following story was sent out three days
before the Salt Lake engagement of
Arizona" opened:
The news came to the members Of
the Metropolitan Arizona" company

VII and Queen Alexandra had hon

IONA" at the AdelPhi theatre, London.
by royal visit and subsequent royal
compliment. Miss Grace Elliston. who
plays Bonita, read with interest how
Queen Alexandra had called Miss Oh
i've May, the Bonita of the London
company, into the royal box at the end
of act three and had paid her gracious
compliments

chance!" she exclaimed.

he has had his eve on you ever since
the 'side-comb scene You just do your
pTettiest in the love scene now, and
there is no telling what may hap
pen"
Miss Elliston very promptly resented
the implied reflection, upon herself and
the liege of all the Britons with a hand
full of rice powder, whereby Miss TaE-
lor's artistic makeup was for the nonce
not calculated to fascinate even a Nor
mon elder.

they would take the negro out, hang
or shoot him and sink his body In the
Ohio River. The Sheriff received notice
Of the intentions of the erraged people,
and by going around through Kentucky
and part Of West Virginia managed
to eiude the mob and got his prisoner
safely lodged in Jail far distant from
the scene Of the crime. All this came
along only a week or two after the
lynching OF a negro in Sullivan county,
Ind. for the usual crime
We mention this case because it hap
pened in Ohio, and is further proof of
what "e have frequently said: The
lynchng of negroes for the usual
crime is not confined to the South.
Lynchings and attempted lynchings OF
that character occur oftener In the
South than in the North simply because
there are more negroes in the South
than in the North, and hence the cline
is more frequent. That is all.

mako the eranlng capacity OF the con-
5cern, rather than the tangible property
Involved the basis OF capitalization.
But how is the government to deter
mine what the earning capacity OF
concern Is? AS we have shown. that
capacity varies according to conditions
Sometimes the earnings are less. some
times they are more. This principle IS
recognized In Virglnla's new Constitu-
ton. There was time when we taxed
railroads according to the value OF their
physical property. but 1t was tnaliy
discovered that this system was very
unfair to the State. because the phys
ical property did not represent the
true value OF the railroads Of Virginia.
Therefore the Constitutional Convention
determined to tax these roads upon
their gross earnings as we'll.
We do not see what the government
has got to do with the capitalization of
cording to their capitalization. The idea
seems to be that the dear public should
be protected against watcred stock
For our part we do not believe in any
such paterna!ism. When man goes
into the market to buy 1t is his bust
ness to ascertain what is the value OF
the stock which he desires to purchase,
and it is his business to inform himself
whether or not It is worth the money
which is asked for it. If he has not
the discretion to decide this for himself
he cannot expect the government TO
protect him.
