AMUSEMENT NOTES.
CCMPANY's WORK PLEAsEs.
Klark-Urban Co. Demonstrates It's
Merit-offering Tonight Is Girls.

The klark- rban company presented
The Gamblers last night at the Audi
.orIun. Its thrilling situations and in
7cnse heart interest pleased the audi
encc. The Gamblers is particularly well
fitted to the different members of the
klark-U rban company and was ably
read and played by them. The grasp
heir lines and have the skill to send
heir ideas into the audience Masic
'esi and Fred Sehreiher easily FREEDOM
mated; the play hinged around the
characters they played. As Darwin,
Mr.. Schneider won the sincere admira-
ion of the audience for his handling of
4 difficult part. Individually and col
iectivelv the work of this company is

ess is obviously built on merit. This
afternoon they are playing The Girl
from out Wonder, and tonight they of
fer Girls.
| Girls, or better still, The Man Haters
was the last comedy written by the late
| Clyde Fitch, who, at his death. stood
ut the head of American playwrights
| Nothing from his pen ever eelipsed the
popularity of Girls. Its tremendous run
At Daley 5 Broadway theatre in New
York is a guarantee OF its greatness
Girls is nothing if not original; it ha.
for its chief characters three girls liv
.ng in studio i'll New York. Girls
who have taken au oath to remain
! nan-haters. The advent of the right
man adds complications that are boil
,aughabIe and thrilling. Suffragettc o
anti sutrragettc, the play strikes tht
| auditor as true 10 life. Judging from
be company $ past performances thu
lay viii be given Il careful and pains
taking presentation. 1t is bright
sparkling comedy, clean in every lin
md situation.

The Rutland News points to the ice
bound condition OF the streams as an
argument against the opening of the
trout season April -. adding that fish
ermcn in all parts of the state except
Bennington aud Windham counties are
arcrse to permitting fishing before May
-. We have never yet been able to
discern the logic OF this argument Tn
favorable conditions at the opening OF
the trout season certainly DO not harm
the trout, and if the weather prevents
the wholesale slaughter of fish that
used to take place during the first few
days of the open season why ism I
early opening It good thing?

The euriousIy favorable twist towards
success Of the British government 5
home rule program, given by the recent
turn OF events, is of course due to the
fear, shared from different points OF
view. by Liberals and Unionists alike
that in pushing the controversy farther
there may be raised an issue which
would swamp not only home rule but
many other things. 1t is Il startling
danger to raise an issue of parliament
versus army. England is not a mill
tary nation in the ordinar. understand
ing OF the term. 1t supports Il great
armed equipment from necessity, no.
from love % the institution. \ clcav
age of public opinion on the issue o;
miIitarism versus parliamentary gov
crnmcnt is not greeted with pleasure
The enlargement CT the military power
IS feared. So comes truce in tn,
mcnacing situation, and the marshal
ling OF forces is less enthusiastic.

board of trade OF not.
They hope also to do something for
shippers through the proper channels
toward collective shipping and ask the
cooperation of all interested. II any
have found some commission men OF
firms who did not pay for the goods
shipped the matter should be reported
| to this committee So others will NOT
have the same experience.

WHAT BECAME OF THE INCUME
 TAX.

The government guessed very cor rectly as 10 the yield of the socalled normal income tax" But in the higher scales of payment, the results proved disappointing. About $12,000,- 900 was expected on incomes ranging from $2O,00O to $50,000. But the government actually got less than $3,- 900, ,000 from this class.
 Have our millionaires lodged the tax? It would hardly seem safe game, considering the indifference that internal revenue collectors show to local sentiment.
 There seems to be one very wide loop-hole. And that is in the general understanding, as the law is inter- preted, that losses in investments can be deducted from income. There was, during the last calendar year, a large shrinkage in the stock market A great many millionaires sold stocks at loss. These shink- ages were probably deducted from in come, so that nothing taxable was

authorized toting away of supplies via the kitchen door and in a week you'll flush enough cotton pickers to get it all to the gins before another rain, however unsatisfactory the price,"
 Of course the Georgia sheriff will never be able to enforce his order that all cooks must show that they are authorized to have food in their pcssesslcn away from the kitchens of their employers, but he is headed in the right direction. It is doubtless a fact that too many men and boy1 are maintained in idleness by food "toted home" from an employers table. It has been said Of certain class of cooks that "they waste more than they cook and tote home more than they waste''
 If the Georgia sheriff has found the remedy, he is a wise sheriff and if he will spread the news he will make himself popular with a large class of people in the South.

 R. D. Bowen of Paris, Texas, chair man of the committee on greater eo1- sumption of cotton of tine Southern Cotton association, has started cam raign to induce mayors of southern cities to require that all supplies pur- chased for cities must be packed in cotton sacks, bags or wrappings and bound with cotton twine.
 Mayor Kline and Runnells of Tex arkana were the first two executives to issue orders to this effect, and since then Mayor Eastman of Shreve- port and Mayor Behrman, of New Orleans have taken similar action. A campaign of this kind carried out in detail and extending from the ulti- mate consumer to the retailer, to the wholesaler, to the jobber, to the manufacturer and back to the pro ducer of the raw material, is He'd with great possibilities. It involves To revolutionary legislation and it appeals only to plain business com mon sense.

