The true underlying issue in the
presidential campaign has been in
dicated WIKI peculiar distinctness by
President Roosevelt's Secretary of
War, Luke e. Wright, in speech in
behalf Of Mr.. Taft. Speaking at
Terrace Garden, New York, on the
18th, as reported in a Taft paper, the
Chicago Inter Ocean, of the goth,
secretary Wright said Mr.. Bryan
had on several occasions declared,
that the President of the United
States is merely the hired man Of
the people. While such a state
ment may tickle the groundlings,'
the secretary said, 1T makes the
righteous grieve." In no proper
sense, the secretary added, is he the
hired man Of the people, He then
outlined the power of the president
in an endeavor to show that the
president Is not a hired man but the
chief ruler of the people. In many
respects he is vested with powers and
duties as large as most sovereigns,
and, in fact, may affect the fortunes
and future of his people to a de-
gree equal to that of most of the
crowned heads of the civilized
world
Here we have clear cut discrim-
of war criticises Mr.. Bryan for re-
garding the president as the head
servant of the people; he asks votes
for Mr. Taft because he sees that Mr..
Taft stands for the doctrine that the
president is not the head servant
but that head master of the people.
The meaning of the two candidates.
could not be better expressed. Mr..
Taft is of aristricratic temperament,
tendencies, and spirit; and de-
mocracy looks upon public officials
as servants Of the people. A master
or servant, that is what the people
OF this country will vote for next
mOntn, ana one or the other Will be
elected. There is no third choice.
They will vote for William H. Taft,
who has never held an elective Of
flee and was prepared for admins
trative functions by appointment to
the Philippines as ruler of the peo-
pie and not their servant; or they
will vote for William Jennings Bry-
an, who has been twice chosen to
elective office and whose preparations
for administrative functions are of
the kind that would make him the
servant of the people and not their
ruler. Between these two will the
choice of the people be made, and the
one they deserve is the one they will
get-a public master or a servant.

BOYER WON SECOND RACE
At COLISEUM LAST NIGHT
Mitchell and Boyer Are Now Tied
Deciding Contest Will Be Run /.
g. Tonight

The second contest of the three
races between Harold Mitchell aud
Clio Boyer of this city for a purse
of $25 was pulled off at the Coliseum
skating rink last evening, Boyer
winning the event.
Boyer gained from the start and
at the end of the fourth lap had
secured a half.lap lead on Mitchell
and holding his position just behind
the latter until the sixth round when
Mitchell's skate became loose and
he dropped out, claiming that Boyer
had fouled him on the turn. The
judges decided against Mitchell and
declared that Boyer had won the
race.
This gives the boys one race each,
Mitchell having won on Tuesday
evening.
To satisfy the audience, Boyer
and Mitchell gave an exhibition race.
Boyer easily took the lead at the
start and held it until the tenth lap
when Mitchell passed him, the latter
finishing the twenty-five laps ten
feet to the good.
Boyer did not appear to be work
ing his hardest and was evidently
saving himself until tonight when
the final will be pulled off. The
race this evening will be fine as the
contestants are now tied, each hav-
Ing secured one heat.

has the largest nugget ever taken
from the ground in Klondike. 1t
was taken out this fall, and Mrs.
Henderson has the honor of having
dug it up herself. The nugget weighs
20 pounds and is nothing more or
less than a giant turnip, grown in
the Henderson garden at their home
IN ooutn Dawson. The turnip looks
in size more like a pumpkin. 1t is
sound and has the peculiar quality
Of being tender and delicious to the
extent that can be secured only in

open Mrs. Henderson would send

is, she will slice it and have turnip

Judge of Probate,

Monte Cristo" is an old play taken
from n of the greatest novels ever
written and it is sure to be pleas
ing if played by a company with any
merit whatever. So 1t was no sur
prise that the Fred C. Conrad COM
pany with W.. H. Lemle in the lead
ing role made an excellent impress
sion last Saturday evening at the
opera house.
The greatest fault with the per-
formance was the long waits between
acts. 1t was nearly midnight when
the last curtain went down. The only
other shortcoming of any Importance
consisted of the inaccurate proEun-
citation of French words. Monsieur
suffered mostly, being generally pro-
nounced "Mooseer."
But the faults were trifling. The
players were all excellent and read
their lines more distinctly, probably,
than any other lot of actors that
have been here this season. Owing
to the limited number in the com-
pany a good deal of doubling was
necessary. A clever piece of work
in this particular was that of Miss
Estelle Democrats, who appeared as
La Careonte, first a middle aged
woman and then as comparatively
old woman. In the last act she played
the part of Albert de Morcerf, a
young boy. And she handled both
parts well.
Gilbert Tossick in the role OF Cad
erousse was fine. He made a most
natural drunk and also read the
heroic passages in telling fashion.
The bulk of the work fell upon w.
a. Lemle. AS the young sailor, Ed
mond Dantes, and afterwards in the
TTaTf0d5 DISCUSSES winch ne assumes to
wreak vengeance upon those who have
wronged him he displayed versatility
to an extraordinary degree. He was
least pleasing in the first act, in
which his love-making was a trifle
oyerdone, and most pleasing in the
fourth. His impersonation of the
Jewish peddlar in the third act.
though, was exceedingly artistic.
The scenery was good. The stormy
sea scene was put on the way James
|O'Neill used to have it.

The Sweetest Girl in Dixie.

A fair sized audience last Friday
night witnessed the production of
The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" at the
opera house, and every one present
seemed satisfied. Many plays have the
first act better than the following: but
THE Sweetest Girl in Dixie after
rather a dull opening develops some
intensely interesting situations and
holds the attention until the final
curtain. The story of the play is
after the stereotyped romantic
drama" pattern. We get the poverty
stricken father with the beautiful
daughter, the heartless gentleman
who holds a mortgage on the house
and wants to marry the girl, the
hero-this time in the form OF a dis.
tant cousin-who lifts the mortgage
and gets the girl, two negro charac
tiers and an old maid. Such a play
II well acted always pleases and the
actors in this company are by no
means a bad lot, No one of them is
quite ready to star at the head of
his or her W company next season,
but they are all young and very con-
scientious in their efforts. They had,
too, a pretty good idea of what was
expected of them.
Geo. J. Stanley as the convent
ional colonel was very unpromising
in the first act, but he was better in
the second and in the third did some
really high class acting. Will Smith
and Miss McNutt as the characters
made good with the gallery, so that
the habitues of the upper story were
repeating the lines of the play on
their way home. There was not a
sorry member in the entire cast.
