THE OLO MISSOURI IDEA
That Republican Party Can't Afford to
Expose Corruption.

Ottawa Herald: The Topeka bu-
reau of the Kansas City Journal has
discovered again that the opposition to
Kelly is a scheme to defeat the VIII ole
Republican ticket. z. w. Hoch includ-
ed. This indictment of the Republican
ticket by the journal is one that Will
be resented by every Kansas Republic
can who has a pride in his party
honor. The Kansas City Journal
stands alone in the advocacy of the
idea that the Republican party of the
state cannot expose rottennesS and
punish wrOng-doerS without involving
the good name of every reputable man
on its ticket The real friends of E
w. Hoch. who believe absolutely in his
honesty, will not grant the Journals
contention that it hurts Hoch to show
that Tom Kelly has robbed the state
treasury. The Journals argument IS
the same argument the Journal used
when the national postal frauds were
uncovered. At that time the Journal
was sure an organized fight was being
made on the party When Burton was
indicted at st. Louis the Journal had
another vision of a scheme to defeat
the whole Republican party The
argument is the same as that used Dy
the Missouri boodlers when FOLK De
gan his exposure of rottennesS in ST.
Louis.
Roosevelt and Folk have taken the
position that the party does not suffer
from the commission OF crime, Out
from cOndOning and eXcuS1ng crime.
And with these words from President
Roosevelt as authority. the Repubh-
cans of Kansas will look to the kansas
City Journal as the avowed enemy or
the party when it seeks to cover up
and minimize the Importance of the
discovery that State Treasurer Kelly
has been holding out state funds, and
is still short in his accounts with the
state several thousand dollars.
entire
Republican state ticket" if it were so
that they were to be injured by the
exposure of the state treasurer's thefts,
then none would deserve injury more
than they. But it is not true, and the
Kansas City Journal knows it is not
true. The Republican ticket and the
Republican party in Kansas are lit
tie bigger and stronger than the per-
sonaI interests of the man whose name
has been connected with shady fnan-
ciaI deals in public places for years
past and whom the Kansas City Jour
nal is defending from the proof that
he has been robbing the state treasury.

MRS. NIcHENRY SAT.
She Wouldn't Leave Walkers Billiard
ParIor.

Mrs. NIyra McHenry, orderly sergeant
to jor Carrie Nation of the Ratchet
squad, appeared in John Miller's bill
lizard hall at 115 East Sixth avenue
Monday afternoon, and calmly took a
seat. She made no demonstration, and
did not have a Ratchet with her, but
her presence seemed to chill those who
played pool and billiards. The proprie-
tor of the place. fearing a panic, be-
sought Mrs. McHenry to go away, but
she firmly refused. II just want to see
what you are doing here" was all she
said, and she remained seated. In great
haste the pool room man rushed out
and got a policeman. Officer Mich
Bundy came in, and suggested to Mrs.
McHenry that she had better leave.
She repeated her statement that she
just wanted to see what was going on.
Bundy said that all right, but the place
was not fit camping spot for woman

she affirmed. pointing to the door of
the rear room. why don't you arrest
them?"
Come along" answered Bundy. IF
they are selling booze I will pinch the
whole bunch of them. Let's go back
and see.''
But Mrs. McHenry backed down, and
would not assist in the search of the
place. After some more conversation
with the officer she walked out, and the
proprietor of the shop heaved a sigh of
relief.

MAJOR CROFOOT.
The Grand Promoter Has Another

It was getting along toward lunch
time land Major Crofoot, grand pro-
moter and general organizer, sat at
his desk trying to figure out how to
make 8 cents pay for what he wanted
to eat and have something left over
for dinner, when his office door opened
and a woman sailed in and helped
herself to a chair and looked at him
defiantly. She was built on large and
expansive lines, and she sported
double chin and an iron jaw.
The Major looked, and stared, and
flushed red and white, and it was a
full minute before he worked up

Halloween VANDALISM
Property on the West Side Was
Destroyed.

The city could have saved same
money by not hiring so many special
policemen last night, as they did not
seem to check the usual brand of Hal
loween depredatiOns. The worst dam
age reported this morning was from the
corner of Sixth and Clay, where the at
lacks on property were unusually vic
ious. The picket fence around w. M.
Thompson's property was almost en-
tirely destroyed, and across the street,
at Hebb's grocery, the oil house was
torn to pieces, and a barrel of oil spilled
in the street. Where were the 20 Off
GERS of the law while this was being
done? The oil house and fence could
not have been destroyed without MAX
ing a noise which could have beenh heard
three blocks away by any one who
might be awake. Sections of sidewalk,
gutter crossings and other improve
ments were torn up all over the city,
and only one arrest was made. Whalen,
a plain clothes officer, arrested a boy
for turning over a piece of sidewalk,
but the army of specials were evidently
holding a. caucus somewhere.

PLAY WAS
GRAND SUCCESS
Normal Seniors Presented Pyg.
maIl0n and Galatea to a
Crowded House

The presentation OF Pygmalion and
Galatea by the members Of the senior
class Of the Normal School at the
Opera House, Monday night. reflects
much credit on Miss Henry who has d.
rected the rehearsals and managed the
production. Each character was ably
portrayed by those participating and 1t
must be said that the presentation was
equal to professional performance.
The costumes were appropriate and the
stage setting good.
Long before the doors of the opera
house were thrown open crowds began
to arrive and it became apparent that
seats would be at premium. BY far
the largest crowd ever gathered in the
opera house during one performance
was present Monday night. Every
chair was filled and along the aisles and
sides of the hall the audience crowded
TO overlooking. Owing to the heavy jam
the front doors of the opera house were
locked in order to keep out more peo-
pie.
Pygmalion and Galatea Is a play laid
during the times Of the ancient Greeks.
! The whole play centers around Pygma-
ron, who was famous sculptor. He
falls i'm love with his masterpiece Gala
| tea. and calls on divine powers to give
the statue life. During the temporary
absence Of his wife. Cynisca. his plead
ings are rewarded and his wife return
ing learns of his actions calls on the
powers to aid her In Furnishing him.
She is rewarded and Pygmalion IL
struck with blindness. The wife learns
Of Galatea's innocence and beauty of
spirit and forgives Pygmalion. whose
sight is restored. Learning too much
81 the worlds ways Galatea turns to
marble again.
Robert Emmett who portrayed the
character Of Pygmalion was exception
ally good and acquitted himself cred
itably in the Characterization of the
part. Gaiatea was ably presented by
Miss Grace LeCornu. Leucippe. SOL
der, by Delos Needham was especially
interesting as was also Chrysos an art
patron. the character OF which was ably
portrayed by Laurie Hastings.
BY far the strongest character in the
play was that of Cynisca. Pygmalion's
wife. The part was ably and creditably
rendered by Grace M. Kelsey who
showed considerable force Of charac-
ter in her rendition Of the part and she
is to be especially commended.
Beatrice Reid. Cora Randall. Minnie
M. Rawson and nellie v. Asbury were
worthy Of special mention for their I'M
terpretations Of the parts played.
The performance was enthusiastically
received by the audience and It estab-
fishes the fact that similar productions
by the Normal graduates each year
win be a popular thing with Lewiston
people as well AZ the graduates.
