THE LAND OF DOLLS
Ably Put on at Opera House Please
Audience. Much Credit Due
Those Taking Part.

. The Land Of Dolls given by the
little tots under the auspices of the
Mothers. club on Tuesday night at
the opera house was one of the best
entertainments seen here in a long
time. It was clever little operetta
in three acts, which, due to the good
work of the youngsters, and to the
excellent training given them, held
the audience in rapt attention from
the welcome chorus" through to the
beautiful tableau at the end.
Much credit should be given Miss
Florence Bradshaw and Mrs. S. w.
Bailey, who gave unspairingly of
their time and energy in making the
operetta such success.
Ella Brodie and Kathleen Flanagan
most ably handled the parts of the
two little school girls, who wished
to be dolls. Their singing was indeed
good, and their stage bearing was
fine. Kathleen was a little wonder
in seeing that all should go through
without a hitch. Time and again she
came to the relief when someone
missed their cue or had forgotten
their part. The parts of the Fairy
Queen, Mabel Carroll, and Fifne,
Mabel Person, were handled with
grace and dignity. Darius Schroe-
der was the big laugh of the evening.
His singing was real good, and his
acting and contortions were very
comical. Houp' La, the loud and
boistrous clown, was we'll done by
Alfred Shaw. Arthur Baker as
Judge, passed sentence in serious
and solemn manner. The part of Fat
Sing, the Chinese cook, was cutely
acted by little Jack Cooper, who
captivated the audience from the
start. Captain Stiffin, the officer
commanding the troup Of Doll Land
was handled in a military manner by
Ray Reichert. Babette, the attend
ant to Fifne, was excellently taken
by little Elizabeth Everett. She was
everything for an attendant that any
queen might wish for, and her "Youl
Majesty" was never forgotten. Little
Margarite Mccarthy, the talking
doll, was very cute with her "Mamma
Papa" which delighted all.
The fairies, a host of little tots
were sweet and cunning as they
lowered about with little wings on
their backs, and their little hands

made a hit. They were very stiff anc

soldiers, all in little brown suits

There were three publishers with
the Simpson boosters in the country
north two weeks ago, in addition to
those from Dickinson, and following
are given short extracts Of their ac-
count of the trip:
New England Herald:-In every
town we found Simpson boosters and
made more boosters all along the
iway. When the people saw thirty
men who had known Mr.. Simpson
from five to twenty-four years out in
the interest Of his candidacy, paying
their own expenses and leaving their
business for week, they could not
help being impressed. No other can
didate ever had such an endorsement
from his home people and the result
of the trip will be clearly shown when
the votes are counted. ..*
The Taylor Reporter:-Mr. Simp-
son viii again be first choice of the
people by sweeping majority.

people want Simpson. He has been
their choice in the past and was

pense and time. . s.,.zz: a=. &
Belfeld Times:-The old saying
that news travels like wildfre" was
proven on this trip, for no sooner
would we leave one town and arrive
at the next when the band would be
playing and everyone shouting for
Simpson. Many times we heard old
and young men remark: "Last time
we voted for Norton, but it's for
Simpson this time; for man who is
thought SO much of at home as Mr..
Simpson is, is worthy Of any mans
vote" And SO we travelled along
through Arnegard, Alexander, Willis
ton, Ray, Ross, Stanley, Minot, etc,
returning westward via Bismarck.
Although the trip was one Of great
enjoyment, there were several things
that happened to danpen our pleas

Esings from above" ." The greatest

IT WAS 4 i CLOSE GAME
Dickinson Took the Only Score
Made at Richardton. Bismarck
Comes. Here on Sunday.

One of the best games of the sea-
son was played at Richardton Sum
day when the Dickinson "Whites" de-.
feated Richardton by score Of to
o.. 1t was game filled with thrill
ling catches and fast plays. And
despite the chilly afternoon a mighty
snappy game was pulled off.
The game was won in the first
inning, when the one tally was
brought in by Robinson. Several
times each side had men on bases
but the pitchers would tighten up
and the side would retire with out
any damage having been done. .
The Dickinson boys went to bat
bat first. Goodrich, the first man up,
famed. Cullen came up and drove a
clean hit through third base, before
Fisher: knew what had happened.
Robinson, the next up, lined out an
other. Cullen tried to score on this
but was caught out at home, the de-
cision being Of the close order.
Kroneshnable then drove out another
one which brought in Robinson with
the lone tally which won the game.
Me- Cutchan's out then finished the
inning. In the Richardton half Fisher
and II. Pippin both went out. Rob-
ertson reached first safely. O. Pip
pin then made a single but both he
and Robertson died on bases as
Boyce, the next batter, famed.
Both teams settled down and
played air tight ball for the rest of
the game. Both Robertson and
Gardner worked well in pinches.
Both were touched frequently, but
good support saved them from Civ
ing several hits. AS it was only
eleven hits were made in all, which
is good considering the heavy condi-
ton of the ground. Dickinson was
able to land six Of the eleven. Eight
errors were made by both teams.
"Red" Cullen had three chalked up
against him while Kreneshnable had
two. It was very slippery around
third, and "Red" was lucky to get
off with only three. Kronie stepped
in a hole just as he was about to
make; a catch. He not only lost the
ball but his. balance and smile too.
Fisher, II. Pippin and Christen were
the victims of error for the Rich
ardton team, each making one apiece.
Several times it looked as if Rich
ardton would not only tie the game
but would forge ahead. But when
they had base full their heavy hit
tiers could not drive the necessary
swat. More Of the Richardton men
were on bases, only to die there with
a hopeless grin.

CoMMERCIaLIzING WASHINGTON.

Public sentiment should forbid the CONNER
mercalzation of the Houdon statue in the
rotunda of the capitol. The Idea Of selling the
right to make casts OF the statue To manu-
featuring company and allowing them to sell
such casts is repugnant to virginians who look
upon the statue with something more than
artistic appreciation.
As a work OF art the statue is priceless 1t is
the masterpiece of a great artist II stands In
the place most thoroughly suited to It, where
every Virginian may 1t and gain inspiration
from both the art and the representation of a
great virginan-
But 20 vtrginians the Houdon statue means
more than an artistic masterpiece II represents
the appreciation of virgtnian. 1t expresses the
public when friendship meant the very life of
that republic: II marks the progress which has
been made sincs the great man started the
struggling republic on its way to greatness.
No amount Of money gained from the sale of
casts of the Houdon statue would repay for the
cheapening Of the statue and the commerecializa-
lion Of sentiment Such things are above price
and beyond value. Although the country would
hardly be flooded with cheap casts it Is certain
that the manufacturing company would make the
casts cheaply as they could and Houdon S
Washington would become as cheapened and as
common as Barye's lion.
Commercialism and sentiment make poor bed
fellows and when Virginians sell that which they
revere most they will have gotten the worst end
of the bargain Virginia has many ways of gain
ing revenue and Is not badly enough In need of
funds to change sentiment for commerce

CURRENT COMMENT
Why Should There Be War?

There have been urgent demands that the
United States go with Mexico. These
demands have not come from the masses of the
people, who have little to do with bringing on
the wars but who relied on to give their
Hives and property to carry the wars but the
stirring appeals for arousing that patriotic feel
ing which inoites people to bloody conflict,
have been made by investors in Mexican mines
and other properties in that country.
If greed could have had its way would
have been involved in bloody conflict with a
neighboring country which has a population of
15, 100000 people. There has been good
