FANTASY
AT THE AMERICAN
Barrie's Play, "The Professors
Love Story to Be Given
with Bacon as Star

Frank Bacon begins the second week
of his engagement at the American
theater this afternoon in the title role
of J. NJ. Barrie's beautiful play. THE
Professors Love Story. The comedy
drama will be remembered as that in
which E. S. Willard starred for several
seasons with great success.
All Of Barrie's delightful sense for
fantasy is brought into pretty play in
THE Professors Love story and the
quaint characters which develop the
story are types OF lovable and inter-
esting nature.
To the desk of the professor, against
which the sedate and learned man sits.
there flutters one day, a butterfly sort
of a maid. OF course. he falls In love
with her as anybody would have done.
It happens, however. that there is a
wicked young widow who has schemes
and plots-of her own and she manages
TO tangle the issues of the story into
a bewildering mess Out of the COM
plications the professor energies with
credit and the denouement is delight
fully contrived.
The play has been one of Bacon's
best successes. Louise Brownell will
be seen in the role of the secretary.

MIR. Lightfoot's first act at the re-
opening of the riot trial yesterday
was to heap vituperation on the
newspapers. His only reason for so
doing is the fact that the majority
Of them have opposed the methods
of his Japanese clients in the con-
duct of the defunct strike, and the
first personalities were started by
Mr., Lightfoot at the institution of
the riot case. At that time he at
tempted to tell the jurymen that
newspaper reports of the strike were
false. and the Blu letin, partic-
ularly, was the object of his attacks
because 1t was the foremost in criti-
cising Makino's circle. Should. ev-
cry lawyer whose case is opposed by
the newspapers invent slanderous
and libellous facts" about II. u
court room would be little better
than comic opera. Mr.. Lightfoot's
attacks yesterday We're more definite
than heretofore, and he virtually
accused the Blu letin of printing
garblcd reports. II Is easy to place
such charges against newspaper
that Lightfoot evidently is attempt
ing to burn at the altar of iury's
favor. 1t is lamentable, inasmuch
ms the Blu letin won't burn in
this way, having decidedly good
conscience, and willing to place its
reports of all the strike trials be-
side the transcripts of the same and
apologize meelily to the eminent at
torney for any discrepancies be-
tween them.

Among the data that will be sub

the Portuguese immigration and the
results as prepared are expected to
go long way in showing the ad-

considerable light on general labor

AMERICAN FARMERS IN CANADA.

What would happen in Hawaii II
an official should state that an
American farmer knew more about
land and cultivation than govern
ment experts?
Might not some of the oracles fall
dead? And isn't II certain that a
row of Kamaainas would rise up in
their wrath and sneer?
Such statement has been made
of the American farmer by the Ca
madam Minister OF Public Works.
Returning from tour of inspection
OF the Canadian West this official
especially lauds the work of the
American farmers who have settled
in Canada. He notes especially the
province of saskatchewan, where
American farmers have brought to
"a highly productive state large
areas of land which few years ago
had been declared unfit for cultiva-
ton by the Government experts.
These men have come from ter
ritory In which similar dry condi-
tons prevailed, and they had turned
their knowledge to such good ac-
count that land which they had
bought for 81 or SO an acre was to-
day valued at from $40 to $40 per
acre. At Dundurn, for instance, one
American farmer expected $4,000
bushels of wheat from two sections,
while another anticipated $4,000
bushels from 1000 acres sown to
wheat.
During the first three months OF
the fiscal year ending with June,
1916 persons entered Canada as
per cent over the same period last
yea. From Great Britain and the
Continent the arrivals numbered
4f,212. falling of of Is per cent,
as compared with the like period OF
last year. During the same time,
however immigrants from the Unit
ed States numbered 1924, an in
grease OF 1857, or 81 per cent.
The American immigration to Can
ada was 10000 last year, and prom
ises to reach upward of 10000 dur
ing the present fiscal year.
While Canada Is thus becoming
rapidly Americanized, our own peo-
Pic are given demonstration of the
, fact that Americans have lost none
of the pioneer spirit. They will
migrate II given the opportunities
OF white mans country"

SEPTEMBER 0, 1909

deliver himself of few words on
the new federal corporation tax.
In recent number OF the new
Democratic Monthly published by
Norman L. Mack in Buffalo, Mr..
Parker says:
But few days ago, Mr.. Corey,
the president of the United States
Steel Corporation, returning from
Europe, hailed with approval the
tariff bill containing the corporation
tax, In which his departing associ-
ate - Judge Gary - heartily join
ed, adding thereto the prediction
that now we will enter upon a pc
Rod of great prosperity
Naturally, the small corporations
engaged In honest business prose-
cuted in obedience to law, do not
look kindly on THIS 'attespt to add
to their burden of taxation.
1T is otherwise, however, with
the great combinations in restraint
of trade. which seek TO dominate so
many fields of ehdeavorc They wish
to be let alone, and to that end seek
even at the cost of In
reased taxation and continued po-
litical contributions.
To some writers the statute APP
parcntly seems entirely innocent of
Il purpose to trespass upon the pow
ers reserved to the states and to the
people. II appears to me, on the
contrary, but another step in the
carrying out of carefully devised
IN of Capitalization of power in
the federal government"
Mr.. Parker has Undoubtedly been
used as mouthpiece for Democra-
tic doctrine, but he appears rather
ridiculous In the role of critic-in-
chief of great corporations. II there
was eyer a creature of the Ill
smelling great corporation crowd
Parker as the candidate of "Conser-
vative Democracy" was one. His
comment would be more effective II
presented AS the view, for publica-
ton, Of one of the family.
There may be some merit in COM
plants against Capitalization of au-
thority, but the record of so many
financfrs has been such; they have
used the division of authority to as
sist them in so many dishonest oper-
ations, that the criticism offered by
their agents sounds like the plant
of thief whose business is threat
ened.
