In consideration Of. the manner in
which the duties of the position
have been filled by Mr.. Palmer and
his efficient corps Of deputies, it is
improbable that any opposition to
his reelection will develop either at
the primaries or at the polls, az the
people believe to a great extent in
the merit system in matters .politi.
cal. And even though opposition
may develop, through the desires
of others to attain position, it would
be futile to attempt to change the
opinions of the voters in this case,
and his re election would be insured
beyond doubt. -.....

WHAT a::crimp it must have put
in the head Of one of the listeners
who for once knew his place: and
tried to keep his mouth shut-who
was present to see what the prop
erty-owners might decide on the
paving proposition Friday evening.
Despite his repeated dissertations
that the people along the street fa-
vored paving, the vote of an even
10 to 1 should show the party that
the taxpayers do their own think
ing, despite the efforts of tnooching
grouches to relieve them of the re-
sponsibility. -

Because 1t Gives Them Best Results

that rate. legislation could not be
talked out Of court. The more they
protracted the debate the more earnest
the country became on the subject and
the more plain it became to them that
there was no way out Of passing a
bill. The president had the Aldrich
crowd whipped That they awoke SO
late to the fact that a rate bill must
go thru is not creditable to their sa.
gacity. The president appears to have
gagged public opinion better than these
old-timers at the business and to have
finally outmaneuvered them at their
own game. =
The solid fact is that the country
is going to have it's aspirations for
relief from railroad oppression recog-
nized, and recognized because the pres
ident was loyal to the people and the
rate bill up to the very point of
breaking with the majority Of his party
in the endeavor to get it.

preciated by all advocates of modern
amusement with advanced methods and
surprises The scenes Of the play and
action of the story, which is in four
acts, take place in a small village in
Vermont, and many new stage creations
are presented. -
A notable performance Of one of the
prettiest American comedies ever writ
ten was given by Ralph Stuart and his
excellent company Of Pink Domtnoes, "
at the Lyceum last night The great
success which Mr.. Stuart predicted from
his summer comedy season was well en-
phasized in the attendance, as long be-
fore 8 o'clock the house was sold out
and standing room was at premium.
"Pink Dominoes, a wholesome, clean,
bright comedy, and its presentation by
the Ralph Stuart players will be reviewed
in Tuesdays Journal.
The Unique will present its fine new
comedy bill for this week, in which the
famous Partisan dancer. Adele PurVls

called "the prettiest act in vaudeville.

1 CAPITALIST OR PHILANTHRoPIsT?
1T Is not every young man that has
to make a choice between being a cap
italist and being philanthropist, but
such was the fate Of Boston youth,
according to Between TWO Masters, by
Gamalia Bradford, Jr. While the situa-
ton as drawn is fictitious and the fiction
is not very cleverly concealed, it is not
an impossible situation. The youth In
question could have his uncle's estate
valued at millions on condition that he
would give his life to his uncle's bust
ness. On condition that he followed an
Unborn inclination to devote his life to
good works, in a more literal sense of
the term works" he was to have prac-
tically nothing. A distaste for his uncle s
business on account of the gambling ele-
ment-a tain" -stood in the way of
the youths accepting the fortune and
dispensing 1t in a philanthropio manner.
How the dilemma affected the young
man and his friends and his love affairs
Is the burden Of the tale r. s-
The story Is not an exciting one, and
the hero" seems a rather Facilitating
sort Of chap tho under all the cir
cumstances perhaps it is not strange
that he found 1t hard to make up his
mind. The author writes rather form
ally; the conversation of his characters
is over-conventional, and their actions
are rather stiff. ~. -.~-.

