THE DRAG HELD
 AS OFFENSIVE
May Be Banned in N. Y.-Some
 of Troup Arrested

New York, Feb. (UP)-Lead- ing Broadways theatrical producers were united today In their determin- ation to prevent "The Drag" billed as "a homosexial comedy by the author of Sex from being pro- duced in New York. If the play gets into New York, actors and man. agers feared, censorship would be forced on the stage here.
 Barred from Stamford, "The Drag" had its opening at Bridgeport, Conn.,, last night before a packed house, including many women. Advance notices had been of such a character to cause police Commis- sioner Mclaughlin of New York to send the police department secretary and a police officer to Bridgeport to see the play and recommend barring the play from New York rather than the closing of 1t after 1t had come here.
 John Golden, producer said he lad ilOl SCti lllt pieiy bul IiOIii tC- counts of it he was convinced that it's invasion of New York would be the straw to break the camel's back"
 Al H. Woods said If any theater owner permitted the play 10 be shown In his theater, "censorship of the strictest kind will be deserved"
 The producers were trying to bring pressure on the owners of the thea ters to refuse to rent a theater to the producers of "The Drag"
 A critic from New York news paper who saw the, play said the of- fensiveness of "The Drag" consisted not so much in it's theme as in its vulgar and insincere lines and bad construction. He said 1t had none Of the sincerity or artistry of "The Captive"
 The producers and dramatists have already chosen three members each and the actors will do likewise. to compose a committee of nine to de- eide what action should be done to prevent a1 almost certain censorship unless "The Drag" is headed off and other reforms are undertaken.

ceipt of the telegram from Lady De Bathe Uily Langtry) who is at Monte Carlo. He said the telegram was addressed to him personally and he could not read it except with Wright's permission, as a matter of grace.
 Wright gave his assent
 T wish that 1t should be read" he said.
 | Parnell Also Figures
 Wraiths out of the Victorian era passed through the court room as Wright submitted to further cross examination today. Parnell, the famous Irish leader and member of parliament, figured largely in Wright's testimony in company with Mrs. O'Shea. described by Wright as Parnells mistress. At the conclusion of his cross examination. Wright said he regretted the publication in his book, Portraits and Criticisms" of the passage alleging promiscuity to Gladstone. But, Wright said, he was unable to withdraw the statement because he could not say thing was not true when he really thought it was true.
 Only 900 copies of the book have been sold, Wright said, and of those 800 were sold before Viscount Glad stone wrote the letter calling Wright a liar, a coward and fool upon which the present libel action is founded.
 Wright reiterated that he believed W. E. Gladstone had connived in the Illicit relations between Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea.
 This man O'shea," said Wright of the woman's husband was all the time exploiting his wife and try ing to get posts as an undersecretary or something else"
 viscount Gladston's counsel insist ed that it was pure assumption flag rantly contradicting letters which had been produced in court One of the letters was mentioned specifical- ", Whereupon Wflgnt sald: Condems O'Shea
 ''I now think O'Shea was a dirtier swine than I thought before"
 The letter merely was handed to the court and was not read although it was stated that it began My dear est wife" and concluded your af- fectionate husband"
 The judge ruled that Viscount Gladstone's letter to the Bath club. of which both he and Wright were members, in which Gladstone said that one or the other would have to withdraw, was written on 8 privi- legged occasion but that the question of whether it was written maliciously would be left to the jury. The Bath club is one of the most exclusive in tho world The Prince of Wales is member Wright was compelled to withdraw from the club.

Gladstone Slander Case Again
 StartlS England

London. Feb. 1 (UP)-Lily Lang try. the vivid stage beauty of the Victorian era whose colorful sun set years ago, emerged today from the obscure retirement of placid old age to defend the character of the great statesman, Lord Gladstone.
 At the resumption of the islander trial brought against Viscount Glad liberal premier, by Captain Peter Wright, a telegram was presented from "The Jersey Lily" in which she said
 T strongly repudiate the slander- ous accusation Of Peter Wright"
 Wright is suing Eiscount Glad stone because he called Wright q coward, liar and fool" for say ing in book that the elder Glad stone was promiscuous about women. Wright had intimated that Lord Gladstone sought and possessed every sort of women," and that his list of mistresses included Lily Lang try.
 Interest in the trial. which was adjourned last Friday until today was only increased in the interim and when court resumed. every inch of available space was packed. The crowd included many notable per sons, such as Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, the playwright, members of the kings bench, peers of the. realm and leaders of London society.
 Some of the older spectators could remember the Victorian age, in which they spent their youth and were brought up in it's prim atmos- phere, swayed by the mythical Mrs Grundy's dictum Of, what will peo- pie say"
 It was the implied attack by Wright on the moral standards of those outwardly impeccable times that caused such widespread inter- est in these days. when the doing of the present generation have been subjected to such widespread criti- cism.
 When court resumed, counsel for Viscount Gladstone announced re-

ANONYMOUS LETTERS.

During the past week two letters
came to The Republican with valuable
news material enclosed. The editor
did not know whether the news was
authentic or not, and he took chance
that if he did publish it and the article
caused trouble he would have no way
of knowing who submitted the matter
in question.
1t so happened that the news was
found to be authentic and for that
reason is being published in today's
issue. But that isn't the point. Ev-
cry news item, story or letter to the
editor should have the name of the
sender attached to it. That is not for
the purpose of using the signature for
publication, for it will always be with
held, but it is simply to show good
faith on the part of the contributor.
Signed articles are nothing more or
less than a guarantee on the part of
the writer that the matters are true
and in way vouch for their anthem

your articles get into print, sign your

THAT BOARD BILL.

