Art and Environment.

In the March McClure's Ellen
Terry adds another chapter to
her memoirs called Memories
of Booth and Sarah Bernhardt,"
Of her own appearance as Juliet
she says:
1T was perhaps the greatest
opportunity that 1 had yet had
at the Lyceum. l studied the
part at my cottage at Hampton
Court in a bedroom looking out
over the park. There was moth
ing wrong with that. By the
way, how important it is to be
careful about environment and
everything else when one is
studyingl One ought to be in
the country, but not all the time.
1t is good to go about and see
pictures, hear music and watch
everything. One should be very
much alone, and should study
early and late-al night, if need
be, even at the cost of sleep.
Everything that one does or
thinks or sees will have an effect
upon the part, precisely as on
an unborn child.
81 wish now that, instead of
reading how this and that act
ress had played Juliet, and
cracking my brain over the
different readings Of her lines,
and making myself familiar with
the different opinions Of philoso-
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1908-04-18

pliers and critics, 1 had gone to
Verona and just imagined. Per
haps the most wonderful de-
scription of Juliet as she should
be acted occurs in Gaoriele d.
Annuzio's II Fuoco' (The
Flame). In the book an Italian
actress tells her friend how she
played the part when she was a
girl of fourteen in an open-air
theatre near Verona. Could a
girl of fourteen play such a partg
Yes, if she were not youthful,
only young with the youth OF
the poet, tragically old, as some
youth is.
Now I understand Juliet bet
ter. Now l know how she
should be played. But time is
memorable. At sixty, know
what one may, one cannot play
Juliet"

How to Cure
Constipation

Few people altogether escape a disor-
der of the bowels. You may catch cold,
oVer-eat, ~over-drink, worry too much,
not exercise enough or do a hundred and
one other things that result in constipa-
ton or costiveness. When the trouble
comes it is well to know what to do for it.
In the opinion of thousands there is no
better cure for constipation than DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which anyone
can obtain for so cents or ST at a drug
store. We all have constipation occa-
sionally, and the sensible thing to do is
20 have bottle OF this remedy always In the
house. You take 1t at night on retiring, for
example, and when you wake up In the morning
at your usual hour IL produces It's results,
Your stomach instantly becomes lighter, your
head clearer, your eyes brighter, you feel active
ana spry once again, your appetite has re-
turned and you are ready to work with enthu-
dasm and vig0r. All this may not have taken
more than a dose or two az q cost not to exceed
two or three cents. Can you afford to feel bad
when you can feel good fer so little2
DR.. Wilson Brown. OF Metropolis, Ill, has no
hesitancy In saying that DR.. CalGwell's Syrup
Pepsin Is the greatest OF al laxatives and he
frankly admits TO his patients that Il they used

without doubt the best cure for occasional or
chronic constipation, dyspepsia. biliousness,

TO the Democrats Of Lafayett,

TO the Democrats of Lafayette
County.
In announcing myself a can
didate for denomination by the
Democratic party for represent
ative from Lafayette county
to the next General Assembly of
the state of Missouri, l do so as
a candidate of No Faction. A
United States Senator is to be
elected. If the election for Sen
ator is held under the law as it
now stands / will vote for the
candidate for that Office receiv-
ing the highest number of votes
at the November election. If
such election is not held for any
cause, | will obey the will of the
Democrats of the county, as
nearly as I can ascertain it and
if a primary or convention is
held for that purpose will sup
port its candidate so chosen.
AS to my other official actions in
case I am elected, I will do as
l have always done in the past,
the best | can for the interest Of
the people of my county and

past record as your representa-
tive to show what that win be.

Democracy And Business.

St Louis Republic.
That Democracy is something
very different from the Roose-
veltian policy of trying to regu-
late all the business under the
sun by Federal legislation is
well Illustrated by resolutions
adopted recently by the Demo
Gratis Of Hot Spring County,
Arkansas,
While reserving the right to
regulate corporations by law in
all reasonable and necessary par
ticulars, these resolutions as
given to The Republic by a con-
tributor call for the repeal of
certain recent enactments of
the Arkansas Legislature which
are described as unnecessarily
drastic.
Without going into the merits
or dement's Of the acts specified,
it may be asserted as a principle
well established by experience
that all government interference
wIuu BUSINESS WHICH IS nUU nee
essary and just is harmful alike
to business and to the commun-
ity.
The Democratic policy has
ever been, while safeguarding
most iealously the rights and
interests Of the people, to inter-
fere no more than may be nee
essary with the affairs of in
diyiduals or corporations in the
conduct of their business.
Intelligent and just regula-
ton Of all public service corpora
tions is not only permissible but
necessary to protect the public
against imposition at the hands
of concerns which are by their
nature necessarily monopolies.
Provided the regulation is not
unjust or oppressive to investors
in a public-seryice corporation,
it cannot be too strict or too
vigilant.
Laws against combinations
and conspiracies in restraint of
trade have long existed in this
country and in England and are
likely long to remain. But the
practical remedy generally has
been that they fall apart by their
own rottenness, just as the
worlds main remedy for over
grown fortunes has been that
they are at last dissipated by
those who inherit them.
The Democratic remedy for
most of the trusts and monopol
les which exist in this country
is to reduce the tariff to a leve.
at which it cannot be used as {
stronghold of aggression agains'
the consumers of manufactured
goods.
The true Democratic policy
with respect to all corporation
is that they be chartered undel
laws which protect their stock
holders and promote theil
efficiency as agencies Of honest
business while holding them ac
~countable to the power by which
they are created.
These sound democratic pol
icies are, for the beneficial con
troll Of corporations, great anc
small, worth carloads Of specia
legislation aiming to regulat,
every detail of the country
affairs.

