CONCERT BY SPANISH ORCHESTRA
First Number of Library Entertainment
Course Given Friday evening

The concert by the Ramos Spanish
Orchestra, the first number on the
Library Entertainment Course for sea-
son of 1909-lO, was given at the opera
house, Friday evening" The house was
filled to its limits by an appreciative
audience, who were certainly given a
rare treat, as few companies of as
brilliant musicians as they, have
wandered this far out of the beaten
track, yet we believe that more of
their kind will appear here
Few solists such as Frederic Irving
have appeared before a Ladysmith
audience. Having been with Nine.
Schumann-H -Heink, the worlds great
est contralto, Mr. Irving needs no in
PRODUCTION and has reputation among
musical people in America and abroad
The solo by Senor Regina was great
ly appreciated, and the violin solo by
Miss Freeman showed her violinist of
no mean ability. The accompaniments
to all selections were almost perfect,
and Senor Ramos is to be congratulated
upon the degree of perfection to which
he has brought his orchestra.
If this first number is a fair sample
of the course to be given this winter,
the Library board ought not to be
compelled to dig down in their own
pockets.

4 STRONG TEMPE RANCE LECTURE
600 People Hear "From the Bar
Room to the Pulpit

Rev. Angus H. Ranton OF Toranto,
Canada, who has been holding special
services at the M. E. church, gave his
temperance lecture, From the Bar
Room to the Pulpit, at the opera
house Sunday night. Although a
stormy night the building was filled to
its utmost, 625 tickets being received
at the door. 1t was the largest crowd
ever assembled in Ladysmith to hear
a temperance lecture, and it was not
composed of women and children
either-the voters were there In force,
and the applause which greeted the
telling points made by the speaker
showed that they were thoroughly in
sympathy with him.
Aside from having been bartender,
Mr.. Ranton haa had such experience
with the liquor traffic as would cause
most men to vow as he has, to fight
it as long as he lives. He Quoted
statistics to show the enormity of the
curse to this nation, but there was
nothing dry about them-in fact there
can be nothing dry about any OF
Ranton's meetings. He compared the
100, 600 Americans going down to
drunkards graves annually to the great
Niagara, with another 100000 moder-
ate drinkers following to take their
places, and 100, 900 boys coming on be-
hind them. Such a procession march
ing as in a parade would require IL
hours to pass a given point, and if laid
side by side in coffins the line OF
graves would be 38 miles long. The
drink bill of the United Strtes would
pay for building four Panama canals
every year. The cost of manufacture
of liquors is only five per cent-the
balance being profit to the retailer,
middle men andl brewer or distiller.
On no other commodity is the profit so
great.
Mr.. Ranton is much interested in
Ladysmjth. He repeated the state
ment, which he hes made many times
during his meetings, that Ladysmith is
one of the worst saloon ridden cities he
was ever in. He promises to speak
here again just before election next
spring.

Special instruction in Drawing

The Training School Board secured
the services for couple of days this
week of Prof. A. H. Porter of Chicago
and long periods morning and afternoon
Monday and Tuesday were occupied by
him in teaching the use of colors in
drawing. The teachers of the city
schools were invited in and the east
room of the Training School was
crowded to it's utmost capacity. Not
only is Mr. Porter an artist of no
mean ability, but he explains in a
thorough comprehensive manner every
step of his work. 1t was great
treat to the teachers and shonld prove
of much help to them in teaching
drawing 1t is possible that Mr..
Porter may return here for the jan
uary county teachers meeting, when
he may be engaged for short time
to give instructio to the public
schools.

First Snow OF the Season

Our fine autumn weather and the
beauties of nature in the woods receiv-
ed a sudden shock Sunday morning,
morning when a wind and rain storm
blew the leaves from the trees and
drenched the earth. 1t was followed
Sunday night by a light fall of snow
and lower temperature. Rain and
snow have fallen at intervals since.
Many farmers still have potatoes in
ground of which some are doubtless in
jured by the freeze. Building operations
have been at standstill most all the
week. In Canada it is reported that the
snow was heavy enough to interfere
with railway traffic.

