RAG TIME MUSIC THE PREVENTA-

While ministers of the various

endeayoring to discover the causes Of
the epidemic of divorces, and the

cure that is as simple as he claims
it to be effective All that is neces-

time music into the household The
house where the piano or the pianola
grinds out "tar-ra-ra boom-6e-ay' or
other fayorites of the vaudeville
stage, is the home where sweet peace
sits enthroned over the door and hap
piness and contentment are the
household divinities.

PROTECT THE HOME MERCHANTS

Local merchants, doing business
here all the time, paying and contri-
buting their share to the taxes of
the city, having their homes and
rearing their families here, contribut-
ing as far as lies in their power to
the upbuilding of the community.
should be protected as far as possible
against unfair competition from out
siders. Good public policy requires
this.
Take our fruit dealers, for instance.
They are permanently established
here. Their interests have been
thrown with those of Americas. They
have established themselves in a leg
itimate way in their business, com
ply with every city requirement, and
deserve protection at the hands of the
city government
Out of town merchants have no
right to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to use the streets of Am
CIRCUS for hawking cheap fruits about
at times, to get rid of surplus stock,
or to injure the men regularly locat-
ed here. Having no expenses such as
fall to the lot of the regular mer-
chants in that line, they possess an
unfair advantage in such cut throat
competition. If they succeeded in
driving out the local merchants We
can rest assured the consumers would
speedily have reason to regret it.
The City Council might well es-
tablish an exceptionally heavy tax on
itinerant street peddlers. That would
tend to break up a practice that, if
left unmolested, will speedily grow
into a nuisance and a menace to leg
itimate business interests here. Ev-
cry protection possible should be
thrown around our local merchants,
and a heavy annual tax on peddling
from pushcarts or wagons will do
something in that directions.

Every now and again the theatrical
stage produces sensation-some-
thing new-something out of ordi-
nary-something that marks an ep-
och in the annals of the theatre.
Last season it was THE Merry
Widow
This season it is Frank Molnar's
strange, absorbing, heart-thrilling,
awe-inspiring and yet marYelously
witty play from the original Hunga-
rian, The Devil"
This wonderful stage creation was
sprung upon the New York public by
Henry w. Savage with scarcely any
preliminary booming. 1t was an UNI
known play to the critics. Even its
name was, in a way, misleading, in
asnuch as it suggested the conyen-
tional stage devil with which the
public had from time immemorial
been familiar.
The wonderful cleverness of the
play, the remarkable handling of the
humanized Satanic character, the
soul-stirring, heart-reaching story of
human struggle against temptation,
and the final defeat of the man" and
''the woman" came as surprised
revelation
1t was something new in dramatic
literature.
There was nothing with which to
compare it.
1t stood alone as a dramatic mas
terpiece
The greatest, the most subtle, the
most soul-reaching play of the de-
cade" was the universal press verdict
This declaration of the press was
echoed by the clergy, many of whom
went to condemn, and came away
praising the great moral lesson it
taught.
This marvellous play will be pre-
scented by Mr.. Savage at the Opera
House Thursday, Dec H., with all
| the authors original unique stage
detail precisely as at the Garden
! Theatre, New York with a notable
cast including Campbell Gollan, Adele
Block Richard Thornton, Sadidee
