TRAVEL WITHIN the ReAess OF ALL

AL You w
mean to stand in the great places of the
earth? Travel, with it's possibilities OF
culture and education, is now practicable
for those OF modest income as we'll as the
fortunate few, by means of the
Underwood Travel System.
This system is. travel of the truest
kind. yet it does not, utilize either ship or
railroad. Such a statement Is so extra
ordinary as to seem at first unbelievable,
but many have proved its truth. To ex-
p~erience sensations OF pleasure or pam IN
the presence Of famous objects and places
which inspire thoughts and produce states
of feeling enriching life and adding tc hap
piness is 70 travel truly. BY making use
of a simple scientific principle, and spend
ing twenty years in it's development, there
has been perfected the means of actually
securing right in ones home these, very
experiences and benefits. which actual
travel gives.
: DR.. James H. Breasted, of .C,-'slgo Uni
~versity. says: "By this means the joys
of travel are extended to that large class
of our people who thirst for an acqualnt-
ance with the distant lands of other .ges,
but are prevented by the expense in-
volved, or by the responsibilities OF home,
business or profession"

markable system, and strong endorsements

The Clansman,' which will be pre-
scented by the Tri-City Press club at
the Burtis, Davenport. next Tuesday
afternoon and evening. is unlike all
other plays of the American drama.
Its situations are absolutely novel and
the characters comprise types never
before shown on the stage. 1t is dar-
ing, fearless play. and one that en-
crosses the rapt attention of the audi
tor from beginning to end. Such a
sensational success is rarely ever
achieved in any field of eEdeavor. If
the theaters of the country We're twice
their present size they would not be
large enough TO hold the people who
are anxious to. see this great play
The lesson of this is plain, and the re-
suit is that all seats are often sold
days before the date of the engage
ment
1t seems to be an undeniable fact
that the American public prefers a
happy ending in a play. So strong is
this feeling that many times a play has
been rewritten and the logical sad end
ing was made a happy one before sue
cess was attained In the case of The
Clansman" the ending is happy and
that is the logical ending. So as it
happens the auditor is sent away from
the theater in a happy frame of mind.
and yet the play is written on logical
lines 1t is seldom the case that a
play of such impressiveness and pow
er, dealing with a tremendous prob
lem, ends in so pleasing manner.
When the TIi-City Press club decid-
ed TO bring to the tri-cities The Clans
man" the club also wrote to Thomas
Dixon. .Ir.. author of the play, express
/ ing the pleasure it would feel in en-
tertaining Mr.. Dixon should he come

the play next Tuesday evening. 1t has

Washington, Jan. s. The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce has decided to defy the
senate in connection with all light
house measures and similar bills
which must be passed on by the com
mittee. 1t has been the practice CT
the house to frame these measures
in such way that a sum of money
not specified, but not to exceed
certain amount, is to be used for the
particular Improvement. The senate
invariably has changed such bills so
that they appropriate a fixed amount.
This system is regarded by the mem
