MASK OF COMEDY HIDES
GRIEF.

"Were sure Of your success. Baby
held thumbs for you until Ills
o'clock, when she died"
Thus began the telegram which
came to Trixie Friganza, Who heads
the cast in The Sweetest Girl in
Psris," Tuesday morning, and between
the lines of the message is revealed
one of those tragedies of stage life of
which the public so seldom known
"Baby," is Miss Friganza's adopted
daughter, little Margaret Friganza
whose coming into the world . few
weeks ago cost the life of its girl
mother, to whom Miss Friganza had
been protector as we'll Is older sister
since the death of their parents. It
vas to make q home for this younger
sister that Miss Friganza built her
house At Bensonhurst by the Sea,
home which the young girl did not
leave when she was married about .
year ago.
This summer the premature birth
of the baby caused the death of the
young mother, who had always been
frail, and in her grief Miss Friganzs
had the child given to her legally,
intending to lavish on it all the love
and care with which she had surround
ed its mother. Leaving the infant in
the care of a trained nurse and another
sister, she came west to begin reher.
sal in the Askin production and on
last Thursday came the first intima-
ton of the child's danger. She plead
ed to be allowed to 60 east for . few
hours, but determined to sacrifice her
personal feelings when it was pointed
out to her that her absence on the
final days of rehearsal would mean
postponement of the production, a
costly proposition for both the man
agement and company.
Sunday night, after the last curtain
had fallen on the successful premiere,
the comedienne, who a moment before
had been laughing and singing gayly
on the stage, rushed to her dressing
room with the tears streaming down
her face.
"My baby is dying, my baby is dy-
ing, and can't he with her." she sob.
bed to a friend who had gone back of
the stage to greet her.
In the eastern home at that moment
the spirit of the child, who Miss Fri.
CANA likes to think held on until
after the successful first performance
was over, had taken flight. Members
Of the family thoughtfalIy delayed the
sad news until Tuesday morning, the
time set for the funeral. And Tuesday
night Miss Friganza, appearing as a
dashing widow, kept the audience at
the Pabst in merry mood by her jest.

When Col. Roosevelt was in Omaha
September End, and made a speech al
the Auditorium, he was introduced BY
Senator Burkett. In response to thu
senator's Introductory address Colonel
Roosevelt gave him a splendid en-
dOrsement. The former president
remarks were as follows:
II am particularly pleased to be
introduced by Senator Burkett," said
the Colonel, "because he was one of the
men on whom l especially relied while
l was president, both while he was in
the house and in the senate. On one
occasion he paid q tribute to me which
may have been entirely unmerited, in
which he described what the typical
American public servant must be. He
said: In the great struggle of life he
(the good American) must be prepared
to take the side of the man rather than
Of the dollar. Old time methods in
politics, old time ideals of government
tai duty and prerogatiye are relocated
to the junk shop of political antiquities.
No man who is skeptical in his own
mind of the Righteousness of the I'D.

people have taken socially or morally
can have their confidence. No man
who is fearful of popular rule, or is
more afraid Of the peoples oppression
of predatory wealth with law than of
the people without law is eligible to
popular esteem
I'm my own case" Colonel Roose.
welt continued, "All l can say is that
l have endeavored to live up to that
description and that l was able to
accomplish what l did accomplish in
Washington only because of the way
in which l was backed by men like
Burkett, and as We have q
guest from Iowa present, let me say,

DISPROPORTIONATE LECIS-
LATION.

During the recent primary election
campaign incidental reference was
made to the disproportionate and un.
fair representation in the legislature
which has prevailed in Nebraska for
so many years. Former Supreme
Court Reporter, Judge Wilbur F..
Bryant, in a published letter stated the
case in plain language As follows:
in direct violation of the constitu.
ton the legislature for twenty-five
years has refused to reapportion the
representation in our legislature. One
county below, south of the Platte river.
which divides the state, has 10000
inhabitants and three representatives;
another has l 900 inhabitants and one
representative and float. North of
the Platte Thurston and Dakota coun.
ties are unrepresented in the legisla.
ture except by a float with Cunning
county; and Cedar and Pierce, with
$4,000 inhabitants, have only one
representative. Douglas county ought
to have thirteen members in the lower
house and four senator's. 1t has nine
representatives and three senators.
Do you pretend to say that q legisla.
ture like ours voices the people Of the
slater"
The way this condition was brought
about and the reason Why it has not
been remedied rest on the same foun.
datlon. The last legislative redistrict-
ing in Nebraska was made in 1887 on
the basis of a state census that sub
stantially confirmed the then existing
apportionment. A new apportionment
should have been had in 1891 upon
the federal census of 1890, but the
popnlist legislature refused to act
because Omaha would have been the
largest gamer. The mid-decade state
census went by the board owing to the
dro"th and panic poverty which
afflicted the state in 1898 and 1894
and the redistricting due after the
1900 census went by the board through
the greedinesso of overweighted districts
declining to consent to reduced rep
resentation.
This explains how Nebraska comes
to be suffering in 1910 the injustice of
q legislative apportionment, made in
1887. In the intervening twenty
three years the population of this state
has been largely redistributed. Great
areas that were then almost uninhab.
tied have become dotted with pros
porous towns and villages and tracts
to have been wholly desert
and barren have been made to yield
prolific crops. Omaha, which in 1885
had 10000 people, will have more
than twice that number by this years |
census. These later settled communi.
ties, however, have practically no voice |
in their law making corresponding to
their numbers.
The first thing needed to assure the
rule of the people in Nebraska is q
redistricting for legislative representa-.
ion that will conform with the present
lay conditions and remove the shack.

