| H. Warner did in 1.-The Ghost Breaker,
which Is making it's Washington appear
ance at the National this week, was SO
novel and exciting that 1t seemed per-
| fectly satisfactory to the audience last
| night.
THE Ghost Breaker is tense and melo-
dramatic In some parts, in others roman
tic, and Is systematically epigrammaucaa1I.
Wherever Paul Dickey and Charles w;
Goddard. the authors, have attempted
anything in either of these fields tney
have succeeded. but in the field or pure
entertainment and amusement-tne only
field In which the play makes any pre-
tense to accomplish an actual result
they succeeded doubly well.
To Mr.. Warner as the fearless ana
careless young Kentuckian, who SHOOTS,
is shot at and then walks away Whistiing.
doubtedly due. AS the versatile. COM
PLEASANT and sometimes dreamy Ameri-
can, Mr.. Warner presents at all times
finished portrayal of the leading gnost
breaker of America. Even Wnen Silent
Mr.: Warner is effective and never fails
to bring forth a laugh when he SO wishes:
The play is love drama, but 1T must
be admitted the love thread is very
small 0ne-just large enough TO orldSe
the gaps in the tortuous road OF mys-
teries and adventures over which the
ghost breaker must travel, and just
enough to give promise at the closing
curtain Of happy forever after. NO
social problems or eternal triangles twist
about the play to impede Its progress
over a unique but entertaining road.
1.-The Ghost Breaker tells the tale OF a
Kentuckian who in feud shoots fell

he breaks into the room or Spanish
princess She assists him only on his
promise to try to solve the mystery of a
haunted castle in her kingdom. No time
is lost in introducing the plot, and from
the beginning to the end, when the mys-
terry is solved and the ghosts are duly
disposed of, the play is replete with ac-
ton.
Unusual scenic opportunity has been
offered in the four acts. These are sup
plemented with two tableaus, scene on
the ocean at night and the exterior OF
the Spanish castle, both of which We're
artistic and earned the applause OF the
audience.
Mr.. Warner, of course, received first
honors of the production. Rita Stanwooo,

Gayety.

The success Of the entertainment given
by the Columbia Burlesquers at the
Gayety Theater this week Is largely due
to the work of Harry L. Cooper. who
handles most Of the comedy In way that
keeps his audience in continuous laugh
ter.
He is ably assisted by June Mills, a
coincidence. who made her first appear
ance in Washington yesterday. Miss Mills
is jolly and though a heavyweight. has
the knack Of moving about the stage
with the ease Of the most petite SOU
brette. Her. singing and dancing are Of
the cyclonic order, but every word she
utters can be distinctly understood. 9th
ers who aid In the entertainment are Abe
and Ray Leavitt, Joe Emerson. Fred
Dempsey, Harry and Lew Seymour,
Lucia Reynolds and Christine, Nichols
Miss Reynolds has good voice and sew
eral good songs In which to demonstrate

A two-act burletta entitled "a Ladies'

Columbia.

Cortland Wainwright, once a district
attorney, in the course Of his duty, prose-
cuted and sent to the electric chair the
brother of one Andrew. known to the
underworld as The Master Mind" for
which Andrew swore vengeance. In some
way Wainwright's life was saved by a
girl, very beautiful, very sweet, very
lOvable very almost everything, and
Wainwright fell in love with her, but she
got away without his finding out who she
was or where she went. This circum-
stance coming to the knowledge Of the
master mind" while he was ransackinR
the district attorneys house and papers,
was used as the basis of terrible re-
venge."
Mr.. Master Mind first found the girl,
then he had her convicted Of a theft
which she did not commit then he sent
her abroad for finishing touches; then
he brought her and the district attorney
together, first providing her with a
mother. father and brother. all of them
notorious crooks, and then. when the dis
trict attorney had married her and was
about to receive the nomination for gov

The Advantage of the Sheriff
and His Posse.

MY own opinion is that there isn't county,
IVA or a. city, In America where the civil
authorities cannot maintain order
The police in the city can be increased by
special men whenever the authorities think
necessary.
The sheriff can swear in posse, as large
as he thinks necessary.
Such extra forces drawn from the vicinity,
and from all walks of life, are apt to be
much more discreet and conservative than
military companies from other parts of the
State.
For more than thousand years, the
sheriff's posse, was the unfailng arm of the
Civil Law.
But its gone.
We no longer give the sheriff any chance
to keep order.
We no longer use the posse.
AS soon as one Of our corporations begin
to have trouble with its men, it demands the
calling out of the troops, and then the mill
tary murders begin.

Am Example OF Issuing Watered
Stock.

WHEN you state that the people Of this
country are taxed on twelve billion dol
lars Of watered stock, few understand what
you mean.
We try to explain, that the transportation
companies have issued that much stocks and
bonds achich do mot represent the Investment
Of a'ay money!; and that we are taxed, to such
an extent that these fictitious securities earn
dividends.
Salt the COWS and let them drink their fill,
before they are weighed in the market, and
you get as much for the water, as for the
beef.

1Our letLef received.
The preface to the book mentioned by you,
covers a large space and the information
which prompted it was drawn from a very
wide range of reading.
1t IS hardly too much to say that every
author or speaker brings to his work the
impressions of lifetime; and it is often
difficult to enumerate all of the sources Of any
matured conviction. However, I will try to
answer your questions frankly and fully
The first reference is, of course to the
illustrous Italian, Luigi Settermbrini, whose
name is not familiar to the American people,
but who deserves place in the Hall of Fame
with such men as Patrick Henry, Richard
Henry Lee, Algernon Sidney John Haln5,-
ton, Charles James Fox and the Marquis
Condorcet.
You will find the quotation used by me on
page 1852 of "Studies Historical and Crit
Charles Scribner's Sons in 1907
The next statement in the preface is, that
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy has been
Jesuitized. In support of this, [ beg to refer
you to the following works:
The Footprints of the Jesuits; by R. ".
Thompson.
The Doctrines of the Jesuits; by Paul
Bert.
The Roman Catholic System by Cathcart.
The Theological Works of Liguori, (who
has been canonized, and who is now a SANITY
The Jesuits; by Theodore Greisinger.
Fourteen Years Jesuit; by Count Won
Hoensbroeck
[ also call your attention to the fact that
Cardinal Merry del Val is a Jesuit, and it is
he who controls the policies of the Vatican
The next statement in the preface relates
to the influence which the priest now has
with orr Government On this r,oint T hn0,
to refer you to DR.. Josiah Strongs book,
"Our Country"
To the book known as "Pope or Pres;-
dent?" by r. L. Delisser.
"The Roman Catholic Church and its Rela-
lions to the Federal Government" by Francis
T. Morton.
In this connection permit me to suggest
that you carefully weigh the following facts
of recent date, which are not denied by any
one.
First. That no other church, save that Of
Rome, has been granted the privilege of
erecting chapel on the public property at
the West Point Military Academy
Second. That no other church has been
given millions of dollars out of the public
treasury Of the United States, and allowed
to send its agents, clad in their religious garb,
into our public schools to teach, and into
our public departments to levy contributions
upon public employees.
Third. That no other religious denomina-
ton has been allowed to erect affairs upon the
National battleships and to conduct, officially.
religious ceremonies, such as the military
field-mass, In which soldiers Sailors Supreme
Court judges, the Cabinet and the occupant
of the White House officially appear as par
Elephants.
Fourth. That the Pan-American Union,
