startling but it holds the interest
from the rising of the curtain to the
going down Of the same-holds it in
a tense gripping way that makes one
hold ones breath until the final de
nouement.
Mr.. Finch as Doctor Webster gave
a most finished performance and his
audience was with him so completely
that he held the sympathy and many
were disappointed that Ruth chose
the way she did Miss Vernon was
a charming Ruth and her emotional
work was very effective. She has

footlights. Mr.. Harmon as the heed

becomes q man made us alternately
Gespise and sympathize with him.
Miss Hathaway won the audience in
stantly and she and Mr.. Briggs acted
their little love story very brightly
AR Poore as the college trainer was
very funny and Miss King as Mrs.
Franklin who never could remember
anything had the audience laughing
with her in all her absent minded
ness.
Taken as a whole the company Is
the best that has appeared in South
Bend in stock in many a day and Mr..
Finch must be congratulated. IL IS
expected the matinee girls will be
out in full force today and there are
certainly a number of matinee idols
in the new company.

The submission of the information in

have been of a character calculated to
depict a rapidly recovering country, and

where children are emancipated from too

that the states where child labor still ex-

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 20.-Charles
E. Hughes. before cheering audience
that filed the big auditorium here to-
night outlined his attitude toward the
protection of American rights as fol-
lows:
II propose that we shall protect and
enforce American rights on land and
sea without fear and unf1inchingly
with respect to American lives, Amer
lean property and American commerce.
We have no unstated policies, no Sc
cret understandings, no intrigues. We
stand four squared to the world, rep
resenting the United States and its
interests alone first, last and all the
time"
Mr.. Hughes reference to American
rights was contained in a speech in
which he made reply, one by one, to
what he termed Democratic claims for
having aided business and outlining
the Republican program. In so doing,
he dealt chiefly with subjects discuss
ed in President Wilson's speech of &C.
