RURAL PLAY AT
AVENUE THEATRE
Stock Players to be Seen This
Week in a Quaint New
England Comedy

Since 1t irst played in Wilmington,
the fame of the New England play,
Quincy Adams Sawyer" has spread
all over the country and beginning to-
night at the Avenue, it will have its
second run in this city. A crowded
house will doubtless show its approval
Of the wholesome story Of New Eng
land life. Characters that we're in
the book are felt in the play.
The first act shows the interior of
Benoni Hills grocery store, including
the village postofice at Mason's cor
ner, where, for one thing, the sorim-
age between Quincy Adams SAWYER
and the town bully, Bob Wood. takes
place. Act II has two scenes. the
first Of which represents the cross
roads between Eastborough and Ma
sons Corner, and the second the sit
ting room at the Putnam farm. The
third act is the Pettengill farmyard,
where the famous husldng bee in the
great barn is shown. The first sceno
of the fourth act shows the exterior of
the Pentengill homestead during a
rousing New England snow storm,
and the second scene picture the Pet
tengills cozy living room.
The play is built distinctly on
comedy lines and there Is almost
continuous laugh from beginning to
end, the sweet dignifed love scenes
between Quincy Adams Sawyer and
the blind girl. alone commanding that
respectful silence which proves that
the author who penned the tender
sentimental touches, and the actors
who portray them, compel that invol-
untary sympathy which is the highest
tribute to genius and art.

County Hospital Management.

The county hospital management,
or, rather, county hospital misman-
agement, is being shown up in a de-
cidedly discreditable light as a result
Of the inquiry why expenses there
should have jumped over $1,000 a
month since the FIRST Of the year. The
reason seems to be the old story Of
loose methods, padded bills, purchase
without competitive bids and an abso-
Lutte lack of the necessary records TO
keep track Of what comes in and
where 1t goes. The county auditor
admits that the books and records Of
the county hospital are go defective
that 1t is practically impossible to get
an accurate check.
II this condition we're due merely
to Incompetence and carelessness 1t
would be bad enough, but there are
some signs Of method in the madness
by which the taxpayers have been
mulcted for the benefit Of special
favorites. Il is hard to understand
why the county hospital, whose man
agement had been brought TO a basis
Of economy and efficiency by the last
republican board, should become
breeding place for incompetence and
graft when the democrats take hold

The Sherman Law

President Taft takes direct issue
with Judge Gary of the Steel trust.
who pronounces the Sherman anti
trust archaic and ill-adapted to the
needs OF corporation management to-
day.
Personally, believe the Sherman
act does not now and never will fully
prevent the organizing OF great combi-
nations Of wealth." says Judge Gary.
The sherman act was not designed TO
do that, nor, particularly under it's
latest interpretaHc would II be
expected 10 do so. Modern business
requires great combinations OF wealth.
What II does not require and what
the government should not permit is
the throttling OF competition and the
sitting OF the laws OF supply and de-
mand by great or small combinations
OF wealth. AS the supreme court puts
II unreasonable restraints OF trade"
We rather imagine that If the Steel
trust and other big business combines
will try hard enough they can keep
from lawless practices under the pro-
visions OF the Sherman law, without
putting the government to the trouble
OF enacting new laws for that purpose.

PURE TRUTH AND PURE FOOD.

Medicine Claims.

Chicago Record Herald
The supreme courts decision in the pat
ent medicine cases is common sense, al
though specifically speaking, II will not
make for righteousness and veracity in
advertising remedies. cures and discover

packages and bottles must be absolutely
truthful as regards the nature, compost
ton and quality Of the contents. But ques-
tons Of efficacy and curative value are not
covered by the pure food act. simply be-
cause congress did not have them IN mind
or did not use phraseology broad enough

The impotence Of restraint Of the popu-
lar will by political msnipulations gener-
ally classified as the progressive move
ment, now menaces the unit rule in the
democratic national conventions. Nebraska
has passed a law for the election Of ma
uonal delegates by direct vote. which is
expected TO revolutionize the custom of
the delegation from that state voting as a
unit on every motion under instruction
from the state convention. Hereafter the
delegate elected directly by the people will

Control Of Senatorial Elections.

