GREAT PUBLIC QUESTIONS
TO BE PRESENTED IN PLAY
IN MUNICIPAL A

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Kath-
crime Grey, one OF the most In
teIligent as well as one of the
cleverest actresses on the Ameri-
can stage, is firm tn the belief
that the theater has become a
great power as an educational
medium, and is steadily advancing
along that line.
"Our playwrights," declares
Miss Grey, contain a larger per-
centage than ever before of men
and women who are writing with
some purpose other than the maxi
ing of money.
THE great upheaval in politics
that inaugurated the nationwide
campaign against graft began
with the presentation of "The
Lion and the Mouse" "The Third
Degree" inveighed against the
brutal inquisitorial methods OF
the police, and with success. "The
Man of the Hour drew attention
to the corrupt administration OF
public business in our cities.
Damaged Goods" is telling peo-
Pile things they need to know, and
might otherwise lever have
brought home to them concerning
the hideous perils of impurity and
a low standard of morals.
THE play of the moment today
is the play that deals with some
vital subject in which the public
Is interested, or should be inter
-ested. We are approaching a
time when all great public ques-
lions will be presented in play
form, in municipally-owned thea
ters, to bring them most clearly
and most forcibly to the attention
of the people,"

cleanest place in the state and tina.
there is very little danger Of any bad
taken by property owners and by citi-
zens In general.
In speaking Of the various fire de-
partments in the state, MI. Runge
says that he Is very much pleased with
them. The majority Of places have
good equipment and 1t would be very
hard for any really big fires to get
started. There are a few small towns,
however, that are in a bad way so far
oS IRE projection goes. IN the places
where there are a very few brick
buildings the insurance rate Is high.
The owners Of property are taking
care to prevent fires than ever
before as a result.
Marshal Runge expects to 20 to New

annual gathering Of fire chiefs which
will be held there. He will leave

CIRCUS day IS
DRAWING NEAR
Once More The Old Time
Tented Shows will Amuse
The Crowds Here.

The Barnum and Bailey greatest
show On earth will visit East Grand
Forks on Jul" 26.
For fifty-five years this circus has
been the leader among all amusement
affairs. 1t is the pioneer of big I'M
dertakings. With very few exceptions
great arenic acts originate in Europe.
They are Invariably introduced in
America by Barnum and Bailey, who
maintain agencies in every large city
in Europe and Asia for the purpose
of keeping in touch with the latest
achievements.
The Barnum and Bailey manage
ment has either originated all great
attractions or has searched them out
from distant lands. Other shows have
copied. but with Indifferent success.
This circus has the advantage of a
prestige and strong clientele in every
and on earth. 1t has offices in Lon
don. Liverpool, Melbourne. Paris. Ber-
lin. st. Petersburg, Vienna, Hamburg.
Constantinople, Calcutta. Hongkong.
Cape Town and Buenos Ayres. Its
agents are always looking for novel;
ties. p. T. Barnum was the founder.
He was the father of the modern cir
Gus. His successor. James A. Bailey,
was a second Barnum. He perpetual
ed the Barnum policy. He is the only
Indl on eartn VINO COulQ. For many
years these two great names have
been ,lisped by the children. They
still live in the memory Of men old
and gray.
Today the circus has reached a size
that Is giving the railroads much con-
Germ. If it were any larger they could
not handle 1t. 1t has five long trains.
1t enrolls 1900 people, 1880 of whom
travel directly with the show. 1t has
700 horses. In its menagerie are for
ty elephants and 1900 other ami
mails. All Of the equipment through
out the many departments. of the cir
u is new. 1t cost its owners $780,
600. The parade alone cost $1,000
900. The menagerie is worth another
like sum. The best artists of Italy
and France designed the new show.
1t was built by the most skillful of
European artisans and master me-
chanics in the workshops of the cir
Gus at Stoke-on-Trent, England.
The program is opened with the
great spectacle of cleopatra" with
a Isl of 1880 characters, a grand
opera chorus of 800 voices, a ballet
of $50 dancing girls, an orchestra of
100 soloists, $50 horses, five herds of

The plan of travelling streets was
tried in Crookston and it has worked
very good there.
Cost Is Not Great.
One Of the best features Of the
gravel proposition is that it Is very in
expensive. 1t would cost only 50 a
front foot, thus the assessment on a
50-foot lot would only be 500. The
plan is to have this assessment spread
over ten years and therefore 1t would
not work any hardship or the resi-
dents n the results would be eX-
tremely satisfactory. Instead of hav-
ing dustry roads in dry weather and
thick, heavy mud after a rain. the
streets thus improved will be in first
class condition and teams or autos can
be driven without any trouble the
same as on. the paving.
Permanent Improvement.
In addition to filling in the streets
with gravel it, is also the intention of
those pushing the proposition to have
the berms and curbs fixed up the same
as in the present paved districts. The
berms will be made wider and seeds
will be planted and all possible i'm
made.

