LYRIC PACKED ON
OPEN|Ne oNIGHT
Virginia Handsome New PLAY.
house Opens Last Evening,
Standing Room Being at q
Premium,

The opening bill at the Lyric,
Virginia s handsome new vaude-
vile house, was played to pack
ed house last evening, standing
room being at premium at popu-
lar prices.
Seats were placed on sale at the
box office at 10 o'clock on Wed
nesday and before 6 100 O'Clock
that evening every available seat
in the house was taken, showing
an appreciation on the part of
Virginians of the enterprise of
the promoters Of the Lyric, which
is certainly the handsomest play
house on the ranges if not in the
northwest. Nor was this show of
appreciation confined to Virgin
ians, as many from our neighbor-
ing city Of Eveleth were found to
be in the vast audience which
greeted Al. G.. Flournoy as he, by
request, made a brief address in
PRODUCING Manager St. Clair, in
which he rendered the promoters
Of the house several handsome
bouquets-quite as handsome, in
fact, as was the beautiful floral
piece presented the house by the
publicity committee Of the Com
mercial Club which occupied a
pedestal in the foyer during the
afternoon and evening.
The Lyric is a beautiful house
in every respect, being artistical-
ly designed with a view to the
comfort and pleasure of patrons,
no matter in what part of the
house they may be seated, and it's
booking with the Allardt circuit
is sufficient guarantee that the en-
tertainments will be up to the
standard at all times. 10 Messrs.
Kennedy, Sigel and Elmquist,
promoters, is due the thanks Of
the entire community for provid-
ing Virginia with a real theatre
after years Of waiting, and it is
the hope of all the venture may
be found a pleasing financial sue
cess from the outset.

VOTES FoR. PURCHASE
:. Of LIBRARY SITE
Following Communication From
Library Board and Report by
Council Committee Central
Aveune Site Given Un-
animous Choice -

A communication from the LII
brary Board, following a meet
ing held at the Office Of Secretary
Pickering on Monday evening at
which such action was voted, was
read to the city Council Tuesday
evening recommending the pur-
chase of the Central Avenue site
for the public library, such site
having been designated as the un-
animous choice of the board.
The proposed site includes lots
6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 Of block 80, the
appraised price being $4,000. At
a former meeting Of the council
this price was considered too high
and the matter was referred to
the committee on city property
and buildings AS chairman Of
that committee Alderman E. G. A.
johnson made report that proba-
BILE prices on other sites had been
obtained and that after due con-
sideration the committee had vot-
ed for the Central avenue site,
the report of the committee being
accepted and the purchase of the
site named being authorized by
full vote of the council.
The library board has under
consideration the erection of a
building to cost approximately
$40, 900, additional funds for such
purpose having been guaranteed
through the Carnegie library
fund. Plans for the proposed
structure are now being made by
a firm Of Minneapolis architects
and it is hoped all will be in readi-
ness for immediate work on the
new structure in the early spring.
In the plans for the new build
ing and as an element in deciding
upon site it is understood ar
rangements have been perfected
for the heating of the library
from the school plant, while the
school library and public library
will to an extent be united.

reiterated his determination not to be
a candidate for the presidency. Il have
been unfortunate" he said, "in having
been regarded by some as necessary to
a Democratic presidential campaign, and
have been accused of being over-am-
bilious for the presidency. No friend Of
mine need be told that / am so much
more interested in the things for which
we are struggling than | am in Office,
that | shall give more valiant service
to him who bears the standard OF our
party than l ever could render to my
self"
Urging that the constitutional amend
ment providing for popular election OF
United States senators, now in confer
ence, be rid of partisan consideration,
Mr.. Bryan said: Il appeal to the Dem
ocrats OF the House of Representatives
to show more interest in rescuing the
Senate from the control of corporations

Human Nature in Hawaii.

In the January American Magazine
Ray Stannard Baker writes an article
which he calls Human Nature in Ha-
waii," showing how the few want the
many to work for them--perpetually
tract from the article:
AS good a bit of economic philosophy
as / heard while in the Hawaiian Islands
came from the lips of curious char
acter who keeps a little stopping place
in the island of Maui. When he took
our bags at the wharf, my companion
asked him how the town was prosper
ing.
"'Oh, said he, we're all right so long
as the Japs keep on working
stripped bare of all confusing nom
essentials our curious hotel-keeper had
set forth the fundamental condition in
Hawaii. So long as the Japanese. the
Chinese, the Portuguese. the Porto
all the other babel of foreign peoples
keep on working quietly, we're all right.
Practically everything in Hawaii de-
ponds upon the sugar industry-all the
wealth, the fine homes, the beautiful
buildings, the smooth automobile roads,
the extraordinary charitable and benevo-
lent institutions. And the sugar indus
try depends largely upon the labor of
these foreign peoples, mostly Japanese,
upon the land. 1t viii be seen, then,
how true was the remark of our hotel
keeper in Maui:
We're all right so long as the Japs
keep on working"
