The County Auditor.

Few people who do not actively
come in touch with the county audi
tors Office realize the Importance of
this office and the wide range of in
,fuence which it has. An auditor who
is unwilling to work himself, who is
lax in his Office discipline, or who
holds the Office for what there is in
it with no thought of the public SER
vice he has sworn to perform, can
soon put the records in such shape
that it will take many months of
hard work to straighten them out.
James L.: George has been the au-
ditor of Beltrami county for two
years. From the evidence of such men
as Public Examiner Fritz, his deputy,
Colonel Johnson, and local men who
constantly have business with the au-
ditor, it appears that when Mr..
George assumed the duties of the Of,
flee the records were far behind, some
as much as eight years. At the
present time, the records have been
brought down to date and should an
other man assume the Office January
1913, he will find the books in first
class condition.
Mr.. George is by training an &C
countant and bookkeeper. Added to
this technical education, he has had
many years of experience in business
life so that he brings to the Office the
abilities of a we'll trained business
man. He is not only competent to see
that the routine of his office is cared
for promptly, but is in a position. to
give valuable advice to the county
commissioners, board of equalization
and board of audit.
In speaking of Mr.. George, Andrew
Fritz, public accountant of Minneso-
ia, said, Gle is the first real auditor
that Beltrami county has had and he
was badly needed. I never saw books
in such shape as when he took hold of
them" Colonel Johnson, deputy pub
lie examiner, said, els anyone running
against George? Well, he should be
reelected easily. He is the first real
auditor the county has had and the
tax payers cannot afford to let him
get away" These two men have more
to do with county officials than any
other two in the state and their opin-
ions should count.
In the two years he has been in Of
flee, Mr.. George has saved the county
enough money by proper buying of
supplies to more than pay for the ex-
ira clerk hire needed to care for the
increased business and to bring the
books up to date. He has worked hard
himself, not leaving everything to his
clerks He has been conscientious in
the discharge of his duties.
The duties of an office such as the
county auditors cannot be learned in
one year nor in two.. The details are
so numerous that it takes many
months before one man can master
them. To break in new man costs
the county just as much as it does
business firm to break in new clerks.
When man is found who is capable,
willing to work, and who for two
years has conducted the Office in a
first class manner it is not good bust
ness for the county to change.
James L. George is a good auditor.
He should be reelected.

'KON|GSK|NDER' AT OPERA
Opening of the Second Week by
Miss farrar.

The second week OF the opera was
opened last night with a German work.
Perhaps the fact would be more signih-
cant II ASSOCIATED from the other, that
the system of fepertory making at the
establishment calls for an equal distrtbu-
ton through the subscription nights OF
favorite singers, regardless of the works
In which they appear. 1t was Signor
Carusos opera last Monday, and there
fore Miss Farrars last night. But IL Is
noteworthy that Miss Farrar could take
part in something other than a thread
bare Italian opera or one OF the Wag-
merriam tragedies, In which German opera
Is almost summed up in America. The
Metropolitan administration has shown q
commendable effort to enlarge the Ger
man list during the last twenty years. but
having no Puccini TO help II the result
has not been imposing. Goldmark's
honlgin Won Saba" relic Of the old
German regime. could not maintain itself.
Salome' fell by the wayside, owing TO
circumstances beyond the control Of the
director-to use a well worn phrase.
Tiehand," "Versiegelt," "Lobetanz' and
"Pique Dame" drafted from the Russian)
were all victims of the same conditions
which prevail at an institution in which
art cannot be considered for it's own sake.
There remain "Parsifal" which will pur-
sue Its dignihed course here, while caus-
ing seething excitement throughout
Europe. as soon as II is emancipated from
the restrictions Of copyright; also the two
operas of Wagner's lonely successor,
northumberland und GreteIp and
konigskinder'-and the Teutonized con-
tribution of the Bohemian composer. Sme-
tana. Die Verkaufte Braut."
1t was "K6nigskinder" which was per-
formed last night IN all the attractive
ness which ii exerted on former occasions,
with new interest contributed by the
advent Of a newcomer in the cast-Miss
Lila Robeson--who effected her debut on
the New York stage in the character OF
the witch. In her singing, as well as act
Ing, there was promise Of excellent eff
ficiency. More Is scarcely called for. It
Is more than likely that she has a. voice
OF good quality and unusual power but
she sacrificed IT largely to her desire for
dramatic defamation, and, like novice
Though one amply endowed with con-
idence). she lessened the effect Of her
work by characterization. An atmos-
phere of poetry surrounded Miss Far

piled the comedy element, Of which they
have been excellent exponents since the
opera first appeared In the local list. Fol-
lowing was the cast:

HUGHES FARCE TAME F..
"What Ais You?" Fails to
Score at the Criterion.
SOCIAL SATIRE ATTEMPTED
But Not Achieved-Cast Lost
in the Scramble of
Strong Arm Play.

Rupert Hughes's strong-arm farce
What Ais Your" was ailng at the Cri-
terion last night. and nothing but dose
Of cold storage should be prescribed for It
A new idea seems to be creeping into
farce in these recent days. 1t is to drop
the molodramatic farce of swift action
and substitute the dilettante farce OF lines
and personal vaudeville specialties. Per-
haps the new idea will work out into
unique entertainment in time. The ex-
periments so far have been a sad hash.
Last nights farce compounded its all
ments from germs of comedy. tragedy,
pathos and bathos To diagnose the case
is difficult.
Beings from many divergent walks OF
me- all Of whom in the first act eat in
the fashionable Hotel St Ritz decide TO
adjourn for reasons both internal and
external TO Medilrs celebrated health re-
sort The second act finds them there In
the gymnasium. and the third act trots
them all across countr on a twenty-four-
mile chase after a comic situation. Com
edy is light footed, however. and the pur-
suers never even sighted her. The love
story is entwined about the redemption
from Eilded folly Of a fair youth. A little
clever line or two, while tragedy,
pathos and bathos are all supplied by
the players as they appear in their
gymnasium suits in the second act
The practice of selecting actors
to suit the type, which has been so de-
cried lately, is made fine art of in Mr..
Hughes's play. In fact, when the whole
of the fun depends on having one man
weigh three hundred pounds and his
partner ninety. a producer is not only
obliged to think about types but is prac-
tically forced into going to a museum to
find them.
Last nights audience-many of them
found comedy in avoirdupois, however.
In some moods everything in the world
is amusing. A person just cured OF
nervous prostratlon has been known TO
laugh at an elevated train and ask her
companion If he didn't think that was
funny little thing going along up there.
Shelley Hull, who is an accomplished
young actor when he has any sor: OF part,
looked last night as though he realized
the foolshness of going to Medlll's to be
cured OF the only thing that gave him
any chance to act-his bonny little Jag"
in the first scene. Edouard Durand, as
the maitre dhotel, had the only serious
part In the farce. He played II as omi-
nously as though II had been a part in
Macbeth" The cast was for the most
part heavy, with two slight exceptions
in Bobby Barry and Roxane Lansing. The
rest must have aggregated some three
thousand pounds.
