Wary of Labor Propositions.

Republicans who have taken part in the
platform conferences recently here hesi-
tate TO discuss the probable character of
the planks relating 10 antitrust legisla-
ton. IN the opinion Of good lawyers. the
civic federation bill. introduced in the last
session Of Congress, proposed to legalize
the labor boycott. Congress fought shy
Of this measure.
There is no reason to believe that a
strenuous fight will be made in the con-
vention 10 secure the adoption of a plank
declaring for amendments OF the anti
trust laws. exempting from their provi-
sions combinations in restraint Of trade
that are wholesome in their influences
upon trade and commerce. As the laws
are now enforced. they apply with equal
force TO combinations. whether they are
good or bad.
Taken all in all, the platform Is likely
70 be the subject Of a good deal Of discus
sion at the Chicago convention.

Chairman Hopkins 70 submit it to the

Such is the programme arranged at this
end. The administration bowed grace
fully when the so-caIled reactionaries Sc
lected Senator Burrows as temporary
chairman and Senator Hopkins as chair
man Of the committee on resolutions, but
when II came 70 the platform neither the

Administration followers declare that II
the party's expression on the Roosevelt
policies should be lukewarm in terms. the
national ticket would be put in jeopardy.
On the other hand. a reaction against
radicalism has set in. and representatives

Roosevelt policies the party should be
very discriminating in the language en-

1t is known that Republicans will for
mally go on record for a revision OF
the tariff. and in this connection il is
said that Secretary Taft has thrown the
weight OF his influence 10 a declaration
for free trade between the United States
and the Philippines. As a bid for the
vote OF the cOlored brother, the platform
will declare probably for a reduction OF
the representation in Congress Of those
States which have disfranchised the
negro.

Press Comment.

To add variety and to relieve the
tension in the strenuous life Of "Old
Arkansaw' several good specialties
are presented to further entertain the
audience during the action Of the
play, and no dramatic utterance, or
plucky thwarting of the fendish vii
lain on the part of the hero or heroine
in the regular show, brought forth
more thunderous applause. The play
proper runs along the usual meio-
dramatic lines, and is in the hands of
number of good players, whose sue
cess is plainly and gratifyingly evi-
dent from the encouragement Of the
gallery, balcony and orchestra pit. 1t
must be good show.--the audience
says so, but it is helped lot by those
specialties. Kansas City Journal

Get The Hook"

AT the Star Theatre, last night, a
crowded house greeted the splendid
performance now being given there.
AT 7:45 the doors were closed, so
congested was the house, and over a
hundred people were disappointed in
not being able to gain admittance.
The main attraction was the adver-
tised appearance Of a number of local
amateurs, it being Amateur Night"
None were disappointed, as, when the
amateurs took possession of the stage,
fun was rampant. Hiner & Lynch
were the first to appear and took the
house by storm in duologue, ending
the act with vocal duet. Carl Hogley
gave an exhibition Of wonderful
equilistic powers on two chairs sue
ceeding in performing the wonderful
feat Of standing on the backs of the
two chairs. His dance was considered
marvel. Stanley & Beck presented
an entirely original sketch (original
with some one) entitled "The Haunt
ed House" This is a pathetic play
let, and was ably presented by the
duo of rising stars, though much of
the success Of the production was
due to the able manner in which G.
l.. Beard impersonated the ghost.
