Mr.. Lee Moses and his fine
company presented st. Elmo
last night to a moderate sized
audience at the New Theatre.
The play is one that appeals
to the feelings of the audience
and the company last night in
terputed the play in a splendid
manner. The audience was
generous in their applause Of
the climaxes of the play, and
gave the actors the closest at
tention. Bert Dowsop, as St
Elmo Murray, was a splendid
character, and won the hearts
of the audience by his fine port
rayal of the character, Hugh
e. Mccormick. as Gregoy Dand-
elton Shinkle kept the audience
in good humor throughout the
whole time the curtain was up
Viola Radley, Minnie Ketchen
and Anna Henre we're all act
ors and received the apprecia-
tion and applause. Taken alto
gether the play gave universal
satisfaction.

Changing the Old Lines.

Is it very strange that in this
day of the mighty change in
science, literature, discoveries,
and mechanics, that the people
of the world are talking of es
tablishipg communication with
the people of the PLANETARY
world? That the astronomer
has demonstrated, to his own
satisfaction, that Mars is inhab.
tied by a race of intelligent be-
ings, with whom he soon ex-
poets to be in communication.
This is, of course, not gener-
ally accepted as true, but is it
any more strange than many
other discoveries that have been
made within the past hundred
years. That there has been a
great revolutionin thought both
political and religious, is GER
tainly true, not only in this ives.
tern world but also in the old
world, especially politically;
men in the old world have be-
gan to doubt the Divine right
of Kings, have began to ask the
right of one man to rule over
them. 1t was an American of
the days of l776, who said:-
"There is 5ut two ways of ma
king a King; first by election,
and second by usurpation if
by election, then it establishes
a precedent Of electing . ruler
by choice, and but few will de.
fend the making of a ruler by
usurpa!ion. {" Many of he old,
rotten dynasties are be ginning
to ask how the House of York,
or Lancaster inherited the roy
al crown of England?
L. was America that taught
the nations of earth the right
to be free, and now, after over
a hundred years, other nations
are beginning to demand a con-
stitution and elective govern
ment, and that means freedom
from inherited right to rule.
But let us all see to r. that
after we have taught the ma
lions the way to freedom, we
sacrifice our blood bought free
dom on the alter of political
partyism. Already party is be-
coming more bold, and the men
selected to serve the people are
assuming powers not guaran-
teed by the Constitution, and
actually threatning to read out
of the party organization every
man who dares to exercise the
right to be free. What is the
nation coming to when the SER
want assumes to be master?
Things and actions, by our
rulers that would have been re-
carried by the people, of this
country as detrimental to the
best interests of all, are now
submitted to in the 1ane of
party, and often made proof of
party loyalty! This test robs
the voter of his inherent right
TO be free. Trusts, syndicates,
and a combination Of carito! is
fast sapping the foundation of
our government, and will soon
divide the people into two class

In the United StateeY It Is said
that there is some eight men in
this country who could stop the
wheels of this government in
twenty-foul holes if they wish
ed to do so. If eight men have
reached this mighty power by
their money, what can we cx-
pect of the leaders of a party
who, by their legislation, have
made it possible for eight men
to hold the destiny of the ma
tion in their hands. Americans.
Freemen, do you desire to see
the heritage of your fathers so
managed as only to benefit the
few at the expense of the ma
ny, if not, shake off the party
shackles, and vote only for the
good of the whole. Stand pat,
or progressive politics is but a
snare to increase the power of
the money power of the few,
which will only add to that mum.
Der of those eight men, who even
now claim the power to be able
to stop the wheels of the gov
eminent. D. M. II.
A good many papers are US
ing as a slogan "Give Taft time
to prove himself" They did not
have to use that slogan with
Me- inley or Roosevelt, so why
with Taft? If the great cor.
porations of the country had, a
jolly good fellow, with a smile
that wouldn't come eff, but ut
terly incompetent to conduct
the business over which he was
placed, how long would the
directors keep him? The
government should have a good
business man at its head as it is
running the largest business in
the country but instead of that
we often put at the head, the
man that has the greatest pep
Iularity regardless of his bust
ness ability.
Senator Aldrich says he can
run the government for $780,
1000, 1000 less per year than it is
run at present. When one of
Taft's hepchmen makes such a
statement isn't it time the peop-
]e were putting a business man
in charge.
Take the Post Office Depart
ment for instance. Last year
they ran behind $l7,OO0,0OO
and the Postmaster General
stated that it was partially, if
not wholly, due to carrying
magazines too cheaply and yet
any congreggman can send any
thing he wants free of charge
this alone amounting to several
million a year. 1t is a proven
fact that one senator tried to
frank a COW home. Any sena-
tor can have his speech printed
free of charge and then mailed
10 his constituents without any
bother or expense to himself.
Investigate the franking
priveledge and considerable of
the 100000, 900 waste can be
found.