STOCK MARKET TRADING
Is VIOLENTLY ACTIVE

New York, November 9.-Startng with a
whirlwind of tremendous trading a prices
which threatened sharp declines before
the day was over, the stock market. with
sales of 1,633,000 shares, today broke all
records for activity since last March but
closed the day without recording serious
net losses, and even with gains in some
important stocks. A sensational decline
in the price of common stock of the Amer
lean Tobacco company on the curb mar
ket as a result of the decision of the
United States circuit court, declaring that
company was a combination in violation
of the Sherman law, precipitated the early
Decentralization in the trading on the stock

day and opened today at 375, from which
point it dropped violently a total of rs

apprehension among the traders as to the
scope of the courts decision as applied
to combinations, had a sympathetic effect
upon standard stocks on the exchange,
and prices suffered several sharp declines
in the opening hour. A feeling that the

SPLENDID TRIBUTE PAID
TO ABILITY OF CARMACK

Wash ington, November 9.--(Special.)
The sensational shooting of former
Senator Carmack of Tennessee in Nash
Vile today caused the utmost regret in
Washington. where Mr.. Carmack had
served six years as senator and sew

the House He was very popular here.
and during his service in Congress
there was rarely a night that the rooms
flowing with friends anxious to listen
TO the wit of the brilliant Tennessean.
All Washington hoped that he would
some day resume his place in the SEN
ate and at no time since he retired was
he nearer the goal than this morning.
Frazier two years from the coming
March was thought certain by Ten
nessee politicians.
Carmac< made his initial bow to
Washington in 1897. He had a con
test on his hands. The late Josiah Pat
terson, the father of the preeent gov
ernor of Tennessee, was defeated by

terson concluded to contest. He was
sound money democrat and as the
House was republican he thought he
could rely on the solid republican vote.
Every one else thought so but Carmack.
Not democrat believed he had the
slightest chance to regain his seat. The
day came for the contest to be heard
on the floor in the House. Carmack
took the floor in his own defense and
literally laughed Patterson out of the
contest. His eloquence and sarcasm
won him the right to the seat and to
the surprise of the democrats enough

come the adverse report of the elections

Washington, November 9.-The proposed
revision of the tariff was discussed at
a conference today of Representatives
Payne of New York. Dalzell of Penn
sylvania, Hiss of Connecticut and Gaines
of West Virginia, leading republican mem
bers of the House committee on ways and
means. The conference was preliminary
to the series of public hearings on the
tariff which the committee will hold be-
ginning tomorrow morning.
Mr. Gaines discussed tariff revision with
W. H. Taft at Hot Springs yesterday,
and it Is understood that Mr.. Taft urged
that the committee take such action
as was pledged by the republican party
in it's Chicago platform.
That the committee will draw up
new law to surpersede the Dingley tariff
law, which will carry out the policy ad-
vocated in the Chicago platform. was
today admitted by one of the members.
but is is understood that the committee
has confined its efforts to the considera-
ton of necessary changes in the word
ing of the law in order to secure it's
proper Interpretation. rather than to the
question OF any changes in rates of duty
The latter has been left for consideration
after the hearings have been held.

organizations and other interests have sig

OF RUSSIAN
CRUELTY RELATED

New York, November 9.-Stories OF pat
ties between Russian governmental troops
and the militia organized among the Rus
sian people were told today on the witness
stana by Jan Licit a former neighpor OF
Jan Janoff Pouren, whom the RUSSIAN
government is seeking to extradite. To-
days proceedings We're a continuation Oh
the celebrated case. The witness said he
first met Pouren in connection with a
demonstration against the Russian gov
ernment. The next meeting was on the
eve of battle between the rebel militia
and several thousand Russian regular
troors. Asked why the militia with which
he mad been connected had attacked the
government soldiers, the witness replied:
Because they had taken two of our COM
rades. tied them to horses and dragged
them face downward over the ground"
One of these he said was Otto F'rieberg
The witness described the mutilation Of
Freiberg's body. He also told of five
other bodies that he had seen at the same
fine. One, he said had been terribly
mutlated. or as he expressed it, all
broken TO pieces"
When counsel for Russia demanded why
he mad left that country, the witness said
BECAUSE the Russian government wanted
to hang me, shoot me and was always
after me-"
