A pretty love story is woven into a
Marg aret Mayo's story. The play
which is in three acts and six scenes,
shows in sequence the'study of the par
sonage, the interior of the big tent and
the circus lot after the performance.
The story tells of the loves of Polly,
the pet of the circus, who having suf-
fered a severe injury in a afll from her
horse, is carried into the parsonage adj
joining the circus lot, and the young
parson into whose heart she has been
carried as well.
1t is deliciously interesting tale anC
beautifully conceived. Mr.. Thompson
has provided very strong cast and q
magnificent stage investiture.

SHADOWING A TRUST

When a man starts out to uncover vested conspiracy between government officials and powerful business combination he is laying up trouble for himself. That is illustrated in the case of Richard Parr, the man who brought the New York custom employees and the sugar trust to book
 After using all its power in the department to have Parr shifted from New York and humil lated, the sugar influences went at him directly. He was offered $25,000, for instance to call off the Strathyre seizure, and laughed at 1t. Then "friends'' of his came with better offers and advice They told him he was fool mot to get him.' He was offered $1OO,OOO If he would take trip to Europe, and always he was ln- formed that sooner or later they would 'get him. He was placed under espionage. Pri- vate detectives tried to keep him in sight al ways, and when they failed to discover anything against him, they tried to manufacture it. Some of the expedients tried are almost incredible.
 He was then newly married and lived with his wife and mother in Brooklyn. The lives of the women were made miserable by the prosecutions by letter or telephone, by the appearance of strange men at the windows or in the halls. Parr was said to be living dissolute life and this was charged against him at Washington. He proved every specific case to have been impos- sible. and at one time it was shown a man gotten up to look like him had forged his signature on hotel register. Parr was in Washington at the time His desk at the custom-house was broken into and diary stolen. Foreseeing this, he had taken care that there was nothing inn portant in it. Anonymous letters, from women or men, invited him to go to certain places to ob- tain new evidence; on crowded railroad plat forms he felt himself iostled unnecessarily, and thought they were trying to pick his pockets. friendly warning told him he was to be thrown on the tracks to be killed by train He caused the arrest of two men in Brooklyn, and they con fessed in court that they belonged to private detective agency, hired to shadow him.
 But all this did not daunt the man and he per sisted.

THE REAL THEATRICAL CENSOR

A certain New York theatrical manager IS producing a clever comedy taken from the French with practically all of its original appeal to prurency-su suggestiveness is too mild word to describe it. It has been changed only enough to make its scenes and characters American in stead of French.
 That change suggests byway of thought which isn't directly related to what We started out to say, but which is so significant that it cannot be ignored. What change must have come over America if nasty French comedy can be fitted with American scenes and charac- ters without outraging every sense of the fitness of things? It couldn't have been done genera ton ago, but it is being done now, and it isn't a pleasant commentary upon the present state of civilization in this country. To be sure it is being produced for a New York audience, and New York is not American; but it is in America, and the thought that characteristic French comedy theme fitted to American scenes and

characters will go before an American audience is dismaying.
 Those who witness this nasty play are not misled by any conception that it is anything but what 1t is. The newspapers have condemned 1t for what it is, as it is their duty to do; but ap- parently that sort of condemnation is just as valuable to the producer of the play as paid ad- vertising possibly could be- The demand for seats is so great that the sale is already six weeks in advance. A long, triumphant and i'm mense profitable "run" is assured for play that should not be permitted to appear on the boards of any American theater.
 When you hear of this, your first impulse is to throw bricks at the manager who is producing this play and who is pandering to pruriency for his own profit Yet that manager will only make up by the profits of this play what he has just lost on spectacular drama based on Pilgrim s Progress ''-about $100,000.
 The manager is in bad enough business, and we have no mind to defend him. To say that be- cause he lost money on a decent play he is en- titled to make it up by producing an indecent play is no more logical than it is to say that an author who produced decent book and lost money on it had right to get his expected profits out of g filthy book
 WlldU or Jllo DuDllc IS lOI seats, and that is buying them up six weeks in advance, in order that it may sit in shamefaced and despicable enjoyment of the parading upon the public stage of bjects that few years ago were not even mentioned in decent society? It isn't enough to say that these are New York au- diences, and that New York is the Paris of America. San Francisco would dispute that title anyway, but the fact is that very great proportion of these avid audiences is made ur of people from the interor-of visitors from | Oshkosh, Kalamazoo, Des Moines Duluth, E Paso and Globe.
 The patrons are the real culprits. If the pub lie demands filth, always it will find men de graded enough to cater to it's abnormal anC morbid tastes If the public demands decency it will get it. The public is the offender, and ii needn't pretend to be indignant when its vicious demands call out the kind of stuff that meets them. If theatrical audiences didn't want plays that would have shamed Nero they wouldn't ge them. When they rebuke the inference that they do wish such plays by refusing to patronz' them they will clean the stage of its horrors.

