Since | came to think of it, Mr.. Edi-
tor, l have been sending quite a
number of circulars to Wenatchee in
regard to publishing a Hampton
History" and as family histories are
quite the proper thing just now in
the East and South, claim that We
are not quite dead, and when our
history is published and you note
the great number of fairly good
characters and the small number of
bad characters, you may feel like
lifting your hat, provided it be not
to a rebel general.
Now, Mr.. Editor, this induces me
to say that l think it is high time
when the old bitterness should be
sweetened with charity and that we
should all ''strive to live with love
and care upon the level by the
square, and that we should all try
to secure the greatest good to the
greatest number. Please tell us il
there is any other way to secure this
than by the Initiative and referen-
dunn" Also please tell us of some
way to change the prevailing love of
money to a love of happiness for
ourselves and our fellow beings.
Should not the true happiness which
comes from an unselfiSh kindness to
the needy be the chief object of hui
man endeavor? Does not the man
who makes money his god need an
influence capable of convincing him
of his mistake?

'BURG0MASTER''
SEATTLE HIT
Big Musical Comedy Comes
Direct From Sound
Monday Night.

That THE Burgomaster, billed
to appear in the Wenatchee theatre
next Monday night, is one of the top
liners is proved by the run it is en-
joying at the Grand in Seattle this
week. In commenting on the rea-
son for its popularity, the Post-In-
tclligencer says:
"The Burgomaster," as good as
ever, and better than at times, is
back again in Seattle, playing its an
nual engagement at the Grand. The
answer to the quest for the reason
of The Burgomaster's" popularity
is not hard to find, after sitting
through the performance again. In
the first place a considerable share
of the credit must go to Gus Vein
burg in the title role. Weinburg
was the original Peter Stuyvesant;
he came here with the piece years
ago and made himself favorite; he
came back again yesterday, and that
he is a familiar and welcome figure
on the local stage was demonstrated
yesterday when his first appearance
was greeted by hearty applause.
In the second place, William P.
Cullen, who manages and presents"
the attraction, does not let it run
to seed" He knows the value of
property like 1.-The BurgOmaster"
and he appreciates the fact that on
ly by keeping it up can he hope to
reap success as figured in the box
office receipts season after season.
Thus this time he has a complete
new outfit of costumes and his COM
pany is first class. Right here it
may be said that the reports of the
scarcity of good looking, singing and
dancing chorus girls as reported
from the East, must be due to Gull
lens having raided the market early
and coralled the best, for his group
this year as as pretty and capable
an aggregation of chorus girls as one
could want with any girl show
In the third place, and this is the
real reason, THE Burgomaster" has
real music, and its comedy is based
on wit; always clean and whole
some. The idea of the story is one
ly be a few years before the good
old piece wears out its annual well
come.

HOME RULE FOR SMALLER MU.
inequalities.

There is no reason why move
ment for the application of the prin-
ciple of local self government to mu-
inequalities of the 3rd and 4th class
should not be led by Wenatchee. In
this city the absurdity of general
law for the organization of munich
palities is clearly manifest. The
people here do not need a guardian
to tell them how to best administer
the affairs of their city. They should
be permitted to frame their own
charter for the government of the
municipality.
Legislative interference in munich
pal activities has been one prolific
cause of municipal misrule. Next
to this is the insistence on general
law for creation of municipal cor
porations. Some states have broken
away from it and permit smaller
cities a reasonable amount of free
dom in making their own charters
If Wenatchee were permitted to
frame her own charter, some of the
Anticipated restrictions which are
now imposed would be done away
with. The government of the city
would be put on a business basis, the
responsibility of administration
would be conferred, and economy and
efficiency would result.
If Chelan county's representative
can find time to make a study of
municipal administration in its re-
lation to state authority between
now and the meeting OF the legisla-
ture and lead a movement for the
extension of the idea of home rule
for municipalities to the class to
which Wenatchee belongs. the peo-
pie of Wenatchee will be under deep
obligations to him.

THE INITIATIVE AND THE REF.
ERENDUM.

