AT THE THEATERS.

The approval by the public of the
Jack Golden Company could not have
been better shown than in the large
audience of Saturday evening and the
intelligent appreciation displayed by
it Of the fine points of the program.
The house was not crowded-it was
TANNED; and there were a large num-
Der Of swell people there, too. The
program consisted Of two catchy
comical sketches, lots of fine music
and just enough moving picture bust
ness to make the whole set well.
Tonight there will be a complete
change. The leading features will be
a roaring farce comedy and, after this
has been digested, a lively funny mu-
steal comedy will be put on. AS be-
fore there will be singing and dancing
Of high class, and the best orches-
ira music.

specialties will be "Squedunk Sherlock
Holmes" and THE Absent Minded Gu
pid,' both highly amusing sketches.
The little Melnotte sisters will again
appear in new songs and dances. With
all these fine features for a program,

New Party? No!

The Commoner receives
letter occasionally from som,
reader who suggests the for
nation of a new party, anc
the idea sometimes appears il
the ne xspapers which are dis
satisfied with the proceedings
at Washington. The new
party suggested is more easily
made..than carried out. To
plan new party is easy; to
organize one Of any consider
able size is very difficult.
There is a certain attractive
ness about a new party; if
one can get a few congenial
spirits together and organize
a party on a detinate platform
and pledge it to a definite rel
form, he can havevthe conso-
lation that comes from asso-
citation with companions in
agreement with him, but if
his party becomes very large,
differences of opinion will
manifest themselves, and
these differences will become
more numerous as the party
increases in strength. All
do not think alike on anyl
subject, and few think alike
on all suhiscts. The question
that the reformer has to de-
eide il not whether he would
mud q new party more congo t
NAL, but whether he can bet t
ter advance reforms in a new .
party than in one of the exist c
ing parties. The Commoner v
for reforms-reforms D
definite, specific and impor- O
amt, and it believes that p
these reforms can better be b,
accomplished through the re
ne democratic party than or
trough any new patty that
ouid be organized under pre- err
'ht conditions. The reform tn
|ement in the democratic pu
arts IS ''rgs enoughlto con- th,

it would not be large enough
to contribute materially t.
the formation of a new party
For many more democrats
will enlist under the banne,
Of reform within the party
than would leave the party
and join a new one. The
same can be said of the re-
publican party-a great many
more republicans will attempt
to reform the republican

form a new party. Mr.. Cleve-
land and his friends contrnll-
ed nearly one third of the

The Beginning Of Forestry
In the United States.

| LA tllC ~ A1OOS 0V0VOCs
When did the United begin
l the practice of forestry? Few
} persons can answer this ques
ton correctly. Most people
are of the opinion that the
, beginning of forestry in this
country was of very recent
origin, and that the first steE
in that direction was taken
among the mountains of the
far west. Neither fact is cor.
rect.
! While Washington was
serving his first term a.e Presi.
dent of the United. State, a
recommendation came to him
that the government ought to
bug live oak island On the
coast Of Georgia to make sure
fof|a supply Of ship timber for
war vessels. The idea ap-
pears to have originated with
Joshua Humphreys, whose
official title was "Constructor
Of the United States Navy"
although about tho only navy
then existing was made up
Eof six ships on paper, and not
one stick of timber to build
them had yet been cut. The
vessels were designed to fight
the northern African pirates.
Five years after the recon-
mendation was made Con-
gress appropriated money to
buy live oak land. Grover
and Blackboard island on the
coast of Georgia we're bought
for $22,5O0. They contained
1850 acres.
Louisiana was bought soon
after; and in 1917 the Six Is
lands, of 10000 acres, and
containing $4,000 live oak
trees, were withdrawn for
sale, and set apart as a re-
serve. In 1925, Congress ap-
propriated $40, 900 to buy ad-
ditional live oak land on San
"a Rosa Sound, western
Florida, and subsequently
oher Florida timberlands,
aygregating 208, 224 acres,
were reserved.
Up to that time nothing
more had been done than to
buy or reserve land for the :.
timber growing naturally III
on it; but the work was to be
carried further upon the San
la K osa purchose. The plan
included planting, protecting,
,ultivating and cutting live
oak for the Navy. The tim I
Der was then considered in !:
lispensable in building war
7essels. Much had been said
md written Of the danger of
exhaustion OF supply. Set :
lers destroyed the timber to i

Lieut.. Gen. Macarthur Goes on

During Late War.

Washington.-Thc retirement Of
Lieut.-Gen. Arthur Macarthur. which
took place recently. takes from the
active list of the United States army
not only the last of that rank. but one
OF the most notable characters in this
country's military history.
He saw more fighting before attain
Ing his majority than some of the su-
perior officers in the army today have
seen during the whole of their careers.
He entered the service of the union
In 1862. before he was of enlistable
age, and at II was regimental ad.
jutant. At 10 he was major com.
manding his regiment and n little
more than ~ months later was mus.
tered out of the volunteer service with
the rank of colonel
Like Gen. Miles. Macarthur is not a
graduate of West Point. In fact, he
had no opportunity to receive the in.
struction of the government military
academy. for he began his military
lessons on the battlefield at the age
when most boys ordinarily enter the
institution. He has been a fighter all
his life and has had a military train
ing such as few men in the army
have been able to obtain.
Gen. Macarthur was born in Sprin.
field, Mass. June 2. 1915. His father
was the late Judge Macarthur of the
Supreme court of the District of
Columbia. AS child he was taken
to Wisconsin by his parents and was
educated in the public schools of Mil
waukee.

was fired with military ambition. and

In mastering the intricacies of infan-
try drill that on the organization of
the Twenty-fourth Wisconsin regiment
he was able to act as drillmaster
though holding no official rank.
At the close of the war Macarthur
entered the regular army (the follow.
ing year, and it is said that his ap-
plication for a commission was in
dorsed by Gems. Grant and Sherman,
both of whom were familiar with his
record in the civil war. He entered
the service as first lieutenant and
was promoted almost Immediately to
be the youngest captain in the army.
For nearly 20 years thereafter he
served with various regiments in the
west and southwest, participating in
several Indian campaigns.
In 1889 he became a major and as.
sistant adjutant-general.. He remained
In the acknowledgements Office until
the outbreak of the Spanish war, in
the meantime having been promoted
to the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He
was then appointed a brigadier-genral
of volunteers. and was sent to Manila
with the first detachment of troops
dispatched to the Philippines. There
he distinguished himself Immediately
by capturing the town and bridges of
Malate, which was the most i'm
portant step leading to the surrender
of Manila.

he was assigned to the commana of
all the forces in the Philippines he
commanded division and had a
prominent part in suppressing the in
surrection. He succeeded Gen. Otis
as chief in command and civil gov
ernor in March, 1900, and was re-
lieyed. in July, 1901, when he returned
to the United States.
Jan. 2, 1900. his rank in the regular
army was changed from lieutenant
colonel to brigadier-general. and in
February of the following year, on the
reorganization of the army, he was
advanced to major-general. Upon his
return from the Philippines he was
place in command of the depart
ment of the lakes, with headquarters
at Chicago. Subsequently he COM
manded the departments of the east, with
headquarters at Governors Island, N.
y and later was assigned to the de.
nartment of California, where he com.
manded until the division of the Pa.
cific was created and he was placed
in command Of that.
He was with the Japanese army

Japan and Russia, and at it's close
was sen. to India and South Africa
