that there is less exaggeration of the
country types in York State Folks
than in any of the other productions,
and that has perhaps been the chief
reason for it's phenomenal success. 1t
is a simple story of village life with all
the interest and humor of reality re-
tanned intact, and notable for the lack
of artificiality which is characteristic
of the barn yard" drama.
York State Folks is a pure and a
wholesome play and one that will ap-
peal to theater-goers and nom thea
tre-goers alike. 1t is so clean and rest
full that those who see it once. want
to see it again; it is play that grows
on one; the more one sees it the more
and more he will like it.
York State Folks will be present.

TOLSTOY ON GOVERNMENT.

Tolstoy has written, a twelve-co
umn letter to the London Times which
is a violent and rather incoherent pro-
test against all government He classes
President Roosevelt with Emperor
William, the car and the sultan as
most Immoral men," No moral man
can be legislator or hold Office, says
Tolstoy. The thought of government
in any country he denounces as abom-
Unable.
An idea of Tolstoy's opinions of
rulers may be had from these SEN
The throne of England is mounted
by an unconscientious scoundrel and
rake, Henry VIII, and that he may
get rid of his wife and marry his con-
cubine, he invents his pseudo christian
Protestant church; he forces the whole
people to accept his invented faith and
millions of men are destroyed in the
struggle for and against it.
1.-The greatest hypocrite and villain,
Cromwell, takes possession Of the ma
chinery and executes another similar
hypocrite, Charles l., and relentlessly
destroys the very faith for which ne
pretends to strive"
The first thought that suggests it.
self in connection with Count Tolstoy's
letter is that almost anyone with a por-
ton of his literary gift could have
scored Henry VIII. or Cromwell as
hard as he has and few would nave
taken exceptions to his invectives. Yet
invective, even when vigorous, does
not prove much. The real purpose of
Tolstoy to denounce all government
puts him in a position where his per-
sonal references become of little i'm
portance.
Tolstoy, by his argument, announces
himself as utterly opposed to organi-
cation. In his view it is a crime to
levy taxes for the common good. 1t is
an iniquity to organize a government
because it is necessarily a compact of
the minority to run the majority.
He seems to nave overlooked the
fact that governments are not in the
first instance imposed upon men, but
they impose them on themselves. No
tribe has been found so low as not to
have some rudiments of government,
and these governments have had their
inception in the generous feeling of the
community to protect the weak against
the strong. That the strong get hold
of them and mismanage them is not
an argument against governments
There can scarcely be a sound argu-
ment against the existence of an insti-
tuition which seems to be as necessary
as clothes to protect the body against
the weather Men are not born with
protecting coats like animals, but pre-
sumably Tolstoy would protest against
clothes as vigorously as he does against
governments because clothes have
been the cause of not a little of the
foolishness of the world and some Of
its wickedness.
If government were purely volun
tary, as Tolstoy would hav,
it, or if we did not nave
it at all, it would soon resolve
itself into the forms which it take:
nowadays. Suppose that the tax col.

SEES OLIGARCHY PERIL.
Declares Ten Years Will Tell Whether
People or Money Kings Rule.

CHICAGO. Nov. I'm the next
years the story of democracy in this
country will be written and We shall
have either an oligarcny or a republic
can form Of government" said Governor
La Toilette to a large audience in the
Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium last night.
I'VE have not a representative form
of government today said he. 1.-The
people are losing their control and the
foundations of the government are
being undermined and it's strength
sappe1. I want to be conservative and
1 am conservative because l want to
get the business men with this cause.
The corporations of commerce, COM
bined with the political machines, con-
troll wherever they seek TO control.
"Twenty-seven per cent. of all the
wealth of the country is in the con-
trail of a few corporations. They need
enlarged franchises and enlarged pow
ers and maintain trained Hobbies at
every state capital to secure their de-
sires.
Legislators Listed.
Before every legislature meets,
every man is listed. His associations,
his weaknesses, his vices and his debts
are all known to these lobbyists, and
the moment he arrives at the state
capitol he is taken in charge by some
one detailed to minister to these weak
nesses or vices, and gain power over
him.
Governor La Toilette went back to
revolutionary times and compared tax
alton without representation to the
present system whereby, he declared,
the people are compelled to pay taxes
which corporations dodge. 1t is as OPP
pressive, he asserted, to permit mo-
nopoly of the natural resources, such
as coal, Oil, or iron, now, as it was to
quarter the soldiers of King George
on the people in the days of our fore
fathers.
Times Have Changed.
He read this statement by the
French writer, Alex de Tocqueville:
TN the United States l never heard
of man spending his wealth to cor
rupt the people,"
That was seventy-four years ago."
said the speaker, and the audience
laughed.
Governor La Toilette paid part1c-
ular attention to the railroads after
he had depicted the conditions Of the
country in strong language. When ne
declared that from 1873 the state OF
Wisconsin had been under the control
of the railroads until recently (refer-
ring to his own election, the audi
ence gave him an ovation lasting sew
eral minutes.
Rate Reform First.
Our forefathers recognized the fact
that transportation is a function OF
government" he said. Il do not mean
government ownership. Do not hurry
me. We may come to that later, but
| first l want to see thorough system
| of rate regulation adopted by every
! state and by the federal government
| If that fails, there is no avoiding gov
| eminent ownership"
Governor La Toilette praised Pres
| ident Roosevelt, saying that ne had
never been known to dodge a crisis,
and that all the railroads were against
| his nomination.

