A Huge Precedent.


It looks like settlement Of the coal
strike.
Who has brought this pleasing situa
ton about?
John Mitchell? No.
The anthracite operators? No.
Who then? Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the United States and ]. Pierpont
Morgan, railway and industrial autocrat
Of the United States.
In other words: The head of the polit-
ical organization of the American people
and the head Of what may roughly be
people.
The political power caused it to be COM
municated to the industrial power that the
two great organizations would forthwith
lock horns in desperate struggle unless
the coal trouble was settled.
One man in New York had the power
to bring peace. Back Of that man were
millions. the concentrated mobile wealth
of the nation. One man in Washington
had power the New York man feared.
of men. The millions Of men are still
more powerful than the millions of money.
But reflect what all this means! 1t
means that the proportions of organized
industry in the United States have become
so vast that the President Of the United
States does not feel that he is doing his
duty as the head of the political organiza
ton of the country unless he takes a hand
in settling disputes between organized
industry and it's organized employees
1t means that industry and poll
ties are becoming mixed with amazing
rapidity.
Much Of the mixing heretofore has been
begun on the side of industry, through in.
fluence, good and bad, brought to beal
on legislation.
This time politics-the political organ.
ization of the people, the government
moves upon industry. This is suprenlely
significant. The move was made through
president who has been preaching ma.
tional regulation of the trusts. 1t is the
first move in such regulation. Observe
that he is to appoint the arbitration com
mission.
Time was when industry was Of no con
sequence and politics was everything. Nov
industry Is fully as important as politics

Despite all our theories we can't get ava!
from regulation of towering business or
CARNATIONS. If they are not regulated
they will regulate the government. I
through the government the people do no
control them, they through the govern
ment will control the people. We may no
take kindly to this new unfolding of tn
process Of social evolution. It may b.
hateful to us to have government med
| ding with business.
But who can dispute the facts?

"AII on Account Of Eliza" at the BlIou


Some time, somebody, somewhere will
dramatize the multiplication table or the
alphabet, and, if he be clever, he will
construct a good play from the material
thus provided To-day one Of the New
York theaters is housing play announced
as decentralization Of Moody and Sanlxey
hymn; Dooley is to be put upon the stage
and even Omar cannot escape. Therefore,
it is not surprising that Leo Ditrichstein
should have selected a song from "Billee
Taylor an ancient comic opera, as the
source of his inspiration and should have
named his play, now holding forth at the
Bijou, "All on Account Of Eliza" On the
program the piece is billed as a comedy.
1t is not. It is farce, and a rafting good
farce, too.
Originally Produced in New York; two
years ago, "All on Account of Eliza" has
never till now been seen in Minneapolis;
but it comes to us this season under the
management Of Jacob Lift and with a cap
able company. It was worth waiting for

| ma'am who has secured employment in

win for her the devotion Of the male
population just as they incur the enmity
of her country sisters, the piece pleases
| through it's quaint character drawings,
and it's droll situations. Nothing more
| diverting that the schoolroom scene has
been seen at the Bijou in many day nor
have we had more delicious love making
| than that provided by the teacher and her
, boy lover. The spectacle of a country
| school board listening to charges pre-
! ferred against a teacher, acquitting her
| on all counts, and then winding UP the
! meeting with a free-for-all fight is scream
! ingly funny as Mr.. Ditrichstein has con-
! trived it, and this is only one of a mum
! Der Of highly amusing situations.
AS for the people of the play there Is the
! dainty schcolma am, winsome, coquettish,
charming; the president OF the school
board, German, impressionable and eccen-
Istric; the town sport; a hen-pecked hus-
band and his strong minded wife; the
presidents housekeeper, self-assertive and
| ponderous; the village druggist and his
| better half, the meddling postmistress; q
schoolboy lover of the pretty teacher; and
the presidents son, who falls in love with
her in earnest and who ultimately wins
| her for his wife. Humorous In them
selves, the predicaments into which Mr..
EDitrichstein has plunged his characters
make "All on Account Of Eliza" all exub-
Iserantly funny farce; one that is too good
