EliTcH ATTRACTIONS.

THE Deep Purple" the powerful
human interest drama by Paul Arm
strong and Wilson Miner, which
created such a sensation in Denver
during the recent season. will be pre-
sented at Elitch's Gardens, Denver.
during the week commencing Sunday.
June 30. Walter Edwards, who, as
Laylock, the Killer, caused so much
comment among Denver audiences, is
with the splendid Elitch-Long Stock
company this season, and will be
seen in his old part next week. The
plot OF the play is based upon the
struggles of an escaped convict to
lead a new existence in spite Of the
efforts of an old cellmate to send
him back to prison for the reward.
The final outcropring of the Grim
inal tendencies in the Killer upon
meeting with the informer. combin-
ed with the love interest which runs
through the who'e play. grips the be-
holder and keeps his interest intense
until the last word is spoken.
From the present indications.
Elitch's Gardens is entering upon
/, the most prosperous season OF its
existence. Numerous new attractions
have been added for the entertain.
ment Of the visitor. and the shady
hooks are in constant demand by pic
, mic parties.

WRESTLING MATCH. .

Central City is to have one OF the
biggest wrestling matches that will
be secn in the country July 4th.
Usuf Hassan. THE Terrible Turk
one OF the biggest and most notei
men in the game, will meet Sid
Varney. former western champion.
These men wrest.ed in Idaho
Springs. June 26th. and Usuf Has
san agreed to throw Sid Varney
twice in an hour. but failed to put
his opponent even once to tho mat.
So the two grarp'ers will meet in
finish match at the Opera House
on the night of the 4th. A good, big
purse is offered and no doubt there
will be one big scuffle at the Local
house. Several good pre.iminaries
will be run and an enjoyable oven

Miss Theresa Doyle, of Denver. is
enjoying n visit with the Pailipps
girls. She came up more particularly
to witness the big show presented at
the opera house Tuesday evening
under the direction Of Father Naugh'

Denver. with all its varied attrac-
tions, never has anything to equal

CLUB ENTERTAINMENT
SOMETHING GRAND

everyone VINO attended the enter
tainment in the opera house Tuesday
evening for the benefit of ST. Mary's
parish club, and under the direction
Of Rev. Father Naughton, came away
better than satisfied and admitting
that they had received more than
their moneys worth.
1t was an entertainment such as
is seldom presented in a small town
as the talent that performed Tues
day evening is not easy to procure.
There was a little of everything to
the show-a sort of malange. 1t was
just one laugh after another from
the moment that Father Naughton
told his first story until the curtain
went down on the final number Of
the program.
Father Naughton is without a peer
when it comes to telling a story.
Most of his gags are new, but when
he springs an old one his method of
telling it causes you to laugh. He
has the power of resurrecting a dead
yarn and giving it new life. Abraham
Lincoln never had anything on the
father when it comes to story telling,
and George Washington would not
consider himself in the same class.
Louis the Fourteenth or Hermann
whichever yo1 will, but Louis was
there with the magic and the hyp-
motto influence. He went right down
into the audience and located a five
dollar bill and anyone who can do so
marvellous a feat as that in Central
City audience possesses wonderful,
supernatural powers.
Joseph Newman, everybody knows
Joe Newman. The only thing against
Joe is that he halls from Denver.
He is g. whole show himself. Should
all the rest fail to appear for their
stunts and Joe were there alone, the
people would receive their moneys
worth. He can sing, tell a story or
dance and do any or all with brilliant
success of effort He will return dur
ing the latter part of August and
bring his company-all stars-and
give an entertainment in the opera
house
Richard F. Staley and Frederick
Daw, song and dance artists, were
over from Idaho Springs and did {
great deal toward making the affair
the success that it was. Mr.. Stale,
is retired actor and is as clever as
, he is homely. He is just naturally al
home before the footlights and cut:

song and playing the piano, he has
the attractive facial features of Bill

with Billy Kersand's (the minstrel,

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RAIL.
ROAD COMPANIES.

When railroad company is char
tered by the State and is in operation
as a going concern, there are numer-
GUS responsibilities it assumes, all
looking to the convenience and safety
OF the public. The primary obligation
il for safety, and when that il provid-
ed for, the next il expedition. And
just as far as safety will permit, ex-
petition will be required, and not one
jot beyond that. However desirable
expedition may be, and there is pop
ular demand for fast trains, safety OF
travel should never be sacrificed for
speed.
But high speed is not the only factor
and not the principal factor in the nu-
merous wrecks which have recently
occurred on our American railroads
producing such havoc to human life
and limb. That some wrecks upon
our railroads may be unavoidable, is
probably true, but they are unquestion-
ably few in comparison with those
that ought not to have occurred.
Where is the responsibility i'm such
cases? We answer, primarily with
the management. When a wreck such
as occurred on our Western Maryland
Railroad, on Friday night last, killing
five persons and injuring half u dozen
more, it is idle for company officials
to say that certain men disobeyed Or
ders, or failed to discharge their duty.
and endeavor, thus, to relieve the
management of responsibility. The
fact is, the real responsibility lies
right there, and so the people under
stand it. A good management will
adopt the best rules for safety, and
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1912-12-13

then employ the best men to carry
them out. It will not do to say that
you cannot get such men. There ar
plenty or them, but the management
that il satisfied with men who are in
efficient will never look for the best. Tt
may be necessary for the company to
pay them higher wages. Well, if it il
necessary, pay it. Better to pay high
wages to high class men, than to pay
Locomotive Builders or Car Builders
for new equipment, to replace that de-
.stroyed in a wreck.
It is no answer to the travelling pub
lie to say, after wreck, that the COM
pany is compelled to deal with the
human element, which is not infalli-
BILE. 1t is true that the human ele-
ment is not fnfallible, but what the
public wants to know il, what kind of
human element are you dealing with?
Are your engineers and all the rest of
your train crew the best men you can
get? In addition to their expert
knowledge, are they reliable? Are they
sober and honest and to be depended
upon? These are matters in which
the public is deeply interested.
A railroad management is bound to
have the best equipment it can afford,
and the best men it can employ.
1t is time for railroad officials from
President down to wake up to the fact
that in these disastrous wrecks, and
also these trains that are uniformly
out of harmony with the schedule, the
people know what is the matter, they
know where the fault is, and locate it
at the top of the line, among the man
agement officials.

The friends OF the many aspirants
for Cabinet positions and Senatorial
honors from this state have furnished
much genuine amusement by the rea-
sons they assign in behalf of their re-
spective favorites.
One should be selected for the Cabi-
net because he had remote ancestor,
who many years ago held similar po-
sition, thereby basing his claim upon
the discredited ground of heredity.
Another should be thought Of be-
cause he was deeply interested in the
Academy at Annapolis, and popular
with the Cadets, together with person
al appearance Of some class" which
renders apt the lines from Pinafore:-
If you would be ruler in the Queens
Na-v-e-e,
You must stick to your desk and never
90 to sea-"
Another In said to be qualified for
the Senate, because he 1w kind to- the
poor; another because OF the many
stubs in his check-book, representing
past campaign contributions; NIL I'm the
end to be subject to the approval OF
the city Organization. ~ ~
1t would be futile to Try to tickle
one with a straw. whose disabilities
are not moved by such ludicrous pre-
sentation.
p This is in no wise intended to bring
these several aspirants into disrepute,
but rather to save them from their
friends.
