without qualification that it is the best

locality in which his scenes are laid

his denizens. In his play he has been
careful to observe the verities at all

thrills and throbs with real humanity.
His hero is of real flesh and blood. and

Most of the resourceful managers said
no. The Shuberts said yes. They may

Vaudeville at the orpheum.

From the first act on the bill to the
last, including the kinodrome and or
chestra selections. there will not be

BILL" is the assuring announcement of
Manager Winch. The program, he
says, includes everything required to
make an ideal vaudeville bill. There Is
music, melody, mirth, dancing. aero
bats, MINISTRIES and a comedy sketch.
The program is headed by "A Night
on Household" which is one of Jesse
l.. Lasky's latest and best productions.
The brand of Lasky on any production,
Mr.. Winch adds, has come to mean ex-
cellence in scenic and mechanical eff
fects. sumptuous stage settings, able
and clever performers and new and
novel ideas. "A Night on a Household"
Is summertime singing and dancing
novelty. There are a number of char
acter parts that give excellent oppor-
tunity to bring out much wit and clever
dialogue The leading character is that
of rather foppish Englishman named
Reginald Doubleday. which part is
played by a well known English come
dian, OMalley Jennings. This part is
said to be one of the choicest bits in
vaudeville Two other we'll known peo-
pie have parts, both being daughters of
the famous whistler, Alice Shaw. These
young ladies portray the part of the
Darling Twins. The cast also includes
college athlete. a lisping girl. the
chaperon. college girl. a stunning ath-
letic girl. besides other interesting char
acterS.
Miss Katie Barry makes her first ap-
pearance in any vaudeville house in the
west. She is the famous English char

Horse racing is the third thing in

stable to throw race, and a volunteer
rider TO win it for an honest owner.

voiced actors strive to send the partic-
ulars to the H1ppodrome's distant cor

used in multiple. The dozen horses run
their best on the Slated surfaces, which
are moved forward and backward to
show the shifts of place among the
racers; the fences of the course and the
landscape beyond are sliding panor-
anna to carry out the Illusion; the spec
tators in the foreground are in noisy
commotion and, although the device is
old, the specious verisimilitude makes
IL a new stage marvel.
A half hour of circus and the same
time of ballet are the other things in
the three hours OF the new Hippodrome
show. The Ballet OF the Birds is
pantomimic with the tale of lost child
in forest, where bad birds and good
are bigger than she, and fight to devour
and defend her. The two other Sec
tons of the entertainment are credited
by the program to r. II. Burnside, but
this one is an importation from Paris,
doubled or trebled in quantity. A sin
gularity of the wooded scene is that the
ground slopes at a rather sharp pitch
toward the front, and the action takes
place on this incline. which makes the
view fine and doesn't seem to bother
the performers. A premier danseuse
and a master of the ballet whirl on tip
toes down this descent. the hundreds of
birdie coryphees go through their evo-
lutions on il. and the gorgeously hued
assemblages thereon form beautifully
effective tableaux. Yet the most rap

women birds fiutter down frequently

climax they are flung out on wires in

REPUBLICAN
PLAN RATIONAL.
Noted Financial Expert Advises
Against Inconsidcred Action.
All Glasses Interested in Establish
ing Sound Banking System.

Victor Morawetz. recognized as an
expert upon financial and economic
questions, says the Bryan bank deposit
guarantee plan would encourage wild
cat" banking. These are excerpts from
a recent article written on the subject
by Mr.. Morawetz:
If it were true that the adoption of
this plan would make all deposits in
national banks equally safe and there
by would inspire confidence in all ma
tional bank deposits. as Mr.. Bryan
claims, the plan would prove direct
encouragement to wildcat" banking
and would prove disastrous in the long
run. 1t would enable spectators or
inexperienced persons to form bank
with small capital and to obtain large
deposits on the strength of the guar
anty, by Offering higher rates of inter-
est to depositors than conservatively
managed bank could afford to pay and
they could then use these deposits in pro-
noting speculative or unsound ventures.
They would only risk the loss of the
small capital which they contrib
uted and their individual liability for
an equal amount. If their speculations
should succeed, they would reap large
profits, but if their speculations should
fail and the money obtained from de-
positors be wasted, the sound banks
would have to bear the loss

MISSIONARIES CAPABLE
AND EARNEST
Taft Speaks Well of Mission Work
in Orient.