H. S. PRINCIPAL is CITY SUPT.
State Superintendent overruIes the
Decision os District Attorney

State Superinteudert OverruIes the
Decision os District Attorney
Tt will be remembered that at the
time the common council abolished the
office of city superintendent just before
election last spring, in order to give
the citizens of Ladysmith the right to
vote for county superintendent, that
there was some question as to the
legality of the move. 1t was upheld
by the district attorney, however, who
ordered the county clerk to furnish
ballots for Ladysmith. The result was
not what was anticipated by the insti-
gators of the plan, but that is not an
issue now,
The board of education has recently
received from the state superlnten-
dents office the same construction Of
the law which was put upon it at the
time by all our leading attorneys, viz:
That in case no city superintendent is
provided for by ordinance in cities hav-
ing adopted our system of school gov
ernment, the principal of the High
School is the city superintendent.
Accordingly Principal Gotham is city
superintendent.
In this connection it might be well to
correct the misapprehension, which has
been encouraged by our contemporary,
that the proposed change in our form
of school government, advocated by
the News Budget and championed by
County Superintendent Mackin, is be-
cause of some fault to be found with
any action of the school board County
Superintendent Mackin has always
worked in perfect harmony with the
school board and city superintendent.
He simply believes that the change
back to the district system would be
beneficial and it would.

True Re-appointed Game Warden

H. w. True is receiving the con-

game warden. He jokingly says that
they think more of him down at Madi-

referring to the way he ran or failed
to run for sheriff last fall and again for
supervisor this spring. The only other
applicant for the position in this
county was o. C. Sabin.

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE.
American Woman Figures in Euro
pean Sensation.

Edinburg, Jan. 20.-High society
of Edinburgh and London is conf
by the revelations in the divorce suit
of Stirling versus Stirling, which was
called for hearing today. Mrs. Stirl-
! ing, who was a belle of Washington,
d. c., before she married Captain
Stirling, has named Mrs. Atherton
the famous English beauty, as cores
pOndent in the action against her hus-
band. Captain Stirling has brought a
counter suit against his wife, in which
Lord Northland is named correspond
ent. The proceedings today were Of
a preliminary character, but some
highly-spiced sensations are expected
before the hearing is finished.
There is apparently no chance of
settlement out of court, because Mrs.
Stirling declares that she intends to
ventilate her woes thoroughly and,
If possible, shed full light upon the
beautiful Mrs. Atherton's vivacious
career prior to meeting Captain
Stirling.
Mrs. Stirling is backed up by her
mother. the very determined Wash
ingtonian, who did not hesitate to
visit Mrs. Atherton, the famous Eng
lish beauty, at her London residence
and tell her what she thought of her.
1t is the gossip of Edinburgh that
Captain Stirling, formerly of the
Scots Guards, has told his frienis
that in the event he is divorced he
will marry Mrs. Atherton.

joint session at noon today.
Senator Miller moved the appoint

Chamberlain to address the assem-

and Munkers and Senators Miller OF
Lane, and Albee, were appointed.
Chamberlain, addressing the ses-
sion, thanked the legislators as rep
resentatives of the people for the
great honor conferred upon him and
called attention to the fact that ore
son leads the other states IN the mat
ter Of electing senators.
He said: Let me say 10 you, l
will go 10 Washington as the repre-
sentatives of this magnificent COM
monwealth absolutely unfettered by
any promise to any person or party
| go as a servant of -: me people to
do, as God has given me light to see

those who voted for me because you

pledge to vote for the peoples choice,

shown a magnificent example of de-
termination to obey the peoples will
w.thout regard to party ties. Ore
gOn leads the way in legislation to
secure the right which their repre-
sentatives in congress have denied
them.
1T cannot be said that the law
under which l was elected senator is
either a republican or a democratic
measure. Il was adopted by the peo-
pie in a state with an overwhelming
republican majority. 1t has come to
stay and will stand shoulder to shoul-
der in the senate with the men of all

policies which the president stood for
