that last evening the audience enjoyed IL

saving "a good deal, remembering that he
has scored a hit every week since the
stock season began. Mr.. Churchill was
also exceedingly funny as Mr.. Howston
the very busy lawyer. He had a capital
makeup and stammering- suffering
manner that was irresistibly laughable.
The second act, when he tries 10 cure his
dog bite. was especially funny and played
with commendabe seriousness and free

Miss Block was charming as Juno Joyce,

honest men upon the land.
But so far as dishonest men are
concerned, there never were fewer
of them in the history of the world.
Modern business Is founded upon
honor. A dishonest man can do no
more than succeed in business than
a profane man could succeed in the
pulpit. Business has, in fact. made
men honest. Nobody thinks of YER
flying the word of business man,
or of insisting upon his taking an
I oath. The merchant or manufacturer
who would misrepresent things to a
person with whom he was doing bus
mess would not last for year. There
used to be an old adage to the effect
that it was wise to tell the truth to
your lawyer and doctor. Modern bus
mess methods has amended the adage
to include the banker. 1t Is O max

that an Osteopath is not guilty of
conduct within the
meaning of the statutes by styling

revoke his license to practice. The
attorney general holds that the term
"uprofessional conduct means dis
honorable conduct in the practice OF
his profession, such as malpractice.
The statute provides that Only ply
sicians who practice medicine and
surgery in all its branches may style
themselves, doctors" but there is no
penalty for adopting the term by per-
sons who do not SO practice.

Considered. "a
ltlbRIiRY11VBEsOPENED|
Exercises will not be Held
in the Building.
Work on the Interior is Progressing
Nicely Will be Completed About
First Of the Year.
i1BRaHY11VBEEOPENED

The Library board met last
night and attended to business of
Importance in connection with the
opening of the new library to the
public which will probably occur
about the first of the year.
Practically all of the exterior Of
the building has been completed
and the finishing touches are now
being put on In the interior which
is to be finished throughout in
mission style. The contractor was
unable to make the progress he
anticipated because of labor trou-
bles at first and later the nom
arrival of materials. especially the
|steel and iron for the structure
II was arranged to hold a
special meeting in the near future
at which time the purchase of new
books for the library will be
taken up. A large amount of mon
ey will be spent in repairing the
bindings of the old books and in
purchasing new books. When the
new library is formally opened to
the public it will contain almost
twice as many volumes as does the
present one.
The furniture for the structure
which is made entirely OF steel,
darkened to match the mission
style furniture, has already arriv-
ed In the city and Just as soon
as the interior decorations are
completed 1t will be moved into
the building.
Within short time the actual
date for the opening of the lib
rary will be decided upon and
preparations will be made for the
affair. The members of the board
want as many residents of Marion
to visit the. new building on the
opening day as possible and on
account OF the lack OF room will
not have exercises xof any kind.
There will be music and good
time, however, for all who attend
the opening.
1t Is the belief of the members
of the board that Marion will have
as fine library when the build
ing is completed and opened as
any city OF its size in the state.

SHIFTING SCENES.

In October, 1906, Senator Lodge was
denouncing Hearst and Moran. and
Secretary Root was denouncing
Hearst and Murphy. both speaking
in the name of Roosevelt. In Octob-
er. 1907. Lodge, Root. Roosevelt and
the rest of the saints and pharisees
/. are voting with Hearst, and Parsons
as their spokesman, is endorsing him
. and his policies Hereafter we shall
hear of Hearst's policies" Instead OF
Roosevelt's policies" Any change Is
, agreeable. On October 8, 1906, Sen
ator Lodge, speaking at meeting
la which ratified the nomination or Gov
1 ernor Curtis Guild, said 1.-The nom
J ination of Mr.. Hearst in New York
" and Mr.. Moran in Massachusetts,
which are identical in character and
purpose, proves beyond a doubt that
the radical element in the Democratic
party, which aims at class legisla-
tion, and strives to arouse class hat
reds, tends also toward socialism and
the destruction of private property.
!, This element, which has been built
aaup and fostered by Mr.. Bryan in his
two campaigns for the Presidency, as
well as by the pitiable collapse of
the safe and sane candidate in 1904,
is now powerful enough to take pos
session of the Democratic organiza-
tion in two great states.
''The condition into which the Dem-
ocratic party has thus fallen is in
itself menace to the welfare of
the country. | am not one of those
who rejoice in it, for | think 1t is
just as important that the party Of
opposition should not drive out all its
conservative elements abandon all its
traditions, and give itself over to
radicalsm and general indecency as
that the party in power should re-
main sound and wise and safe. :"
What opportunists these Republicans
are. Those denounced as socialists
and generally indecent last year, they
are now hand and glove with.

What Others Say.
AS TIMES CHANGE.

