A law years ago a little St. Louis girl,
fainfaced and sweet-voiced, with fluffy
blonde hair and large dark eyes, appeared
as the Midshipmite in “I’iuafore,” that
cum and 8ullivan opera which has been
murdered by so many amateurs and sung
by no many professionals.
She made a successful debut and her
friends predicted that if she went on the
stage (which of course she wouldn’t) she
would some day appear in the great play-
houses of the city as a star. That is the
kind of prophecy that usually attends
every amateur of more than ordinary
ability and frequently those of no ability
at all; but in this case the prediction has
been verified. Thedainty “Midshipmite,”
that filled her friends with admiration at
her first appearance, is now Miss Della
Fox, the successful star who is singing in
the “Little Trooper," under the capable
management of Mr. Nat Ruth.
The opera opened the season at the
tonino, which for many years, in fact al-
mostsince the famous days of “ Inninie,”
has been in hard luck. The “Little
Trooper,” achieved an instant success,

VENTION AND ITS lN-
CALCULABLE BENEFITS.
The Hon. A. s. Hewitt Gaye it is Easier
For a Tramp to Get a Living in the
World ‘l'o-day Thai: for an Honest Man
One Hundred Years Ago.
If people were not allowed to get the ad-
vantage which comes to prosperity from
growth of population, population would
go somewhere else where the operation of
its growth would be advantageous to the
people. The first principle of the Consti-
tution of the United States is the right of
a man to control his own actions subject
only to his not interfering with the
rights of other men to control their own
actions. Now what is the first right of an
individual?
It is to work in any direction to which
he may see fit to direct his energies, and
if he Works he works for the purpose of
producing something, and that something
is property. Therefore, the essence of in-
dividual liberty is the right to property.
Now, the right to have property involves
and requires the right to organize for the
protection of property, and hence associa-
tion llulll of employers and of those who
are recipients of wages. lint the right to
associate for the protection of property
does not give the right tointurfuro with
those who do not choose to associate
themselves for that purpose. This prin-
ciple is absolutely embedded in the Con-
stitution of the United States.
During the last twenty years there has
been a disposition on the part of public
men to overlook this fundamental princi-
ple and to yield to clamor.
This is t he golden age of mankind. Don’t
be misled by the far-1, that tin re is misery
and suffering in the world. 'l‘lu-rc is; but
it is cash-r for a trump to get a living in
this World to-day than it was a hundred
years ago for an honest man.
