states named, and We do not con-
ceive it to be any violation of either
the law or the principles governing
Interstate regulation, for state
maximum to be adopted by the fed
eral commission as binding on the
railroads in interstate traffic, provid'
ed, only that the state maximum does
not exceed, and thus nullify, the fed
orally established maximum.
We conceive it to be entirely with
in the province and right of the
state, taking into consideration all the
conditions, to permit a railroad to
charge a higher local rate on certain
Improbable stretches of road than on
others, and, if the state see fit, to
permit that rate to be lessened when
the stretch to which it applies as a
local rate is a part of an interstate
| trip, or when it is part of a reason
| ably long intra-state haul; but the
maximum rate allowed by state law
| maximum that the railroads can
charge over that stretch under any
conditions.
The established rule and logic in
freight is that the long haul rate is
naturally lower than the sum of the
| rates over portions of the haul. the
cost of handling in and out of cars
being a factor in the expense of
handling freight. Eliminating this
| expense of the railroad, it becomes
logically probable that the just pas
| senger rate between any points in
! different states is the sum of just
fares from one point to state line
! plus the fare from the othsr point to
state line. Distance, alone, apart
from other factors, makes no differ
ence in the railroad expense per mile
OF hauling a passenger, who loads
and unloads himself, whereas dis
tance, or the frequency of handling
| freight, does make a difference in
the expense per mile of hauling
freight
Since it is local conditions, and not
ulSldACo, CudI is the oSSenJlal diner
ence in the relative expense per
mile of hauling passengers as distin-
guished from packages, the state is, or
at least should be, much better Judge
than any federal body of what is the
fair and reasonable local passenger
rate. The feredal courts ought not
TO be allowed to interfere with. such
rates, or with the enforcement of
such rate laws, or with punishment of
individuals for violation of such laws.
Non-residence does not permit a
thief or murderer, even though he
be an alien, to escape trial in a state
court for violation of a state law. and
If a state have the legal right to
make an agent of a corporation per-
sonally responsible to the law regu.
lating the corporation, then the indi-
v1dual ought to be denied appeal to
the federal judiciary when such an
peal means a crippling of sovereign
states authority to enforce its con-
stitutional powers.
We are not certain what the law is
on this point, but We know what it
ought to be.

COLUMBIA TO HAVE
NRWMUSICAL PLAY.

A new musical drama is b. B. Forrester's
production OF THE Little Organ Grinder"
in which he is this season starring Miss
Marion Ballou, and which spends a week,
beginning Monday afternoon, at the Column
bia Theatre.
The play is said to be deliberately staged,
constituting one of the most pretentious
productions that have been put upon the
road. The story deals with a wronged
girl and a clever scoundrel, who in the end
is beaten at his own game by the heroine.
It is unfolded, 1t is said. in a manner to
sustain heart interest all the way
through. Miss Ballou plays her part with
the grace which has characterized her APP
pearance in numerous other plays, we are
Informed, and which has contributed TO
her success and popularity. The more Sc
we're situations Of the play are relieved by
wholesome veins of comedy, and the songs
and musical numbers do much to tighten
the pathetic effects. TIL play portrays, 80
far as Miss Ballou's role is concerned, all
the good there is in a good girls heart and
brings II out fOrcibly.

MUCH VARIETY IN
THE SHUBERT BILL

Each week that passes adds prestige and
popularity to advanced vaudeville" Start
ing out with a fulhllment of every promise
as to novelty and excellence of offerings, IL
has not only kept up to the standard, but
the bills have grown better and stronger
with the succeeding weeks.
A glance at the next bill here will re-
veal another array of offerings of high
class:
John LeClaire will do some comedy Jug
Cling, and he is said to be exceptionally
clever in his line of work.
Brown and Navarro are two negro enter
tainers, just returned from London. Their
performance will be a novelty, in that they
do many limitations of Chinese actors and
singers. 1t is said their appearance is
identically that OF the Chinese.
Joe Flynn, a monologist and parodist.
who styles himself "The Man Behind the
Book" will read out more Jokes and good
stories from his unique volume.
Harry Tate and company will be fea-
tured. Mr.. Tate heads the original London
company in his latest novelty, Fishing.
Each year he produces, first at the Oxford,
then at the other theatres in the British
metropolis and through the provinces, a
new travesty on some popular sport OF
pastime. His first was on "Golfing, MS
next on Hockey then on Motoring
and now he has produced one on Fish
ing"
Josephine Sabel, returned from her three
year tour of the world, will be the speciaI
feature OF the bill. Everybody knows
Sabel and the song she made famous,
"There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Towu
Tonight" This she sang so irresistibly, thal
.b, srraa1 a.. faraa an fha four corners OF
the earth. Her work is said to be character
lied by much sparkle and zest, and heI
elaborate gowns always attract much at
t%ention. She won the costume grand priS
last year at the Paris tournament.
Barnold's Dog and Monkey Pantomlmt
will also be one of the headline acts
| Wherever this act has been presented Il
has been classed as a remarkable display
of canine sagaclty and intelligence. This
was one of the feature acts at Hammer
STEMS Paradise Garden in New York dur
ing the past summer. The act differs ma
| terially from others in Its line, in that thu
dogs, cats and monkeys who make up th'
'dramatis personae," appear alone on th'
stage. There is no trainer or attendant
TO coax or force them to do their tricks
They enact a complete little farce comedy
pantomime just as other actors do. TIL
scene shows the main street in a viilag,
and the act is called "a Hot Time in Dog
Vile" All sorts of things happen, from 1
street fight to the elopement of a canine
debutante with a Romeo of fox terrier
lineage. But the piece de resistance of thf
Offering is when the drunken dog appears
He has been putting in good time at thu
town saloon, and when he comes on tbs
stage he is almost past the point Of navi
cation. Finally he gets so drunk he fall
in a stupor, and along comes a copper
and arrests him. The performance of thii
drunken" dog, whose name is Dan, hai
been much written about.

