Friday Evening,

den of office-bearing is heavier than
any man ought to be asked to bear
alone, and it is to be hoped that the
pledge contained in this letter may in.
cite other business men Of the same
mind to manifest the same interest and
sympathy and cooperation with the re-
sponsible head Of the government.
Another phase Of the general ques-
tion of the relation Of the citizen to the
administration is the attitude of the
business man who, as the writer says,
is so often ready to subordinate his con-
victions and his sense of right to what
he regards as the necessities of business.
It has always seemed to Th g j u r
n al that it required a peculiar theory
of business princi pies to Justify the
contention of some business men that
a comparatively loose city administra-
ton makes for commercial prosperity.
That kind of an administration en-
courages the expenditure Of large sums
Of money for liquor, in gambling and
in other vicious pursuits which would
otherwise be expended for the
legitimate needs Of the individual wage
Garner or his family. There is only
about 40 much money earned in the city
anyway, and if the merchant must get
his share Of it after. the saloonkeeper
and the gambler and the house of social
vice have had their rake-off, it would
seem as if the dealer in legitimate lines
must suffer some loss Of trade. It is
contended that the sporting element are
liberal in the expenditure of money. So
they are; but they earn nothing and
create nothing. They are parasites.
They feed upon the earnings of others,
and while they may spend money freely,
they spend it largely for the Injuries
and in extravagances which do not
touch the counters of the average mer-
chant. Only few lines profit by their
trade. u..,.
Another theory is that the looseness
granted to vice attracts money from the
outside. Possibly it does, to some ex-
tent, but that it attracts more, than
reasonable restriction Of vice attracts
has never been established and proba-
bly, never will be, while the added ex-
pense for police and other protection
adds enormously to the burden Of taxa
tion. 49,
But even granting that wide-openness
is good for business, there is no escape
from the proposition that men who take
that view of the matter, and are infu-
enced by such considerations, entertain
an exceedingly low view Of life, are
ready to pander to vice for their indi-
vidual financial profit, and are not to be
counted among those who desire or work
for social betterment. We are satisfied,
however, that this consideration influ-
ences fewer business men today than
formerly, and that the fallacy that a
loose administration is a good thing for
business is not now so generally enter
tanned.

THE UNEASY CHAIR

A Romance OF the Shetland Islands; Pic
ture OF Life Which Has Escaped Largely
the Artificial alone likes to find now and
then a thinker who has known little of the
environment made by mems minds and
hands, one who has never felt the fever
ish throb Of commerce, one who has led
the simple life yet known, in some de-
gree at least, It's elemental joys and sor-
rows. Such mans thoughts seem to
have come by some short cut from the
infinite sources Of thought and truth. For
these reasons it would be a ground for
satisfaction to know whether Edith Rick
ert, In her new novel, The Reaper, which
is story of life in the Shetland islands,
has allowed the islanders to speak their
own thoughts always or whether she has
carried her thoughts to them to have
them reuttered in the simple but pictur-
esque phrases of remote places.

THE MAGAZINES

Does 1t Pay?-Does it pay to educate
the Indian? Are the results obtained
commensurate with the money expended
for Indian education? Are they becoming
civilized? How often do we hear these
questions asked, says O.. H. Lipps in The
Indian School journal for October. Teach
ers and employees and missionaries In the
Indian service have been answering these
questions for many years, quietly, silently
and unobserved by the public eyes. The
Indian is now answering these questions
for himself. He is answering them by
his own acts. His daily life is proof that
education tells in the Indian, just as it
does in the white man. b
The writer's proposition is supported
strongly by the entire contents of The
Journal, which deals largely with the In
dian at the Louisiana Purchase exposition.

Captain Bedford Is in reality ! our old
friend Redwood of Jim, the Penman''-
a character made famous some years ago
by Mr.. Holland. The laws of copyright
made it necessary for him to change his
name, but in other respects it is the same
master hawkshaW on another case. The
aforementioned drawl, the much
stroked moustache, the keen, observant
eye and the odd habit Of revealing emo
ton by a peculiar motion of the mouth
and lips, still mark the Holland detect
i've. *BedfOrds intense admiration for
the work of the racksman is one item
Of an immensely effective portrait, and it
is nowhere more striking than in the de-
movement.
While the duel of these two characters
makes the play, there is some good act
ing done by other members of the we'll
chosen company. Frank McCormack's
picture of a low-class burglar, for in
stance, is capital and furnishes one of
the most striking contrasts of the play III
his scene with Raffles. Clara Blandck's
acting of the girl who loves Raffles is =
well contained piece Of work, while Bev-
erly Sitgreaves in the role Of the venge-
full woman who is his undoing, Is pic
torially effective, in spite of a certain in
distinctness of articulation. The Bunny
Of Frank Conner is adequate but not
striking. The other roles are for the
most part well handled, and the piece is
staged with careful precision.
The interruption in the apparently
ceaseless flow of frothy and unsubstan-
tial musical comedy was welcomed last
night by large and brilliant audience.
