The Precepts Of a
Commercial Age.

The enrichment of the language goes
on with an impetus SO increased that
already the lines of copy-book moral
ity are fading away and are being
supplanted with the fresher expert
ences and ideals of the busy world.
The head of wrecked financial insti-
tuition in New York, admitting his use
of trust funds as collateral for his
own loans, explained: cts wrong;
but it's business" When President
Baer of the Reading railroad voiced
that happy commercial epigram, "We
charge all the traffic will bear" he
wrote a eopY-book line that quite sup
planted the obsolete moral, "Honesty
is the best policy" When Croker, in
reply to the query, ''Where did you
get it?'' responded succinctly, II am
working for my own pocket all the
Time" he contributed commercial
moral precept that has served May
copyists. New languages, ideals and
morals evolve with changing condi-
tiens.
"They all do it,, is. another new
line for the primary writing books,
used in defense OF Thousand different
unethical methods; while Business
is business" IS d shibboleth that takes
precedence on occasions over any,
thing craven in stone Or expounded
by the moral philosophers. Then we
have that memorable retort to the
petty critics by Tweed, "What are you
geing to do about it?" Somewhat
later in the development of the nation
al and political conscience to it's
present stage of high efficiency there
Wbs adopted that moral sentiment,
To the victors belong the spoils. ;"
There's NO politics behind it," has
been long in common use. Quite re-
cent, hswever, in the copy-book ethics
Of the day there was written by our
Charles P. Collins, former sheriff, ga
man is entitled to all he can get in
politics, while it was this very hour
that gave birth to the highest senti-
ment of them all, fitting climax to
volume of choice precepts, 'Let US.
alone"
Thus we have code of morals for
the young that menaces the popularity
OF any framed by Confucius, Moses,
Socrates Or Christ in their turn.
When Confucius was asked in what
words he would sum up his ideals he
said: "Do not unto others what you
would not have them do to you.n
Jesus improved on this appreciably in
responding: "Do unto others what
you would that others should do to
YOU" But the new prosperity asso-
citation, in a grand climateric, sums
up its ethical standard in those
supreme words, "LeU US alone. -

Decided Novelties.

The two magnificent sets of scenery that are used in Adelaide Thurston $ new play. "The Woman's Hour" are both considered decided novelties The first, showing the piazza of a
 colonial house, on a lodge of hill
 in the Berkshires. So well has the
 idea been carried out that the audi
 ence who are supposed to be three
 hundred feet below, are completely mystified. The second act, represents a very beautiful and elegantly fur nished apartment in fashionable. private, residence on Fifth Avenue.

Miss Davis Coming.

<; Florence Davis, who has surpassed all of her former successes this sea-
 son in Henry V. Esmond's idyllic com cdy, Under the Greenwood Tree, will come to the Elks theatre Friday December II ill this piece with a lars- CT and stronger company than ever
 before, headed by Elliott Dexter, and
 with a production of scenery and cos
 tunes that has won the admiration of critics in London and New York. Each
 year Miss Davis comes with a new
 offering, and her standing here is
 cumulative, for each play she ap- spears in adds new laurels to the credit of thi spopular star Miss Da- vis' province has always been com edy of the refined and delicate sort and in this element Under the Greenwood Tree is said to be more prolific than any vehicle she has had in the past. When this play was pre- sented by Maxine Elliott in London and New York last year, it won the warmest praise from the critics. many of whom declared 1t to be still greater success than Esmond's form CT plays.

USED CHICKEN COOP
 FOR A BALLOT BOX

Chicago, Dec. lone of the charges of political misconduct on which the Democratic State Central Committee of Illinois proposes to ask the Legis- lature for recount of the ballots in the Deneen-Stevenson election for governor, is that the judges and clerks of election in precinct in Perry county used small chicken coop for ballot box.
 Into this repository of expression of a free and independent electorate in Southern Illinois, they chucked the vote regardless, mixing up the ballots cast by men and the ballots cast by women the law requiring separate boxes and not specifically sanc- tioning the use of chicken coops for returns.

AGAIN FOLLED

ed smoke, which filled the well OF the
stairway. In the lobby, at the foot Of
the stairs, he found the remains Of
material that had been set on fire,
leaves, excelsior, bits OF sticks, etc.
a portion OF the washboard had been
partially charred Had enough mater
ial been employed or coal-oil added, a
bad blaze would most likely have re-
suited. The fire was clearly incendiary,
but whether general "cusscdness" or
some special motive prompted the
guilty party is hard to determine. The
Payne Block, about six years ago. was
the scene OF dangerous and destruc-
tive fire, which there was good reason
to think was not OF chance origin.
