a farce, except from the view point
of publicity.
There are many things in the ac-
curate report Of The Statesman yes
terday which, for reasons best known
to themselves the other papers have
carefully refrained from publishing.
The Statesman has fought its fight.
Councilmen Bridges and Glasfori
have done their duty. The public
knows now that Encouragement and
even worse characterised the conduct
of affairs on the pipeline. At the
least $679.60 has been saved to the

There is much more that has not
been given out. Two men, who were
not called upon to explain matters,
have sufficient knowledge to make up
a new and more sensational case, if
they choose to talk. They were not
called before the committee. Their
names are Fred Martin and John
Hodges, supervisor and foreman.

It complained that If the policy hold

that end.

And she went meekly and mildly.
That is all there is to the play. Miss
Jeffreys played the part Of Mrs. Brooke
just as she was, silly, affected, teller
Of falsehoods and possessing a slight
desire to be unfaithful to her husband
There is nothing admirable about the
character. To Miss 1effreys' credit IL
must be set down that she played the
part admirably. She really acted per-

1.-THE EDUCATION OF Mr.. PIPP."

Digby Bell who is not seen in Walla
as often as local theater goers would
like. will be at the Keylor Grand next
Thursday, Oct. Is, in "The Education
Of Mr. Popp" This is the play which
Augustus Thomas made from familiar
humorous drawings by Charles Dana
Gibson and it is said to be one of mis-
best and most diverting comedies. In
deed, it must be for this is its third
season, and in no other place is the
theory of the survival of the fittest
better exemplified than on the stage.
1t ran for 200 nights in New York last
year and its success On the road last
season was of a like popular nature.
The eastern critics say that Bell has
never found SO congenial a part; one
in which he was as amusing and as
natural. His makeup, as his photo
graph shows, is masterpiece, and ne
is said to be Mr.. Pipp as much in
manner and action as in appearance.

In a Nesc Pzay
"The Dear Unfair Sex" Nor
Strong - The Star

rFrem Our New York Dramatic Corr,
spondentl
That a capable company can fail ali.
solutely to entertain in a faulty drama,
has often been proved. The latest In
stance is seen at the Liberty theater
where Ellis Jeffreys, the talented Enc.
nsh Coincidence, appears in "The Dear
Unfair Sex"
Miss Jeffreys has not made yerv
happy choice Of play for her com.
ing starring tour in the United States
THE Dear Unfair Sex" is amusing in
places; there are one or two situations
in it that call for genuine, hearty laugh
ter, but the characters In it are NOT
such as theater goers like. THE Dear
Unfair Sex" is comedy in three acts.
1t was written by Inglis Allen. One
pleasant feature about the play, espe-
cially to be commended on a warm
night, Is it's briefness. The curtain
went up at $40 and dropped finally at
1925.
The story Of the play can be told
briefly. Haviland Brooke has been
married for six months and is foolish.
ly-one is tempted to say idiotically-
devoted to his young wife. He never
leaves the silly womans side, pushes
cushions behind her back when she
sits, begs to know II the light Of the
open windows is satisfactory and gen.
orally makes a nuisance Of himself.
She throws herself into Mysteries at a
word from him and induces her father
and her husbands sister to make long
trips to the Brooke London home BY
writing letters saying she Is I'll and
that Brooke had left her. Nothing that
she stated in the letters was true, and
she had really forgotten what she had
written by the time the relatives ar
rive.
She meets young man, friend of
herself and her husband, who is en-
gagged to a young girl whom be loves
devotedly. Mrs. Brooke believes the
young man, Jim Melville, loves her
and engages himself to the girl to
safeguard" himself. She goes to his
room late at night, and the honorable
man sends his servant for her hus.
band. He arrives, but does not see
his wife. He leaves almost immediate
", and Mrs. Brooke follows In a few
minutes.
Brooke and his wife have a stormy
interview. in which the man is CON-

MIR. BRYAN CONsULTS VOTERS.

Heretofore the men who aspired to
national leadership have been obliged
to bring behind them home strength
to justify their acceptance in the nigh
er walks of politics. James G. Blaine
would never have been the leader he
was If he had not had large portion
of New England and the great state
Of Pennsylvania perpetually behind
him. Lincoln could not have been
president, no matter how eloquent his
speeches, without Illinois. Favor1te
sons have always known that political
growth, like charity, begins at nome.
The most notable exception to the rule
the country has known has been Will
liam J. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan entered ma
tional politics as a contesting delegate
to a national convention. He was seat
ed and nominated by the same conven-
ton and carried his own state of Ne
braska But in 1900 he lost Nebraska
and all the surrounding silver states.
He has not mad them with him since.
The news from these two states is that
Mr.. Bryan is making them a test Of
his home standing this year. He is
touring Nebraska in the interest of the
fusion ticket, which includes a pOpu-
list for governor and a democrat for
senator. He is making his speech on
railroads and anti-monopoly, thereby
seeking to justify the issue he raised
in his Madison Square Garden speech.
Mr.. Bryan is on the right tack when
he Attempts to learn now his ideas take
among the voters close at nome. If
there is anything in Mr.. Bryan's peer
less leadership it should suffice to draw
his own state out of the republican
column. Z

YOU couldn't exactly call that meet
ing of the committee Of the whole
whitewash industry. The water COM
mittee practically admitted ltsen re-
sponsible for the time system, the
construction company declared there
were no payrolls and that the FORE
mems original books were missing,
admitting also there were no vouch-
ers. The action of the council In act
ing upon what was left was merely
making the best Of bad mess OF
rotten mortar.
