WdSotoAA NSh
Come out men nave nndlIJ
If Brush. got together and
came out of the
brush. They have done more
than that, having fired their first
broadside. AS was to be expect
ed of an aggregation assembled
bv the distillers, brewers and
corporation interests, their artll'
lery was loaded with mud. The
men who under the Baily regime
kept a hoard of heelers around
the state house, drawing $500 to
$500 per day from the state,
and doing nothing else and the
men who received the per diem
are with the crowd who are &C
cusing Governor Stubs of ex-
travagance. That crowd con-
slider money paid by the state
for other than political ends
wasted, and when used to build
up the educational institutions
of the state, worse than wasted.
But Mr.. Stitch(not Snich)
manager of the Wagstaff boom
has a worse crime to lay at the
door of Mr.. Stubs. He goes to
the extreme length of accusing
Stubs of getting contracts from
the railroads, and as a more
aggravated crime, from the Stand
ard Oil company out of which he,
Stubs made money, and worse
and more of it, he accumulated
wealth rapidly by his shrewd
deals with these immature and
innocent corporations. That
settles Mr.. Stubs. Any man
who has the gall to take a con-
tract from a railroad or the
managers of Standard Oil out of
which he could make living,
much less accumulate wealth, is
unworthy of the respect OF the
people Nof Kansas. But Mr..
Stitch in another count of his
indictment charges another and
baser crime. Which is, that by
those unholy contracts with
these guileless corporations, the
Governor took his wealth from
them, and they being thus film
famed by him, in order to re-
coup themselves in turn were
forced to, and did take it out of
the people. There was no other
way out of it. Stubs by his
better knowledge of business
had beat these ignorant hard
working corporations, and they
stood to pay their stockholders
two to three hundred per cent
annual dividends and when
Stubs had fixed their clock,
there was no road out, but for
them to take 1t out of you and
me, and that IS what they did.
So at least says Mr.. Stitch. We
have met Mr.. Stubs once or
twice and he seems to be a
gentleman, pleasant, kindly and
one to make an even deal. We
never thought of him as a man
who would thus take advantage
Of an unsuspecting, honest cor
noration like a railroad or Stand
ard Oil, but Mr., Stitch says he
did and that settles it.

jectS. 1t was amusing to notice the
facial expressions of the various sub
jects in the different scenes. They
seemed somewhat worried when they
tried TO catch the imaginary mice
that they thought were trying to run
up the legs of their trousers and a
few moments later they wore smile
extending from ear to ear as they
gathered imaginary dollars that were
scattered over the stage by a hyp-
motto clCudburst. The last scene was
a dancing number in which the sub
jects were clad in female wearing ap-
parel and held a regular two-step to
the Gelectation of the audience. At
the conclusion of the performance
young lady was put into a hypnotic
trance to sleep for a period of As
hours. She is on exhibition in the
display window of the Hub clothing
store. Wednesday night she will be
taken to the airdome and awakened
at 8 o'clock. The mental telepathy
exhibition in which Duncan was as
sisted by Miss Maxine Hewitt and
the demonstrations in catalepsy and
bloodless surgery added novelty to
the performance. Tonight the car
rier boys of the local papers will be
guests of Manager R. II. Taylor and
Professor Duncan.

Gives Producers Courage.

THE independence of theatre own
ers throughout the country in offering
TO book the shows of any producer has
given courage to many producers to
break away from the exclusiveness of
the trust Comparisons of the attrac-
lions offered by both sides proves
this, and there are rumors thai still
more producers will break away from
the syndicate. They have clear
headed business reason for doing so.
They will have greater freedom and
can make more money
at is not alone those who have al
ready been mentioned that will bene-
fit by the new development which will
surely give theatre owners through
out the length and breadth of the
country a greater variety and better
quality of high class attractions for
their patrons. Theatregoers and the
press have for years been demanding
this departure from the old methods
which denied them the greater part
that was good in the amusement field
and it is these latter who will undoubt-
eddy show the highest appreciation"

FIGHT OF THEATRE
Independents Claim That Their
Break With Trust Is Win
ming Public Applause.
PURPOSE is ACCOMPLISHED
Opening of Playhouses to All Pro-
ducers, 1t Is Said, Will Bring
Better Results.

