Theatrical Pay DAYS.

Every Legitimate theater in New
fork has two pay days union and non.
union. The union employees. which In
cludc the men I'm the orchestra, the
stage hands, property men and stage
carpenters, are paid, as their union reg
ulations demand, on Saturday night.
The actors, who have no union, are not
paid until Tuesday although their week
ends on Saturday with the nights per
formnnce Their salaries are held up
two days merely To insure their reap
pearanCe at the theater on Monday.
If the company were paid off on Sat
urday night unreliable or disaffeCtcd
members of the organization might not
show up on Monday for rehearsal or
the evening performance, thus weaken
ing the production. but If the weeks
salary Is held back they are reasonably
sure to report on Monday In order not
to lose what is coming TO them. Ac-
tors are distinctly tempcramental and
capricious, and If manager were to
pay off on Saturday night and there ex
listed any temporary dissatisfaction In
the company he could never tell wheth-
or he would have chorus with which

picked up the poker, heated it red hot

The result pleased him so much that
he elaborated his work and began to at

wood. These met with Il ready sale,
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning Of

MIR. YoUNG's POSITION.
[Scranton Journal. ]


How times have changed" Under
this heading Lafayette Young of the
Des Moines Capital clipped an article
from the Cedar Rapids Republican
which crlticises Governor Cummins for
not selecting Mr.. Young as one of his
delegates to the state convention. With
due regards for Mr.. Young's rights and
claims as a republican editor, We fail
to see propriety in the Republicans cri-
ticism. In the first place Mr.. Young had
voluntarily placed himself in "a posi-
ton where he should neither have eX-
pected or desired position on that
has been Mr.. Young's attitude toward
Governor Cummins that all who have
read his paper must have been con-
WINGED that he is an enemy of the gov
ernor. This has been freely comment
ed upon by republicans over the state
many having publicly reprimanded
MIR. Young for his abuse of the govern
or. SO regardless of Governor Cum
Minis personal feelings in the matter
he could not have selected Mr.. Young
as a delegate without having hurt the
feelings of very large and respectable
of his republican friends. The
savior of mankind did not want his
enemies TO represent him. For then
as now, they misrepresented. Consist
ency is a jewel.

WHAT MADE THE AMEs scHooL2

In this age of world cry for mer

oonfronts the trustees Of the Ames coll
leee for solution on Thursday of this
week is a serious one indeed. So great
tas become the demand for men OF
profound learning in mechanic and sell
entific arts, for men educated 10 &c
things, that the school at Ames has en-
loved a prosperity of attendance far In
excess of the growth OF other schools.
The class of young men. who genera
ton ago would think OF nothing but
the law and medicine as professions OF
sufficient dignity to attract their ef-
forts, are now turning to the state
school at Ames to fit themselves for a
useful and fully as worthy career as
electrical engineers, civil engineers,
sanitary engineers, dairy experts, sci
entific managers in animal husbandry,
etc.
This drift Of men toward the practical.

Into the literary arts has furnished the
ppportunity for the school at Ames, but
1t does not explain why the Ames Ag-
ricultural, College should SO far outrank
all other agricultural colleges in the
United States that it's students should
defeat the students of ali lands in stock
Judging contests and It's experimental
work attract learned agricuturists from
all parts of the world to It's classes for
instruction. 1t has not been the endow-
ments of a generous state that have
done these things. Ames has been more
than fortunate in it's leaders. President
Beardshear was a great man. He built
UP a well-balanced school in all of It's
departments but the one great force
that has made the Ames college known
all over the world has been its agricul-
tural department. The work of Jim
Wilson, that caused the lightning of
presidential choice to strike him with a
call to the cabinet as secretary of agri-
culture, gave the Ames school a ma
tional reputation. Followed by the work
OF Professor G. +. Curtiss, who served
under Wilson and succeeded him, it was
the accomplishments of the agricultural
department that made Ames known
across the seas, that excited the ad-
miration Of the practical tive stock men
of the Chicago live stock exchange and
inspired the visits of learned agricul-
turists from Germany.
1t is we'll that the Anaes school has
rot specialized in one department to the
neglect of others, but il has been the
making of Ames that its one specially

BUSINESS FEATURES.