JUDGE BRUCE Was SPEAKER
Made an Eloquent Address at Meeting
of IN Wisconsin Bar Association
Says Sentiment is Ruler.

The Daily Wausau Record Herald
in its last issue prints in full the ad-
dress made there at the meeting of the
Wisconsin Bar association by Judge
Andrew A. Bruce, of the North Dako-
ia supreme court, and a former resi-
dent of his city.
Judge Bruce said that the fate Of
democracy is in the hands of the law
yers of the country, and they must re-
alize that fact and respond to the call
of the country. He, better than any
other man. understands the principles
of government, and he should be a
leader in the dissemination Of knowl-
edge in the advanced methods Of gov
eminent so that all nay benefit.
He said that laws and statutes will
never right the wrongs that are exist
ant in the country. Those wrongs
must be overcome by public sentiment.
That is the crux Of the problem in the
final analysis of the matter. The
courts and the law are a final resort.
When the people want a thing they
will get it if they try hard enough. If
the people want freedom from sever
al of the encumbrances that are
weighing them down all they have to
do is to throw the yoke off. Public
sentiment decides everything in the
end. 1t finds it's rue and best course
when it travels in the regular chan
nels of the law.

The Alaska daily empire., 1913-09-29

WY D. ROYCE. the Chicago pub
 w. fisher, contends that it is
 unfair to expect the people of the States to contribute $5O,OOO,OOO for railroad and highway construction in Alaska, and he puts the statement in such a way as to permit the infer ence that such an expenditure would be a donation to the flew thousands of people" that live in this Territory The situation could not be stated more unfairly. The fact is that more than gg per cent. of the land of Alaska be- longs to the federal government. The building of roads in Alaska either railroads or public highways would add more to the value of the lands that belong to the people of the States scores of times over than it would to the property that belong to the few thousands of people referred to. The wagon road construction that is pro ceeding at such rapid rate in the States is being borne by the taxpayers of the separate States. it is true, but there the taxpayers own most of the prop erty. The property owners of CalifOr- mia have in recent years expended $15.- OOo. 900 on system of highways as a matter of investment. They spent the money because it has increased the value of their property more than enough to make it up. They have found road-building to be profitable to them
 As stated, in Alaska more than 99 per cent. of the land belongs to the Federal government The people of the Territory. through the Alaska fund. are contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars in road construc- ton. though they own less than one per cent. of the land This expendit- ure increases the worth and availabil- ity of land that belongs to the gov ernment more than 99 times in ex cess of the benefit that accrues to the privately owned lands.
 Under the circumstances the expen- diture of $4O.OOO.OOO in railroad con- struction and $10.OOO.OOO in wagon roads by the national government would be less than the governments fair contribution to road development in this Territory.

 --O-O-O- A SUGGESTION WORTH REMEM-
 BERING.
.HE suggestion of the Department
 of Commerce, speaking through
70

THE suggestion of the Department
 | of Commerce, speaking through
 Assistant Secretary E. F. Sweet in a letter to Delegate Wickersham. that prudent navigation demands that passenger ships on the Alaska run should travers only those waters that are known to be safe and that public opinion should hold the owners, man. agers and masters of such craft to that kind of navigation is one that should not be overlooked, notwithstanding that the season of heavy passenger traffic is nearing it's end. There were four wrecks in Alaska waters this year, and lives were sacrificed in two of them. If the exercise of public opinion is necessary to prevent a rep itition of this disastrous year let us exercise it actively.
 It is bad enough for the crews and cargOes of freight-carrying and other work craft to be placed in jeopardy without unnecessarily imperiling pas sengers who place their lives in the care of those companies engaged in trafficking in travellers.
