subject matter of this letter is an ap-
peal to all newspapers and newspaper
men to use their personal influence,
and the influence of their papers, with
their congressman and senators, TO
bring about the change so much de-
sired by those Interested
Since the adverse ruling of the in
terstate commerce commission, the
sentiment among newspaper men has
been that the ruling was unjust, and
that it infringed upon the right Of
contract. Since this department has
taken up the matter, l have received
letters from almost every press and
publishers association in the United
States, and without exception, l find
that newspaper men desire a restOra-
ton of the old arrangement and this
desire is based upon the best possible
reasons.

drift of sentiment than most people

This aggressive attitude may have
been caused by the misconduct of high
corporation officials, and from the
public standpoint, may be thoroughly
justified. But Wall street does not
share these views-at least, they are
not held in the highest circles, and
there is more or less apprehension of

Although Countess Olga Won Hatz-
feldt, who iS starring for the second
season in The Little Duchess, is one Of
the youngest Of the footlight favorites
heading their own companies, she is
also one of the most promising. No
actress has had more rapid rise to
steller pre-eminence than she has had
during the four short years of her ex-
perfence on tlIes stage. Her beauty,
charming voice and remarkable talent,
are all inherited. for her father, Ed
ward, Count Won Hatzfeldt, and her
n1others whose stage name was Annie
Auor, were both prominent and popu-
lar on the stage of this country and
Germany. and the countess was virtu-
ally brought up behind the scenes. She
started young in her profession, and
had gained renown even before she
had outgrown her girhood She
has progressed rapidly the last few
years, and as her histrionic education
has been In the best of hands-her tall
ented mother's--it cannot be doubted
that maturity will bring full fruition to
her exceptional ability
When she placed herself under the
capable management of Milton and

as proper vehicle for her exploita-
ton, the already successful musical
comedy, The Little Duchess, which
broke all records at the New York Ca
sino, and was ayowed the most lavish
production of it's kind ever staged.
In this excellent work of Harry B.
Smith and Reginald de Koven, she has
q role most happily suited to her tall

panied by all that goes to make sue
eess--six strong comedy roles to keep
the risibilities and wits of the audi
ence working; catchy music to tingle
pleasantly in the ear; beautiful cos,
TUNES, picturesque scenery and brill
liant effects to please the eye; and an
array of feminine beauty in the big
chorus that should attract a crowded
