The Great Divide.

The manager of the Lyric Theatre
announces 1.-The Great Divide' as
the attraction on Monday Jan. 20,
Henry Vaughn Moody, the author of
this, masterful piece of playwriting,
has assembled characters in this great
American play totally unlike those
portrayed in trashy offerings usually
depicted in Cheap Dramatic Sensation.
A play of deep and vital passions
written with rare naturalism and
beautifully acted. 1.-THE Great Divide
sets a new mark in American drama.
In no story of Western American
life have we come in touch with
characters so strangely contrasted In
nature as those of Stephen Grant and
Ruth Jordan the central figures of
the play. This man and woman are
strangely brought together; the man
untrammeled in mind and action, the
oma in whose life and habits are
ingrained the traditions and conven.
tionalities OF a long line of Puritan
ancestors. Strange as has been their
wooing, stranger still is their life to-
gether-their separation and their
final reconciliation. In the unfolding
of this intensely interesting story, It's
three acts are crowded with interest,
charged with passion and filed with
action. The big second act will be
familiar to every one with a know
ledge Of the cordilleras a plateau on
the roof of the world" from which
summit Is seen the vast expanse OF
mountainous country, It's valleys and
foot hills winding their way to the
top Of the great divide truly named
one Of the seven wonders of the world.
Mr.. c. S. Primrose, the producer, has
secured a complete scenic production.

Kindling.

Rev. James Robert Smith, pastor
OF the Congregational Church Of
Quincy, and one Of the leading clergy
men Of Illinois, recently made the
play "KtndIing" the subject of his
Sunday morning ermon He select
ed as his text Hosea 40 "My people
are destroyed for the lack of know
ledge" In the course of his address
DR.. Smith said:
II do not often attend the theatre,
principally because I cannot afford it
financially, and also because there Is
much. presented there which is not
worth ones time and money. But I
went to hear ''Kindling" because I
have always been keenly interested in
the problems discussed and presented
in that way. l was not disappointed
but on the contrary so interested and
moved that ! felt 1t worth while to
speak upon the theme"
The minister then relates the story
Of the play and continues:
"The question has been raised as to
the propriety of presenting such a
problem as this, with it's intimate
discussions Of maternity, in a play
before a mixed audience, many of
whom are young people and have as
yet thought little Of such questions.
But this, in my Judgment, is the very
reason 1t should be done. Our mis-
take lies precisely In the fact that we
are raising up generation after
another, who, like Mrs. Burke-Smtth
In the play, do not know of these
problems which lie at the base Of the
frightful unrest and turmoil among
what we call the lower classes of so
ciety. The prophet was right when
he said my people are destroyed for
lack OF knowledge" A high school
girl In discussing the play with me
said, Il did not suppose that such
people cared In that way so much
about their children being born under
such conditions" There was not a
suggestion that she thought anything
improper had been presented before
US, and indeed there had not been.
Be it remembered there was not a
thing presented in this play which
could by any stretch of the imagina-
tion, be classed as innocent. The
Only question is as to the propriety Of
discussing in so plain and bald a
fashion the actual facts Of life con-
corning the conditions which surround
the birth OF children. Our mistake
has been In making a vague mystery
of all this and assuring that it must
not be discussed freely, openly and
frankly with all classes Of people. old
and young. We are entering upon a
new day wherein these questions
must and shall be discussed In exactly
this public fashion In the drama, the
church, the home and the school.
This splendid play, "Kindling" will
be presented here In the e future.

The Electric Lights--Sooner

G. NJ. Anderson attended a meet

Canton last evening. The company
are getting in better financial condi-
tiOn all the time and the earnings Of
the irst three months at the Canton
plant were very satisfactory. 1t was
voted to put In a new Corliss engine
At the plant which will not only In
crease the capacity but will effect q

company are very anxious to complete
the line to lnwood and will do 81 just
as soon as the money is available. A
good deal Of the stock subscriptions
of the company were settled by note
and these are coming due now and
are being paid up SO that after awhile
the mean to complete the line will
be available but II the people here
would subscribe Two thousand dolla rs
more 10 stock to be paid as sOOn as
the line was built and in working or
der the work Of putting 1t over would
begin 1t once. The coming Of the line
does not hinge on this additional
stock subscription but the time OF the
coming could thus be fastened. The

credit to it's projectors. Beginning
with an Introductory by His Grace,

teemed throughout with able and
timely articles upon subjects of pres

choice and attractive display of ad-
vertising was also contained therein
and geographically every page was
marked with taste and neatness. From
newspaper standpoint it was one
Of the best anniversary numbers that

After one of the most extensive in
vestigations ever made into the vice
problem in New York city and many
other cities, the Bureau of Social Ivy
giene, established by John d. Rookie
Teller, Jr., has arrived at the conclu-
sion that greed is the foundation of
vice. The amount of wealth involved
in the traffic each year, this report
states, is astoundingly momentous
The blame for this is too often attrib-
utcd to the weakness of woman, but
Heaven knows that man is the prime
mover. The failure of the laws to
provide a punishment Tor men who
persist in this kind OF traffic COM
mensurate with the magnitude of the
crime is one of the chief reasons why
vice flourishes in this country Men
who persist in selling women into this
most horrible OF all types of slavery
should be hunted down like lnurderers
and. on conviction, placed where they
will not have an opportunity to re-
peat their offences.

THE RoApHousE AND VICE.

Much is heard every year of the
evils of the roadhouses in the dis
tricts surrounding Minneapolis. That
they are, in the majority of cases,
nothing more nor less than fortresses
where vice holds sway, is generally
conceded During the summer sea-
son they are at their worst. They
are sought out by that class of refined
vicious people, if the apparent para
dox may be used, who do not want
their cultured friends to know of
their llaunts
An application for a license to es-
tablish new roadhouse in the AIedi-
cine Lake district was this week re-
fused by the board of county COM
missioners. The refusal merits the
strongest support of public sentiment
There is no more reason why road
house should be established in this
district than there is for the licensing
of an open resort. 1t would only he
an incentive for drunken brawls and
the crimes attendant on them.
At best the parks in our cities are
not free from crime. A local attorney
in addressing & meeting of ministers
not long since said he knew Of no
better comparison for hell than to say
that it is like the parks in American
cities. He may have overdrawn the
comparison. The parks are fitted by
nature and the ingenuity of man to
be like paradise. But crimes are
committed in spite OF all that can
be done to keep them pleasant
places where tired people may spend
q day Of leisure profltably. If they
are not kept so it is not entirely due
to the laXness of those in charge of
them. 1t is due more often to the
failure of the people to exert their
influence to have them respectable.
People who know and think TOO often
fail to act
| In disposing of the roadhouse ques.
ton the people should assert their
feelings in the matter. And not only
in the roadhouse question should this
| be done. but in the management OF
every enterprise that concerns the
public welfare.

The recall of judicial decisions was
scored by Chief Justice Frank K. Dunn
