The difference between reading
1bsen and seeing Nazimova play
his work is the difference between
travelling rocky trail and a paved
and pleasant street. You go
through probationary period to
read Ibsen; you realize that this
is what you have been looking for
when you first see Nazimova,
which is clumsy way of saying
that her acting is the natural ex-
ercise of a woman who Is natural
ly charming. Without perceptible
effort, even in her use of the new
ly acquired English language, she
puts life and beauty into the work
that wouldn't be there If she didn't
possess it and the power Of CIV
ing it back again. With work
wrought in the color and light that
Ibsen lacks, Nazimova will come
into vast estate in the theatrical
world. She will be able to demon
strate her versatility Wednesday
evening when she plays "Momtesse
Coquette," by Bracco. Last night
she held an audience in several
respects in tense silence, except
for encores, in "A Dolls House."
and tonight she plays the unlovely
but exacting "Hedda Gabler." Ma
zimova's support. is excellent
throughout and her leading man,
George .Tesman, was especially ef-
fective last night.

There is no competition, as

many of their prices are fixed for
them by the manufacturers.
"Of course the senate knows
that the cost of living has in

"They may also know, If they

Dun's commercial report.
This report shows that wages
in 10 years we're increased 18 per

increased AIT per cent. What
could be bought for $72.45 in 1897,
when the Dingley tariff was put
into effect, cost $106.79 in 1906.
The difference between the in

29.4 per cent.
This 29.4 per cent means that

WASHINGTON, June MY

slab engraved Here it les"
Senator Thomas p. Gore Of Ok.
lahoma was talking to me about
his bill to find out whether the
retailer-our grocerymen, meat
men, milk men, shoe dealers and
clothing store keepers, depart
ment store owners and druggists
are responsible for the tremendous
increase in the cost of living dur
ing the past 10 years.
why won't Mr.. Aldrich's COM
mittee investigate your question:"
They wouldn't for the world.
They couldn't stand the facts"
ITO tell you the truth, this
charge against the retailer was put
forth in a moment If recklessness
as desperate effort to shield the
manufacturer who is charging ex-
tortionate prices, under the pro-
lection Of the tariff Mr.. Smoot
of Utah and Mr.. Flint of Califor-
MIA made the charges.
"Mr. Flint says that the in
creased cost Of living is due to
extortionate prices charged by the
retailers and department store
owners.
II couldn't sit silent and let
this charge stand. These hard
work, thrifty storekeepers of the
United States ought not to be held
up as a shield to protect the tariff
fostered trusts.
AFTER this charge was made ]
demanded that 1t be investigated
and either retractei or proven
true.
II know the charge is ridicu-
lous. Since l spoke in the senate
on the matter and proved that
some of the factories of New Eng
land paid as much as 81 per cent
dividends, ! have learned some
new facts about how little the re-
tailers have tosdo with increases
in cost and with the prices they
charge the public. B
Manufacturers of standard
clothing tell the merchants at
what price they must sell. Shoe
manufacturers dc. the same thing,
Makers OF collars also set the
merchants prices and shirtmak-
ers do the same. Makers of food,
soap and groceries follow the
same method. The storekeeper
must charge the price they name.
If he does not they will not allow
him to sell their goods.
HE is helpless, and it is ridicu-
lous to charge him with increas-
ing the cost of living.

to watch him go. Half way down

the little EMPOWERED dwelling, he
backed his big motor carefully into
the thicket between two trees

more for that purpose, drew the
green screen close again to conceal

afoot. He could not intrude furth-

he should deny himself glimpse
of it from the shore at safely

Appeasing his conscience by

the tangle of underground in the
thick belt of trees till he came sud

with the wide waters of the bay
lying blue beyond it. And at the
same instant the faint, far echo
of a most plaintive melody thrilled
his attentive ears.
He stopped and hearkened, his
pulses hammering. The tender
notes which swelled and ebbed on
the uncertain breeze came from
no birds throat. Someone was
singing. someone hidden from
sight behind the sandpit that form
ed one horn of the half-moon
sweep of shore on which he had
emerged. The bungalow lay un-

between 1t and the singer.

that any such trespass would be

assumption of all the innocence at
his command toward the low ridge
which shut him in on that side.
And crossing 1t, absent-mindedly,

share in the profits as well as the
purse. 't.
Influence is being brought to
bear on Johnson to get him to con-

son objects, the deal probably will
be off. Johnson dislikes Jeffries
and Berger. He is very friendly
to Coffroth, and may insist that
Coffroth get the match, as Coff-
roth is the highest bidder outside
of the syndicate.
