There was a good sized house al
the Gem theatre last evening to see
the high class bill that Manager
Wells has secured for the week end
show. The amateur act Which was
staged under the direction of Mrs.
Wells made a distinct hit with the
audience. The little girls drilled long
and faithfully for their act and won
we'll merited applause for their cred.
liable performance. The singing of
the little ladies was very pleasing
and their costumes were especially
noteworthy. They drilled like veter-
ans and the entire act was certainly
novelty for the local theatre-going
public. All of the participants de-
serve great credit for the splendid
performance that was given.
Lane and Vance continue to please,
and their act is sure winner every
time it is put on.
The unique comedy feature of Roy.
ale and Stearns is something differ
ent from the ordinary and is we'll
worth going to see.
The bill on the whole is an es-
recially strong one. and is we'll worth
a liberal patronage.

GRAND

! There was a very large crowd in
attendance at the Grand last night
and an excellent show is reported by
those present. Davis and Franklin
presenting their original skit entitled
The Prima Donna and the Rubes
made great hit last night. Miss
Franklin is one of the best vocalists
| in vaudeville today and received a
great innovation on her most artistic
! rendering of the Glow Worm last
night.
Mr.. Davis presents a very classic
line of bright and mirth provoking
, comedy.
Dorothy Wolbert, assisted by Mar
shall Sayels, presenting their comedy
playlet, The Stag Party, was most
! heartily received last night. The
playlet itself is very cleverly written,
and these two clever artists present
it in a finished manner.
Miss Marcellus sings "Daises Won't
TelI' and was forced to respond to
numerous enchors last evening.
There will be the usual children's
matinee this afternoon at $3.50 to
which the admission will be 5 cents
for children and Is cents for adults
The two performances tonight will
conclude the present bill, and as it
has met with so much favorable CON-
ment large crowds will no doubt be
in evidence.

Tho Holland Primrose.

There is u plant in Holland known
as the evening primrose. which grows
to u height Of five or six feet and bears
a profusion Of large yellow flowers 50
brilliant that they attract immediate
attention, even at great distance.
but the chief popularity about the
plant is the fact that the flowers.
which open just before sunset. burst
into bloom so suddenly that they give
one the impression Of some magical
agency. A man who has seen this sud-
den blooming says it is just as if some
one had touched the land with a wand
and thus covered it all at once with a

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

Under the heading, "Playing Poll
tics with Ballinger," the Minneapolis
journal says:
II one wants evidence that human
Nature is not much changed by exalt
ed Office, one needs but observe the
operations of the BallingerPinchot
joint committee, composed of a num-
Der OF grave senators and prominent
members of the house. They perform
like bunch of aldermen putting
through a resolution to vacate street
without letting the AUDITING property
owners know about 1t.
Here is case where the reputation
and standing of member of the
presidents cabinet is involved. The
question at issue is whether Secretary
Ballnger has or has not done his
duty. The committee took testimony
Tor months. 1t came together two
days ago to consider its findings, but
1t didn't consider them. it met and
found that a minority OF the commit
tee was ready to render verdict at
once and consider the testimony aft
erward, after the traditional method
of Justice OF the peace. Less than
4 quorum of the commillee has con-
demned Secretary Ballinger. Now if
lEss than quorum of congress by
similar sharp practice should adopt
the report, the scheme of separating
Mr.. Ballinger from his reputation
would. be completed according to the
shrewdest practice of the ward eau.
Gus.
The Journal has been of the opil-
ION that Mr.. Ballinger ought to retire
from the cabinet, because his useful
ness as a public servant has depart
cd. and he has become burden on
the administration. Mr.. Ballinger has
shown no disposition to retire volun-
sarily, probably because he did not
want to quit while the charges made
~ CLAWS were undetermined. His
natural disposition to fight his enc
mrfes will be strengthened rather than
weakened by the combination in the
committee, which seems to want to
use his case for political purposes.
If the members of the minority in
the Joint committee expect a cabinet
official to assume and maintain a
dignity commensurate with his great
Office, they should begin by showing
a like regard for their own grea;
Offices. The late proceedings in the
committee do no, carry that impress
sion to the country.

