rub it in, instead of merely pouring
out his ointment on the heads of
Clarke and Johnson, and then hieing
him to Europe to be absent until af-
ter Christmas? Ohio Democracy, like
beauty, is only skin deep, and there is
likelihood that in the absence of Mr..
Bryan-hobnobbing with English
nobs-his certificate of the regenera-
tion of Mr.. Clarke and of Mr.. John
son may lose its face value. Even
now the signs of revolt are showing
in more than in Summit, where May
or Young, of Cuyahoga Falls, thus
expresses himself:
81 have voted the Democratic tick
ct all my life-never scratched it in
my life: but l can not stomach John
sonism, and will cast my vote for Ny
ron T. Herrick for governor. I may
possibly vote the remainder of the
Democratic State ticket, but this
statement is subject to "a change. The
recent Johnson convention at Colum-
bus was the greatest display of boss
ism that has ever been witnessed in
Ohio, and was an illustration of the
absolute power that dangerous and
ambitious man holds over the Buck
eye Democracy. He imagines that he
is a brilliant leader, but he is simply
a vulgar boss. am not alone in my
views, as there are many other Dem
ocrats in the county that think as l
do in the matter, and 1 predict that

THE BOOM
STILL BOOMING F.!
Secretary Shaw Demon
StrdteS That
Our Wonderful Prosperity
Still Rests as a Benson Upon
Our Land
Our Wonderful PrOsperit

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
having been asked If there was hope
that our country's prosperity would
continue replied, in a meeting of
bisiness men in Chicago, Wednesday
night, as follows:
Compare the following with avail
able statistics covering any former
period, and there can be but one an
swer to the proposition. Our farms
produce four thousand millions. Our
five hundred thousand factories add
fifty-six hundred millions in value to
three thousand millions of raw ma
terial, and their net output, exclusive
of Implications, is more than eight
thousand millions. Six million OPP
eratives in these factories and work
shops annually sign payrolls aggre-
eating three billions. Our mines.
quarries. clay banks, and oil wells
yield thousand millions. Our two
hundred thousand miles of railway
transport six hundred million tons of
original freight, not including du-
plications, and pay eight hundred
thousand operatives exclusive of OFF,
GERS, six hundred and fifty
MILLION DOLLARS.
'As nearly as can be estimated, the
annual productive capacity of the
American people is eleven billion
dollars. This does not include du-
plications. This does not include raw
cotton and manufactured cotton; but
raw cotton and the value added there
to in the process of manufacture Ol
this we export one and one-half bill
lions, and import a billion of other
merchandise, mainly noncompetitive
with our own products. We there
fore consume the equivalent of s5 pei
cent of all we produce. Not while
these conditions continue, will pros
perity cease.
1--WE are the most prosperous peo
pie in the world, because we botl
produce and consume more thar
others. The little that we sci
abroad, about 10 per cent of our ne
production, and the little we pur
chase abroad, 8 or per cent of our
net consumption, constitute no chal
lenge to the statement that our pros
perity rests with ourselves. Unles
our factories and workshops volun
tarily close or labor voluntarily re
fuses employ ment, or commerce vol
unfairly ceases its activity, there is NJ
occasion for alarm. Unless appre
hension becomes epidemic and ultra
conservatism contagious, the i'm
med ediate future holds for us as mucl
of real good as the immediate pas
has showered upon u.s."

Does the harvesting of the alfalfa

tion open for discussion. 1t has be-
come a proverb here. The farmer
is moving alfalfa ''now we will get

"Sunny Dale" farm was harvested
three times with an interval of three
weeks of very dry weather and each

One Out OF the Earlier Experiences Of a
Retired Literary Man.

AT the outset Of my career as n writer"
said now wealthy and respected retired
literary man, Il had one little experience
that at the time chagrined me deeply,
though l have since then many time
laughed over it heartily.
In those days my manuscript came ack
to me with practically 'mfailing regularity,
as / suppose that Of most young writer's
does; ard, as had the eager industry rf
youth and worked hard and fast and pro-
duced a good deal of stuff, ! very soon
had considerable collection Of rejected
manuscripts, which ! kept neatly stacked
up in piles in bookcase in my room,
rapidly Increasing accumulation.
"One day my room was visited by burg
lar. who stripped it OF pretty nearly every
thing portable but never took one of nv
manuscripts, which | considered to be
the most valuable of all my possessions
He had opened that bookcase, turned one
of those piles so that he could inspect il
and. when he had discovered what il was
turned it partly back and 80 left it, Ny
manuscript was rejected by even the burg

Il got some little satisfact ION from the
thought that he might once have been q

by the rejection Of his own nanrIscripts and

A STRONG PLAY

1.-THE Christian" is without doubt one
of the strongest plays ever presented on
the stage. 1t ran for over one year
in New York during which it excited so
mcuh comment in the theatrical and
religious world that even the clergymen
turned out to see it and those who did
admitted it to be as strong a sermon
as could ever be given from the pull
pit.
Besides its lesson and strict moral
tone the play abounds in strong situa-
tiOns and thrilling incidents that hold
the audience spell-bound and during
the second act where John Storm"
holds the mob at bay the excitement
becomes so intense that at its climax
audiences have been known to rise to
their feet with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Neill is very strong in the char
acter of John Storm" the Christian
while Edythe Chapman has won great
praise in her rendition of GLORY
Quayle." The others of the company
are well cast and a powerful perform
ance is promised
There has always been big de-
mand for 1.-THE Christian" by theater-
goers and Honolulu is fortunate in it's
opportunity to witness this great play
| given by so good a company.
| Mr.. Neil pays a heavy royalty 10
! produce it, but has always found 1t a
good investment as it has packed his
! houses for an entire week wherever
he has played 1t.
The sale of seats at Wall, Nichols &
| Co, indicates a big house and the
play should certainly draw the capacity
| of the opera house.
