The Advance I'm Drama.
From the Chicago Tribune.


(Mrs. Lantry announces that she will
have a drama written which is to have
as its central theme the marconigraph.)
So now they'll dramatic the dim,
ethereal marconigraph?
No doubt they'll have a curtain raiser
of a one act photograph.
Perhaps the heroine who tells her grief,
instead of moaning it,
Will drop a nickel in the slot and go
to telephQning it;
And when the villain in the play grows
glum and cigarettical
They'll put him in an X-ray tube and
make hiS fate hermetical.
o. what a mondrous chance our drama
lists have missed all thoughtless-
ly!
Their comic operas and play have all
been running plotlessly--
But what if, while the dramatists were
singing ink so tirelessly,
They had awakened to the worth of
turning them out wirelesslyi
An. then we might have seen a play
wherein the star some box eyed
less,
Also a gay soubrette or two whose hair
was all peroxideless.
All, yes, we've seen the ballet girls.
who seemed put up 80 girthiess-
ly;
Also the great comedians. who spring
their gags so mlrthlessly.
But now we are 10 have a play ad-
vanced with all the sciences.

Three-quarters of century ago the
souters of Kingdom had the reputa-
ton of making the best shoes and
boots in the Kingdom of Fife, says the
Scottish American. The best were said
to come from two of them. A third,
Willie Peden, made neither good shoes
nor boots, but was much employed as
a cobbler. He added to his scanty
income by keeping a school for chill
dren. While at work on his stool his
pupils sat around him. doing their les
sons.
He used the Bible, the whole Bible
and nothing but the Bible, as his
school book. and the multiplication ia
BILE was well taught by word of mouth.
Under his care the young scholars
made rapid progress, and, in fact,
greater progress than they would have
done at the parish school.
At times Willie had an order for
pair of shoes. He disapproved of
rights and let's as extraVagant wear,
and trusted to mere inspection of the
foot for measurements.
A Kingdom lady, who was amused
by his lively talk, gave him an order,
but found the shoes he sent were much
too small, and altogether a bad fit.
She called at his shop to complain and
found him cobbling, while busy with
his young class.
boy was reading the Old Testa-
ment, when he stopped, puzzled by
big word. Willie called out to him:
"Fickly word; pass over; the name of
some great town or city now un-
known" The boy continued TO read,
and the souter, turning to his custom
err said: MOO mem, but l Gamma
make a foot. It's your feet, not my
shoe, that's to blame. Squeeze them
in and have faith and patience like
Job, and my shoes will bring them to

The proposition to make special
Louisiana. Purchase Exposition two
cent postage stamp, bearing the like
ness of Napoleon Bonaparte, does not
seem to be meeting with great favor.
The popular idea seems to be that
Thomas Jeffersons picture should
adorn the stamp; and then there is
doubt that it would be quite the proper
thing to put the portrait of a foreign
emperor on an American postage
stamp. 1t is true that of the Column
bian Exposition series of postage
stamps one stamp bore the likeness Of
Columbus, and another. the 81 stamp
the likeness of Queen Isabella of
Spain, but Columbus was not Of
royal blood and the country had rea-
son to feel kindly towards Isabella.
There isn't any especial reason for
showing the proposed courtesy to the
memory of NAPOLEON, aside from the
fact that he was Emperor of France
at the time of the purchase. He got
the money for what he sold; Isabella
got only glory for her connection with
the new world.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) saws.
ANY man who can win is my choice
for a candidate for the Democratic
nomination next year. said Congress-
man Maddox, of Georgia, to a Wash
ington Post reporter the other day.-
That's harmony with a big H Mr.
Maddox didn't say who he thought the
man was, but he is doubtless quite
sure of the one who would not win"
The Charleston Post (Dem) says;
mo longer does Postmaster General
Payne airily wave away the charges
of improper administration of his de-
partment, nor characterize them as
hot air and stump speeches. He
is plainly flying signals of distress and
no wonder. Doubtless, too, he has
heard from his strenuous chief in the
West, who used to be a civil service
reformer but is now playing a role
much more sensitive to scandal in adj
ministration of the government, that
of candidate for the presidency in
succession to himself"
Discussing Postmaster General Payne.
the New York World (Dem) says:
When we know that he is purely
politician, with no other than a poll
and public duty, we have answered
the question Why and what is Payne 2
but the problem Why is Payne?' still
remains to be solved. For that in
wolves another personality-that of
Theodore Roosevelt. How did Mr..
Roosevelt ever come to give Payne
great office which the amiable Nc
Kinley had steadfastly refused? From
the point of view Of the Presidents
character and principles such an APP
pointment, like that of Clarkson to be
surveyor of the port of New York and
Byrne to be district attorney of Della
ware is an insoluble mystery. But
when we know that Payne was
political partner of Hanna and that
by appointing him the President at
once attached an expert political
manipulation to his own service and
detached him from that OF a possibly
dangerous rival. we have an expiana-
ton that covers the whole ground. The
Roosevelt OF ten years ago would not
have been capable OF making such an
appointment for such reasons but the