MANTELL'S RICHARD TO
BE SEEN IN ORANGE.

One needs to go back many years 10
find another actor so successful as mas
been Robert Mantell in the role IN
which he is to appea here, IN the
Orange Theatre, on the night OF next
Monday. George Frederic Cooke was
one of the great Richards of history;
Gustavus Vaughn Brooke was another;
a third was the father of Edwin Booth,
Junius Brutus. Mr.. Mantelrs imme-
date predecessors as Richard on our
stage were Thomas w. Keene and Rich
ard Mansfield, both dead. NKeene's
Richard was of the old school, with the
crookback made as terrible as possible
and the appeal always to the gallery.
Mr.. Mansheld's, on the other hand, was
of a new school that often set the
critics to fighting as to the advisability
of applying it to the plays of Shake
speare. 1t was in King Richard III"
that MI. Mansfield mad his famous bid
for London approval in 1883. The
tragedy remained always thereafter in
his extensive repertoire.
Mr.. Mantells is a modified version OF
the traditional Richard. 1t is wholly
without the rant and gallery play so
often noted in the role, while lacking
nothing in the robust employment of
the picturesque qualities of the arch
villain and hypocrite. Mr. Mantell has
played Richard several times in New
ark and has spread the impression that
the character as he plays 1t is the
strongest in his repertoire.
Mr.. Mantell comes here with the same
company that was In his support when,
last season. he played his two engage
ments in New York city-one in the
Academy of Music and the other in the
New Amsterdam Theatre.
The curtain will rise promptly at 8
o'clock on Monday. The extent of the
advance sale indicates a realization of
the Importance of the engagement.
Pryor, the trombone king" and his
instrumental soloists will play Tues
day matinee and evening at the Orange
Theatre. On Wednesday evening the
musical comedy, Everybody Works
But Father" will be produced with
Miss Fern Melrose in the prima donna
role and Ben Ross as Father"

"FASCTNA TING FLORA"
AND "BEN HUR" COMING.

The Newark Theatre will offer for the
week of October I the Burnside anu Com
stock production Of Fascinating Flora, d
musical comedy that has proved one OF inc
chiefest successes that has been on Broad
way in several months. With Aoele

pany including James E. sullivan, FREQ
Bond, Ada Lewis. Edward M. Favor, Ella
Snyder. Arthur Stanford and a large num-
Der of others.
OF all the spectacular productions OF
modern times. none has been credited with
so long a run of prosperity as has Klaw
& changers popular dramatic spectacle,
pen Hur.' 1t is today W WITH :
record of over 900 performances and has
been seen by more than five million peo-
pie. In al. this period Of marked prosperity
Il Sunday performance has never been
given. and this policy will continue. In
fact, the success Of the play is largely ac-
credited to the religious sentiment prevail
ing In the theme. this being particularly
attractive to the ncn-theatresoer, VINO, as
n rule. avoids the playhouse owing to re-
lleious s~cruples. "Ben Hur.'' however, has
the Endorsement of the leading lights of
NIL denominations. regardless Of creed,
and II has appealed to all classes of people.
Although dealing with the most delicate
| subject In the history of the stage, the
freedom of the whole performance from
| anything that might CRATE upon the nerves
of the most religiously sensitive Sas made
an impression that has commanded the in
dorsement of the very best people.
'Ben Hur'' is unique in conception and
massive In construction. In fact the mas
siveness is the particular feature Of TINS
production that makes 1t remarkable.

not in any ems as alarming:

this is their last chance, and if they
can't rig a life raft of some sort they
must go down with the sinking craft,
