of interesting contests and a ball game
between Hinsdale and Bratteboro teams.

noon and there was dancing in the pavil-
ion throughout the afternoon and evening
In spite of the threatening weather it was
one of tie most enjoyable outings the
church ever held.
The ball game between Hinsdale and
BrattleborO was fast and interesting.
Doucette, who recently pitched a no-hit
game for HinSdale against a Greenfield
team, was loaned to Brattleboro as a
catcher and did remarkably well in that
capacity in addition to cracking out
timely two Dagger. The features of the
game were a triple play by Mann, Mo
ran and Perham of Hinsdale in the first
inning and a running one-hand catch by
d. Riley in deep left field. When the
triple play was pulled off d. Riley was on
second base, Ferriter on first and Blake
at the bat. Blake hit the ball to left
field. Mann made a difficult catch after
juggling the ball. Both runners were
coached to come along" and Riley had
nearly reached the home plate and Fer
ritter had rounded second when the ball
wa returned to the nfield Blake pitch
ed a good game and was star slugger,
clouting the ball for a single. double and

BROADWAY

k<D ROADWAY Huh! Broadways
rotten that's all l can say
~ was the parting shot of Ed
ward H. Sothern, the actor, as he sailed
away to Europe. Then he added3
why, the best place in the United
States to put on good Shakespeare is
in the west. Don't laugh, for that's
a fact. And it's another fact that
there's a whole lot more appreciation
for real drama on Third avenue than
Broadway ever could muster"
Which ought to make the red-necked,
blase boulevardier of Gotham's great
white way at least sit ue and sniff. He
knows in a vague sort of way that
there is a west, but it is outside of
New York, and that is enough for him.
Broadway is the court of last resort
in theatricals and he is the arbiter
As he smacks the lips of the connois-
seur over his Pommery and lobster a
la Newberg, so he passes critically on
the latest offering in the playhouse
for his highly sophisticated senses. He
knows in the same vague way that
Shakespeare was a playwright, but he
will dismiss Sothern's outburst as the
explosion of some disappointment
The classic drama is very faI from
the taste of the pleasure-chasing New
Yorker. He is a competent critic of
musical comedy, but many clever, SER
ious plays have failed to stir his jad-
ed senses, and without the Broadway
stamp have failed TO succeed on the
road. Mr.. Sothern was right Gus
tom makes the wrong people the ar
biters of theatrical destinies. With
the exception of the modern novelties
in stagecraft, which he may pass on
with some discertion-and he is well
come to the distinction-the Broadway
first-nighter is not to be compared as
a competent weigher of dramatic merit
with the less oyerfed and more cul-
tured people of the provinces" of
whom he hears with amused uncon-
Germ as a sort of outlanders.

LOCAL HYPOCRlTES CAUSE
OF PREVALENCE OF GRAFT

Editor Herald: Whittier are we drift
ed, when a man of the intelligence
and integrity of Rudolph Spreckels af-
ter fighting graft for years, baffled
sees no remedy but in the hope that
corruption will become so bad it will
destroy itself?
This unfortunately is not the history
of republics, but rather the destruc-
tion of the government. Many who
praise Heney abroad pat the CRATER
in their own small city on the back,
and seek to put their local Heney's to
death. and were he in their city would
cry Away with such man"
In San Francisco the CRATER works
through the saloons, brothels and oath
bound societies In small cities he
becomes a member of the leading re-
ligous society, and while one CRATER
works this branch another ally is to
work the non-religious, and hence,
while one by his liberal contributions
to the church silences her guns, the
other, by his prodigal liberality toward
the other class, silences their mouths,
and the man who dares to hint of
graft and corruption against man
so liberal toward religion, or so open
hearted toward the other class, is os-
tracsed in church and the world.
He is prosecuted and may regard him
self as fortunate if the prosecution
stop with himself. but reach something
more dear to him, his loved ones.
Hand joins hand and behind locked
doors. evil men, eVilly disposed, plot
and plan to silence him.

The smallest dolls in the world are

is known as the Queen of the Needle" ;"
The tiny manikins are barely three
fourths of an inch long, but are per-
feet in all details.
She first makes a diminutive frame
work of wire. This she winds with
fine silk thread until she has secured
the proper figure. The clothes are then
cut according to the character of the
doll and fitted carefully to it.
With q needle that can scarcely be
held in the fingers and whose eye is
almost invisible. various designs are
actually embroidered on the clothes
with the finest of silk threads. SO
cleverly are they executed that even
through a powerful magnifying glass
the details appear to be perfect, yet
the entire work is done without the
aid of an enlarging device of any
kind.

