Mayor, Rose Fooled Again.

~: '. - . . ~ . O.
Edmund Burke was wont to say that
an indictment could not be drawn
against whole nation, but the supreme
court Of Kansas has found an entire
community in contempt. One Rose, who
would apparently have smelled as sweet
by some other name, was mayor Of Kan
sas City, Kan. He was a liberal''
mayor, one who had no narrow minded
notion Of enforcing the laws. His was
a business administration, y and as q
consequence, altho Kansas has pro-
hibition law, Kansas City, Kan, was
full Of joints where liquor was dis
pensed. The ministers appealed to the
mayor to enforce the law and met with,
a blank refusal. Then they appealed
to the law which is supposed to gov
ern mayors, and secured a writ ousting
Rose from the office. This was con-
frmed by the supreme court on appeal.
True to the political instinct, Rose
appealed to the people for Hvindica-
ton. = Between two motions in the
supreme court before final Judgment
had been given, he resigned the office
from which he would be ousted and be-
came a candidate at the special cleo
tion held to I'LL the vacancy, He was
s triumphantly reelected, But the
supreme court has again interviewed and
declared that he cannot take the office;
that he was in contempt in becoming
a candidate for the portion Of the term
from which he had been ousted. The
court holds also that constructively
all the people who voted for him are
in contempt, tho it is not likely they

Still Running Roosevelt.

Some people persist in disbelieving
that President Roosevelt g positive and
reiterated statement will prevent his
running again for the presidency. ~
The talk which is going on is very
f1attering testimonial to the strength
Of the president with the country, but
it is not fair to him. Such statement
as the president made on the night Of
the last presidential election has the
force Of a self-denying ordinance. The
president could not 20 back on it with
out suffering what would be more bit
ter to Mr.. Roosevelt than political
reverse or the utter failure Of one Of
his policies-a decline of confidence in
him on the part Of his countrymen.
The president is q young man. There
is possibility Of his being asked to
stand for president eight, twelve or
even sixteen years hence. When the
presidential election Of 1924 is held,
Mr.. Roosevelt, if living will be only
about 65 years old, which is younger
than good many men have come to
the presidency for the first time. So
there is considerable political future in
Roosevelt, which is not bound up in
the election Of 1908. What is bound
up in that election so far as he is CON
cerned, is his deliberate construction of
the precedent Of Washington as applied
to himself and his declared adherence
I to it.
Another consideration is that raised
by Secretary Shaw, that the president
has made it impossible for any other
republican to be elected. There are
two sides to this question. Il the party
is heartily in accord with the president
on the main points Of his policy, then
the president has made it immensely
easier to elect any republican president.

When Blackburn appeared at con-

THE COLLEGE WIDOW.

If George Ade never wrote another play than "The College Widow" the fame of that exquisite and far-famed satire on college life will bring him a firm position in the history of the stage. The theme of this comedy, which comes to the Hyperion on Friday and satur~ day nights, with Saturday matinee, is the rivalry between two inland col leges, Bingham and Atwater, which finds it's most potent vent in the annual football game on Thanksgiving day. Bingham has provided Billy Bolton, a famous halfback, with a scholarship for the purpose of getting him on her team, but through the machinations of 'sThe College Widow" at Atwater, Bol- ton is persuaded to remain there, and wins the all-important game, as well as the widows" hand,
 "The College Widow" is the sort Of comedy that does not need an atlas to follow. Its humor Is straight from the shoulder, and in the best vein of its accomplished author It Is the one great American comedy of the decade and Henry W. Savage has given to it a thoroughly strong and we'll balanced cast and scenic equipment of unusual attractiveness.

THE NEW HAVEN THEATER.

Ninety and Nine" Plays to Crowded House-The Great Engine Scene in Third Act a Marvel of Stage Real ism.
 Few of the present day melodramas have taken such tenacious hold on the hearts of the people as has Ram say Morris rural masterpiece "The Ninety and Nine" The drama has been seen here on two previous occasions, but despite this fact the New Haven theater last night was crowded to wit ness the production. To say that the audience was delighted would be put ting 1t mildly. They followed closely and earnestly the story of the play from the time it opens in Abner Rlakes living apartments in the first act until it reaches happy climax in the same Abner Blake's garden in the last act. At times they are moved to tears by the pathetic pleadlngs of Ruth Blake Miss Bayone Whipple) with Tom Sil- verton to renounce his downward ca reer, and reform.
 Miss Whlpple is a charming girl and comes honestly by her ability, for she is of family of talented actors and has been before the ootlights since she was child of tender years. Her Ruth Blake, In the Ramsay A. Morris drama, received much praise rom the critics of the metropolis, and is we'll deserved.
 The singing of Ira D. Sankey's fam ous hymn Ninety and Nine" from which the story is written. was well rendered and warmly applauded Mas ter Pincus in his original character, Burton's Red, kept the audience happy as he splendidly typlfied the character which he represents He is an unchin of the coagested East Side tenement district of New York, and he is a seven day wonder in the sleepy old Indiana village His love of New York and his frequent declarations, that Tits de only place on fe map" furnishes a portion of the comedy of the play. The rest of the cast Is on par with the stars.
 The engine scene in the third act airly raised the enthusiasm of the au- dience. They realized in 1t a master stroke of stage realism and showed their appreciation of the artists abili- ty by renewed curtain calls. There is a sermon in each of the four acts that is sent home with telling effect. There is nothing obnoxious or very sensation al, yet it is full of thrilling parts and is drama suited for saint and sinner alike, It will be repeated again to- night, Wednesday matinee and even ing and the large advance sale of seats insures a crowded house at each per- formance.

THE MAN OF HER CHOICE.

How great sacrifice should a wom- an make for the man she loves? The above question has been agitating the civilized world for centuries. Should a girl renounce her parents for the man of her choice? Should she give up re- ligion for the man of her choice? Should life itself be made sacrifice at loves altar? And, lastly, should a woman yield even her honor for the fan of her choice? On the theory that mo sacri- flee. is too great" for a woman to make for 'the man of her choice" Edwarl H. Simmonds has constructed a modern melodrama that has created a dramatic sensation. Pounded on that beautiful
