Although there is a general antip-
| athy toward trusts of every kind, the
worst enemy of the octopus cannot
| deny the fact that the theatrical trust
has been a benefit to the smaller
towns and cities OF the country. In
the old days there elapsed a period
varying from five to ten years before
New York success found it's way
to the one-night stands. The COM
pany, following it's New York run,
! generally made a tour of the larger
cities of the North and East, and af-
ter this section had been thoroughly
covered the production was sent to
the South. BY this time the scenery
and costumes were nearly worn out,
and the incidental music, provided
the attraction was an opera or a
musical comedy, had been played by
hand organs and minstrel bands until
the people were sick of it. Now, how
ever, things are different. Let play
make a big hit in New York, and
within a few weeks there are from
road with it. Nor are these compan-
les cheap limitations of the originals.
They are made up of good people and
the scenery, properties and accesso-
ries are the best that money can buy.
A press agent, who has had years
of experience in the show business,
stated not long since that the one
night stands were playing this sea-
son regular Broadway attractions.
Now, press agents are not noted for
their veracity, but in this instance the
theatrical man spoke the truth. Co
lumbus has already had some of the
best attractions on the road, and the
bookings for the remainder OF the
season include number of stars in
both opera and drama who are recOg
nized favorites in the larger cities
of the East and who play nothing but
the most fashionable and highest
priced houses. 1t is true Messrs. Pat
terson and Street, the enterprising
managers of the Columbus Theater,
have made unusual efforts to secure
gOoQ attractions, ana Cney deserve 10
be highly mpiimented on the splen-
did success which has attended this
effort. 1t is also true, however, that
had it not been for the theatrical
trust and certain conditions due to
the existence of this trust, it would
have been we'll nigh impossible to
have secured these attractions. This
theatrical trust, which is under the
headed by Klaw and Erlanger, has
for the past ten years held full sway
in the South, having owned or con-
trolled the leading theaters in all
the Southern cities. They were max
ing so much money that managers

COMMERCIALISM AND THE DRAMA

outside the trust became jealous, and
recently strong opposition has devel-
oped. This opposition is led by Lee
Shubert, who owns theaters in sew
eral Eastern cities; Harrison Grey
Fiske, editor of the Dramatic News;
James K. Hackett, who owns the
alter in New York and who is himself
an actor; David Belasco, who wrote
THE Darling of the Gods tThe
Girl from the Golden West" and
many other plays, and includes num-
erous managers, playwrights and act
ors, who for one reason or another
are antagonistic toward Klaw and Err
Ianger and their cohorts. These men,
who are known as the Independents,
are struggling for a foothold in the
South, and Klaw and Erlanger are
fighting to keep them out.
The Independents have theaters in
a few of the Southern cities, but the
number is so small that it is impossi-
bic to book a complete route for
company touring the South, and if
a Southern tour is made by one of
the Independent attractions a great
deal of the time must be filled in
one night stands. The theaters in
most of the smaller towns are owned
by local capitalists, but in most in
stances Klaw and Erlanger are the
New York Representatives of the man
ayers, and in order to keep their eli
ents and the theater going publis sat
ents and the theater going public sat
attractions under their control. They
have of course good reason for do
ing this, for the few attractions that
the Independents have in. the South
are good ones, and if cheap compan-
les were foistered upon the one-night
stands the managers would become
rebellious and would play the Inde-
pendent attractions whenever oppor-
tunity offered.
1t is said that the plan which K1aw
and Erlanger have adopted in book
ing the better class of attractions in
the one-night stands does not meet
with the approval of the road man
ayers, as in some instances the gross
receipts of a performance have not
been large enough to cover the daily
expense. From a local standpoint,
however, there is no room to COM
plain, as all the high-class attractions
have been literally patronized, most
of them having played to capacity
business. 1t is claimed by the Inde-
pendents that if Klaw and Erlanger
eventually succeed in securing abso-
lutte control of the theatrical business
they'll send us nothing but cheap
productions and inferior actors, but
they're doing pretty we'll SO far, and
perhaps we'd better let we'll enough
alone.

