Take for example Union Pacific. It IS
we'll known that this system paying 10
per cent upon Its stock officially states
that only per cent of this IL from rail-
road earnings. the remaining 4 per cent
being derived from income on investment

shrunk enormously in value since 1907
The question naturally arises. can Union

further? As a straight per cent divi-

sell in the neighborhood of par. There
seems to be no immediate threat to the

deal or doubt. There has been and there

Everything that happens nowadays
seems to be unfortunate. Take the case

The report says Sheriff Linke, "fail-
ed to exercise the power and authori-
ty vested in him in quclling the riot"
and that further neither the sheriff.
mayor Atiiertou. or the chief Of police
Robert Zcficebel, made any attempt
to preserve order during the after
noon Of July s, when the liquor inter-
ests attacked dry detectives "The
sheriff cowardly deserted his post at
the Jail, when. the mob attacked 1t
and left the ja,, and its inmates un-
protected from the assaults of an In
furiatcd mob
"Tbe mayor of the city, having per-
sonal knowledge that the mob was
attacking the jail for the purpose OF
taking the life of Carl Etherington,
instead Of exertlng his authority to
prevent the assault and murder, de-
liberately left the scene Of the riot
and went to his home and to bed"
The report declares the chief of po-
lice and his men made no effort to
control the mob; that when the chief
saw that the mob was about to hang
Etherington he gave no orders to his
policemen to disperse the mob. "On
the contrary" continues the report.
"the chief of police left the Jail yard
and while the iron doors of the Jail
| were being beaten down and while
the man, Etherington, was being taxi
en- from the Jail and hanged at the
corner of the courthouse square,
this man. wearing the uniform of a

The report declares further that the
mayor and the sheriff had IL within
their power to have put down lawless-
ness in Newark had they tried to do
| so.
Had the people Of Newark elect
ed a competent man to the Office OF
sheriff this lynching would never had

holds true of the mayor and the chief
of police, the report adds Neither the
sheriff, mayor nor chief of police IA
vored law enforcement, but they were

says the report. A reoccurrence oI
mob violence can only be prevented
by electing honest men to office.

The Five Merry McGregors, three

singing the auld songs with dash
and sympathy that caused Orpheum
patrons to break into what is pop
ularly termed "tumultous applause"
but Is really a medium of expression
for keen appreciation OF seeing Il
thing done rarely well. The pict-
uresque background of an old Scot
tish picture gallery gives touch of
reality to the music and serves to
introduce the performers by allowing
them, through the thread of the
story, to step down out of their
frames and frolic a bit. The first
song number, a dramatic rendition
by Ford, discloses an artist of tech
nique. native endowment and rare
tact In Interpretation: this. with
abundant temperament, makes the
number real song treat. Highland

of the evening and was delivered with
verve and sympathy. The chorus
was perfectly blended The Nc

A VERY PLEASANT HOME.
Al Because Of the Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem.

! must tell all my brothers how my
wife and ! have solved the problem
which SO boihers those who dwell
where there IL hut little closet room.
with one dressing case between us.
there was not room for ell our things.
AS to the closets. they were crammed
full. and, even under the bed there
were many hat boxes. So l purchased
another dressing ease.
then took all my clothes. which
had bccu crowtIing my wife's In her
dressing case. and arranged them In
my own In the top drawer put my
handkcrchIcfs. collars aud ties and
all those other little articles Of 6ncry
which every man loves so much. In
the second drawer l placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer TO my trousers. neatly folded,
aud my hosiery. My wife was dc.
lighted. as II gave her her own dresser
all to herself aud relieved the closet
somcwh hat. sll
But IN day or so the now plan
proved to have a few defects. so at my
wife's suggestion emptied one Of the
upper drawers IN my dresser. putting
It's contents into the ether aud allowed
my wife TO use the now vacant recep'
taclc for few OF her jnbots. scarfs.
etc. The second day 1t was decided
that my shirts aud trousers could oc'
cupy the same drawer. the lowest one,
so this was fixed. and into the second
drawer my wife moved a few OF her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that I was still using
too much space. | permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawe with my trousers, etc.
| thus giving her both OF the upper
drawers and the next and still lcav'
| ing me plenty OF room In the one bot
tom drawer,
Since then. however. have found
that do not require so much space
for my few things. so have taken then
out Of the bottom drawer and packed
them into hat box, which ] keeI
under the bed, thereby giving my
wife all the drawers In my dressing
case. | find the present arrangement
very satisfactory. as all have to DE-
now is to empty the hat box on TIN
bed when want anything in II ant
then. when have made my selection
sweep the other articles back int
place.
In this way have solved the dress
ing case problem, and everything II
quite pleasant in our home.-Paul Yves
