however, his good nature has found him a ready listener to the cause of evolution and in a spirit of fun, he joined sunaH organization of insur- gents. The meeting of the band of revolutionists; the circumstance that he must assume the guise of the lost dauphin, coupled with love of a young woman companion in the house of the elderly lady before whom he appears as Louis XVII, afford humorous sit uations for effective comedy acting. While the theme readily lends itself to serious writing, the author on the other hand has turned many of the incidents into good comedy with bright and cheerful dialogue, seeing only the merry side of the character of this roysterer and the predicaments into which he falls. MT. Skinner, as all know who are familiar with his career, is a fine comedian as well as an actor of romnce. Tn the role of Denis Roulette, he brings forward all of his gifted accomplishments and in the last act presents more than a touch of his ability as a stage lover and romancer Charles Frohman has given MT. Skinner a fine production and cast of unusual excellence, in- cluding these players: John Clulow, A. G. Andrews, Charles B. Wells, Walter Scott, Mabel Bert, Izetta Jewel, Alice Gale and Margaret Sayres. The com edy is in four acts.

New York, Dec. 23.-On the last
business day before Christmas it was
discovered this morning that there is
a famine of crisp new bills and gold
coins here, such as are used exten-

claimed to be due to a recent order
of United States Treasurer Macveagh
that when there was sufficient cur
rency in the nearest sub-treasury to
meet the normal demands the govern
ment would not pay the cost of the
transportation of new bills and coins
merely to meet preference of the
banks.

Morgan Crowd Wanted Hughes.

In q recent speech in New York,
George ". Perkins. late partner of J.
P. Morgan. said that Governor Hughes
was put forward in 1905 by Wall
street to represent the republican
party's position on the trust question,
and that Governor Hughes. in his
speech at Youngstown, O, construed
the republican promise TO amend the
antitrust law as follows: In our
progress We must avoid false steps.
Ours must be the rule of reaous, etc"
Congress refused to legalize reason
able" or any other kind of monopolies
so Governor Hughes was put on the
supreme bench and helped twist the
law to make il conform to the trust
idea OF what the republican promise
meant
And TO Mr. Perkins significant re-
mark the further fact that Hughes bit
terly opposed an income tax. and his
qualifications as the Taft choice for
the supreme bench became readily ap-

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Oct. 19.-President Taft
is demanding to know with great bra
vado what single case of combination
in restraint of trade which ought to be
condemned could not be reached un-
der the supreme courts Interpretation
of the antitrust law in the Standard
Oil and Tobacco trust cases.
There are few who care TO take is
sue with the president The average
man believes that the trusts could"
be reached, if the government would
set out in good faith to reach them.
THE VITAL ISSUE.
The vital issue is not whether the
trusts could be reached. The real
important question is: Why is it that
not a single guilty trust magnate has
been sent to Jail, or even called TO
the bar of justice? The answer IA
that the government does not send
trust magnaJes to jail nor control the
trusts because the trusts control the
standpat republican machine. and for
IA years the standpat republican ma
chine, in recognition of campaign fund
donations and other favors, has per-
mitted special privilege to name the
man to be in charge of the proseCut-
ing machinery of the government.
The present attorney general is

No use to whine or eulk or pout
Because you are not getting more.
Your income will not lengthen out

So you must work the other end
Although It is a little slow.

And keep their outgo well IN hand
Tell roughly tough and fearful tales
To any person who Will stand.

And live a life OF fuss and fret

And able are the price TO pay,
Keep out of debt and shun distress.