No definitely unfavorable element is
apparent In the business situation. but
there are several uncertainties that en-
gender conservatism. IN regard to the
distribution OF merchandise. the long
period of lew temperature has curtailS.
trade in dry goods, clothing and other
seasonable lines. Stocks have accumu-
lated, and prospects for semi annual
aging. Regarding crop progress, there
is also sufficient uncertainty to main
tain high prices for grain, while the
manipulated position of cotton is a
menace to the industry. Labor con-
troversies still harass many branches
CT business; the building trades of this
city and the textile mills at Philadel-
phia being completely denloralized,
while minor struggles arc in progress
elsewhere. Even in finance there is
some question as to the future, altho
money Is now abundant and compare
lively easy. In two months over $22,-
100000 in gold have been exported, ana
rates of exchange do no: yield mate

sixty active railways from the high
record of last September has failed to
attract any liberal investment demand.

or all Of these symptoms. yet 1t is not
surprising that feeling Of caution
exists, and many undertakings are
postponed pending restoration of nor
NAL conditions. Foreign trade at this
port for the last week shows an in
crease of s994.741 in value of nerchan-
disc exported. while decrease of $780,
974 occurred in imports as compared
with the corresponding week in 1902.
Railway earnings thus far available for
June surpass last years by 1912 per
cent, and exceed those Of 1901 by ia
per cent. Bank exchanges for the week
st New York were 11.3 Ter cent smaller
than in 1902, and decrease OF 23.1 per
cent appears in comparison with the
same week two years ago, when specu-
lation was much more active. At other
leading cities clearings were So and SIS
per cent larger respectively.
After further moderate concessions in
prices of iron and steel. especially in
pig iron and partly finished shapes, the
market has stcadied, and there are in
uications that no additional reductions
of consequence are probable for the
present. Manufacturers OF cotton goods
have advanced quotations in several
lines, notably sheetings. altho there is
no attempt to secure prices in propor-
ton TO the present position of the raw
material Production is being steadily
curtailed and supplies of goods will
soon be abnormally light, irrespective
of the fuctua tions in cotton, for the
mills are not accepting contracts for
delivery unless the goois are in hand

HARMONY IN SIGHT.
Esprit Lake Beacon.l


The republican state convention
meets in Des Moines Wednesday, Cam
didates for offices of governor lieuten-
ant governor, supreme judge, superin-
tendent of public instruction, and rail-
way commissioner are to be placed in
nomination. and all are to be named by
acclamation except the superintendent.
1t is hardly probable that there is to
be any contest over platform express
sion. To what extent agreement has
been reached among a number of lead
ers the public may not know, but it is
safe to assume that there will be prac-
teal harmony. Governor Cummins has
been accused of abandoning his views
and conviction on the tariff question.
No chances are taken in the absolute
denial of this charge. If the state con-
vention should decide to repudiate the
party position of the past two years
on this issue the party would need to
go out in search of new candidate for
governor. No Iowa republican is a
more earnest seeker after party har-
mony on an honorable basis. 1t is by
no means the purpose of Governor
Cummins to put a chip on his shoulder
as a basis of challenge to any other
republican. He has no pride of opin-
ion in mere phraseology. On the other
hand, no man is more welded to his
convictions, and these will not be COM
promised The governor will make the
race this year upon platform con-
sistent with this phase of his character.
He will accept of his nomination in a
speech no less consistent. After the
convention as before the convention, |
after the election, as before the cleo
ton, he will stand erect in his political
manhood and speak the truth as it is |
given him TO see the truth.
Meanwhile it is pleasing to forecast
proceedings on the part of unreason- |
ing critics. They have already filed a
lien upon the unborn platform. 1t is |
so hard to kick against the goads of |
public opinion, to resist the rrevocabe |
logic of events, to cross the political |
currents of progressive republicanism,
that these are no less anxious than
others to remove the cause of conten-
ton. The mountain will not come to
Mahommed so Mahommed will go to
the mountain. But it will be with the |
yociferous declaration that the noun
tain has done the hiking. While the
party expression will be entirely con-
sistent with the position of the past
two conventions, an offensive phrase
which has been cruelty overworked,
NAV not appear. This will be exploited
as proof positive of surrender. But
they will be for the platform. SO will
we all. Governor Cummins will be
satisfied and everybody, let us hope,
will be happy.
