seems
jamong the classics of the Ameri
can stage. Each year that it is
! presented it is witnessed by
audiences of increasing size. Its
popularity does not seem to give
indication of waning and eager
demands are made for return
engagements. One of the rea
sons for its tremendous popular
ity is that it is a play which
makes a universal appeal, not
only to the regular theatre goer,
but to that . element in every
community which is inclined to
look askance at the theatre and
which rarely attends a theatrical
performance. The power to give
to the world of art something
INew and Sublime is the Birth
Bight of Genius the true test
of royal blood that marks a
King of thought. Such is the
influence of "The Holy City."
The play is staged with great
magnificence, (the costuming is
rich and a. delight to the eye.

play is capable and efficient

" " Once Was Enough. k-
While seated on the top of the
stagecoach with the driver during
a trip from Silverton to Ouray years
ago a young easterner became ex-4
ceedingly nervous. As they were;
traveling calong a hillside, with ,a
ravine several hundred feet deep;
.-within., a couple of feet of the road,!
the young tenderfoot, suddenly,
turning to the driver, asked,- "Do;
people Jail ,over here very often V
. A. broad grin spread over the
driver's face as he rolled his wad of
.tobacco from one cheek to the otheri
and, looking up, with a merry twin-1
ue m ms eye, exciaunea, "jNaw;
only once."

bor for a combination of interests.
Concerning it the Springfield Republic
an says: , -
"This proposition Is based upon the
assertion : that the labor men are ill
treated, that the . farmers are -presumably,
so and that It would be for their
mutual interests to combine. Of course
such combination would be effective
principally In -the legislature.- What is
the practical. . proposition, therefore, -
a log roil or Japor and agricultural in
terests, with the idea that the two ele
ments would be able to secure the leg
islation desired by each wing. Very
likely, if such a combination wete to
be formed. It ,would come .very near
dominating . the legislature, . . jand the
politicians outside would have to. make
terms with them.
"But, as a competent 'observer of the
situation says,, the agricultural element
Is habitually conservative. The labor
element Is xadicaL It Is a question
whether any such combination would.
be entered Into by the farmers. In the
first place, the farmers are not trained
to .combination. -They are born Inde
pendent and they lire .Independently,
so much so that combination among
themselves Is .diiScuIt. They , general
ly propose in the legislature to act In
dividually about as they think right,
and. they are not accustomed. to com
bination unless they believe. It is right
On the face of It there is no more rea
son why the farmers should combine
with; the labor men than with .the man
ufacturers except upon the assumption
that they are equally downtrodden and
oppressed .classes, pad that Is not in
Massachusetts a sufficient basis for
such a combination." ;

. One of the most efficient forces for
the betterment of the farmers' condi
tion today is the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry, . commonly known as the
grange. - No other farmers' organiza
tion compares with it in actual accom
plishment; none claims superiority In
aims and purposes. The founders of
the Order forty years ago issued a
"declaration of purposes" which Is the
chief cornerstone on which' the great
grange superstructure has been erect
ed. They declare the purpose of this
organization of the farmers to be "to
develop a'' higher and better manhood
and womanhood among ourselves; to
enhance the comforts and attractions
of our homes and strengthen our at
tachments to pur pursuits. We pro
pose meeting together, buying togeth
er, selling together and, in general act-;
lng together for our mutual protection
xnd. advancement." . '. From- these de
clared purposes the grange has never
swerved, and today : where an active
grange exists there Is established a po
tent agency for the moral, social and
educational uplift of the -community.