The Bee was one Of the pioneers in
the movement for election Of United
States senators by direct popular vote,
and has been advocating this reform
for more than a third Of a century. II
Is triumph for this agitation that
popular election Of United States SEN
ators is at last focused in the resolu-
ton to submit a constitutional amend
ment which is TO come up in the SEN
ate this week
Instead Of bringing the question
forward unhampered by side issues,
however, the democrats have made
their support conditional on linking
with It a provision depriving the
federal government Of all power to
regulate, supervise or control OF cleo
ton Of United States senators. divest-
ing Il even Of the power IT now
possesses. The sincerity of the demo
Gratis In their professed advocacy of
the principle Of popular election Of
senator's appears TO be merely a
pretense to open the way for a re-
assertion Of the doctrine OF states
rights in its most indefensible and in
excusable form. With the federal
government barred from interfering,
the southern states would be free to
fix the time, conditions and manner
of holding senatorial elections with a
vi - fuFr
multiplying the fifteenth amendment,
which they have been trying 10 upset
ever since the end Of the war OF
emancipation.
This is the point made by the
minority OF the committee reporting
the amendment, and we believe It is
point well taken, and that It will
Justify opposition to the amendment
in its present form. The demand for
direct election Of senators is growing
so fast that the senate cannot long
Withstand II. and will be compelled TO
yield soon without trading this neces-
ssry right Of federal supervision In ex-
change for IT,
In this view The Bee is not alone
among the sincere advocates Of popular
senatorial elections. The Outlook, of
which Colonel Roosevelt is one Of the
editors, takes the same position that
it would rather see the contamination
postponed than have congress alb
dictate control in favor Of forty-eight
state legislatures. II expresses a
hope, in which The Bee joins, that the
senate will follow the minority Of the
committee on the judiciary and refuse
TO accept the resolution unless
amended so as to eliminate this vicious
provision.

Wedding Out the Fskers.

In the conviction of five leading Of
ficials Of the so-called United Wire
less Telegraph company, the Depart
ment of Justice has scored another
signal victory In it's determination to
break. up the system of prostituting
the United States mails to fraudulent
purposes. The president Of the COM
pany was sentenced to three years in
the penitentiary, two others got two
years each and two one year each. So
that this is another case where the
criminal law was put TO very good
use by the government.
The desperate character OF this
case was emphasized by the plot dis
closed to bride the prosecuting at
torney and a Juror in the trial. The
government had laid its schemes 30
carefully and skilfully, however, as to
preclude the possibility OF the success
OF any such oounteracting influence
and this alleged plot was summarily
brought to light.
Legitimate business that depends in
any measure for its prosperity and
promotion upon the distribution OF
stock is benefited every time one of
these frauds is exposed and one of
these rascals convicted and punished.
1t is little wonder. therefore, that the
government is finding aid from legiti-
mate sources possible in such cases.
The wireless scheme was promoted
with such vim as to arouse at the very
outset more or less apprehension as
to its stability and 1t was not long be-
fore those who had made investments
in different parts OF the country be-
gan to realize that they we're caught
in the trap OF a fake concern.
OF course the immediate effect of
such a prosecution may be to put
people on their guard to such an ex-
tent as temporarily to curtail invest
ments, but in the long run, when the
government shall have made a clean
up job OF it's campaign at wedding out
these takers, the man or company
with sound securities TO sell will be
vastly helped and the investor pro-

Democratic Harmony.

AS a contribution to democratic
harmony The Bee gives the benefit Of
its wide circulation to the following
extracts from the current number Of
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner:
The democratic party can not hope to fool
anybody very long by a one-sided applica-
ton OF the doctrine to a few districts
which happen TO contain protectionist
democrats who insist on keeping their
hands in their neighbor's pockets II the
democratic party is TO be Aldrichized let
the change Of policy be made with audacity,
at least The man who does wrong boldly
may mislesd a few. but the man who does
wrong by stealth and then tries TO conceal
It by equivocation confesses his conscious
ness Of guilt and cannot hope for a follow
ing.
The republican voters were brave enough
to turn out a lot Of republican Aldriches:
what reason have our democratic congress-
men to think that democratic voters are
less courageous?
II the tariff is retained those who favor
II ought to be honest enough TO admit that
they favor protection and quit talking about
tariff for revenue only.
Many republican leaders predict that the
democrats will make serious blunders To
be sure, it is not possible 10 avoid all mis-
takes. but the Representatives Of the party
may at least avoid the mistake Of being
afraid Of their party principles.
1t is reasonable to presume that we
may have postscripts to add later.
