The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1916-09-09

The seasons of 1916 and IL are upon
rs and the outlook is more than en-
couraging. These conditions were
mostly brought about through the con-
tinued success of our own Bert A. Will.
Iams, who has long since been con-
sidered the peer of all comedians and
the biggest Box Office attractions of the
famous Zigfelds Follies. Next to him
comes the peoples favorite comedian,
Sherman 81. Dudley, who is now being
featured with the biggest and best
show in the Columbia Wheel. Dave
Marion's "World of Frolics" which
ran all the summer at the Columbia
here, so highly did Mr.. Marion think
of Mr.. Dudley that a few weeks ago
he made him a present of a $4,000
Touring Car, next in order is "Dane-
ing Dotson," who is with "The Step
Lively Girls" now at the Columbia
here, then there are a number of other
Colored Acts that are featured in the
big Burlesque Shows, but most of the
Colored Acts seek vaudeville of which
there is a large number. Among them
that are considered Standard Vaude-
vile Acts are: Fidler Shelton, now
playing on the w. v. A. time, being
booked solid, Davis & Walker, McCar-
yes & Panky, Tribe & Robinson, Coo
per & Smith, Rucker & Winfrey, Rob-
inson & Lemonier, The Kemps, Musi-
cal Bysons, Henderson & Thomas, Musi-
cal Spillers, then there are several big
acts. Will Mastin and Virgie Richards
are the head of the Holiday in Dixie
Act with 10 people. A few weeks ago
this act created a sensation at Nc
Vickers and the N. Y. Variety, the
leading vaudeville paper of the world
gave them a fine write up in which
they made mention that they would be
accepted in Broadway production.
The Ten Black Dots is another act that
has forged to the front and is in de-
mand in vaudeville. Joe Shsftel and
Sam Davis are the features. Y
Frank Rogers the Premier Ventril-
oquist has added his wife to his act
which makes her the only Colored lady
in the world that has been seen in
Ventriloquism, it is decided novelty.
The war in Europe has played havoc
IN fhof annnfru of
present there are only a few Colored
acts that are working on the Moss and
Brell Circuit. Belle Davis & Picks,
Scott & Whaley, Singing Harry Brown
and two Chicago boys, Miller & Lyles,
are all doing well considering war
times.
The regular season in our theatres
opens on Labor day and we have only
the Grand to look to for something Dor
dering on the legitimate as the Pekin
has passed away. In the passing of
the Pekin as a theatre many regrets
were expressed on all sides, it was
there that the late Aida o. Walker
made her last appearance in this city
and it was her greatest triumph,
financially, artistically and socially. 1t
was during this engagement which was
promoted and financed by Teenan
Jones that Miss Walker gathered around
her the ones she had taught Terp-

the only evidence we have of Jeffer-
sons hostility to the slavery system.
The original draft of the Declaration
of Independence, which he wrote, it.
self furnishes abundant proof of his
position on this question.
In that instrument, as it was first
presented to the congress, June %,
1776, by the committee of which Mr..
Jefferson was chairman, contained the
following language:
"He has urged cruel war against
human nature itself, violating its most
sacred rights of life and liberty, in the
persons of a distant people who never
offended him; captivating and carry
ing them into slavery in another hem
isphere, or to incur a miserable death
in their transportation thither. This
piratical warfare, the opprobrium of
infidel powers, is the warfare of the
Christian King of Great Britain. De-
termined to keep open a market where
men should be bought and sold, he has
prostituted his negative for suppress
ing every legislative attempt to pro-
hibit or to restrain this execrable COM
merce.'
As Washington was the military
head, so was Jefferson the literary
leader of the forces that founded our
great democratic republic and from
the foregoing it is readily seen that
their scheme of government included
not only the emancipation of the
slaves, but also their incorporation into
the body of the new nation g sovereign
citizens.
Practical Social Equality.
1t has become quite common for
southern opponents OF Negro equality
with other citizens to quote Abraham
Lincoln as opposed to such a propo-
sition. Jefferson is never quoted in
opposition to equal rights for the very
good reason that he never resorted to
ordinary political methods for success,
but his every act and word strictly
conformed to his rugged ideas of right
and justice; he believed in absolute
equal rights for all men, black or
white, and he never uttered a word to
the contrary. That he was not averse
to social equality with Negroes was
evidenced by the entertainment as his
guest for several days at Monticello
of the great Negro astronomer, Ben
jamin Banneker. Banneker was the
son of a native African and assisted in
surveying and laying out the city of
Washington, d. c. Published an al
manac and came to be a most noted
scientist. Jefferson not only enter
tanned Banneker, but invited many
noted Virginians to meet and dine with
him.
On one occasion when he was speak
ing against the continuance of slavery
in this country, Mr.. Jefferson exclaimed
that "he trembled for his country
when he remembered that God was
just and that one hour of slavery or
bondage is fought with more misery
than whole ages of our colonial oppres-
sions.'

