At the Theatre.

{ { ~ ( ! -
st. Elmo which will be presented at
Turner Theatre next Sunday evening
IS, according to ST. Paul Daily News,
q play full Of plot and INTRIGUE with
out which much of the effectiveness Of
Martin Z. Alsop, as an actor, in the
title role would be lost.
Mr.. Alsop seems perfectly adapted
to the part he portrays. He is WORTH
" supported by Elsa Berold, as Edna
Earl, who after much battling with her
conscience, saves st. Elmo from sui
cide's grave by marrying him in the
last act.
The real plotter in st. Elmo must
not be taken as the leading character,
however, for he is not. He is complete
" ontdone as far as cunning and plot
is concerned by Agnes Powell, which
part is taken by Grace Ady. She is
the cause of the duel in the first &C,
from which action the whole play is
written. She has cast off st. Elmo fol
his best friend, and the result is his
death by . pistol in the hands of ST
Elmo in duel that is, however, fought
"strictly according to CODE ?

The Bogey Man from Africa.

An ingenious citizen of St. Paul,
whose dazzling wit blinds those near
him to his wise perspicacity, predicted,
Immediately after Taft's election, tn at
Theodore Roosevelt would be the
Democratic candidate for president in
1912. The story has been repeated
ever since to diminishing chorus of
mirth. They who came to laugh re-
main to ponder.
Now the most serious minded of
New York correspondents Interrupts
the alteration of big business and the
celebration of material success to I'M
cover a plot for the secret organiza-
of peoples party to restore Roose-
welt to the White House three years
from now. It is bipartisan, like the
legislative commissions of New York
city. Mr.. Herbert Parsons of the
sugar trust and Mr.. Hearst of the
American stand by the font as spon-
sors, while the children of newspaper
light in the last administration gnash
approving teeth in the darkness in
which this has left them.
The plan is to nomin ate him with a
whoop IN an early mass convention
and dare the two old parties to turn
him down. Nobody expects that the
Republican convention will indorse
him. If the administration of TAT,
should be satisfactory to the people
there will be no occasion to do so.
Indeed, in that case, there will be nc
occasion for the peoples party or the
return from Elba.
But if Taft should fail to satisfy the
people, the force of federal patronage
and the potent forces he will have
satisfied will control the convention
and renom1nate him as Harrison was
renomin ated. Then the Democrats
will indorse Roosevelt as more Demo
cratic than the Democrats, and fire
works will begin to sputter and cracklt
in all the highways and byways O
|
politics.
It's up to Taft. If he is the strong
man the Yale crowd thinks, he car
succeed himself. If he is just a plum,
and pleasing person, smiling canno
save him. He must do things, ant
his time is short, because he must ge
a congress to support him first.
The sober middle-class people O
the country do not want Roosevelt
but they are bound to have the Roose
welt policies. If they can't get then
through a smooth president they vii
call back the Rough Rider, and thos,
of US who can t stand him must NOV,

A strange case of administr alton of
Justice came under our observation
during the recent grand jury session.
It appears that last summer young
man in Springfield under some i'm
pulse, whether theft or otherwise,
appropriated base ball suit and left
for his home in Winona. Following
complaint the county sheriff was
sent to apprehena him. He was ar
raigned in justice court in Springfield
and for some reason the authorities
in charge saw fit to bind him over to
the grand jury. AS a result the young
man was incarcerated in the county
Jail for S months awaiting the deliber-
alton of the grand jury. This body
considering the Inequality of punish
ment to the crime by having already
sustained a five month incarceration,
quickly and properly resolved to find
no indictment, thus giving the young
man his freedom. If our existing
laws demand such long drawn out
process of dealing out so called justice
it is time that a change be agitated in
the laws themselves or in the ad-
ministration of them. And this should
be done in the most vigorous manner.
Aside of the extreme punishment in
flicted the affair incurred an I'M
necessary expense of over 800 on the

Over at Redwood Falls the Judge OF
Probate died very suddenly of heart
failure and before the news had got
well spread about the town, hungry
Office seeker had induced the governor
to appoint him to the vacancy. And
editor Thompson of the Reveille is
disguised with such hasty political
1im-Aam, and proposes to show the
governor at the next election that the
people of Redwood county won't en-
dorse him for making such lightning
political movements. Acting on the
assumption that 'might is right we
will await results of the next election
before rendering our verdict in this
matter, as at the best it's only game
of cheap politics that the children are
playing.-Tracy Weekly Herald.