Mourning Fashions.

ONLY on elderly women is the close
N fitting small bonnet with long veil
seen. The crepe veil is worn, but
II4&I more often on a hat than on a
SaAn@ bonnet, and with it's fullness adj
justed in most graceful folds, until the orig
inal Idea of veil to hide ones features
from the gaze of too curious or sympa-
thetic friends has apparently been quite
lost sight of. Small round hats, turbans
and fiat hats worn a little over the face
are all considered good style worn with
long crepe veil, while as soon as the Veil
is shortened the millinery at once takes on
most coquettish appearance.
The latest news from Paris is that bon
nets even with a widows mourning, are
not considered correct except for really ell
derby women. A round hat somewhat on
the turban shape, set over the face. is used
instead. This hat is made of bias folds OF
crepe. To it is fastened the veil, but not
in the old-fashion of stiff folds hanging
down the back. Nor is the veil of the
present day of crepe as it used to be. 1t
is made of silk mousseline and has only
border of crepe. 1t is draped loosely over
the hat, and is so arranged that while more
than one-half Of its length hangs down the
back-sometimes nearly to the hem of the
skirt-the front is left so that it may be
worn back over the head or dropped down
over the face.

- QUESTION is often asked, "Is
IA pleating going out OF style?"
This is strongly answered in the
negative. Paris sets the fashion
S and style and whatever is a pro-
nounced craze in Paris becomes a style
that is lasting throughout other parts of
the world.
To show the confidence that Partisan
manufacturers have in this most beautiful
effect in women's dress one Partisan pleater
recently purchased $35 600 worth of Amer
lean pleating machinery and it is not an
idle fact to state that there is no danger
of this machinery going to rust for want
of use. 1t will be useless for wear before
the style goes out.
There are, besides this large manufac-
turer, fifty-siX other pleating concerns in
Paris alone, besides many others scattered
throughout France.
One of the prettiest, as well as most use
full, creations originated in Paris and now
rapidly becoming the style throughout this
country is the pleated skirt with ruffies
of the same pleated material, while the

trimmed buttons, made from the scraps OF

The new black evening dress is having an
immense vogue. and one of the prettiest of

soft clorings massed together, are particu-
larly happy when printed on a black

over black net make quite as lovely and
perhaps more substantial evening gowns
than the chiffon.

what Cleaning and DyeinE VIII DO


1.-THE thrifty wife of the man OF
moderate means, and not infre-
quently the man himself, in COM
IG9MA4l pany with scores of other people
- who do not have to take dollars
and cents into account so carefully have
found a boon in dyes and the various
processes of cleaning and pressing gar
ments that would otherwise have to be
discarded. So completely has this art-for
il is an art-been mastered that the most
delicate fabrics can be renovated, pressed
or dyed to a perfection that restores them
to their original freshness. The daintiest
of laces, ostrich plumes. and even the flmy
stuffs of which the modern ball and dinner
gown is made, are dry cleaned nowadays
without taking harm or even being ripped
up while the business suit that must do
service in all sorts of offices and stores
is dry or steam cleaned and pressed as
regularly as the linen is Numbered, and so
kept thoroughly presentable until 1t be-
comes actually threadbare.
SO general has become this renovation of
clothing that well dressed people have come
to depend upon the local establishments
almost as much as upon the laundries
But in these days Of passing fashions,
when clothing goes out of style long before
It is worn out, the art of the dyers makes
the expensive suit especially for women
not so expensive after all, for, after a
seasons wear, many a handsome gown is
colored and made over or even colored and
the style left unchanged and worn again
unrecognized.
