UNDER THE LAURELS"
DELIGHTED AUDIENCE.

One OF the finest dramatic efforts
given in Milford in many years was
that Of "Under the Laurels.1 a which
was played on Wednesday evening at
Armory Hall, by u company OF local
amateur artists, in the interest Of the
piano fund Of the ChapelSundaySchool.
For several weeks those forming the
caste Of characters had been coached
by Clinton A. Prettyman, who some
years ago took the leading role in the
spy Of Gettysburg" and also in the
play "Under Two Flags" His under
standing Of the modern drama and his
natural ability as an actor proved Of
great benefit to the young thespians in
their production.
Miss Sara Banning, in the role of
Miss Rose Milford, scored a decided hit
and proved beyond question that she
has a natural talent for the stage, In
her emotional scenes she seemed to be
able to control her feelings at will and
acted every part with the grace and
precision Of the professional artist.
Clinton A. Prettyman, in the role Of
Frank COlewOed, gave evidence that
his ability as an actor, which was es-
tablished some years ago in the plays
formerly mentioned, is not waning but
is rather more brilliant than before.
The leading character, Kyle Brant-
ford, was taken by Augustus Dickerson.
Il was his first appearance before pub
ic audience, and his rendition brought
him deserved appreciation. His lines
we're probably the most difficult to
nemOrize Of any in the entire play.
Miss Mary Banning, in Poly Dowler,
eemed perfectly at home in her part
nd made a strong addition to the pro-
uctiOn.
Charles Maag, as Bob Button, the
arm hand and an assistant Of Kyle
was we'll adapted for the
art assigned and took the same with
ise and comfort.
John Mayhem, as Ike Hopper, the
rishman, was well greeted by the
ldience and acted as if he were an old
and at the work.
Mrs. Charles Mag, as Mrs. Milford.
quilted herself with credit, while
airy Pettyjohn, who took the negro
aracter OF Zeke, commanded some
nsiderable applause.
Miss Laura Murphy, as SoOkey But
D, played the role to the satisfaction
all, as did William Murphy, as the
eritt Of Cliffville County.
The entire production was a most
effort on the part Of the
tire caste.
Miss Florence Hammond gave a very
lutiful violin solo which was highly
eived, as was the violin and piano
ct by the Misses Hammond. Miss
lie Evans acted as pianist for the
ming. Cathral Smith rendered two
y pretty vocal solos, which were
eted with applause.
mere was large audience present
witness the performance, and there
) much enthusiasm manifested from
initial scene IN the first act until
last scene in the concluding act.
total receipts were about $500, and
effort netted about $3.50.
Under the Laurels" wish to express
T gratitude to the members Of Fire
l's Band and also to the people Of
ford and vicinity for their liberal
Onage and interest manifested on

Wages of Labor.
In general. Professor Commons
finds common labor better paid By
municipalities in America than by
private companies. lie says.
In the United states The minimum
paid for common labor by the uri-
vatc companies is, in an cases except
Atlanta. lower than that OF the mu-
|nicipality, and the minimum paid for
common labor by municipal under
takings is higher han hat of private
companies of the same locality.
I'm none Of the American enter
prises investigated were the common
aborers organized. In tine municipal
undertakings they are paid higher
wages and given shorter hours than
in the case Of private employees OF the
same locality. They are also in all
cases citizens of tho United states
and residents Of the locality. The
common labor Of the private COM
panies, except in indianapolis and the
southern cities where they are coll
ored, is composed largely OF immi-
grants and no attention is paid as to
whether they have secured citizenship
papers OF not.
In the matter of wages and hours
the principal effect Of municipal
ownership is seen in Tho uuskillcd and

He held that inasmuch as the CAPT

# The Grand Forks Herald seems to
admit that taxation ait true value is
/ not practicable at the present time,
and until the legislature paves the
4 way. The Tribune has taken this
position since this matter first came
to be discussed, and has pointed out
the details in which the law will
have to be changed to make true
value assessment practicable. Yet,
Notwithstanding the fact that public
men have generally admitted now
that assessment at real value was
not practical, it has been a stock
campaign argument of the demo-
Gratis and others opposed to past re-
publican administrations in the state
that the state board of equalization
should assess railroads at their true
value, no matter what was done by
the assessors with other property.
The action on this matter by the
state board, after a thorough In
vestigation both by law and justice
of the matter and of the real value
g. railroad property, ought to ex-
plode forever the argument that be-
cause railroads were assessed on a
basis. not the same as other proper
fy. but considerably above it, the
state board of equalization was un-
duly fayoring these corporate in
terests. AS matter of fact, the
law of the land, as laid down by
the federal court, is that any as
sessment that places one class of
property on a different basis Of val
uation than another, is void and
will not stand, and the higher prop
5erty is entitled to be reduced. The
stale board of equalization must
real value, or assess the railroads
son a bbasis nearly the same as other
property, to make fair and legal
assessment. This fact has been TN
tderstood by members o. the state
board in the past and by others who
have taken pains to inform them
selves. But a good many persons,
either deliberately or ignorantly,
have made haste to criticise these
assessments, their criticisms being
neither founded In law nor Justice.
The action of the present state
board, it seems, has vindicated the
policy Of republican administrations
in the past. and should put an end
to empty rantings for purely cam
paign purposes.
