" prohibited the use Of a poster pic

cause the advertisement showed "a

newspapers of Montreal, where this

In London plays for children are en-
joying great popularity this season.
Five Of the leading theaters are giving
daily matinees of such plays. the parts
performed principally by youngsters.
These entertainments-whi include
THE Cherry Girl Little Hans An
dersen," 'Snowdrop," Water Babies
and Alice Through Looking
Glass"-are all said to be successful.
The obstacle to the establishment of
theatrical entertainments for children
in New York is the law prohibiting
the appearance of children in them.
In London there is no such impede
ment and it is said that children's
plays now appeal more TO the younger
generation than the Christmas pan
-tomimes, which largely draw adults.

HOW DID MILLER VOTE?
Record Shows Senator Voted for
Dolley Garnishment Bill.

How did Senator H. B. Miller vote
on the Dolley garnishment bill in the
last legislature?
That is a question which is said to
be making Senator Miller considerable
trouble in his candidacy for reelection
down in Usage county. If he voted for
it the miners and laboring men of
Usage county will oppose his re-elec-
ton If he voted against it, it will be
conceding that Governor Bailey was
right in vetoing 1T, and it will be
slap at J. N. Dolley, Senator Miller's
brother boss buster. who was the au-
thor and pusher of the bill.
Senator Miller has been publicly ac-
cused in Usage county of voting for
the bill. The senate journal as print
ed has him on record that way, and
so far as is known he has not made
a positive denial that such is the case,
but he is sending a committee to To-
peka this afternoon to see what the
original journal says. The original
journal is in the keeping of Secretary
of State Burrow.
The Dolley garnishment bill is one
of the very few that Governor Bailey
saw fit to veto during the last legisla-
ture. 1t was designed to remove much
of the exemption from taking a labor
ing mans wages for debt, such as now
exist Governor Bailey was flooded
with kilograms and letters from labor
organizations asking him to veto the
he did so.
This fact was used against him
among those who wanted the bill
passed to arouse opposition to Bailey.
J. N. Dolley, the author of the bill, was
one of the prime movers in the boss
buster movement. and he is now the
Republican candidate for state senator
in WabaunSee county Circulars were
sent to merchants all over the state
urging them to line uD with the boss
busters because Governor Bailey had
vetoed the garnishment bill.
Now if Senator Miller succeeds in
stablishing that he voted against the
bill it will be an acknowledgment on
his part that Governor Bailey was
right and that Dolley and the boss
busters who fought him for vetoing it
were wrong. On the other hand. If 1T
IS proved that Senator Miller voted for
the bill, as he is on record as dolng IN
the published senate journal, it will
ALLEVIATE from him large vote in
Usage county.

Friends and countrymen-that is,

dog or two-it is needless to observe
that I am delighted at sight of this
large and intelligent audience. I ar
rived here so late this afternoon. after
a fifteen mile walk over the highway
from Bridgeport, SO late that the boy

through a few of the principal avenues

astic turnout is fiattering to my pride.

you. Each person is privileged to

to let the hat pass by with stony heart.

beneath the willow.

Give me the credit for overcoming
circumstances and reaching the goal
on which had set my hopes. Had I
been faint-hearted and less determined
you men and women to todoy would
never have heard my name. AS 1t is,
he who speaks of Shakespeare, Byron.
Milton. Napoleon and Washington
speaks of Q. Hope Jones in the same
breath. History has not done me JUS
tice yet, as all the historians have
been out of ink and paper lately, but
it is coming, and as you read the pages
you will remember of my standing be-
fore you tonight.
There are in this town of Cranberry
Hill men and women who can attain
greatness If they will. There are men
WAC can lead victorious armies or write
a successful one-act vaudeville play,
and there are women who can die like
Joan of Arc or live like Susan B. An
thony. 1t all depends.
If the man who is welding the scythe
and the point sticks into a stump and
lifts him off his heels will let that cir
cumStance discourage him, he cannot
look for success. If the woman who is
carrying a pan of milk down cellar and
misses a step and goes to the bottom
and brings up with her head in the pan
is going to let such a trifie keep her
from speaking to her husband for the
next two weeks, then she will always
remain a Jones instead of Joan.
In creating US to live in this world,
Nature meant that we should get our
feet angled up in the grass and fall on
our noses about so often. We must
figure that we shall fall up the kitchen
stairs as often as we fall down those
leading to the cellar. We must bring
philosophy to bear, even when the
bread is heavy, the milk sour and the
butter rancid, and we must hang on
to our determination no matter how
often the top-rail gives way or the ice
breaks.
He who deserves greatness wins it;
he who let's circumstances battle and
balk him will never arise to the dig
nifty of occupying a reserved seat at a

Good News for Yale.

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct -Four
Tripp. Owsley and Cartwright, had
good news for Captain Hogan, when
they reported for daily practice yester-
day afternoon. They announced that
they had passed off the examinations
in the studies which they received con-
diticns in last June. Kinney and Tripp
are the star guards, and if they had
failed to pass Yale's chances for a
winning team would have vanished.
Cartwright is the substitute center, and
Owsley was the best half back in col
lege last year. All of the players took
their regular positions on the eleven.
and will hold them the remainder of
the season.
