The Sensational sapho.

Alphonse Daudet's decidedly sensa-
tional play Sapho, will be presented
at the Majestic tonight and at all the
performances during the remainder of
the week by the capable Readick stock
company which has become SO popular
with Topekans during the past ten
days. Sapho has been the talk of two
continents for years and on many oc-
casions in this country steps have been
taken by ministers and others to pre-
vent it's presentation in several of the
cities of the country.
When Olga Netherso1e announced
some eight or nine years ago that she
intended to produce this piece, some
rather drastic steps were taken to pre-
vent her doing so. but after a consid-
cradle struggle in the courts it was de-
cided that Miss Nethersole could put
on the play as there was nothing in 1t
sufficiently offensive to public decency
to prevent its being produced in a the
alter.
Notwithstanding this court decision.
there have been innumerable other at
tempts at various times and places
throughout the country to prevent the
playing of this piece and some of them
have been successful

ADJUSTMENTS
Howe,s Moving Pictures.

The only phase of life in Holland
that seems inconsistent with the char
acter of Hollanders is their merciless
treatment Of dogs. AS shown by Ly-
man H Howe's moving pictures to be
seen at the Grand on Sunday and Mon
day. the use to which they put their
dogs amounts to positive abuse. Not
only are the dogs compelled to draw
loads to market heavy enough for a
small pony. but they are also required
to pull their master home. Regardless
OF size or breed they are often made
to stagger, under loads until they lie
down from sheer exhaustion. Here
mans most devoted friend and trusty
companion is compelled to lead a worse
existence than is generally understood
by our expression "a Dogs Life"
The other characteristics of the Hol-
lander's life as shown in tfffs series
are aptly described as sedate and COM
placent, vet so quaint as to be almost
antique. Theirs is life of solidity,
stolidity and simplicity.
OF a more sensational nature. are
the pictures showing the dynamiting
of huge cliff in France One hundred
and fifty thousand tons of solid rock
are shown being dislodged by 1,800
pounds of dynamite which was sealed
up with five tons Of cement.
The family life of wild birds at home,
hunting in the Arctic regions, life
among savage Zulus, racing 80 miles
an hour in an automobile, daring horse

great vital interest compose a pro-

1t is difficult to understand why it
should adopt such a suicidal policy, for
it surely knows that the statistics it

1t is but comparatively short time
since efforts were first put forth to
demonstrate the value of forage crops
for swine. Experiments prove that II
is neither necessary nor desirable to
keep the hog confined to its pom and
yard during tho entire year. A part
of its food can be secured from forage
crops, such as rye, alfalfa, clover, sue
eotash, rape, peas, and oats, root chops,
etc. It is desirable to grow some two,
three, or it may be more Of these in
order to produce succession through
out the growing season. The selection
must depend on local conditions as to
the character Of the soil, climate, etc.
In general, the crops will follow in the
order named, though local conditions
may cause some variation. Wherever
legumes such as alfalfa, clover peas,
ETC., can be grown, these should be
included in the rotation as they fur
nish protein more abundantly than
cereal crops, and this is the food nu-
TRENT most difficult to secure on the
farm for balancing the ration.
The value Of forage crops for swine
has been somewhat overestimated in
many cases. There are many instances
in which hogs have been turned out
to Craze upon these crops, receiving

no supplementary food in addition. The
green crops referred to are SO watery
that tho pig cannot consume enough OF
those alone to furnish dry matter for
maintenance and satisfactory growth.
Therefore tho green food secured by
the the grazing pig should be literally
supplemented by grain food. The for
age crops will effect saving Of the
food OF maintenance at least and per-
haps some more, but the increase in
live weight should be furnished largely
by the supplementary feed. This
system Of hog raising is especially we'll
adapted to the growing pig and brood
sows, furnishing them with free range,
fresh air, sunlight and variety of
succulent feed, all of which tend to
produce vigorous constitutions. AS the
pig approaches the fattening or finish
ing period it should be removed from
the green forage and finished on grains
only, to avoid paunchy development
and secure condition Of fairness that
the market demands, as well as an an

