Contractors are Offering to furnish
the government Chinese coolie labor
in Panama at the rate of nine cents
per hour In this is found food for
reflection for American toilers. 1t
suggests that when extensive trade
relations are established between
western nations and China, that the
balance of trade will be in favor of
China. No good can possibly acrue
to the toilers of Europe or America
from the tapping of the vast reser-
voir of cheap but efficient labor that
has been damned up in China for
ages.

lief from railroad extOrtiOn came
speedily to naught, regardless of the
agency employed. The railroads
struck down Van Wyck and Judge
Reese. Attorney General Leese de-
fed them for a brief period before
being crushed. Governor Boyd vetoed
the first Newberry bill and the SUI
preme court held up the second, after
which populist statesmen seemed for
getful of the peoples interest SO far
as railroad extortion was concerned.
1t was not until George w. Berge
became candidate for governor that
the railroad question made any gen.
uine Roadway in the politics of the
state. But Berge exposed the methods
of the railroads in poll les and the
weapons they used and branded them
as infamous. His scathing arraign-
ment found Judgement in the minds
of the multitude and his pointed shafts
pierced the armor of railroad politics
and drove railroad politicians to adopt
lying as profession, saying in public
that they "know not the man." whom
in private they acknowledge as
master.
The railroad question is paramount
in the politics of the state with each
party seeking to win the election
through promising relief from railroad
extortion The people will soon be
called upon to act as final judges of
the case presented.
From our point of view the fusion
lists present by far the strongest claims
for support, The ticket presented by
the republicans is decidedly weak in
all of its parts except the head.
George L. Sheldon, their candidate for
governor, enjoys good reputation,
is making coed speeches and we are
inclined to credit him with good faith
But on the ticket with him are men
with the railroad brand on them so
plainly that there is no room for
doubt as to who they will serve if
elected. Furthermore it is generally
understood and believed that while
the anti-railroad republicans were en-
gagged in securing delegates for Shell
don and Brown the railroads through
the connivance of protested friends
of these candidates secured the nomi-
nation of republican railroad tools on
the legislative tickets in sufficient
numbers to insure them control of
one or both branches of the legisla-
ture in case the republicans control
that body.
On the other hand the democratic |
platform is more explicit in regard to
the reforms demanded than is the re-
publican platform, and A. C. Shallen-
berger the fusion candidate for gov
ernor, helped to make the platform
and is pledged to carry it out to the
letter if elected and has the support |
of legislature that will cooperate
with him. Again every minor position
on the fusion ticket is filled by men
against whom the breath of suspicion
has never been breathed and who are
known of all men to be genuine refor-

Bryan's attitude in proclaiming that
men interested in corporations that
are seeking favors at the hands Of
the government should not officer a
political party stamps him as a true
statesman. In so doing he offends
many of the most powerful individuals
in his own party. This genuine act
of bravery and disinterestedness on
the part of Mr.. Bryan is sufficient to
endear him to the hearts of all true
Americans 1t is the most advanced
step yet taken by any public man OF
modern times.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
New Haven Fheater.

How Hearts Are Broken" a new and highly sensational drama, comes to the New Haven theater for three nights and Wednesday matinee at reg ular popular prices, Critics have spok- en of it as a stormy story of the soul, and a play that is life itself. The story is one of life among the fisher folks along the picturesque coast of Maine, and has for it's chief character Mona Fancher a young girl-the daughter of poor fisherman. Life is all sunshine to her, until a false lover appears on the scene, and she, not knowing about the outside world, lis tens to the false. picture that he paints in glowing colors of the great city be- yond. She readily consents to his pro posal to a secret marriage and their happiness is not for long, as he soon tires of his young bride, and later de- serts her. A child is the result of this union, and the father, in order, to rid himself of both, hires accomplces to steal the child, and accuse the mother With its murder. Many stirring scenes are enacted before the triumphant end ing is reached, but the entire story throughout is one of great interest.

"DAYID HARUM. :"
POPULAR RURAL PLAY DE-
 LIGHTS LARGE AUDIENCE

At New Haven Theater--The Swapping
 of the Horses, the Realistic Rain
 Scene and the Dinner in the Last Act
 Warmly Applaudcd,
 David Harum,'' which opened the week end engagement at the New Ha- ven theater last night, is play that re- quires no introduction to a New Haven audience, or in fact to any audience anywhere. Itis one of those and whole some dramas that every one can enjoy. i It is drama where father, mother, sis- 1 ter and brother can sit and enjoy the different characters and scenes as they are depicted throughout the progress of the play. In short, it is play that elevates the people, and appeals to the 1 better part of every man and woman, Few, indeed, can visit the theater, and | see David Harum without coming away the better for having seen it. The large crowd that witnessed the production last night were very much interested with the play. They hugely enjoyed the snappy horse scene between David and the deacon, and the deacon later on trying in vain to get the mareto go in the midst of downpour of rain, while | they felt so big in their hearts when the mortgage was declared wiped off that the majority present fairly wept 1 with joy. The dinner scene in the last act is also a great featureof the play.
 Harry Brown certainly plays the ! character of David to perfection, and heis ably supported by splendid cast which includes many well-known play CTS. One might keep on writing good things about the drama all night, and then fall short of having done 1t ample justice. Our advice is ''go and see for yourself" A true story of the truly re- alistic qualities of the play is told as follows;
 As nearly every one knows, the horse trade so capitally described in the book Is made the featureof the opening act of the play During the trade an old gentleman leaned on the rail of the box with one hand behind his ear, so that he might not miss a word. When the bay horse that hadn't scratch or a pimple on him, was sound and kand, a lady could drive him as we'll as man, nd he would stand without hitchin' was brought out, his enjoyment of the scene was intense. Finally, when Hi ram parted with the horse to the deacon for $2O0 he uttered loud laugh. En- tirely oblivious of his surroundings he gave his knees a resounding slap, and turning to his wife exclaimed in a voice that was audible in the gallery: ''By jinks, I've done the same thing, myself"
 It will be presented again tonight, Saturday matinee and Saturday even- ing. The advance sale of seats is very large. Popular prices are in vogue for all the performances.