Good Roads.

The country papers are at present
spending much time and valuable
space in discussing county option,
conservation Of the states resources,
costly waterways, prohibition and
other visionary issues which of
necessity are remote when compared
with conditions that affect the prac-
tical life of rural districts. Through
the above agitation our attention is
misdirected and local conditions
which need our serious attention are
lost sight Of. In our opinion the time
has, long ere this, been at hand when
our country roads should have pre-
eminently occupied the fore ground in
our considerations of public welfare.
It is reasonable to accept that by a
live and intelligent discussion and
agitation of this vital problem by the
country press, a system can be found
whereby good country roads can
be established and maintained.
The project is so far reaching and OF
such general public concern that it is
almost impossible for any local com
munity to successfully attempt it
alone. It is a problem which requires
the cooperation of the entire state or
common wealth. By a practical and
judicious beginning of building one
good road in our county, say for in
stance between New Ulm and Sleepy
Eye would quickly demonstrate the
advantages arising from such an I'M
dertaking, and once the farmers see
the benefit of one good road they will
want one before their own door. It
is safe to say that in comparatively
short period we would have as good a
system of roads here as they have in
Germany or even in some OF our
Eastern states. However, it requires
money to construct roads and the
efforts of counties and towns must be
supplemented by financial aid and
expert supervision supplied by the
state. Lack Of space in this issue for.
bids going into further details Of this
problem. But We will endeavor tc
keep the subject before our readers
In the meantime ne shall be pleased
to receive communications from any
one interested in this particular phase
of public welfare.

King Leopold.

The King is dead; long live the
King. It is said King Leopold, who
died few days ago, was bad fellow.
And SO he was; but he wasn't any
worse than the institution he served
and as long as we admire antiqu lated
institutions, such as monarchy, anar-
>chistic capitalism, political graft etc.,
TO which people willingly submit, you
should not condemn the man more
than the institution which offers and
celebrates the opportunity to be bad.
leopold was born April 10, 1885 and
has been King for over A years. He
was persistent seeker after pleasure
and with the peoples money gratifed
every and all desires that a perverted
mind could suggest For years he
was a notable figure in the demi-
monde of Paris and a fgurehead on
the Belgian throne for it was Parlia-
ment that actually ruled that country.
He therefore directed his guber-
material efforts to the Kougo where
regiments of natives we're butchered
and MANNED by his orders and his
cruelties created a world wide scandal.
These industries lined the old Kings
pocket with millions. Unless host
of creditable witnesses have told lies
about him, he was one of the most
sinister and terrible figures in the
bloodstained annals of the Ozark
Continent" His manipulations earned
tor him the title of "Vampire of the
Kongo', being cold-blooded, self
seeking voluptuary and money grab
Der. In the Kongo he invested, all
sold, something like s6,0oo,OOO and
drew from his speculations over
S5,000,000 year. His business mana
ger and silent partner was an Ameri-
can, T. A. Walsh of Colorado. And
now, the King being dead, let us
charitably forgive him and charge all
his bad deeds to present conditions
and a generation, that graciously per-
united this 500 million dollar Leopold
80 be a proaigate, monarch and
sdespot. Behold the masses cry: The
King is dead, long live the King!

) Peace on earth, good will toward
men,. It is remarkable how the
memories of childhood cling to adult
life and follow you to old age. Peace
on Earth the heavenly message
suggested at one time to the percep-
tive mind of the child the absence and
.elimin alton of all strife and lured the
Imagination on to belief OF universal
brotherhood. No more hatred; no
more conflicts; no more wars; no
more division; no more self-seeking
to the extent Of injuring the fellow
man: nothing but love and serene
and tranquil existence. Happiness
sublime! What an ideal advent in
the prospective. Behold, however,
the drastic contrast of reality, that
presents itself to the man as compared
to the illusions of the child-mind.
w arrilg nations, dreadnaughts, war
ships, impregnables coast defenses,
marderous implements of war, nations
laying in wait like beasts, ready to
pounce upon their prey. And again,
the intense struggle visible on every
hand in commercial life. Keen COM
petition, the un-ethlcal, INSCRIPTIONS
schemes in politics, the glaring and
monstrous prostitution OF justice in
our courts, the ingenious methods to
establish ridiculous authority over
man and to attain supremacy in every
field and phase of human existence
What a spectacle, what a transforms
ton to the naive imagination of the
erstwhile child!

