''MARRIED FOR MONEY
Good Home Talent Play Witnessed
In This City.

vi.
Married for Money" the home
talent play at the Opera House on
last Thursday night, was by far the
best local show that was ever at
tempted here. Careful training was
shown, and to one not acquainted
with the players it would have been
hard to convince them they were
amateurs, as each one did his or her
part SO perfectly. The affair was un-
der the personal direction of Mr.. and
Mrs. v. S. Murphy and for the bene-
fit Of Circle No. of the M. E.
Church of which Mrs. John Elan is
captain and Mrs. Snow Andrews an
active member, it being thru the
earnest work of these two ladies,
coupled with the experience and
knowledge Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy
have of the business, that made it
grand success, both financially and
artistically. The ladies are to be
congratulated on securing the SER
vices of such capable people as Mr..
and Mrs. Murphy, as ever gesture and
line delivered on the stage showed
the vast audience that these clever
people are past masters in the art
of staging and directing. The play
was in three funny acts, being in
terspersed with just about as nifty
bunch of songs and steps by the big
beauty chorus as has been our pleas
ure to see in many a moon. The
leading parts were in the hands of
Miss Ruby Mays and Mr.. Murphy,
who both handled their parts in a
pleasing manner, Miss Mays show
ing careful traing and a stage pres
ence that is a revelation to look up
on, therefore making an instan-
taneous hit with her auditors, while
Mr.. Murphy played like veteran,
keeping the audience in good cheer
turnout the evening. Miss Elsie
Brice portrayed the part of an old
maid, which was one of the most
difficult parts of the play to handle,
but she played it in way that many
of her hearers thought she was a
professional. Miss Dot Beck had
the part of the maid, and if the di-
rectors would have looked far and
wide they could not have found one
to do that part as well as Miss Beck
did. w. D. Walker seemed to enter
into his part with determination
to have the audience laughing at
his antics and he wasn't disappOint-
ed, for he certainly did have them
laughing-fast and furious. Mr..
Dickerson Williams certainly does
know how to play a henpecked hus-
band, and if there were any hen
pecked men in the audience we are
sure they were outclassed by Dick
erson's acting. Mr.. Fred Mailing
handled the part of father" in a
way that would make many "Thes-
plan" sit up and take notice. Mr..
Fred Maveety had small part but
got away with it in great shape. |
But oh, that chorus. 1t was un-
the classiest thing that
we ever saw in local way, as there |

Reports of President McLennan and
Secretary Hickey Ciuen Convention

Jail in Trinidad. / will not say poor
John lawson" because he is rich in the
love of nll his friends and in the rever-
ence and respect of that humanity which
he has served and Is serving so well.
But will say "poor Trinidad town
disgraced by the wanton acts of malicious
capital, committed within her limits, but
never has she been more dishonored than
in the jailing of honest, upright and
kindly John lawson
But in this one instance, at least,
capital overreached itself. Either it
chose a man too noble and respected or
else it no longer retains its old strength
for evil.
John Lawson went to Jail, it Is true,
but the verdict was laughed down, cried
down, hooted down. The people of the
country know it will not stand. The
very court and jury which wrote the
verdict know it will not stand.
We know, and the people know, that
the higher courts will give John lawson
and to the great movement of which
he is such an important and integral
part-the justice which should have been
granted in the lower tribunals.
The Union Label
So much has been said in regard to
that can be added in the way Of argu-
ment as to why the workers should pat
ronize the label and the good effect that
a judicious use of our purchasing power
will have on the general movement
Whatever recommendation have been
made. however, will bear constant reit-
Grafton, because of the efforts that are
being made to discredit manufacturers
who place it on their goods.
II might be said that some trade
unionists do not take the proper inter
est in the label, because the product of
their own labor does not and cannot
bear it, but we should bear in mind that
every assistance given TO the label trades
is added strength to the labor movement
as whole. and that when we patronize
the label we are helping our fellow
workers in other crafts TO better their
conditions.
Fraternal Delegates.
In closing this report, do not desire
TO burden this convention with many
specific recommendations, but would
urge that steps be taken to inaugurate
a campaign of organization thruout the
state, as the indications are that such a
campaign would meet with considerable
success at this time.
I Wouid also suggest thnt We get INTO
closer relations with the State Fedora
tion OF Wyoming. our ncighboring state,
send fraternal delegate to their con-
vention and invite them to send one to
our convention.
We should also invite the railroad
brotherhoods and the farmers organiza-
tions to meet with us, as a closer asso-
citation and exchange of ideas with those
ORGANIZATIONS would be Of great benefit
to all concerned.
The industrial commission and the
compensation laws should be examined
carefully and amendments tending to i'm
prove those laws introduced.

A Typical Fool
By Joseph Mcdonald, with apologies to
Kipling.

Bv Joseph Mcdonald, with apologies to
Kipling.
A fool there was who went to war
las fools are wont to dol,
To kill some one he never saw,
For kaisers and kings whose will is law,
To freeze and starve and sleep on straw
(As fools are wont to do).
Oh! the lives we take and the sorrow we
make,
And the orphans cry in the land,
Charge up to the devils who started the
strife,
We hope they will have to account for
each life,
And be made to understand.
A fool there was and his strength he
spent
las fools are wont to do),
He shot to kill with good intent
tHe didn't know what the warfare
meant).
But rulers must follow their selfish bent
(As rulers are wont to do).
Oh. the blood we spilled and the men we
killed
Were Just what the rulers planned,
We did the killing but never knew why; /;
And now VIC know We never knew why
tAnd did not understand). ar
The fool was cut thru his foolish hide
(As fools are wont to bel.
When he found the rulers had cast him
aside.
With an iron cross to swell his pride.
So part of him lived, but most OF him
died.
AS fools are wont to do).
And it isn't the cross and it isn't the loss
That stings like a white hot brand,
'Tis coming to know that he acted the
fool,
And did not understand.
