 The Wayne Musical Comedy Go.
 When the Wayne Musical Comedy Company comes to The Grand for three nights engagement, commencing Thursday night, they will present for the opening show The White Hat" If 1t was asked what especial feature of "The White Hat" appeals most strongly to the public 1t would be hard to answer, because of the variety of features offered. Taking the musical comedy as a whole, it might be argued that the consistency of its eonstruc- tion and general wholesome tone Of the play is the best feature of its suc- eessfulness. The music is catchy. the specilaties are all good. the conn edy is clever, the chorus is big and effective. the cast is, without question, the best obtainable, the stage effects are striking and the play itself one of the seasons successes.

The Scandalous Treat-
ment of the President

Though the New York Sun mates
President Roosevelt and never misses
an opportunity to satirize his tempera-
ment and his policies, it does belleVe
that congress did a grievous wrong
when it received his last message with
contempt and sought to humiliate him
nv the manner of it's reception. Says
the Sun:
In speaking of this unparalleled
treatment of presidential message as
scandalous, the Sun means all that the
word scandalous implies. There is no
excuse for the unpleasant incident.
Mr.. Roosevelt's teachings may nave
become bore to both senators and
representatives, but he is president,
and he is doing his constitutional duty
as he understands 1t. Fidelity to his
oath requires him to submit to the
congress- information ''from time to
time and his own Judgment must de-
termine the frequency of the intervals.
His oath requires that the information
shall be 'sof the state of the Union, !"
but if Mr.. Roosevelt interprets this to
mean information of the state OF his
own mind there is no constitutional
remedy. Congress, too, must do its
duty AND listen patiently and respect
full, with whatever fatigue. That sem
ators and Representatives are aweary
of Mr.. Roosevelt's exhOrtatiOns is nc
reason why they should combine tc
boycott him. Any such manifestation
Of Impotence and displeasure goes be-
yond Mr.. Roosevelt the individual
and injuries the dignity and prestige
of the great Office he holds.
Congress, in all it's arrogant def
ance of the people, in all it's petty anc
unworthy hatred Of the president be-
cause of his presumption in informing
it of it's duty, has done nothing more
mischievous than this. When the mes
sage reached thesenate it was received
with as little ceremony as a petition
from the people might have had. Ir
the house the messenger was kept wait
ing four hours, and when the message
finally came Speaker Cannon referred
it to the judiciary committee, which is
a Legislative morgue. When Repre-
sentative John Sharp Williams, the
minority leader, protested and poin.
ted out that it ought to be referred tc
the committee of the whole and there
distributed to the several committees
upon matters dealt with by the mes
sage, the speaker refused to alter hit
order, and added, contemporary
"We get q message from the presiden
on some subject or other nearly ever,
day"
These ombittered and jealous states
men may think that in venting thei
spite upon President Roosevelt the,
