LYRIC

It is impossible to say how many people have read s'The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,Y the delightful story which John Fox, Jr., wrote around the lives of the primitive mountain folk of the Virginia Hills. The publishers admit that they sold almost million copies of the book and as three times that number, perhaps four times, must have borrowed it from the fortunate possessors or from the public libraries it is not overstepping the boundary of truth to say that 5000, 900 readers have followed June from her cabin in the hills to the lonely pine in which she believes the spirit of her sister dwe1ls to watch over her while she stays in the Gap.
 Eugene Walter has brought out all the strength of MT. F'ox's delightful story; he has made June and her kin folk delightful stage. characters, vis- ualizing in his virile manner, the primitive scenes and manners of a rugged people.
 The business done has been the largest of any dramatic play in recent years and it proved tremendous suc- cess in Boston, New York, and Chi cago, where it enjoyed long runs. This is the reInarkab bly, realistic Vir- ginia romantic play wh1ah Cecil Spooner will, with the assistance of her associate players, present at the Lyric theatre next week, in spectacu- lar form. There will be every essence of Old Virginia life introduced throughout this very 1neritorious play, and will afford Miss Spooner and her entire company splendid opportunity to demonstrate their best efforts as dramatic entertainers.

Paying The Hatters' Fine

Organized labor has done not only
the honorable thing but the wise
thing in raising the money to pay the
$252,00 fine assessed against the
hatters' union, of Danbury, Conn.
This famouse case, the cause of so
much bitter feeling, will now be
closed with a certain amount of sat-
isfaction to everybody. The letter of
the law is upheld; but the few old
men held responsible for the boycott
which was adjudged in violation of
the antitrust law will not lose their
homes. The burden is assumed by
the American Federation of Labor,
upon whom the moral responsibility
probably rests.
It has been irksome, of course, for
the union men of the United States
to pay this fine, which they will re-
gard as unjust. There's no profit in
further discussion at this time of the
principle involved. But there is con-
siderable compensation to the unions
in the new feeling of fraternal Coop
GRAFTON created by their action in
this case. By doing something they
were not legally bound to do, they
have enormously strengthened the
bonds of unionism.-Record.

Political Illusions.

From time to time one hears the
political reformer pirate about GER
tain theories that are dead sure to
reform the State. One need but to
read the history of politics since the
days of Adam to readily understand
that politics is the same to-day, yes
terday and forever. The day of re-
form never comes. Certainly not in
that form of politics used under the
Republican form of government,
where parties control public affairs.
The most certain thing in modern
day politics is that it is state of
affairs with the Gins" against the
"outs," and vice versa. There is no
difference. This condition Of things is
necessary in party politics, else party
politics would not exist.
So the political reformer is a mere
go-between-an influence for good or
evil trying to GUST those already in
power, and endeavoring to put him
self in power. Frequently opposing
views effect valuable changes. That
is the net result of all party politics.
Yet there are times when the po-
litical saint steps to the front with
something that sounds real, that
looks real, but which when measured
up with any standard, seeks finally
the same level of all others.
The working out of great prin-
ciples involve nations in civil war,
cities into rebellion, kingdoms into
revolution. Then there arises a
Washington or Lincoln, Crom-
well or Grant. But even then the mil
lennium never arrives. Men swore
at Lincoln and abused Mckinley.
They tore away the fabric of Cleve-
land, as they are again clamoring at
Woodrow Wilson. The reformer
gets just so far. Then he is pushed
aside. The people must live in a
state of unrest, thanks to Adam.
