THEATERS

The management OF the Grand Is
making official announcement that
'"The Battle, in which Wilton Lack
aye makes his initial appearance in
Marion at the Grand tomorrow even
ing, will be the strongest attraction of
the season. To magazine readers
and folks Of theatrical acquaintance
the attraction needs no introduction.
II remained all last season on Broad
way, and on that famous street, it is
a case of the survival of only the fitt-
est. II Is by one of the foremost play
wrights of the day, and features one
OF the cleyerest actors on the present
day stage. 1t was secured for this
city after a great deal of pressure and
persuasion brought to bear upon Mr..

larger cities. The story deals with a
current condition in a new and dar-
ing way. The original New York
company Is preserved intact, and will
arrive tomorrow from Kansas City

You can. should you think best,
throw yourself frankly on the mercy
of the girl and announce beforehand

Night Sessions.

If holding night sessions will facilitate

If these evening meetings offer an oppor-
tunity to the spellbinders, intent upon
manufacturing campaign material to
give expression to their burning thoughts
with due regard for the laws governing
the printing of TIE debates, there should
he no demur at the expenditure Of cleo
trio current for the illumination Of the

quorum is not present should lessen
the willingness of those in control Of the
affairs of the House that these protracted
sessions should be held. Everybody I'M
derstands that these night sessions are
not for the edification of the members
or even of the galleries. Nobody fails
to understand that a speech which is

The Goose Eggs.

The goose that laid the golden eggs has
oft been sung about:
She was a great convenience round the
house, beyond a doubt.
But probably she lived when meat became
SO very high
That golden eggs were worth much less.
And so she had to die.
The goose Dame Winter plucks when
Ringing round the feathery snow
Has been familiar since the days Of child
hood long ago.
But the bird that calls for protest in q
long derisive shout
Is the one that lays the goose eggs when
the home team loses out.
She places them SO neatly in straight.
unbroken line.
Sometimes she is so lavish that she lays
no less than nine!
They're regular in shape and Of most
forbidding size
And Of such dreary whtteness that they
tire your weary eyes.
She does not cackle like the hen. There
is no note of cheer
To break the sullen silence of the mourn
full atmosphere.
She's gloomier than the raven that Poe
used to sing about
This bird that lays the goose eggs when
the home team loses out.

The People and the Comet.

There is no mistaking the keen anxiety
with which the approach of the comet is
awaited by unscientiflc people throughout
the world. Scientists themselves are
keenly interested and are preparing for
a series of observations. which will be
certainly interesting. II not valuable, as
an addition to the worlds knowledge
Of these celestial vagabonds. The pre-
liminary work of the astronomers, how
ever. only serves to increase the appre-
hension with which the advent of the
comet is regarded by the unlearned null
titudes, who have been told that there
is danger to the inhabitants of this planet
In the sweep Of the comets tail, through
whic.i it is expected the earth will pass
about the 18th Of May. Dread visions OF
asphyxiation by the gases of cyanogen,
OF which 1t Is said the comets tail is
composed, have affected great numbers
of people. The more ignorant have been
seriously upset in their minds by the
speculations of the astronomers and the
deductions that have been drawn from
them by untechnical observers.
Now that the comet has swung around
the sun and is approaching the earth on
It's outward journey, reports come from
various points OF observation that this
heavenly vsitant is daily growing in APP
parent size. 1t is now visible to the un-

Police Court Justice.

American police court judges might,
perhaps with profit. note the scrupulous
care to maintain an exact balance OF
the scales of justice manifested by a
London magistrate before whom an
American was hailed on charge Of
smashing the window of a night lodging
hanse- The defendants plea was that
after having>paid 10 cents for bed
he was turned oSt Of the shelter because
he wanted to sle& with his clothes on
He had demanded the return of his
dime, which was Nused him. The
judge held him guilty Of destroying
property and fined him s shillings, but
deducted from the penalty we 10 cents.
which, he held, should haven re-
turned to him when he was evicted
from the lodging house. Seldom are the
scales so finely adjusted in the busy
courts where the lesser offenses are
adjudged. 1t is possible that some OF
the disregard for the law which prevails
in so many minds is fostered by the
breadth with which it is administered
in these places. AS a rule, approximate
Justice is done. Rarely are guilty per-
sons freed, and more rarely are inno-
cent ones punished. But in the hurry
of the work penalties are often i'm
posed or RENTED under warning without
that nice application to the immediate
circumstances which the defendant or
complainant believes he has a right to
expect. 1t is unfortunate that in most
cities police court work is regarded as
something to be done in hurry. Every
case that is tried is Of major Importance
to the persons involved.

The Senate in the Campaign.

Mr.. Taggart has simplified the situation
in Indiana as respects the senatorship. If
the democratic convention this week de-
cides to name an opponent to Mr.. Bev-
eridge, Mr.. Taggart will contest for the
honor II 1t refuses, and leaves the mat
ter open. he will be q candidate before
the legislature next winter. So that only
the naming of another than Mr. Taggart
by the convention will eliminate the In
dianapolis boss from the equation. Mr..
Taggart In the race, either as the nominee
Of the convention. or as a candidate be-
fore the people Of his own motion, will
be a boon to Mr.. Beveridge. State pride
Is powerful in America. and the toga for
Taggart should stagger all but hidebound
democrats.
But how about matters in Ohio and New
York? In the former state Mr.. Dick is
asking primary instructions. Will the
democrats at their state convention name
a man for the senatorship? They are
much heartened about the governorship.
and the more sanguine are counting on
the legislature for good measure. Who
for Mr.. Dicks shoes II the democrats
control that body? They have some good
men. though none stands out as does Gov.
Harmon.
1t Is probable that neither party in New
York will make a senatorial nomination.
Mr. Depew would like another term, but
will make no announcement. 1t is not
clear today what will happen in the state
this year. Never were political matters
more mixed. And this is true of both
parties. The most experienced navigator
