STAGE AND PLATFORM
Inc Jewell stock Company.

The Jewell Stock Company.
which was billed to appear at the
Columbus Theatre last Tuesday
and Wednesday nights. did not
open Tu esday night, as on &C
count of the bad weather there
was such a small audience pres
ent that Manager HUMPHREYS
deemed it inadvisable to raise
the curtain. The company APP
peared Wednesday night in The
Christian Slave, and gave the
rankest performance ever wit
messed in Columbus. Some of
the alleged actors were drunk,
some failed to remem Der their
lines and all were utterly incom-
petent. The jokes which the
speciality performers got off were
not only suggestive but obscene,
so obscene in fact that many peo-
pie left the theatre before the
performance was over.
The manager of the company
wanted TO extend the engage
ment, and announced from the
stage Wednesday night that a
performance would be given on
the following night. This an
nouncement, however, was made
without the knowledge of Mana
ger HUMPHREYS, who firmly re
fused to allow the company to
appear again in his house. The
aggregation was busted, but
Manager Hum phries gave them
enough money to get out of town,
and they left for West Point
Thursday afternoon.

WINTER BASEBALL YARNS COMING EARLY

The baseball fans in the east and
west have been getting their I'LL of
winter baseball yarns little earlier
than usual. The general o. end has
been toward consolidation of ma jor
leagues, but THAT is simply in line
with what has been handed out for
the past two years. They say that
whore there is smoke there Is FIRE,
and probably 1t is true in this case.
hit the chances are they Will be
smouldering for some time to come.
However, there is no denying tn,
fact that many of the big league mag
rates would like to bring about an
anna lgamation of the two leagues
and the chances are that something
will come of all this talk within the
next two or three years, but not be-
fore.
The past season was a very pros
porous one in the two big leagues, and
It is not to be expected that the mag
mates who were lucky enough to be
on the winning side financially wiz
want to go into an immediate con-
solidation where they would be call
ed upon to dig deep down in their
pockets and contributei handsomely
towards such a scheme. II is more
likely that instead of consolidation
there will be an understanding where

The w. g. I. U. Meeting.

The w. C. T. U. of Paducah held
its regular meeting yesterday after
noon at 8 o'clock in the lecture room
of the First Baptist church. After the
miscellaneous business which in
cluded the reports of the various
committees, Mrs. Anna Friant, SUI
perintendent of the department of
literature. was in charge of the ex-
ercises.
1t was the first mseting of this
department and Mrs. Friant stressed
the importance of it by an earnest
talk on it's wide scope and power for
good. Readings and talks along this
line followed and the meeting was
ona of more than usual interest. The
same subject will be taken up at the
next meeting. November 1G. and a
cordial invitation is extended to any
one desiring to attend.

ZONE THING At A TIME"

The "stand patters' have adopted
a new subterfudge and it is a
"baby" subterfudge at that. They
sayein substance, it may be all right
some time in the dim and distant
future to talk tariff revision but the
great, paramount question of the
hour is railroad rate legislation and
nothing must be permitted to inter-
fere with it. "One thing at a
time '' To one familiar with
congressional procedure this decla-
ration ID paipable Hypocrisy. 1t
doesn'. even have the merit of
plausibility. 1t is simply sneak
ing, cowardly lodging of the issue.
Railroad rate legislation, if the
same rules prevail now as when we
were a member of the house, will
go to the Judiciary committee.
When they report probably five
days will be occupied! in the
discussion. The railroad rate bill
will not occupy more than.a week
of the time of the House at the
outside. Tariff revision would go
to the committee of Ways and
Means. There will be abundant
time to discuss both measures. If
congress does not take any action
on, tariff revision it will be because
they do not desire to and not for
lack of time. If congressman do
not, want to take action on this
subject, if they think such action
ill advised, let them frankly say so
and not try to lie out of it.
II our present congress have
determined to ssstand pat" let them
p1ainly declare their sentiments and
the American voters will do the
rest. We would much rather
support man radically and openly
opposed to us than hypocrite.

WHAT WI SAID.

II
A recent interview published in
the Minneapolis Journal made us
say that we were in favor of the
"leaders'' getting together and
selecting a candidate for governor.
What we did say, or at least what
we intended to say, was "That in
our opinion no one can afford to be
a candidate for governor at the
present time. That the proper
thing to do is for the republicans to
hold an early convention and for
each county to select it's best and
strongest men for delegates. Men
who are known to have the full
confidence of their constituents and
send them absolutely uninstructed
to the convention and then let the
delegates after deliberation and
consultation together select the
candidate. In other words let the
people through their representatives
make the nomination.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1905-12-21
TOO BIG TO HURRY

Julius Block is in no hurry to let
them know that he is candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor, but so far his name mentioned
in connection with the nomination
has effectively "blocked" any other
candidate from appearing in the open.
Julius is strong vote-getter, was not
mixed up in the Dunn-Collins squab-
BILE of year ago, and from all appear
ances is getting his share of favorable
mention Herman Review.
