Richard earle presented himself and
his company in 1.-THE Mayor of Toxic" at
the Metropolitan last night. OF the play
there is little to be said 1t brings moth
ing new in the line of comic opera, and
the story Is the old one of the angle
eyed japanese maiden who would wed
the strolling player millionaire, and the
troubles besettng them thru the mach
nations of the inevitable prime minister.
The scene is laid in Toxic and the local
color is lent thruout by the waving Of
garlands of artificial wisteria and the
pigeonrtoed running about the stage of
the chorus women and soubrettes.
The music is bright in spots, and the
more familiar airs had preceded the play
ers to Minneapolis earle still uses his
peculiar powers Of voice. length and man.
nerism to entertain, and is as successful
as ever. His lines vary from florid humor
to a more subtle variety, and he man
ages to keep his audience in an uproar
most of the time that he is on the. stage.
The progressive element of the story is
so lacking as to allow earle free play in
his methods Of entertaining, and as the
player he makes the most of all, the bust
ness he has given himself in the role of
playmaker. His antics, his voice play
and his talkative legs all combine to make
earle the jester -"

John S. Williams Def.

John Sharp Williams throws down
the gauntlet to the republican party in
this wise: "--, ~ - =
eff You don t revise the tariff, we
will. If you done admit Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory as one state,
we will If you don It pass just and
reasonable rate bill, we twil.''' "A
Mr.. Williams means that If the re-
publican party does not do these things
the people will send up democratic
house pledged to get them done. Mr..
Williams threat is, of course, partly
buncombe, because the democratic party
could not accomplish anything without
the senate, and the senate could not be
turned over to the democracy inside
of six years. Yet he is undoubtedly in
line with the sentiment Of the country
when he intimates that these are things
which the people have on their minds to
be done and that they will be extremely
disgusted with party having both
branches of the congress and the presi-
dent. which fails to- put them in the
way Of completion. The republican
party has lost the house in the inter-
presidential campaign before this, be-.
cause of its failures to effectuate the
legislation desired by the people.
It is not out Of the realm of proba-
bllity that it will happen again.
The practical way to avoid the sensa-
tlon at the coming campaign is to- do
something. The senate has dallied with
the rate bill long enough. The people
now understand that it has been de-
bated as long as debate adds ANYTHING
to the stock Of knowledge on the sub
ject. Further talk merely leads to irri.
tation, especially talk upon technical
questions. The people do not expect
the senate to be a whole congress and a
supreme court rolled in one. Neither
90 they look kindly upon the action of
the senate in smothering in committee
fiscal measures which have been passed
by the house by the vote of both par.
ties. This has been done with the
Philippine tariff bill and is threatened
with the free alcohol bill. The holding
up of the latter measure by Senator
Aldrich is such plain sinking of
the interests Of the :. people be-
fore the greed Of the Standard Oil
company that if the republican senate
permits him to have his way not only
is there reason to fear that the house
will be lost this fall, but serious i'll
roads may be made upon the senate
next winter. @

Minnesota Politics
Election In st. Paul Tends to Show that
the German Vote "stlcka Mlt"-aossip
Of Candidates In the Hands of Their
Friends.

One feature of the st. Paul city cleo
ton was the strong run made by the
German candidates on both tickets. Otto
Bremen led the democratic ticket, and
Judge Finehout the republican.
The democrats elected the other NUM-
cipal judge, and he is also of German
antecedents. This circumstance is being
used to prove that the German vote is
more solid factor than usually supposed,
and that good politics will cater to it by
the nomination of men with German birth
or parentage. In St. Paul it is being
turned to the interests of Julius Block
by the friends of his candidacy for gov
ernor.
The Royalton Banner wants Morrison
county to send a Cole delegation to the
state convention, partly because he was
formerly Morrison county man, and
partly because he stands for progressive
policies that will benefit that section.
The latest state ticket has been
sprung in North Minneapolis by some of
the Block workers. It names Julius
Block for governor and John G. Lund for
lieutenant governor. They figure that
this will be a good card for Block, to
include his name with that Of local
man for second place. 1t is evidently
done without the land man S knowledge
or consent. He and Block are not on
| friendly terms, and if Lund wanted the
| nomination Block would be the last man
he would tie up with.
The Window Reporter thinks Somer-
vile the strongest man the republicans
can nominate, and would give Johnson
| the best run. However, the Reporter
has come out for Johnson and still thinks
! Somerville ought to run for lieutenant
governor. 3

VOL. XII. OF "THE HISTORY OF
NORTH AMERICA" has been out for.
some time, and is in keeping with the
other volumes 7of thesshistory. The vol
ume specifically deals with the growth
Of the nation,, tcovefing the period from
1909 to 1897 Or .frofn the beginning of
Madison's administration to that of Van
Buren,, and is the work of Richard Taylor
Stevenson, Ph.D., professor Of history in
Ohio wesleyan uniVersitss and an author
already known thru several works. IT, !;
The period covered by: the volume in
hand lis one of II con Siderable fascination:
1t includes the waE Of 1872, the Missouri
compromise, the. Monroe doctrine, the rise
of the abolition movement, and among its
picturesque characters stands Andrew
Jackson. Such material as this DR.. Stew
enson has used effectively, yet with the
single purpose of being impartial. He
himself tells best the comparative impor-.
lance he has attached to different events
and persons in the following from his
preface: ID H.. r-.
More space has been allowed to the war OF
1912 and to the eight years of Jackson's adj
ministration than to the other seventeen years p;
more to the immensely significant westward
movement than to the political revolution III
New England; more to the effect Of American
genius in invention than to the Immediate
achievements Of the new 28literature more to
the character of theS American people imam "
til annals of successive congresses; more to the
influence Of the American idea of church as
separate from state than to the desire Tor
amusements; more to the rise of aDol1tlon1sm
than to the tendencies in art; more to the
missouri compromise than to the Panama conf
gress; more to the notification controversy than
to the scandals of the Kitchen cabinet; more
to the character Of Andrew Jackson, even to the
extent Of giving a separate chapter of his early
life. than to the lives Of Madison. Monroe and
Adams included; more, finally, to the irresistible
growth Of the people into power than to the
fears of the aristocracy concerned to retain
common man and the recognition Of his Ideals.

New York, Nav 4.-The net earnings
of the United States Steel corporation
in the month of April, based on data
already received, were in the neighbor
hood Of $13,O0O,O00, or at the rate of
$4,000 day. Earnings for April
were below those of March,. which is
quite natural as March broke all
monthly records from the standpoint Of
production and deliveries and was a
long month. The earnings in May are
expected to be near the earnings of
March.
The strike on the Great Lakes, if
prolonged, may cause some shrinkage in
the net income of the corporation. altho
it will not be as effective dis it would
have been several years ago, when
shipments of iron ore helped to swell
the earnings Of the company.
