WITHIN THE LAW
"Within the Law is tho real under

missioner George S Dougherty TO Bay
ard Neiller, author OF the tremendously
successful meodrama which comes 10
The Playhouse for tho entire week OF
March 2. and which has had the almost
Unprecedented record OF twelve
months rm in New York city. and in
One theatrc--the Eltingo. Before writ
ing this play, Nh WELLER was practi-
cally unknown. The day after its pro-
duction he received so many offers Of
contracts to write plays that he was
forced to fce out of town TO keep from
signing away enough Of his time 20
cover the remainder of his natural life.
This Is what inevitably happens TO the
dramatist who writes q big success. But
only a few playwrights achieve such a
hit as "Withn the Law during a cen-
tury If dramatic writing. Ben Hur'
and "Unclo Toms Cabin" are perhaps
tine two nearest modern instances OF hits
approaching that OF the WELLER play
both in the matter of interest created
and money earned.

Peril of Cosmetics.

There is another war disaster, but
4one we can readily endure, and that
Ia the loss OF the drug and cosmetic
imports, says the Columbus (O) Jour
nal Many Of the most important
drugs come from Europe, and the sup
ply of these will be cut down materi-
ally, while cosmetic imports will al
most disappear from the market.
There are two things that we can well
spare. We use too much drugs, and
as for the cosmetics the women are
beautiful enough without them. 1t
would doubtless be matter of public
policy if the women were prohibited
from making themselves any more
beautiful than they are. If cosmetics
helped them to do this, Of which there
is serious doubt, 1t would be well il
the tariff we're made so high as to
be prohibitory. But there will be no
need of this, since cosmetics, as rule,
make women less attractive and con-
sequently less harmful to men
Beauty ought to be a moral influence,
but that depends on the kind of per-
son he or she Ia.

April was hard blow to the Madison
saloonleepers by reason of TIE fact
that it demonstrated how strong a
sentiment there is within the city of
Madison against the existence of sa-
looms there.
The opponents of stringent excise
legislation do not seem to think there
IS any chance the county option issue
will take any prominent place before
the next legislature. It is claimed there
is very little discussion of the county
option issue in the state at this time.
and that, as matter of fact, no one
is pressing the issue with any great
amount of force. On the other hand,
the Anti-Saloon League, which is the
great moving force in favor Of county
option in the state, has been cam
paigning the state almost continuously
the last two years in an effort to create
sympathy for more stringent excise
legislation. As result, the Anti-Saloon
league leaders claim there will be con-
siderable county option sentiment in
the next legislature Whether coun-
ty option bill will be fought before the
next legislature with the same bitter
ness that battle was made over the
issue some years ago is, perhaps
doubtful although there is no question
that county option is likely to be a
strong political issue before this state
again in the near future.
There will be a host of minor bills
offered the next legislature on the ex-
else question. just what it will amount
to or how hard a fight will be made in
its favor no one can say at this time.
1t is probable, however, that the next
legislature will pass more anti-excise
legislation than has any legislature in
several years. This is admitted even
by people who are opposed to more
stringent excise legislation. The in
terest taken in excise legislation in
many parts of the state is of such a
character that it is being recognized
and this fact will probably result in
more recognition being given the ques-
tion next winter than has been given
it in several sessions past.

Vestal VIRGINS,

The vestal virgins we're priestesses,
having charge of the worship of the
Roman goddess Vesta, the goddess OF
the hearth. The temple of Vesta was
in the center Of the city, where she
was worshiped under the symbol OF
the sacred fire watched over by the
six vestal virgins. The duty Of the
virgins was to keep this fire burning
to bring water from the sacred spring
OF Egeria for the publication of the
temple, to make a sacrifice of salt
cakes, to offer daily prayers for the
well-being OF the state, and to pour
on the altar of the sacred fire hba.
lions of wine and OIL They were
chosen by lot out of 20 selected by
the high priest, when not more than
ten years Of age, and took VOW for
80 years, after which time they were
free to return to the world il they
chose. In the first ten years the
vestal virgin learned her duties, dur
ing the second she practiced them
and during the third she taught them
to the young vestals.

The wireless station at the Eiffel

It is the most powerful wireless sta
ton on the continent. The terrific

Is so distinct that those conversant
with the Morse code can read its

OF Paris without any instruments. But
there Is no powerful wireless station
In Russia, and the roundabout route
viii be necessary. The British gov
eminent is building a station more
than Ave hundred feet above sea level
in remote part of Oxfordshire, which
win have dozen masts, each as high
as st. Paul's, cathedral This station
will be able. 1t is anticipated, to get
into direct communication with Egypt
in the daytime, and possibly with India
at night, when the ether Is always a
better carrier.
