ACR0BATlC ACT
Nh. SUCCESS AT PARK

Morris and Wilson, the two Austral-
ian pantomime acrobatlc actors, were
an instant success from the moment
| they appeared at the Park Theater
last night, In their uproarously funny
act. "The Crazy Holsters" So absurd
is the headgear and so perfect the
costlming that II is moments before
one realizes that the third figure on
the stage is really only dummy But
II is a dummy that has as much nat
ural suppleness as the two live host
lers have. They tumble on and on
the stage In the most ludicrous man
ner with perfect immunity from con-
tact with the stage or wings. They
bounce about at times as though they
were incased In rubber paddings and
at other times hit with a thunderous
thud. The act is just beyond descrip-
ton; 1t all happens so rapidly that
1t seems an accident and for this very
reason the audiences roar with laugh
ter, although at the time they are
watching an act that they would sit
and cheer for its acrobatic qualities
II they were not so thoroughly taken
up by the humor.
Miss Sandart as singing soul
brette is very pleasing, There Is
more than one laugh In the odd act OF
the Medoras in which they appear on
a miniature stage. They have set cat
talk to music and the crowd approves
of their attempt. The Melnotte Sis
tiers were also well received.

FIRST MOTHERS 4.
CROWD NEW BIJ0U

The popular Bijou broke all records
last week in the way Of attendance,
the opening night being no exception.
Three shows were given Saturday
and each played to capacity. last
night a complete change of program
was given which called for full
house and got II. The new bill in
cludes the overwhelmingly funny farce
"Slattery's Boarding House." In which
the members Of the American Mus
ical Comedy Company are given ann
pie opportunity to display their best
talents and versatility. This farce is
along lines entirely different .hnn
those presented previously and pro-
duces some fine character work TIE
vaudeville numbers consist of the
usual surprises. and there are .'lrse
complete sets of new motion pictures.

The Bijou displayed the S. Il. O.

the first show last night It was by
far the banner first-night crowd OF
the season. the opening night OF

best described as a "corker," and

and three sets OF motion pictures are
regarded as AN immense show to give

he claim of the meat trust that

The claim of the meat trust that
the large corn crop and increase in
the number of hogs have lowered
prices instead of an arbitrary order
issued by the trust magnates is
neither reasonable nor PLAUSIBLE. A
corn crop that is not yet all harvest
ed and squealing pigs in the farm
yards waiting to be fattened have not
increased the supply of pork on the
markets in quantity sufficient to
force lowering of prices. The
truth about the matter is when the
big packers were indicted they be-
came frightened and endeavored to
millify the public by a lowering of
prices Their action has only dem
onstrated that they have complete
monopoly and an absolute control of
prices. But as long as corporations
alone are fined and the actual Grim
inals go free, there is. no hope of re-
lief from that monopoly or from any
other.

CHANCE FOR PATRIOTISM.

Men who occupy seats in congress
today are those who sat there be-
fore the November elections. They
constitute the same crowd of nation
al lawmakers that passed the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill. Aldrich and
Payne are there The former still
occupies his place of power at the
head of the finance committee of the
senate Payne still presides over
the ways and means committee of
the house.
Hale's time for quitting has not
come. Lodge, albeit on the verge of
defeat, remains in his old place. Can
non still handles the gavel in the
house. Tawney remains at the head
of the ways and means committee.
These men and their political
coworkers were not chosen in the No
yember election. They are not in
their places because of the recent
mandate Of the people. For the next
three months they will dominate ma
tiona legislation. What will they
do?
In this question lie possibilities.
There may be surprises.
Maybe these men may do some
thing unexpected. One of the most
unexpected things at their hands
would be signs of recognition of the
decision of the nation against their
policies and methods. Suppose--if
such be supposable-they change
their tactics. Suppose them figuring
in the role of patriots. Imagine
them as bowling to the recent ex-
preston of popular will and at least
attempting to make laws to relieve
the people of the burden of the high
cost of living.
T Such things may be out of the
bounds of imagination. Still these
men are given opportunity to show
real patriotism.-Chicago Journal.

Plans on the part of the Burling-
ton and other leading railroad sys-
TENS for a concerted attack upon the
validity of the 2-cent fare law both
in Illinois and Iowa are near COM
pletion, and an announcement rela-
tive to the line of assault is expected
within a short time. Statistical ex-
perts have been at work for some
time gathering data relative to rail-
road earnings and the return on in
vested capital, and as soon as their
computations have been assembled
a committee that was appointed
some time ago to take charge of the
matter will convene and map out a
course of action. 1t is said that it
is too early at present to forecast
whether the legislature in each state
will be asked to repeal the 2-cent
statute or an appeal for redress will
be made to the courts. It is under
stood that the broad ground to be
taken is that the 2-cent rate is con-
fiscatory.

TARIFF RELIEF? YES, IN 1912.