Speaking of baseball, says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph, there is a certain
resourceful young man in this town
who recently decided that the unfurling
of a championship pennant for the first
time in nineteen years was an event
not to be passed over regardless. He
is clerk and his office hours are from
9 a. m. to p. m. Last Wednesday
morning he failed to appear at mis-
desk. Instead his employer received a
note, announcing his sudden and UNI
expected indisposition.
The young man was faithful en-
ploye, and his employer was only too
willing to excuse him under the cir
cumstdnces. On the day following the
opening game the clerk had entirely
recovered. AS he entered his place of
business, the man who pays his salary
politely inquired after his health. Re
ceiving a satisfactory reply, the en-
ployer remarked, casually:
Il hope you enjoyed the game"
What gamer" queried the clerk.
1.-THE Boston Athletic baseball game"
was the reply.
The young man was about to enter
a protest, when his employer handed
him copy of a newspaper containing
a sectional view of the "bleachers'
at the ball park. 1t included life
like a portrait of the recalcitrant clerk.

Giving German a Show.

An urchin with his back bent under
a load of merchandise pushed his way
into Senator Germans private Office in
the Home building, in Washington, a
month ago, and sung out:
Want any rat traps to-day?"
The Senator was in a playful humor,
says the Baltimore Herald.
Don't you know Jay Gould started
life selling rat traps?' he asked.
Who's Jay Gould?' said the boy,
with a show of interest.
He was one of the richest men in
the country; and you have just as
much chance as he had" explained the
Marylander.
The youngster was lost in thought
for a moment. Then he turned to the
Senator with:
Are you rich?"
Some folks say am" admitted Mr..
German.
"As rich as Jay Gould WASP" persist
ed the youthful salesman.
"A long way from that" laughed the
statesman.
Ever sell rat traps?" continued the
caller, becoming more interested than
ever.
mo, I never did" said Mr.. German.
well, l amt selfish, remarked the
boy, AN I'm goin' t let you in on a
good thing. Maybe if you're a hustler
you'll ketch up with Mister Jay What
chu-call-'i i'm after awhile
So saying he counted off ten of the
traps, made a lightning mathematical
calculation, and remarked:
Five dollars, please"
I'm fairly caught" Mr.. German
laughed to Senator Bailey as he dived
down into his pocket, land I'll pay the
toll. And" he added, as the urchin
went .whistling out into the corridor,
'if there are any Jay Goulds around
when that boy grows up, let them look
to their laurels.'

THE FARMERS CRY FOR HELP.

! Very soon. from about every state,
! the cry of the farmers for help will be
heard. They manage to get along pref
ty well during the planting season, but
as the harvesting season approaches
they begin to worry over the difficulty
of getting sufficient help to gather
their crops. In the Northwest the
wheat harvest demands every hand that
can be obtained. In the Middle West
work than can be done with the limit
ed supply which the labor market af-
fOrds. In California and other Pacific
states part of the fruit crop is lost
almost every year because sufficient
labor cannot be had to gather it. Here
in the South scarcely a planter can get
all the labor he wants in cotton pick
ing time. The cotton pickers can make
more money on the turpentne farms
and at the saw mills.
In no state is there an over supply
of farm labor, and farmers are Offering
extraordinary inducements to farm
hands. Not only are they Offering bet
ter wages, but they are pointing out
that the hours of employment are
shorter than they used TO be and that,
owing to the rural delivery system, life
on the farm is not SO isolated as it once
was.
1t does seem strange that with crowds
of people in the cities who are on the
verge CT starvation all the time, there
should be so much difficulty in getting
sufficient supply of labor TO gather
the crops. 1t is probable that If the
farmers of California had forseen the
difficulties with which they would have
to contend in the matter of labor they
would have thrown their influence
against the Chinese exclusion act, be-
cause the Chinaman was the one who
did much of the labor on the Califor-
MIA farms as we'll as in California
homes.
Still, all things considered, 1t is bet
ter probably that the Chinese were shut
out, and that the most of those who
were in California have departed.
Doubtless in the course of time the
be filled by people that can be assim-
Hated. 1t is rather remarkable that
big percentage of the immigrants ar
irving in this country do not seek en-
ployment on the farms instead of vast
ing their health and strength in the
sweat shops of the cities.
The farmers of the South are per-
haps better supplied with labor than
those of any other section. They
haven't a sufficient supply of course,
but they manage to get along. If they
are wise they will see to it that the
negro laborers have no just cause for
being dissatisfied. They will insist
upon their being dealt with fairly in
all matters and they will encourage
them to establish churches and the va
rious social organizations which they
find so attractive in the cities. In
short, they will seek to attach them to
the land. Otherwise the time may not
be distant when they will have as much
trouble in getting labor for their farms
as the farmers of the East and West
are having.

