HOWARD KYLE TONIGHT.

The fact of an efficient decentralization
OF Nathan Hale's romantic tragic life is
sufficient to interest everyone having a
spark of American patriotism; and that
such a dramatization is to be seen to-
night upon the Academy of Music stage,
appeals to all who have the welfare of
the theatre in this city at heart. Every
American schoolboy has had his heart
warmed and heated in turns by reading
of the intrepid young school masters
sacrifice of his love, aspirations and life
in behalf of his country. 1t is a tragic
page taken from the darkest history of
the Revolution.
Nathan Hale" the drama, is an in
spiration that serves to reawaken in
every American heart memories of the
stirring and trying scenes and times dur
Ing the American Revolution. Mr.. Fitch,
the author of this piece of excellent
dramatic composition, has succeeded in
ennobiing and identifying beyond that of
history the man whom, clothed and de-
splsed, as an allenated spy, gave the
greatest gift in his possession, that his
country might live. The ways and the
means are admirably told in the play of
Nathan Hale" in which Howard KYLE
has achieved such a reputation. He is
said to wonderfully resemble Hale and
his performance is all that could be de-
sired. So successful has he been with
this play that this is his third season
touring the country with it. Several of
his companion players have remained
with him, including Florence Smyth.
Frederick Webber, Stephen Hoyt and
several others. Among the others of the
cast are Mrs. Nell Warner, Josephine
Victor. j. w Bramwell, Herbert Curtis
and some dozen others. The original
production of scenery and appointments
as used during the Knickerbocker Thea
ire run in New York, make up the en-
SembIe.

TEE RED MEMS BAZAAR.
Work Progressing Finely---scme Notes of
Interest.

The interest in the State Red Mems
Bazaar increases each day. Donations
continue to come in from every section
in and out of the State and there is
every indication Of an immense success
The committee here have done splendid
work and are still working hard.
This is also true of most Of the tribes
in the State. The Wilmington tribes will
make a great showing, and the news
from there is that all are still working
hard High Point will also make great
showing. Yesterday Chairman Dughi
received a letter from the Chief of
Records OF Washington Tribe stating
that the Red Men of that city would
hold a bazaar in that city for the pur
pose of raising funds to augment the
proceeds derived from the bazaar to be
held here. 1t is impossible to predict
the amount which will be raised. but the
progress so far made indicates that quite
a nest egg will be raised for the proposed
Red Mems Orphanage.
A good deal of interest will naturally
centre around the voting contests-a gold
headed cane will be put up to be voted
to the most popular candidate for United
States Senator, and another gold headed
cane will be put up to be voted to the
most popular member of the Legislature.
The S25 Royal felt mattress will be voted
to the most popular married lady in the
city.
The Monumental Theatre, where the
bazaar will be held next month, will be
handsomely fittedlout with booths and
the ceiling will be covered with holly
and evergreens and from this bank of
foliage will CLEAN hundreds of electric
lights.
The bazaar from all indications will
be the greatest ever held in North Caro-
lima.

MISS PRICE, THE MISSIONARY.
Speaks Here on Chinese Missions and Wears
the Native Dress.

A Sunday afternoon service was con-
Quoted in the First Baptist church by
Miss I.ottie Price. a missionary whose
work has been in Shanghai, China.
Many ladies were present and the scr
vice was most interesting. Miss Price
was dressed in Chinese costume, and her
description of Chinese life was intently
listened to. She exhibited a number Of
curios, some very unusual ones. She
closed with an earnest appeal that the
women of Raleigh would pray that
missionary be sent from this city to
China.
Miss Price and her work are Of great
interest to the women of North Carolina,
as she is sent out by them as the Eliza
Yates Memorial Missionary. Since the
death of DR.. and Mrs. Yates two mis-
sionaries have been kept in China as
living memorials to those grand workers
in that heather country. hesChristmas
Offering in the Womans Missionary So
ciety is to go to the support Of the two
missionaries now in that field.
Miss Price left yesterday for Green's
boro and will go from there to Asheville,
her former home. In the early spring
she will return to her work in Shanghai.

Another View of the Judicial Tax
Question.

To the Editor: I notice your two
column editorial on taxation of judges
salaries. The tax, if levied, would be
about SIS per Judge, or a reduction of
$500 per year for the twenty-one Judges
for one of them, l believe, mas listed
and paid the tax 1t is anomalous for
q State to pay salary and deduct part
of it for tax thereon. 1t would be better
to say what salary it IS to pay net The
average salaries paid Supreme Court
judges in the Union is $4,000, and the
lowest grade Of United States judges
the district judges-are paid $4,000 and
expenses. North Carolina pays her Su-
preme Court judges the lowest of any
State in the Union (save possibly one
small State), and it is barely half the
average, to-wit $500 and $3.50 for ex-
penses.
If the State can crimp from this $l5
per Judge, it would do the very small
thing of reducing the very small pay
given the five members of that court
SIS per year altogether.
But you say the principle of the thing,
Every Judge on the bench down to last
year, agreed to the. view Attorney Cen
Judge last year and this has listed l do
not understand that he differs as 10 the
law from his colleagues. This view has
been acted on as correct by CASTOR ard
Nash, Pearson and Reade, Smith, Merri-
mon, Davis. Shepherd, as we'll as the
present occupants of the bench, and they
were good lawyers and men of principle.
You leave out of your argument one
consideration: While the Constitution re-
quires the property tax to be ad
valorem, there is no such requirement of
equality of taxation of income or pro-
fessons. All that is essential as to such
tax is that all in the same class shall
be taxed alike. If a tax of SIS can lie
laid OH salaries of judges, $500, or $1,000,
or 50, 900 can be laid without laying a
similar tax on every other business or
calling. If two years hence another
political party should get the Legisla-
ture they could freeze out these judges.
The Constitution makers thought this
was possible, hence they put into the
Constitution the provision that the
salaries of judges cannot be diminished
What the State pays them as salaries IS
net, and nothing can be Tapped off by
the state.
The opinion of the Attorney General
has been the opinion of all the wise and
great men who have honored that bench
in the past Ruffin, Battle and others al
ready named Those who now occupy the
bench should protect the independence
of the judiciary by adhearing to the pre-
cedent that has been set The indepenG-
ence of the judiciary is more important
to North Carolina than reducing the
scant salaries paid them by SIS per year
The last Legislature raised the Gov
errors salary 81 900. That raise met
with general approval. Why should we
now reduce the judges SIS each? North
Carolina is, l believe, the only State IN
the Union that pays the Governor more
than the members of the Supreme Court.
In North Carolina We pay the GoVetno
S4,000--years ago his salary was S2,OO0-
but our highest judges only $500.
Instead of reducing their salaries $40
each, is it not time time their salaries
were raised?
