TUESDAY, DEC. 81, 1912.
the TRl.srATE CONVENTION,

A glance over the programme Of tho
'Fri-State. Grain and Stock Growers
convention, as announced yesterday,
will show the reason for the remark
able success Of these great gatherings
and the interest that is taken in them
by the actual tillers of the soil all
over the northwest. Their continued
and growing success Is due to the fact
that the subjects discussed arc Of
practical value TO every farmer.
The men who discuss them arc en-
pertR along certain zines Of agriculture.
They have proved by actual expert
n1ent, certain things about grain grow
! ing, or stock raising or weed killing
OF some other topic which is of vital
! interest to the man who farms and
they give this knowledge TO the men
who gather at tho convention.
The programme for this ycar is
especially comprehensive and of I'M
usual interest. It will be the biggest
kind Of a treat TO the hundreds Of
agri%culturalists who will flock to the
city the week Of Jan, "A and Presi-
dent Worst and Secretary Hovcrstad
who have expended so much thought
and effort in arranging it deserve
great credit.

II pYNAMITERS.

There is one thing that must be
urely way in which American justice
is meted out and that is that there
is little chance for snap" judgment.
When the Mcnamara case was being
tried and the widespread qualifications
, of the dynamite conspiracy was just
being fully realized there was a great
outbreak of emotional excitement.
The trial of the men who were con-
victed of and sentenced for this dyna-
mite plot, however, went through in
the usual cold-blooded matter of fact
way that is characteristic Of Ameri-
OF the most important ever tried in
america it was tried with the same
judicial serenity as would have char
acterized any criminal case Of minor
Importance.
Americans Of every class can feel
trial, unbiased by any public clamor
for or against their conviction. That
they richly deserved the punishment
that was given them by Judge An
derson, as announced in The Forum
last evening, there is practically no
doubt and there will be little SYM
pathy from n person or class.
These men were from the self
termed "labortng class 1t is to be
hoped that the same justice, which
has ordered them behind prison doors
will fall to the lot of Pres. Chas. S
Mellen, president of the New York
New Haven & Hartford road, who
comes from another class and whc
was recently indicted for alleged VIC
IIation of the anti trust laws, should
khe be found guilty.

of the small borrower. the one who
now supports the loan shark. There
SHOULD be a legitimate banking ar
arrangement for this imperative demand,
as there are often unfortunate people
who are scompelled by pressing needs
10 borrow small sums Of money. and
the arrangement for them to do so at
a low rate of interest and without
ruinous and oppressive penalties and
commissions is not only important,
but essential.
In those cities where the loan shark
plies his a~vocation Of eXtortion and
oppression, provision should be made
to supply the wants Of the i'm
pccunious borrower. This should be
done in every city at once, for the
trend in every state is TO drive out the
sharks by stringent laws, and when
they do so something better should
axe their place.

Match maker at Grand.

There was a large sized audience
at the Grand last night when the
George H. Webster stock. company
gave it's initial performance of Dan
Sully famous play, The Match Maker,
and it was fully as well put on as Mr..
Sully's famous play, The Match Maker,
There were two beautiful scenes used
in. the. pastoral drama and they caused
a good deal of favorable comment, as
did the work of the producer Geo. V.
Halliday. Pat Carson, as Father
Whalen had a part that was we'll
suited to him in the good natured
prients. The DR.. WEIGH of Jack Garlic
ton was nicely taken. and SO was the
DR.. Cassidy of Joe Golden, and the
Jim Walsh of c. G. Miller, the Michael
Sullivan of Sam Reed and the Frank
Dougher of Charles Hart. Miss
Virginia Zollman as Nellie made most
of the part and gave a sweet portrayal
of the pleasing Character. Miss Gillian,
as Katherine Corrigan and Miss Car
son as Agnes Cassidy we're also well
UP in their parts. It vas a well given
rendition of the pretty love story.
For the last half of the week the
military drama Marching Through
Georgia with Miss Madel Won VoIner
in the star part.

The Theatres
The Ornhnum.

