NOT LIKE BOOK
hut THE SIMPLE LIFE IL VERY
FINE.
Miss Bagby, Of Paducah, VIII BE
Greeted by Large
Crowd.

Many amusement patrons who like
comedy instead of a serious play on
the stage, have wondered how THE
Simple Life" as written by the Rev
Charles Wagner. could be made into
a comedy for the Charles Dickson
company. which is TO appear at the
Kentucky theater next Saturday eve
ming. March 4.
The author of the play. Herbert
Hall Winslow, also author of ''rhe
Vinegar Buyer" and co-author of
"Weather-Beaten Benson" took the
title of the book and wrote around
Il a humorous stage conception and
comedy travesty, as unlike Wag-
ner's treatise. as a comedy play
wright could conceive. In fact there
Is about as much resemblance In
The Simple Life" play as given by
Mr.. Dickson and his stage beauties,
as there is between the comedy,

Some idea OF the play may be gained
by the attached cast anA characters

to do Is TO nll out the ballots TO be

send them In. You will note that the

Special coupons OF votes will be

attention to the fact that subscrip-
lions paid now are worth double
what they will be worth in March.
For instance: 40c will pay for The

you to only 40 votes. A years sub

votes. Thus you see the wisdom Of
sending in your subscriptions early.

The interest in the contests today
has been intense as the candidates
and their friends realized II might
be the turning point for some Of
them.
Miss Hinton still leads and so do
the other leaders of yesterday, but
the margins are not so much that one
day might not wipe them out.
After today. subscriptions paid in

This has been the incentive for the
workers today and this past week.

have been very industrious, as a

The Scholar To-Day Rules His Native

Philadelphia.-6ir Chentung Lang
Cheng. Chinese minister to the United
States, in an address In this city ths
other night, at the American Academy
OF Political and Social Science on tAs
subject, "China's Traditional Policy"
said:
For 1000 years China has net
s"erved an iota from steadily pursuing
consistent policy of peace. This may
De put down to the fact that all tho ueo
VINO nave played a prominent part -
Chinese affairs have invariably Sssa
true followers of Confucius. The ~
suit is that in China the saying. The
pen Is mightier than the sword IL not
high sounding boast, but an active
principle of government.
1t is the scholar that is to-day Tie
ruler of the empire. The soldier helds
lower place. This subordination e
the fighter to the thinker is recognized
throughout the length and breath a.
the land.
1T may be urged that the Chinese pso-
PIE have brought much unnecessary su1.
1erlng upon themselves by their hrm a.
herence to the principles Of peace. Its
true that they have left their country
practically exposed to foreign invasiooA.
They maintain no effective army: they
nave no battleships. These weaknesses
are patent to all.
But China's strength does not lie %
near the surface. Perhaps the severest
crisis which the nation has gone through
was IN the thirteenth century, when the
Mongols under Genghis Khan, after car
rying fire and sword into the heart az
Europe, swept everything before than
In China. From this staggering blow it
recovered with astonishing rapidly.
This wonderful recuperative power
must be sought in the sterling character
OF the people themselves. They may b

mind and body which the people OF The
west admire and cultivate, but they are
endowed to an eminent degree with
those hardy virtues which tell most IN
the struggle for existence, namely, Pa
thence, industry, and thrift.
With the view of reducing the possi-
bility of war as much as possible, arbi-
tration is the method now best recon-
mended for the settlement of intsrna-
tional disputes This is a step IN the
right direction. But as long a. nations
are armed to the teeth there IL always q
strong temptation to test the effective
ness OF the weapons they possess. AZ
long as there is powder in the magazine,
there is always danger Of an explosion
from flying spark. The day, however.
seems to be still far distant when the
nations Of the earth will agree to gen.
eral disarmament But until this con-
summation is reached the peace Of the
world can never be absolutely secure"
