THE CALL

Came Mrs. Brown to call
On little Mrs. Jones.
They greeted in &he hall
In most delighted tones.
$50 rushed" said Mrs. Brown.
Il really cannot stay
I've been all over town,
It seems to me, to-day"
And then they talked OF books,
OF music, and Of clubs,
OF chambermaids and cooks.
OF leaky laundry tubs.
OF candies and OF soup,
OF churches and of gowns,
OF fevers and Of Group.
OF how to ward off frowns.
OF wrinkles. freckles, too;
or divorces and brides.
OF scandals old and new.
OF fashions latest strides,
OF neighbors and Of friends,
OF enemies and kin,
OF pleasing coffee blends,
OF where "she'' got that pin.
OF certain peoples debts.
OF certain peoples fights,
OF the contending sets,
OF certain women's spites,
OF papering the hall.
OF what each one had read,
OF which one owed the call,
OF what somebody said.
OF how ''she" held her locks.
OF golf, and cards, and tea,
Then back again to cooks
And then: 20, goodness mel"
. Cried Mrs. Brown at last,
II must be rushing on.
The afternoon IL past
At least, it's almost gone.
That's one thing detest
About a formal call
One has to look her best
And scarcely talk at all.
Stop in, my dear, some day :,
When you're out for walk
There's so much we could say
When we've time for q talk"

month after Paliopaleke's departure
when she stood one day in the door
way Of her hut, a wreath Of the soft
plumes on her dark hair, another
about her neck, hanging far below her
waist.
''If could but see you thus, bride,
my Kaomao!" cried her grandmother,
and she held small mirror before the
girls eyes.
Kaomao, taking the glass in both
hands, looked long at her own refec-
ton, and then she smiled for the first
time in all that month. That night
Umanunu slept profoundly, and in the
morning when she awoke she was
alone in the grass hut under the bah
yam tree.
Down on the beach. on the other
side of the hill, Kaomao, gowned in
the clinging white muumuu that Pal
iopaleke loved, was pushing light
canoe out into the water. The sea
and the sky cleaned like soft gray
pearl. The pearl faded slowly, def
nitely, and grew milky white. The
sky blushed rose and red, and the sea
stole its color. The coral reef flashed
pink, then pearl, then white. and
straight toward the rising disk Of the
sun Kaomao pointed the prov Of her
canoe. She padded steadily out
through the red. and - she. 2addled,

ARE THEY POPULISTIC TIME
SERVERS?

That the republican organization of
this state is unalterably opposed to a
railway and tax commission was con-
clusively proven by the action of the
Governor Mcbride, the leading repub-
lican champion of such a commission,
plank. The delegates from this county
joined the railroad lobby in defeating
Mcbride and they were among the first
to pledge themselves to the nomination
of Albert f. Mead, the Farrell Gross
cup-railroad lobby choice for governor.
In the face of this record the repub-
lican nominees for the Legislature in
this county, three of whom voted
against an appOintiVe railway commits
sion plank in the convention that NOM
mated them, have the monumental gall
to pretend to be in favor of an appoint
i've. regulative railway and tax COM
mission. The real attitude of the re-
publican state and county organiza-
tons toward a railway commission was
thus expressed by the Seattle Post-In-
tellgencer the next day after the re-
publican state convention:
AT last the republican party of
this state has had the courage of
its convictions, and has frankly
and honestly relegated the wholly
irrelevant plank on railroad COM
missions to the Woodpile. The
fact was plainly stated to the
convention yesterday that the
great majority of the people who
do the voting do not want "a regu-
lative, appointive railroad commits
SION no matter what some attOr-
neys of Il pOpulistic turn of mind
may wish. This statement We be-
lieve to be the literal truth, no
matter how much the timid, the
autOcratic or the time servers may
wish to change it"
Do the republican nominees from
this county accept John L. Wilson'S
designation of them as populists and
"timeseryers' Are they now pro-
Tossing to favor something to which
they are at heart opposed merely to
gain votes?

A NEW PROVINCE.

Americans who have interests in
western Canada will be concerned in
the announcement of Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier that if the liberal party wins at
the election to be held on Nov. 3, autOn-
omy will be granted to the Northwest
Territory. AS the conservatives are
already on record in favor of autonomy
it is certain that within a short time
Canada will have a new province OF
vast extent. This province will include
the districts of Alberta, Assinibo1a and
Saskatchewan. Their area is about that

thousand people: today they have,
perhaps three hundred and fifty thou

THE, PUBLIC LOVES a GOOD PLAY

David BelascO asserts that our
steadily lowering in tone and drifting
into channels of lavishly produced
trash-the reason being that the heavy
capital is in the hands of men who
know the power of money and have
found out what will take with the
public. Had Mr.. Belasco been making a
pun. he might have put it take from
the public.
He believes, however, that the RENE
dy lies with the public and that the
public now has the question forcibly in
hand. People have acquired a good
deal of discrimination during the re-
cent season. They have increasingly
stayed at home or gone elsewhere.
The public, he says, will not give up
its money to false pretenses forever.
Its eggs are golden, but it is not a
goose. 1t will no longer pay to see
stars who have no stellar radiance
to see drama that is not dramatic The
truth is that we have been afflicted
with Il tremendous rush of capital into
the theater, which has brought with it
Il class of managers who have money
but know nothing about the theatrical
profession. They have tried to treat
the theater as public necessity. to
corner art as if it was bread or beef
and they have partially succeeded The
public. however, has shown thenf em=
phatically, that they are wrong.

an excess of capital cannot, however.

supply and demand, cannot alter the

countries. always have existed and al
ways will exist The public loves a

the drama is a false condition which
can have only a temporary existence.

Altho the big gun club shoot was only

original Before the big shoot some of
the 1narksmen were trying a few practice
shoots, when their retreat was invaded
by the redoubtable r.. D. Guptill of
Paynesville, in heavy disguise. This
prodigy Of the gun surveyed the field with
whitening glance, and when he allowed"
that he could smash a few saucers II
somebody would lend him a shooting iron,
C. L. Quinlan, with generous heart passed
up his double -barreled kicker. sBut the

the invading cavalier was mott worthy OF
the fitting field, DECLARED that he wouldn't

a-considerable extent, SIS
The sporty. Guptili picked up the chal-
lenge with easy grace and swore that il
he couldn't shoot any city Teller, off his
feet then he was another. Mpulton in
his turn was not to be daunted by a
threat. and proposed a match before the
sun should go down upon their wrath.
But, no! honor was at stake, and Guptin
would shoot no more, on those grounds
until the big shoot was over.
And thus, all thru the match, these, gall
1ants did watch each other with feverish
eye, thinking perhaps of the fifty pieces Of
silver which indeed were wagered.
Yesterday, amidst the Haunting of ban
ners and the cries Of the crowd, Guptill
assuaged his wounded honor by breaking
eighty five Of the 100 clays, while Moul-
ton smashed but seventy eight. Thru
long years will this gallant contest be
talked Of and remembered.
