With TheLegislators

The county officers lobby is much in
evidence again, and a lot of alligator
grips are resting in the various no.
tells. The cafes are doing a good bust
ness and the high ball industry has in
creased a little over the business usual
ly done by the schoolbook lobby and
the lobby of the disinterested persons
who want a public utility bill passed.
And there is a reason for 1t all Rep
resentative McGinnis has introduced a
bill to repeal the grating sheriffs' bill,
and that was sent to a committee of
which John Sweeney, representative
from Crawfords and Perry is chairman,
and the committee has made two re-
ports on it. One for the passage OF
the bill is signed by Representatives
Sweeney, Roggen. Wise. Sticks, Wag-
ner, Kayser and Tomlinson. Those
signing a report for the indefinite post
ponement of the bill are Repres enta-
tive Grieger, Coble, Furnas and Gear
ing. And so the lobby has come tc
town again for the purpose of de-
feating the McGinnis bill, and at the
same time try to prevent the introduc-
ton of bill that will repeal the graft
ing county clerk bill.-Indianapolii

To return $2'for 81, the whole lawe.of

In on their excellentprogram, but as his
friend, the chairman, had asked him 70
speak he would do 80. He was not fa-
miliar with the scientific principles of
Life Insurance, but he did know the
value of people making provision for
those depending on them. The temper
ance question was uppermost in his
mind and it was a pleasure to report
progress. That the Life Insurance Or

medical examination to eliminate people
who shorten their lives by the use of
liquors was source Of qualification to
all interested in he temperance cause.
A. F. Hine, the local secretary said he
felt honored in being installed secretary
for the year. He would like to resign
and give some other member a chance,
but the Supreme Secretary had reap
pointed him. He would say that If any
member would be active in making
members he would gladly relinquish the
position. The meeting would do an i'm

who were preiudiced would only come
out and listen, he was certain they would
be convinced of the soundness of the

Saorilegious."

Philadelphia. Feb. 0.-More than 200
ministers, aided by scores Of civic re.
formers, have started OH crusade to
prevent the production here on Thurs
day night of Richard Strauss opera
"Salome," which, they declare, is "lm-
moral and sacrilegiousp
Church and other religious circles In
this city have never been 80 stirred up
on such n subject before, nearly all
denominations taking part In the
movement. On the other hand, there
is large number Of influential citi-
Zens lovers of music and art who are
indignant at the attack made upon the
opera and are determined to do all
they can to defeat the opposition to its
production.
Several OF the ministerial bodies
adopted resolutions OF protest at their
regular weekly meetings. The Presby-
terians in resolutions voiced their pro-
test for the following reasons:
First, because of its previous condem-
nation both in this city and elsewhere;
second, because 1t Is declared by compe-
tent critics to pander under the guise OF
HlBn ART " tHc iOWcE p2obiOh5 VI
nature; third, because 1t perverts the
gospel narrative and degrades the char
acter Of the forerunner Of Jesus Christ.
The resolutions adopted by the Meth
odist Episcopal preachers meeting de-
clare that 1--WE cannot see how men
and women calling themselves Chris
tians can enjoy this perversion Of the
Scriptures and this insult to decency
by patronizing such performance"
The resolutions adopted by the Lu-
theran clergymen condemn the pro
posed performance as an insult to the
city.
The a. ministers Of the Reformed
church also adopted a resolution of
protest, which was sent to Mayor Rey-
burn. 1t says:
/ We, the pastors of the Reformed church
of Philadelphia and vicinity, do hereby
enter our protest against the production
of the opera "Salome' and call upon the
civil authorities of the city to prevent the
said opera to continue on the ground that
1t is sacrilegious and destructive to the
morals Of the city.
A protest against the presentation
of the opera was signed by Bishop
Mackay-Smith and thirty-one Protes-
tant Episcopal clergymen.
The Congregational ministers also
adopted a resolution calling on the
mayor to stop the proposed perform
ance.
Representatives Of Oscar Hammer.
stein called on Mayor Reyburn and
declared that there was no impropriety
in the production Of the opera. After
the interview the mayor said he would
reserve his decision.
Unless the mayor interferes the op'
era will be presented Thursday night
at Oscar Hammerstein's new opera
house with Mary Garden in the title
role and with the same cast as in New
York. The house was sold out five
hours after the ticket Office opened.
