PAUL GILMORE TALKS
TO n NEWS REPORTER
ABOUT HIS NEW PLAY

Mr.. Paul Gilmore, who is to ap-
pear at the Auditorium tonight in the
great military play, "The Boys of
Company B." was met at the station
this morning by a representative of
The News and was persuaded to say
a few words about himself and his
new play. Mr.. Gilmore looks taller
and broader than when here last-or
is it his new military play that gives
him this added martial air?
Il am very anxious to have you en-
joy Tony Allen, my new part in my
new play, The Boys of Company b."
said Mr.. Gilmore. TONY is a good
deal of scamp and has a keen per-
ception of the foibles of his fellows,
and plays good naturally upon them,
but, for all that, he is possessed of
indomitable courage and an incredit-
able disregard of the ordinary things
that the ordinary man work and fights
for. His ideals are high and his
motives far from petty, and you will
forgive his pranks and his flirtations,
for they are but the overflow of a
highly charged nature. At heart he
is loyal and true. Since I was here
last season, I have had occasion to
study the militia of many countries.
Desiring to become as conversant as
possible with the military forms and
forces of Europe and Great Britain,
| sailed for Liverpool at the close of
my engagement last season, and by
means of special introductory letters
from my army friends in America,
was given uncommon opportunities for
studying Tommy Atkins in England

REPRESENTATION.

In the current number of the Out
look, one Thomas w. Lingle, of North
Carolina, proposes what he considers
practical plan for abolishing sec
tionalism. His idea is to divide the
electoral vote of each State in pro-
portion to the popular vote cast in
each-giving to the defeated party Of
each individual commonwealth at
least one vote in the electoral college.
The plan is said to be endorsed by
Ambassador Bryce and Judge Clark, of
North Carolina, and it is claimed:
1. 1t would carry the national presi-
dental campaign into every state of
the union.
3 The presidential candidates of
the two great parties would each, at
every election, receive one or more
electoral votes from each state in the
union.
g. All talk about "the Solid South"
and the Solid North" would forever
stop, as no such things as either
would exist.
4. Pivotal states would be put out
of commission.
All four of which are desirable and
altogether possible under the arrange
ment proposed.
Evolving the plan for accomplish
ing the purpose is the next consider
alton, and just here the author.
panacea seems weakest. 1t is admitted
that a constitutional Amendments
would be necessary and that thi
would be hard to obtain, especially
since the application of the plan woulS
have elected Bryan to the presidency
in 1900 by a majority of two votes H.

Here are the figures as applied t

any agitation leading to the contrary"
The South's demagogues, following
the lead of the nations, have come
near to costing the South a pretty
penny and setting back the hands of
progress a decade. The lesson will
be worth all it cost, if, in the future,
the South will learn to distinguish
its Hoke Smiths by foresight rather
than hindsight, bringing into play
some measures of that conservatism
which it now seems to reserve only
for the purpose of reamining etern-
ally in political minority.

and the soldiers of France, of Belgium
and of Germany on their home parade
grounds. My part of Tony Allen in
The Boys of Company B. is naturally
typically American, but l am more
than glad of having had this chance of
obtaining this intimate knowledge of
and acquaintance with the militia of
these foreign countries. 1t has given
me a keener zest for my part in this
militia comedy and more glad that
am not Prussian nor Russian, nor
even an Englishman, but an out and
out American, and the wearer of the
khaki of good old Uncle Sam"

VIM. MOFFETT JR.,
IS CRITICALLY ILL

The friends of Mr.. William Moffett,
Jr., will regret to learn that he is
quite i'll at his home in this city,
though it will be good news to learn
that his condition is thought to be
considerably better today. Mr.. Moi
rett was stricken on the streets Tues
day and had to be carried home.
1t is sincerely hoped that his condi-
ton will continue to improve until
he is completely restored to health.
His physicians believe, however, that
he will have to change climate be-
fore he can fully recover, as he has
had two or three hemorrhages.

