His address was a clear, definite, concise statement of his stand on many of the important state questions now before the people. He made a strong argument in favor of the budget system in state finance. He said that fundamentally the new tax law was right, but that it needed amendments giving the local authorities ■'more power. . ' He favored the appointment of women upon many of the boards of control in the state* ‘ For eighteen years he has been a trustee of Indiana university and is now the president of that board.

The address was dignified in every particular and made a most exi cellent impression upon all who heard it. I ' '

MISS NEILSON’S ADVICE.

Miss Constance Neilson, who, plays the Hawaiian “A NIGHT IN HONOLULU,” which comes to the Ellis Opera House this evening, is a young woman who has made her way on the stage by careful study. Players are often asked about how to get on the stage, and how to succeed after they have managed to secure an engagement. It stems a <l® eß " tion which is always being asked by folks outside the theatre. The inevitable question was put to Miss Neilson and the interviewer found the young lady had very definite and set ideas on the subject of her profession The only and practical fpgy for one ambitious to learn the ways of the stage is to -“aet” ®aid Miss Neilson. The various schools of acting may be well enough m their way, but my observation of their graduates has been that they are harder to- fit into a role than a person who' has had no training ht all. The Stock Company is the best school which can be found in the country today, while there is little chance fori study and characterization, still it does give, the student the opportunity to study and see the result certain intonations have on audiences.' Getting -to know the temper of an , *°dience proved my greatest difficulty, rinding our audience and, forcing response from i.t is one great secrets of winning success.