ADJUSTMENTS
an-Dockstader's Minis,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ministries.
"Facile Rex" in minstrelsy, at least
Tor this generation, can Lew Dockstader
emblazon on his escutcheon with even
modesty This assertion Is forced by
consideration Of the minstrel show that
Dockstader presented at the METROPOLITAN
opera-house last notwithstanding an en-
gagement for the first half of the week.
IN comparison with the show presented
| recently on the same stage by George
Primrose, another minstrel king. The
Dockstader entertainment is praiseworthy
particularly because of the evident effort
| that is made to introduce new features.
The time-honored first part Is retained,
for 1t could not be minstrel show with
out that, but the jokes are new, the end
men are funny, and the singing is Of
high order. With Dockstaderi Neil
O'Brien and John King on the end there
Is no lack of fun. A photograph serves
as an interlocutor, and the finale is a
very effective tableau that appeals to
patriotic sentiment. w. H. Thompson,
barytone, Manuel Roman tenor and VIII
liam II. Mcdonald contributed solos that
were finely sung. with quartet and en-
semble choruses that were artistically
given. Fine orchestral accompaniment
was another feature which served to
make this part Of the program unusually
high class In a musical way. q.
A huge photograph album shows life
size portraits Of former kings of
minstrels-Rice, Christy, Bryant, EN-
NETT, Emerson and then Dockstader
himself steps out from the leaves of the
| book. His stunt this year is appearance
In the role of the lecturer In charge OF
sight seeing automobile. Motion pic
lures carry out the illusion of the trip
and they afford Dockstader fine oppor-
tunity for local hits. The finale is very
funny, for Dockstader is chased by the
angry passengers and the motion pictures
present the ludicrous scenes Of the pur-
suit which continues up and down hill,
ending in a tunnel.
Clog and soft shoe dancing by fourteen
dancers, including the Foley brothers, is
presented in a very clever stage arrange
ment and later on the same dancers ap-
pear in a Dixey land scene that is also
effective. Bargain Day in Department
Store" gives Neil O'Brien an opportunity
for some real comedy work, and is up
roariously funny. The conclusion Of the
show is an innovation. A very realistic
representation of a tornado suddenly
transforms a scene Of a. darby christen
! ing on q plantation to one Of ruin and
desolation, and in the center of the havoc
sits a little pickaninny alone amid the
ruin of happy home It is a
scene sufficiently striking and pathetic to
suggest graphically the San Francisco
Earthquake and coming as the finale OF
a minstrel show is complete surprise.
Dockstader is at his best this season
and the remembrance of him will always
! be a pleasant one.

DISASTROUS AUTO TOUR
STRAINS 4 FRIENDSHIP

marked Tx f Se lsRlato %seb etw ssztT9s
Bates Pest Who is playing ayyd Dustin in Fa4
mum, the star Of ''The Virginian,' has
been strained to the breaking point by
an automobile ride. Mr.. Farnum, who
returned from a long trip with The
Virginian company last May, prompt,
new automobile, in the purchase OF
which he was guided by inexperienced
advice Of Mr.. Post.
'fDusty so summer home is at Buck
port, Me-, and he made up his mlnd to
drive the motor car up there from New
York. instead of sending it up by boat.
Incidentally he thought he would save
money by conveying about a ton OF i
shining mark Of appreciation and
friendly feeling, he invited Mr.. Post
to travel with him as far as New Ha-
ven. They set out in It, the gray dawn o of
to New York barely in time to step on
the stage as Joe Lacy, when the cur.
tain at the Hudson theater rose the
following Monday evening. From all
appearances, he might have been first,
just escaped from the purgatory Of
some steamships fire room.
At the Lamb s club after the per-
Torrance, Mr.. Post graphically and bit
terly set forth his grievances against
his erstwhile friend and associate, Mr.:
Farnum.
"He made me work like a navy"
declared Mr.. Post. "We broke down
about nine times between here and New
Haven and we had to discharge and re-
load that Internal cargo Of camp equip
ment every time it happened. On the
grounds that had induced him to buy
the machine, and only partially taught
him how to run it, he made me make
all the repairs, and when as per agree
| ment, tried to leave the outfit at
New Haven, he said things about in
gratitude and the duties of loyal friend
ship that got on my nerves. That is
the reason that went as far as Boston
with him and worked my way, harder
than any. muleteer president ever
worked his passage, punching up the
motive power, Of Hudson canal boat:
And at last he reviled me, because I
insisted On going back to town and
would not go on as far as Concord. u
@Farnum returned to New York safe
ly, however. and Squared himself by
| taking Mr.. Post. who was just recuper-
| ating from severe surgical operation,
for long tour in the new :" aut0' de.
livering him safely at Boston, where
fsAThe Heir to the Hoorah' opened its
season. Mr.. Post will be seen in the
Paul Armstrong-La Shelle comedy: at

The Chandler Mixup.

How much there may be in the al
legged negotiations between the presi-
dent and the democratic senators to
pass a rate bill over the heads of the
republican majority will perhaps not be
known definitely, as both sides appear
to have shut up like the traditional
clam just when the disclosures were
becoming the most delightfully."- gos-
! sipy. With such frank takers as
Senator Tillman and President Roose-
welt at the two ends Of the wire, and
such clever marplot asy William E.
/ Chandler making connections at "cen-
trial." it woald not be surprising if
the said central claimed to have over.
| heard a good many things that neither
principal members had said. But this
is not important anyway to anybody
except Chandler, who delights in mis-
chief and who dislikes to have his
plots miscarry. Besides, it is possible
that Chandler hoped, by standing il
/ with the winning side, to get place
| upon the new interstate commerce com
4 mission. Inns nope muSI nave gone
/ glimmering when he got TO the poin
/ of giving the lie to the president.
The fact that has come out Of thu
personal controversy is that there ha!
been at all times majority in tn,
! senate favorable to the passage of ,
rate bill The president convinced him
self Of its existence early, but tn,
Aldrich crowd has been slow to beiev,