SOCCER FOOTBALL
TALE WILL PIAK HER FIRST
 GAME WITH SPRINGFIELD

At Yale Field TO-morrOw--COntest is
 Creating Quite Lively Interest and
 Big Crowd Is Expected--Some Inter-
 estinE Items Regarding the Game
 and Crowds Who Witness It.
 Association or soccer football, as it has been termed in this country, will receive it's debut as college sport in New Haven tomorrow afternoon, when the newly organized Yale eleven will play It's first game here with the Springfield Training school team The game had it's origin in Scotland and for many years the Scottish teams were simply invincible. In fact it was not until professionalism entered the ranks of the association players that England ever had a look-in during her annual contests between the two nations. This was during the palmy days of the fla nous Queens Park, the Glasgow Ran gers, Third L. R. V. and other we'll known teams which made name and fame for their clubs as opponents of the game.
 The game is football pure and simple There is nothing but Kicking allowed It is full of scientific plays and there is plenty of excitement during It's prog ress to keep the spectators on the anx- ious seat It is estimated that from 5O00O to 100000 people pay admission to the various league and other games in the city of Glasgow every Saturday. and the record for paid admissions to the international game played annu- ally between England and Scotland is 10000.
 A game, then, that can draw such crowds must have something of an in- terestlng nature about 1t, and doubt less a big crowd will go to Yale field to witness the contest with Springfield to- morrow.

DR. w. J. MAYO.

Famous Surgeon Meets Medical Men
 and Afterwards Rendered "a Recep-
 tion at Home of Dr. Carmalt.
 Dr. William J. Mayo, the dis tinguished American surgeon, met with a large number of the medical men at the Yale medical school last night. The eminent surgeon did not deliver an address, but he spoke at some length, in the course of a general con- versation. on the Diseases of the Bil- iary Passages"
 Dr. Mayo is cited as the only great example of the country doctor who has achieved worldwide reputation. He was recently elected president of the American Medical association, an organization which stands in the high est rank of scientific societies. As a surgeon he has attained his greatest fame in the treatment of diseases of the gall bladder and billlary passages. In the hundreds of operations which he has performed in these cases, his percentage of fatality has been about half the average.
 Dr. Mayo's talk was interesting to his hearers and a great deal of prac- tical information was brought out dur ing the discussion. Later in the even- ing an informal and delightful recep- ton for Dr. Mayo was given at the residence of Dr. Carmalt, when be- tween seventy-fve and one hundred people were present.
 Dr. Mayo leaves this morning for Hartford.

The NicoIet.

The Japanese haven't arrived at the Nicolet stage of civilization as yet, but they have the moving pictures and per haps a continuous performance at a yenlet, because they lack a nickle coin for the price of admission. The little brown folks are just at present very much exercised about the ban put upon the Japanese children in the San Francisco schools. Some contemplating film maker sent out to Jap-land q nov ing picture of the mayor of the City of the Golden Gate. but the authorities have forbidden its exhibition because they do not want to stir up any bad feeling against Uncle Sam. The Mikado certainly would not object to to-day's new bill at the Nicolet with this ex- cellent selection of moving pictures: A Day in the Country; The Alps Through 8 Telescope, and The Tunnel Worker.

HYPNOTISM AND "THE CLANS.
 MAN"

There has been widespread newspa- per discussion of whence Thomas Dix on, jr., got his idea in the third act of "The Clansman," or eXtorting a comics sion from negro by the spell of hyp notics. A New York critic made the unwarranted statement that this fam ous scene was a copy of the confession of Matthias in Sir Henry Irving's 'Th Bells MT. Dixon replied that he was not familiar with the scene in question but that the circumstances of the Ga brielle Bompard murder case a few years ago suggested the scene to him. Since this statement several persons have come forward with stories from real life of the use of hypnotism in ex- torting confessions, In France the eX- ercise of hypnotic influence is a recog- nized feature of legal add medical pro- ceedlngs. In America the incident in "The jClansman" Is paralleled in won- derful manner by the method used by Wilbur M. Bates a few years ago in obtaining a confession from one of the negroes who murdered Dr. Higbe IIill at Millington, Md. MT, Bates, now general press representative for Klaw & Erlanger was a reporter on Phil adelphia paper at the time.

 Laugh it off. Are you cheated of your right?
 Laugh it off. Don't make tragedy of trifes Don't shoot butterflies with rifles
 Laugh it off. Does your work get into kinks?
 Laugh it off. Are you near all sorts of brinks?
 Laugh it off. If it's sanity you're after. There's no recipe like laughter
