Graft LegislaJiOn.

Grating legislators are strong in the
limelight just at present. Indignation
due to exposure naturally centers upon
bride taking legislators. But three in
dependent factors must combine or
connive in order to put law on the
statute books. The upper and lower
houses check each other. and the en-
ecutive checks both. So much for the
methods by which bills become laws.
Much is said of bought off legisla.
ton. In this case the game is largely
one of pirate against pirate. Some
times the whole people suffer through
these deals. Again only the constitu-
ents of the grating legislators are
outraged. Their man has sold them
out and fouled the home nest. Legis-
latures have power to purge their
membership. but that is only locking
the stable door after the horse has
been stolen. The sure cure for graft
legislation is ceaseless vigilance on the
part of the electorate. ceaseless and
by no means gingerly.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE Soldiers of Fortune.

Messrs Metzerott & Berger of the Co
lumbia Theater have arranged for the
production of The Soldiers of Fortune"
by the Columbia Players next week. The
play is one in which Miss Hall, the new
leading woman. will have opportunity to
display her versatility. The part she
will play differs materially in character
from the one in which she attained her
initial triumph before a Washington audi
ence.
THE Soldiers of Fortune as drama
tized by Augustus Thomas follows almost
to the letter the book of that name by
Richard Harding Davis. in many in
stances the dialogue of the author being
used and provision being made for only
such limited additions as were neces-
sary to adapt it for the stage. The play
is in four acts and calls for an excep-
tionally large company. Paul McAlilSter
will have the leading role.
In the original production, at the Savoy
Theater. New York, March Il. 1902, the
cast included such notable performers
as Robert Edeson Guy Bates Post Doro-
thy Donnelly. Wallace Eddinger, Thomas
w. Ross and others.
The work of constructing the big scenic
sets required for the play is well under
way. under the direction of George Rex
Wilson Stage Director Edwin II. Curtis,
for his people, promises an exceptionally
coed performance Monday night.

elusive permission to enter the palace

picture camera has taken in making a
record of things important in the history
of the world.
