The play, written. by Edward E. Rose,
AN anomaly. 1t is not strictly a COM
edy, nor yet a tragedy. Neither is it
pure melodrama nor romance. It is,
however, a mildly pleasing combinat ton of
all and so cleverly done as to hold the

peal to the better instincts of the ordin-
airy playgoer.
The scene is in South American re-
public, torn as these sham republics usu-
ally are, by internal strife that comes to
the surface in plots and counterplots.
The time is the present and local color
is supplied by gaudy uniforms, swords
and cigarettes. The plot, rather involved
at times, is unfolded satisfactorily. 1t is

Defying the Fiend.

Two Baltimore architects have drawn
plans for a building entirely without
wood. 1t is to be built for Mr.. Hill
aenburg, who does not wish to sbe
burned out again. It will be: six
stories and will have frontage Of Al
feet inches. The entire structure, is
to be of reinforced concrete and steel.
Even the doors, trims, window sashes
and door jambs are to be Of metal. The
windows will be glazed with wire glass;
The frame for the show windows will
be of steel, into which the plate glass
will be fitted. The side walls, columns
and rear walls, as we'll as the support
ing columns of the front walls, will be
of concrete. The floors will all have a
top dressing of cement / - inches thick.
The stairs will be of concrete, with slate
treads and wrought iron balustrades.
The elevator shaft will be of concrete,
as will also the Enclosure around the
stairway and the elevator hall. The
cellar and roof are to be of cement.
In order to eliminate all wood the two
fagstaffs on top Of the structure will
be of steel. If this mass of metal,
stone and cement can be crumbled or
destroyed by fire, the struggle for an
absolutely 6reproof structure might as
well stop.

doubt the new ordinance will be taken
up and passed by the new council be-
fore the end of January and will re-
8ceive the approval Of the new mayor.
The present order Of things is merely
continued for another month.
n The persons most concerned are those
responsible for the delay. The Clark
ordinance is proposition SO simple as
hardly to call for explanation or argu-
ment. Under the present rule the sa-
loonkeeper whose license is revoked
gets a refund of license money for the
remainder of his license year. He suf-
.fers no financial loss worth mentioning,
no matter how fragrant his violation of
the laws. The saloon takes out q new
license under new name, possibly in
a new location, and resumes business.
This order of things is ended by the
proposed Clark ordinance, which pre-
vents refund of license money where
}the license has been revoked for cause

Fsition that has been blocked by the

Some Election Anomalies.

If those who are still harping about the
alleged treachery of the supporters Of Col
Inns will study the election figures they
will find that those counties that sent Col
Inns delegations last June gave Dunn g.
better support at the election than did
those that were carried for Dunn in the
June primaries. This goes to show that
the methods employed in carrying those
counties for Dunn were so Objectionable
to the rank and file of the voters that
they would not stand for it when it came
to the election where they could all ex-
press their sentiment in a way that would
tell.-Long Prairie Argus.
This. opens up an interesting line of
post-election inquiry. The returns show
that eighteen of the counties which sent
Dunn delegates to the state convention
last summer returned popular MAORI
ties against the same man in November.
These counties furnished johnson plu-
ralities as follows:
Becker, 1T; Blue Earth, 1924; Chip
pewa, 1853; Dakota, ITS; Isanti, 1903;
Kanabec, ~; LIE Sueur, 259; Mcleod,
1877; Martin, 1872; Meeker, s61; Otter
Tail, 697; Polk, LOG; Red Lake, 10;
Scott, COZ; Wabasha, 100; Waseca, 3;
Wilkin, 6; and Winona, $40.
All these counties went republican
on the rest Of the state ticket except
Dakota, Mcleod and Scott. Some
other counties which were carried for
Mr.. Dunn in the primaries gave him
very small pluralities, altho strongly
republican on everything else. For in.
stance, Chisago county gave him 90

cf the composer. She gives fire and
abandon to the role which would not be
accepted in Germany, where original
ity on the part Of the prima donna does
not count so much as obedience to GER
tain prescribed traditions. The Ger
man Marguerite is not like the French
and the two Carmens are just as diff
ferent. Olive Fremstad studied in Ger

tions. The German people like her and
they like her Carmen the best, perhaps,
of all her roles. 1t is Splendid

nor her acting in her singing. She is
filled with impulsive sensuality. Yet
beneath her passion and her sensuality

her every action. Her movements are

The Passing Of the Steam Locomotive
Is the steam locomotive to be superseded
by electricity? w. j. Wilgus, vice presi-
dent of the New York Central, is one Of
the railroad officials who believes that
it is. Writing in the Dec. 8 issue Of
Harper's Weekly, Mr.. Wilgus expresses
the opinion that the time has arrived
when a different system Of transportation
on our trunk lines is needed. Sew
eral of the great railroads are already
planning to change their motive power
from steam to electricity within what has
been termed the suburban zone" around
New York city; and, in the opinion Of the
writer, it is only question of time when
electricity will gradually supplant steam
on the 'long- haul' traffic.