Speaking of the changes that have
come over the country an old gentle
man the other day remarked that
l"when he was a boy the drunkard
was rated as a jolly good fellow and
there were lots of them. Free and
unlimited whisky was had at all
house and barn raisings, and the can
dldates knocked in the heads OF
whisky barrels and tagged them with
their names and the office they
wanted, then asked their friends to
drink with them, the barrels being
set out on the sidewalk, where all
could see and drink"
Any of the old fellows around here
lcan tell you that such things were
OF common occurrence. just as any
one can tell you that such a campaign
would make no votes at this time.
The change has not been so much due
TO law as TO the higher moral stand
ard of the people.
Naturally there will be those who
remembering the good days of their
youth, will declare that people were
as moral away back In the past as
|they are at present. and certainly
there have lived good people in all
ages But the fact remains that one
has but to recall the customs of the
past and compare them with the Gus
toms of the present to ascertain that
the standard of morality was never
as high as 1t is right now.
While we talk about the soulless
corporations, and are fond of telling
about the lust for the dollar and the
greed of gain. and all Of that. we
should not overlook the fact that there
wer those who wer chasing the dol
lar as far back as there were any
dollars to chase. We had no gigantic
trusts ages ago. but we had landlord
ism and slavery and things good
deal worse than the present system
|of trusts. We have dishonest bus

MAKING THE INDIAN WORK
Ut develops that the recently
threatened Ute outbreak was due to
an attempt TO force evolution lit
tie too hard. An Indian agent had
tried to make the redskins work.
I'm order to stimulate them to un-
wonted industry, he put them on half
rations. TO continue as long as they
remained idle. A report submitted
by Cap. Johnson shows that the In
'dians are hungry: their women and
children are suffering. Now the Utes
have never worked, either volun-
tarily or under compulsion, and they
could not understand or sympathize
with the new order of things When
they gave vent to their Indignation,
the agent sent for the soldiers. And
Commissioner Leupp took the same
view as the agent, saying:"NNe be-
lieve in providing work for them,
and then in permitting them to go
hungry II they will not accept the
opportunity to make living"
This sounds WELL" aptly remarks
the Indianapolis Star, "but what of
our treaty obligations? These Utes
had possession of most OF western
Colorado and Utah. Our miners and
prospectors wanted their lands. Their
agent was impressed with this same
idea that the important point in the
Indian problem was to make the In
dian work. He got into a row over
II. and sent for the troops. The In
dians thought that the troops were
coming to make them work and the
result was the White river massacre
and the Ute war of 1880. The i'm
mediate damage was not great but
1t drove at least1O0,OO0 white people
away from their work in the noun
tains. lost more work than the whole
Ute nation could perform In ten
years. and cost thousands OF dol,
lars" <SAw3 tttW
After that tl,es yovernment made a
treaty swifdR the sVtfs, and took, away
their lands. putting them on reserva-
tions and agreeing to give them food
and schools. but saying not word
about working, Now when a REFORM
er comes along and demands that
these same Indians should earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow,
they naturally object. They have
never worked and they do not UNDER
stand why they ever should. They
have not been brought np that way.
'rheir own traditions and habits of
life and the enforced helpfulness i'm
posed on them by the conquering race
have added to their natural inclina-
lions toward a life Of ldleuess. Event

ually, no doubt, the race can be
taught to labor by the education of
their children and their gradual adop-
tion of the white mans standards.
But such evolution operates slowly.
Aside from the moral question in
volved In this unwarranted imposition
1t seems that the labor idea is a
sort of humbug as practical meas
ure. Capt. Johnson says: "One
hundred pounds of -four and a little
patience is a more potent factor in
the solution of this problem than 100
soldiers. II these people are fur
nished with sufficient food to sus-
tain life through the winter, and they
be allowed to send their children to
day school Instead of sending them
away to boarding school, they will
be just as amenable to control as the
Sioux. (" The government has prom

practically, as Judge Parker has con-
tended in theory. This is getting re-
suits. One result r. that the Federal
government is hopelessly dlstanced as
a punisher of trusts. Mr.. Roosevelt
took up the work where PETER and
Bryan dropped 1t, and easily outdid
them. But the states took up the
work where President Roosevelt
dropepd 1t, and are actually doing
what he threatened"

AS TO RESULTS

1t Is now evident that the epidemic
of trust-busting in the department of
Justice Is mere dust and feathers.
The Washington Post adduces the fol-
lowing facts illustrating the situation:
with all the Presidents threats and
activities, there are many more
trusts in existence than when he be-
gan his campaign against them. He
had a special fund of half a million
to work with. and he has collected
an approximately equal amount in
fines. Just two undesirable citi-
zens have gone to Jail under Federal
laws, and the good done has been
largely offset by the practical white
washing OF the biggest fish in the
net. The wicked men may breathe
freely If they must be worse than
MIR. Hartman to be punished.
Nov mark how the States manage
~the ssme job. In Ohio twenty-three
wealthy and prominent citizens have
been sentenced to nine months i'm
, prisonment. In North Carolina
clerks selling tickets in violation of
the railway rate law have been sent
enced to the chain gang, and their
employers have been fined $4,000 in
the most summary manner. In Phil
a delphia they have found way to
punish trusts without any statute,
the common law being found adequate