Very pleasing was the bill that was
presented to the patrons of the Or
pheum yesterday afternoon and even
ing for the first three days Of this
week, and Manager Fowler was con-
graduated by many. A splendid act
is that of Menlo Moore's 'Rah, 'Rah
Boys, several bright college boys who
sing nicely and have a bright dialogue
and are assisted by a bright young
woman 1t Is a we'll arranged musical
act n produced with nice costumes
and excellent scenic effects. Another
good act is that of Kathrine Moore
and Dancing Brownie, a sort of study
in lack and white, the young lady
of the team doing the white part of
h act and a small boy the other.
They have a fine little act.
Hector DeSylVia has a new act in
roller skating, which he executes nice
ly, and wears some magnificent cos
tunes, doing splits and all manner
Of difficult feats. Miss Evelyn Dare
has a new song, Song of the Soul,
which she rendered in a beautiful
manne and it was greatly enjoy
ed.
Johnston & Booth, a mar and
woman team, have an act that is full
of good music, talking and whistling,
and they are obliged to respond to
several recalls. The show opens and
closes with the Professor Coscio
orchestra and the celebrated Or
pheumscope moving pictures, all new,
making an hour and a half of real
enjoyment.

POPULAR SONGS,

OF course there is much to be said
against many of the popular songs Of
today; and yet there probably Is no
greater quarrel with the songs which
arc now popular than there would
have been with the popular songs Of
other times. Many of the songs which
are now popular are dissustingly silly
in FORM the words mean nothing;
they arc wholly lacking in lyric quail
tics. and it mainly is the tune that
carries them.
But could not tho same thing be said
about many Of the songs Of another
time? Dixie and Yankee Doodle have
10 special merit as verse; the fact
is that they would not he accepted
by any Of the magazines of the coun-
try now, and they ought not TO be
accepted, if they were stripped OF
their music and their historical sig
nificancc. And precisely the same
criticism can be made Of most of
the popular songs Of today.
But the action Of the Young Mems
Christian association of Washington,
-. c., in tabooing certain popular
songs will not achieve the result
sought. At tina the association is
right in putting the stamp OF it's dis
approval on the vulgar songs Of the
time. OF course, most men and
womcn will have no objection to the
song that is politely inane; but they

HOT AFTER LOAN SHARK.

There is pending in congress what
Ss termed the loan shark BILL" which
Is designed to protect small and i'm
pecuntGus borrowers in the District
or Columbia, from those greedy lend
ers of money who charge outrageously
high rates Of interest and otherwise
Cypress those who are unfortunate
enough to get into the clutches of
such a set.
While this bill applies only to the
District Of Columbia, it is nevertheless
ct general interest from the fact that
in nearly every city conditions relat-
ldnE to the loan shark are similar to
those that exist in Washington, and
il h law enacted by congress should
be effective it is probable that the
states would follow with. similar
statutes.
It is pointed out that the small Dor
Eowers have suffered a great deal in
washington from the terms of unsuri-
bus interest exacted by those sharks
whose business it is to prey upon the
unfortunate, for it is said they charge
not less than 10 per cent a month,
with penalties and commissions that
sometimes run the cost of money &C
eomnnodatious up to the. rate. of. even
$50 per- cent a year.
The ones who are oppressed by these
money lenders are the ones who can
least afford it. IS they are usually
hard pressed when they go as a last
resort to a loan shark to get money
which they must have, and the pur-
pose of the bill now pending in con-
gregs Is to protect az. far as, 1t is, pos
sihle to do SO the unfortunate mes.
II requires no appeal to the mem
beers Of congress to induce them to
favor some adequate relief for those
who r falling into the clutches Of
these ~usurious. grasping money lend
era who would exact their pound of
aesfa from each unfortunate borrower,
FOR the condition of the stranded one
and those who are living, from hand
TO mouth is being continually brought
to the attention of the federal law
makers. and when they finally agree
on the best method Of putting the loan
shark out of business there ig no
doubt that it viii be done with neat
ness and dispatch.

a very pleasant evening passed, Cap
