commentator for an extension of the
parcel post on the rural routes. The
establishment of local parcel post on
rural routes would be to the mutual
benefit of the farmer and the country
storekeeper, and it is desirable that
the routes, serving more than 10000
600 people. should be utilized to the
full est practible extent. An amend
ment was proposed in the senate at
the last session, at the suggestion of
the postmaster general, providing that,
for the purpose Of aScertaining the
practibiity of establishing a special
local parcel post system on the rural
routes throughout the United States,
the postmaster-g general be authorized
and directed to experiment and report
to the congress the result of such ex-
pertinent by establishing a special 10
cal parcel post system on rural deliv-
cry routes in not to exceed four coun-
ties in the United States for packages
of fourth-class matter originating on
a rural route or at the distributing post
office for delivery by rural carriers. 1t
would seem only proper that such an
experiment should be tried in order to
demonstrate the practibility Of the
proposition, especially as the postmast
general estimates that the revenue
derived from the operation Of such
system on a the rural routes would
amount to many million dollars.
Education.
"The share that the national gov
eminent should take in the broad work

ADJUSTMENTS
Florence Roberts.

To the biggest house Of the year,
Florence Roberts in the House of
Bondage" was presented at the Keyior
Grand last night, and to most of those
who saw the play, it proved a disap-
pointment. The play is cumbersome
in its writing has too little action and
to much talk and gives Florence Rob-
erts little chance to show what kind
of an actress she really is. The tai
ented actress is popular here, but it
would be refreshing if she should ap-
pear in a play worthy of her.
THE House of Bondage should
never have been staged. 1t Jacks en-
tirely the movement necessary to
success. is too ''talky," and presents
its problems in a way that is not vital
nor convincing. The lines them
selves are clever and would make ex-
ce lent reading, but by the production
of the play Miss Roberts adds nothing
to her position-it gives her no chance
for the really excellent work of which
she is capable. .->
Seymour Obermer, the author, has
seeming Y, tried to handle his subject
after the manner of Ibsen- and has
failed 1t is a play that appeals to
few, has no excuse for being alive
The strong situations are given to the
seconds and the leading parts have
little chance for display. 1t was an
entire disappointment to many; and
to those who liked it it was lacking
in much.

THE ROOSEVELT CLASSIC.


President Roosevelts last annual
message, much heralded as the admin
istration classic. was read to congress
today. and is. in substance. printed
in The Evening Statesman today.
Reading the message cOnvinces one
that President Roosevelt has grown
tired, very tired of directing the af-
fairs Of the nation. Instead of being
the lofty summary Of things done and
things attempted during his admins
tration, which was What the forecast
ers said the message would be, the
paper impresses on as having been
written with the same spirit as is
shown by the schoolbOy who is made
to Turn in an ESSAY" after his play
mates have been released for the day.
In this message Mr.. Roosevelt had
nothing to say. Only the law which
requires the president to report to
congress each year is the excuse for
the paper. In its dreary details there
are many recommendations, but they
are recommendations which have been
made before, and the vigorous Roose-
welt style does not arouse one as it did
in its earlier days.
In the message, in its original form,
there is page after page of reading de-
scriptive of the disaster which has
befallen China as a result of it's care
leSsneSs in the matter of its forests
rather vivid descriptions of the denu-
dalton of the empire. descriptions
which on their face were written not
n h,,t in,
From this it would seem that the pres
ident has inserted bodily long dis
sertatton on forestry prepared by some
expert on forestry after careful study
of conditions in the Chinese empire
All of which is good reading although
hardly to be expected in a retiring
presidents last annual message.
That the presidency is a big Job is
generally supposed; that it is a bigger
job than is the ordinary man who is
called upon to fill it is probably true
Mr.. Roosevelt went to the presidency
in the prime of vigorous manhood.
Whatever his admirers may say, the
fact remains that after seven years
service he leaves the presidency a
much weakened man. In purely politi-
cal way he has accomplished much.
He has left a Roosevelt imprint upon
current history; he has appointed his
own successor and made his name a
watchword for the incoming admins
tration.
But in purely physical and mental
way he has lost that which it is
doubtful If years rest in the Afri-
can jungles will restore to him. If
you don't believe this, read today's
message to congress, and compare it
with Mr.. Roosevelts earlier state pa
pers.

there that her work came under the

who have seen Miss Knight play
