Deep in my heart I shut one thought of you
Deeper than Love may look,

A sweetness and a stain.

SISTER OF PEER
SINGS ON STAGE

LONDON, Feb. S.-A ballad singer,
who is the sister of a peer and who,
strangely enough. may succeed TO the
title, is the attraction at "a Belfast
vaudeville thcater. Mime. Esperance''
is the stage name of the Hon. Norah
Johnston, sister OF Viscount BIassereene
and Ferrard, and sister-in-law 10 one
OF the most beautiful women in Eng
land.
Nine. Esperance is the wife Of a needy
clergyman, and to support her four
young children this blue blooded" lady
has been forced to turn her vocal talent
to account.
Although an ancient and respected
Irish family, the AIassereenes are far
from wealthy. and the present viscoUnt's
sister did not improve her fortunes by
marrying ii poor parson. Hence the
necessity for sinking her dignity by ap-
pearing In vaudeville.
The Hon. Norah Johnston is the eldest
laughter Of the eleventh viscOmt, and
is heiress presumptive TO the ViscOunty
(Which may be held by a woman), since
her brother is chudless. She is a grand
daughter Of Capt. Whyte Melville, the
noted sporting novelist.

PRIESTESS HENTI-nEKIT

Henti-MekiJ, high priestess Of the
temple of Amen-Ra, was buried at
Thebes in the year 1910 r. c. For
nearly 5000 years her EiIded. painted

there may be another reception at the

as King Edward is always pleased to

MADE Strong ARGUMENT
FOR DEMOCRACY


When we were engaged in a state
campaign last year. the Republicans
lodged state issues and turned to ma
tional policies. This year when there
are no state issues to decide, they turn
loose their batteries on the state ad-
ministration and seek to evade nation
81 issues"
So declared Hon. Lee Cruce before
an immense audience on the bank cor
ner Saturday evening in speech
that had the real Democratic ring and
was generously applauded throughout.
Although there was Socialist
speaking on the opposite corner and
much confusion on the streets, Mr..
Cruce held the closest attention of
his hearers, as he discussed the issues
in clear, dispassionate manner, with
out harshness and with facts and logic
that were convincing. After Impress
ing upon his hearers the Importance
Of going to the polls on Nov. 8, the
speaker briefly defended the state ad-
ministration from the principal attacks
that have been made against it.
He showed mat, although Republi-
cans claim that taxes win be several
times higher under statehood than
with territorial form Of government,
the taxes for six months Of the last
territorial administration, the taxes
were almost as high as the state tax
for the first state administration for
nineteen and one-half months; that al
though Republicans are crying graft in

Oklahoma under the state administra-
tion-when no state officials were ever

administration, under Teddy Roosevelt,

Oklahoma for creating SO many offices,
when the time comes, kick them out, /"
declared the speaker, but the Repub-
licans have done worse in the nation,
when a full quota Of officials were al
ready in service why, may I ask,
should they not be kicked out nation
ally2"
In his discussion Of national issues,
Mr.. Cruce showed the people why the
Republicans refused to put in their
platform planks favoring an eight-hour
day, an employers liability law, de-
partment Of labor, publicity of cam
paign contributions and income tax,
election of United States senators by
direct vote Of the people, guaranty of
deposits. physical valuations OF rail-
roads, and toTd the people why the
trusts sell cheaper abroad than at
home, why they are afraid of the peo-
pie and the people's candidate; in
short, why the voters in this, the great
est campaign ever waged, the people
should rally to the support of the great
Nebraskan.
In the closing part or his speech,
Mr.. cruce laid special stress upon the
attitude of President Roosevelt in his
attempt to force Taft upon the people
as their president, in effect forcing
direct succession to the presidency.
He called attention to the statement
made by Nicholas Longworth in which
he declared that Roosevelt. his father
in-law, would force the election of Taft
for eight years and then have himself
reelected for eight more years and,
how, although Longworth has now been
forced to announce that it was a joke.
declared for several days after making
it that he was never more in earnest
in his life. Mr.. Cruce points to this
as a threatened danger of a return to
monarchial form of government and
declared that there are thousands of
wealthy men in this country who
would welcome such change.
