Taxpayers Win Again.

The second engagement in the battle
between the taxpayers of Sawyer County
and the members of the County Board
came on III the Circuit Court at Hay
ward, Judge Parrish presiding, the other
day. The original suit was brought by
A. M. Carpenter and the Chippewa Land
Company against the county officials to
prevent the payment of county orders,
which it was claimed had been irregu-
larly issued. Preliminary to the main
contest, the plaintiffs obtained a tempo
rary injunction restraining the payment
of the orders by the county treasurer.
The case came up on a demurrer filed by
the defendants on the ground that the in
junction was too sweeping. This result
ed in another victory for the taxpayers,
Judge Parrish holding that a demurrer
would not lie

Some observations made In The News
as to theatrical syndicates in the review
OF the Francis Wilson engagement at the
Providence Opera House on Tuesday.
seem to have been misinterpretated In
theatrical circles. The observations were
prompted by the fact that Mr. Wilson.
who has been alleged by the furious op-
ponents OF the syndicate, to be the chief
victim OF that business organization, Is
actually here in the flesh. romping as OF
yore despite the suspicious about the
freeze out policy Of the much abused the
atrtcal trust. Ii may be recalled that
during all the hot times OF the discus
sion that the syndicate proposition en-
gendered several years ago The News
maintained the calm and philosophical
ground that the theatresoing public had
no earthly interest in the business
methods OF the theatrical managers go
long as such methods resulted in bringing
the sort Of shows to town that folks
wanted 10 see And no abstract consid-
Grafton OF the virtue or viciousness Of n
theatrical trust could conceal the funda-
mental. common sense proposition that,
as business men, the theatrical managers
would be compelled to produce the kind
OF entertainment that the people would
patronize.
II is matter of record that never has
the Providence Opera House maintained
50 high standard Of uninterrupted first-
class productions as has been enjoyed uns

ment To be sure. Colonel wendelsehae-
fer does his own booking. but as the So
called syndicate controls the bulk OF the
attractions the evidence r. clear that the
attractions handed out by the octopus are
OF the highest standard. Theatrical pro-
ducti0ns generally have never been on 80
high a plane as since the syndicate was
organized.

OF the good things. The News is not a