human Consciousness of any under
standing of the essential oneness of
Mind, a permanent footing for gov
ernment cannot be found. Jesus un-
derstood this when he turned aside the
clamor of the Jews for the re-estab-
lishment through the Messiah of the
old Jewish rule. He knew that until
each individual composing the people
was governed consciously by God there
could be no real harmony. 1t was not
by an outward rebellion against the
authority of Caesar that the kingdom
could be restored to Israel The real
kingdom of Israel was the brotherhood
of those who understood spiritual life
and love and the government of one
Mind.
In speaking of the change of jacobs
name to Israel, Mrs. Eddy says, HE
was to become the father of those,
who through earnest striving followed
his demonstration of the power of
Spirit over the material senses; and
the children of earth who followed his
example were to be called the children
of Israel, until the Messiah should re-
name them" (Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures, p. 309) Chris
tian Science is teaching men how to
become the children of Israel, through
their earnest striving to demonstrate
the power of Spirit over the material
senses; through this demonstration
they shall win the new name prom
ised in Revelation; that is, they shall
rise above all materiality and reach the
pure consciousness of Gods kingdom.

Harmony Is Means to
Progress in Government

Individualism and colectivism in
government are terms which in a
human sense of things stand in opposi-
tion to one another. Individualism has
been supposed to lead to such abuses
of 'one man power as is seen in GER
tain great corporations where the
ruthless selfishness of a few violates
the rights of many. But clearly seen
1t was one mans violation of the rights
of other individuals which made this
corporate tyranny possible; and col
lectivism rightly seen means exactly
what indlvidualism really means,
namely, the freedom and peace of
every individual composing the whole.
Religious thought through many ages
has also seemed to be torn between
these two apparently opposite ideas of
the freedom of the individual and the
safety of the whole. The simple fact
is, however, that the harmony OF the
whole, that is, perfect oneness can
only exist where each individual is per-
fectly free and right. The two ideals
are not two but onA.
But so long as we look at govern
ment as carried on among erring NOR
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-26

in their joyful, necessary obedience to
Principle, Love. Only mortal man can
say that his right to do as he pleases
includes the inclination or right to do
what is wrong or discordant; but as
even the thoughts of a human sense of
harmonious mind are seen to move in
right relations with each other, without
contradictions and Inconsistencies, so
the perfection of harmony must gov
ern all the ideas of Cod and discord,
contradiction, opposition, conflicting
points of view, clashing interests, are
seen to belong only to an imperfect,
that is, false sense of what Mind or
intelligence is.
BRIGHT INDICATIONS
Amid all the seeking and striving,
however, mankind is becoming better.
The right of every man to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness is more
and more clearly that which the vari-
Gus experiments in government aim to
secure, and while there is still much
human selfishness and blind self-will at
spirituallzation of human concepts of
government is drawing nearer. The
Jews entrusted their government to
Moses because they believed that he
was guided by God and loyal to his
trust as the representative of the spir-
itual ideal. 1t was this confidence in
Moses inspiration that moved the Is
raelites to leave Egypt and follow into
the untried dangers of the wilderness.
The rebellion of Korah was an exam
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-26

tails we can never see harmony, under
whatever system. Among human be-
irGs the existence of "mirids many"
seems to make the freedom of the in
dividual an impossibility. If one man
carries out his will lie interferes with
his neighbor's wish or will. But when
the concept of man which Christian
Science brings is understood and
oheyed, even under human conditions,
the perfect harmony of the whole and
the perfect freedom of the individual
begins to be proved. In the present
sense of things perfect freedom for the
Individual seems impossible; but the
law of Love may so constrain each one
that the self-sacrifiCe which may seem
necessary to make the whole harmon
ious is given gladly and becomes thus
the free will of the individual.
Love solves these problems until such
time as the perfect harmony of the ono
Mind, God shall be seen to govern all
"on earth as it is in heaven" Then 1t
will be understood that all things in one
perfect Mind are forever in perfect har-
mony with each other and in perfect
freedom, too, because their freedom is

ENGLAND MUST BE FRIEND
OR FOE, SAYS GERMAN PAPER
National Organ Hopes That King
George FavorS Alliance

BERLIN, June 25.-"Great Britain
and Germany will at some future time
have to decide whether they will be-
come real friends or open enemies. The
development of nglo-German relations
must lead either to an alliance or war
between the two countries"
This emphatic declaration is made by
the "Magdeburgische Zeitung," in an
article on Great Britain's policy to-
wards Germany during King Edwards
reign and the attitude which England
may assume during the reign just be-
gun.
The "Magdeburgische Zeitung" pro-
ceeds to express the hope that King
George will use his influence in favor
of an alliance, and states that Germany
will gladly agree to a compact with
Britain provided she is not thereby re-
quired to limit her navy, or, as the
national organ expresses it, "place her
defensive armaments under foreign
control"
