A Trip to Egypt.


The first original production Ut
$500 prices. Heretofore the
theatrical managers of the
United States have not been will
ing to offer the public an entirely
original production at prices
less than $3.50 and $1,000 seat.
The public have therefore had to
accept only second hand produc-
tions at prices less than these.
Among the first to realize that
productions could be made and
presented to the public in q first
class manner at $1.0O, was Mr..
G. Hebert Kerr and accordingly
q number of excellent musical
shows bearing his name and
trade mark are now en-tour and
are eminently successful.
The Beauty Doctor, /" ''Papa's
Baby" Over the Fence, and
lastly "A Trip to Egypt" have
all been successful because they
are large shows. well mounted
and capably cast without raising
the prices out of reach of the
average theatre-goers. "A Trip
to Egypt" comes to Jefferson
Theatre on Friday, Nov. "a, as
as an example of the best origi-
nal production and the largest
and most expensive company
ever offered at prices ranging
from Soc to $1.00. Don't miss

The rarifr Issue In the East.

The Massachusetts republicans IN
their recent convention declared that
the tariff should be reformed at some
time. whenever the republicans from
all parts Of the country agree To re
form it. They nominated for governor
Curtis Guild Jr.. the present lieuten-
ant governor. who is known 10 be an
advocate of reform as soon as it can be
secured. and for lieutenant governor
Eben :. Draper. who is known TO be
the most rock-rooted OF all the stand
pat" host. The advocates of reciproc-
ity like Guild. and Draper is about the
most Objectionable man in the state 70
them. and the platform is satisfactory
20 neither the 'stand-pat' nor the
move-along republicans.
Since the convention the republican
editors of the state have been rounded
up 10 listen 70 the candidates and pre-
sunably to find out what the party
policy was in regard TO the growing de-
mand from republicans for tariff re-
vision. They have gone home more
bifurcated i'm their opinions than they
came. The platform has not been eX-
planned To them; even Henry Cabot
Lodge could not make it mean what
both factions wish. and Guild and ORA
Der directly contradict each other.
The candidate for governor declared
that unless the republicans should i'm
mcdiately revise the tariff in accord
ance with sacred principles of protec'
ton. the democrats would come into
power and commit reckless mutila
tons of il. In other words. he believ-
ed that the demand for tariff revision
was so strong that if the republican
party should ignore il. il would be de
feated in the next election. Then Mr.
Draper got up and told them that the
Industries OF the state We're not men
aced by the duties on raw materials,
aud that labor was well employed. and
that there was no occasion for tariIf
tiukering. And still more recently
Congressman Mccall has said that the
issue between the parties in Massa-
Chusetts lis between immediate tariff
revision on our side and wholesale
tariff smashing on theirs, without re
gard 10 foreign markets or domestic in
dustry."
Evidently the Bay state republicans
are thoroughly stirred up on the issue,
But the "stand-patters' have the re-
publican party by the throat, and the
tariff will have to be reformed by the
tariff reform party.

VIII Cannon Continue TO Lord h

EN-SpeaLer Joseph G.. Cannon. of the
5Sth congress. is not yet elected speak
er OF the seth. His friends take it for
granted that he will be. and no other
republican candidate for the Office has
Yet appeared
But if the majority in the new house
Of representatives desires TO exercise
its constitutional right of voting on
bills without boss dictatiOn. it will re-
jet Mr. Cannon or put a curb on the
usurpations OF control over the house
which have characterized every repub-
liCan speaker since Reed was put into
the chair AT the beginning OF Harri-
sons administration. The extent OF

strongly recommend it i'll his forth
coming message. that two-thirds of the
house will vote fayorably on a bill
making such appropriation if they are
allowed To vote on il at all; but that
/ Cannon has always been hostile TO the
exposition and it is feared his opposi'
ton will defeat it.
The ST. Louis Republic says the fear
/ il well founded. Under the Reed rules
which Henderson and Cannon have
made worse. the speaker and his com
mitteo on rules are masters of the
| house. and more powerful than the
president. The majority of the house
