DRAMATIC SUCCESS

Nearly one hundred and seventy
five persons made up the audience
that attended Japanese Evening"
at the Library auditorium Monday
night. which affair was given un-
der the auspices of the Civic
League.
The decorations of the room on
the occasion we're of all the mani
fold colors that go to make up the
every day life of the Flowery
Kingdom. The lighting fixtures
were hung with lanterns with the
festoons of paper and chrysanthe-
NUNS that hung every where,
smacked of the Orient and COM
pletefy transformed, and lighted
the Library from Williston to
Yeddo.
The program opened with piano
solo by Miss Hazel Stonberg which
was encord, following which, Mas
ter Robert Heffernan gave Little

The playlet "A Flower of Yed-
do" the dramatic persons of which
was formed by Miss Garvey and
Mesrames Creaser, Mcintosh and
Paul Leonhardy with Miss b.
Ellen Toftley as stage director.
The playet describes the self en-
forced from exile of a poet into
the wilderness for the purpose of
writing a poem that will immorta-
lize his lady love and himself
through the. unborn ages to come.
To test his fidelity to his task, the
lady of his devotions sends three
test; first siren that with witch
ing grace tries to make him forget
the lady of his choice; second a
warrior that challenges him to
combat on that day to win him by
love of battle from his literary
task; lastly the lady herself who
comes and in dire distress pictures
to him the misfortuncs of an uncle
that has fallen in evil days and
needs the aid of the two hundred
bags of rice that has been set aside
for the giving of his poem to the
world. OF course the poet stands
every test, and in the finale the
temptress and the warrier turns
out to be maids of honor to the
poets hearts desire, the distress of
the uncle is a myth and they are
happy ever after.
After the play japanese refresh
ments of. tea, rice and waters were
served by Mrs. Heffernan, Mrs.
Bruegger and Mrs. Bradley who
ministered to those present in full
Japanese costume. The evening
was complete social success and
substantial collection was the
results of an evening in Japan.

A LIBRARY OF
USEFUL SERVICE
n. SUMNER Of The STATE UNlvERS
ITY LIBRARY TO SPEAK NEXT
THURSDAY EVENING

The value of a library is in
its use. The useful library is
the library that renders real
service to the community that
supports it. The most important
question confronting every COM
nunity that has a library, every
librarian, every library trustee
H-how can the efficiency Of the
library be increased and how can
Rs usefulness be extended. How
can it render larger service to-
day than yesterday-to-morrow
than to-day? A library is more
than a building-furnished with
bookshelves and stocked with
row after row Of books. 1t is
an active, potential force in the
community which should reach
out in every direction and touch
and quicken the life of every
member of the community.
''The Useful Library" will be
the theme taken up by the Ii
brarian Clarence Wesley Sum-
ner in his lecture to be given
IN our city under the auspices
Of the Library Board, Wednesday
evening, the 18th of January.
Mr.. Summer is we'll qualified to
give advice on such topics for
his experience in library work
has been a wide and varied one.
A native of Indiana and a grad
uate of the Noblesville, Ind. high
school, he began his college work
and library service at Earlham
college in that state, where he
served as assistant librarian
while still student. He earned
his diploma in the Indiana State
Library Commission School in
1906 and his degree Of Bachelor
Of Arts was conferred by the
University of Missouri in 1909.
He served in different capacities
in the library of the University
Of Missouri until September,
1911 when he came to North Da-
kota to assume the responsible
place of librarian in the largset
library in the state, that Of the
State University. AS evidence of
his popularity among the library
workers of the state, he was
chosen vice president of the
State Library Association at the
meeting held in jamestown last
fall. Everyone should turn out
to hear Mr.. Summer Wednesday
evening.

everything was up to expectation,

for the bad weather. They made

while many came to town Monday
and Tuesday, bad as the weather
was, and many goods we're sold on

bringing things to pass in town.

REVISION OF CONSTITUTION

The one important subject that
will be considered by the incom-
ing general assembly upon which
there seems to be agreement on
the part of leaders, both regular
and independent, mooser and re-
publican, is the proposition that
steps should be taken to secure
thorough revision Of the Constitu-
ton Of the state. This circum-
stance augurs well for the success
of the movement, which is founded
on such manifest considerations of
public welfare that it is difficult to
understand how it could be antag-
onized. Differences of opinion as
to the best mode Of procedure to
attain a commonly desired end
will, doubtless, arise, but where a
genuine purpose to attain a result
upon whose main outlines there is
uniformity of desire exists, these
minor details will be adjusted, and
the needful legislative procedure
will be forthcoming.
There is another, but by no
means insignificant, benefit which
will attend this concert Of action
on the part of men who have been
wide apart in their public rela-
tionships. The consequence Of
unity of act and utterance, directed
to a result demanded by considera-
tions of patriotism and public veal
rising above partisan politics and
fractional differences, will newt
ably tend to dull the edge of past
personal differences and assist in
the restoration of more harmon
ious conditions. Franklin Review

