GRAND RAPIDS
OPERA HOUSE
A Madison Friend Of REPORTER
Make Suggestion to City
Fathers.

PORTER has just come to hand, and
in reading the contents it is found
that suggestion is made therein
that may prove of more than passing
interest. We publish it as follows
withholding the name of the writer
as requested:
MADISON, Wis.
Grand Rapids is city of about
1000 people and can boast of her fine
residences, business places, factories,
churches and above all, the high
standard of excellency of her educa-
tional institutions One thing she
lacks, however, and is in great need
Of, is a new and up-to.date opera
house. The city is large enough to
support a good opera house, and it is
considered good show town for the
right kind of plays, but the right
kind and the best plays will not make
the city as long as we have no suitable
place for them to show in.
The thought occurred to me that
while the question of erecting new
fire engine house and police station is
being agitated, it might be we'll for
the city council to consider the advis-
ability of combining these with an
opera house.
Land for such a purpose could be
purchased at reasonable price FROM
Mr.. Arpin on First street, and either
one or the other could be faced on the
one street, and the others on the
other, and all built under the one
roof. We believe building such as
is suggested could be erected at a
cost not to exceed 5000, and the
city could lease at a profit, the opera
house part of the building, or the city
could appoint some capable party to
manage. the same and derive the
benefit.
In Stoughton we understand they
have a combination such as we sug-
gest. The opera house part of this
building is rented to person who
manages the theatrical business.
Stoughton is a place of only 1900
people and the enterprise seems to
pay there.
This proposition might be taken up
by the council with profit. In any
event the discussion of the subject
could do no harm.

TELEPHONE RATES WILL
BE CONSIDERED MONDAY
THREE COUNCIL ABSENTEES
BLOCK LEGISLATION
At Noon, In Committee Of the Whole,
Sunset and Home Phone Prices
Will Be Determined If an Agree
ment Is Possible

No action for the regulation of tele-
phone rates was taken at the meeting
of the committee of the whole Of the
city council yesterday morning, because
Councilmen Summerland, Ford and
Houghton did not put in an appearance
at the meeting.
Although there was sufficient num-
ber Of the city legislators present for
a quorum they did not care to assume
the responsibility of rate regulation un-
less all went on record.
An adjournment was taken until IL
o'clock Monday. when the committee
of the whole will meet between council
sessions and fix the rates.
1t Is not probable that there will be
any change from the rates now exist
ing.
The city attorney yesterday rendered
an opinion that the council had the
power to do what it chose with rates,
Notwithstanding existing franchises
and that it can fix one rate for one
company and another for the other
company.
This is expected to be the action Of
the council.
The Sunset company charges IS a
month for business telephones, while
the Home Telephone company asks
but So.
The difference is said to be due to the
fact that the Sunset has a further
reaching long distance system than the
Home company and that 1t is conse-
quently more valuable to business men
on this account.

Larger christ"--Unless chrls-
tans Grow and Progress

The Los Angeles district Epworth
league convention was closed yester-
day afternoon with a large amount of
work accomplished, at the Westlalxe
Methodist church.
DIR. Lehman Lowder, the retiring
president and newly elected secretary
OF the league, was chairman.
At the morning session yesterday the
devotional service was led by DIR. A.
w. Atkinson, followed by an address
on Junior League Work" by Mrs. d.

and Emory Foster gave cornet solo.
AT the closing session the devotional
service was led by Rev. E. A. Healy.
Prof. T. G. Knowles delivered force
full address on christian Education"
which was followed by an eloquent ad-
dress by Mrs. ]. d. Burch.
Rev. Alfred Inwood, pastor of the
Boyle Heights Methodist church,
preached forceful sermon from the
topic, "a Larger Christ" the words
of his text being, "He must increase,
but must decrease" He said in part:
"A Larger Christ"
Sometimes the words of a speaker
have a larger, deeper meaning than he
himself intends. Here it was q loving
testimony to Christ. To us the words
mean more. They hold in them the
great principle of the religious life;
viz: that all spiritual growth depends
on the largeness of Christ in our life.
''The spiritual life, like all life, Is
under law. Everywhere certain things
must be done, certain conditions met,
for life to be, and to remain. Nothing
is haphazard in nature, nor indeed in
any life around us. We are under the
dominion of law. Under 1t for the
body, for the mind, for the spiritual
life. Too often this spiritual life is
regarded as haphazard; but law is as
imperative here as elsewhere. So
broken spiritual life is as disastrous as
broken physical life. and the contrary
is equally true.
"And the law of life everywhere is
increase Look out on nature again.
What does she say to you? 1t is that
life must show itself In increase.
Everywhere the great fact is growth,
and this Is the test and proof of life.
Not to grow Is to be either dead or
dying.
Life, then, here can be divided and
measured. If we are not growing
Christians, then we are dying or dead
ones.
"The increase may be rapid or slow.
That Is determined by the character
and constitution of the growing thing,
and by the life forces coming into it."

BECAUSE BRANDS ARE GOOD
The Old Plantation DistiIIIng Company
Again Increases Its Busl-
ness Facilities

That square dealing and up-to-date
business methods will always win in
the end, is fully exemplified in the
case of the Old Plantation Distilling
company, with offices at 10S-110 South
Broadway. Eighteen months ago the
company opened an office at 10S South
Broadway but within a short time the
rooms were found to be too small and
the adjoining rooms on the north were
rented.
Realizing the future In store for Los
Angeles, Messrs. Henry Laub, presi-
dent and Edward Mansbach, secretary
and treasurer of the company, respec-
lively, decided to open headquarters in
this city.
Backed by sufficient capital to meet
every emergency, provided with brands
of whisky and other liquors of national
reputation, and possessed of the ex-
perience which is necessary in dealing
with discriminating public, the firm
entered the Los Angeles liquor field
prepared to make a successful bid for
large patronage.
And yet it is safe to say the business
enjoyed at the present time is fully
five times what the owners expected
1t would be.
Among the most prominent brands
of whisky distilled and sold by the
company are Old Platonic and Old
Plantation. These have not only met
the requirements of the California
trade, but both brands are popular. One
of the things which the firm points to
with pride, is a barrel of whisky dis
titled in 1881, making it 25 years of age.
1t has been tested by the government
and pronounced to be all that is claimed
for 1t. The liquor occupies the original
package and those who have been for
tunate enough to taste its contents pro-
nounce it the finest every brought to
California.