Women in National Politics

nation wide trip of a womens campaign train is interesting and uncommon an incident that it well be said to mark an epoch in the history of the in politics the Deseret News of Salt Lake City. This train is to leave the Grand Central Ter minal, New York, October ?. and during the first week. stops will be made meetings held and speeches delivered in least of the principal cities of each of the states of New York; Ohio, Michigan Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The second week will be similarly spent in North Dakota Montana, Washington and Oregon the third in California Nevada, Arizona and Utah; the fourth in Idaho, Wy omng, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky the fifth and last begins in Ohio, fol- lowed by meetings in West Virginia, Pennsylvania Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey thence back afternoon of November 4.
 For the first time in America the work of women in national politics is this year being seriously taken by all the parties and press and public share in the interest which their earnest into the paign has aroused. Their enthusiasm is marked by nothing amateurish. spasmodic timid-on trary it partakes of the courage and systematic strategy of the seasoned campagner On side the other the leading women of the nation actively arrayed and for the fray and the fact that the campaign train here referred is under the direction of the National Hughes Alliance and in aid of his candidacy, need detract from the interest with which it will be everywhere greeted. It is already ceiving response that is nation wide its trip be- and by all parties and classes it help but be regarded a significant and practical expression of womens political operation with from this time henceforth in the selection of the nations chief officials.

 The three cent fare cases are to he fought out at this term-three separate actions being filed by the Arizona Eastern, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railway companies.
 The famous circus case, in which the Arizona Eastern is involved, will be coming up in the form of an equity suit against the commission. A suit by the South Side Gas and Electric Company is brought against it by John L. Warirg, to test the commissions power to fix rates. An other rate case is being brought by the San Carlos Canal and Irrigation Company.
 Another interesting civil suit will be that of Wm. B. Lount and Mrs H. L. Mosher vs w. s. Cone, Walter Ward and A. J. Haltom. This case grew out of disputes over the city ditch across the property of the plaintiffs.

BLACK KNOT DISEASE
 FORM 0F GROWN CALL
BY A. w. MORRILL, (Sfate EntoroIouist)


 Black knot disease is one form of crown gall and is caused by the same organism which produces crown gall on the roots of peaches, apples and other fruit trees.
 Grape vines can stand a good deal of this trouble without being killed by it but whenever the gall extends entirely around the stalk it shuts off the circulation of sap and destroys the part of the plant which is be- yond Judging from the samples l expect that you have some vines which are suffering rather severely.
 It is generally advisable to keep the diseased vine as long as you can maintain a productive condition. The development of new canes from be- low the infected part should be en- coirased whenever possible and the diseased parts cut out and burned as rapidly as new canes can be formed. If the root is also infected you VIII have more trouble in protecting the vine. but 1t maH live for a number of years in a productive condition. would advise you to prune infected vines back rather more severely than vou would normally and I would also advise you not to permit infected vines to produce their maximum crop of fruit. Overbearing will weaken an infected vine and cause 1t to succumb to the disease more. rapidly than if you thin out the fruit and get only a moderate crop.
 | In pruning vines which are known to ba infected you should be careful to disinfect your pruning shears at- ter each cut For this purpose you should lse . solution of corrosive sublimate, 1 part to thousand. Whenever root infection is discover ed the pest you can do to check the development of the disease is to cut away the affected parts with a sharp knife or cbisel and disinfect the cut surface with a solution of bluestonA.

DOES HUNTING BRurALIzE A eoya

sentiment toward hunting seems to be undergoing a decided change in America. few years ago no thought of protesting against the placing of a gun in the hands of a small boy except the ground of danger to humans. Now the argument is fre- quently made that hunting tends to brutaze the boy. Garrett P Serviss in of the big daies, dis cusses this question and says in part:
 "I am disposed to take sides with the sentimen- talists in this matter. converted in my barefoot days. There few incidents of early life that I remember vividy than the killing of beautiful blue breasted songstress when I was youngster highly valued my craftsmanship with stones in those days
 But I cherished a great ambition to bring down bird with stone One brilliant afternoon about tea time, as I was whistling along country road. bordered with old-fashioned -and-raf fence attractive bird flew up it's throat full of melody and balanced itself the tip of a high fence pole at the side of the road To snatch up a round pebble and fling it at the songster an act of instinct my part