Michigan says the book Under the
license law OF all of these states ade-
possible. The fundamental trouble lies
of course in the lack of proper Hcens-
ing authorities and restrictions by way
of conditions of license. In Ohio. un-
der the tax law, there is no check upon
the number of saloons. nor do condi-
lions attach to the privilege which
prevent men of no responsibility or
even of bad character from engaging
in the traffic. The state Of Ohio is
eyer-salooned and the general type OF
liquor places is low.
Too Many Saloons.
In Indiana there is also supera-
hundance of saloons. The statutes i'm
pose no limitations in regard TO their
number, and the license fees have
been put at figure which makes it
to easy for financially irresponsible
men to embark in it. The most direct
cause of the deterioration of the sa-
looms has been that the licensing pow.
err is in the hands of county or munich
pal authorities. II anything is taught
by the experience of license legislation
it is that to make elective councils and
similar modes the licelAsing authority
Is uniformly a bad policy.
Among other things it results in a
direct invitation to liquor sellers to be
come active in politics. In Other
words. it enables them to control the
person to whom they are indebted fol

that they really prescribe in wha1

Indianapolis. Ind, June THE
ers' Association for this year has been
received in this city, and it pays a
large amount of attention to the sa-
loon situation in Indiana. Much space
is devoted also to the clean up" move
ment which the brewers inaugurated
throughout the country sometime ago.
and it says that the results have been
encouraging. It is said that this move
ment has been successful particularly
in the cities of Milwaukee, Chicago.
Springfield, Galveston. San Francisco,
Detroit, Denver and others. Indiana
is pointed out as one Of three states in
which the local option movement ap-
pears to have been set in motion by
the temperance wave. The others are
Michigan and Ohio. The local option
movement is declared to be the out
growth of the temperance agitation
which has swept over the Middle West.
Work in Milwaukee.
1t is said that in Milwaukee the
"clean up movement has put out of
business over 100 saloons of the bad
kind, and that this result was brought
about through cooperation with the
| local authorities.
The book says the trouble has been
| that there have been too many salons
laws; that the saloons control local
officials. and that the licensing power
| is in the hands of local officials,
which, it says, is the wrong plan.
1t is declared that it is clear in Ohio
and Indiana that the deciding factor in
| local option elections has been the con.
lition of the saloons. 1t is said that in
| some cases the movement for local
prohibition came from an outward
stimulus, as for example the Anti-Sa

in two directions: First. in fragrant
disregard for both statutory and local
regulations as to hours of selling, re

men, ETC.; secondly. in pernicious &C.

tional instances and that in districts
essentially rural in character, does 10
cal option appear to have been enacted
in response to sentiment indicating
a prohibition conviction. Elsewhere
especially in counties with large urban
populations, it seems extremely UNI

have been obtained had it not been for
the popular disgust with the prevailing
methods of liquor selling.

In estimating the risk of accident
overlook one of its most important
factors. This is found in what may
special hazards of modern life, those
which come into existence when a
man departs from his usual routine.
They naturally vary more or less, ac-
cording to the predictions and cir
cumstances of the individual. but in
one form or another they exist for al
most all of us. Perhaps the most
common of them, and by no means
the least important, Is connected with
the outing season which is now about
to begin.
- The differentiation of work and the
massing of population in large towns.
both of which are unavoidable results
OF our complex modern life, make
temporary change of scene and occu-
patton advisable for all who can af-
ford it, and the multiplication of rail-
road and steamboat lines makes such
change easily possible. The result
is that the majority of people in what
are called comfortable circumstances
plan to take at least one outing each
year, and sometimes more. Each Of
these outings involve for the person
taking it the running Of risks which
are not incident to his daily life. Let
alone the danger attaching to travel
by rail or water. though this is far
from being a negligible quantity. q
man does a lot of things when he Is
away from home which he does not
ordinarily do. and which are bound to
be more or less unfamiliar to him.
