TIE PASSION PLAY OR
THE LIFE OF CHRIST

This production is of Il religious
character. To the church we must 20
for the origin of the drama In the
middle ages when form became symbol:
ical, all the wisest said dramatic
beginnings were nurtured. In the early
church the Bible stories were made
realistic. These plays commonly
known as Morality, Miracle, Mystery CT
Passion Plays are of the past You will
witness one of the best known of all
the productions of the stage and yet one
about which less is known than of any
other. The Passion Play is known in
every land, in every nook, and corner
in the world. 1t is the privilege of few
to witness the original production of
the Passion Play at Oberammergan and
so weihave secured at great cost and as
a special favor at this time a reproduc-
tion after Pathe in artistically colored
effects
1t is in u remote Bavarian valley that
the last of all these dramas still exists.
During the summer months of every
decade it is witnessed every Sunday
and Monday by about quarter of IL
million people. Five hundred years
ago some drama of ithe life of Christ
was performed at the same place.
About $50 years ago a plague was
raging in Bavaria and in the little
secluded mountain village of Oberam
morgan IL hundred people had perished.
Accordingly the terrified survivors
made a VOW that if their town were
spared all further ravages of the disease
they would thereafter every ten years,
portray in a dramatic form for the
instruction of mankind the story of
Christ's life and sufferings
Apparently this VOW was heard, for
the plague at once abated and the vii
layers true To their promise have every
ten, years for nearly 300 years past, por-
trayed: the life of Christ in this dramatic
way. The costumes, makeup, attitude,
bearing and general character of each
scene, is in imitation Of old paintings
and engravings and very like the works
of the masters. When you look upon
the passing scenes On the serene you
are Witnessing the reproductions of the
masterpieces of art posed for by the old
time citizens Of Oberammergan. The
seven hundred actors are poorly paid,
as the majority of the money received
goes into the improvement Of the theatre
church. and village endowment. Large
sums of money are repeatedly offered by
European. and American players for
their services in foreign lands, but they
have repeatedly declined the offer, their
purpose being not mercenary gain but
religious duty.
How simple peasants can understand
and represent with such skill such a
stupendous subject as the Passion Play,
is mystery to all who attend.
In the rendition of the play tableau
of Old Testament characters and events
is introduced before each important
scene to symbolic and typify what is
to follow.
The next production of the Passion
Play at Oberammergan will he in 1910
from May to October. Hither party
of fifty people from Elko have already
arranged to make pilgrimage.
Those familiar with the Bible history
will recognize the Biblical characters
and events as they are portrayed in the
hand colored representation at the NOV
ing picture show, next Friday and Sat
nrday nights.

Management of the Convict Road Force

AS a rule, 1t has not been found
economical to work convicts on the
public roads when the squad consist
ed OF less than eight or ten men. 1t Is
customary to have one guard for each
ten or fifteen men, and, Of course, this
one guard would be necessary even
were there only one or two men in the
squad. in addition to the guards,
there is usually n superintendent Of
the work: consequently this work is
carried On most efficiently when the
road force or camp contains from
thirty to fifty men. When the num-
Der of ccnvicts to be employed on the
roads in ny county is more than flf-
ty or sixty, 1T has been found better
to divide the force into two squads or
camps, each having it's own local sup
erintend,ant and guards. and both
squads managed under the general
supervision Of the county superinten-
dent Of roads. he in turn being respon-
sible to the county court or board of
county commissioners.
1t is usually urged against this
system Of road building that 1t offers
too many opportunities for the escape
of prisoners. Experience In many
counties, however has shown that the
average annual escapes amount to less
than two per cent, and the few who
do escape are recaptured within day
or two. Often the prisoners assigned
to the roads are men who live in the
community and have families and
some property there, and consequently
do not care to leave permanently;
hence they rarely attempt to escape.
Such prisoners as show a desire to
escape, or, who, in the judgment of
the superintendent are men liable to
make an effort in that direction, are
usually required to carry ball and
chain, which, while it makes it i'm
possible for the prisoner to run rap
idly, does not seriously hamper his
movements in the regular road work.
On the other hand, the convict who
does his work faithfully and shows
himself worthy is often rewarded by
receiving generous treatment
Morning and evening the prisoners
are marched along the road from and
to their temporary quarters, which
consist usually of either heavy, large
tents, portable houses on wheels or