THE successful revolution that has
taken place in the theatrical world
within the past few weeks has brought
forth an unusual amount of comment
in the daily papers and periodicals
throughout the country ana theatre
goers have become much interested
in the battle which has been raging"
writes Richard Lambert, head of the
press department of the National The
atre Owners association.
The National Theatre Owners as
ISOLATION has almost completely &C
complished tcs purpose the directors
had in mind when the organization
was formed just one month ago, that
of opening the doors of every COM
bination theatre in the country to all
meritorious attractions desiring time
and thereby giving to playgoers the
best entertainment the country af-
fords That this movement is almost
unanimously appreciated is demon
strated in the f1ocking to the independ-
ent standard theatre owners, produc-
ing managers and players in numbers
that scarcely dared be hoped for. De-
sertions from the theatrical trust have
been more marked during the last
few days, and there is every indica-
ton that they will be even greater
within the next week.

Recommends That Council Act

tons.
FOR BIG DEMONSTRATION
Sale of Dangerous Explosives in AID
vance of Day Will Result in
Prosecutions.

Mayor G.. W. McCaskrin presented
the following message to the city
council at its regular meeting last
evening:
To the honorable city council, city
Of Rock Island, Il.-Gentlemen: l
have the honor to present a short
message covering some of the import
ant matters relative to the cleanli-
cess and health of the city.
First-It is to be understood that
there is today an ordinance cover
ing the disposal of garbage in the
alleys of the city. Now that the
garbage wagons are passing through
the alleys collecting the same it is
incumbent upon the property owners
to haye sealed buckets for garbage
placed in a position accessible to
the collectors. The failure to pro-
vide such receptacles is punishable
by city ordinance.
Second-Those that have horses
or other animals in the city should
by the terms of the ordinance pro-
vide suitable boxes to hold the clean
ings from stables properly covered
and in a sanitary condition.
Third-There is much complaint
about waste paper and other rubbish
that is thrown on the streets. There
is also an ordinance prohibiting the
throwing of waste papers and other
rubbish in the streets and alleys of
the city.
Now if we are TO have a clean
city we all must do our part in this
matter and if not these ordinances
Will be enforced to the letter. These
matters l call your attention in or
der that with your assistance we
Jointly will be able to give this mat
ter wide publicity with the end in
view to accomplish good wholesome
results.
A Sane Fourth of July.
Relative to the matter of a sane
Fourth of July 1 will take this op-
portunity of calling your attention
to the fact that it is incumbent upon
US as a city to take this matter up.
l would recommend that there be
such steps taken by your honorable
body as will place all kinds of ex-
plosives under the direct manage
ment of a committee of adults and
designate some place for the dis
charge of the same. 1t is highly
proper that we act at once and to-
ward that end would suggest a COM
mittee of three to act with the sew
eral business organizations in MAX
ing a commendatory demonstration
on that day or evening, provision be-
ing made for a supply of fireworks
Further, anyone selling dangerous
explosives on or before that date will
re prosecuted according to law
Asks Railroad Cooperation.
Great strides have been made to-
ward the matter of securing parks
for the city and we, through the eff
forts of the park board, should con-
graduate ourselves for the work al
ready accomplished. Now l would
suggest that steps be taken to en-
courage the railroads leading into

alleys by ascertaining the number
of persons, firms or corporations who
secured the permission to open pave
ments and excavate streets and issue
orders compelling such concerns to
replace same at once in their orig
inal form under penalty of the city
ordinances.
I recommend that every one of
the contemplated public improve
ments be vigorously pushed. And
that others be started by the intro
duction of ordinances covering same
