The tremendous, almost agoniz-
ing. strength Of Margaret Anglin's
latest play, "The Awakening Of
Helen Richie" does not begin to
grip you until the second act, but
from that until the fall of the cur
tain the dramatic situations are so
intense. the emotions manifested
are so profuse and poignant, the
philosophy spoken is SO fearful and
truthful, that there is scarce time
to draw an easy breath between
the various anti-climaxes and the
fip1k supreme scene where the
3 N admits to the minister the
/, sp1icity that has been woven
into the very fiber of her exist
ence.
The emotionalism Is acute but
not overdrawn. The philosophy is
healthy and the situations natural.
Every member Of the cast Is ex-
cellent, but Margaret Anglin-who
has made this probably her strong
est PLAYS wonderful in her tech
niQue, her judgment, and her SUI
peru acting. She attracts the SYM
paNsies of the audience when the
frs, %gliinmering of her anomalous
position in the village of Chester
Is permitted to dawn upon them,
and she never lets loose of that
hold. There are light touches here
and there, just enough to relieve
the strongly drawn situations,
which are as many in number as
an ordinary audience can stand,
and they come as welcome relief
to one overweight nerves.
The story Is that of woman,
Helena Richie, played of course by
Miss Anglin, who has run away
from a cruel husband who Is
drinking himself to death in
Paris. She has taken house in a
small village and here is visited
at irregular intervals by man
who poses as her brother in the
eyes of the village prudes, but who
is in reality the man who aided her
to leave her husband, but who has
not married her. Her love Is as

The Fort Madison Democrat says:

If the Democrat had taken the pains
to inquire into the facts of the case
it would have learned that the
charge is baseless fabrication I'M
worthy of reproduction in a reputable
newspaper. Not only did Mr.. Scott
not act as Mr.. Kenaedy's representa-

committee has not made a trip. ex-

WHY HE is REGULAR.

Congressman William B. Mckinley
of Illinois, chairman of the Republi-
can congressional committee, was
recently asked by the Chicago Trib-
une why he was a regular Republi-
can MIR. McKinley's anrwer was
terse, pointed and conclusive. He
enumerated four reasons, all of them
good ones, as follows:
II am regular Republican because:
a. Popular government has been and
is maintained only by the acquies-
cence of the minority in the will of
the majority. ~ Because the Amer
lean people believe in party govern
ment. f3) To have q responsible
party the minority within it must
abide by the will of the majority. In
the Central American Republics an
ideal insurgent form OF government
prevails. The party elected by the
majority Of voters Is installed in Of
fee and proceeds to administer the
government. Thereupon the In
surgent minority starts revolution.
f4) Because / agree with president
Taft that personal predictions should
give way to party solidarity TO &C
conplish the good which united actlon
ON important principles secures
Mr.. Mckinley has done the Repub'
lican party and the country good ser
vice nv setting forth the above facts
So clearly and conyincingly- His
grounds are well chosen and his pc
sition unassailable.

paper yesterday from the Keosauaua
Republican concerning Governor Car
roll and county officers Lest it may
have escaped the attention of some
or failed 10 receive from others the
thoughtful consideration 1t deserves
it Is reprinted in its entirety in this
connection. The article was written
by Hon. J. ". Rowley. editor the
Republican. who emphasizes the con
siderations of justice and consistency
involved in the coming primary cleo
ton in these well-chosen words:
There are hundreds OF county of
fcials in Iowa who are serving their
first term, and have served with eff
ficiency. who are asking nomination
for another term at the coming prf-
mary They are expecting it too
without opposition. as any faithful
officer Of clean character has a right
to expect And for all these hun
dreds OF candidates there is very
general and perhaps unanimous ac-
uuiescence on the part of the Repub-
licans, Of their respective counties,
in rendering them a second nominal
ton. In fact the Republican or Re
publicans OF the county Of any OF
these candidates would be considered
very unjust IN opposing a renomina-
ton.
And II this is Justly applicable TO
county officials 1t is justly applicable
to the denomination of Governor
Carroll who IS serving his first term.
and who has done 50 with az much
efficiency as any Of his predecessors
His character is above reproach. and
in every way his administration has
been creditable TO his native state.
In truth there is not in Iowa a coun-
ty official serving his first term who
can be consistent, just, or fair in
asking for himself a second nomlna-
ton and at the same time oppose re-
nominating Governor Carroll. II
there are executions. it is not putting
it too strong to class them as appaT-
emily short Of quality that ought to
be required in those who aspire to a
public Office But 1t is only chart

can oppose a like second term for
Governor Carroll without violating
every consideration of consistency,
justice and fair play. The rule applies
with equal force in both cases and it
is incumbent upon every Republican

cedent to support Governor Carroll

grounds. in attestation of his own sin
