story Of GEL Captain,

The story of "El Captain" concerns the
intrigues Of a bluff but faint-hearted old
viceroy Of Peru in the early colonial days
OF that country as a dependency of Spain
In those days as now. the Spanish
American territories seemed 10 be in
ficted with revolutions at regular inter-
walls and the viceroy of Peru, Don Medi-
qua, had much trouble in keeping his
throne from being jerked from under
him. One habitual revolutionist in par
ticular, known mysteriously as FL Capt.
tan, was most troublesome and had ter
rorized the entire country. AS it looks
as if Captain will capture the govern
ment. Don Medigua ingeniously turns the
tables by himself impersonating the
dreaded revolutionist, Disgusting himself
in fantastic armOr, and proclaiming him
self as FL Captain, the captor OF
Peru. In this way he manages 10 hide
himself from harm and atHhe same time
preserve his position at the head of the
government until the Spanish troops sue
coed in putting down the revolution. The
many complications that could result
from a situation like this can be mag
med, and toward the finale everybody in
the cast seems to be tied up in most
hopeless difficulties, when the happy de-
nouement allows Medigua TO again throw
off his disguise as Captain and proclaim
himself as the viceroy. comfortably
backed up by the soldiers of Spain, and
thus set everything right.

MODERN JERUSALEM.

London, Nov. r. The people of
Jerusalem are fast becoming modern
lied. They realize that greater in
tiuX of tourists, on whom the inhabi-
tantS principally depend for a living,
can only be expected if things are
made comfortable for them by the
provision of proper accommodation,
the lighting and paving of the streets,
the freeing of the city from dust and
the improvement of the travel facili-
ties.
David Yellin, who was born and
bred in Palestine and is now men,
be- of the municipality of Jerusalem,
tells the Jewish Chronicle of Lon
don that the new regime is proving
very beneficial to the Holy City.
Sanitation works are proceeding and
tenders have been invited from
European firms for the installation of
an adequate water supply, electric
lighting and a system of street cars.
1t is intended that these shall be
private enterprises, although the
municipality reserves to itself the
right to take them over after term
of years.
The Jewish population, Mr.. Yellin
says, is slowly but steadily increas-
ing and he adds that the majority of
the newcomers earn their own living
and do not become burden on the
community.

The fact that Senator Elkins

that he is not desperately i'll.
The report that a surgical
operation is necessary is false. He
has been mending slowly, and there

How long is dollar bill: That
question, suggested by a recent in
teryiew with Secretary MacVeash,

out surprisingly varying answers.

told what the present size is. A
dozen in one office were asked to
give an estimate of the length and
the answers varied from four inches
to eight. The majority of the ans
wers were from four to FIVE inches.

LOCAL OPTION
IN OHIO IS DOOMED so DECLARES
WARREN G. HARDING.

WARREN G. HARDING.
Marion, Ohio, November e.-war-
c-ren G. Harding, defeated Repub-
lican candidate for Governor of
Ohio, sized up the situation in Ohio
with the following striking editorial
tonight:
The election returns suggest a
a current wave of opposition to the
Republican party. Defeat is not
peculiar to Ohio. The dissatisfaction
is not confined to one state. Here
in Ohio the dissatisfaction has been
magnifed by local conditions.
The agricultural forces, basking
in the enjoyment of the best com
pensation they have ever known,
not only reflected the opposition to
protected industries first shown in
Iowa and Kansas, but our Ohio
farmers actually believe there is con-
spiracy of corruption at the State
Capitol, and looked upon Governor
Harmon as its especial foe and the
states deliyerer. A full understand
ing will come later, but it couldn't
be reached in this campaign.
Moreover the farmers and the
village folks actually believed that
George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, was
trying to capture the state govern
ment. 1t did not matter to them
that the Republican candidate was
the only gubernatorial nominee in
90 years that was not Mr.. Cox's
choice and the declination of the
candidate to yield to hypocriticial
denunciation added to this fictitious
apprehension. To these adverse in
fuences was added the weakness of
Republican division. Without trying
to analyze insurgency and measure
rational Republican progress thous-
ands of Republicans felt called upon
to 'insurge' and they did.
A very important influence in
the Ohio fight has not been generally
recognized. The vets in Ohio
have achieved significant victory,
and the extreme 'drys'' have help
ed them to it. The temperance
forces, criticizing the Republican
nominee because he proclaimed al
wish to be fair, have aided their
determined opponents, and the end
of the county as the unit in local
option was written at the polls
Tuesday night.
Forty varied angles led to a
mixed situation in Ohio. The pop
ular strength of Governor Harmon is
not to be disputed. The strength or
weakness of the Republican nom
inee this paper will not discuss.
There has been such sweeping
Democratic wave in Ohio that the
Star inclines to believe that no
Republican candidate could have
won. Perhaps we are prejudiced.
The Republican nominee said on
the eve of the election that he had
neither apology nor defense to
make, and had done his best, and
more is not be expected of any one.
The verdict is record. Let US turn
from politics to business and the
pursuit Of happiness. Marion 20. \
