COOK & L0RENzARE IN THEIR MERRIEST MOOD
 AT POLES THIS WEEK
Three White Keuhns, Cartmen & Harris and Mcconnell & Simpson Also Win Applause From Audience

Thoos roIlicking spirits, Cook and Iorenz, are making them all laugh at Polls, this week. They have the greatest line of comedy peddled in this vicinity in recent years. Cook and Lorenz sing duets in fearful and won derfuI voices and they also have some eccentric dancing that IS scream: Their iInpersonation of the wonderful vioiinist Prof. Shovelcoalski' and his pupil was the signal for merr1ment. The ore Yho impersonated the profeS- sor looked like Pawnee Bill, as his partner said. Cook and Lorenz have appeared in various high grade mu- sicaI shows, but they have never had any funnier vehicle than their present
 The audience last night went wild over the Three White Keuhns. They can certainly produce the harmony and their merry melodies are worth going miles to hear. The big hit Is that happy tune Rum Yum Fiddle" which has everybody keeping time ssIn Germany also bring out the ap- plause.
 Cartmen and Harris had a hard po- sition on--the biHe because they follow ed the Three White Keuhns, whose act consisted entirely of songs. New ertbeIess CaFtmeu and Harris got right to work and soon were rewarded with hearty applause. Their dancing, and particu' ariy the closing dance, was marvellous.
 'aThe Right GirI'' is the title of the sketch presented by McCOnnelI ana Simpson. This is a. riot from start to 6nish. Although built upon the old familiar lines of mistaken identity. the sketch is filled with bright lines and holds the interest of the audience from start to finish Lulu McCon- nell does fine work in the dual roles of a country belle and hosiery drum mer Grant Simpson shows himself to be a capable comedian in the part of William Brown, Jr-,- and Laurence Simpson Is good as a ribbon c'erk.
 The Willard Family brought down the house with their musical act, which is too good to open the show, They play upon instruments which are khe last word in novelty. The climax was ragtime on an apparatus that looked like a collection of, whirling buzzsaWs.
 Towards Pones are styled by the program as "the acme of animal in teIligence", and the praise isn't too lavish at that. The animals go through a series of stunts which are well executed.
 The Smith Sisters have a pleasing singing act. They are both pretty girls and, their costumes are gorgeous The best numbers were Honey Man and "Buckwheat Cakes.''

nearly all the thinking for the mass of party members, and if you are not a party member you have no liberty to vote in the councils of the party. Socialists condemn the property quail ifcation for voters in municipal cleo tions in R. l., but adopt the very same system for their own party conduct, i. e., you pay dues or you can't vote. It is hardly possible for one to be- lieve that everybody from Spencer to Gompers, who have or do oppose So- cialism, are rank humbugs. Yet the Socialists always assan the personal character of all who dare to oppose their creeed. Mother Jones was splendid woman and comrade until she made a fight against some of the Socialist bosses and then she was de- nounced as pretty wicked. Rev. b. E. Clark was a great comrade until bosses and then he got fired out of the party. Not many years ago five of the Ex-Committee of the Socialist Party in St. Louis were expelled with out trial because they had attempted to unite on labor ticket in a munich pal contest with the trade union force there. And the history of the two Socialist parties of this country is a history of just such liberty as this.
 Now. can any sane and intelligent man imagine for one moment that such tactics will ever win in this country? Will the farmer, the busi- ness man, the teacher, the thinkers of society, ever vote into power such party?
 Even if the Socialist Party did sue ceeed in giving us plenty of food and work neither you nor I wish to give up. liberty for little extra grub. And on the other hand the waste and inef- fciency of Socialism, the general -eco- homie demoralization which Socialism would bring, would as a matter os fact give us less grub, not more.

SOCIALISM DESTRUCTIVE
 OF LIBERTY.
(By F. G. R. ciordon.)

(By F. CT. k. GOrQOn.)
 Herbert Spencer said that State So- cia1ism meant state slavery in which the state would be a huge monster.
 Tolstoi, who was in some respects the greatest Russian of his time said 'Tf we were to adopt Socialism we would put on end to further progress" E. Reclus, one of the greatest scien- tidc men, and the greatest geographer the world has. ever produced, said that the Cooperative Commonwealth proposed by the Socialists, would de- stroy all progress if it lasted long enough.
 Practically all the great political economists of the world agree with Spencer, indeed, I do not know of a single great political economist that supports Socialism to-day or ever did support it. think that deep study of that complex pl obIem, humanity, will convince any intelligent man that State Socialism, is the only kind pos sibIe. A Social Democracy is utterly impossible. The two most conspic- uous examples of an attempt at so- cial democracy is our New England Town Meeting system and the an cient Mir of Russia. But history teaches us that in both a few men of superior ability have always run things. That is, they have always done all the office-holding, made all the speeches. presented all the reso- lutions, etc, etc. And even in the Socialist party this has always been true. Now, Socialists all agree that State Socialism would be a state slavery, they say that they want none of this, that they want a real social democracy or nothing, and to con firm this they often point to the ty- ranny of government as exercised government of France for instance, and it's treatment of the striking rail way hands and so on: Under So- cialism then it would be the Social ist bosses that would rule and we know what the Socialist bosses are doing righe now, in the Socialist Par ty. A small number of men of su- perior ability absolutely boss the So- ciaIist Party, and the Socialist Labor Party is really bossed by one man. Mark you, each of the leaders of these two rival Socialist parties accuse the other of being dominated by a few bosses and they are right. A few editors and a few orators do pretty

CARPENTER STOCK GO. SEEN AT ITS BEST IN
 DRAMA OF THE PLAINS
''Pierre of the Plains" Produced in CreditabIe Manner Before
 Large House

The Frank Carpenter Stock >Com- pany gave another demonstration last night of their ability to please their audiences, for Pierre of the Plains" proved a pretty little story of Western life. The staging was without fault. The most beautiful scenic effects-the snow capped mountains, crowned with the soft silver moonlfght-seemed to harmonfZe perfectly with the costumes of the performers. The honors last night go to Robert Conness. His cleverneSs as Pierre, a half-breed, with the mind of the white man and heart of the Indian, won the admira-- ton of the audience, and sealed for good to theatregoers of this city at least his ability to rise to those dra- make the audience hold their breath and render that prolonged applause which shows genuine appreciation.