features of childhood days to be re-
membered is chat good old family

Christmas Meditations.

dinner, which dear old mother pre-
pared in manner which only she was
able to do and it didn't take much
money either to prepare most ella
borate spread. This year sPa" con-
suits sMa" and both are somewhat
Mortified at the enormous prices they
are asked to pay. For it must be re-.
membered the American people are
this year playing Santa Claus to the
monopoly with a more lavish hand
than at any time since the panic days
Of the civil war. All who indulge in a
good old fashioned Christmas dinner
at a family reunion are forced to
join in filling the already bullying
stocking of the trust magnates.
Wheat, poultry, butter, eggs, every
thing from soup to nuts costs from Is
-45 per cent more than last year.
Eggs sell for 40 cents and in Portland,
Ore. they have to pay zoe per dozen.
The salary of 800 a month man will
buy no more than could be bought
last year with $40 income. The re-
taller does not get the increased profit
but the trust Meat exceeds in whole
sale price of last year by 81. per cent
in the East; 80 in the South and
Middle West; 10 per cent in the far
West. When will this highway
robbery come to an end? Is the
tariff the cause? ~ The American
people playing Santa Claus to the
trusts are the sufferers. Peace on
earth and good will toward men, may
be exemplifed to the trusts, mono
poles and man, the mighty of the
land, but what about the man, the
producer? It is strange, passing
strange!

Washington Letter Sold for ssl5.

The price Of $3.50 was paid at
sale Of valuable autographs by S. "
Henkels in Philadelphia recently for
a three-page photo letter written by
General Charles Lee on September
12. 1882, to General Nathaniel
Greene, congratulatlng him on his
success in the southern campaign.
Lees letters are great rarities, and
this specimen was an unusually fine
one, but the amount paid for 1t was
far beyond what 1t was thought It
would bring. So scarce are these Lee
letters that Auctioneer Henkels has
had but three. including this one, un-
der his hammer in his more than 30
years experience in selling auto
graphs.
The sale was full of valuable his
torical letters, written by many Of the
foremost men OF the revolutionary
period. but only one item brought a
higher price than Lees and that was
a letter written by George Washing
ton to his importuning, impecunious
nephew Captain Fielding Lewis, Feb
ruary 27, 1884, explaining his in
ability to loan him money, because he
had received no money from his es-
tate during the nine years he had
been fighting for the independence OF
the United States, and at the end Of
his long and most valuable services
had brought no money home with
him. This extremely interesting let
ter brought SS15.-New York Times.

Good Rifle, Scores.

Portland.-Ideal conditions prevail
ed at the new National Guard rifle
range near Clackamas station yes
terday and a number Of excellent
scores were made by Companies b.,
F and G., and the Ambulance corps
of the Third Infantry. About 100
riflement went out to the range in the
early morning, returning on the 4:3O
train in the afternoon.
Owing to the fact that the longer
ranges were not ready for use, the
firing was limited to the 200 and 300
yard range. Several good score were
made, but the best work was done by
Captain Walter Wilson of Company
B, who made 45 out of possible so
on both the 200 and 300 yard ranges.
1t is planned to have the 400 and
500 yard distances ready for use by
next Sunday, when the guardsmen
will be given the opportunity to show
what they can do on the longer range.
A large force of men are at work
shaping up the grounds and getting
the long distance ranges ready for the
annual state rifle competition, which
Is scheduled for the first week in Au-
gust.

Antl.Saloon League Loses.

Seattle.-By decision handed
down by the state supreme court in
Olympia the people of West Seattle
have lost their fight to prevent the
establishment of saloons on the
sound and bay shore, where crowds
go for outings on Sundays and at
other times during the week. While
West Seattle is especially interested,
both the saloon and anti-saloon in
terests throughout the whole state
are affected The state supreme court
holds that the referendum clause Of
the city charter as regards saloon or
other licenses is void, and that the is
suing and granting Of licenses rests
entirely with the city council and the
regularly designated licensing officers
of the city
