RAPIDLY ACHIEVING DISTINCT
ION AS COLLECTOR OF MA
TiCNAL CLAIMS.
Has Brought Central and South Amer
lea to Halt In Matter of Running
Up Big Bills.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Secretary
Knox is rapidly achieving distinction
as a collector of bad national debts.
For the first time in many decades
Central South American countries who
have gone gaily On making history
without giving much attention to of
fee details are beginning to look back
over the files to see whether or not
there is anything owing American citi-
zens. If there is, it is to be expected
that new statement will be forth
coming from Washington with the
pOstscript-"Please remit. Knox"
For this reason there is apprehen-
sion among the delinquents. IT, old
familiar defense that the United States
is disturbing the peace of these ma
lions and bullying them into paying
questionable claims no longer serves rs
a shibbOeth for the hapiess Cnes. The
United States is the most patient Of
creditors. Nor can the cry that it is
preparing to swallow up the smaller
countries find response Former sec

SECRETARY KNOX
FOR BAD DEBTS

retaries Of state nave gone to great
lengths in assuring the Latia-Ameri-
can republics that the United States
has no desire to add to it's outlying
territories. The course Of action fol-
lowed in Cuba set the seal on this
policy.
So earnestly was this program of
persuasion carried out, that some Of
the republics grew very careless, feel
ing that the United States would not
mar that splendid design of Pan
American Progress by taking up a pal
try claim of million or two on behalf
of some American citizen who had
been Ousted from concessions or run
out of country after his property
had been cOnfscated.
There came q time for discrimina-
ton and Secretary Knox discriminat-
ed He singled out Nicaragua first as
the most conspicuous of the countries
which ignored it's bills. After scmc
futile negotiations Secretary KnoN
sent a very curt note saying pay up
or arbitrate in thirty days or take tbs
/ consequences" The note was start
ling and quite like the United States
! which had been patient to the point
of lethargy. The claim was paid
! amounting. all told. to nearly million
dollars.
Secretary Knox then turned To Pan
, anna where the police had a fashion n
assaulting and mauling American salt
ors The result was that the little
republic paid $4,000 to some that had
been mistreated and to the relatives o:
one American who was killed.
4 short time ago Honduras and Sal
, vador who had played a high hand
with an American banker'Were pOlite'N
told to explain and pay damages With
in the last week Chile has been give"
ten DAYS within which to settle a claim
that has been standing thirty years o.
arbitrate it. If there is no action.
Chile will be black-listed.
There are many more old claims III
the departmental files. These are be
ing dug out of their dusty places o.
| repOse and are being furnished up for
the inspection and consideration of Mr..
Knox. collector of national bad debts.

"The Patriot"

After playing THE Patriot" for the
better part of last season at the Gar
rick theater, William Collier recent
ly called a rehearsal of the company in
order to fill the production out with a
slight essential for it's forthcoming
tour.-namely. a manuscript of the
play. 1t is an actual fact that the dia-
louge of THE Patriot subject, as is
Mr. Golfers wont, to changes and adj
ditions night by night never found its
way on paper-eXcept for a half dozen
speeches or so Mr.. Collier himself con-
fided to the backs of envelopes, or to
the wrapping paper that covered his
weekly theater laundry. But as there
are several changes in this years cast
Helena Collier Garrick being re-
placed by Miss Marion Abbott, for eX-
ample-a manuscript of the play being
an absolute necessity a few days ago.
It became so necessary, in fact that
the entire original cast of The Pat
riot had to be summoned from the
four ends of the country to reepat as
much as they could remember of the
parts they played last year, and loud
enough for stenographer sitting in
orchestra to hear them and to take
notes. But the scheme was not much
of a success. The lone stenOgrapher
sitting out front was soon regarded by
everybody on the stage as an "audi-
ence." Everybody played to him. Al
ter ne had yielded to a few hearty
laughs he was discovered to be a good
audience Then a lively competition
set in among the people on the stage
to see who could make the biggest hit
with 1.-The audience out front" The
scramble for laughs continued all
through the first act, the StenOgra pher
working industriously and only occa-
sionally laughing. But the laughs be-
came more plentiful during the second
act and just after the rise of the cur
tain on the third act, when Mr. Col
lier stepped down front and with a
perfectly straight face mumbled some
thing under his breath, the stenog-
rapher emitted a tremendous screech,
threw his book into the air and
laughed himself into Mysteries The
result is that THE Patriot will again
have to go on tour without a manu-
script

