"THE BLINDNESS OF VIRTUE" "The blindness of- Virtue," an

English pte'-y with a distinctly English atmosphere, and written by an emmi-nent English playwright, will appear at the Victor1 opera, house, Little Falls, Saturday, maV-inee and night.

Cosmo Ham ilton, the author of this widely discussed problem play, is ranked as a wr.iter of rare attainment. He has written shoals of plays and shelves of novels., has edited the World and has helped in the making of musical comedies. An earnest and purposeful play i.ike "The Blindness of Virtue," is a i'ar cry from a song show like. "The Belle of Mayfair," but they are included in his long list of titles. He had ne v.er scored a re­sounding hit of intei 'national propor­tion, either in the c\rama or novel until he launched "The, Blindness of Virtue," but by the aiuazing success scored by this drama he \ may be said to have at last arrived.

BID HIGHER THAN ALLOWS TO BB

The board of public works

r j ORDINANCB^/^

met: Wednesday evening at the city hall to? receive bids on the First street north^ sewer to connect with the new high .i-gchpdl. There was but one bid, that ot'A S. rebby, in the sum of $1,700. ABiSp there is an ordinance at the present^ time which does not allow a licensed plumber to make connections where ,, the cost is above $1.40, the bid was re- y jected.

The ordinance, however, has been ^ referred to the city attorney for in-terpretation, as to whether the same r also applies to a contractor. Others re-fused to bid on the job as they state that the sewer, an 18-inch, cannot be put in for a price as low as $1.40 per. foot. The sewer is to be approximately 750 feet long.

It is likely that an amendment to the ordinance or the repeal of it will be taken up at the council meeting Monday evening so as to enable the board to proceed in the matter.

State Board of Control Wants Repr^ sentatives in Morrison County

The state board of parole'has been-engaged for some time in organizing^ a Prisoners' Aid society, for the state of Minnesota. The initial steps were taken last winter, when letters were/ . addressed to every member of the ltfg/ islature asking for suitable men j A every legislative district who wou id volunteer to act as members of tl lis society. The work has now p di­gressed so far as to be nearly re j,dy tb be put into operation. Dr. S . G. Smith, who has had charge of v or­ganizing the work of this "depart? jient, in speaking of it said: /

"We are extremely anxious-tc. / have representatives in every county .bf' the state, but they must be men c jt " re­sponsibility and particularly the right temperament. The r Jen on parole often need the friend [y coun­sel of a man who understand ,s human nature and especially "of a r ian who believes in human nature J Large numbers of these prisoners * are not bad men at heart, but, by reason of unfortunate circumstances i or bad habits, have fallen into cr' jme. A lit­tle volunteer sympathy r md wisdom will often keep them in tb e right path. It is impossible for the p aid agents of the state to visit the man -as frequently as is desirable, and, besi |es, there is a certain work, that can ^ be donfr volunteer service that < jan never be done by any paid agenr whatsoever. " About fifty counti< js have already

furnished volunteers. £1$ is desirable that every county in J

6he state be cov­ered. It is not antici pated that any volunteer agent will have more than one man whom he if / supposed to be­friend, nor is it exy ,ected that he will be the employer of the man, but rath­er that he will m get him on human grounds and assist if there is any dif­ficulty between th p man and his em­ployer or if there is any danger in his moral surroundin gs. it is not a heavy burden, ar ,d should engage the best efforts of 1 ;he best-citizens. The state board of ? jarole will be extreme-, ly glad if men jn the various ' coun­ties who are w illing to serve in this-capacity will ^ report to their own members of t" ae legislature and have their names f jent in to the board of parole. The board will' then com­municate wiJ -h the individuals,. giving them directi |ns as to what is ^expected