 ROSPERITY
RAISING THE LEVEL.

No one can watch the develop ment of our current journalism says writer in the October Yale Review, without becoming aware that the sense of responsibility to the public is raising the whole level of the American press"
 Tine author is former editor of 9 magazine of the -highbrow type, and his estimate may be taken as a compliment by newspaper workers, says the Fort Smith American in com- menting on the above and the diff culties besetting the newspaper makers. There nas not been great sympathy in the past between the two clements of writers. The man 'who works leisurely, who is able to re- write and edit and polish, is inclined, to growl a great deal at the chap whe rushes at his typewriter with hardl, enough time to get anything turned; out before press time, who must see the city editor tear his copy, few lines at time, from the machine, that it may go to the composing room in short takes" His style may be lumpy, his diction not all that it should be, his sentences sometimes involved, grammar seem bad because he doesn't remember, when he gers his verb, whether he started off with singular or a plural subject. Not all newspaper work is done after this fashion, and much of tho material is edited carefully, which means that it is "cut to the bone," but at best it is a case of mad haste.
 The lack of literary sympathy lead; many critic to complain that the newspaper does not represent tho spirit of the times, that it is not actuated by the purest motives al ways, that its policy is not what il should be, and that it's individual newswriters are biased and ferocious.
 The making and managing of a newspaper is a serious process. It must be subjected to considerations which the private individual thinks should not enter into the calculations of the editor, whereas if such person would be honest enough to size up his own policies honestly, he would see that his conduct and utterances are modified by pretty much the same conditions as apply to the newspaper.
 People are beginning to find that they must change their point of view, 9 process quite as important as the altering of the policy of the news.

left. Also, if in making returns, peo lple have been permitted to value | their present holdings at the market quotations prevailing last December thousands of ,persons of great weaItii
 would be able to say that they had
 no taxable income.
 This is of course a perfectly fair way of making these returns, provid- cd that when the market rises, the advance in values is treated in just the same way. It is. quite possible that the taxpayer will not then be so ready to base his return on market prices.
 The treatment of such shrinkages $ and accretions of value is very diff ficult. 1t would seem at first sight that such changes in value should be calculated only when an actual safe of stock has been made Yet that would bear hard on people who have permanently invested in certain 5ecu- rites, and whose capital has shrunk for good, as the result of the fall in values.

WORLDS SERIES AND THE WAR.

When two groups of men of nine men each took to a Well-lawned field with diamond marked off in the center, an event began which in its duration rivalled in interest the bloody deeds of Europe. In fact, the old saw, peace has it's victories no less renowned than war;" here has a peculiar applications because when the thought of goodly part of the American nation tmepcrarily is turned upon the prowness of eigh- teen men it is wonderful tribute to the power of the national game.
 For it is certain that stories of .lhe slaughter of thousands, the wrecking of homes, tine destruction of fair fields and all the other hor- rible concomitants of warfare, at most shared in interest the doings of the world series crews. Why?
 While hearts are wrenched with sorrow and pain, while men in the prime of life are sacrificed on the bloody alars of "righteaus" war, he nation turns from the contempla- tion of a worlds disaster to frenzied Observation of worlds series. The one a gahne of Mars, the other game of Earth.
 A sage American once said that it is impossible to interest the American Public in any one thing, no matter how big, all the time. He was a famous newspaper published, and his foSmula for keeping his readers inter ested was to print story about "scmething brand new" in every is- sue. and never to dwell long on the old subjects. When the great Euro rean war broke out and for weeks the papers printed little if anything else, he was one of tine first to give more attention to other matters. Gradually local news got more space in his paper, and now, as he said the other day, it is nearly "back to normal"
 His ideas suggest the answer to why the worlds series nearly sup planted the European war in interest Probably the American public mad enough of war and all it's horrible details for period long enough to work up some excitement over the baseball combatnats: and probably the change did them good.

Acts of the Apostles.
CHAPTER G..

e CHAPTER b. And in those days, when the num- Der of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Gre clans against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
 2. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
 3. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest re- port, full of the Holy Ghost and wis dom, whom we may appoint over this business.
 4. But we will give ourselves con- tinually to prayer, and to the minis try of the word.
 3. And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philips, and Prcchorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a prose iyte Of Antioch:
 6. Whom they set before the apes ties: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

 It is doubtful! if any man connectel with the making of a newspaper ev+. produced a paper which satisfied him and it is certain that nobody ever made one which would suit the public in every particular. It can be readily admitted by the newspaper man that Improvement is possible, and it is en- ocuraging 10 find critics beginning to believe that newspapers errors are not without extenuation, and that con- stant effcrss tc raise the general level of journalism is beginning to show reault..
