"Red. White and Rlueu

In an apparent effort to catch the
public by an appeal to patriotism, the
Burbank stock company this week is
offering sapless melodrama entitled
THE Red, White and Blue" The lines
are all Fourth of July orations and are
uttered by the players in the same
bombastic manner employed by the
"orator of the day."
In spite of their handicap the players
do generally excellent work. Miss Rose
King springs into sudden prominence
in a leading part which gives great
promise of her future. She avoids the
conventional stage style of making
her effects and falls into none of the
stereotyped poses. If she can overcome
elf-consciousness her natural methods
will be very effective, providing they
can withstand the grind of melodrama.
The play was incidental to a song and
dance speciality by Blanche Hall,
Henry Stockbridge and little Fay
Banter. The trio was enthusiastically
recalled. 1t was not an elaborate dance
-one of those where they go sideways
across the stage by putting one foot
behind the other-and sometimes they

A SACRAMENTO BLUNDER

The city trustees of Sacramento have made a
blunder that have resulted from feeling of
jealousy toward Los Angeles. bond issue of 5000 600
high school purposes provided for several
ago by popular After one mistake because
of nformaty, the bonds we're finally awarded to the
state in accordance with bid made by the board of
examiners.
But the state bid the highest There were
only three bids. One of the other bids was made by
San Francisco concern and by a Los Angeles
company. The Los Angeles bid the highest of
the three, but it was turned down in the award.
The only explanation of this strange action on the
part of the city trustees is given in the Sacramento
Bee thus: "The given by of the trustees
at the time the award made to the state was that
ii desired to keep the money in the state" Posi-
bly, that is understandable in Sacramento but it GER
tainy is not in Los Angeles.
The state board of examiners however, required an
opinion from the attorney general before cashin the
bonds, the board not being satisfied with the award as
made to the second bidder. The opinion of the attor
ney general settles the matter: 81 subscribe to
the principle that when a municipality has offered its
bonds for sale it refuse the highest bid made in
good faith and accept lower one"
And now, after many weeks of delay because of
the official blunder, Sacramentos bond question is
relegated back the starting point the prospect
that the much needed high school building will not be
available for the next school term.

A DISGRACED CITY

The wretched level that San Francisco has reached
in it's municipal government well illustrated last
week The Oldest newspaper in that city has for
months been faying the administration of Mayor
Schmitz. Smarting under this treatment, the mayor
and his henchmen, reported, instigated the news
boys to boycott the obnoxious newspaper effort
successful that the street sale of the paper
for a time almost entirely ceased Persons who at
tempted to sell the paper set upon and beaten
while readers of 1t were assailed in the streets and
elsewhere.
There seems to be doubt that Mayor Schmitz
and his chief satellites not only nsgated this outrage
but that the hoodums protected from police in
reference is certain anyway that the police made
effort to stop the dsgraceful spectacle
That the Schmtz administration was responsible
for the outrage is evidenced by statement the pres
dent of the board of public works. This chief hench
of the mayor, who controls the permits for sell
ing newspapers in San Francisco admits telling one
newsboy that he could have permit If he would not
sell Bulletins" And then he makes this statement:
Now that the Bulletin hitting I'll say that rm
glad it got into this I'll do all in my power to drive
1t of the Streets 1t has been hitting SO hard that
that have 1t in my power to do It harm I'd be
foolish TO let the chance slip"
There is example of the kind Of municipal govern
ment to which San Francisco is subjected No wonder
that the very OF the city has become "a byword
and reproach" Lawlessness and rioting have be.
come almost normal condition there
But San Francisco is getting its just deserts city
that deliberately burns itself expect to suffer from
the bsters The people of San Francisco and the peo
pie OF Chicago have Afforded warning other Ameri
communities that should be needed as terri.

Mr.. and Mrs D. M. Baldwin gave a
reception in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Vale and DIR. and Mrs. Irving
F. Baldwin at their home in The Palms
Friday evening There were about 100
guests present among them the class of
1905 of the dental college of u. S. c.,
of which both DR.. and Mrs. Baldwin
were members.
The spacious parlors and dining room
were beautifully decorated with palms
and mustard. A pleasing feature of
the decorations was large picture of
the class and faculty embowered in
ferns and mustard. Red amaryllis,
roses and geraniums were used in the
hall and library, where punch was
served. Many beautiful presents were
received by both couples, one of the
handsomest being cut glass bowl pre-
sented to DR.. and Mrs. Baldwin by
their classmates.
The guests were entertained by Mrs.
S. d. Hallock, Miss Clarkson and DR..
Ball, who each gave several vocal Sc
lections, and Miss Ball, who rendered
very difficult instrumental piece.

ever afterward.
There was place for a large cast
in the play and several sensational
scenic effects. The novel method of at
tempting to exterminate the heroine by
throwing her into an elevator shaft
and then ringing down the elevator on
top of her was received with tremen-
dous enthusiasm by the audience.
Miss Anna Roberts was presented as
the Grands new leading woman and
made a distinct impression. She gave
vivid portrayal of the down-trodden,
pursued shop girl, and her work was
thoroughly in keeping with the play.
Juliette Chandler as Josie, a waif, did
some exceedingly clever work. Rich

were out of step, but both the audience
and the other members of the company
were tremendously entertained.
Miss Blanche Hall is something of an
ingenue this week. A jolly little girl
who has no scruples about killing
Spaniards and villains. Being a rash
and impetuous bit of femininity, she
sticks knife into a man because he
refuses to release a child when she or
ders him to. 1t causes any amount OF
trouble. Miss Hall does what the part
calls for about as well as any one
could.
The four acts are laid in Cuba, where
the Americans are opening war with
the Spaniards Some delightful scenic
effects are produced.

to be poor and find some honest means

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
GUEST OFDEMOCRATIC
CLUB
A REMARKABLE OCCASION
Political Differences Not a
Personal Issue.
cBy Associated Press)


Chicago. May 11.-Honoring and hon
ored by his political foes but personal
friends President Roosevelt was last
night the chief guest at a magnificent
banquet rendered him by the lroquois
club, the leading Democratic organic
alton of Illinois. Surrounded by men
who have fought against him in two
national campaigns, who depreoate
many Of his avowed policies, and who
have frowned upon some of his political
actions. the president was last night
cheered to the echo as he entered and
left the banquet hall, was applauded
with enthusiasm throughout his ad-
dress and at its close was given to
understand that in his case political
differences were not a personal issue.
The banquet, which was, from first
to last, an ovation, was given entirely
by delegates to the leader Of their po-
litical opponents, and many Of the
kindly personal references made by the
speakers of the evening. the majority
Of whom were Of Democratic faith
deeply touched the president. In his
manner and words he evinced through
out the evening a deep qualification at
the warmth of his reception from men
who have fought him in political bat
ties before now and are ready to fight
him again tomorrow if they considered
| it necessary. Throughout the entire
evening, however, ran the dominant
note of admiration for the character
and friendship for the man himself.
The great banquet hall of the Audi
torium. which has been the scene of
many notable gatherings, never held
one more representative than that
which assembled there last night to
do honor to Preside Roosevelt. Given
under the auspices Of the Democratic
organization as it was, not that the
majority of those present should be
members Of that party. bat throughout
the banquet han there were many men
strong in Republican doctrines and big
in the councils of their party in Illinois.
At the presidents table were Mayor
Edward f. Dunno, Chas. r. Gunther,
president of the Iroquois club; James
Hamilton Lewis, who acted as toast
MASTER Samuel Alschuler Sheriff
rhos E. Barrett and other Democrats.
OF the Republicans there were at the
