Poor Politics..

No doubt that the foxy person,
United States Senator Charles
Dick, is chuckling in his Akron
eyrie over the Earring jolt that his
successor at the head of the Re-
publican State Executive Commit.
tee got in the defeat of Governor
Harris. 1t rather evens up things
for the overthrow suffered when
Governor John M Pattison pelted
Myron r.. IIerrick to the rear.
That was bad enough, but to lose
the Governor when the state went
for Republican President by 75,.
600 is worse, and therefore the old
leader must smile when he hears
the name of Henry A. Williams.
In the golden days when and Nc
Kinley were at the head Of affairs
Dick used to do business with both
the liquor and the temperance
people at one and the same time.
But he didn't do it openly. The
connection was forty feet under
the ground, and he could substan,
tiate his denial of alliance with
either crowd if necessary. Old
Governor Charlie Foster when he
was dealing with the whlsky-beg
pardon, libera!-element! used to
say: "They can come to our
house, but they must get away be-
fore breakfast before the neigh
bors are up.' That was Dicks
way. He would drop in on the
Anti-Saloon Leaguers on the way
to lunch, roll his beautiful eyes
and deprecate the wickedness of
the Democratic party in associat
ing itself with the forces of King
Alcohol. On the way back he
would chat with the late Joseph
A. Miller or Colonel Carl Hoster in
a convenient hallway and reassure
them that the policy of the Repub-
1ican party was broad and gen.
erOus one. AS result thevarious
Democratic campaign managers
could never get near either the sa-
loon or the church in political
way, and had the daylights ham,
mered out of their tickets. 1t
was Senator Hanna and Governor
Herrick that made the mistake of
openly hooking up with the liberal
element in 1905, or rather before
that. The minute that Hanna
died Dick took to the woods and
left Herrick to be shot in the foot
and taken prisoner by Wayne b.
Wheeler and =. A. Baker.-En.
Quirer.

HUNDREDS OF
1HEATERS CLOSED
Five Cent Attractions Forced
To Stop.

Over 100 of the scent theatres in
Chicago have closed their doors be-
cause of the advance in the price of
films-a little matter of 100 per cent
for the moving picture machines.
These nickle theatres have spread
about Chicago like lights in the city at
dusk, but it is commonly reported
that the manufacturers have effected
a combination strong enough to dou-
BILE their prices at one coup. The
marvellous acknowledgement" ''muto-
scope" "bioscope,'' ''kinodrome," and
other devices have sprung into sudden
popularity and disrepute according to
the character Of their moving pictures,
some of which have been summarlly
suppressed because the patrons of the
nickle theatres are largely children.
Showmen made sudden fortunes from
the inventions but there soon will be
several hundred Of them in this city, as
in all the big cities who will sadly
survey their gilded entrances, their
iron clad leases and their idle equip
ment, and sigh for days and nights Of
crowded houses.

MON HIS BALLOT|NG
DID NOT SELECT
Senatorial Situation in Ken
lucky Is as Bad as at
Beginning.
PLAY THE POLITICAL GAME.
PROHIBITION BILL HAS BEEN
KNOCKED AROUND AS A FOOT
BALL IN THE EFFORT TO
BREAK THE DEADLOCK.
PLAY THE POLITICAL GAME

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 1.-THE Ken
lucky general assembly has ballotted
for exactly a month in an effort to
elect a United States senator to sue
coed James B. McCreary, and today is
apparently no nearer an election than
it was on the day the first ballot was
taken. On the first vote Ex-Governor
Beckham, who had been nominated at
the democratic primaries, received six
ty-sfx votes, Ex-Governor Bradley. re-
publican caucus nominee, siXty-four
votes, while seven democratic members
were scattering and one republican abb
sent through illness. During the
month ill which balloting has pro
ceeded BecKham gained back Senator
Tabb, who voted against him the first
day, but lost Representative klair,
while Representative Denham, who
was Ill, has recovered and is now vot-
ing for Bradley, making the relative
standing of the two candidates practic-
ally the same as when the voting be-
gan.
During the four weeks intervening,
however the limit of politics has been
played by both democrats and repuD-
licans in the effort to secure an ad-
vantage in the race and break the dead
lock. The principal vehicle for charg-
es and counter charges las been a bill
to extend the provision of the county
unit local option prohibition law uni
formly to all counties of the state.
The republicans have charged that
the Beckham democrats have used this
bill as a legislative football.
Make Counter Charges.
On the other hand the prohibition
democrats assert that the republicans
have violated the emphatic declaration
of their last state platform by voting
with the so-called liquor democrats to
delay the bill.
Republicans are supporting Bradley
as a unit hopeful that they may finally
secure enough votes from the anti
Beckham democrats to eject him. Sew
eral leading republican state papers
have suggested that the republicans
make deal with the anti-Beckham
democrats to elect some other demo-
crat than Beckham in deal to secure
a new redistricting act, bipartisan
state boards and other legislation de-
sired by the republican administration.
The Beckham men declare. however,
that in such a contingency he will get
enough prohibition republican votes
to win himself.
When the senatorial pot is at the
boiling point legislation is practically
at standstill. The session is more
than half over. yet but one bill has be-
come a law. and it only provides for Il