The city OF Tucson, with its immense
railroad payroll and intense business
activity. looks good to hum. So ii

In January, 1907, the minimum tem'-
perature at Tucson was %, six degrees
below freezing. The maximum was so

Some days ago little pamphlet was

Farmers Institute to be held at the

the fashion Of such pamphlets, there
were number Of advertisements, and
among them the following:
I'VE have sold to the grandfathers
and grandmothers; we have sold to
the fathers and mothers; we are now
selling to the Sons and daughters of
their children. For five generations
we have been selling to the good peo-
pie of Coon Rapids and vicinity, and

THE ALDRIcH "IoKER."

John MacVicar, Des Moines, secretary
Of the National League of American Mu-
inequalities. declares that the passage
of the Aldrich financial bill which is
scheduled to come up for consideration
in the United States senate February
10, would open the opportunity for
civic improvement to every lnunicipal-
ity in the country. He says that in
ability to dispose of municipal bonds at
reasonable figures is one thing that for
years has deferred public improve
ments. At present financiers are de-
manding too great interest and Of
fering too small premiums and are so
critical that it Is next to impossible
to sell municipal bonds He says the
recent sale of the Des Moines city hall
bonds, worth a quarter Of million,
was remarkable in view of present
conditions. The Aldrich bill would
make municipal and county bonds
collateral for banks, in cases Of en-
Urgency, to deposit with the govern
ment for the issuance of currency to
this amount Of ninety per cent their
face value, just as government bonds
are now deposited for issuance of cur
rency..
Mr.. MacVicar omits the Joker" So
far as municipal and county bonds are
concerned. Mr.. MacVicars' argument
will commend itself. The difficulty
with the Aldrich bill. like most bills
introduced by corporate representa-
tives, lies in the joker and in the AID
rich measure the joker is the addition
Of railroad bonds. The bill makes
state, municipal and railroad bonds"
collateral. SO far as state and mu-
nicipal bonds are concerned, they are
of the safest class of securities. Invest
ors of the Russell Sage type buy them
and lock them away as an investment.
They are not the sport of the stock
market. Their market is assured They
are staple When Aldrich wedges rail-
road bonds in with these he is simply
making Il market for railroad bonds,
a class of securities that need a mar
ket and need it badly

structures either of wood or CORFU
gated iron, built in sections so they
can be easily taken to pieces, removed,
and set up again. In order to facilitate
their being safely guarded during the
night without too great risk and ex-
pense, each prisoner. when he goes to
bed, has either one foot or one hand
fastened loosely to a chain or rod,
from which he can be easily released
the following morning. The beds or
hunks for these prisoners are easily
and cheaply made comfortable and the
comfort Of their temporary quarters
is improved during the summer by
ample ventilation.
The cooking and washing of the
camps is usually done by some trusty
male convicts. especially experienced
in these directions, or by the female
prisoners. or in still other cases by
hired labor. The carrying of water.
along with other similar errands, is
usually assigned to the younger pris-
oners, or such as may not be suffi-
GENTLY strong for the regular work on
the roads. Isolated jobs are usually
assigned to certain prisoners who,
good characters, are considered safe for
carrying on such work without the
immediate supervision of guards, and
such prisoners are commonly known
as the TRUSTEES" of the camp.
The work of road building is usu-
ally extended to distance of one or
one and one-half miles in each direc
ton from the camp, and the camp is
then moved a sufficient distance, so
that two or three miles Of additional
road may be built before a second
removal becomes necessary. The work
done by these convict road builders in
cludes almost every variety of man
ual labor necessary in this connec-
ton. Thus. in counties like Mecklen-
burg, N. c., where considerable eff
cheney has been reached in macad-
amizing, they drive the teams, handle
the shovels and picks, ride the road
machines, quarry stone, run the en-
gines, and operate the stone crushers,
and occasionally the great steam roll
ers They spread the gravel or brok-
en- stone, and in still other counties
they mix the sand and gravel or clay,
and give shape to the road surface.
