RALPH HERR IN COMEDY
Bachelors and BenediCtS" al
Criterion Has Bright Lines
triangle Play That
Has No Third Side.

II clear-cut Photographic snapshots Of
the characteristic talk current among
ordinary men and women in the lmme-
date neighborhood could make a success
fuI play, then Bachelors and BenediCts,"
offered at the Criterion Theatre last night,
would surely be a winner. The play IL
about marriage-all sides OF II, comic,
tragic and trivial. In the end il seems
more trivial than anything else But
then almost any state or institution would
after it had been discussed from every
angle by angular minded and common
place people for three hours. This is
not to detract from the play. People
seem always to be interested in watching
the small, trite struggles Of the married,
their irritations, jealousies and markings.
up. Bachelors and Benedicts' has some
comedy and serio-comedy OF this sort.
A bachelors club of six time-proven as
soclates loses it's central and most inn
portant member. He comes back TO them
in less than one semester proclaming
himself wiser, but secretly admitting that
he is sadder His wife has suspected him
of completely with a little girl whom 10
cared for only as a little sister or friend
Besides which trouble they could never
get on together anyway. One always
wanted the lights turned on when the
other wanted them off; so. of course,
marriage had been failure
The bachelors received him back IN
their midst gladly, but, once married,
hOpelessy ruined. You can't go back.
There was not only reunion between the
squabblers, but two others Of the bach
elors became benedicts in time for the
final curtain.
Ralph Herr, as the eXperimentsr with
crafty woman, played with his usual
sharp, decisive manner. He seems to
be always on the verge of doing some
thing more startling than his lines per-
nit him. He has wit and snap. One
wonders what he would do in an i'm
promptu play II there were such a thing.
At all events, he might be expected TO
sustain his part in It, Claude Gnling-
water played the lugubrious part Of a
woman hater with conviction. Grace
Goodall fetched many peals Of laughter
with young Widows observations on
men and affairs. Needless TO say they
were cynical observations and all of tho
usual sort. Miss Goodail has q penetrat-
ing manner Of speaking, however, which
makes her lines pierce 70 the inner con-
seriousness Harry Williams sang songs
about happy bachelor days IN fact re
was an almost constant source Of happy
bachelor music Of one kind or another.
Jackson d. Haag and James Montgom-
cry elaborated in this play Mr. Haag
Is a prominent dramatic editor in Pitts
burgh. Mr. Montgomery has already
/ called attention to himself as the author
Of Ready Money" Whichever of the
colaborators supplied the snap in the
dialogue, TO him belongs the credit for
whatever measure Of success the piece
may win.
While Ralph Herr remains in the part
Of Leslie Gilbert the play will have a
drawing attraction.

chase supplies not exceeding value Of
800 without asking for bids; authoriz.
ing municipal lighthouses and bath
houses; enlargement of playground
provisions and revision generally Of
welfare provisions.
The committee declined to recon-.
mend that the start of the fiscal year
be made April l instead Of January /,
but favored laws for n~inety-day maxi.
mum sentence for vlolators Of city
ordinances and that persons who at.
tempt to influence any city employees
shall be guilty OF bribery.

PROGRESS IN KANSAS.


PROGRESS IN KANSAS.
The geography of years ago, says
Gov. George II. Hodges, pictured Kan
sas as part OF the Great American
desert. Hardly a desert now. with
200 900 acres in cultivation. Very
little Indulgence in Kansas, with an
average Of 1892 on deposit in II
banks for every person in the state
Our citizens pay taxes on s1,765 each,
a little over 500 more than they paid
a year ago, even though this was
the worst drought season In gu
history. Our agriculturists use the
best for their own tables, and a
plentiful supply at that, but after
using all the butter, eggs and poultry
they needed, they sold $22, 100000
worth of butter, eggs and poultry last
year. Just a little revenue OF $1,000
600 more than this government paid
for about a third OF the total acre
age of these United States, the Louisi-
ana purchase. We own one automo-
bile for every IS persons in Kansas.
but we hope TO do a little better next
year, for our farmers are o stand
Ing around waiting for the mayor and
county commissioners to sign mu-
nicipal Improvement bonds, and bonds
issued for the building OF permanent
highways that they are endeavocing
to buy at abort ten per cent above
par. A great many Of farmers are
complaining because they can't pay
Off their mortgage until It becomes
due, though they have decreased their
recorded indebtedness from So per
cent TO As per cent in the past 10
years. At the same time they have
boosted the home-owned securities
from $13,0O0,O00 to s67, 000, 900.
Every year our state creates a new
wealth; last year a wealth OF $4,000.
600 a day was the record. We spent
Sl~3,500,O00 last year to run $4,000
schools; that kept 10000 teachers
busy for about nine months. The
salaries OF the men teachers in u
public schools have increased from
$44 to $S0.50 a month in the past ten
years. while the salary OF the women
teachers has doubled. All Of the weak
school districts have state aid, and we
have no schools which have less than
a seyen-month term. We have an en-
dowment fund for the common
schools OF s9,25O,OOO With a popula.
ton of 100000 we had an enroll
ment Of 5000 students in Il state
universities, and 1900 in our denomi-
national schools. Six thousand stu
dents attended our state university
and agricultural college last year.
This is a remarkable showing when
compared with Missouri. which has
$500, 900 population and only 1917
students in her university and agri'
cultural college. Indiana, with about
the same population, has 1861 stu
dents in her combined schools.

BRITISH MEDALS OF HONOR
Coveted Decorations Awarded for Elk
ceptionally Meritorious Work In
Military Service.

We are so frequently confronted in
the newspapers at the present time
with General So-and-So, V. c., or d..
S. D., or other cryptic combination Of
letters following the name, that it
may be of interest to have the key to
some OF the riddles. In the English
army there are three principal dec
%orations. The foremost and most Gov
eted is the V. c. Victoria Cross,
which either officers or men can at
tain by a deed of undaunted gallantry
or heroism. The d. s. o. tDistin-
gulshed Service ORDER is a distinc-
ton conferred on commissioned Off.
GERS who have been mentioned in dis
patches for especially meritorious
service in the field before the enemy.
The ID. c. NJ, or Distinguished Con
duct Medal, we hear less Of, as 1t is
a decoration awarded more to the non.
commissioned ranks. AS in the case
Of the ID. S. o., 1t is given for personal
distinction on the fighting line.