DR. ELIOT'S NTI,STRIKE BILL

Dr. Charles w. Eliot has asked the Massachu- setts legislature to pass bill which he has drafted for the prevention and settlement of in- dustral strikes.
 While there appears to be nothing like an agreement as to methods, there seems to be a nearly unanimous agreement, at least on the part of the innocent bystanders who make up the third party in all industrial conficts-the public-that something should be done. That something, whatever it is, must be fair alike to employer, worker and public; and above all it must work to prevent the disastrous and costly interruptions to industry that now result from strikes and lockouts, and that hit and hurt the employer, the worker and the public.
 One thing that will count largely in giving any proposed plan a respectful hearing is to have it come from fairminded man who is known to be just. Dr. Eliot may be just; certainly he is wise and learned but it will not help his particu- plan that he has hailed the ''strike breaker" as a "hero." He might conceive a fair plan in spite of the bias that produced that remarkable utterance, and it may be that his present plan is fair and feasible; but it starts in with handi- cap because of that unfortunate remark of his.
 His bill is called ''an act to provide for the public investigation of industrial disputes and the prevention and settlement of strikes and lockouts'' and it is modelled upon the lines of the excellent Canadian industrial disputes act. It goes further than the Canadian law, however, and covers not only public utilities, but all in dustries-public, private and quasi-pubic. It provides that all labor disputes shall be referred on petition of either side to board of inves- tgation to be appointed by the commissioner of labor There shall be no strike or lockout un- til the board has heard all the facts. Books pa pers and witnesses may be introduced and law yers may be barred from the hearing if the board regards the mas menace to peace and settlement. During the investigation the par ties 'may' agree in writing to abide by the de- cision, but if they do not the board of investi- gaton falls back on the weapon of publicity. It files full statement of the proceedings with it's recommendations, with the commissioner of la bor as a public document, and then adjourns, leaving the situation to public opinion.
 Though the intention of this measure may not be questioned, its efficacy may be and will be. The Canadian act goes much further than mere ly to become basis for forming public senti- ment regarding any proposed industrial conflict. Whether publicity is in this case sufficient rem edy, and whether compulsory compliance with the terms of the recommendations of the inves- tigating board is enforceable, are questions that Dr. EIiot's measure makes ripe for discussion.

h The Halls of Congress
BY TAV,
Special Washington Correspondence


 Congress is learning more about the Payne Aldrich-Smoot tariff law every day.
 Representative Morris Sheppard, one of the most prominent members of the Texas delega- tion, directed attention to one excessive rate at ter another The republican side of the house gave close attention to Sheppard's exposures, but made no attempt to refute his facts or tlg- ureS
 ''One of the chief outrages of the new repub- lican tariff is Schedule I, covering cotton man. ufactures," :" said Sheppard. ''lt contains pro visions for added duties wherever cotton goods have Leen mercerized and wherever they can be separated into threads, which have the effect of doubling, triplng, and quadrupling the already high tariff rates on a vast class of common cot ton stuffs. According to the official republican estimate, the duties in the cotton schedule were raised from an average ad valorem of 44.S4 in the Dingley law to 5O62 in the Payne law. Cot ton hosiery bears tax ranging from D to o7 per cent. Even the wicks of the candles that feebly light the poorest firesides are taxed near l. 90 per cent, while diamonds and pearls, in another section of the law escape with a charge of only 10 per cent The home manufactures of cotton have a value of billion dollars a year, on which the American people must pay the equivalent of an average tariff charge of over 50 per cent
 ''If there was a schedule in the Dingley law which needed thorough overhauling it was the woolen schedule, with rates on blankets rang ing from 107 to 165 per cent; on the cheaper hannels 40 per cent, dropping to 60 and 70 per cent for oriental rugs and velvet carpets, and keeping the main burden of taxation upon the masses. This schedule remains practically un- obanoad imnOsino the DnpleV average ad va lorem of nearly 60 per cent Thus, to raise $36,- OOOO OOO of revenue on $62, 100000 worth of wool en imports, the American people are subjected to tax of nearly 60 per cent on the $767 7OOO,OOO worth of woolen goods manufactured annually | in the United States.
 ''It is typical republican act to keep cottons and wooens which are so necessary to the com fort and life of the masses, under as high tax as silks, which only the more fortunate may wear yea, to keep the cheaper grades of the former under much higher impost than the latter.
 'The labored efforts of the republican apolo gists, including the president himself, to show that the new republican tariff law is step to- ward lower tariffs are doing more to undermine the archaic dogma of protection than all other agencies combined
 "The American people can not sustain mucl longer the yearly burden of an average ad va lorem of nearly 50 per cent on nearly all the if teen billions of dollars worth of goods manufac tured in the United States They are begin ming to see that out of every dollar of the great CT part of this $15,OOO,OOO000 which they ex pend every year for articles of necessity anC comfort they receive only about 50 cents in actu al vaue."
