Work for the Irvine factory is keeping several

editor from getting around to see his workers

AMERICA is having strenuous time to find her
self socially. In this respect she never knows Just
where she is at Who is of the naoude and who is
without it's glded portals is mooed question in
large cites and the position of social arbter is
delicate for native to fll-the native himself
having been an outsider but yesterday foreigners
who display willingness to umpire the game are
welcomed with open arms. This is probably the
reason why Mrs. Pat Campbell, the English emo
tional actress had all Chicago falling itself for
an invitation to her tea few weeks ago. It was
undoubtedly good thing for Chicago, but an evil

George Moore, in an essay on 'Mummer Wor-
ship" deals in intelligent with the apo
theoss of the actor by society He asserts that
acting is the least IF the arts it, indeed, it is
titled to be called art, and says that anyone can
learn to parrot the lines of play and the worst that
be said of him is that he is poor actor; but an
inexperienced person attempting to write a drama,
paint picture or compose sonata is yet far from
being poor poet, painter or composer. He is
an gnoramus publicly displaying his ignorance. Mr..
Moore cites several instances in which totally in
experienced persons have "leaped into fame" over
night through the medium of the footlights and
terpreted their roles successfully as those with
years of experience. Which goes to show that the
public is easily satisfied.
Whether acting is an art which Mr. Moore
denies, or whether it is gleesome branch of me-
chanics, as he sometimes intimates everyone knows
that the successful star more often creature of
clothes, good looks social influence than talent

sentiment One of the most pitiable
cases of the miners seems to be-
that of a widow whose husband
had been an engineer in the Markle
mines. The widow was left with
four children, the oldest boy of
8years. The company never offered
the woman a cent, but the en-
ployees gave her $3.50 to defray
the funeral expenses, etc. For six
years she kept her children i'm
school and supported herself and
family by taking in washing.
When the oldest boy reached the
age of IA years he left school and
went into the mines to help earn
the daily bread. At the end of
the first month the boy brought
home statement showing that
his mother owed 1896 for back
rent and the boys wages had been
applied to this account. The wild
ow submitted to this, the boy con-
tinuing to work and in the course
of time her next boy was old
enough to help earn living and
he too went into the mines. Like.
his older brother. this boy re-
ceived nothing, his earnings being
deducted for rent. It developed
on the witness stand that it took
the three of them thirteen years to-
make up the debt which was.
cleared last August.
When the time comes that air
will be used for fuel, what will

owners? But maybe people will
have to breathe coal then.
Some judges know more about
law than the average juryman, but
in many instances these pompous,
imperialistic, arrogant, "your hon.
or" individuals have no more brains
than the twelve nonentities who
sit in the jury box and try to look
wise. Rev. j. T. Mcfarland, of
the Topeka, Kansas, First Metho-
dist church was recently fined one,
hundred dollars by an imperious.
police judge for criticising him
because of a fine imposed on
certain individual. This in our
land Of freedom of speech.
Among the many wonderful in
ventions of this progressive age
the phonograph certainly ranks
among the greatest and most in
teresting. A few years ago the
marvellous performances Of this
instrument, it's reproduction of
human voices in speech and song,
ETC., would have been classed
among the miracles. For music
it is, in sense, far ahead of any
other instrument, in that it is an
exact imitator of any and all in
struments and anybody can play it,
or better still, it plays itself. A
fifty dollar photograph will do
more in entertainment than a
whole house full of five hundred
dollar pianos. But in this wonder
full age of inventions there is a
new self acting sofa which accord

wound up, it will begin ringing

The killing of poor William Goebel furnished a
perennial topic Of conversation for Kentucky. It
has continued for about three years. punctuated
at irregular intervals by confessions accusations and
denials. futile washing of dirty linen in public.
Youtseys last confession is the most startling up
date. 1t tells of dickers between the governor of
the state and outlaw it alleges that the conspiracy
to kill Goebel was concocted in the Office of the
secretary of state behind drawn blinds, and lays the
actual killing on the Howard, feudist and gen.
eral desperate.
On general principles it is safe to say the whole
thing is lie. A man that would enter into such a
conspiracy should not be believed under any cir
cumstances, and the fact that he in prison would
lead one to think that the confession is just play
tor pardon. This latter would be unthinkable, of

course, if Taylor did not play prominent part in
the tragedy, according to Youtsey's version. But
since the present Kentucky authorities have shown
such an evident desire to ge Taylor by any means,
it is not unreasonable to believe they would trade
with Youtsey for confession" that would lead to
his extradition It is nasty business from any angle
of vision.
But true or false, this statement by Youtsey
should be the last word in the Goebel murder case
at least until the atmosphere is cleared of rank party
prejudice. For the sake of its own good name
Kentucky should let the matter rest. Each new
revelation of degradation and crime besmirches the
whole state without doing particle of good. The
authorities want to try Taylor but they can't do
as long as Indiana refuses to honor extraditior
papers, and she will continue to refuse until the
world at large is convinced that the man would be
given fair trial in Kentucky. Until such time

MANY people, especially women, save Cnelr

and oftentimes necessities the while, only to be
dazzled and bewitched in the end by get-rich-
quick scheme that looks marvelousy attractive from
the outside, but which lands those who 'sinvest" in
it high and dry the rocks of poverty in a very
short time These devices to catch suckers are in
creasing in numbers all the time and because they
spend money literally in advertising few newspapers
have the temerity to show them up.
It is one of the paradoxes of life that people
who work the hardest for their money are the
easiest to dupe out of it. They will enter into
schemes and listen to explanations that no with
the slightest business experience would consider for
moment Perhaps it is because they have great
need for money, and see others making it without
doing manual labor that they such ready prey to
the swindler.
AS general proposition it is safe to say that
any investment offering more than six per cent per
annum is risky. Any outfit that advertises returns
of than ten per cent is almost certain to be a
swinde. Certain industrial stocks have paid and
are paying much this, but they do not need
advertising to sell them. The same is true of min
ing stocks. Any man or company with safe prop
osition that looks like six per cent on the money
invested will have no trouble disposing of it. In
fact he can go to New York or Chicago and get a
good many millions in day. He won't advertise it.
Of course not every concern that advertises it's
shares and promises big returns in short time is
swindle, but many of them are And or
