THE LYCEUM

engaging type, are the heroes OF
'Rolling Stones" the new Edgar Sell
Wyn comedy which the Baldwin play
ers have chosen for their third week
at the Lyceum theater.
For two weeks the Baldwin players
have been presenting modern COM
edies with a melodranatic tinge, and
they have proven very popular with
Lyceum audiences. 1.-THE Misleading
Lady," the last performance of which
will be given Saturday night, has
been generally voted one of the best
productions Manager Baldwin ha'
ever given Duluth.
"Rolling Stones" has meyer been
seen in Duluth and it has the record
of long run in New York to recon-
mend it. It is also q melodramatic
comedy, Of the same type as '"The
Misleading Lady" and Under Cover
but it's plot is widely different from
either.
In a fresh and breezy way the play
deals with two Chicago youths who
are down on their luck, penniless ant
starving, and who finally land or
Easy street by methods that are moi
exactly ethical.
| The story Of the play follows:
Buck" Ryder owes his landlady
$65 which he cannot pay, and, al.
| though the typist of Hewitt's Candy
stores offers to lend him the money
he refuses it, and in desperation
starts out with revolver to relieve
the first innocent pedestrian hi
meets of sufficient cash to supply his
| immediate wants. His first intended
victim is Dave Fulton, who, it hap,
pens, had just tried to get arrested
to secure free nights lodging.
''Ryder had learned that certain
Jerico w. Braden was expected tt
come to Chicago to claim the candy
business and marry Norma Noggs ir
order to fulfill the conditions i'm
posed by the will Of the late Mr.
Hewitt. Braden did turn up, but be.
cause he was already married, he
| concealed his identity, which gave
rise to the belief that he had been
killed in a railroad wreck en- route
This furnishes Buck the opportunity
for which he was looking, and he
and Fulton form an alliance. Fulton
agrees to impersonate Braden and
obtain control of the candy factory
They succeed beyond their widest
expectations, even employing the rea
Braden as a clerk.
1.-The two youths, under the i'm.
pulse of youth and enthusiasm, put
new life into the business, and ii
grows amazingly. All goes we'll unit
the police begin investigating the dis.
appearance of the real Braden. Their
some surprising complications follow
but it ends with the real owner TAX
ing the boys into partnership because
of til eir energy and industry. The
interesting young crooks also acquire
sweethearts during the action of the
play, and the curtain falls with the
Rolling Stones in a fair way to be-
come settled"
=. The Baldwin players have appar.
emily acquired many new friends thi.
season. The attendance during thu
two opening weeks has been much
larger than during the corresponding
weeks last year, and the new mem
beers of the company have become
very popular with Lyceum audiences
The opening performance of Roll
ing Stones" will he given Sunday aft
ernoon, and it will continue all week
with the usual matineea wednesday
and Saturday also.

SENATOR SHEPPARD AND THE LAND QUESTION.
Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas knows that there
is land problem in the United States He has intro
duced resolution to amend the Constitution to en-
power the Federal Government to buy land in large
tracts, subdivde it, improve it, and sell it in small
parcels He hopes thus to stop the increase of land
lordsm in rural districts. Massachusetts recently
adopted similar amendment to the State Constitution
Tor the purpose of increasing small home-owning
Senator Sheppard deserves credit for taking note
OF fundamental evil and trying to apply remedy But
disappointment awaits him. Should he succeed in
bringing about adoption of his amendment which alone
will require tremendous effort he will find the task
OF blocking landlordism still unaccompshed He has
begun his reform at the wrong place. Farm land values
are advancing at by leaps and bounds If there
were reason to believe that the was about
TO enter the market and become purchaser on large
scale not only would high prices be maintained
but the upward tendency would be accelerated The
government would be forced to buy the top of the
market
But suppose this did not happen. or that, having
bought at high price, the government nevertheless
would philanthropcay sell at loss. That would only
check landlordsm temporarily. Having bought up the
land and redivded it, it would not stay divided It has
not stayed that way in the of homeseaded lands
The possibility of gain from unearned increment must
cause the land to drift back again the hands of
SPECTATORS and there will be the same old situation
to be dealt with.
This can be avoided by going about the matter
III the right way. There is reason why increased
values created by all the people should go into private
pockets. II that were prevented there would be no
incentive to holding land for any other purpose than
for use In Senator shappards state the State Fedora

The average value of farm land throughout the
United States in 1910, aside from buildings was s32
an according the census In 1916 according to
the Department of Agriculture this value had grown to
$780, increase of 40 cent Since the total value
OF farm lands, aside from buildings was returned in
1910 as 100000, the increment since then
must be more than eleven billions
The total agricultural wealth production in 1910
according to the Department of Agriculture, was
$S,49S,311,413 The entire production of that wear
would not even pay increase in land values for the six
years since then to nothing of the inflated prices
that prevailed during the year. And it requires
as much expenditure of labor and capital to make the
land productive as it did in 1910. #% m

THE COAL MONOPOLY'S GREED.


In the face of rising prices in nearly all products it
may futile to attack any product with de-
mands that the prices at which it is sold be investigated

has been determined by the rule of charging all that
the traffic will bear and that is not by in

The companies recently agreed to Pennsyl-

big advance in the prices of COAL 1t that the

Philadelphia Ledger says
"Attorney General Gregory, the fresh

the hard coal trade has put the situation squarely

necessity of commerce and industry, and use that
monopoly power to exor vast and unreasonable profits

that since 1900 the have made increased

Our Flags Still Wave on Ru- manian Passes, Russias Shortest Route to South, Taunts Minister.
(By Review Leased Wire)

BERLIN. Dec 20. (wireless to Say ville)-The Overseas News Agency today gave out for publication a Con- stantinople dispatch containing a speech of the Turkish minister of for eign affairs. Halil Bey. before parlia- ment dealing with a recent address made before the Russian Duma by Prime Minister Trepoff concerning the agreement between the entente allies with regard to the disposition of Con stantinople after the war.
 The Russian minister Trepofr. Haln Bey is quoted as having saie considered it necessary after th' breakdown of Rumania to delude tho downhearted Russian people by hold ing before their eyes a dream of the conquest of Constantinopie. He de clared that France and England had agreed with Russia to support Rus sia's deposition over Constantinople and that the Russian people must know why they were shedding their blood.
 We have not the habit of bragging We answer the fantastic ideas of Trepoff with a reality of facts, and We thank God that he has allowed our flags to wave victoriously on the Rus sian passes-that is the shortest road from Russia to Constantinople They began this war drunk with ambitious pretentions, and pursuing fantastic plans. We fight and we march on the way of truth-and will continue to do so confiding in the Almighty and sup ported by the force of our army and sacrifice of our nation.