The Following Letter Was:
Received From the Cenis
son Commercial Club
Dear Sir-At a meeting #
the Denison Commercial Club
on April 9Th, the undersigned
were appointed a committee to-
correspond with the citizens of
a number of the leading cities
along the main line of the Chi
cago & Northwestern between
Council Bluffs and Clinton to
ascertain their opinion of the
advisability of promoting a
"River to River Dragged Road"
through Mid-Iowa, and to So
licit their cooperation in the
carrying out Of such a project.
In pursuance of such instruct
ion, we herewith submit tn e
matter to you with the request
that you prese' : it to the Com
mercia c. y corresponding
body il. yal city at the earliest
possible moment and favor us
as quickly as possible with re-
plies to the questions submitted
together with the general sent
iment of your community on
the subject, and such suggest
ions as you may see fit to make.
There can be no question as
to the desirability of such a
highway. Heretofore this has
been the great transcontinen-
tai overland route, the counties
to the south of us have planned
a highway which will attract
much of this traffic. Why
should we not offer the tourist a
choice of routes? These tourt-
ists, as we know, spend consid-
erlble sums enroute, and they
do much to advertise the sect
ion through which they pass.
Futher than this, good roads
will be a help to every community.
1t has been suggested that if
this letter meets with sufficient
and satisfactory response, a
general meeting be called at
some point in Central Iowa
That as many as possible be re-
quested to go to the meeting
place by auto, thus forming
two great professions across
the state, preaching the gospel
of good roads as they 60, Great
ing enthusiasm and studying
the nature and needs of the
roads to be traversed.
Denison would be pleased to
entertain the western division
the evening before the general
meeting and then join in the
daylight journey to Central
Iowa. We believe some caste m
Iowa city would be equally
pleased to entertain the eastern
division, and we would be glad
to hear from the Central Iowa
city which would extend its
hospitality to the good roads
boosters.
ltlis further urged that the
matter be brought to the i'm
mediate attention of the county
supervisors, now probably in
session, and their help solicited.
The above are but tentative
suggestions, made simply for
the purpose Of placing the mat
ter before you for consideration.
We are relying upon you to
present this matter to your cit
liens, and as the time il short,
we hope to hear form you by
the last of this week.
Very Respectfully,

a difference sunshine makes, af

morning every thing seemed
bright and cheerful, while the

HaHeyss comet has returned
returned to Hendersonvile, Of
courses
This is a surprising statement,
but anyone who may foolishly
doubt its truth should look up on
the mountain, to the west of town,
just above the city reservoir
and they will have all doubts re-
moved. For there, flaming
bright against the Western sky,
may be seen the comet-or at
least something that looks like the
comet, only more SO. Halley's
comet was something of a disap-
pointment to the many admirers
of old man HALEY. A number
of people thought, in fact, that
they had been buncoed, but this
time no feelings of disappointment
will mar their pleasure, for the
sight presented to their startled
gaze-is really a superb and awe
inspiring one.
OF course, it isn't really Hal
ley's comet, or any one else's old
comet. It is the strings of cleo
tric lights on Park Heights tower,
In Laurel Park, outlining the
structure and stretching twenty
or thirty feet in the air, which
makes you think that it is the com
ct returned to Hendersonville as
an omen of the most prosperous
season the town has ever enjoyed.
The tower is on the top of the
mountain, and the new Swiss in
clined railway takes you to its
base. The car on the railway
starts from a brightly Illuminated
spot, goes up the mountain side
through laurel and rhoodendron,
through darkness which leaves the
impression of travelling through a.
long tunnel, and finally you alight
at the tower, in a blaze of electric
lights.
Some folks thought, last night,
when they saw the blazing stream
of fire in the sky, that the town
commissioners were celebrating
the completion of the magnificent
new fltering plant. Mayor Sta
ton, however, says this was an err
ror. He says that naturally they
are all proud of the city fltering
plant, and suppose. everyone else
in town is also, but that they had
arranged no special celebration in
honor of the event.
It is only one more attraction at
Laurel Park, which seems to now
have almost everything in that
line to be found in any amusement
park In the country.
