CHANGING THEIR TUNE.

It is apparently a case of eating hum ble pie with the mayer of New York and his police commissioner. They indicated that they did not intend to and could not be made to participate in or lend their assistance to the investigation be- ing conducted by Charles S. Whitman as special district attorney They were going to hold themselves aloof and by policy of do nothing lend as much em barrassment as possible to the inquiry of the grand jury. They were in fact con- siderably peeved over the investigation, They took the position that they were not going to investigate themselves and thereby created stronger impression that there was need for an investigation Instead of doing their utmost to help the situation and to give the impression that they were desirous of getting any improvement. that was needed they put themselves in the position of obstruction ists. However much they might have hoped to prevent the inquiry they should have realized that there was no better way of inEurfng the continuance of the probe than by attempting to block it. The time to have taken a stand against any inquiry was months ago when it was realized that conditions were bad and when 1t vas possible to have applied, the remedy Nothing was done, for the pres ent administration in the metropolis started in by indicating that it wasn't committed to efficiency and better con ditions, and the situation there is only what they might have expected.

 Such an expression of town feeling had its result The matter wal carried 10 the general court and a bill brought in 10 regulate the expense and prevent the ez- cess of theatrical shows. The bill ulu- nately passed the house aud the senate and was signed by the governor.
 Meanwhile. 9 company of comedians. sncouraEed by the townSfolk. began their ieason in an old stable. and. 10 evade the aw, called the theatre the New Exhibi- , ton Room and the plays Moral Lee tures."

 The actors grew more daring. and when September came announced that on the 2sth Douglas and the Poor Soldier. moral lecture, In five parts, would be | presented. But Hancock was governor md not a man to be deceived by a bar or to tolerate an evasion of the law. When later the School for Scandal" was given the sheriff suddenly rushed upon the scene and carried off Sir Peter to
 hil. Threats were made against the sheriff and the governor by the friends of the theatre. and the opponents threat ened 10 tear down the playhouse.
 The arrest was declared illegal, ant the pIRyS were soon resumed and the hrs
 theatre was built In other cities th'
 theatre had the same experience. but th'
 oppositien was less strong. and by th' commencement of the new century th'
 art of acting was beginning to be estao nshed on a firm basis everywhere. (Tomorrow: Where We Received Gu Revolutionary cannon.)

FIGHTING THE DRUG TRAFFIC.

If the expectations of the authorities who arrested a New York man in Den yer prove true and they have taken the head of million dollar drug ring there will be cause for elation in more than internal revenue circles. After having carried on their profitable and demoraliz- ing traffic for period of five years, fed eral sagents have caught them at their game, taken a large amount of the dope and apparently secured evidence which will lead to much more important re- sults
 In spite of the legislation that has been enacted for the suppression of the illegal sale of narcotics it has been going on on a large scale, and because such trade was against the law and there were those who insisted upon having it at any cost | 1t was possible to charge all kinds of 1 outrageous prices and get them. Human | ity which needed the protection against | such crime provoking and health break | ing drugs has not only been encouraged in the use of such dope but it has been hercilessly made to nay the price.
 While persistent efforts are being made

KEEPING DOWN TIE NUMBER,

The reeommendation of the committee on reapportionment for an increase in the members of the lower house of con- gress whereby there would be AS new members added hasn't made strong ap- peal. While reapportionment is called for after each census there is a feeling that the house. is made up of enough members and that a further increase in the number would simply add to the con- fusion and operate against speedy and efficient handling of the business.
 The time is bound to come when there must be an end to the growth in mem- bership of the house. There is reeogni- tion of the need of keeping it from get ting unwieldy and just at this time there is appreciated the need of keeping down expenses.
 By the addition which was proposed which would be equivalent to one for each state though not actually appor- tioned in that manner, there would mean an extra expense running from a mil. lion to a million and a half each year This would be an expenditure added just because we had grown. From it no ad vantage would accrue in the character of the legislation but because of the in crease in numbers it would tend to han dicap congressional activities. By al amendment to the bill it was proposed that the membership of the house be linn i ited to 800 members. Inasmuch as 1t il believed that we are closely approachini | the time when a limit on the member of congress should be fixed, and that i is considered that the house is alread, large enough it appears to be the prope time to do the stopping now instead o adding AS new members and placing
 needless expense upon the country.
 The cutting down of expenses is tn aim of the present congress. The prunin knife is being effectively employed and
 is gratifying to note that there is nc only 8 strong demand that it be applie
 in connection with the proposed reaI
 portionment but that the prospects al
 that it will be. It is not improbable ths
 some changes in the number of repr, . sentatives from different states will ! made as the result of the census but seems unlikely that the number will l
 increased.

