Many Orders for Seats for "a Gentle
man from, Mississippi"


"a Gentleman from Mississippi" will
be greeted by an unusually large au-
dience at the Calumet theatre to-
morrow evening. The seat sale open

is reported,
The play is, a clever comedy written
around a stout and jovial Mississippi
planter who has been newly elected to
the United, States senate. Rcpresen-
tatives of the trusts have engineered
his election as he is deemed to be just
the man they can mould TO their own
purposes, through. feelings, of gratitude
to the supposed friends who put him
there Langdon, the new senator, ar
rives I'm Washington with his daugh-
tiers and takes up his quarters at the
one time famous haunt Of statesmen,
the International Hotel. Here he is
interviewed by a young newspaper
correspondent. "Bud" Haincs, who inn
presses the new senator so favorably
that he offers Bud" the post of Sec
rotary Bud" catching a glimpse of
the senator's younger daughter, at
once accepts. He proves a valuable
ally and pilots Langdon through the
dangerous places. a trap is set for
Langdon to compel him to work for
the establishment of a naval base at
a point i'm Mississippi on the Gulf of
where the politicians have in
vested heavily i'm land. Bud" dis
covers the plot and helps Langdon de-
feat the schemes and to save his hon
or and fortune. Langdon rewards
him by bestowing the hand of his
younger daughter on him.
The story is told with prime Wow
to comedy. What might have been
made n very serious situation is usu-
ally solved in a ludicrous manner that
brings roars of Laughter from the audi
encc. There is much quaint Southern
humor for Langdon and breezy i'm

and situations are clean and whole

BANK GUARANTEE BUSTED

Quite Juror was raised III some states
u year ago by the new scheme for the
enactment of laws for guaranteeing
bank deposits. This populistic move
ment became so popular in Oklahoma
and Nebraska that the legislatures which
We're controlled by the followers of Mr..
Bryan put laws of that Character ON the
statute books requiring all banks Other
than National to unite and pay regular
assessments in order to provide II fund
to pay depositors in case of the failure
of any bank The plan looked very
feasible at first sight, but all honest and
conservative bankers conuldn't under
stand why they should be compelled to
assist in paying the losses occasioned by
the methods pursued by dishonest or in
competent men in the banking business
But like many other similar schemes
worked up and promulgated to impress
the popular mind in order to gain politi-
cal advantage it bids to be very shortliyed
Down in Oklahoma the failure of a bank
whose depasitS ran well up into the
hundred thousands soon swallowed mp
the small sum collected as a guarantee
and the banks are refusing TO put up
more money Over in Nebraska a suit
brought to test the validity of the law
has just been decided by the United
States circuit court and the law has been
so badly riddled that the decision will
undoubtedly be affirmed by the supreme
court when it is carried to that tribunal
on appeal
The Nebraska law required that all
banks must be run by corporations. The
court holds that they might just rs well
pass law demanding that all other
kinds of business should be run by cor
porations instead of individuals. The
court also denies the right of state to
compel n solvent institution TO pay for
the losses sustained by an insolvent one
which would be taking property without
due process of law. Ii there is any
reason why the banks in Audubon,
which are run by capable conservative
and upright men, should help pay the
losses of q Carroll bank that was wreck
ed by speculation, we have not yet heard
it given.

THE SHORT LINE RAILROAD
RUNNING FROM DIES MONIES ON
TO ATLANTIC AND OMAHA
Grading All Done From Council Bluffs
To Treynor and the Tracklaying
Will Soon Begin Out There