generally approved by the people
of Colorado. The party caucus,
like many other excellent agen-
cies, has been made the tool Of
gang politics. Originally it was
calculated to be the place where
men met to discuss problems and
arrive at reaso nable solution of
mooted questions. In recent
years the caucus has degenerated
into an inquisition in which men
were lampooned into doing some
thing that they would have pre-
fered to leave undone. We con-
fess to a feeling of pride that.
Colorado has furnished the man
to make such forceful revolt
against the caucus rule. We are
utterly at a loss to see where
treaty matters are party matters.
1t seems to us that in these affairs
each individual should be allowed
to exercise all the intelligence he
possesses without having his
course dictated by a brutal party
majority. many of whom may
be effected by local conditions.
Party ties set mighty lightly these
days, and good suggestion from
democrat is likely to find recog-
milton in republican camp.
Therefore when President Roose-
welt makes good proposals it is
but reasonable to assume that
some broad minded democrats
will desire to uphold his hands.

There are perhaps 5O.OOO,OU

The St. Louis Globe Democrat
says that if man can get a job on

correct. And if he lives until the

1t is stated that Mr.. Henry G..
Frick, the steel and coal baron,
has purchased a Pittsburg daily
newspaper that has long made
him the subject of ridicule. This
offers new field for the diver

incidentally points the way to a
solution of that vexed question as
to how the money being accumu-
lated in few hands shall be dis
tributed among the people. Man
ayers of big corporations long ago
secured great newspapers through
which to safe guard and advance
their corporation interests, but it
seems to be something new for
corporation manager to invest in
a newspaper in order to avoid its
ridicule. ii our multi-millionaires

SECRETARY JACK
WANTS MACHINES
THE SECRETARY OF THE TERRI
TORY Is A BELIEVER IN VOTING
MACHINES.

There has been so much dissatisfac-
tion expressed about town over the
outcome of the recent election in which
the supreme Court has counted the
election returns different from the ms
pectors that it has started considerable
of movement for the government to
buy and install voting machines. A
number of influential men are said to
be i'm favor of the plan including a.
L. c. Atkinson, Secretary Of the Ter
rltory.
4 would like to see voting machines
installed very much" said the Secre-
tary this morning, Il believe that it
would not only keep out all fraud and
dissatisfaction but that it would fur
thermore be cheaper. The machines
would cost the government about $500
each and the cost of these would more
than be betrayed by three elections on
the outside.
The argument commonly used in
opposition to the installation of the
machines is the statement that they
can be beat. But this is no longer
true. They have these machines now
so that they give the returns correctly
and eNpeditiously. l believe that it
would be a great thing for the gov
ernment here to have the machines in

KINNEY EXAMINING WITNESSES TO SHOW EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED AT DISPUTED PRECINCTS DURING
ELECTION ESPECIALLY DURING THE COUNT-sHER-
BROWN CALLED STAND

Kaau and another policeman were
watching him as he called out each bal
lot. Witness said he did not of his
own knowledge fail to read the name
of Brown on any of the ballots. All
of the ballots were taken out of the
box and 1 read them. Ludloff kept
the tally. To the knowledge of the
witness no ballots with four super
visors voted FOR on them were counted.
Two ballots with marks down the mid
die were counted. Sidney Jackson was
among those who had been present.
Apakimanawai had asked to see every
ballot. Gear refused to admit that
Brock the other inspector would tes-
tify to the same thing that Austin had
done.
Sheriff Brown was called by Kinney
and questioned as to the three police
men who had been present. He stat
ed that none of them had been sent
there to look after his interests but he
presumed they were loyal to him. He
supposed that Jim Kupihea was also
loyal to him. Kupihea was in the
eighth of the fifth.
Kinney then asked that the bags
containing the official tally list ballots
voted in the Sth of the 5th be opened,
his purpose being to compare the Of
fetal tally list of those voted with the
number of ballots returned by the
inspectors for the county election.
The totals were found to tally. They
were 219 Previous to the count all
