A DOLL HOUSE

In "A Dolls House to be given ON
Feb. 20 at the Y. NJ. C. A. by MINNIE.
Harriet Labadie, Ibsen has given us
play of absorbing interest. In the
story of Nora Helmer we are shown
the evolution of an apparently irres-
pcnsible butterfly and the gradual
awakening of woman to state of
moral consciousness in which all her
latent possibilities are discovered. 1t
is interesting to note that the very
first presentation of this play in Amer
lea was given in Louisville, Kentucky,
by Nine. Modesjka before it had gone
beyond the limits of Scandinavian, but
1t was not until the production at the
Novelty Theatre, London, England, that
Ibsen became known to the English
speaking people and made his great
stride towards world renown. After
this it was later produced in New York
City and soon spread to other Ameri-
can cities. Since then it has been fire.
quently revived and few heroines in
modern drama have been played by so
so many actresses of the first rank as
the character of Nora Helmer. In fact
there is probably no country in the
world, possessing a theatre on the
European model, in which "A Dolls
House" has not been more or less fire.

ECONOMIC PRESSURE
BECAUSE OFsLYNCHING

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 26.-Lynchings
in Georgia have recently assumed a
serious economic significance, and
aside from moral questions involved
are beginning to hurt the state in a
purely material way.
A certain coterie of big northern and
eastern papers have begun to ."play
up" lynchings in Georgia in way out
of proportion to their intrinsic news
value, and accompanying their publ
cation with editorial remarks SC
harsh that their motives are begin
ming to be suspected. 1t is alleged
that the real actuating cause with
many of these papers is not the desire
to deplore lawlessness but the deliver
ate attempt to influence capital and
business to keep out of the South.
Every time man is lynched in
Georgia these papers, nearly all OF
them antagonistic to the interests OF
the South since abolitionist days, make
the lynchings the text for editorials
describing Georgia as sort of minia-
ture Mexico, where neither life nor
money or investment or property is
held sacred.
The lynching of Jesse McCorkle at
Gainesville only yesterday morning
has already been played up in that
way. They are not asleep on the job
They get it by wire and it comes back
here on the next train from the north
Their activity has about reached the
point that whenever Georgian helps
lynch a negro, no matter what he
provocation, he also helps lynch the
business interests OF his state.

Court Throws Out Efforts
For 7. & P. ReceiOership

The original purpose was line
across the southwest to the Pacific at
San Diego, California, the road receiv-
ing a federal charter for this object,
under the name Texas Pacific Rail
Eoad company. The following year the
name was changed to The Texas and
tactic Railway company. Thomas A
Scott and associates, nearly all of
whom were in Philadelphia, were the
original promoters. The new line ac-
CURED the rights of the Memphis, Ell
Paso and Pacific Railroad company,
and of the Southern Transcontinental
Railroad company, and &c miles of
track, from Shreveport, La, to Long
view, Texas. Extension of this line
westward began in 1872, with the ex-
pectation that it would be rapidly
pushed to the coast, but work was halt
ed by the panic of 1873. Scott and his
associates sold their holdings to Jay
Gould the elder, and Russell Sage and
associates in Ne WORK. The Gould
interests have controlled the line ever
since.
In 1875 extension of the line was re-
sumed. On July 4, 1875, the Texas
and Pacific reached Fort Worth, Texas,
the first railroad into that city. Early
in 1880 there was period of rapid ex-
tension westward over the great terri
tory toward Ell Paso, but in 1881, at
Sierra Blanca, Texas, 80 miles east of
Ell Paso, the Texas and Pacific met the
eastbound trans-continental line Of the
Southern Pacific system, which had
pushed across the country from the
Pacific, with the backing Of Hopkins,
Huntington, Crocker and Stanford. The
Texas and Pacific already had graded
the 80 miles remaining to Ell Paso, but
the Southern Pacific interests had
beaten them by simultaneously grading
and laying rails, and had trains run
ming to Sierra Blanca first. At this
time, it is said, Mr.. Huntington called

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 26.-The receiv-
ership application concerning the
Texas and Pacific railway has been
thrown out of the federal court in this
circuit for lack of jurisdiction, but an
appeal will be made.
The application for a receivership
was filed by the Bankers Trust Com
Rany, of New York, Dec. q, 1915, al
leging default since 1907 on interest
on the $25,OO0,OO0 second mortgage.
The petition charges that the net in
come has been diverted to other pur-
poses, and asks that the road be re-
strained from applying to any other
purpose the net income applicable to
these bonds.
On Dec. 81, at Monroe, La, B. +.
Bush, for the Missouri Pacific and the
Iron Mountain lines, filed suit against
the Texas and Pacific to enforce pay
Inent of $4,000 in promissory notes.
The Texas and Pacific railway was a
factor in the race between Jay Gould
and Coils P Huntington for the first
southern ns-continental route to the
Pacific, which Huntington won. 1t
figured also in a race between Chicago,
st. Louis and New Orleans for com
nlercial supremacy in the southwest
Its authorized capital stock is $50,0O0,-
600, Of which only $38, 1854, 900 has been
issued The line never has paid a
stock dividend. 1t was chartered in
1871, and re-organized during a receiv-
ership in 1885 to 1888, when it issued
two sets of bonds, one five per cent.
first mortgage of $25,0OO,000, and the
other $25 100000 in second mortgage
income bonds. Upon the second OF
these bond issues the present receiver
slip application was based. The re-
ownership of the soc was only one in
the roads history. Its present main
lines extend from New Orleans to near
Ell Paso, making a great arc across
north Louisiana and north Texas, with
a short mileage also in Arkansas. It's
total main line mileage is 1852.

