Blow to Injunction Seekers.

The Kansas supreme court, in a de-
that if a city is stopped from selling
bonds to build an electric light plant
it can recover the depreciation in
value from the persons securing the
Injunction. Clay Center voted bands
to build a municipal light plant,
but the company then operating the
plant stopped the sale of the bonds
by an Injunction. After it was de-
cided that the bonds were legal the
city started to recover the amount
of loss because the sale of bonds was
held up. The district court held
against the city, but the supreme
court reversed the lower tribunal and
ordered the company to pay the city
$3.50.

To Raise Tobacco in Kansas.

The farmers of Atchison county, and
Buchanan county, Missouri, are be-
coming interested in tobacco raising.
They will watch an experiment that is
soon to be tried on the Kansas side
of the Missouri river. A capitalist of
this city has decided to finance the
trial He has given w. H. Berry,
Kentuckian, the use of IL acres of
land a mile south of here, and viii
erect a large tobacco barn an the
tract. The farmers of Buchanan coun-
ty insist that the soil on the Kansas
side of the river is not the kind re-
quired for tobacco, but Mr.. Berry be-
lieves that he will be able to raise a
good crop there. Soon after the Civil
war the farms south of Atchison pro-
duced tobacco of fair quality, which
was used in the making of cigars. At
that time one farmer maintained a
cigar factory on his land and shipped
cigars to Denver and other western
points. The high revenue compelled
the Atchison county farmers to aban-
don cultivation many years ago.

leased. He was the organizer and one

BY w. HERBERT BLAKE

Charles Lambs apology for the Res
toration drama might have been writ
ten for 1.-The Lottery of Love- and It's
French kindred, had Ella been critic
of the nineteenth century stage. Like
Congreve and Wycherly Bisson and
Mars have woven mesh of eccentric
friyolity around the immemorial di-
lemmas of divorce and the mother-ln-
law. The moral-for there is moral
despite the mocking cynicism OF the
epilogue-would appear to be that
man may trife with the marital rela-
tion TO the full extent Of the Nevada
law without visible retribution, but he
can't afford to tride with his wifes
mother. Helpmeets may go, but she
comes back. The ideal of connubial
fidelity may be a mirage to the haZy
vision of the Partisan playwright. The
mother-in-law is rampant fact.
/ say it needs Lambs theory of the
drama to cope with such pIay, be-
cause he is the only critic who ever
found 1t necessary to formulate one
for the emergency. The man in the
street Cby whom | mean every un-
spoiled playgoer) never dreams Of TAX
ing such a play seriously, and it is
we'll for society's enduring happiness
that he does not. Unconsciously with
Lamb, we look upon the figures of
such a mimic cosmos as gnomes, or
elves, endowed with human form ana
a limited understanding, but wholly in
nocent of a conscience. What they do
is no concern of ours, save as it min
listers to our amusement, We are no
more sorry for their misfortunes than
for the sacrifice of the paWns on a
chessboard. They are not moral, they
are not immoral-merely immoral. So
runs the plea.
Of course, strictly speaking, this sort
of defense is as absurd as the misad-
ventures of Adolphus Doubledot in the
play, and the modern generation Of
playWrights are swift to see that 1t
offers them no justification for such
travesties of morality as those of COLI
greve. In adapting "The Lottery of

in all conscience, make his concluding

In the part of the doubly lowered

we'll and held it, appearing at his best
in the swift succession of climaxes in
Act III. AS may be remarked with
equal justice of several other Burbank
ers, Mr.. Desmond is developing the
careless habit of denoting the various
stage emotions by Offering the same
stock assortment of facial masks from
week to week. instead of letting the
situation itself naturally supply its fit
