Poli's-"The Man of the Hour"
George H. Broadhurst's political
comedy. The Man of the Hour" will
be the attraction at Polls. this week.
The play enjoyed a wonderful road
success. following its long metropoli-
tan run. The leading figure in the play
Is Alwyn Bennett, a wealthy young So
ciety man, who finds his opportunity to
do good when he is rendered the nomi-
nation for mayor of large city. The
politicians expect him to prove a facile
tool in their hands. but when they set
in motion their graft machinery they
find that this young man has suddenly
awakened to the fact that 1t is the
peoples votes that have elected him
to an Office Of trust and that it is the
peoples rights that he must protect
The conflict between the enraged
bosses and the resolute young mayor is
one of the most engrossing chapters in
the history Of the modern stage.
A young woman who has faith in
Bennett and who spurs him on in his
fight for civic righteousness, is the
handspring of the play. 1t is she who
furnishes the inspiration for him to
continue his work.
The title role will be impersonated
by A. H. Van Buren,, with Izetta Jewel
as the heroine. Mark Kent as one of
the political bosses. and Thomas Will

The story deals with a country boy,
spurred on by the sweetheart of his boy

fascination for a chorus girl, domiciled
in the same clearinghouse as himself

THEN AND NOW

Times change and men change with
them and the mutations often come
about in a few years.
Seventeen years ago it was the
aroused and embattled farmer, says
the New Orleans Item. who sought to
storm the heights of entrenched cap
ital in order to compel by free coinage
of silver a higher range of money
prices for his products if not actual
greater purchasing power in barter for
other products Bryan was his leader,
the Democratic party the clan in which
he enlisted.
Today it is a lower range of money
prices for products of the farm which
is the aim and purpose of a large ele-
ment in America, and among the
means tanen is a readjustment of the
tariff more radical and drastic than
this country has yet seen. Bryan is
among the leaders, and the Democratic
party is the faction which operates in
governmental place to that end
In 1896 wheat and corn, cotton, wool,
sugar. rice, beef were low in value.
The farmer wept and walled, and
sought to increase the power of his
product, when turned into cash, to
meet his mortgage notes and pay his
taxes, buy his tools and foot his bills.
In 1913 the things men eat and wear
and use, that come from the soil, are
high in price-and they strive and
twist to make their services, their
labor, or their counter-products. when
turned into cash, buy more of these
necessities of life
The wheel has turned full round, and
those now on the bottom struggle once
more to gain the top.

is statement sincerely believed, his
torians to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
The king of England caused the
revolution because he taxed the
Americans so heavily. The king, in
the students mind, laid the tax and
acted in a most outrageous fashion in
general. Such a body as the English
parliament or the English theory or
representation appear to have made
no mental impression upon him.
A royal colony was always tyran-
nically governed. and was much worse
than charter or proprietary gov
eminent, the word royal evidently
striking the democratic mind as fun
damentally wrong.
Poetic justice is also ever present
as to the ultimate end of certain not
able personages. Benedict Arnold and
Aaron Burr always spend their last
days in the deepest poverty and re-
morse, while Columbus still persists
in dying in prison and in chains. JEFF
ferson is peculiarly fortunate char
acter, for the average pupil insists
that he originated democracy and
solemnIy states that we owe our gov
eminent by the people to the Sage of
Monticello. He also wrote the con-
stitution. This rather irritating false
hood is strangely common.-History

up the partially grass-grown main
street of the camp. The road she took
led toward the base of the mountain
after which the camp had been named
and winding about that, crossed the
border into the adjoining state.
As she passed around a corner out
of sight of the town she let her horse
out to full speed. Suddenly a horse
man doomed up in the twilight ahead.
He drew his animal In sharply; then
after a few minutes hard riding, he
was at the girls side. She was bare
headed and the ribbon had fallen from
her hair.

to the girl. and taking a handful OF

his lips.
1T makes no difference. Laura, what
they think he said. You know that

all that counts"
Yes, I know it is. Dick, darling. "

For a moment he did not speak.
Then:
Laura will you take a chance on
me? You know me better than they
do; better than any one else in the
world. VIII you go over the border
and marry me?"
Leaning over in his saddle he placed
his arm about her and kissed her. She
would go.
For some time all was silence Then
the mans trained ear caught the
sound of horsemen approaching from
the direction Of the town, and turning
in his saddle he could see a black NOV
ing mass of riders coming up the road.
Motioning Laura to follow, he started
his horse at a brisk walk up through
the timber. Finally they struck a
brush-grown trail leading north toward
the border.
Five minutes after they had left
the road, party of armed riders led
by Jerry Weld, came hurrying along.
The man and the girl in the timber
drew in their horses and sat in breath
less silence. The riders passed on,
and the hoofbeats died away in the
distance.
Cassidy rode close to the girl again
and kissed her. Then they started at
a jogging pace along the trail, bright
