ADJUSTMENTS
"Oyer Night"

If loud and uproarious laughter is any criterion of a plays mirth-proyoking qualities. then lover Night comedy by Philip II. Bartholomae, which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night, needs no other recommendation. The piece is genuinely amusing and the comedy has some elements of novelty that add a great deal to the entertainment.
 Two newly married couples take pas sage simultaneously on one of the Albany day line steamers. To be more exast and follow the programme. this boat is the Hendrick Hudson. One of the bride grooms is @ large, healthy person who is married to a namby-pamby sort of woman. commonly known as "clinger." The other bridegroom is slight of stature and talks with lisp. He Is welded to truly terrifying female who is a mil itant suffragette.
 Just before the boat starts on it's jour ney the large husband and the large wife, carrying all the available funds of their lesser halves, go ashore to attend to bag gage or some other such matter, and are left behind The two helpless indi- viduals who are on the boat are imme- diately mistaken for man and wife on a honeymoon trip. Then the fun begins in earnest. To avoid a scandal the decep- tion is kept up. The forlorn bride and the deserted bridegroom eventually es- cape from the boat to the Rip Van win kle inn on the shore of the Hudson, above Poughkeepsie, still making valiant efforts to rejoin their absent spouses. Here the complications follow thick and fast. par ticularly when the missing husband and the missing wife show up on the scene fin wrathy mood, which is greatly increased in ardor by a make-believe conversation they overhear before their presence is known to the fugitives. It requires the services of a very able hynotist, suffer ing from financial depression to straighten matters out. but he does so to the great satisfaction of all concerned.
 There are some other amusing charac- ters, in addition to the mismated honey mooners, conspicuous among them hotel clerk of the type often met with in small tourist resorts, where assurance is the concomitant of a pair of red socks.
 There is plenty of fun in the piece and the audience last night seemed to enjoy the performance very much indeed. The company gave a good account of itself for the most part and the chief charac- ters were made very diverting. Ada Sterling as Georgiana Kettle. Tom Emory as Richard Kettle, Sam B. Hardy as Percy Darling, Gwendolyn Pierce as Elsie Darling, Mahlon F. Hamilton as Al Riv- CTS and Robert Bingham as the hotel clerk contributed some very entertaining comedy.
 "Over Night" will he repeated at a matinee this afternoon and again to- night.

W. (. I. U.

It seems to the w. c. T. U. that a Christian voter is on dan gerous ground when his declara- tions on a moral question can be heralded far and wide by the sa- loon interests as helpful to it's criminal business. It seems al- so like an enigma, incapable of solution, when his picture in big bold lines is fiourished on the pages of liquor paper.
 We feel sure that every body would think, yes know that a picture of Henry Ward Beecher, or Sam Jones, yes or of Bros. Shaw, Steen or Gilmore. would be very much out of place in such paper, and we feel assur ed that their utter ances on the liquor question would not en- nance the liquor trade.
 Then why will good men stand for such a position in their candi- dates?
 They cannot contine their ex- cuSe for such action that the lio- uor traffic is moral question on ly, for what looms up larger as an economic one? The millions of dollars invested in breweries, distilleries and the millions more squandered on the traffic each year prove that it is an economic question, and that these millions spent in legitimate trade would solve many perplexing prob lem.
 Let us settle it once for all in Arkansas that no matter whose picture adorns @ the liquor lit erature, or what statements are made as regards the good @ of local option. that the rank and file of the citizens of the state propose like they did in Georgia. tO DrOtect all hnSinaSS intaroStS including politics, from the cor ruption of the saloon. and away wonder and above all else. we will throw the arm of protection around innocent childhood and devoted motherhood.
