Among the new plays produced
this season none has received 80
much favorable comment and uni

ma by Alice NJ. Smith which will
serve TO bring Florence Roberts. the
clever emotional actress, to the la

Miss Roberts is said TO be particu-
larly well fitted in the leading role
of The Strength Of the Weak. =
which is Of more than ordinary in
terest To playgoers in that she Great
ed the part when the PLAY was first
produced. Her work as an emo
tional actress is too well known for
comment. but in this latest produc-
tion the clever actress has quite the
most pretentious part of her very
successful career. The Strength Of
the Weak" will provide an innoya-
ton So far as theme and dramatic
construction are concerned. The
story is up-to-date and the charac-
tiers are all natural. leading through
splendid dramatic situations to a
perfectly natural denouement. Max

Mr.. Rockefeller expounds our duty
To the Deity by saying that our
requirements are only as He hath
given Us ability To do" OF course
our abilities vary. Some of US are
able 10 do the whole United States.
and some must be content with doing
a small fraction of the community.
while others regard themselves sue
cessful if they can do their immediate
neighbor. We think Mr.. Rockefeller.
who seems to speak for the Deity.
will grant the assurance Of the Lord S
favor if we do" the best We can
according to our cramped opportuni-
ties, for opportunities as well as
abilities must be taken into account.

The Holly-Swink sugar beet peo-

An automobile got stuck in the
mud in the Holbrook country one
day this week. and two four horse
teams were required to drag it out
of the mirc. 1t is said that the mud
in the Holbrook country. caused by
the flooding of roads. is something
fierce. Traffic by the usual methods
of locomotion is almost impossible.
and il is reported that the school
teacher at the Bee Hive has threat
ened TO resign unless she is provided
with a boat or a flying machine
What is the matter with the road
overseer in that district? He ought
to get busy. There is a law against
the flooding of roads. and as soon as
some of the violators are given a
good stiff fine they will probably
cease to forget to remember.

OF the American Medical Association
was opened in Mechanics Hall. the
gathering Of doctors from ali over the
country being called to order by PresI-
dent Lewis McMurty. Several thousand
members were In atten lance at the
opening hour. and hundreds more were
arriving by each train that reached the
city.
A sensation was sprung at yesterdays 5
meeting Of the house of delegates when
resolutions We're passed condemning the
American meat packers for their meth
DDS OF preparation and selection OF
meats for public consumption, in-
dOrsing the pure food and drug bills
now before Congress. and strongly In
dorsing the movement initiated by the
New York Legal Aid Society for the
suppression of qUackery and charata>
tanism and the manufacture and sale
Of harmful patent medicines.
This places the American Medical As
soCistiOn on record for the first time
regarding these abuses which have re-

eye.
In introducing the resolutions. DR..
Charles A. Reed. chairman OF the legis-
lative committee. said
mo legislator can explain his oppO-
sition to the measure on any theory
consistent with either intelligence or
honesty. This fact becomes all the
more important, all the more signifc-
