vidual initiative was greater than
theirs The people of this country
wanted that strike settled, and they
flew to the support of the first man
who proposed feasible plan. 1t
was not the act of the president; no
body was compelled to accept Mr..
Roosevelts invitation to attend con-
ference and nobody was bound by any
suggestions he might offer.
DR.. Rogers conclusion seems to be
that the people are forcing duties upon
the president which they should not
do, in view of the fact that they
might some time have president who
would make a bad use of the prece-
dents. But when the people want
things done, is it not natural they
should turn to the presidency, "the
peoples Office" rather than the SEN
ate, since they can learn Immediate
ly from the president whether the
thing can be done, while the senate
is apt to bury the question in the
tomb of courtesy.

The play was given with excellent
scenic effects and brought forth ap-
preciative applause from the audi

night and Wednesday afternoons mat
inee. Mr.. Redmond announces that
on Friday night there will be another
baby buggy given away. The rules
for the contest will be the same as
have prevailed at the theater and it
will be the means of attracting a
large audience.

Adelaide Hermann.

Considerable interest attaches to the
forthcoming appearance of Adelaide
Hermann, widow of the famous ma
gician, at the Keylor Grand for one
night, Tuesday, October 81. M. Herr
mann, by close association with the
great necromancer, has benefited and
completed several of his prospective
illusions and presents an entertain
ment of magic which has never before
been attempted. Her pleasing per-
sonality and personal charm give adj
ded delight to her work, which is
enhanced by brilliant surroundings in
the matter of scenery and wardrobe.
With the company, as an added at
traction, are the four American Thum-
peteers, Americas foremost military
musical art and Xylophone experts.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
PRESIDENTIAL POWERS.

DIR. Henry Wade Rogers, dean OF the
Vale law school. in an address at
Fanueil hall a few nights ago, de-
pIored the growing power OF the
president of the United States, in
stancing the recognition of Panama
the age pension order and the set
Element of the coal strike by the
present executive as Illustrations OF
usurpation.
Ever since the civil war, he said,
there has been a steady centrallza-
ton of government and transforma-
ton in the political thinking OF our
people. The treatment of our new
people The treatmet of our new
possessions is one evidence of what
has been taking place in the American
mind. DR.. Rogers went on to say
that the people had practically given
up the doctrines of the declaration of
independence in their attitude toward
the Philippines. They had, through
congress, turned over to the presl-
dent autocratic power to rule these
people according to his will.
Dr. Rogers alluded to President
Clevelands appointment of Mr..
Blount, the paramount commissioner
to the Hawaiian islands, and said it
was without precedent The San
Domingo protocol was also alluded
to mad DR.. Rogers averred that the
first intention seemed to have been
to put il in operation without refer
ence to the senate. and that the plan
was abandoned in the face of severe
criticism of the proposal
The whole argument of Dr. Rogers
is that there has been a change in
the political thinking or the people,
and perhaps he is right. The people,
who are certainly the source of all
political acts in this country, aside
from those merely routine in their
character, have approved the steps
taken by congress to acquire ana
govern the Philippine islands. They
never would have been neld if the
people had not approved the act.
Congress has temporarily placed their
government in the hands of the pres
ident, but congress on any day of
any session could take the power
back and could dispose of the Phil
ippines by granting the natives COM
plete independence The president is
not responsible for the Philippine act
He is the servant of congress in the
matter and it proves, if anything, the
expansion of the powers of congress,
not of the president.
The country has been marching. it
is true. and the powers of the vari-
Gus officials have kept up with the
procession. The constitution has ex-
panded from time to time without a
change in its letter. Our generation
was not the first to expand it, nor
have We had the honor of making the
most startling changes. Thomas
Jefferson, when he bought Louisiana
and ruled it about as We are ruling
Porto Rico, was the first and greatest
expansionist of the meaning of the
constitution and of the territory of
the republic.
DR.. Rogers objections to the acts
OF the present executive are not quite
fair. Mr.. Roosevelt did not settle the
coal strike as president of the Unit
ed States, but as an individual inter-
ested IN a great industrial problem.
Mr.. Hanna or Bishop Potter or Car
dinal Gibbons might have done if
just as we'll as the president. except
Tor the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt's indi-

Der of dummy school directors.
Dougherty not only ran the schools,
but he ran the finances as we'll or as

boards, while they might be excused
for not keeping a close grip on the
teaching or textbooks, could never
be excused from the duty of taking
care of the finances of the schools.

NEAR TRAGEDY FOR PICTURE.
Camera "Rescue" of Woman Rider by
Police Almost Serious Accident.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Intended
merely for a moving picture scene Of
action, a make-believe rescue of a
woman on a supposed-to-be runaway
horse in the park, yesterday became an
episode fraught with imminent danger.
If the picture machines did their work
properly the show that they give will
be more thrilling than any scene ever
projected in the screen.
The Patrolmans Benevolent associa-
ton is preparing for a benefit per-
Torrance to be given Dec. 5. The po-
lice consulted the moving picture peo-
pie about getting up representations
that would be life-like. One of these
was to be a thrilling imitation of a po-
licemans capture of a runaway horse
beyond control Of it's fair rider. The
picture men said they could fix the
films if the police could furnish the
actors. There was hitch about that.
The mounted men knew many horse
women, but all made excuses. Finally,
the Hippodrome managers were ap-
pealed to and Miss Adele Won Oil vol
unteered. It took more tnan an hour
to lay out the course and rehearse the
scene. When the word was given,
Miss Won Obi gave her steed the whip,
and he fairly flew past the first mark.

IN TIN PAIL HEN MADE NEST.
There She Hatched Ten Chickens-But
How To Get Them Down?

RIVERHEAD, L. l., Nov. Am old
hen owned by Asa D. Fordham
chose tin pail, hung about ten feet
from the floor, as the place in which
to bring up a family. She laid ten eggs
and hatcned every one Of them, the
family coming off" last Saturday.
This high minded hen selected the tin
pail home unknown to her owner. Be-
ing released from the coop daily she
went to an old building. wherein hung
the pail. 1t must have been quite a
stunt for the old bird to fly up to
the pail and get safely within without
breaking the eggs that had been laid
from day to day but it was accom-
plished without accident, in spite of
the fact that there was not the least
bit of straw for the meet. The pail was
a deep one, which made the feat of
balancing her nenship on the edge
while she got in, all the more difficult.
How she ever got out is still more Won
derful. After the chickens were
Matched the hen was up against" a
proposition-how to get them down to
the ground. Mr.. Fordham happened
to go into the building last Saturday
morning and heard the peep of chick
ems. He looked carefully around but
could not find any for some time.
Finally he traced the peeping to the
with none Of the comforts of home.
He took them outside and prepared
a new home in the sunshine.