"A Girl at the Helm"

The manager of the local theater
mas succeeded in securing H H Fra
ices latest and best musical play "A
Girl at the Helm which will be seen
here for the first time at the Keylor
Grand, Thursday. December 2
This musical classic enjoyed a STAY
IN Chicago of six months and became
as popular as the other La Sale thea

Place and the Girl" "a Knight for 2

exceptional, and carefully selected cast

grand finale of the first act (there
but two acts) and the opening of the
second act are the highest spots III
the production. The music in the first
act finale reaches the dignity of rea7
opera and the chorus even attains +
the almost sacred worth of the ancient
Greek chorus when it elucidates and
gives warning of a grand finale. There
are spectacular dances in prOfusiOn

forms of gambling from roulette to the
turf. the latter being represented
several brOilers dressed as jockeys ar
running around the stage jumping over
hurdles. In number three autos are
rugged up during a dark instant and
the incandescentS come on showing
three machines filled with show girls
and raising a cloud of dust while
horns blow and lights flare.
In many of the chorus numbers the
men take prominent parts their prOmi-

fine voices and good presence. Their
costumes are second only to the elab-
crate clothes of the girls. The male
octette is a special feature.
The fishing ballet in the second act
is original and full of funny surprises.

Livestock and Agriculture.

The secret of successful farming
will be found in livestock" said Mr..
James ]. Hill, the railroad magnate
OF the northwest a few weeks ago.
Our farmers must learn how to farm.
Every year they are robbing the soil,
taking away and putting nothing back.
Every year the crops grow smaller
under that kind Of farming. The only
redemption is to feed as much of the
products as possible to livestock and
return the manure to the land. The
farmers Of other countries know more
than We do. They have been farming
for thousands Of years and their lands
are richer today than ever. We must
learn how to breed and feed livestock
that is the secret Establish live
stock shows, and the whole country
should be interested in such events.
I'm 1850 the population Of the Unit
ed States will be 200,000,000. 1t will
lake the products Of all our agricul-
tural lands to feed us and il we des-
troy the producing power of our lands
instead OF building 1t up, we will
starve. The future OF the country de-
ponds upon agriculture. The only sue
cessful agriculture is that built upon
| livestock as a foundation"
Mr.. Hill is right, but already the
people are waking up and the interest
In livestock Is evidenced by the
| growth Of such livestock expositions

Newspapers are Mereifal.

The following explanation could
be given by all newspapers AZ ii oc.
ours every now and then, says an
exchange:
This week We looked in neigh
boring exchange, expecting to see
an account OF how a Young man
had gone wrong ms il had appeared
in the daily papers. Not a line
about the Young man could We find.
and we knew why at once. A
heart broken wife or relative had
gone to the editor and asked him
to say nothing" and the editor
had listened, and the tears had
won promise from him. We
have gone through the same our
selves dozens of times. An editor
IL only human. lie has his likes
and his dislikes; he loves and he
hates; his strength between love
and duty is just like that Of the
average citizen. We remembero one
case in particular. We had let a
certain case 60 by unmentioned be-
cause a fearful mother, bowed
down with her cross, had come to
! us to beg a favor. A big headed
man jumped us about it and called
ls acoward for SO doing. A short
time afterwards the shadow fell
across his threshold, and he came
running and bsgged us to to say
nothing Yes we reply, but
don't you remember how you call
ed us coward for keeping still'
| know, he answered, but | was
wrong. 1t is different now And
We listened even to him. There
are things that an editor cannot
suppress. There are other things
that he can forget with propriety.
AS far AS we are concerned we
would rather lessen the grief Of a
parent than to throw out morsel
for the vulgar, gossipins public to
feed upon. We would rather wipe
away the tears from the eyes of a
mother than to have nerve enough
to Join a heartless crowd of lying
tongues. sink the iron deeper in
the tender soil SO when in this
paper we failed to find what we
wanted, we made no comment
But deep down in our heart we adj
inire the editor and liked him bet
! ter because.h he had a heart that
was tender, and would rather listen
ojibes of the unfeeling public than
to the sobs Of a heart broken moth.
