The Cup Races.

1t Is doubtful whether any yachtsman,
however sanguine, could point to great ma
terial benefits to be derived from the con-
tests of speed which awaken SO much in
terest. Certainly there is no development
of facilities for commercial intercourse.
such as might be expected from steamboat
races, If such events should happen to COM
mend themselves to the sportsmen. But
there is an object attained whose impor-
tance cannot be disregarded. Two great
nations are brought into a relationship Of
friendly rivalry. and a mutual interest Is
established which extends to the popular
intelligence to degree which sheer diplo-
macy can never attain. 1t Is unquestion-
ably wholesome for two great peoples to
come together in contest in which tenn
permanent and courtesy as well as courage
and skill are considerations Of Importance.

pound. with the best of each, of Demos
themes, Cicero, Mirabeau. Edmund Burke
and Daniel Webster. Now she is knitting
her brows and wondering how on earth she
ever completely lost her head over a
rattling stump speaker.
All of this has grown out Of the south 9
attitude toward national issues and the
national situation. She puts forward no
candidate of her own. She offers no plat
form. She appears at the democratic ma
tional convention ready and willing to ac-
cept anybody on any old platform offering
assurances of success. Then when the can
didate is named and the platform adopted
she raises her voice louder than that of
any other section in celebration Of the
action taken. She seems to assume that
that is her part, and she plays it with a
zest and an abandon that leave her in a
sad plight when defeat comes, as 1T has 50
often come.
The south has neither candidate nor plat
form for 1904. Again she is willing to smut
her eyes and open her mouth and accept
whatever fortune may send her. Tammany
in New York, a crowd of the same sort in
Chicago, and the democratic organizations
of Indiana and Ohio, will exert more in
fiuence than she will. But when the can
didate is named and the platform proclaim

up and laud both to the heavens above.

procInimipE n Constitution.

The latest news from Richmond is that
the Virginia convention will decide the
question of whether the new constitution
shall be proclaimed or submitted to the
people before giving shape to the instru-
ment itself. That is wise. Indeed, upon
the decision of that question rests the
shape of the instrument. II the constltu-
tiOn is to be proclaimed this Richmond
committee of one hundred need satisfy
only themselves as to the new chart Tor
the state. II the constitution is to be SUD-
mitted. then the one hundred must nave
81 care to the verdict at the ballot po&'
This convention was ordered only by
small majority in a comparatively Smail
poll. 1t would not have been ordered at
all but for the desire on the part of the
democratic leaders to disfranchise the ne
groes And some of those who advocated
that wanted 1t done in the frankest and
boldest way. They were perfectly willing
to pay the penalty prescribed by the fed
eral Constitution. Their admission was
that elections in the state were not hon.
estly conducted, and their contention was
that the abuses could never be remedied
until the negroes were barred from the
polls. No other question was so pressing
as that. and all the other questions COM
bined would not have carried the day.
No sooner. however. had the convention
assembled than numberless other ques-
tions We're brought forward. and in some
eases radical action was proposed. The
suffrage question remained important, but
not all important. The scheme of action,
taken in its entirety, embraced nothing
less than a revision of nearly every form
of governmental proceeding in the state.
New offices in place of old. New judicial
districts in place of old New this. new
that. Nearly every member of the con-
yention had something up his sleeve which
he now for the first time shook out.
And thers We are today. If the suffrage
question were the principal question, the
convention would not hesitate about the
matter of submission. Nearly any action
as to that could. with the aid of the pres
ent elections law. be easily ratified at the
polls. But the fear of the people relates
to those matters about which the people
have not been consulted-matters which
did not enter into the calculation at the
time the convention was ordered, and
would have defeated the calling of the
convention if they had. The proposition
to proclaim the new constitution, there
fore, borders closely on sharp practice. and
IN the interests of the state it ought to he
defeated.
