Shortage of Servant Girls.
The shortage of servant girls is
explained by the choruses in our
musical comedy, says a well-known
eastern writer, brings the reflection
that it would be well to get back to
legitimate entertainment and let
the girls come home to the kitchen,
where we need them more.
But the fact that it depopulates
our kitchens, pantries and laundries
is not the worst indictment against
musical comedy as an institution.
The truth is that, taken as a class,
musical comedy is not the most
elevating diversion for intelligent,
or even semi-intelligent, people.
It is mere animated and noisy scen
ery constructed about a center of
1 1 1.-1.1 1 .
arivei, ouut largeiv or girls wno
are strong enough to carry the cos-
tumings about, but whose natural
charms are not worth special atten
tion.
All the rest, the genuine and par
ticular ibeauties who can be hired
for $8 a week could easily be com
pressed into one musical cemedy,
which might be tolerable. But to
think that there are extant and mov
ing about the countrv no less than
19,756 musical comedies is appall
ing from the artistic standpoint, to
sav nothing of the economic and do
niestic.
Is this to be another season of
musical comedv? asks the lover of
the drama. Considering the statis
tics, we tear that it is. We could
wish that the girls would quit the
tage and organize employment bu
reaus. 1 nere are thousands or op
portunities in homes awaiting capa
ne gins w lie re tney could earn
more money, where the work is eas
ier and where thev could make far
more of a hit than in the back line
of a trifling show

Mr. McKillip is a graduate of the
Harvard law school. His prelimin
ary training was had at Creighton
college. As an orator his friends
claim that he is unequalled by any
democrat in the state with the ex
ception of Mr. Bryan. The phe
nomenal inscrease in land values of
the past few years have made him
one of the wealthiest men in Ne
braska, but despite his environ
inent he is said to be one of the
best mixers in the party. Should
he receive the nomination next
year, his advocates propose to have
him make something of the wrhirl
wind campaign which proved so
successful in the election of Mr.
Bryan to congress at the outset of
his career. His friends sav that he
will place $25,000 in the campaign
fund.
As evidence of the Humprey
man's ability, it is pointed out that
he lost only three votes in his home
precinct and that he carried Platte
county by '700 against McCarthy,
despite the fact that Roosevelt
electors received 400 majority, and
in the district Roosevelt had over
14000 majority, while that of Mc
Carthv was cut to less than 3000. 1