This morning witnessed the open

alton voting contest in which the
people of this city ana or the surround

bortunity to participate. No other

During all of this morning and af-

Three thousand dollars is a stu

a contest of this nature, but The Hat

that the magnitude of this contest

A HOLIDAY INNOVATION.

The Saturday Evening Post pub
fishes the following interesting and
valuable story:
"a travelling salesman had an only
son with whom he had been liberal in
the matter of spending money, and
ather thoughtless. The boy began de-
veloping extravagant habits, and had
no appreciation of the value of money
So the father made it rule that all
the spending money he got in future
must be earned. The boys mother
was made the employer, and regular
schedule of prices for definite chores
was drawn up-two cents q basket for
splitting kindling, five cents an hour
for hoeing garden, five cents a hun
dred for collecting potato bugs.
This reformed the boy in one way,
for it made him ambitious. He got
out Of bed early in the morning to
SoA II wac dlW dy0 a DlE
pile of kindling on hand, and he kept
an eye open for odd jobs of all kinds.
"But the reason he worked for
money was that he might buy more
or less useless things that he had
bought under the old arrangement. So
saving plan was added to the earn
ing plan.
"The boy was permitted to spend
one-quarter of all the money he made
in his own way, without supervision.
Another quarter went into a small
home bank, to be deposited in a saw
ings account at interest The remain
ing fifty per cent Of his earnings was
kept back by his father, half to be
invested in books and half in tools
and toys.
Before anything was bought out of
this final fund, however, father and
son had conference and agreement
on articles to be purchased or books
selected. Thus the fund went chiefly
to the purchase of educational toys,
such as printing-press. scroll-saw,
camera. No anticipation of pay
ments was permitted, nor any trans
fer of money from one fund to another
to hurry the consummation of a pur-
chase. In that way the fact that there
was surplus on hand did not kill
the incentive to work for an object"
1t is the special business of our saw
ings department to take care of saw
ings and earnings Of this nature and
while being cared for they will be
earning interest at the rate of per
cent per annum.
On making the first deposit of one
dollar we furnish you with a small
private bank to take home with you.
You could not select a Christmas
present for any member of the fam
lily that would be more useful and
more productive of happiness than
this. We shall be glad to explain
more fully If you will call.

THE SOUTH'S LESSON.

The Louisville Times calls atten-
ton to the fact that just a year ago,
when Mr.. Roosevelts panic was be-
ginning to get well into its stride,
Hoke Smith. then governor of Georgia,
did his little durndest" to acceler-
ate the pace by his championship of
a two-cent rate of fare on all rail
roads within the state, the sum to be
fixed by the legislature without regard
to the damage to the railroads in at
tempting to operate under it. The
railroads were down and Governor
Smiths voice grew raucous with its
loud crying that the governor should
be, if not first, then, at least one of
the first to get a good kick at them.
The Legislature passed the Hoke
Smith bill as did the legislature of
North Carolina and Alabama, the
Glenn and Conner bills.
In the year that has passed the fed
eral courts have had something to
say concerning the confiscation of
property without due process of law.
The Republican party, in it's national
platform, desterted Mr.. Roosevelt in
his role of railroad batter and Mr.,
Roosevelt promptly came round to the
conventions way of thinking.
The railroads today are more Sc
cure than they have ever been against
demagogic cutlery and populistic agita,
ton. The spirit of live and let live
has replaced the dementia Roose-
veltiana. which, year ago. fired ev-
cry near statesmen with a desire to
take whack at the railroads to con
vince his followers that he was truly
a friend of the pee-pul. The part that
the railroads have played and must
continue to play in the upbuilding OF
the country is everywhere recognized
The winds and tide have shifted and
Hoke Smith with them. At the recent
meeting of the Southern Commercial
Convention in Washington, none other
than Hoke Smith was clamorous fol-
the introduction and adoption of the
following resolution:
The construction of such adequate
(railroad) facilities can be accom-
plished only by assuring the holders
of capital that such enterprises will
be safeguarded by conservative ant
constructive legislation, and we urge
upon our Southern Legislators the wis
dom of such a policy, and condemn
