THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. THURSDAY, JUNE I, 1905. Seniors Performed Like Old Stagers- The thorough training given them by Miss Annabel Swnrtz, ;eachcr of elocution in the High School, was demonstrated in every word and action in the presentation of the dramas by the members of the henior class at the Opera House Saturday evening. Kverybody who attended, and the house was crowd ed from gallery to footlights, was delighted with the entertainment. It would be impossible to pick out or distinguish the best characters, all were equally meritorious. The first part whi:h was intended as a curtain raiser, was a comedy in one act entitled "Parliament of Ser vants" Five women were represent ed applying for a position lor gen eral house-work and succeeded in driving the mistiess and her Iriend from her parlor, where the maids hold a meeting. There was a Ger man girl who wanted to be "teach ed," the Yankee girl who wanted to elevate the family, the Irish girl with the "bist of rifereuces, fori wrote urn mys.lf," and other types well kuowu to every housekeeper. The skit was designed to tickle the risibilities of the audience, and the hearty applause given was of the kind that always compensates merit. The idea and dialogue were truly both immensely funny. The above was immediately fol lowed by a two act comic drama, "Scrap of Paper," or "Adventures of a Love Letter." This was most pleasing. From the time the first ctaracter appeared on the stage, there was aroused an interest which was closely maintained until the insignificant but mischievous scrap ol paper was destroyed as the cur tain tell tor the last time amidst outbursts of merriment. The young peojle who composed the cast of characters were as fol lows: "A Parlament of Servants" Mrs. Seraphiua Gray, mistress of the house, Miss ICthel lives; Miss Angelina White, a caller, Miss Mae Hess; Mary O'Hooligan, Mrs. Gray's servant, Miss Pauline Drake; Trundel Schmidt, an appli cant, Miss Bessie Lemon; Isabel Estelle Darling, an applicant, dress ed in cheap imitation of the very latest style, Miss Irene Reimard; Hepzibali Stout, an applicant, very plainly dressed, Miss lithel Faust; Maggie Callaghan, applicant, Miss Evalyn Fly tin; Lydia Ann Porter, applicant, Miss Jessie Ruhl.

From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, May 35, 1905 The national puppet show has been brought to a close. In other words, the Senate committee on Interstate Commerce has concluded its hearings and adjourned, as was expected, without action. Rarely has a more pitiable spectacle been presented to the public gaze than that of Senator Elkins, Dolliver, Cullom, Kean, Foraker, Clapp and Millard pretending to conduct an investigation into the abvisability of railway rate legislation when every one of these men was, in reality, determined from the start to distort the facts and, nolens, volens, make it appear that there exists no occasion for remedial legislatiou. Had it net been too pitiable it would have been ridicu lous to observe the obsequiousness of the respective Senators to their masters. For instance, Senator Cullom talked very bravely and almost espoused the cause of the people until the president of the Illinois Central Railway appeared to testify. Then Mr. Cullom "heard his master's voice," and the scene was reiterated when the rep resentatives or the Armour Private Car Company appeared belore the committee. Senator Dolliver cringed belore the officials of thq Chicago, Burlington it (Juincy Railroad i and Senator Clapp was obsequious in his deference to J. J. Hill. As for Senators Elkins, Foraker and Kean, they were openly antagonis tic to every man who testified against the railways. Senator El kins sat throughout the hearing with a railroad man on either side of him, and obediently propounded the questions which they wrote out for him, while Senator Kean was barely short of insulting in his method of interrogating witness es who opposed the interests which he represents. Throughout the hearings daily reports have been furnished to every newspaper correspondent in Washington by two different re porters. These reports have been mailed daily to numerous newspa pers throughout tlu country. The reports were free, but anyone who experienced any curiosity as to who paid the expenses of preparing and distributing them need only have attended a session of the com mittee and theu compared the dis torted character of the reports, which in every instance elaborated, strengthened and supported the testimony favorable to the railroads and distorted, weakened and even altered, the evidence prejudicial to the contentions of the railroads to have satisFed his curiosity. Now that the hearings are con cluded Senator Kean has gor.e frankly to the President and urged him not to call Congress in special session, assuring him that it will do no possible good. The Presi dent is, however, determined to convene the Congress on October 16. although it is possible he may be d issuaded before the time conies. In any event, it is certain that no good will come out of the hearings just concluded. It is barely possi ble that there will be found suffi cient strength on the floor of the Senate to pass an effective rate bill in spite of the committee but that it can never be done with the as sistance of, nor without the violent opposition of, the committee is as ured. . Taere is a bare possibility that the committee will report a meas ure which will be passed without serious opposition by the Senate. It is held by some Senators that, in view of the public clamor for action, it might be wisest to pass a bill which must inevitably be pro nounced unconstitutional by the courts. Thi9viewis, at present, entertained only by a minority of WM. BOQERT, OF Cnndidntc for County Commissioner. NOKTII SUM-. fit-" ' the committee. The argument in its favor is that while appearing to respond ti the pub ic de:tiand, it could not injure the railroads and wheu declared unconstitutional by the courts that fact could be used as an argument that any legisla tion delegating the rate making power would be unconstitutional. The scheme is to confer on the courts, instead of on the Interstate Commerce Commission, the power to fix a maximum rate. Attorney General Moody, in an opinion which he submitted to the commit tee at its request, declared that Congress had the power to fix rates or to delegate that power to a com mission, but that were it to attempt to delegate that power to the courts which are a separate avd coordin- 1 ....... A ate branch of the government, it would be unconstitutional. An opinion on the latter point was not requested by the committee and no little displeasure was exhibited when it was found that Mr Moody had answered more questions than he had been asked, j Things are shaping themse'ves for a bitter tariff debate in the next Congress but with, apparently, little likelihood of action. "It will be another victory for the .standpatters over the President," j is the prediction of those who know. "And that will mean a sweeping victory for the Democrats a year from next November," reply the Democratic statesmen. It is prob ably unwise to attempt to make any predictiens at this time beyend the prophesy that there will un questionably be a lively debate on the tarifl schedules in the next ses sion of Congress. 1. . There is one significant feature of the tariff situation and that is that some of the protected interests are complaining that they are over protected. They atgue that over protection results in too much do mestic competition, the alluring prospects of inordinate profits had ing numerous competitors to enter the fields of their respective indus tries and, the trust managers naive ly add, "that means so much ex pense, buying out the little fellows." Kojal Arcanum Hoiua Representatives of the Grand Jur isdiction of Pennsylvania asked the Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum for the authority to create a home for aged and indigent mem bers, with power to levy a state tax in the order for maintenance A corporation to found a home has been formed, but the Massacluistts law under which the Royal Arcan um is chartered, leaves the matter of the sanctioning of benevolent institutions in doubt. To shorten School Hours- A serious effort to shorten school hours for the releif of small children will be made by the leading edu cators throughout the state. It is proposed to reduce hours of child ren in the first two years of primary instruction from five to three and a-half hours, it h urged thai such reform is 110 less in the interests of the teacher than the pupils, and that the effectiveness of the schools would not be lessened. , Hep tsj ' t 1 iyT'''iy'wffFWsPrlw " A. tit 0 SCOTT TOWNSHIP, SECOND TERM.
