tET tJS HAVE THE
HEN .ONCE JAMES WITHYCOMBE take
thing- tor granted not even official j-ecord
... can cpnvinoe bini that lie is in error. , Early
In the campaign he declared that Governor Chamberlain
"Should" bavevetoedhemniida"lot!arrppropriation
bill in time for .correction by the legislature. Mr. Withy
rombe wai at once referred td"the record, which show
that the bill did not reach the governor until three days
ifter theteglSl.IUre had adjourned,'
jo make the expected impression. - The campaigners
nearly over, and Mr.' Withycombe is still insisting' that
Governor j Chamberlain could have vetoed the bill in
question before it came into his hands. .Perhaps great
white .light dazzles Mr, Withycombe; causing him to
close his eyes' as truth approaches.. Judge, his fairness
by the following .exfractiranv the speech .heseliTer
ing All over Ihe.sUte: . . . J. -

Trispection. TfiaFXiTrshould never have passed muster.
If GdvefriOr Chamberlatfr1id "beerr -
if be had stood up and interposed his executive power
. by exercising his. right of veto, that-bill would never
have gone to the people.The people did right in refer-
:-tnding that bill,-but where-his should have been done
. . was in his veto,, and -it should have been checked in
its incipiency. . Governor Chamberlain should have ve
toed that bill so that it would have been thrown back
en the legislature to have been corrected, and things
would have gone1 on smoothly." II, i. . '
r:V; Mr. - Withycombe is hopeless.-therefore when "we re
. . peat the facts it is not in the expectatiorrBf nllg1itening
him, but of provipg to others that he is wrong.' The
legislative combine, which Mr. Withycombedmits ex
isted, held back the "million dollar" appropriation ""bill
until the last day of the session. This wa$ done. in the
- - belief thatrfcthe-bill' reached : Governor . Chamberlain
J after the'1egislalufehad' adjourned tewouldTnotr dare
to veto it even though it carried an emergency clause,
when such veto would leave state institutions without
money for two years. On the last "dayof ther session,
while' the bill was still in the senate watching the clock,
the governor sent a message to the legislature to the
. - effect that come what may he would Veto- the bill if
that emergency clauselwere not dropped. The combine
spent hours in plotting, but finally surrendered. It was
late in the day before the bill in amended form finished
hs journey through both houses." The governor did not
receive it until three days later, which face surely makes
it plain to every one, unless Mr. Withycombe be a pos
, . sible exception,, that the legislature and not "the chief
executive was to blame. . .'
Mr. Withycombe , does not stopwith one error. In
the speech to which reference is made he lurther says:
. "Every . employe of the state's institutions has been
Obliged td take their certificates tothe' bankjndlgtt

Suppose Salem, for instance, should conclude to own

-THE PLAY
Thsre's a thrill in svsry 11ns bf "Hands
Across the Sea." but the thing Is to get
It out The Baker stock company yes
terday did not get It out,
In the first place,' "Hands Across the
Beat' Is a Lo-tO-SO melodrama. It Is not
a play for ths patrons of the Baker. . In
the second place a capable company put
It onTa company far" tor capible-for the
play,. a company which, evidently, waa
not Interested enough in the production
to produce tt with care.
"There sri nvg arts and ten sveiifs In
"Hands Across the Bea." The Bret act
Is a "Hesvea-hslp-me-chlld" sort or a
proposition. Into which- thers are Intro.
duced three villains. In ths second set
a fourth villain la Introduced, and theae
four -work night and day to .give tne
double cross to a noble-browed and
broad-ehouldered hero who has nothing
him-keep from being bung for murder
and enabls him to escape from prison.
llvs through a storm at sea In an open
bott, get picked up by the same, steamer
that carries his wife, denounce tbe four
villains and triumph generally.
In the third act yeaterday a eurtam
was raised too quickly. ' It disclosed to'
view a pretty stage picture ithat r

fore hsd been repeating noble sent!-

suae hands with a aort of
why-th'-hsll-don't-you" expression. The
disillusionment was instant and perfect.
At the end of the aame act the front
curtain stuck in ths middle of the slide
and spoiled another stsge picture. At
the end or another scene fed gar uaume

pretty mouth more than was called for

a har

supposed to get his, somebody - forgot
their.ijn Jiftw to gtys It to him, and Esmelton
wslkeq. clear across ins stage ana aa
ministered ths knockout when hs ought
not to have don so. Ths members' of
ths Baker stock company are still frsn-
Ueally ptirsilwg-h heedoo--hs'

But the Dlay la -good.-foe- Ma -ktnev,
Lillian Lwrenc and Edgar Bauma do
good work. Jdsrgaret Neville doss a
bit of chsrscterlsatlon that Is superb.
only her costumes are ' nstupt th
scratch. John Salnpolla turns out the
best work of ths production, and In the
last act bursts forth In pained surprise
and tempestuous anger at ths dUcovery
of his betrayer thst brings down u
house. Donald Bowles la a deep-dyad
villain this week. He tried his hardest
to.be a vlllsln, but couldn't which, by
th way. Isn't ssylnc anythfnrharsh
about, Bowles. Its up to th manage
ment to give him a part autted to his
capabilities
But than there is a tnnu every minute
In "Hands Across ths Sea," there are ISO
mlnutss ot the play, and at the rteof
admission .there are three and three
nfths thrills for a cnt. Th plsy will
thrill all weak If Baume can successfully
contend against four villains for that
