. H. AULL, EDITOR. Intered at the Postoffice at New erry C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, March 30, 1906. The Herald and News does not know much about the whiskey busi neds or the business of the dispensary. In fact it might be said that we know nothing about it. But being a citi Yen of the state and therefore slight ly interested in the whiskey business done by the state we presume to mnake inquiry. We have not the fguires or the pa pers before us but we have a faint recollection that the investigation committee appointed by the legisla ture to look into the management of the dispensary in addition to sundry other things discovered that the state hand more whiskey on hand than the law permitted. In fact we believe the law says the stock must be kept down to some $400,000 and they found that there was somewhere albsut a million dollars' worth of' liquor on hand and] they ordered the commissioners to withhold payient or something to that effect iand the present board passedI resolutions to eooperate with the investigation committee. The in vestigation committee also furnished the board with a list of whiskey deal ers who were under suspicion by them and from whom no whiskey was to be bought. The new board, however, with this big stock of goods onl hand, according to the reports purchased "12,000 barrels of whiskey and brandy, 12 ears of beer, 4,425 cases of case goods. It would take two trains of 25 cars each to handle (lie bulk of the entire purchal. Now if the dispensary is overstocked anl.] the payment of what is already bought is to be withheld why purchase more whiskey. Why not sell what is ('1n hand before purchasing so mueh more goods. Why not pay for what has been bought before purchasing more goods. That seems to us to he a pertinent question. If it is not we do not insist on it. We do not understand how the commission ean withold payment for the goods ordered by those who were Ilithorized to make the order. The appr11-opriatlioll for rural deliv ery. proviled iln the bill anow before congress. is $28,000,000. 'Thiq is an incresase of $3,000,000 over last year' and is evidenlee that tle propmsall to hamper this branch of' the depart ment lis failed. As the State its all along mtailitailled, thae govern Iment eil do nio greater benefit to the people of the whole country than in tile generous extension of' the rra ' maal delivery service. It is ai great ('dulentor.

That is an enor'moius i4um, bult uaalike the othter groat appropriat ions, mo1(st of it is4 returned( to the t reaLsury.--The ~tate. We copy the abiove to give it our hearty endorsement. "'The govern mencat (enn d1o no4 greater beneflt to the " people of (lie wholE' counttry than in the gene(rous e~xttnsion of' the rural mail delivery service," bears repeat i ng. And yet we fear somiethnecs that the peopleo of the ruaral districts do not apprlcCialte this service as they should. Onl some( of' the routes evenl ~' ill eher county, you will flnd people who do not take either one of their county papers. It would pay themion to subscribe for both rather than lose the service of thle mail (even if' tohe papers were' not worth t.he mnonley chtarged.

B. C. Whitney's "Isle of Spice." In riehness of costume, stage .roupings and stage settings, beauty imd grace of chorus and tihe mechani cal effects, the ''Isle of Spice, which will be presented at the Opera Ilouse, Saturday, March 31st., will far execl tiny similar production ever offered at this theatre. Money has been lavishly expended in the matter of costumes for this musical extrav aganza, and the piece is staged in iplendid style. The light effects are original and startling. The female I members of the company have been f selected with much care, and they are i not only pretty of face and figure, I but rich in voice. The leading ladies of the company are: Miss Leslie Leigh and Miss Mat tie Martz. Miss Leigh is a cute Miss with a beautiful soprano voice, which she has iany opportunities for us ing during the performance. Miss Martz is both pretty and graceful, and is sure to lie a favorite with the audience from her 6rst appearance. IIer voice is exceedingly clear and sweet, and when she sings, every indi vidual inl the alience will sit up and take notice. Sim Mylie is the leading fini mak er with i tlle "Isle of Spice, '' an1d is a huge success in his role of* King Bomtpopka, which gives him many opportutilnities to conivulse his audi enee with laughter. IIis fondness for draw poker, with the assistanee of the other two comedians, Herbert Cawthorn and Ilarry Watson, causes much trouble to himself and great fun to the audience.
