The proposition of having all campaign contributions made public is again receiving public attention, and the movement should receive the support of every citizen who is interested in fair elections and a pure and uncorrupted ballot. It may be true that money has not cut so much figure in the elections of the past as people are wont to believe, but if the pmtributions are made public and the manner in which the money is expended is also made public, there will be no room for speculation as to how the money was obtained or how it was spent. Such a law will remove all grounds for wrong impressions And wrong accusations. Th? money feature of the national, state. County and city campaigns should be given the widest publicity.—Columbia City Post. The sooner it shall become generally understood that the politics of this country is to be shaped and controlled by people who do not aim to make a living out of politics, the better it will be for all concerned. Ry this is meant that people who are not in politics for “what there is in it," but for the purpose of securing wholesome government and faithful pubiij service, are to be dominating factors. . Popular self-government cannot »* adjudged a real success so long as public affairs are dominated by purely selfish interests. Politics that does not have for its chief object the general welfare is a misnomer, a misfit, a perversion, an abuse of power.—South Bend Times. Louis Hunt, formerly manager of the Portland base ball team, who recently disposed of his interest in the Baker & Hunt pool room, left on the afternoon train Friday for Van Wen, Ohio, where he will manage the base ball team for the coming season. Mrs. Hunt and two children left Friday noon for Elwood to visit her mother, Mrs. Josephine Mack and will join Mr. Hunt in Van Wert the first of the week. —Portland Commer-cial-Review.

“PETER PAN’’ AT MAJESTIC. “Every man with the heart of a boy is a Peter Pan.” This sentence ex plains the remarkable popularity of J. M. Barrie s great play, • Peter Pan” which Charles Fiohman will present at the Majestic theater at Fon Wayne on Friday and Saturday, and Saturday matinee. Peter Pan has matked an epoch in the drama among Englishspeaking peoples The popular love for it seems to increase rather than to diminish. For five years it has been a prime favorite with theater goers in London and the English provines. and in America it is now in its third year of record-breaking favor. It was thought that Mr. -Barrie had reached the high water mark of his popularity with American play goers in the success of his “Little Minister.” But Peter Pan far outstrips “The Little Minister.” A positively new note has been struck by Mr. Barrie in Peter Pan. whimsical and fanciful as this author always is. It is not too much to say that no man except Mr. Barrie could write Peter Pan. It really seems that he has discovered “Something new under the sun." No one has ever seen a play like Peter Pan. It is in a class entirely by itself. Its atmosphere is one of gentle, wholesome optimism, its message one of the blithest given to man. There is a stimulus for the mind and a fillip for the blood in every line and in every action in it. Tq miss it is nothing short of a misfortuneCharles Frohman from the time that he received from Mr. Barrie the manuscript of Peter Pan saw its beauty and possibilities and has given to it a most sympathetic interest in presenting it on the stage. Mr. Frohman and Mr. Barrie have been most unusually rewarded, the manager for his courage in staging Peter Pan and Mr. Barrie in writing it Mr. Frohman will give local theater goers as careful a production of Peter Pan as those at the Empire theater.