necessary to the health of the patient
making the application. But we do
know, and the results in many states
and cities bear witness that the con-
sumption Of liquor and the percentage
of drunkenness can be very greatly
reduced by state or local prohibition.
In closing its communication the
liquor association makes the heart
rendering reference to the license
money the city is missing. The Mer-
camille club states that the amount
received by the city treasury from the
saloons was about $4,000 annually.
and it also estimates that about 81
100000 annually is now saved to the
citizens, which formerly went to tho
saloons. The greatest service the
Courier could do the citizens
of Ottumwa would be to issue a special
edition containing all the arguments
and data that can be furnished by the
Ottumwa Wholesale Beer and Liquor
association, together with complete
reprint OF the publication Of the Mer-
camille club Of Kansas City. Kan that
has been quoted Tho results Of the
comparison would be the uprising Of
the true manhood Of Otumwa, and the
abolition of every saloon and other
source of pestilenttal moral influence
In the city as soon as 1t can be legally
effected.

GROOM JOHNSON
FOR PRESIDENCY
FRIENDS OF MINNESOTA COVER

ADVANCE HIM.
Washington Bureau
of the OttumWa Courier
Washington, D. c., March 81


Governor Johnson of Minnesota has
had way opened to him, which his
supporters believe leads straight to-
ward the democratic nomination for
president. They are urging it upon
him, according to information which
reaches Washington, with great force.
Under the Johnson administration In
Minnesota, the legislature passed a
strong maximum-rate railroad law
which the supreme court of the United
States has just nullified. Here is what
the Johnson people say is to be the
program:
Governor Johnson is to call the Min
nesota legislature at once in extra
session.
He will lay before it message deal
ing with the whole question of rela-
tons between the state and federal
government and courts, in the mat
ter of regulations Of corporations.
pointing out that the whole soverin-
ty and integrity of the states is at
stake.
He will outline amendments in the
Minnesota law which it is believed
will meet the objections raised by the
federal court,
He will force these throughal the
earliest possible moment. Meanwhile
the eyes of the country will be on him
He will be recognized as the leader in
the effort to preserve the states from
decadence. He will make powerful
appeal to every state whose efforts at
corporation regulation have been over.

sue is regarded as q very timely and
effective one In north and south alike
Kansas new railroad law has JUS

gets to the supreme court; Nebraska's
law depends on decision of the

olared that the railroad lawyers have
decided to attack the long-establishee
Iowa law, and that the Hepburn bill

The hackers of Johnson want hin
to make himself the man of the houl
by stepping into the breach and lead

that will doubtless attract much at
tention In Kokomo, and in Kanllakee
and Kalamazoo as we'll Not that
the case brings forth any legal in
tricacies, but because of it's unusual,
and what some might call trivial ma
ture.
The case, briefly, is one in which
Solomon is suing David for $1,000
damages, because, as Solomon in
sists, David sold goose eggs when Sol
onion explicitly stated when he made
the purchase that he was to get hens
eggs. 1t Is easy to perceive that David
attached little Importance to the mat
ter when he made the sale David
sold eggs every day, so it is just bare
ly possible he dismissed the matter
from his mind when he turned the
order over to his wife, for in Indiana,
as well as Iowa, the wife usually has
charge Of the hennery, with a remark
something like this MARY, old Sol
Carter wants a dozen eggs today. If
you haven't any hens eggs give him
some Of those goose eggs. Them
geese have been laying lately He
won't know the difference"
David was not expected to know
that Solomon had often expressed his
aversion for goose eggs and that Mrs,
Carter had always to use particular
care in marketing that she didn't get
goose eggs for hen eggs. So when
Solomon came in person after sec
ond dozen and told how he had en-
joyed those eggs SO we'll he had eaten
five of them for breakfast, David did
not know he was counting lawsuit
when he said: "Yep; them geese OF
mine can lay better eggs than any
hens in Indianny"
Solomon should have kept perfect
ly mum then, instead of starting tc
bully his neighbor There was nc
need for him to admit that he had
been fooled into praising an article OF
diet that he had vowed never tc
taste.
OF course, the provocation was
strong. All of us have seen the time
when we have praised particularly
some dish only to find it was veal or
mutton or something else we had
said time anu a:-.cci'n we never could
force down.
But we try to swallow our chagrir
and force smile, and that's what Sol

played any of the wisdom of his illus
