The Iona Road

Brother, what if the road be long,
Out Of the gray town, over the hill!
A gay good heart and snatch Of
song,
And life laughs back as we troop
along.
What II the inns be good or badl
Turn your face to the wind, my lad :
Take the, long road with d will,
Out Of the gray town, over the hill.
Brother, what if the day be long!
Journeys end, and the stars and the
sun,
There's a dusty highway ribboning
Through ieweled land to the
cleaning sea.
Drink health to the hearts that
Fling The cup at the stayat home!
Then take the road till the day be
done y
Till The journeys end, and the stars
the sun.
--CHAS w. KENNEDY.

The untimely death of Rebort
Sampson Lanler, the youngest son
OF the great poet and scholar, Sidney
lanlcr. cut off a man in his prime,
whose work i'll one line at least, was
special in its protection to others.
His chief practical undertaking
was tn" development of the financial
department of the Review of Re
views. with particular reference TO
| It's practical aid to investors.
How true it is that hundreds and
even thousands Of people Of modest
means are caught by the "get-rich
quick schemes. and it was to expose
| lhrse sWindIers that Robert Lanier
threw himself into the business Of
writing letters to country school
teachers. or worried old people. to
help them guard their savings and
avoid alluring speculations.
He did not do this III a petty way,
nor did ii dwindIe down to weari-
some routine. He studied invest
ment problems with the zeal and
purpose Of a man who was determ-
med to master them. He came to
know his Wall street" inside and
out, not with the motive of gain for
himself, but solely to understand the
work Of financial editor and
guide to investors.
Gut of his studies he developed
an immense leowledee of the meth
DDS of "low finaree,"
He prepared bill which met the
full approval of able men in the le-
gal and banking professions, and
which was intended to exclude
fraudulent promoters from the use
of the mails.
He took his bill to high officials
in the postoffice department. and
the department of justice, where 1t
met with commentator, especially
from Mr.. Wickersham.
And it is fair to believe that a
great part of the aroused activity
Of the postoffice department 10 re-
cent years against concerns doing
mail-order business, in fraudulent
stocks was inspired by Robert Lam
ier's zeal and intense effort, and by
his remarkable knowldeg of facts.
He had no grudges against partic-
ular men or institutions engaged in
this bad business" but he had
passion for justice, and for right
solutions, and 1t became his partic
ular duty, in the line of his every
day work, to protect the American
investor, particularly women and
persons remote from financial cen
lers, who are easily victimized by
the kind Of glittering propositions
that the trained business man would
throw into the waste basket
Robert Lanier's studies of business
and finance had led him to take a
keen interest in The problems of mo-
deru monopoly. and the regulation
of big business
AT The time OF his death he was
preparing a series Of articles for |
the Review" in which he was pro-
posing to show the bearing Of the
so-called trust question upon The
different elements Of the economic
organism--his plans, though not
completed. had progressed far
enough TO carry them through :
Robert Lanier's ambition was not
so much desire to be famous or
to achieve what men call success, as
20 use all the power and energy he
had to give worth and dignity to his
task.
Albert Shaw says that so great
was his Loyalty, so original and YER
salile his talents, so charming and
gentle his spirit that his example
made life seem a better and a finer
thing for all his associates.

Roof Gnrden-Kine
color Pictures.
BelaScO

The Kinemacolor pictures as now dis
played on the roof garden of the BeIasco
Theater constitute a summer nights en-
tertainment of distinct individuality and
delightful novelty. Last weeks inaugu-
ration of this form of amusement pre-
sented far above the treetops has proven
an assured success. Not a detail of ma
ture's coloring as vividly shown in Kline
macolor subjects is lost in the open air.
The roof garden is open at 7:50 o'clock
each night, and the Kinemacolor per-
formance begins at $50. In the mean
time Prof. Hollis string orchestra rem
ders a twilight concert. and after the
pictures have been exhibited patrons
may remain on the roof until midnight
enjoying the cool breezes, music, and re-
freshments. In case of unfavorable
weather previous to or during the en-
tertainment, same will be given or con-
tinurd in the theater downstairs with
out delay.
Beginning tomorrow the new subjects
will include: The Funeral of the King
of Denmark" a state pageant of i'm
pressive interest; Picturesque North
Wales,'' a beautiful travel animated sub
ject; THE Generals Only Son. a pic
ture drama; "Assouan and the Nile
Cataract" showing the famous Assouan

Columbia VIII Not Close.

In the announcement made to-day by
Managers Metzerott and Barger that tbs
Columbia Theater will remain open until
September with the now famous Colum-
bIa Players in summer stock Is the in
formation that that phenomenally sue
cessful organization. despite the unprece-
dented opposition this season. is to again
break all previous records.
When the house passed into the pos
session Of the present management in
1909 the season OF the Columbia Players
covered seventeen weeks, a period never
before equaled IN summer entertainments
In Washington. The following year the
time was extended TO nineteen weeks.
and last season there were twenty-one
weeks OF uninterrupted catering to tho
amusement desires of the better class of
Washingtonians. This season. by begin
ming somewhat earlier. the Columbia
Players will have attained when the sea-
son is brought TO a close in September
twenty-five weeks, representing a quar-
ter of a hundred modern and up-to-date
dramatic successes presented. OF this
number contracts have just been closed
for the final offerings of the season. and
artists and Costumers already have in
hand plots and drawings for the work
they will be called upon to contribute for
the entire list.
Another interesting feature Of the situ-
alton is that with the merger of the
summer and winter season this year the
present management will have broken
another record in having the Columbia
Theater closed for only three weeks in
four years. These periods of inactivity
were compulsory by reason OF necessary
repairs and improvements, the major
portion OF which in recent years have
been made while the house was still
open, It being found more profitable TO
pay the mechanics and laborers the eN-
ira time rate than to sacrifice the use
Of the house for even a short period OF
time