A CALL FOR SENATOR BAILEY.

Texas paper. the Chronicle of
Houston, comes out strongly for SEN
ator Bailey of that state for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President. In
Texas Mr.. Bailey is very popular and
deservedly so. He has made his mark
at home and at Washington, While we
are not prepared to go quite so far in
praising him as the Chronicle does,
there is no doubt that he occupies a
position in the party that entities him
to be considered in connection with
the presidential nomination. He has
much more prominence than Mr.. Bryan
had when nominated and is a little
older than he was. Mr.. Bailey is now
about forty years of age.
But we hardly think this is a Bailey
year. He is young enough to wait
awhile. There is no reason for think
ing that he would prove to be a par
ticularly strong candidate outside of
Texas, and the Democrats will carry
that state whoever the nominee may
be.
What is desired by the Democrats in
1904 is candidate who is strong in
the doubtful states, New York, Con-
necticut, New Jersey, Indiana, and
Maryland Doubtless we shall have
several favorite sons named before the
nominating convention meets. but it
is hardly probable that any of them
will receive serious consideration.
The Democratic leaders believe the
Democratic party has pretty good
chance to elect the President in 1904,
but they do not believe it can do so
unless excellent judgment is shown
in the making of the platform and nam
ing the ticket. While therefore it may
crafty favorite sons to be brought
forward in connection with the nomi-
nation they should not feel disappoint-
ed if their names should not command
general approval or even be mentioned
in the national convention.

During the campaigns of 1896 and
1900 there was no more untiring talk
er and worker for the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to l than Prof. E. Benjamin An
drews, excepting, of course, Mr. Bryan
himself. 1t will be recalled that Prof.
Andrews, who was president of Brown
University in 1896, talked so much
about free silver that a disagreement
between him and the trustees resulted
and he resigned his presidency. At
present he is chancellor of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska. In an interview
given out at Lincoln. Neb., a few
days ago. Prof. Andrews disayowed
his former advocacy of free silver. In
part he said: Il confess the error of
the opinion l held number of years
regarding the production of gold. =
l have to admit that it was an as
founding mistake. and 1 was In a
great and inexcusabe error" Being
neighbors, Prof. Andrews and Mr.
Bryan might debate the matter Of the

next Democratic National Convention.

Lockjaw, locomotor ataxia and ure-

University of Chicago. He says it has
been demonstrated that a solution of
calcium chloride, sodium chloride, So
dunn sulphato and sodium nitrate in
jected into the veins of the patient
stimulates not only the kidneys but
the entire central nervous system. In
locomotor ataxia 1t was found that the
pains produced in the earlier stages
of the disease could be stopped and
disease arrested. In advanced cases,
however, he doubted If a cure could be
effected. In lockjaw it was found, he
said, that an injection of salt solution
appeared TO effect a cure even In ad-
vanced stages.

1t has just been discovered that the
recent session of the Pennsylvania
Legislature made an appropriation of
$4,000 to build a steel bridge across
the Schuylkill river at Auburn, and
that the bridge will be of service to
two farms only. The value of these
farms. which are owned by members
of the Republican machine, is stated to
be not as much as $4,000. The state
would, therefore, save $1,000 if it
bought the farms and didn't build the
bridge. The incident, by the way,
goes to show how good the Pennsyl-
vania Republican machine is to itself
at the expense of the taxpayers.
