1.-THE SIGN OF THE CROSS"

The advent Of Wilson Barrett's
spectacular religious and historical
drama, ''The Sign Of the Cross" which
occurs at the Keylor Grand Oct. q,
will bring to the interest and atten-
ton of all classes in this community
one of the most remarkable plays of
the age and one which for the past sew
en- years has been the most successful
Of all dramatic productions in Eng
land and America, and has also tri-
umphed in Australia, South Africa and
countries Of Continental Europe. Mr..
Barrett's great work is styled a re-
1igious drama because the main theme
of its stirring story deals with the
early years of the Christian religion
when the faithful Christians were be-
ing prosecuted even unto death in the
Roman arena under the terrible rule
of Nero. The beautiful pictures of
the enduring Christians, their suffer-
ings. heroism and triumph in their

A SUCCESSFUL PLEA,

Charles Klein, author of "The Lion
and the Mouse experienced the same
difficulty in securing a hearing for
his play that almost every successful
dramatist undergoes. When he mad
finished the manuscript he approached
every manager of prominence in New
York, but none Of them thought well
of it until he met Henry B. Harris
This gentleman saw the wonderful
possibilities Of a drama dealing with
the question of trusts and political
intrigue and forthwith made contract
with Mr.. Klein. The result is known
to everyone who reads the newspa-
pers or magazines, as 1.-The Lion and
the Mouse" has made the greatest hit
of everything known to the native
stage in the last decade. When Mr..
Klein completed his latest play,
Daughters of Men," he never went
farther than Mr. Harris office to place
his product and the new piece is an
other big success. At the Keylor

AT THE kEYLoR GRAND

The more one seeks for the original
source Of the mythical legend Of the
Holy Grail, which is the foundation
of Richard wagner's beautiful spec
tacle of "Parsifal," the more one be-
comes bewildered at the many different
explanations that present themselves.
Eminent writer's and scholars have
presented their individual views, ar
irving at many different conclusions.
They all agree, however, in admit
ting that the legend, in its various
forms, existed long before Christianity
became so potent a factor in the
worlds history. From a close study
Of the subject one would come to the
belief that the legend, in practically
the same form, but with a different
direct meaning, had been created in
pagan lands of the earliest antiquity,
and later had been adapted by the
early Christian church in its mystery
plays, and so handed down to us in
its present different forms. Certain
it is, however, that Wagner must have
made close study Of the vast material
bearing upon the subject, and in the
production of "ParsifaI' gives us an

PRESIDENT OR ACTING PRESI-
DENT,

i.
Leslie's Weekly has recently COM
piled and published an ingenious argu-
ment to show that Mr.. Roosevelt has
never been president but once, and
that only since his election by the peo-
pie. According to the authorities it
cites when he succeeded Mr.. Mckinley,
he succeeded merely to the powers and
duties Of the Office, and not to the
office itself. That the vice-president,
when performing the duties of presi-
dent is acting president only, was the
opinion of Webster, and the group of
statesmen and lawyers who composed
the elder Harrison's cabinet. John
Quincy Adams maintained that Mr..
Tyler. who succeeded Mr.. Harrison,
should properly sign himself vice
president and acting president" A
good many Of the heavyweight law
yers, of the day were disguised because
Tyler brushed aside their technicali-
ties and signed himself president.
The whole argument is based on
bubble about a title It does not
touch the question Of the Washington
precedent. Mr.. Roosevelt interpreted
that precedent for himself. In so do
Ing he may have made new one, but
there is not any question but what he
admitted that he had been president
for nearly four years in succession to
Mckinley.

THOSE DISCHARGED BOSSES.

AS was to be expected the Evening
Bunc" rushed to the defense Of its po-
litical dictator, former Warden A.
Frank KEGS. AS was also expected
the defense was undoubtedly written
by KEGS himself, who has a penchant
for writing newspaper communications
whenever he is able to secure the
space.
What was not expected, however.
was the frank admission that the re-
moval was wholly political.
At first blush it would seem as If
tho former warden's only recourse was
to allege the cause of his removal as
being of a political nature and the
result of an enmity supposedly exist
ing between himself and B. D. Croker
personally.
But, getting down to real politics,
it was the weakest stand the shrewd
Mr.. KEGS and the adaptable Evening
Bunc" could take. 1t composes a
confession of weakness in the only
direction that Evening Bunc" crowd
has heretofore, claimed strength-po-
litical power.
All three of the men attempting to
lead the "Bunc" crowd of politicians
are discharged employees. All three
have greivance-that they were de-
tected in treachery and ousted from
their former organization. Their sole
weapon has been the threat of knif-
ing the different political factions. To
make good this threat they were COM
PEELED to put up a bluff at being real
dictators in local and state politics.
The bluff went through the county
convention and their special candidates
were forced on the republican ticket,
notwithstanding the rundown they
received at the primaries. To prevent
further treachery and possible party
disruption, the sops were thrown to
them.
This weakened action gave the
ousted ones a new lease of life. It gave
them sufficient prestige upon which
to work another combination the eff
fects of which have been seen in the
sudden detection Of the mayor and
the restoration of bill" Kirkman ead
the heretofore unexplained actions of
other councilmen. The neuclus of
new organization of office seekers and
spoilsmen was made and the indica-
lions of a later fight for local recog-
milton were strong.
But the discharge Of KEGS was the
shattering of the new egg thus
Matched. 1t removed the one anchor
to leeward and destroyed all hopes of
the "Bunc" crowd of politicians being
able to do business in political black
mail and forced trades for profit and
power. Scorned and repudiated, even
by the governor, there was but one
recourse left-to get into line and be
good
But the admission, or assertion,
that the men who betrayed Senator
Ankeny were thrown out by the man
TO whom they made the betrayal has
forever closed that door of return. It is
confession of weakness to their fol-
lowing which will undoubtedly send
the henchmen to other dispensaries of
patronage-and that reduces the would
be bosses to rear ranks, as their only
power has been that of bribed organ
ization at the polls.
