HAS NEW TICKET SCHEME
ROOSEVELT CLUB CATERS TO
PUBLIC WITH CONVENIENCE
AS WELL AS WITH ExoEL.ENT
ENTERTAINMENT.

There is one thing to be said IN favor
of the Roosevelt club players-they are
always on the lookout for something
better. This has been shown by the
progress from purely amateur. mia
strel performance to q high-class musi-
cal production that ranks well up with
any Of the professional offerings.
AS the 1905 show is to be the very
best that the club has eveF given, SO
also is the ticket scheme which was
decided upon at the last meeting Of the
directors. 1t is combination Of the
exchange ticket plan Of two seasons
past and the auction sale Of last year,
and the committee believes that it will
meet with the hearty approval of the
public. Briefly the plan is as follows:
Exchange tickets will be- sold as
heretofore, but each ticket will have a
coupon attached which may be. filed
out as an authorization by the purchas-
er to secure a seat for him at not to
exceed a certain premium, for any spe-.
cited performance. The auction sale
on April 2, from 1890 to pm. The
purchaser Of the exchange ticket will
pay for it on receipt of the ticket, but
will pay no premium until he receives
the regular theater ticket.
Under this plan it will be possible
for purchaser to do his own bidding
at the auction or he can fill in the cou
pom and have it bid in by a proxy if
lie has not the time or inclination to
give to it himself. Those who do not
care to avail themselves of the auction
feature can exchange their tickets for
reserved seats without extra charge at

Rehearsals are going steadily on at
the rate Of three week, with extra re-
hearsafs for different choruses almost
daily. Costumes are nearing compile

costly scale than the club has ever be-
fore attempted, and the lavishness Of

Political Unfairness.

Hennepin county cast one-seventh Of
the republican votes of the state in
1904, but the best Hennepin can hope
for in the way of representation in the
next convention is 80 delegates out Of
1889, or about one-eleventh of the total
That is because Of the unjust allowance
Of FIVE delegates at large, which gives.
the smaller counties 400 delegates to
which they are not entitled by votes
cast.
An absurd fear, Of the cities dominat-,
ing the convention is responsible for
this injustice. When has Hennepin
county ever been given its due share. Of
influence in state politics, except at the
polls9 Politicians outside are fond Of
talking about the disloyalty Of Henne-
pin, but it is their cavalier treatment Of
Hennepin that is most to blame for the
independent spirit Of Minneapolis vot-
ers., There is no use Disgusting the
fact that Hennepin is habitually disre-
garded in the counsels Of the party, to
such an extent that Hennepin repubi-
cans have largely lost interest in state
matters. Minneapolis is not an isolated
community, but the commercial and
financial heart Of Minnesota: in touch
with every section in business way,
but not politically. Isn't it about
time for the powers that be to cultivate
Hennepin littlee There should be
give and take on both sides, Of course,
and some of our Minneapolis politicians
will have to share the blame for the
present condition. AS rule, however,
the republicans Of Hennepin county are
a pretty good sort Of fellows, and they
are ready to meet the others half way.
AL they ask is fair treatment, and they
are entitled to nothing else. e.: 80 !:

ADJUSTMENTS
MetropoIItan--"sabss In Toyl.n,

etropoltan-"Babes In 1oyland."
For retaining all the brilliancy and
completeness Of the original production
in face OF. the almost invariable custom
Of managers to ruin pieces by wholesale
economy after the second or third sea-
son, the management OF Babes In Toy
land" deserves hearty commentator, and
extravaganza SO pleasing to the large au-
dience at the Metropolitan last night
merited the abundant praise they won.
Compared with other musical plays, the
survival Of Babes in Toyland" is Won
derful, but success is assured when beau
tiful scenery is not sacrificed in a mad
desire to naulct dollars from the theater
going public; when principals whose ex-
cellent work has made q piece famous
are not allowed to 90 because they de-
mand the increase in salaries their ef-
forts have earned; when an attempt is
not made to- depend upon the reputation
of the play and try to swing 1t with a
half chorus when forty singers are needed
| to do it justice; when lust for money is
not allowed to pale efforts to please.
Babes in Toyland' is successful and de-
serves to beN, Z.
Many, of the proficient players, upon
whom the master scenic and costume de-
signers,--the- clever composers Of music
and verse and the painstaking stagers OF
Babes in Toyland" relied to make 1t the
great success it has been, are still in the
cast, and long practice has increased
their ability to please, Ignacio Martin

The Labor Situation.

The labor situation, altho still uncer-

ter within the past few days, and it is
probable that the developments: due

SO disturbing to general business as has
been feared. In the anthracite district
in Pennsylvania, where interest is CEN
tered, and where labor trouble means
SO much, there is more conciliatory
tone. The conservative press of Penn
sylvania Is advising the miners to pro-
coed slowly, and, passing over for the
moment the question Of right and wrong
and Of adequate or inadequate compen-
sation, is looking at the situation prac-
tically and pointing out to the men that
the operators have some things in, their
favor at this time that would make it
more difficult for the men to win.

by the old veterans Of the early CO.'S.

At convention Of the officers of the
Maryland National Guard, Colonel 3.
p. Britton delivered an address on
The Moral and Patriotic Aspects Of

Without it we must deteriorate morally