.DERBYITEs MAKE A
FINE SOLDIER NOW

LONDON, Feb. 26.-"The Derbyites
are excellent material for soldiers!"
was the verdict of prominent general
after an inspection of large body of
the recruits who recently Joined the

Lord Derby.
The Associated Press correspondent
SPOKE to many of the men, the major
ity of whom showed keen interest in
their training and willingly suffered
the Inconvenience of their own pro-
fession.
The groups first called up were ItiIl
going through their period of setting
up drill, and the men were stiff and
sore from the almost continuous
Swedish exercises and route marches,
which they start daily before break
fast and carry on until dusk. 1t could
be seen, however, that even the short
spell of strict military discipline and
physical training had made fonder-
full difference in the bearing of the
men most of whom had previously led
sedentary lives in city offices and fac
tories and seemed visibly to fill out
under the influence of the open air
and constant movement
Virtually every district of the Unit
ed Kingdom was represented among
the recruits, and the various races
Welsh, Irish, Scottish and English
were easily distinguishable.
The course of soldiers prelimin-
airy training, which in peace times is
spread over about twelve months, is
now condensed into four months and
al the expiration of that period an
infantryman is regarded as fit to take
the field.

PREMIER SPEAKS TO
PORTUGAL DEPUTY

LISBON, Feb. 26-Premier Costa,
addressing the Portuguese chamber of
deputies today, stated that attempts
have been made to damage seven of
the Teutonic ships requisition by Por-
tcgal two days ago, and that he now
considers it to the best interests Of
Portugal to denounce the existing
treaty with Germany and permit it to
lapse June 5th, 1917.
Premier Costa, in explaining the
spectacular seizure of thirty-eight Ger
man and Austrian merchant ships for
governmental use, two days ago, said
the Portuguese government has pre-
pared for all eventualities that may
arise because of this exercising of the
nations rights. The ships seized will
not be confscated, as stated in earlier
dispatches, but have been requititioned
for governmental purposes, and will be
altered and fitted out as transports for
moving the Portuguese army. The
German and Austrian owners will be
paid for their property when the
value of the ships has been decided by
Portuguese courts.

of that particular 90-mile stretch, and
inquired whether he did not think that
one line of rails would carry all he
traffic available for some years. A
jeint traffic arrangement was made for
the Texas and Pacific to use the
Southern Pacific tracks into Ell Paso.
This arrangement still exists. The
Texas and Pacific had federal charter
all the way to the Pacific, but the
Southern Pacific, operating under state
charters as it advanced, had occupied
the territory first.
About 1880 the Texas & Pacific ac

You hear them cry out now and then
That their boy won't amount to q thing.
And he don't-in this wide world Of men
You've got to give faith the right ring,
You've got to make him feel that you
Feel firmly and truly his worth,
That you know he viii put things right
through.
That he showed the right will at his
BIRTH
You can't trust boy to do right
II you don't let him see that you trust
You can't be to him like q light
II you hide an your faith In the dust.
He needs such a faith a. WIN shine.

That he'll triumph DER evil and wrath.

Pass the Nolan Bill.

Congress has recognized that the
increased cost of living makes it es-
sential to give to the government en-
ployes additional salary to meet the
demands upon their pocketbooks, but
Congress, through the House Com
mittee on Appropriations, has not
gone far enough in the matter of Civ
ing.
Surely the employee receiving less
than ST 900 is the employe who needs
help most. 1t seems illogical that
the men with the smaller salaries get
the smaller percentage of increase.
To illustrate: The per cent of increase
for an employe receiving $500 a year,
would be $50; for the 81 900 clerk it
would be $Ioo. Rated downward, it
amounts to rs cents a week for the
charwomen in some of the govern
ment departments-certainly a very
meager advance.
The Nolan $3-a-day-minimum-wage
bill is among the most effective legis-
lation for the relief of the govern
ment employe on small salary. 1t
extends the helping hand to that class
of Federal workers who need it most.
There may be some cases where en-
ployes profting by its enactment are
unworthy of assistance to some de-
gree, but in the great majority of
cases they are doing work that makes
So fair days wage.
The fact that it has been recognized
by the business world is emphasized
by the difficulty the government is
having in filling eight positions at SOS
month in the New York custom
house. Men turn the positions down
upon the ground that their services
are worth more and outside capital
will pay it.
The Nolan bill may seem drastic,
but when the pay rolls of the great en-
ployers of labor are scanned, they dis
close that S. wage is near the mini
mum for skilled adult labor. With the
price of all the necessities of life on
the advance, S.. minimum hardly
offers any opportunity for extrava-
gance in the average family.
