Judcc w \. LeGDetter was here
Friday night and Saturday visiting
with his father and other rela-
tives. His friends kept him busy and
he mad but little time with each
person. He said, however, that he
was opposed to the recent trend OF
politics toward socianstic policies. He
said they looked pretty as a theory
but when put in practice that they
did not prove to bs the panacea
which their advocates claim for them.
He is strong friend OF the guaranty
bank deposit law and he believes
that the law can be perfected. the
plan Of executing it can be made
better by experience and thinks II
will be a success.

couraged with the recent develop.

PLAY NEXT FRIDAY.
Beautiful Story Of Barriers Burned
Away" to be Presented at
Decorah's Playhouse.

When in the early seventies Mrs
O'Leary's cow kicked over the lamp
in her barn on West 18th street in
Chicago, the cow little dreamed she
was making name in the world
for herself and the lady who was
doing the milking. For thus does
history tell us that the great Chi
cago fire was started.
From this theme of this fire, E.
P. Roe. the Presbyterian minister
novelist. constructed his story Bar
riers Burned Away" which proved
the largest selling and most widely
read novel of the age, it being es-
timated that over one million copies
Of the novel were sold and over
three million people have read it.
Messrs. Gaskell, Macvitty and
Carpenter have had this wonderful
story put in play form, and the
cramatization, which is by George
Middleton bids fair to prove even
more popular than the book. Man.
ayers Weiser and Bear have ar
ranged for the appearance of this
play at the Grand for Friday even
ing. 'Tis almost useless to say that
1t contains deep moral lesson be-
sides an interesting story for the
dramatist has endeavored and is
said to have succeeded in retaining
all that was beautiful and best in
Mr.. Ree's book.
Barriers Burned Away" is said
to be easily proving the success Of
the present season, it. being one of
those plays that appeals to the non-
theatre goer as well as those who
go simply for their love of the god
Thespis. Secure your seat at Brunt
& Parman's.

this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. H. H. Green,
d. D., to write an autobiogra-
ply of his life, to be preserved
as a matter of record lmong
his children and grandchildren.
While it was written with no
intention Of being made public,
yet his life has been filed with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England, boy
hood, soldier. clergyman, legis-
lator, etc., that we fiHd much
which we believe will be read
with interest by the public, and
we will therefore from time to
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,
should it prove of sufficient in

HOW 1T Is EXPLAINED.

Champ Clark of Missouri, the com
ing speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, Is being referred to as the
dehorned and the denatured speaker,
because the new speaker will be shorn
OF all power. The power of appoint
ing committees, which his predeces-
sors have enjoyed, is taken from him.
He win sit in the chair and preside
as the agent of the governing oil
garchy Of the house, the committee
on ways and means, which will select
the joint committees, without appeal.
In q word. the democratic caucus has
made a goat of Speaker Clark and
contrary TO expectations, he is as sub
rnissive as Il lamb. An exchange ac-
counts for this as follows:
That Champ Clark should he so
complainant as he shows himself is
only cxplainable on the supposition
that he really believes he is a presi-
Dental possibility for 1912, and is anx-
ious not to be handicapped by any of
the embarrassments that might easily
ovsrtske a speaker equipped with
even q moiety OF the old time power Of
the place. The promptness with which
an Ohio member who attempted to
start a boom for Harmon was sup
pressed certainly lends color to the
suspicion that the house leaders are
at least dangling the nomination prize
before the eyes of the speaker that is
to be.
