TERSE THEATRICAL TIPS

That the theatrical syndicate is not as optimistic as it would have the general public believe, is fast beeom- ing an established fact. Within the last. season or two the Independents. the principal opposition to the trust. have annexed many more of the lat ter's stars and producers than the latter care to admit. The inde- pendants now control most of the musical comedy successes besides a ! galaxy of fifty stars. headed by such artists as Southern and Marlowe.
 Since Dave Warffeld and Mrs. Fiske, at one time, two of the mainstays of the Independents. have crept into the syndicate fold, no enc hears so much about them. The same might also be said of the peerless David Belacso, l whose successes were so widely her | aided few years ago. Since he joined the trust no one has heard of single Belasco success. In comenting upon the situation the New York Review. in a recent issue contains an article entitled, What Lee Shubert Has Done for the Theatrical World" The Shuberts, Sam s. and Lee, are the l moving spirits which have kept the Independents going and brought them to their present standard The article says in part:
 Ben Hur" marks the summit of Klaw & ErIanger's achievement. What a trayersty it is to compare the character of that one drama of noble purpose with Miss Innocense," !" The Follies' of various years, "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge and oth- CT attractions of that stamp with wfich this firm has been most closely unidentified in recent years,
 This is what Lee Shubert did:
 Lee Shubert took the New York Hippodrome. the greatest playhouse in the world, after its original man. agers had lost over half a million dol lars during its first year. and turned the institution into a successful theatre where are given the most elaborate and inspiring stage spec tacles ever presented This change of policy has resulted in the Hippodrome returning a profit of s250,0OG per sea son.
 Lee Shubert brought Sara Bern hardt to America when she last toured this country, her engagement ecIips- ing ill artistic merit and financial re- suit all previous visits she made to these shores. This splendid result was in face of the fact that in many cities she had to play under circus tent. the high and mighty Syndicate refusing her admitance to their theatres.
 Lee Shubert managed the most successful tours of E. H. Sothren and Julia MarIowe which they ever had either jointly or individually Their
 first tour under his direction, resulted in a splendid financial as well as ar | tistic success, whereas, when present. ed together, the season previous in
 Syndicate playhouses. the result was a great disappointment pecuniarily.

THE CONFERENCE ON INFANT MORTALITY.

Ia arranging a national conference on the question of infant mortality the American Academy of Medicine t-has given evidence of professional ideaHsm and publie spirit. The ques, ton of preventing such slaughter of the innocents as is unhappily going on everywhere is as urgent as it is complex. It is essentially a social and educational question.
 Infant mortality, as various local crusades have shown. is caused by ignorance of mothers in thousands of alien and poor homes, by poverty with the foul air, neglect, exposure 1t entails-by oTerwork during pregnan- cy, by impure milk, by hundred and one additional causes which can only be removed or mitigated by municipal reform, by medical inspection and the establishment of day nurseries, and so on.
 In recent years the measures of pro gressive health and school boards have produced very marked decrease in the infant death rate. But what has been done is mere beginning. The grave question of the appalling death rate at institutions for the cure of ba- bies and children has scarcely been considered. Then, too, a condition precedent to effective work, not here and there, but throughout the country, is radical improvement in the meth ods of insuring registration of births. We do not really know what the rate Of infant mortality ig in the United states. for we do not know the num- ser of children that are born alive. In many cities the registration of births is so partial and cratic as to pc worthless.
 Official statistics show, however, that in 1908 fully 100000 children un. der years of age died among about one-half of our total population. Race waste" this has been called, and it is high time society of physicians, health officers, social workers and others should be organized-aa the conference suggested-for the more systematic study and prevention of this waste

The entire civilized world was re- loIced yesterday upon receiving the message bearing the news that more than seventy miners had been discos- cred alive In the llIfated St. Paul mine at Cherry, ill. This gives addi- tionai cause for a happy Thanks giving. especially In a city of mines and miners, such as 6isbee. The joy of the women and children who are aroused from the terrible prospect of being widows and orphans, as the unconscious but still living husbands and fathers are brought to the str. face, Is something which fancy a.one can adequately picture. Theirs will be happy Thanksgiving indeed.

While there is little talk or dfscu,

While there is little talk or discus sion heard on the local option election here the registration is good It is coming on steadily every day and is an index of the interest which is be ing taken even if there is little talk When the returns were footed up last night it was found that there were $40 enrolled and of these 497 were city voters and forty-three from out eide of the city limits. By noon today 575 had registered and 1t is expected that 600 will be on the list by tonight A registration of 1000 will be cor sidered fair and 1900 would be con sidered very heavy. It is probable that more than half of the voters have already registered, six days after the .egistratioa oDenel.--Intenational.