Now that the people interested in the
Des Moines, Audubon and Omaha Rail
road have held a public meeting over at
Guthrie Center certain parties repre-
senting the Omaha and Iowa Short Line
have been there to interest the business
men of that town in the promotion and
building of their line. That is the same
road that secured vote on a tax in
Greeley township the proposition being
defeated by good majority. The thing
that interests the people of Audubon
and Shelby counties is the fact that if
Guthrie county should give its aid to
that line there would be little or no help
toward boosting and building line
through these counties. Following is
what is given in The Guthrian concern.
ing the project and the meeting:
Thomas Flood, banker and business
man of Treynor was in this city Wednes-
day in company with c. T, Kirkwood
and George Artist, of North Branch, in
interest of the Omaha and Iowa Short
Line Railroad, to run from Omaha to
Des Moines and through Guthrie county
Mr.. Flood informed the writer that the
money to build the road from Treynor
to the Bluffs had all been raised by the
citizenso of that village; grading is being
done and material for laying track and
building bridges is being forwarded as
rapidly as needed He says his people
are very anxious as are all the people
along the west end of this road to see Ii
extended eastward from Treynor. The
latest survey brings the line east To AT
lantic and from there it runs on up the
Troublesome to North Branch from
where an easy grade TO Guthrie Center
can be found up Bear Creek. A meeting
will be held in Guthrie Center on next
Friday to get an expression from our
citizens us to what they will do in the
way of subscribing for stock in this
road So far as the writer is concerned
he is in favor of any road, be il inter
urban or steam, that will relieve Guth
RE Center from the eXcerable service it
now receives. Let the people turn out
and hear what our friends haveto offer.
The meeting will be held in Milligan
and Moore's Office at eight o'clock. 1t
is hoped that everyone interested will
be in attendance.

NO AMERICAN SHIPS

A few evenings ago Colonel Albert W.
Swain, Consul General at Southampton,
England, made "a talk at social gath
ering in which hecalled attention to the
absence of, American merchant marine.
He also said that our great fleet, which
went around the world. was supplied
with coal from golfers sailing under for
eign flags. In connection with what Mr.,
Swain said these facts may be restated
and recalled:
Our ocean tonnage is 300 900 tons less
than one hundred years ago. We now
carry less than eight per cent of our for
eign commerce. In 1861 we carried sixty
five per cent. OF the 292 merchant steam
ships that passed through the Suez canal
last January only one carried the Ameri-
can flag. We are now paying about
$500, 900 q day to foreign ships for car
rying American commerce. All leading
maritime nations pay about 1913, 000, 600
subsidies to their merchant marine and
we pay to ours practically nothing. And
before we adopt free trade and thereby
chlllenge the manufacturers of the void
t. free competition in our own market
we ought to have at least adozen Ameri-
can ships engaged in international traffic
it took forty-nine foreign ships under
foreign flags to carry coal to the coaling
stations ahead of our sixteen battleships
while making their late cruise:
Proud spirited citizens who are in the
habit of Boosting in regard TO American
accomplishment can afford to consider
few of these facts Surely the free
trader ought toconsider them. In what
shape could we compete with the world
in regard to products if all our freight
were carried in foreign vessels? Des

history Of the state He believes the
people are awakening TO the possibilities
of South Dakota and that all the land
worth while will soon be taken up and
settled by thrifty farmers The Cover

THE PUBLIC is LENIENT

The American press and pnblic have
been very lenient with Commander
Peary They have felt sorry for him.
They have realized how great has been
his disappointment after twenty three
years of searching for the north pole.
To find that in the hour of victory
another man reached the desired and
much sought goal ahead Of him, is q
realization great enough to stagger an
ordinary man That it has i'm measure
unbalanced Mr.. Peary seems to be the
only kindly conclusion that one can
come to.
But the whole attack on DR. Cook has
been u disgrace to America We have
in this instance a man of the highest at
tainments, a manwho has impressed the
whole world with the sincerity of his
statements, and yet he is branded before
the whole world as liar, fakir and n
gold brick" handler A man whom
the entire nation and the whole world
honors is thus branded by another Amer
lean And this brand is placed upon
him by the merest of hearsay testimony
Two unknown Eskimos are used for this
purpose. They are not present. We do
not know their views except as they
come through Mr.. Peary. The Eskimo
is conceded TO be shifty character and
these particular Eskimos had every