In considering severally during the
past year the claims of different
countries to be entitled to the bene-
fits of the minimum tariff, the case
of Canada gave President Taft par
ticr,ar difficulty and was disposed
of last of all.
After it had fortunately been de-
cided that the penal maximum tariff
imports from that country, negO-
tiations contemplating formal rec
iprocity treaty between Union and
Dominion followed as natural Sc
quence. These negotiations, inter-
rupted during the summer, were re-
sumed in October and continued into
November. They are now in sus-
pension until January, and Mr.. Taft,
accordingly, gives no details in his
message to Congress and only ex-
presses hope that they may be sue
cessful.
1t is evident that Mr.. Taft sin
cerely desires the conclusion of the
proposed Canadian arrangement and
will permit no stand-pat resistance
to interfere with the object of the
negotiations, so far as they are in
the control of the Executive.
The possible reduction in duty on
few Canadian imports that will re-
suit from the success of the nego-
tiations is, however, the only tariff
reduction Mr.. Taft promises the peo-
pie for an entire year. To the wide
spread demand for early relief from
some of the more outrageous pro-
visions of the act of August 5, 1909
which popular demand was evil
denced in very striking fashion dur
ing the campaign the only response
he makes is the response of him
self and the administration leaders
during the campaigns continuance.
That is to say, he again promises
relief through his Tariff Board"
the name by which he dignifies his
assistants" in the matter of the
tariff, whose official character is
questionable and who have no great
er authority than an assistant secre-
tary or stenographer in the Presi-
dents Office or a department clerk.
Mr. Taft says frankly that these "as-
sistants" cannot complete their work
and submit recommendations during
Tie pIOScuI StSolOu. I1S uOpSoa lO"-
ever to present something from them
during the session that begins
year from this December.
1t may be pointed out that it is
extremely doubtful whether any rec
iprocity treaty with Canada, even
if one is arranged, could be ratified
by the Senate before the beginning
of that session.
Annual messages have rarely. con-
tanned passages as disappointing.
With the state of the public mind
and almost every other circumstance
favorable to a reform of at least
four or five schedules, Mr.. Taft ig-
nores the psychological moment, so
far as his party is concerned, and
weakly consents to delay of a
whole year.
Any relief from the more burden
some tariff exactions that is given be-
fore March 4 next must come from
the initiative of insurgents and DEM
ocrats. The White House declines
to furnish the initiative and if an
attempt is made will probably offer
obstruction rather than help.-St.
Louis Republic.

RECALL IN ARIZONA.

The Arizona constitutional con-
vention, by a vote of thirty-five to
eleven, adopted a clause extending
the operation of the recall to the
entire judiciary. With this provis-
ion the recall applies to all elective
officers of the new state. Phoenix
dispatches say: ARIZONA standpat-
tiers predict that President Taft and
congress would veto the new state
constitution because of this clause,
which they assert will make it alb
solutely impossible for the president
to accept the new constitution
Arizona constitution makers can
afford to hold the advance ground
they have taken. Recall is certain
to be generally adopted in this coun-
try. Arizona is simply a few years
ahead of the other states.

JIM HILLS FORECAST.

The newspapers of the east and
f1nanciers interested in the buoy
ancy of speculative stock markets
have been made exceedingly busy
of late seaching for evidence in the
commercial affairs of the day to ex-
plain away Jim Hills prophecy, that
next year would see slackening of
the worlds commerce and indus
tries. Hill, at ripe old age and
fortified in his business affairs by
railroads that are not in great danger
of attack by financial pirates, is free
to give to the world the benefit of
his power of prophesy; power up
on which has been built vast rail-
road systems connecting St. Paul
given it out as his opinion that bus
mess next year must necessarily be
a little bit slower.
Hill did not mean to say that
there was anything akin to the panic
in sight, nor did he intent to excite
alarm. He simply meant that as he
saw the signs of the day it was APP
parent that there must be some re-
trenchment and reform inaugurated
in the conduct of mems business al
fairs. The price of everything which
business men bought had reached
the maximum figure. He reasons
that prices can not forever soar up
wards without finally getting out OF
sight, and it has been the law OF COM
merce and trade for decline to fol-
low a period of upward trend, be-
cause when prices reached a turning
point at which men were compelled
to quit buying, the very fact OF
their enforced halt in purchasing OF
itself caused the decline. Jim Hill
has figured that the price of labor
and commodities had reached extrav-
agant figures this year. He has
seen building operations curtailed
throughout the country during the
last four months of the current cal
manufacturers of steel products are
at the present moment in difficulty to
maintain prices in the face OF more
or less vacant order sheet. 1t has
been made apparent to him that
prices are going to come down.
Business men generally need not
go beyond the operations of their
nearest merchant to know that pur-
chases are Immediately cut to the
point of temporary needs the mo-
ment a declining market arrives.
Today, for instance, with a declin-
ing market for live stock, the inter-
ior packing houses are practically
at a standstil. They dare not buy
for fear that a further decline dur
ing the time in which they are
manufacturing the live stock into
meat will wipe out the margin OF
profit. Likewise is the country mer-
chant compelled to go slow. He dare
not stock up in any large quantity
for fear that further declines will
leave him a selling market at retail
lower than his present buying mark
ct at wholesale. Slow business must
follow fast business for the same
reason that a horse must walk after
a fast run. And it is this reaction
which Jim Hill has prophesied to
the world, and it is sure to come.
There is nothing to be feared except
by the spectators, but business men
should not be blinded by arguments
intended to sustain a boom in specu-
lative commodities Marshalltown