Reference to the recent 1attering in
terview about Mr.. Taft by Bishop Bash
ford Of the NJ. f. Church in China led
the candidate into a talk of missions
lie referred to a book written by DR..
&. d. Morrison. Of the London Times,
in which the missionaries are criticised
as not being of real use, and sighting
reference is made to Rice Christians"
These, as Mr. Taft explained, are the
natives who are said to pretend to be-
come converts only to enjoy the bounty
of the missions.
My own observations in the Orient"
said Mr.. Taft lead me to believe that
Dr. Morrison's criticisms are not JUS
tilted. The missions are the outposts
of our western civilization in China and
the other Oriental countries, and have
found the missionaries an earnest and
capable lot of people. 1t was because Of
my observations of the good done by
them in the East that our government
established clubs on the Isthmus of
Panama, and put Y. NJ. G. A. secretaries
in charge. We also employed seven
preachers, Protestant and Catholic, who
have built up churches. There are per-
haps 10000 white people and 10000
others brought from the West Indies in
the canal zone. 1t was absolutely neces-
sary that something of this kind be
done to prevent the pernicious effects
of vice, which grows luxuriantly there

Republican Plan rational.


Tho Republican party proposes TO
deal with this banking question in a
rational, conservative manner. Having
regard to the difference between savings
deposits and those commercial deposit
liabilities which are merely bank cred
its created as a means of carrying on
the business of the country, the Repub-
lican party proposes to establish sys-
TEN of postal savings banks so that the
people everywhere throughout the
country can deposit their savings with
absolute safety A proposal has also
been made, and, no doubt, will be con-
sidered by Congress, of authorizing the
national banks to establish savings de-
partments to be managed, under the SUI
pcrvision of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, according to the most approved
methods of managing savings banks.
The Republican party recognizes that
the United States should have the
soundest and safest system of banking
and currency that can be devised, and
to that end Republican Congress has
appointed a national commission. con-
sisting of Senators and Representatives
Of both the political parties. That COM
mission is now considering the subject
in all it's bearings, and after holding
public hearings will make it's recon-
mendations to Congress at the earliest
opportunity.

THE SUPREME COURT.
Choice Of President Will Involve
Far-Reaching Consequences.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown


specify
mot only will the coming election
directly affect the executive branch
OF the government, but 1t is most i'm
portant in its relation to the judicial
branch. Rarely has the choice of Presi-
dent involved more far-reaching con-
sequences, for it is not improbable that
the next President will appoint at least
four judges Of the United States Su-
preme Court. Upon these appointments
will largely depend the quality of the
judicial work Of this great court for
years to come. Congress may pass
laws but the Supreme Court interprets
and CONSTITUTES them and determines
their validity. The Constitution, with
its guarantees of liberty and it's grants
OF Federal power, is finally what the
Supreme Court determines it to mean.
Upon the learning, wisdom and char
acter of the judges of the Supreme
Court rests not merely the lust de-
termination of the important matters
or private right which come before
that august tribunal, but to a very
large degree the course of our po1iti-
cal history and the development and
security Of our institutions. In view of
the vacancies which in the natural
course of events will most probably &C.
cur during the next few years we must
remember that we are about to choose
a representative Of the people to whom
is confided the nomination Of Federal
judges, power second to none DOS
sessed by the President, the exercise
OF which calls for the highest .judg-
ment. If we should search the coun-
try for delegate Of the people who
could be confidently intrusted with this
important duty it is probable that no
one could command higher confidence
than the Republican candidate for
President. Himself a Judge, learned
in the wisdom Of the" 1dw, he CON-
manded the respect and esteem of the
entire bar of the country, without re-
gard to partisan division. By litigants
and lawyers alike it was felt that when
he left his important place upon the
Circuit Court of Appeals to undertake
his difficult duties in the Philippines,
the judicial branch Of the government
had sustained most serious loss And
he has long been regarded as one in
every way worthy to succeed the pres
ent chief justice of the United States.
With his fairness and acumen, with
his wide knowledge Of the bar from
which the judges must be recruited,
with his broadmindednes and demo-
cratic sympathy and his keen interest
In all that pertains to the welfare of
the people, we may be assured that if
he is selected to perform this duty the
interests of the country will be impair

discharge"

II Bryan Should be Elected.

(From the Philadelphia Ledger, Ind. y
Two letters have been received from
readers who touch on the intensely

says that there is "lot Of blather' in
politics. and he would like to know
what the ordinary skilled workman is
to get" If Bryan is elected and what
Taft has to offer"
Those two inquiries embody large
part Of the pertinent question for the
mass Of the nation, and the gist of the
answer may be given in few words
Ii Taft he elected there will be rest, re-
cuperation, confidence and prosperity
if Bryan be elected there will be acute

that the voter who wants to get at the
