az business so far as the work of the
two houses is concerned must then
cease. A few days ago some of the
prominent legislators became STAN
peded because of existing compiled
tons over a number Of the more i'm
p0rtant measures and feared that act
ually necessary legislation could not
be taken care Of so as to permit of
adjournment tomorrow, the time
agreed upon by the two houses They
were prone to advocate extending the
session another week.
Governor Warner, the presiding of
ficers Of the two houses and other
leaders strenuously opposed the idea
and insisted that the work must be
taken care of by the time fixed. Then
everyone got buster than before and
all hands Joined in a mighty effort to
clear the decks.
Foolish System in Vogue.
For the past few days the effort of
each legislator has been to have the
particular bills in which he is inter-
ested pushed through. And here again
the foolish system in vogue in Michi-
gan of having the legislature do all
the legislating for each and every mu-
nicipality in the state rose up to pre-
vent attention being given to the more
important matters of general legisla-
ton of interest and concern to all the
people of the state. Every legislator
who had charge Of q bill affecting his
particular locality naturally felt that,
in order to sustain his reputation at
home, he must have that bill passed.
When you have majority Of the
members of each house engaged in a
personal effort Of this kind. 1t will be
readily understood that general legis-
lation is apt to be neglected.
1t is to be devoutly wished that the
forthcoming convention which will
draft a general revision Of the consti-
tuition will make provision for leaving
purely local legislation to the respect
i've localities, thus materially shorten
ing the sessions CT the Legislature and
lessening the expense thereof.
Advantage Of the Plan.
This plan will not only give the leg
islators more time to devote to mat
tiers of general state interest, which are
all they ought to consider, but ii will
also insure far better consideration of
local legislation. The latter will then
be considered thoroughly by the people
whom II directly affects, whereas un-
der the present system II receives
practically no consideration whatever.
Legislation which affects only the city
of Lansing, for instance, receives no
consideration from the 131 legislators
from other parts Of the state.
1t lumbers up the calendars, entails
heavy expense for printing, is mulled
over by the committees, consumes
time in making and reading reports
and calling the roll On final passage OF
the bills, but when II comes to genuine
consideration by the legislature, II re-
ceives none, for the other 131 legis-
lators take the word of the one mem
Der from Lansing. II he says his peo-
pie want the bill, and he usually does,
they all vote for II. The record will
scarcely disclose may vote on local
bill which Is vouched for by the men,
Der having It in charge.

ferring to Mr.. Brighams lecture on
''The Apache Warpath" said of him:
"Mr. Brigham has voice as full of
music as pipe organ. and this helps
to make the evening all too short. He
sings, too. Not as some lecturers
sing-to display their weakness-but
in beautiful tenor that many con.
certers would be proud to possess.

sparkle that is refreshing. He is de

Staff association, which will be held at

There are fifty members of the associa-
ton, which comprises some of the fore
most business men in the state, going
back to the days of Governor Charles
Be Andrews. Speaking of Governor
Andrews recalls the fact that one Of
his staff, Charles L. Dean, is now a
member of the Massachusetts senate.
Senator Dean belongs in eastern Con-

Hyperion Theater.

So far advanced are the theories pro-
mulgated by Bernard Shaw in Man
and Superman, in which Robert Lor-
aine will be seen at the Hyperion to-
morrow night, that it is said to leave
behind the impression that it is a good
thing to get away from obsolete ideas.
The fact that Mr.. Lorraine has been
given so much praise in Man and Su-
perman" is in itself indisputable evil
dence that public opinion has under
gone what may be regarded as a revo-
lutionary change. There was time
when Man and Superman' would
have had little favor with playgoers.
1t might have been Kissed out Of exist
ence, all because the author advances
so many new thoughts which years ago
would have been considered as a men
ace to good government, good morals,
healthful condition of the public mind.
1t only goes to show that the people
themselves have changed. Liberality
of thought has taken the place of pro-
vincialism 1t was Rev. John Jasper
who said, ",The sun do move" While
Jasper was undoubtedly wrong on his
astronomical observations, it must be
admitted that public thought advances
constantly in the direction of greater
liberality Mr. Shaw advances some
thing new, something novel, something
out of the ordinary-in fact, something
unusual In his great play Man ana
Superman."

N.w Haven Theatre.

That strong emotional melodrama
bearing the title of "The Curse Of
Drink opened highly successful en-
gagement at the New Haven theater
last night This drama has always
been a popular one with New Haven
theatergoers, and its popularity never
seems to wane, for it always plays to
large and enthusiastic audiences. 1t IS
more powerful than the strongest tenn
perance sermon ever preached from a
pulpit, and leaves a strong, lasting i'm
preston upon all who witness it. The
plot might be said to bea railroad story,
in that it centers around both railroad
officials and employees. The principal
character in the play is Bill Sanford,
an engineer, who has become a slave
to the rum habit. In him the audience
can see a man gone beyond the hope of
recovery. They witness him going
through the terrible sufferings Of the
delirium tremens, and they finally see
him rescued from the impending doom.
and put upon his feet again.
A realistic scene which arouses the
audience to much enthusiasm is the
, thrilling rescue of Nellie Sanford, the
engineers daughter, by Harry Rand,
who is in love with her, while on the
pilot of a full sized locomotive, which
is racing through binding snow
storm. There is villainy aplenty and
lots of good comedy, but the usual NOR
ality is observed when the wicked fall
down to the depths Of ignominy, and
| the wrenged and suffering at last come
into prosperity and happiness. All this
does not happen until the engineer for
sakes drink forever, and rises above
| temptation.
The company is a strong one, and is
headed by P. Aug. Anderson, who plays
the part of the engineer. Other we'll
| known and capable artists in the cast
are Will w. Crimans, Harry Winfield,
Thomas McKenna, George w. Kerr,
William Clifton, Tommy Merrick Carl
| Gath, w. C.McKenna James H. Kerr,
Mildred Heyland, Emma Gath, Baby
Minerva, Winnie Wilmer and the Elec-
trio Comedy Four.
"The Curse of Drink" ought to be a
clubhouse drawing card for Tonight,
Wednesday matinee and Wednesday
evening at popular prices.
Its novelty, its plot and it's thrilling
situations have justly earned for 1.-THE
: Phantom Detective" the title OF the
melodramatic masterpiece of the age.
Never before has a playwright crowd
ed into an evenings entertainment SO
many beautiful scenes, so sterling a
plot, such happy comedy, or such a
galaxy of mysterious, magical stunts
: and sensational climaxes. 'The Phan-
tom Detective" is a man of mystery,
and Elusive creature who battles the
villainous intrigues set to ensnare a
young and beautiful girl You laugh,

Davis and his company in the strong
dramatic playlet entitled 1.-THE I'm

and most sensational playlets seen in

pany helps to make the playlet a sue
