"By engaging in this battle as a

For Embryo PIaywrights.

eff you are playwright in embryo
said an actor, don't, for your first at
tempt, write a four-act drama, but
write little curtain-raiser Of one act
instead There is a demand for good,
strong, one-act curtain-raisers that
the supply doesn't begin to meet.
This demand has been caused by
the late dinner hour adopted by the
fashionable world. In the country the
dinner hour is still noon, but in New
York it is 80 or 8 o'clock. It is no
longer possible, in fact, for fashion
able people to eat without haste a
good dinner and reach the theater be-

when the play is a serious drama, to
miss the first act is a serious loss.

KEY TO VICTORY OVER TRUSTS.

WHl1SON WILL BE JUDGE
WASHINGTON DELEGATION IN
CONGRESS UNANIMOUSLY
ENDORSED HIM.
Senator Ankeny Will Have the Nam
ing Of the Marshal and United
States Attorney.

The new federal judgeship is now
certain to go to Edward Whitson of
North Yakima. According to a dis
patch that comes from the national
capital the entire Washington delega-
ton in congress has signed an endorse
ment of Mr.. Whitson and the same
has been transmitted to President
Roosevelt. 1t was signed by all the
members from this state including
Senator ELECT Piles has also appended
his name to the document.
The appointment of Whitson will
probably be keenly regretted by the
many friends of Judge Thomas H.
Brents, who have had hopes that he
might be advanced to the federal
bench. 1t is believed that when B. D.
Croker was in Walla Walla recently
he explained the position of the leaders
of the party and it was decided that
the Wa1la Walla man would withdraw
from the contest
1t is now limited that Senator An
keny will have the naming of the
marshal and clerk for the new dis
trict, and that his choice will be
George H. Baker for marshal and eth
err Samuel Stern or Joseph Lindsey
for attorney. The clerkship of the
new district is still unsettled, but the
wise ones are now claiming that the
office will probably go to some man
residing in one of the Columbia river
counties.
What Walia Walla county will get
out of the distribution of the patron
age is a question at present. In all
probability, however, some Walla Wal
la man may be named for deputy Unit
ed States marshal.