One of the most intimate problems
with which the average American has
to deal is his board bill, whether he be
living the life of Single blissfulness"
or happens to have been fortunate
enough to have persuaded some good
woman to divide with him the respon-
sibility of managing home. Wise
men or women calculate most relig-
iously just how much it will take to
meet the requirements Of the. family
table and then strive to keep within
reasonable bounds. All this being
true, it would seem that every think
ing consumer ought to give heed to
the needs of agricultural recognition,
knowing full we'll that if the basic in
dustry fails or the number of produc-
ers are reduced materially the final
losers will of certainty be those who
are compelled to visit the market
place and meet current prices for food
supplies.
Virgil Jordan, chief economist of
the National Industrial Conference
Board of New York, recently sounded
a well-timed warning which should be
needed by all reasonably minded citi-
zens. Among other things, he said:
"Soon therell be no more second
helping at Mrs. American Farmers
boarding house, where city and indus
trial workers. are getting cheap AND
bountiful meals, unless they pay the
landlady more for her food so she can
afford to stay in the business. Though
the city workers and the city indus
tries are proftting today by the cheap
food that they get at the farmers ex-
pense, all economic experiences shows
that they cannot evade paying their
board bill, though it may take another
decade for the farmer to collect it. In
the long run, the farm and the factory
are mutually dependent and there can
be no permanent prosperity for one
at the expense of the other. The time

people when we must deliberately and
wisely formulate a National agricul-
tural policy. This issue is inescapa-
BILE, even though it may be postponed.
Whether you look at agriculture as an
industry, as a business, as an occupa-
ton, or as way of living, it is no
longer possible to ignore the great
economic and social problems which
its situation presents"
There was much more of this same
kind of logical argument in Mr.. Jor-
dams address, but we have quoted
enough to show "what fools those
mortals be" who think that bleeding"
the farmers is to be a|permanent pas
time.

Eighth Annual Harvey Reunion.

One OF the largest reunions OF the
Oldest family in Garrett county was
held at Shook Shop Grove, Saturday,
September 3. The day was an ideal
one and the place one of the old fav-
orite spots of upper Garrett county
where the Harveys, their relatives
and friends have met annually in re-
unions for the past eight years.
The program as rendered was as
follows: Call to order, Mr.. J. D. Har-
vey, president; selections by the Oak
Grove band under direction of Prof.
Mickey; song, america" by those as
sembled. This was led by Rev. E. C.
Cuppett, of Mountain Lake Park;
prayer by Rev. F. L. Fultz, U. B. min
lister of Loeb Lynn; address of well
come, ]. D. Harvey, president; duet,
"The Unseen Hand" Revs. Cuppett
and Fultz; address, Miss Clara Right
mire, of Morgantown, West Va.
The address of Miss Rightmire out
lined plan looking to the publica-
ton of history of the Harvey fam
lily and each member of that family
was requested by the speaker to send
all important information concerning
their family to Mrs. l. L. Neville, at
Bayard, West Va, for compilation and
publication at a later date. Miss
Rightmire also invited the Harveys of
Maryland to unite with the Harveys
of West Virginia and other states at
a reunion held annually the second
Sunday of August at place along
the highway between Philippi and Ell
kins, West Va.
Reading, "Dad, I and Mother" w.
E. Moon, Omaha, Neb.; "Come Thou
Almighty King; call for dinner and
all assembled around great tables
laden with an abundance of food at
which the doxology was sung and
thanks returned by Rev. Brown.
Following the dinner concert was
given by the Oak Grove Band and an
address was made by Capt. George
Wilson, mayor of Elkins, and one by
Rev. Brown, of Deer Park.
An old fashioned corn roast was
held in the evening which concluded
the events of the reunion of this most
excellent family springing from those
truly great pioneers who conquered
| the wilderness and made it to bloom.

"USE ALL OR NONE OF IT."

Breathes there man in Garrett
county who, standing before piece Of
"copy" that is being sent to The Re-
publican, has said that such a work
Of literary composition could not be
improved? Breathes there the same
man who, after sending the piece of
"copy" in and having it changed and
composed into a really good news
story, has said that his "stuff" must
be used word for word, or he would
refrain from giving out any informa-
ton whatsoever?
Yes, there is such a man! There
are several such men, but the only
consolation is that there are ever so
many more who are just directly OPP
posite of them.
The Republican does not want to
make it appear that it knows every
thing that is to be known, but it does
claim that it knows how to write news
stories in proper form for publication.
All who read the columns of the paper
want the real news of the county, and
they want it and should have it in
readable form. Anything that has no
news value has no business in the
paper, and that is why some things
are cut out of articles from time to
time.
Ninety-nine per cent of the arti.
Giles submitted for publication are ac-
companied by note stating that if
the wording is not quite correct for
the editor to please make the proper
changes and present it in a readable
form. The other one per cent think
that there is no literature like their
own, and to further impress the idea
upon the editor letter was sent to
him recently by one of the one per
cent notifying him that if the entire
article was not used, not to use any
of it.
Well, the editor did not use his ma
terial and got a much better story
from another source.
The one per cent may know thei,
Bermudas, but they don't know their
