PlcKiNc THE GOOD ONES

People who complain OF being
"stung' by poor shows and are thus
put in a mood to let the next one,
which also happens to be good one
pass by should learn that there is
way of sizing up theatrical enter
tainment in advance of it's appear
ance. This consists Of knowing the
managers and the firms who put the
productions on the road. Theatri-
Gals are like everything else; all de-
ponds on who stands sponsor for
them. Thus we know from the manu-
facturer's name on can OF beans
that they are good beans or from
the brand on a pair OF shoes that
they are good shoes and SO on. 1t
is Just the same with theatrical at
fractions. There are some manag-
ers who have never yet sent us real
bad show, principally because they
are too good business men to be
connected with a production that is
not worthy. Like the bean people
and the shoe man they are proud of
their good names. Assuming that
nine out of every ten theatregoers
read the theatrical columns of the
newspapers and magazines, this
knowledge of just who is who in
managerdom should not be hard to
acquire. Once it is acquired a per-
son enjoys the privilege and the dis
tinction Of always being able to pick
the good ones. Some day " ~,

STUDENTS DEATH
PERPLExES POLICE

Boston, October 18.-The police
have been asked by the district at
torney to investigate the death of
Miss Avis Linnell, young music
student, who died last Saturday at
the Young Woman's Christian As
ISOLATION of prussic acid poisoning.
The medical examiners have report
ed that the young woman did not
take the poison with suicidal intent
and the police are now asked to "as-
certain whether the young woman
obtained the poison herself or receiv-
ed it from some one else"
Love Disappointment Alleged.
After the body of the girl was
found it was announced that she had
taken her own life as result Of
disappointment in love affair.

SHALL WE KEEP THE FAITH?

The progress of the Independent
movement in this district is being
watched with great interest. Upon
1t depends not only the election or
the defeat of the new party's candi-
dates in the coming election-but it
will also decide whether or not the
people of this section are ready to
forsake the party and the principles
to which they have chung with loyal
ty and devotion through many de-
cades, whether or not they are of
a mind to desert all that they have
fought for in the past to rally under
a new standard.
The issue appears to be clean cut.
From their declarations one can
Judge only that the Independents of
this section are not new branch OF
any old party, but represent an en-
tire new creed. In their platform
ope ated at the meeting held in
Staunton this summer, they repudi-
ated Virginia Democracy, by accus-
ing its representatives of various
misdeeds. They have cut loose from
the old party, and founded a new
one, and it Is new party that their
followers must support.
1t remains to be seen whether or
not section of Virginia that has
always stood by the old Democracy
with never failing loyalty is now will
ing to abandon it, whether its people
are ready to turn their backs on old
principles, old ideals to become
identified with the new creed. For
our part we believe that our people
will keep the faith.

RoWpIEs

OF all of the disgusting kinds OF
neople the rowdy is probably the
worst. Let one of this type feel the
weight of his imagined Importance
under the influence of mean whiskey
and there is nothing on earth too low
for him to do. He will f1aunt his
offensive presence in the eyes OF de-
cent folk, while offending their ears
with his conversation which Is nine
tenths profanity. He likes to tell
people how bad he is, to brag OF
what he will do to any one crossing
his path; he likes to exhibit himself
in front of saloons, he is the sort OF
yarmint who prides himself in expos
ing a whiskey bottle sticking from
his pocket. He will fight, yes, some
times when there are some OF his
friends with him, and the adversary
does not appear too formidable.
Nine times out of ten these are the
only circumstances under which he
will fight, however. for real courage,
real anything that makes man, Is
not in him
Recently in New York the author
tiles were forced to deal with gangs
of ruffians who infested the street
cars on certain lines. When ordi-
nary measures failed to break up
the rowdies, strong arm squad"
composed of fighting policemen, was
put on the job with the effect that
the bad ones were soon mauled into
submission.
We hope that the authorities will
not stand for anything resembling
rowdyism in this city or county. 1t
can easily be prevented by imposing
the maximum penalty upon every
one that is brought to court, and in
this way letting the others under
stand that their practices will not
be tolerated. If this fails, let our
officers do as the New York police
did, play the "roughnecks" their
own game.

group of gentlemen in some room,

If you are ever tempted to let a
government reform itself, ask you
to look back in the pages of history
and fad me government that re-
formed itself.
That a peasant may become king
does not render the kingdom demo-
cratic.
We are going to break faith with
the past or with each other, but by
the elements Of perseverance we are
going to get what we want.
We did not start out to show the
world how these things that the
world has always been doing could
be done over again upon a slightly
larger scale. That does not satisfy
our ambition. That is not what
America is for.
The more you think about these
things, the more you will agree with
this scholarly political leader.

DIR. T, F. DAVIES, JR.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 18.-The

Jr., eight years rector of All Saints

WHO is DRIVING?

We often think we are succeeding
by own foresight or skill. Hence we
are keeping keen lookout, and en-
ploying all our wisdom; but some
times the control Of mightier hand
and a wiser intelligence is so mani
fest that we cannot fail to see
and to acknowledge 1t. Who
that believes in God and in his provi-
dence cannot recall instances in
which he has been guided by a wis
dom not his own. and been vouch-
safed deliverances which he could
not have achieveds
A father and his little son were
once riding along a familiar road
with a gentle horse. To crafty his
child the father placed the reins in
his hand, but at the same time, un-
seen, retained his own hold on them.
AS they rode on, they saw approach
ing them, at terrific speed, runa-
way team. The danger was great
and imminent. But the father guild
ed his horse SO that a collision was
avoided, and the danger escaped.
When all was over, the little son
looked up to his father, and with
choked utterance said, 81 thought l
was driving; but wasn't was I,
papa?"
So often does the child of God,
when some peril has been escaped,
or some deliverance has been vouch-
safed in ways unforeseen and un-
thought of, have occasion to say,
Father, I thought I was driving,
but wasn't" o, it is, it is blessed
to feel that the reins are in the hands
Of One mightier and wiser than we
are. And it is blessed, on the eve
of some signal deliverance, to look
into the face of our Father and say,
Thou hast done it. Thy hands held
the reins. Rev. VIM. Lamson, in
Waterman.