CUTTING THE ARMY

When the senate few days ago indi- cated that 1t desired to see the army cut to 150,e00 enlisted men there was con- siderable opposition on the part of those who believed that while it was a time for the practice of economy that was not sufficient reason for disregarding our actual requirements. Such a figure was against the advice of the experts and military heads. It was 10000 less than the secretary of war believed necessary and 5e,000 under the figure which Gen. eral Pershing said should be the mini mum.
 Developments have taken place since that 15o,oo0 amendment was approved and the result is now that though each house has approved different hills the number for the army is fixed at 175, ,0ot and the measures are not so far apart but what the differences can be easily compromised. The new limit will be met with overwhelming approval in the house and makes it evident that the first ster Tn the way of disarmament is going to bt taken in the army and regardless of wha other nations are doing in that respect It comes as it rightly should before an, definite move has been made towards { restriction of the additions to the navy That is our first line of defense and up - on that much dependence is bound t, rest
 The reduction in the size of the arm, will mean a saving of millions to tn, country. We cannot get along withou an army but we should not be put to tn expense of maintaining a quarter of million men or more when 1T5,OO0 vii meet all requirements. We have foun that we could get an army quicker tha navy and while it Is not imHrobabl that future efforts will result in cut ting of the naval construction programm for the saving of large sums each yea, the reduction of army expenditures well undertaken at this time and ind cates the attitude and desire of the cour try concerning disarmament.

niece of foolish and wicked extrzvaganee. The country. they declared, was surely going to be ruined by the taste Tor ex- pensive luxuries of this character.
 The discussion waxed warmer and warmer. till n little while each com munity was divided between the deteno- CTS and the detractors of the stage: The dispute began in Philadelpht1 ana Tor several months the good and the oad points in the theatre were sharply nis- cussed. Nothing came of the dispute. however. till the following year 1t broke out in New York, where a most violent discussion on the subject took place In the midst of 1t no small merriment was afforded by the news which came down the river from Albany. A party of stroll- ing players had lately made their ap- pearance in that staid city. had obtal d permission from the mayor to perform their parts. and 10 the horror of the more sober inhabitants drew larg. crowds.
 A petition was soon written and pre-
 sented with many signatures to the mayor. His Honor declared that the
 people stood in need of plays and play actors to instruct them in their duty and kgood manners, and the New York people
 were amazed to find that the honest
 sober Dutchmen of Albany, who were
 
 once distinguished by industry and lau- dable parsimony. were now wasting heii
 substance on shows.
 Meanwhile, like discussion was gent on in Philadelphia, where respectable

STATE ARMoRKs.

When Governor Lake lets it he known that he approves of the idea of renting the state armories and believes that it should be done there is reason to believe that the denial of the use of the armor- ies about the state to the public whi2h has been the case for the past few years will soon come to an end.
 It is realized of course that the armor- les are built for the state military or ganizations and that they have first claim upon them. They are, however, built and maintained. at public expense and there are times when public functions require just such accommodations as may be ob- tained there and nowhere else within the limits of the community.
 The armories are eccdpied but a small part q 'che time by the meetings and drills of the military companies, and up to within few years it was possible to hire the armeries at a tiH1e when there would be no conflict with the compan- les sheltered therein. Either through g failure on the part of the public of tht respect that was due to state property or failure upon the part of the state authorities to protect itself against what
  ever damage might be done when the ar mories were leased, there came a tim, when ban was placed upon the use O the armories for any other than com pany functions.
 This has meant the abandonment 0 certain affairs because it was not DOS sible to secure adequate accommodation elsewhere. so that at least locally depr: vation instead of taking state propert out of competition with private capita However the state may have felt in th past that the opening of the armories t the public cost more than was receive there are apparently ways in which ths can be overcome and in which restric tions can be placed upon public use ( them so that all concerned may be hens fited. It certainly is unfortunate f have such large place to assemble an yet be denied the opportunity of secul ing the use of such property. The ind cation by the governor that it will changed will be learned with much sati faction.

 HISTORY
EARLY OPPOSITION
ITO THE THEATRE

ITO THE THEATRE
 When the Revolutionary war was over, and the people began looking about for divesion, for long time there was a strenuous opposition to the theatre In Massachusetts, especially, it was held in abhorrence, and the sharp laws of earlier times were in 17S4 re-enacted. In New York and Philadelphia the stage was also frowned upon, and plays and players were pronounced immoral But there re- mained many towns of lesser note where the actors were made welcome. as, for in- stance, Baltimore and Richmond.
 Among the plays considered as fit to be performed were one or two of Sheri- dams, as many more of Sharespeares and some of O'Keefe's. But the taste of the. public was not critical. and none called for such rounds of applause as I'"Love in Village" and Miss in Her Teens" But upon no occasion were the audiences as large and as jolly as on ar evening when it was expected that liar | lequin would bound through hogsheads oi | fire and chests of drawers.
 From such spectacles as these, how ever, large part of the community kep aloof. Some pronounced them 10 be i'm moral and others denounced them ae [
