Court theatre by the Arvine Associate
players was suspiciously inau-urated
last evening with production Of
David BelasCo's version OF The
Charity Bail" Il was staged under
the direction OF Chas Lindholm. and
was most satisfying both from an act
INK and staging standpoint. George
Arvine assumed The role OF John Van
Buren, with credit. while his support
ing company was equal TO every de-
mand. Those participating IN the
production last evening. which will be
repeated for the remainder OF the

Lindholm. Frank Jones. Charles Pey.
ton. Earl Metcalf. Master John Wise.
Jane Elliston. Henrietta Vaders. rs.
telle Resell. Louise Dunbar. Lucille
Culver. Irene Douglas.
The Arvine players are deserving
OF public support, and good,ized
houses should be the rule the re-
mainder OF the week.

suppression of news almost daily. 1t is
publicity that is feared and it is pub.
licity that helps to keep this
world as good as it is and helps
it get little better day by day. Let
us not deceive ourselves that we
would improve public morals by hav-
Ing the newspapers keep still on crime.
1t is a superficial idea
"Of course this does not mean that
newspapers shall make heroes OF
criminals. There are two ways OF
writing up criminal acts. The laud-
atory way, or with the undertone of
admiration for the criminal is the Of
fensive and the dangerous way.
There are papers that offend in that
way and they may be called the true
yellow papers. But the papers that
print the facts with no laudation OF
the actors and no glazing light on the
heroics Of criminal life, they are
serving useful ends in keeping down
crime in this country. Take away
the restraints that are brought about
by publicity, and we would have a
much worse condition in this country
than we have now. Let there be no
doubt of this, whatever half baked
theorists may write in their essays
about such things.

that Mr.. Blythe made the statement
that "his legal association with rail
roads untitled him for service in the
upper house of congress" Mr.. Blythe
made no such statement What he did
say to Governor Shaw-and the state
ment was made in the Auditorium
hotel in Chicago one morning at three
O'Clock after prolonged discussion
was that he would not exchange a
salary of $4,000 year as general
counsel for the Burlington for $4,000 a
year as senator, and furthermore that
the position would be distasteful to
him for the reason that however pat
riotic his motives might be he would
be subjected to suspicion because Of
his railroad affiliations. Mr.. Blythe
also told Governor Shaw that his ap.
pointment would provoke criticism to
him Governor Shaw and that he felt
these reasons sufficient for declina-
ton. At no time. however, did Mr..
Blythe intimate that his work had UNI
fitted him for public service. That
would have been an arrangement o..
his own integrity to which no man
who knew him would have given as.
