High Speculation Bad.

Hon. W.. j. Bryan. One of the
evils of the modern day is speculation
on a large scale. hope the time will
come when instead of continuing our
crusades to petty gambling, we will
turn to the great stock exchanges that
teach men to embezzle money. When
man uses enormous capital to bank
rupt society, as do some of those big
spectators, he ought to be made amen
able to the criminal law. Men who

that they have not had time to collect
them, while men who have collected
have been SO busy collecting

The more partisan portion of
one of the political factions in

shall and will call the legislature
together in extra session. The

These factions prevented legis-

There is no reason to expect that

that the differences would be

Some fellow in Iowa tells the

A fellow writing from Wallace,
in Western Kansas, a few years
ago, used language hardly fit to
grace a boomers booklet of to-
day. Answering correspondent
who wanted information about
that section, he said: "The soil
might possibly make good brick
if manured to proper richness.
To get water the chances are
about equal in boring up or
down." At that time there were
few settlers in Western Kansas
and the wolf disputed with the

systems and dry farming science
have made that fairly well set

Attention is attracted in all
civilized countries to the evils
growing upon the educational
systems. 1t is recognized in all
advanced countries that the ten
dency of the times is to crowd
too much into life. Everything
is done under stress and strain.
Machines are forced to work to
the wreckage limit. Processes
are refined to the utmost in or
der to increase output and to re-
duce the costs of production.
The civilized world is chasing
itself politically, socially, civil
cally, and educationally. The
result is an enormous strain upon
humanity. The individual is
driven hysterical. The commun-
ity or the nation is driven delir-
ious. Men break down under
their own systems of stress and
strain. The young and the very
young suffer along with the old
and the very old.

that deserving workmen may

News of Theatres

"There is no other dramatist on
the horizon of the American theater,"
says Charles w. Collins, dramatic
editor OF the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
whose future work is a matter of
more vital interest than that OF
Charles Ram Kennedy. There is
none OF whom greater things may be
expected; one needs only to consider
1.-The Servant in the House." which
comes to The Kentucky Monday night
to be convinced of that point. The
mans genius Is the most brilliant
that has swan into the ken of Amer
lean audiences. during these lonesome
latter years, and his artistic stature,
measured as yet by a single play,
dwarfs that of the other writers
whose names are figuring in the daily
chronicling of theatrical affairs. His
orbit is outside the nebulous swarm
OF professional playwrights, who with
the possible exception of Augustus
Thomas, may be counted upon TO do
the expected thing. Only one other
dramatist of his type may be found
among contemporaneous contributors
to the American stage, and he Is a
rather elusive quantity-William
Vaughn Moody, author of 1.-The Great
Divide"

that the trousers did not fit or that
they were not of approved style and

But on the fateful day in question
Bremund was ordered to come down
from his bunk and to put on your

sibly IL was manly modesty that ac-
tuated Soldier Bremund-anyhow
whatever the cause. when Bremund
came down from his bunk he had his

Later in the day Lieutenant Colley
ordered Bremund back to his bunk
and told him to take his trousers on
before doing so. BY that time. APP
parently. Bremund had become so
much attached 10 his trousers that he
decided to wear them to bed with
him. Not only that, but to make his
case worse, he turned upon Lieuten-
ant Colley and told him, right to his
face, 81 will take them of when I
get ready"
A court-martial was convened at
Fort Flagler, Washington, to try the
man who had such peculiar ideas re-
garding the wearing of his neither
outer garments, and. although he
pleaded "Not guilty" very strenu-
ously, he was convicted and SEN
fenced.
Now the finding OF the court-mar-
tial has been approved by all of the
