Whatever your opinion of THE
Whirlwind," seen at the Auditor
ium last night, 1t is not to be denied
that Miss Ellington has play that
enables her to display he abilities
to the fullest extent. She is lover
Of Bernstein as a dramatist, and
thinks his technique and ability to
call out the best that is in an act
ress is wonderful.
In the plays of other authors you
often fell that-well-you have just
SO much to give of your emotion
and ability" said Miss Ellington last
night. "You can measure the
amount of yourself that you have to
give in order to take the part sue
cessfully. But Bernstein-Bern-
stein calls out all hiatt is in you.
You cannot cheat Bernstein out of
one atom of your ability. You have
to give all that is in you-all the
subtlety and finesse that you have,
and like that, you know.
I'VE gave up the play Until
Eternity" because we felt that 1t
was not suitable for us. It Is sweet
end pleasing, but that is aldo you
understand what l mean? It did

No Objection to Mr.. Hamilton.

From what we can learn, it seems
that the article which we reprinted
from the Shepherdstown Register
last week conveyed an erroneous
impression.
Mr.. Hamilton tells Us that no
objection was raised to him when
he applied for saloon license in
Shepherdstown, but the objection
was raised against his proposed
place of business. 1t being claimed
that it was too near an educational
institution, the law in West Vir-
ginia like most other States pre-
scribing a certain distance that
saloons must he removed from
churches and school houses.
We are Informed that. as soon as
Mr.. Hamilton can locate another
stand, his license will be taken up
and granted.
The COURIER had no intention
of doing Mr.. Hamilton an in
justice, and thought the Shepherds
town Registers article very fair:
however, the above will clear the
matter up.

The governor of Kansas came
to Chicago for the express purpose
OF replying to the liquor mems
falsehoods concerning the results
of prohibition in Kansas. The
following extracts from his address
are well worth repeating again and
again:
This Is an age of conservation.

in their line of effort, but they
were not-both were protecting
the national resources of the Amer
can republic 'Woodman, spare

but 1T is not finer than Brewer,

Here in Chicago, and through
out the United States, the brewers.
distillers and ssloonkeepers, their
attorneys and retainers are telling
IN posters, pamphlets and speeches
that prohibition increase crime in
Kansas; that it is making a large
crop of perJurers and hypocrites;
that it has ruined public credit:
caused intolerable taxation: de-
stroyed industries; discouraged
development; effeminated the peo-
pie and reduced them to pauperism;
upset social relations, and so on.
These charges are true or they
are not true. They are based on
facts or they are utterly without
foundation. On my honor as a
man and upon my word as the
chief executive of nearly 1000. 900
sovereign people / say to you that
they are UNANIMOUSLY conceived and
maliciously false.
IF a committee of your biggest
business men will come to Kansas
III take two weeks off and show
them all over the State, to let them
see for themselves whether pro-
mbition really prohibits and
whether it does any good. They
can have the freedom of every
city in Kansas, and they will not
find an open saloon, disorderly
house or gambling house in the
State. They will not find a busi-
ness man of any standing in the
State who will not testify that
prohibition is the best asset of
Kansas. Union Signal.

Children and MOley-G

"A number of parents of my
acquaintance cultivate the business
instinct in their Children" says
Mary Louise Graham in Woman's
Home Companion for May. They
pay them for services rendered TO
the family; they urge and help
them to earn and save money in
every possible way, even by doub-
ling the amount of their savings.
Now l should as soon think of tip
ping their father for carrying
packages as of paying one of my
children for any ordinary services
to the household. Besides stimu-
lating love of money, this practise
works against the feeling of re-
ciprocity, of solidarity, which
am SO anxious TO cultivate. Much
is done for them often at a great
sacrifice; it is fitting that they
should in their turn render service.
| cannot see that they are exempt
from gratitude for the much love
and care that is given them, because
they were brought into the world
of their own volition. fallacy that
is made the excuse for much selfish
ness. Therefore, the boys care
for the furnace, the cellar, the side
walk and the garden; the girls do
great many things about the
house. i give them money, as
much as l can afford, for | want
them to learn the value of it, but it
is free gift.
L do not know when | have
been so shocked as / was last
Thanksgiving in New York City.
when children, respectable looking
in spite of their fancy dress
costumes, and evidently coming
from comfortable homes, stopped
me on the street and asked me for
money. What are YOU going to
give me for Thanksgivingl' was
said to me many times in every
block. They tell me it is regular
custom in New YORK City, accepted
there without apparent protest.
What could be a better school for
the mercenary spirit OF the age
