The socialists only polled about
$4,000 votes in the recent state el-

that these figures mean an increase

The Clarendon Sun says man
may pass pig pen so often that ne
will not notice the odor of the pen.
The inference is, we suppose, that a
man may get in a rut and stay
there 50 long that he really doesn't
know he is in a rut at ALL Then,
too, just because a man gets into a
rut and enjoys being there it does
not follow that the rut becomes at
tractive to everybody else.

Roosevelt has compared himself
with Washington, Jackson, Lincoln

&C. Ludwig of Little Rock, can
didate for speaker Of the next

caucus of all members of the leeis-

the different officers for the house.
That's sensible. There Is no sense
in spending a week and seven or
eight thousand dollars balloting for
officers in the lower house. The
folks who foot the bills are not in
terested in the organization to the
extent Of that price, and the folks
who foot the bills deserve some
consideration in advance Of a small
number of place seekers.

"Graustark," Geo. D. Bakers
dramatization of the novel of the
same name, is to be the attrac-
ton at the opera house, Monday,
Feb, 10.
The romantic story Of the love
OF Grenfall Lorry and Princess
Yetive of Graustark, with the
stirring events connected there
with, due to the chivalrous Ameri-
can becoming involved in the
affairs of that principality and it's
neighbors, makes a good play.
In the dramatization, the mar
rative Of the author has been
faithfully followed, with little de-
parture for stage purposes. There
is plentiful supply of comedy
Infused in the play, which fit with
the more serious phases of the
story. The company presenting
the play is up. to the standard,
each Individual having been Sc
iected for his or her adapta bility
for the particular role in which
they are cast. They have been
we'll drilled by Mr.. James w.
Castle, one of the premier stage
directors Of this country, who for
years handled that end of the
business for che Whitney enter
prises. AS a scenic production,
Graustark is unequalled for mas
sive and magnificent scenery and
effects. It takes. place behind no
romantic play of years.