ings, as we'll as to go in for "love's
sweet surrender" and all that sort of
thing, quite without benefit of clergy
fancy being compelled to put up the
money as WE'LL
1t is illogical-even for a woman. 1t
is unreasoningly and unwisely iliog-
ical
Incidentally 1t is striking a blow at
the "oldest profession in the world"
and offering an even more depraved
substitute.
One of the worst of the recent cases
is that of the Oakland girl who so
cleverly manipulated the accounts of
her employer that she was able to
steal about $4,000 for a most unap-
pealing looking man-judging by his
photograph-whose wife divorced him
on her account.
There is no record of subsequent
marriage, believe; but they have gone
to some Central American place where
there amt no ten commandments
nor yet any extradition law.
And she supplied the funds for the
expedition.
Not quite so bad Is the case of the
wealthy Seattle woman who succumbed
to the atmosphere of Pittsburg so far
as to flirt violently with a man she met
there Christmas eve, and after few
hours acquaintance left for New York
at her own sxpense, accompanied by
him, also at her expense. They did not
care for the climate of New York, SO
they went to Buenos Ayres and were
gone until March 81. She had unlim-
tied means, 1t is said, and he had con-
fessed when they first met that he was
financially embarrassed
When they came back she found out
that he was married, and became So
peevsh that she demanded money fee
his ticket and other expenses, and had
him arrested.
This is illogical too, but 1t is natural,
comprehensive, feminine action.
Women have to make many COM
promises throughout life, but they are
adopts at concealing these concessions,
whether great or small.
These women ought to be cast out of
the sisterhood because they did not
even make a bluff.
They acted too much like men in
taking what they wanted and paying
for it. Every rule, not only of God and
man, but of woman as we'll, was
broken.
They are simply mpossible-viewed
from any standpoint.

SUGGESTS CITY PURCHASE
ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANTS

Editor Herald: I have been reading
with considerable interest the state
ments made in The Herald by the tele-
phone and light companies relative to
their not being able to give the cheaper
rates asked by the city council without
working a great hardship to the COM
panies.
L. G. Somers talks right out loud in
his letter, corporation Tells Half
Truth in UNFOLDING Rates." and 1t may
be that he as we'll as the many readers
of The Herald would like to read an ex-
perience the writer had few years
ago while in South Dakota. Here it is;
"A man we'll acquainted with a high
up official of one of the many railroads
west of Chicago said that the official
told him that the railroads always kept
rates Just as high as the public would
stand-no more, no less: that If the
time would come when the public would
demand a 2-cent passenger rate, why
the companies would be able to give it
without any great inconvenience
in fact a cheaper rate might tend to
increase their business But that the
companies did not want the public to
dictate to them-''run their business =
to quote the official.
Now, the best way to handle these
stubborn corporations Gn this city,
too), it seems to me, would be for the
community to have a vote on the mat
ter as to whether or not the corporation
question should become public property,
and it is safe to say that said private
lighting and telephone companies would
become municipal property institutions,
giving the community their light or tel
ephone rates at cost of production

The Express is able to state that
King George will patronize racing on
as extensive a scale as the late king,
and that there is no fear of dispersal
of the royal racing stable at New
market or the breeding stud at San
dringham.
1t has been stated that King George
never took a keen interest IN racing
and that when he came to the throne
he would discontinue the intimate per-
sonal connection between royalty and
the turf which has existed for thirty
years. Such a statement was very
wide of the mark.
1t is true that in the past King
George has not been constant visitor
at race meetings and has never run
horses: but there were circumstances
in the way of his figuring as an owner
at the same time az his father, and In
the past shooting has occupied all his
spare time in the autumn months.
In future King George will be seen
at all the principal race meetings be-
tween the opening of the season and
Goodwood After the grouse shooting

less frequent and may be confined to

asset The stud fees earned there in
the past by such stations as Florizel

THE ONLY DANGER

MIR. CITIZEN, you are a stock
VI holder in the corporation of Los
'@'A- Angeles and you ought to be
proud of your part ownership. You
ought to be proud enough to have some
concern as to the size and character
of the dividends you draw out of it. 1t
seems needless to remind you that the
dividends will depend on the kind Of
management the corporation receives.
You know that, but perhaps you are the
kind who has been In the habit of leav-
ing such things to the other share
holders.
If you are a shareholder in a private
corporation do you risk your holdings
in this loose way? Suppose there was a
contest on for the control of the board
of directors with, let us say, Barney
Healy and doc" Houghton gathering
proxies for themselves and George H.
Stewart and Frederick ]. Whiffen will
ing to serve on the board, into whose
hands would you intrust your property
interests? Would you let indifference
go so far as to keep you away from
the meeting that decided the issue?
You know that Stewart and Whiffen
are typical of the best citizenship we
have in town. You know that Healy
and Houghton are typical politicians
who once before served on the council
and served so discreditably that an
aroused community refused to re-elect
them If you are not ignorant of the
ways of organized politics you also
know that Healy and Houghton, max
ing a business of politics, keep their
following "in line" all the while and
will be able to get a large vote out to
the polls on June 80.
1t will mean surrendering some of
the fruits of last years fight for de-
cency in city administration if these
representatives of the old gang are sue
cessful on the last day of this month.
It will be the entering wedge that will
put heart into every ringster that
profted by the old reign of graft and
immortality, and correspondingly dis
hearten those who have fought for
clean city. The Healy- Houghton push
will all be out on election day-be sure
of that-but there will not be enough of
them if you, the representative of the
citizenship that has nothing selfish to
gain, and your neighbors turn out also.
The decent element in Los Angeles
far outnumbers the other class, of
course. The only possibility there is of
Healy and Houghton coming anywhere
near success lies in the apathy of those
who believe in Stewart and Whiffen,
but won't take the trouble to go to the
polls. Remember, June 80.
