The trend of styles is pretty well understood
1t is the character Of the INDIVIDUAL SUIT in

material color and other features of the suit.
And there is where this store pre-emnently leads.
Every suit every jacket every skirt possesses strong
est merit-DIFFERENT from the ordinary. ,
In other words is the HIGHEST TYPE of ap-
parel-INDIVIDUALIZED.
That is because Keith O f3rien buys the beside
mands the most accepted style features-nsists upon
skilled workmanship and finest quality in fabric.
Women recognize these potent characteristics and

Just what a of refined taste WANTS-at the

An Artistic Actor, Clever Supporting

More Publicity Demonstrated by the

From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
What a pity that as capable an actor
as Creston Clarke proved himself to
be last night in THE Power That Gov
.erns' has not some. other manager,
some one who realizes the benefits of
publicity sufficient to advertise. the
merits of the production that he may
secure such an audience asthe is en-.
titled to perform before.
The Power That Governs delight
ed the Billings people who witnessed
it. The play, itself, Is not a very
strong vehicle, but it is presented by
an actor, who is an artist, and a sup
porting company that is more than
capable. There is a strain Of heart in
terest throughout that holds atten-
ton O. sthe listener and assists in maxi
ing the production entertaining.
It was written by Adelaide Prince,
the wife Of Mi. Clarke. The scene is
laid in mountains Of old Mexico,
where a wealthy New Yorker goes
with his daughter, son, some friends,
and a niece on a pleasure trip. It is
the desire Of the uncle to have his
son wed his niece. The girl is a SUI
perior parsonage, while the son is q
helpless sop. She meets with an &C
cident in the hills and is rescuer by
a native young man; with whom she
falls in love. Around the love story
of the two the play is written. The
uncle had been in the west in his
early life, and had left a wife and son
there. The gallant native proves to
be that son, the uncle recognizes him
and he marries his sweetheart.

disappearance of my father anf

destinies of Portugal.

mended a revision Of the constitu

vidual rights, a new electoral lay
fixing the rights Of suffrage, the re
vision Of the DEGREES promulgated b
ex-Premier Franco and M. Rigid, an
careful methods of finance whereof
the country could be placed on a NOR
economical footing. At the conclusio
of the kings speech the members 6
the cortes broke out into cries 9

Detroit, Mich, April 29.-Two evils
menace America today, said Governor
John A. johnson Of Minnesota, in q
lecture tonight on THE Majesty Of
the Law" before the Alumni associa-
ton Of the Western High school,
They are. he said, the Capitalization
Of power in the federal government
and the Capitalization Of business
power in the hands Of a few men.
Executives, too, are frequently
governed by expediency," he said
''Expediency is always fraught with
danger. The political organization
which disregards expediency and
sticks to a principle is the one which
accomplishes results. America has be
come a great world power. Her prog
ress has been phenomenal. It ha:
!! brought a system of Capitalization O
power. Instead Of q government BY
the people and for the people it seems
to be becoming a government by PEG

enfranchised by the people to do
quasi public business.
"Some things have happened In tn
last few years which seem to indicat
that a few men are trying to contro
everything. We have now In TIL
country an oligarchy as great as VA
the oligarchy Of Rome. It is the o.
garchy Of business. The men VIII
are responsible are making a mistake
And l think they will be called to az
count soon.
"There is q demand by certai
people that there be more centralizs

dence as to campaign contributions

rome had refused to produce the min
utes unless asked to do SO by a Judge

become aware of what the minutes
contained unless he had access to
them. #s24

other matters"
