ssThe Beggar Prince.

Will be the attraction at Royal hall
October 3d. 1t is characterized by bril-
liant music and gorgeous ensembles,
while the comedy element is best de-
scribed as '1whirlwind of merriment. I"
1t is presented by an exceptionally
strong company both as regards acting
ability and vocal attainments.
The story of the playis an interesting
one and possesses sufficient probability
for an entertainment that is presented
for laughing purposes. The brilliant
costumes, pretty girls, catchy music
and songs without number, please both
eye and ear and combine to make de-
iightful entertainment. The company
is headed by Miss Eta Merris, a come
dienne and soprano of much reputation.
The comedy. element is almost omni-
present and scarcely minute of the
three hours entertainment being devoid
of a laugh-and the absence of any
coarseness is a marked feature of the
entertainment.

GOVERNOR DAVIDSON faces rare OPP
portunity to serve the public in an ex-
ceptionally satisfactory and profitable
manner-by not convoking the legisla-
ture in extraordinary session. No ade-
quate warrant exists to burden the tax
payers of Wisconsin with the great and
relatively useless expense of such a
meeting. No suffering whatever is felt
because bank deposits are not guaran-
teed or because water powers shall
chance to remain for while longer in
the same general condition that so far
has not seemed to operate to the mark
ed ruination of the commonwealth, or
yet because the imposition of industrial
insurance is held in allegiance. General
contentment is as prevalent as may be
hoped for even if an income tax is not
levied at once or revolution of the ed
vocational system of the state deferred.
Good roads are strong popular de-
mand,. it is true, but a short twelve
month till the regular session opens
cannot greatly deepen the ruts or ruin

son Democrat.

Mr.. BRYAN's bank guaranty fad is
likely to make the trouble for Okla
homa which had been predicted. Nearly
all it's state bank guaranty fund has
been exhausted in paying off the de-
positors of the suspended Columbia
Bank and Trust Company of Oklahoma
City. If another bank should fail now
the difficulty for the state would begin.
And as bank suspensions, like other
disasters, have a habit of coming in
punches, some of the Oklahomans are
fearing the worst. The crisis, too,
comes while the Wisconsin legilation
committee was in the state getting
pointers on the working of the guaran-
tee law.

FORMER Gov. w. d. Hoard, state
university regent, in an address before
the convention of Wisconsin city super
intendents of schools, declared that the
high school is the most important edu-
cational institution in the state and
should meet the requirements and sup
ply the needs of the community in the
freest and most effective way and not
be dominated too much by the univer-
sity and normal schools. Since there are
nearly 800 high schools in the state and
only one university and eight normal
schools, and since but small proper
ton of high school students ever go be-
yond the high school, he felt it impor-
tant that high schools should be con-
ceived and conducted with that fact in
view. In short, his point was that the
greatest good to the greatest number
should be the aim.

A DISPATCH from Madison

A DISPATCH from Madison says: An
epidemic of ''third term-itis" has
spread over the capitol, having attack
ed all save one of the present elective
state officers. The governors infec-
ton is mild and is due to persistent ex-
posture in the form of urgings of
friends. Secretary of State Frear has
not yet admitted publicly that he is
afflicted, but the symptoms are unmis-
taxable. State Treasurer A. H. Dahl
has the disease in well developed form
and is no longer innoculated with the
germ of gubernatorial desire. Insur-
ance Commissioner George E. Beedle
is sorely stricken with this baneful
hold-on-for-ever disease, so much so
that he recently fell out with his dep
uty, H. L. Extern, and practically fired
that youth from the department. Frank
L. Gilbert, attorney general, is willing
to step out with his two terms, but will
not retire from politics, for he will en-
gage Congressman John M. Nelson in a
fight for the second district congress

No PRESIDENT ever made a truer
statement than Mr.. Taft-that there
are too many lawyers in our legisla-
lures. He made this point in his very
forcible address in behalf of so simpli-
flying legislation that justice may be
Any proper method that will secure
such reform in court procedure is most
needed and will be most welcome. But
it is encouraging to have the president
of the United States back up our posi-
ton against preponderence OF law
yers in politics and legislation. Farm
ers and business men are more needed
than lawyers as leaders in civic affairs,
especially in state and national legisla-
lures. This fact is so apparent that it
is needless to use more words.

IT is just little amusing to witness
the venom with which a number of
journals claiming to be party papers
assault the republican president of the
United States because Of positions
taken in his visitation to the west. Pos
sible that it may be the system best
calculated to keep a party together,
and possibly the average country editor
may be better posted on governmental
affairs than the brilliant and honest
President Taft. There is certainly room
to doubt both propositions. Looks some
what as if these same editors are at
tempting to out-Herod old Herod in
free-trade doctrine. The republican
party has never been and is not likely
to be free-trade party or fall bodily
into the embrace of free-trade demo-
crazy Vernon County Censor.

a large number from Ely went over

for Winton, the latter losing a we'll

The Aurora boys stayed over the
next day to give Winton a chance
to redeem themselves but the score
sheet on that day showed 10 to 9
in favor of the visitors. The sports
and races at Winton were pulled
off according to schedule.
The Ely Committee has some
money left over and the suggestion
is made that it be held until Labor

could be pulled off. The sugges.
ton meets with the popular favor
of all the donors of the cash and no
doubt it will be acted upon.
