acy. The Hayman- Klaw- Erlanmsr combine refused them houses in key cities throughout the country. So with tireless enterprise the showmen played Bernhardt the di- vine Sarah in tents in California.
 In 1907 they allied themselves with the Kiaw & Erlanger conn bine and commenced the climb that at one time found them with from 150 co 200 theaters and thou sands of actors. In New York alone the Shuberts would produce from 35 to 50 plays ana operattas a year.
 "A man who produces successes must also have failures" Lee once said. T expect 10 per cent of my productions to be successes what we call hits. I expect 20 per cent of them to be moderately suc- cessful and the rest to be unsuc- cessful."

Shuberts Gone

(Continued from Page 1.) Lee-started in Syracuse where Lee sold programs in theater while his older brothers were ex- tending the first tendrils of what has become probably the largest legitimate producing organization in the world.
 It was characteristic of these three restless sons of a humble tailor that once decided upon a career of theater owning they turned first towards New York where the powerful stage trust, the Hayman, Klaw, Erlanger combine held the legitimate in an artistic strangle hold.
 Outside of the trust" there was but one theater available in New York when the Shuberts started their invasion. That was the Herald Square, a second rate house, and Sam, then a boy under 20. negotiated for its leasing and immediately telegraphed an offer to Richard Mansfield, who was looking for a theater.
 Have an important theater to offer," read Shubert's message to the great actor.
 They received a reply asking them to meet Mansfield on his yacht where they preached their proposition.
 But the Herald Square," said Mansfield aghast. That is not an important house."
 "Ah," replied Sam, "but it would be after you played there."
 Mansfield adjusted his monocle and agreed there was merit in the suggestion.
 That was all the start the Shu- berts needed. Sam was killed in a train accident in 1905, but J. J. and Lee pursued the course he had mapped out for national suprem-

WOMEN IN POLITICS

To those who decry the advent of women
in politics and official life the dismissal of
Mrs. Jean Hortense Norris from her position
as New York's first woman magistrate will
appear as an additional argument for their
prejudice against officeholding by the fair
sex.
Justices of the state Supreme Court, be-
fore whom Judge Norris was tried, unani-
mously ordered her removal from office, find
ing her guilty of altering court records to
cover up her unfairness to helpless women
framed" for moral offenses; of owning stock
in bonding company operating in her court /;
of disregarding the constitutional rights of
defendants, and of selling her official name
to advertise commercial product.
All these offenses came to light after
she had served as magistrate nearly IL
years, besides enjoying an enviable national
reputation as a leader in many political and
social movements.
AS general proposition, however, Mrs.
Norris's fall from grace proves nothing for or
against the participation of women in public
affairs. 1t merely demonstrates anew what
every student of human nature knew already
that probity is not an exclusive attribute
of either sex, but that good and evil struggles
for mastery in the hearts and minds of men
and women alike.

POSSIBLE CONGRESSIONAL TIMBER

Thousands of the outstanding citizens
of the Sixth Minnesota district are casting
about for suitable candidate for Congress
next year.
They would like to have man of out
standing integrity courage to stand by his
convictions; one who does not require a
weather vane to disclose whether the sup
port or opposition to any given measure will
meet the popular appeal of those who do
not, because of lack of information, under
stand the effect of any given measure.
Harry Lee, of Long Prairie, brother of
Rudolph Lee, publisher of the Long Prairie
Leader, is being urged to make the race.
Sank Centre citizens know the rugged
honesty and courage of Mr.. Lee; he has the
necessary quits to make decision on any
given proposition without keeping his con-
stituents in the dark for months with half
hearted promises. AS Congressman Mr.. Lee
would make his decisions promptly and in
diligently. His keen perception would make
it possible for him to grasp and solve public
questions quickly.
Mr.. Lee has long been associated with
the agricultural interests of Todd county; he
understands their problems and is in full
sympathy with them. He is the president
of the Minnesota Independent Bankers AS
ISOLATION, being the unanimous choice OF this
rapidly growing body of business men and
his heart is in true tune with the small, in
dependent merchant.
Harry has many qualifications which will
appeal to Mr.. Average Voter; he has fine
personality; he has unimpeachable integrity;
he is poor string" artist; his 'Yes'' would
mean yes; his "no' would mean no.