holy alliance in the interest Of
whisky and especially the open
saloons of the Bluff city. This
caused Crump to make a few re-
marks which we're short but some
what singing in effect. Mr..
Crump paid his verbal assailant
the following tribute:
This fellow Littleton is one of
those professional proving bar
room busterand hangers on around
the legislature. He is slicier than
the petroleum-soaked skin of an
eel, and instead OF making mis-
statements Ia politics, he had bet
ter go on back to Winchester, in
Franklin county, and do some
thing for the widows, orpans and
poor people who suffered through
the failure of the Bank of Win
chester that failed and of which
he was president"
For his information, the mayor
says:
There are 448 open saloons in
Memphis. Probably on his last
visit to Memphis be tried to take
them all in and began to see two
or three for one before he caught
his train"
Mr.. Littleton is the same fellow
that met Gov. Frazier once in
joint debate in Huntingdon. A
local republican was heard to say,
since this controversy arose, that
if Littleton wrote the article to
which his name was signed attack
ing Gov. Hooper and Mayor
Crump he was a better writer than
a speaker.
Littleton was known to be the
friend of whisky in the discussion
with Frazier and has been loyal to
the cause ever since.

POLITICAL SPAT

each other through the public
press this week. Gov. Hooper
started the ball rolling BY giving

caustic terms. Littleton came
back in language equally as strong
and very unconplimentary to the
governor. In this attack Littleton

regrets that Christmas came.
There we're also those who had no

STRONG OPPOSITION

From q quarter least expected,
the parcels post and the scheme to
lend money on farms by means of
bonds have received a jolt. The
Farmers Society Of Equity, which
has been in session at Indianapo-
lis, passed resolutions condemning
both proposals as at present con
stituted. The parcels post does
not make the right weight limits
for farm products, and the rate Of
postage is so high as to prevent
the farmers from benefiting as it
should. The farm loans would with
out organization of the farmers,
only provide an incentive for the
same interests which are in control
of the marketing system to beat
down prices OF products and rem
ders a mortgage more quickly
necessary. The belief that par
GELS post would help the farmer to
reach the ultimate consumer d.
rectly, and that a ftrm loln void
aid in extending operations had
become someSh,t widespread.

Equity, if accepted, would undo
all this. Tennessean and Ameri-

FRIDAY, DECEMBER q, 1912
GOVERNORS STATEMENT

WV LhNOh y D1 ~ l1All1ANl
The statement from Governor
Hooper published this morning
concerns in the main republican
members of the legislature, and
tells of the nefarious efforts of ma
chine politicians of the so-called
regular faction in the attempt to
use some weak-kneed and con-
trollable republicans in the execu-
ton of the regular plans; but be-
You'd this immediate point, the adj
dress makes broad appeal to the
patriotism Of the state at large.
1t is a call for the suppression of
corrupt politics and most especi-
ally seeks to prevent REPETITION
in this state of the disgraceful
lack pot" practice by which Lor-
inner was madea United States SEN
ator from Illinois.
Tennessee demands clean politics
and straight dealing on the part Of
the men elected to serve its people
in the legislature. There must be
no disgraceful trading in the pat
ronage the legislature will dispense,
and the corrupting influence, both
Of individual wealth and that Of
powerful special interest, must
be most emphatically tabooed and
dealt with after the manner Of
criminal practice.
Governor Hooper, in his state
ment published today, turns the
light Of publicity on thesuspicious
maneuvering that has been in pro-
gress with the view to bringing
republican members Of the legisIa-
ture under control of the so-called
regular democrats. Publicity is
often an effective preventive of
political crookedness. Duplicity
and corruption cannot thrive under
a searchlight. The governor is
bold and strong in his conscien-
tious conyictiC He will pursue
this policy of publicity through
out the session of the legislature
and he will have the cheerful aid
of the Banner in the work. When
dirty politics is discovered this pa
per will take great pleasure in
turning on the light.
But it is in the hands of the
people, and it is the duty Of peo-
pie as much as it is of the COVER
norlaad the press to see that there
is no evil-doing on the part of
their representatives and senator's
in the general assembly, and what
comes from the people is more eff
fective than what comes from any
other source.
When a senator or representa-
tive is suspected Of a lack of fealty
to his constituents or duty to the
state let him be admonished Of his
wrong-doing. This can be done
in county and district meetings and
also by letters addressed directly
to the representatives.
An aroused public sentiment
among the best element of ciizen-
ship in all parts of the state is
needed to crush out machine meth
DDS and the corrupt interference
of special interests in the states
affairs. 1t is to this element and
the elevated sentiment that stands
for honesty and square dealing in
all public affairs that the COVER
nor's address makes a special APP
peal, and the appeal should not be
made in vain. Nashville Banner.
