Lawson Falls Down.

Mr.. Lawson says he would rather be
Mr.. Jerome than anybody else in the
world. He has seen that Mr.. Jerome
voice does not break down. Lawson
had never made speech before he went
to Kansas and he didn't know the
game. He overworked his works and
had to quit. 49,.
The same thing happened to William
j. Bryan after he was nominated for
the presidency in 1896. He started for
New York to accept the nomination in
great meeting in Madison Square
garden, but he made so many car-plat-
form speeches on the way that he ar
rived in New York in state of coma.
He was not able to speak above a
whisper, and If the newspapers had not
printed liberal extracts from his four
teen-column speech, the people Of the
east would have had no official knowl-
edge that the great commoner had been
induced to accept the nomination.
. Lawson banged the "system' sc
hard Fat Ottawa, Kan, that he could
go no further. His physical powers re:
fused to respond. The next time he got
up to jump on the system, the jump was
not there. This is lesson to all new
champions. When you are going to play

before issuing a challenge. -.s ..

Small Potatoes.

{ Governor Mead Of Washington has
given an imitation Of a small caliber
statesman suffering with grouch,''
in his treatment of Minnesota requisi-
tion. A prisoner wanted in Minneapo-
lis, and under Indictment by the Hen
nepin county grand jury, is under ar
rest at Seattle. A Minnesota officer is
on the ground with full proof of the in
dictment and the identity of the pris-
oner, but Governor Mead refuses to
honor the requisition of Minnesota g
governor, because a Washington requi-
sition was turned down by Minnesota
last April.
The reasons for that action were fully
explained to Governor Mead at the
time. Before elected to his present po-
sition he was a practising attorney, and
unless he has been getting living un-
der false pretences he must have under
stood that the requisition was denied on
proper and legal grounds, under
the rules adopted by the ex-

ADJUSTMENTS

University Campus-'Comedy of Errors"
Comedy of Errors" was presented yes
terday afternoon by the Ben Greet COM
pany on the sylvan stage erected on the
University campus. The audience was
made up chiefly of students Of the drama.
To such the performance was interesting,
but to the seeker after diversion it would
have fallen short considerably Of the eff
feet produced by the same play given with
all the pomp and inventions Of modern
scenic investure.
The scenes of the play are chiefly laid
IN city streets and merchants, seafaring
men and Greek soldiers seemed ill-fitted
to rustic surroundings. The performances
lacked the charming naturalness and idyl-.
lie quality of GAS You Like IT, seen under
similar conditions and the fascination of
mystery produced by the strife of light
and darkness in midsummer Nights
Dream" The acting was quite equal to
any done by the company, but the per-
Torrance did not add anything to the re-
gard In which the company is held The
addition Of this play to an open-air roper
tory has nothing to recommend it except
to give variety.
To make Comedy of Errors interest
ing to twentieth century audiences the
parts Of the two Dromios need to be
played up In broad farce style, as the
whole play is written, by comedians hav-
ing all the tricks and quips of the stage
at their command. AS a dual star play
with suck comedians it is highly anus ng
without them it is very mildly so. The
interest yesterday was quite evenly dis
tributed but this did not strengthen the
| effectiveness Of the whole. Ben Greet
and Samuel Goodwin made all that was
possible Of the antics Of the Dromios under
the conditions. Miss Agnes Scott as Adri-
ana, the much-perplexed wife, did, some
very clever acting and looked stunning in
her blue Greek robe, with orange hued
flowers in her hair, and Daisy Robinson
was very convincing In her sisterly fdel-
| ity and devotion. The twin Antipholuses
were played by j. Sawyer Crawley and
Dallas Anderson, the latter entering par
ticularly well into the mischievous spirit
of the role in spite of his mystification.

Organizing Drainage Interests.

The. recent drainage convention at
Bemidji aroused the business men of
northern counties to the advantage of
a compact organization for promoting
the vast work of retaining swamp
lands. Once impressed with this point,
they acted promptly, and a permanent
drainage league is to be organized at
meeting in Crookston Aug. 1.
Such league promises to be of great
benefit to the cause Of drainage. Min
nesota has adopted settled policy Of
investing money in bitches which will
make state swamp lands salable and
fit for farming, but up to the present,
this work has been prosecuted on rather
small scale. When the state survey,
provided for by the last legislature, has
been completed, there will be no rea-
son for continuing the present con-
sentative policy. The sooner the main
bitches found necessary are all COM
pleted, the more rapid will be the
progress Of northern Minnesota. It is
in the hands Of the drainage league to
work up sentiment and shape the COM
paign for adequate appropriations when
the time is ripe. It does not need to
become a political or a partizan factor,
but can well afford to remain business
body. There will be conflicting inter
ests to consider as the work progresses,
and the meetings of the league will be
valuable for the exchange of ideas and
the settlement of mooted questions.
The Minnesota Drainage league is a
happy idea. It's possibilities are great,
and the organization meeting at Crooks
ton should be well attended.

Chauncey's Greatest Joke.

So dear, old Chauncey, the idol of the
festal board, was just a common, ordin-
ary CRATER. He organized the Depew
Improvement company, which borrowed
$4,000 from the Equitable on $15O,OOO
of assets. It did not pay the loan, prin-
cipal or interest, and the company had
to foreclose. Chauncey admits he made
a verbal promise to protect the Equit-
able from loss, but also admits that the
promise was not legally binding.
He drew 100000 year salary from
the Equitable for legal advice, which
he says was "given freely Surely in
view Of the $4,000 salary he cannot
mean freely. He must mean volubly.
This is more consistent with the facts
and sounds more like Chauncey.
