Lucia Moore's new play, alice
Fire" by J. NJ. Barrie,
author of Peter Pan" The Little
Minister" and others, in which she
is to be seen here shortly brims over
with high class comedy and true
dramatic action-it is entirely de-
void of the "talky atmosphere"
which burdens SO many of this sea-
sons offerings and is said to suit
this clever actress better than any
thing she has before attempted. 1t
ives first produced and played by
Miss Ethel Barrymore at the Critic
rion Theatre, New Yark, last sea-
son when it ran for one year and
won unstinted praise from press
and public and was voted as quite
meeting the standard attained by
the former Barrie successes. The
production will be given with the
same equipment associated with its
metropolitan premiere and doubt
less will attract a capacity audience
to the Shelton opera house on
Thursday, January 80.

CREDITORS MEET
Plans for Settlement of Affairs of
Bankrupt Broker Discussed.

St. Louis, Jan. 2S.--Creditors of
John Mulholland, the spectacular
financier of the Middle West, held
their first meeting today to discuss
plans for a settlement Of the affairs
CT the bankrupt broker. In his vol
untary petition in bankruptcy Null
holland gave his assets as $3,o19,-
56S9S and his liabilities as S1,SO4,-
SOS. One thousand or more credi-
tors, scattered in eight states, are
affected In his list of assets Null
holland scheduled everything from
railroads to private libraries and
personal belongings. The creditors
meeting will be held in East st.
Louis.
Mulholland began his career of
high finance few years ago with
working capital of scarcely moth
ing. His first brokerage Office was
established in this city. and later
branches were operated in New
York, Chicago, Cincinnati. Cleve-
land, Detroit, Buffalo and Kansas
City. In each of these cities he
opened elaborate Offices, incorporat-
ing under the laws of the state,
bonding his companies and signing
the papers himself. 1t is believed
that little can be realized on the
100000 scheduled as assets.

VIM. H. Taft,
Republican Candidate.

The expected happened VIM. H.
Taft, protege and favorite of Theodore
Roosevelt. was named as the candi-
date upon whom the president hopes
to let his robe of office fall when he
retires on the 4th OF next March.
Vim. II. Taft is a big man-big in
brain as we'll as body-big in ability
and patriotism and equipment-big
enough to fit any Office within the
gift of the American people.
But Mr.. Taft is not the only big
man in the republican, party nor the
only one whose friends wanted to
see him president OF the United
States. AS a matter of fact. he was
no bigger than several others who as
pired to be the candidate of the par
ty. BY aid of the big stick, of presi-
Dental influence and patronage, he
was able to crowd the others OF the
track and win the nomination. That
was easy under the circumstances.
That worked with the delegates.
But will the big stick be as potent
when it comes to dealing direct with
the people? That is the whole ques-
ton now
The American people love Theodore
Roosevelt. They have done and they
would do much for him. But when
be Is not himself the candidate will
they permit him to hand them over
to some one else? Human nature
answers, no.
No\matter how much the public
may think of public man: no matter
how much the public would do for
him when he is himself the object of
support. there is little, subtle some
when that same public man tries to
throw his support to another.
AIR. Taft will have a much harder
campaign to fight than either Me-
Kinley or Roosevelt had. He is not
the magnetic and attractive man that
Mckinley was nor will he be blessed
with the weak opposition that Roose-
welt had. He is not as popular with
the masses as either Mckinley or
Roosevelt and he will have as an OPP
ponent the greatest popular idol and
the greatest vote-getter that the
democratic party has ever produced.
II is long four and a half months
yet until election day and Mr. Taft's
progress thus far toward the presi-
dental chair constitutes the smallest
part of his work. The real fight is
yet to come.

The cost of building has decreased ma

a concise example that is well worth the
reading, especially to the man who is
contemplating the improvement of proper
ty in this city:
The one great reason why building
operations should be undertaken now or
why contracts for supplies should be
entered into is that they can be made
on more advantageous terms.
Materials can be secured for lower
prices. will be delivered more promptly
and in a more satisfactory manner than
during either 1905 or 1907.
As a general proposition lumber now
is being sold for 10 to Is percent less than
during last year. In some cases where
the trade is supplied with special woods
a reduction 10 that extent has not been
made. However. 10 percent probably rep

Browne received 1876 votes and as
Gilchrist received 169 votes more in
the second primary than in the first,
1t is seen that he only lacked twenty
six votes of securing the entire
Browne vote.
In the senatorial contest Hon. d. u.
Fletcher increased his vote over the
vote received in the first primary by
563, while Gov. Broward increased
his vote by SIS.
In the first primary the combined
vote cast for Beard and Lamar was

Fletcher and Broward was 1,13S,
showing that the Beard and Lamar
vote was nearly equally divided be-

The total vote cast for senator in
the first primary was 1881, while the
total vote cast for senator in the sec
ond primary was 4,503, a falling off
OF only twenty-eight votes.
The total vote cast for governor in

In commenting upon the election in
TINS district, by a large majority, of
Frank L. Mayes as delegate to the
Denver convention, the Pilot stated
that the heavy vote was not for
Mayes the delegate, but for Mayes
the man. The Times-Union in motto
Ing his election took similar view of
the matter
IN reviewing these notices brother
Mayes' natural modestt asserts it
self and he says: The Pilot and
Times-Unior, each being opposed to
Mr. Bryan, naturally attribute the
me vote that the Bryan delegates got
IN the Third district to some other
cause, but We assure them that the
voters really meant il. The
vote was Bryan vote"
The Pilot publishes this excerpt
from The Journal that il NAV 90 ON
record as to its being opposed" to
Mr. Bryan. It's opposition is not to
Mr. Bryan the man, whom the editor
personally knows and highly esteems.
but to his candidacy as the demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency.
The Pilot believes the time is at
hand when the democratic marty.
with democratic platform. might
elect its candidate. 1t does not see
any possibility of Mr.. BRYAN being
elected. Mr.. Bryan is a preacher not
politician. He is a moral uplifter
in present day politics. and as such
occupies a position at once unfnue
and almost alone. 1t is this ideal
position that, he has achieved that
causes so many of the people of these
United States to cheer him and his
utterances to the echo, and which at
the same time units him for the no.
sition of a successful candidate for
the presidency in this sordid, brutalIy
commercial age.
The manipulation of politics and
political parties is now a very cold
blOoded proposition, and however
much that fact may be deplored. 1t
must be recognized and met. The
democratic party should rise above
the one man idea, mere hero worship.
and get down to business. That
business should be to return TO such
democratic principals as have achiev-
ed success in the past.
The republican party now stands as
the representative of government by
the few, carrying elections and retain
ing power through the disreputable
use of the money and of the indus
trial power of the many colossal cor
porations which that party have
created. resulting in these corpora
tons exercising unlimited control
over their creators
Democracy stands for a government
by all the people, for political and
and natural equality" as opposed TO
protected Interests, and government
by a monied aristocracy. On these
lines the democratic party should
align itself and wage its battles. In
this stampede for Mr.. Bryan, the
preacher, the Pilot does not recog-
nize that exercise Of calm and wise
Judgment that portends victory TO
the party Thus rs opposition 10 the
candidacy of that gentleman.
