THE PEOPLE.

John A. Sleicher In Leslie's: me
people should rule. No one denies
1t. No one can say otherwise. The
people do rulel The people rule In
every household. The father and
the mother are the rulers. Some
times the elder children join in the
family councils. This happens only
when these children attain years OF
discretion. There is wisdom In
this, otherwise the family would
lose all its pure and wholesome In
fluence for good.
Sometimes--to0 often'-children
without experience or Judgment, IN
the exuberance of youth, willing to
run risks, to take chances, to dis
count the future and to stake ev-
erything on single move, insist on
having something to say as TO the
conduct Of the family. They insist
that they should be heard II their
elders are, that they are as good
as any one else, that they belong
to the family and should not be with
out a voice in Its affairs.
Let the people rule! Put all the
children on the same plane; exper-
fence or inexperience must not be
the test; membership in the family
is sufficient. This is the captivat-
ing argument. Do fathers and
mothers listen to such absurd plead
ings? Sometimes. Then what hap
pens? Is the peace Of the family
assured or Is discord invited? Let
every reader answer for himself.
The rule OF the family is the rule
OF those who have. had years Of ex-
perience. who have attained discre-
tion, who know what Is best for the
household, without injustice, need
less restraint or useless regulation.
This Is the rule Of the family. SO
with the rule Of the people. Where
ever manhood, or manhood and wo-
manhood suffrage prevails, the peo-
pie rule. II the people fail to do
their duty at the ballot box, they
alone are responsible, II they per-
NIT self-seeking bosses to usurp the
rights OF the people, the latter are
to blame. The power is theirs. Let
them take It.
The best rule this country has
ever enjoyed has been the rule Of
its fathers. They framed consti-
tuition that has endured for nearly
century and half II served US
we'll in regulating the affairs Of this
great nation until disturbers ap4
peared. The clamor for the rule Of
the people Is sometimes inspired By
honest motives, but 1t Is too often
cover for the selfish purposes Of
those who seek public favor. Read
the list and note how many OF those
who pose as special pleaders for
the people are holding or seeking
public office. TIE record tells the
story. They plead for the rule o.
the people. They are the people.

THAT PLEA FOR FUNDS.

About the funniest stunt that has
been pulled off in the present CAM
paign is the plea for funds In Kansas
for the Roosevelt Third party ex-
penses. The ridiculous claim that
money is needed would make . horse
laugh. AS everybody knows Perkins
and Dan Hanna and other trust
magnates are pouring out hundreds
Of thousands OF dollars to get their
hands on the government. There's
money to burn and the bosses o.
the Progressive party are faaIy
wallowing in cash and private cars
and luxurious headquarters. But
they plead for the farmers Of Kansas
who have been for years paying
tribute to Perkins harvester trust
to contribute so that Perkins win
not have to put up so much! And
a liberal rake Off is promcsd ey-
erybody who will go out and collect
the dough. Like the hero OLSEN
ator Curtis story Of the Missouri
man who offered his neighbors half
the logs they would pull ont Of the
river, it is q superfluity Of gall. But
maybe the Progressive party bosses
think Kansans are suckers and they
might as well be soaked as moi.

The Climbers" has lost none OF its
punch since the days when Amelia Bing-
hams Blanche Sterling was the talk of
the theatrical world. Last night the Co
lumbia Players essayed Clyde Fitch's
greatest success to score an emphatic
hit. and few, II any, OF the productions
made by the players have been received
with as tense interest as that manifested
by the capacity audience present last
evening. The gripping situations which
follow one another in quick succession
throughout the four acts call for the best
efforts Of those interpreting them-a call
which was answered by splendid Per-
formances from Willard Robertson, Ed
win H. Robins. Frances Nelson. and
Aline McDermott.
Mr.. Robertson's work, especially, will
probably remain long in the memory OF
those who saw II. His scene at the end

ence breathless. And again in the fourth

ing finally decides TO go away for q
long time" his performance gripped and
held. Miss McDermott also distinguished
herself by virtue OF her excellent work
IN her third act scene with Ned Warden

and better executed portrait. Miss Nell
son has in Blanche Sterling an excellent
opportunity for the exercise OF those
talents which have won for her q large
following. and a following which will
be more than satisfied with their favor

beautiful costumes in which she appears.
Mr.. Robins is a manly. forceful Ned
Warden, his second act scene when he
denounces Sterling. and his scene with
Miss Dodesby in the third act being es-
pecially well done. Mr.. Daley contributes

scene in this act that makes you grip