InterestIng eovernment Repor.s.

| F
 This is the season when the yari, ous departments Of the Federal gov ernment in Washington put forth a large number Of annual and other reports upon their activities in realms where statisticians and scientists
 owe to pursue rhsir Investigations. Many, if not most, of these official documents fall unheeded among the discarded burdens of the wastepaper fecsp sp5acles, but it Is only fair to say that they, deserve better fate. Among the documents which possess a largo amount of public interest are She reports and bulletins of the agri- cultural department. the department of Commerce. and labor, and the gso. logical survey.
 One of the latest publications of the geological survey is a report by Ernest Howe on Iandslides in the San Juan mountains in the south western part of Colorado, and more PeNA AeAScAoAls LlG NSSlGiu pOIllpu ot the group. Few localities in the United States, says the report, in clude in an area so small and so easily explored. so many features of interest to the student of geology, and it continues.
 The region is a volcanic platean which has been so deeply dissecteI that in many places the foundation locks have been exposed. The sedi ments affected by the doming were 12,00O feet thick; the erosion which followed removed all of this vast mass of rock from the center of the dome. Afterward volcanic outbursrs buried the central region under many thousand feet Of tuffs and lava flows. Modification due to the subsequent glaciation of the region appears to have ben comparatively slight.''
 Th2 laadslides in this region date from 8 time as recent as last July to q period so far back in the geo. logical history of the earth that even scientists hesitate to say how many thousands Or millions of eyars ago 1t was. They agree, however, that probably there is no other locality on ths face of the earth where land slides have been so numerous or so extensive. and yet nobody is known ever to have witnessed one. As re gently as last summer one occurred on the east side of Cimarron creek. It created such disturbance that it was reported in the Denver papers as an earthquaKe. Trees had been thrown down, deep Assures rent the ground, ridges were thrown up, ponds had been filled, and the whole region showed every sign of great dis turbance

The Dispatch is continually posing as non-partisan newspaper, yet the fact is that it has never lost an c9pcr- tunity to indulge in the very dirtiest kind of petty politics. While declar- ing itself in favor of abjuring politics Fin municipal and county government it was the first to drag the new coun. ty hospital into politics by assailing and accusing Johnny Bowen Of play. ing politics when at the time he was the only member of the board of su. peryisors who had declared himself unequivocally in favor of building the hospital which all the people of the county were in favor of. While howl
 ing about non-partisansbip in county
 and municipal government the Dis
 patch endorsed a republican caucus held in this city for the purpose of considering public improvement in which every citizen of the county was interested, notwithstanding not a sin gle democrat was invited to this DC liLical caucus which was composed of all the political leaders of the repub- lican party in the county The non partisanship of the Dispatch has been proven to be of that character which seeks only to discredit democrats and boost republicans, as was shown h it's treatment of Supervisor Bowen be- cause of the incident of the county hospital contract. The contract award ed to Olson 6 company of Bisbees was by the unanimous vote of the board of supervisors. composed of two re
 pubhcans and one democrat. If the contract was illegal the republican
 majority was as much responsible for
 the bad mess as the minority demo
 crat, still the republicans get praise and molasses while the democrat got only blame and vinegar. Either the Dispatch should cut out its non-par
 tisan rot or pursue a policy that will not so plainly show it's political hand.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THANKSGIVING.

OF TSANkSGivlN0.
 The significance Of Thanzssiving day increases as the years go by. for the simple reason that rleu are more alive to the purpose of the occasion. H we are to give thanks for the blessings received during the past year we must commune with God and acknowledge Him as the source of all good.
 Since every person finds the meas ure Of his benefits fdll to overflowing. and far outbaiancing those things which he imagines have been his sor- rows during the year, it is not only right, but necessary to the proper acknowledgement by a grateful heart, that joy shall abound. and that hap piness shall reflect the absence of fear and the presence of perfect trust.
 The Puritans, among whom the day originated, may have worn an air Of solemnity, and perhaps they placed too much emphasis on the evils that were Kept from them, instead of re- membering only the good that had come They might have been scalped by hostile Indians, but were not Therefore they were thankful for that. But if they were inclined to lay too much emphasis upon what they had escaped and too little upon the good actually enjoyed, it must be said for them that they created a holiday which would have no signifi- canoe whatever unless the thoughts of men were directed to the only source of good in this life.
 But whether we have the Puritan negative or the present day positive. it must be remembered that Thanks giving Day should proclaim happiness among men, and that this happiness should spring from conviction that tho Power which has preserved Us and blessed us not only wants us to be happy, but is in partnership with every maa who tries to do right by his fellow man and live decently. Every material blessing reminds Us of this partnership, and is encourage ment te progress toward better things and better thoughts, conveying a promise for the future.
 The physical and material benefits received by each can be seen and felt and in a measure these benefits are the common blessing of the com munity. The material welfare of the community is bTt the aggregate of individual gains. and thns we com pute visible wealth as belonging to : all. because there car be no great good. no marked prosperity, or other material blessing, that is not to some extent shared directly or indirectly by the individual. What others en- joy We also enjoy. for no man can live within himself and monopolizo all that comes to him. No man should wish for such 3 thing, even if 1t were possible Of attainment. for he would thereby cheat himself yhys.ea- ly and morally.
 Thanksgiving fholghts are moi complete unless We mark all the gains n character and spirituality. as well as the material benefits. These gains are large and constant When VIC say that the world is improving we can have reference to nothing else but the strengthening Of the individ- Ial character and moral .prrposc. which is shared hy all who como =7- der its influence. This thought is bccoE.ag larger aE1 strony2r each

the association has increased as the

farmers that after all it is cheaper in
the long run to have good roads.
The largest attendance at any one

when a bigger thing can be made of
