"Buster Brown Comes Tonight

Beginning tonight and continuing for three performances, including Saturday matinee, the attraction at the Jefferson theatre will be Buster Brown" the musi- cal comedy sl5it based on R. F. Outcault s famous cartoons of the hopeful scion Of the Brown family. Incidentally it may be remarked that this is the only authen- tice and authorized version of Buster Brown" Success always breeds imitation and Buster Brown has suffered the past of theatric popularity in the shape of numerous pirates who have sought to delude the public with garbled plays, using a title somewhat similar to the original.

Fine Game.

/The basketball team of the Athletic club defeated the Scottsboro team this evening at the Hippodrome and the final score was B to 13 in favor of the local club
 Several special cars had been hired to take the crowd out, and taken all in all 1t was the finest game that the Bessemer boys have played this season.
 This closes the season with the Bes- semer Athletic club and it is thought they have done remarkably well when it is taken itno consideration that they have had no coaching to speak of and have been almost entirely thrown upon their own efforts for success.

At the Bijou.

,The Bijou is doing a very good business this week with Harry Clay Blaney in ~'The Boy Detective as the offering. The new BIaney show is exciting and abounds in comedy, two characteristics peculiar to all the Blaney offerings. The new play deals with the adventures of the boy de-
 lfective in his efforts to break up a band of express robbers. He has many narrow escapes but always comes out best and there are many laughable episodes to help the action along. Mir. Baney is supported by fair company Kitty Wolf, a Bijou favorite, takes the leading womans role

 Labor Question.
 Under republican rule the relations be- tween capital and labor have become more and more strained, and yet the republican leaders resist each attempt to bring em- ployers and employees into more harmon ious relations.
 ."rhe Philippine question presents an- Other instance of gross mismanagemenf. Instead of applying American ideas to the Philippine question, the republican leaders initiated the empires of the old world and entered on a colonial policy which has involved us in enormous expense, brought us weakness instead of strength and humiliation instead of glory.
 Republican lncompetency.
 .'The present financial stringency is an other illustration of republican incom- potency In the full possession of power 1t has allowed the country to be run by Wall street fnanciers and In the crisis is impotent to do more than furnish money out of the public treasury to support the market. It has made no effort to stop gambling-the fruitful cause of panics; It has made no effort to furnish government notes for an emergency and 1t has made no effort to protect deposltors. While 1t demands security for government funds when deposited with banks, it has left the individual depositor to risk his scanty savings without protection against mismanagement by bank officials.
 "The republicans admit that something must be done and they know not how to proceed. They are so convinced that the present conditions are deplorable that they applaud the Presidents last mes sage, which was an indictment of repub- Ecan misrule, for all abuses of which he complained are traceable to republican legislation or lack of legislation.
 ''The democrats face the future With hope, and their hope rests on firm foun- dalton. Democratic policies have grown in popularity as the voters have become better acquainted with the evils to be remedied. The democrats have been look ing at public questions from the stand point of all the people, while republican leaders have been looking at them from a standpoint of few.
 '.As the strength of party must in the long run be measured by the strength Of it's principles, democrats have reason to believe that their prospects of success have been greatly increased by the wide spread acceptance of democratic remedies.
 Hope of United Party.
 Another reason for hope is to be found in the fact that the democratic party IS emitted, while the republican party $ divided and the reunion of the democratic party is due to the same causes that have brought division into the republican ranks. The country has moved forward toward positive and aggressive resistance to the encroachment of predatory wealth, and this growth has brought the rear

CITY IS REAP|NC ITS
! FRANCHISE TH0RNS
Administration Stumped by the Refusal Of
Graves to Pay Portion of Bridge Cost.

there is no moral or legal obliga.
ton on the part of the Traction
company to pay share of the
bridge cost, as the city granted the
franchise on Olive avenue with It's
eyes open.
And this is indisputably true, IL
the city can be held open-eyed
when operating through a blind
council.
The company makes a further
plea of poverty, claiming that its
books will show that there Is no
hope of getting its entire invest
ment out of the line on Olive av.
enue during the life of the fran
chise, II years and six months, in
addition to the operating expenses
and fixed charges which the line
is required to carry. 1t thinks that
the tax of two mills per car mile
now paid, and the further fact that
the company is required to main
tain the bridge for the space be-
tween it's outside rails and two
feet beyond on either side, and
also to light the entire bridge at
it's own expense, is sufficient COM
pensation for the city.

FOURTH WARD
SEWER SESSION

Citizens of the Fourth ward in
terested in the new sewer in dis
trict 4 will hold a meeting tomor-
row night at Justice Suckers
courtroom to consider the building
of the sewer system. The various
objections in the remonstrance filed
last week will be gone over and an
effort made to adjust the difficult
ties in some way so the sewer
building can go ahead.
The city council referred the
matter to Councilmen Dalke and
Mohr, OF the Fourth ward, for set
Element and it is likely that any
recommendations made by them
will be adopted.
Councilman Mohr favors separate
sewer districts for the main trunk
sewer and the various laterals.
The wishes of the Fourth ward
people in the matter of the pro
posed new market on the north
side will probably be considered at
the same time.