In the legislature which meets this
winter, the questions of initiative
and referendum and the recall will
be presented. In several states of
the middle west these questions have
been made party issues. There is no
gainsaying but that in the demand
for government more responsive to
the public will, these expedients will
find able champions.
The chief value in these expedi-
ents is not so much in the probability
that they will be frequently used as
that the possession of these instru-
mentalities by the people will cause
legislatures and public officials to act
with more caution. They operate to
put a check on the activities of the
professional lobbyist.
Historically the referendum in a
limited form was used in America
before the adoption of the present
federal constitution. The constitu-
zion Of Massachusetts, was submitted
to the voters for ratification as early
as 1873. The initiative is a Swiss de-
vice whereby a certain percentage of
the voters may petition for the enact
ment of a law and the legislature is
under compulsion to submit it to a
vote.
In Switzerland, where these ex-
pedients have been in use for years,
the results have proven most salts

a bill with snap and 60 pleased

steal act which is far above the av-
erage and they throw a few jokes

BY T. p. TEBsET1s.

The Orpheum bill for the current
week is good all the way through.
1t illustrates what a satisfactory
vaudeville performance can offer tn
the realm of legitimate entertain
ment and without the aid of vul-
gar associations.
Kayijama, the handwriting .,ex-
pert, gives an entertaining little
talk and performs some really re-
markable feats in ambidextrous
writing. He is young man and
evidently at the beginning of a ca
reer of promise.
"Paganinni's Short" is entirely
satisfying as a spectre and fairly
so as violinist. His execution Is
far superior and the quality of his
tones, and we have heard local tai
ent play Schubert's selection as
well, but the act is pleasing and
the general eect excellent. Henry
Horton and HIS company present a
rural playlet, uncle LENS Diem
na," with ability and make the most
of the humorous situations with
which the sketch abounds.
Herr Nadrage, much like other
ventriloquists, Is clever and enter
tanning. James Cook and Olin To-
REM, in a tramp" act, are at their
best and, all in al, are one of the
best teams on the bill. Their make
ups are good, their antics funny
and their patter bright and inter
esting.
The only Earring note in an I'M
usually clean performance is the
somewhat coarse and unskillsIl
work in parts Of one of the later
sketches.
The term polite vaudeville" is
unsatisfactory, as 1t smacks of n.y.
pocrasy, but with the purpose
which it describes we can all be
in accord. This weeks bill at ,Ie
Orpheum represents very we'll the
sort of performance for which the
friends of refined vaudeville are
striving.

at the outset opposed to submitting
the suffrage amendment to the peo-
pie. They, like the corporations,
feared the effect of women's votes.
Mrs. Emma Smith De Voc, vet
eran suffrage campaigner, saw de-
feat ahead If something wasn't
done. She made it plain to the leg
islature that the Equal Suffrage
league wanted no alignment with
teh local option forces-it wanted
equal suffrage and nothing else.
And to make good her statement
Mrs. De Voc gave the fate of her
bill into the hands of a wet" SEN
ator, one of the cleverest of the old
time politicians in the state.
This "wte" senator was George
U. Piper of Seattle. He hammered
the saloon interests, the corpora
ton interests and all the other op-
posing interests with all sorts Of
dire threats and the cry went up,
whats the matter with George?"
And George did it. Before the
astonished legislators were awake
he had traded and log rolled until
he had enough votes to pass the
resolution. Then he sat back and
waited for the psychological mo-
ment. 1t came in one day when
the bitterest opponents of equal suf-
frage were absent and George
showed the bill through and had the
governors signature to it in no
time.
Since then woman suffrage clubs
have sprung up all over the state.
Wealthy women are giving their
money and their labor; poor women
are giving their time. The women
have become politicians and have
disproved all arguments of their op-
ponents as to their ability to think
in terms of politics. They have
made good on the canvass of the
state and now they are awaiting the
counting of the ballost on Novem-
Der 8.
In the meantime they are behav,
ing like typical women, unable to
see defeat, or like typical politi-'
clans, unable to admit the posi-
bility of defeat. Either of which
entities them to the ballot.

Lorraine was the stroekeeper and
to her little cracker box establish

ping. After having priced various
non-existant articles, and looked at
the major portion of the magma
tive stock, Florine wound up. the
excursion, by saying: well,
don't knows / want anything today,
i was just looking around"
Then it was Lorraine's turn to
buy, and the question arose as to
what kind of a store Florine should
run. Finally 1t was decided that a
restaurant would be about right.
and the elder girl hustled away to
prepare for customers. After hav-
ing carefully displayed the little set
of play dishes upon a small table,
Florine announced In loud voice:

Whereupon Lorraine closed up

skirts about her and swept into the
imaginary restaurant with the air
of a millionaire. Kneeling down

she waited impatiently for the walt.
