The Baptist College.

ABaptist College is to be located

large measure Hammond 9 pros
peIity. and nothing pleases tue Sun
more than To zee our sister town en-
loving her share OF the good things.
However, ID this particular instance,
we believe Hammond has many su.
perior advantages to offer over any
other town 10 the Florida Parishes,
for the erection Of the Baptist col
lege al this point. With our present
excellent train service over the
Illinoise Central, and the additional
new road 10 connect with five trunk
lines east and west would furnish
excellent travelling facilities. and the
pure water frem the artesian wells
which cannot be secured at many
other places, would mean much 70
an educational institution Of this
kind, and the fact that Hammond
| is one OF the mcst healtbfnl places
IN the world also has its bearings.
No doubt every iDdntenent ncces-
sary to secure, the college will be
offered BY The Hammond people
when the proper Time comes. =

THE WIZARD Of OF
STILL COINS HUMOR
Eyokes Laughterat National
as of YOre.

The Wizard of o. which came
back to the New National Theater last
night for week engagement. at
traeted q fairly large audience, and
proved as potent in evoking laughter
as upon it's first production here last
season. The same grotesque individ-
uals gyrated before the footlights:
the same picturesque scenes passed
before the eye; the same tuneful dit
ties, and some more besides, fell upon
the ear. and the same bizarre dances
furnished entertainment.
There is this to be said about the
Wizard of OFT is q compound Of
unbiushing nonsense frankly placed be-
fore the public without an apology
that it might be otherwise. It does
not pretend in any of its constituent
elements TO point a moral or adorn
a tale" It's sole aimsis to furnish fun.
and lots Of it. by setting upon the
stage an aggregation OF improbable
characters in a succession of improb-
able scenes, and the greater the i'm
probability of either, or both, the more
furious the fun. Another distinguish
ing fact about all this mirth and mer-
riment is that nothing in all the scenes
and incidents ofYends the most faStfd-
ious sensibilities, and that Is more
than can be said about a good many
similar productions of modern comic
opera.
In the galaxy of funmakers there are
Fred y. Stone, as the Scarecrow, he
being che originator OF the part; David
C. MoatSamery, as the Tin Woodman,
Lolita Faust, as Tryxie Tryfie, whose
singing of Sammy" had to be encored
over and over again; Anna Laughlin,

teresting of all Shakespearean charac-
tiers, Richard III. 1t is generally con-
coded that in his Interpretation Of the
works of the great Bard of Avon DR..
Stafford has no superior, il, indeed, he
has many equals. He is q logical and
powerful thinker, a perfect elocutionist.
and master of expression. In his in
depreciation of the life and ambitions
of Richard III, Dr. Stafford has ample
scope for his marvellous powers. The
lecture has not been heard in Washing
ton for long time. and has been re-
vfsed and elaborated upon so that his
delineation of Richards character and
the lessons taught by his life and tragic
ending on Bosworth Field are considered
the most effective in his repertoire OF
Shakespearean lectures.
A large number OF prominent and dis
tinguished people have expressed their
intention TO be present on the occasion
of the lecture. including among others

SUPERVISION FOR
DISTRICT BANKS

After conference with Commission
er Mcfarland yesterday Afternoon, rep
resentatives of all Incorporated banks
in the District, which are not now I'M
der the supervision of the Comptroller
OF the Currency. agreed that it would
be well for their own interests and for
the good of the public TO have ali such
banks under Government supervision.
Two suggestions were made: One that
there be District superintendent of
banking: another that the supervision
come under the Comptroller of the Cur
rsncy.
The bankers were unanimous in stat
ing their preference for supervision be-
ing given into the hands Of the Comp
troller, and promised their cooperation
to bring 1t about
The bankers participating In the con-
ference We're: J. s. TAFT, manager In
ternational Banking Corporation; B. F
Saul, president Home Savings Bank; P.
A. Drury. president and A. G. Chaplain,
treasurer. Merchants and Mechanics
Bank; c. H. Davidge. treasurer and
cashier. Washington Savings Bank
John b. Sleman, jr., secretary Union
Savings Bank, and George G. Boteler
treasurer. Potomac Savings Bank.
It was the idea of all the bankers
that the Comptroller had the expert
ence and the men necessary to make
effective supervision by examination
and report; that the work done under
his control would cost the banks less
and. further. that II would cost the
District nothing.
At the conclusion OF the conference
Commissioner Macfarland stated thai
he would see the Comptroller of the Cur
rency In the near future, get his opin
Ion on the question and probably hi!
