Admiral Sir Arthur Moore, X. c. B., K c. v.
O., c. M. G., who will succeed Sir John Fisher
in October next as the active head of the Eng
lish navy, is sailor who has risen to his pres
ent position by sheer hard work and competence.
He is not spectacular person, like Lord Charles
Beresford or his immediate predecessor, Sir John
Fisher, but he has distinguished himself by al
ways doing the job that was given him in excel
lent shape and without any unnecessary fuss
and noise Patriotic Englishmen hope that his
advent at the admiralty will mark the end of
the petty personal and political jealousies which
have done so much harm to the service recently.

PROPOSES GREAT CANAL

W. J. Botterill, London (England) civil en-.

canal 120 feet wide and 81 feet deep across Eng.
land, from Yarmouth, the naval base of the Brit
ish Isles on the North sea, to the Bristol chan
mel, 240 miles away. The proposed canal would
also have branch to Birmingham an important
commercial city, making it port for seagoing
vessels This section, which would connect with
the main canal at Oxford, would be 60 miles
long.
Engineer Botterill declares the main idea of
the canal to be commerce, but, of course, the

HURLED FROM POWER

With Col. Georges Picquart, alternately
Frances military hero and the target for her
opprobrfum, fate has played a pretty game of
battledore. A bureau clerk with a military rank
and title, he became national character when
the Dreyfus affair was at its height by suddenly
espousing the cause of that officer at the mo-
ment of his greatest unpopuarity. As conse
quence Picquart hated, cursed, threatened
ridiculed. But history moves rapidly in la belle
France and public opinion races between ex-
tremes. After Zola and the courts of last degree
Dreyfus was freed, whitewashed, cheered and
promoted. Upon the national wave of reaction
his friends like Picquart rode to quick popularity.
Eventually it went so far in the latters case as

Ep1fanlo Portea, envoy extraordinary from Ar
gentina, has risen to remark that Americans
could get more trade with his country If they
only had ships sailing from New York or some
other central point to Buenos Ayres. AS it is
now, about the only way that American goods
can be shipped to Argentina is by way of Europe
But four American ships visited Buenos Ayres
in 1908. Despite this handicap, the envoy says,
the residents of his land took nearly $50, 900 900
of American goods last year. The total annual
trade is $600,000, 900.
"The people of our country would like to trade
with America" says Portela, "but as it u.s. the
countries of Europe can undersell yours on
everything except agricultural machinery, which
constitutes the bulk of the $50.000,0 900 business

A Drama Of wOnderfu! Intent.

Most strikingly effective of all the
religious dramas ever presented is
the "Holy City, Clarence Bennett's
powerful and interesting play pic
turing with vivid strength and mas
terly power the scenes and incidents
leading up to the betrayal of the
Master by Judas.
The dance of Salome, the dangh-
ter of Herodias, before King Herod,
is shown as is her successful plea for
the head of the great preacher. Al
ter Johns death events move with
great rapidity and the plotting and
scheming of the high priest and the
Pharisees with Herod are depicted a
well as the giving of the thirty
pieces OF silver to Judas, who prom
lses TO betray Jesus into the hands oi
his enemies.
The presence o. Jesus is, of course
only suggested, but so cleverly is thi:
done that the spectator seems car
ried back two thousand years and
faucies himself an actual witness OF
the great scenes which accompanied
the enactment of the greatest trag-
edy in the history OF the world.
Other scenes depict the CONFUSION
of nature at the moment of the cru
cifxion, the suicide of the remorse'
full Judas and the bringing Of the
glad tidings of the resurrection. The
entire play is drama of simple maj
esty and wonderful interest and /:
presented by company of sterling
players.
"The Holy City" will be presented
at Geyer's Grand Opera house Wed.

Raymond Wells Jumps.

The Raymond Wells Stock com
pany, which had been trying to hold
the boards at the Geyer's Grand
opera house this week, came to
sudden decision to leave town and
throw its engagement for the week af-
ter Wednesday nights performance.
So they flew bag and baggage on the
earliest train to Kansas City Thursday
morning. Well, in fact, they did have
a rather difficult time getting away
with their baggage. OF course the
baggageman charged them excess
just for spite and Mr.. Wells proved
himself to be remarkably good and
economical fnancier by paying said
excess. a pathetic scene took place
at the depot The manager of the
company had miscalculated the fare
to Kansas City by few cents and,
amid weeping and shedding of tears,
his wife finally dug up the requisite
sum from the depths of her pocket
book, When his wife showed her
generosity by offering to lend him
the getaway money, Mr.. Wells, for
moment, was dumfounded and
for a time speechless with surprise
He took it however.

Return Engagement.

"The Holy City," Clarence Ben
nett's wonderfully successfully
Biblical drama, seems destined to
take a place among the classics Of
the American stage. Each year that
it is presented it is witnessed by
audiences of increasing size. Its
popularity does not seem to give any
indication of waning and eager
demands are nearly always made for
return engagement.
One of the reasons for its
tremendous popularity is that it is a
play which makes a universal appeal.
Very few plays do that. Most of
them appeal to distinct elements in
the community. The Holy City"
however, appeals not only to the
faded and satiated theatre-goer,
but to that element in every
community which is inclined to look
askance at the theatre and which
rarely, if ever, attends a theatrical
performance. The figure of Christ
is only suggested and is never in
troduced upon the stage.
The play is staged with lavish
splendor that Is almost barbaric in
its magnifcenre. The costuming is
rich and delight to the eye. The
company presenting the play is
recruited from among the best known
players and is capable and thorough
lily eiicient. "The Holy City" will
be presented at Geyer's Grand
Opera House on Wednesday, April,

Electric Line Talk.

Lexington to consider everything in
the way of an electric line PROPOSE
tion that comes up. Therefore it be-
hooves everyone who can to meet the
representatives of the Kansas City
Southwestern Traction company who
will be here today investigating
local conditions.
There are now three plans for Lex
ington to get line running south to
the G. and A. and ii is proper to con-
slider all of them. A line running
south is what Lexington needs most
now and such a road would boom the
town wonderfully. So let us see
what the Kansas City-Southwestern
has TO offer.

A Quiet Election.

The election Tuesday was of the
tamest variety as far as excitement
goes. The saloons we're not closed
and there was no need of their being
closed. Free booze was non-exis-
tant.
The only contest in Lexington was
between Dan Boyle and Lee Hopper
for the position of councilman from
the First ward. Mr. Boyle was
candidate for reelection. Mr..
Hopper won by a majority of 45. he
is a progressive and intelligent
gentleman and should reflect credit
upon his constituency.
Councilmen Meet, Marrs and Hick-
lin were reelected in their respective
wards without opposition,
Albert Winkler and w. J. Ban
don were chosen as school directors
for the long term and Ed Yingline
for the short term.
The school tax proposition un-
doubtedly carried, 1t was only the
customary increase and no fight was
made against it. 1t is sure that H..
T. Phillips carried the county easily
for school superintendent, though no
official figures are obtainable. Mr..
Phillips is an up-to-date educator
and should prove a great success in
his Office
