What's Coming Washington eaters Next Week-GOsp About the
Folk Who Amuse U.s. and Something of the Way They Do 1t

.-HE name OF "The Merrie Month
Of May" seen at the National
\ Theater recently, has been
changed to Moonlight and Honey
suckie"-probably TO keep people
from thinking that it's an Elizabethan
drama, from the "Merrie."
II opened In Chicago this week TO
the biggest rst-performAnce audi
ence the Powers' Theater has had this
season and with most promising ad-
vance sale.
After the second act there were flf-
teen curtain calls and a speech by
the star, Ruth ChattertOn.
Miss Chatterton, despite the fact
she is justly one OF the most popular
young actresses on the American
stage, has been peculiarly unfortunate
in some of her recent vehicles, and u
is to be hoped that this news pre-
sages a long and successful run with
her present play.
Certainly Washington liked it-and
her.

WHAT PUBLIC OPINION
SEEKS

Tho greatest force in this country.
silent and often unexercised IS. and
always will be. the force Of public
opinion. Public opinion - certain to
make itself felt against the stoppage Of
the mines, against tho arbitrary de-
mands made BY the -g representatives. of
the miners and against any proposition
which looks to the disruption Of this
great industry. Public opinion wants
only justice and equity. It would not
presume 10 fix a rate Of wages for
miners. nor the exact number OF hours
FOR them to work; but it does ask that
any demands relative to wages or 10
hours shall be submitted to fair aroi-
tration 70 be adjusted on an honorable
basis, and that the production Of coal
necessary for the industry and for the
comfort Of the people shall not be stop
ped. Public opinion will find q way OF
dealing with any large body OF mon
who deliberately put their own selfish
views above the welfare OF the whole
people.
