full production of "The Concert with
Leo Ditrichstein in the leading role
will have its first performance at
the Baker theatre on Friday, October

plays and productions of David i;el-

than those of any manager now cater
ing TO the American public. It is
not within the records of the past
dozen years that he has had more
than two ''out and OUT failures. 1t
is because of this remarkable record,
and because of the perfect cast and

to expect SO much more of him than

POLICE WE'RE ACTIVE.
Have Busy Week of 1t With Three
PROFESSIONS and REGULAR Work


Morristown's police have had a
busy week. With three parades to
handle, an accident of considerable
proportions as well as the regular
work including the arrest of gang
of fighters on Saturday night Chief
Holloway and his men have been ac-
tive.
The firemen's parade and exhibit
tion of Wednesday drew big crowd
of spectators while the Columbus
day parade drew many people. The
biggest crowd was on Sunday to
witness the Holy Name parade. The
officers had very little disorder to
quell, devoting almost all their time
at all three parades in directing traf-
fic. Patrolman Wildey was sent out
ahead of each of the parades to clear
the line of march and cover such
points as the other members of the
force were unable to reach on foot.
Several of the men worked hard
at the work of rescue of those in
jured at the fireworks exhibition
Saturday night while at the fire early
Monday morning members of the
force did good work in holding down
the flames in the Rosen house with
extinguishers until the arrival OF
the fire department.
The three parades made it nee
essary for those men working at
night to work in the afternoon also,
thus curtailing their rest but they
cheerfully did the extra work and
deserve merited appreciation Of theil
labors in looking after the safety OF
the thousands of people who wit
messed the three professions.

About Taxes.

People who pay poll taxes and
nothing else are not in position 10
have much patience with those who
complain of excessive taxation. They
also claim that rents should be lower
for houses ara capital and the capi-
talist should bear the burden, no mat
ter how assiduously he may have
struggled to provide a little income
against the time of adversely or old
age and incompetence. It is the so
ciallstic cry, the "ferment of discon-
tent that will not down as long as
there is a man of health and energy
who is willing to work overtime to
lay up something for rainy day.
