"A Girl at the Helm. /"


Inc offering at the Keylor Grand
thursday night will be H. H. Frazee's
production of that La Sale tbeater
popular success "a Girl at the Helm -
inns attraction enjoyed a stay of six
months in Chicago and is credited as
having received the most marvelorslv
Enthusiastic notices ever given by the
Chicago Newspaper critics to any play
since the first theater was built in the
windy City are accorded the musical
comedy "a Girl at the Helm" which
was presented to capacity audiences
for 300 performances at the La Sale
theater. The book and lyrics are by
Robert B. Smith and Raymond Hub
! bell, authors of "A Knight for a Day."
Percy Hammond of the Evening Post
and Chicago's foremost critic, said "A
Girl at the Helm" is far and away
ahead of the copious output of the
Adams, Hough and Howard outfit, au-
thors of "a Stubborn Cinderella and
Honeymoon Trail" It's characters
are more attractive it's story being
more interesting and consistent and it's
wit more spontaneous. The piece is
beautifully dressed in silk and satin
and it's dancing numbers, thanks to
Mr.. Al Holbrook, are without excep-
tiOn nOetic and graceful
Mr.. Burns Mantle, of the Chicago
Tribune, agreed with Mr. Hammond in
the following words:
"a Girl at the Helm" is in every
way decided advancement upon any
cago It's story is charming, the girls
were gorgeously arrayed in a series
of costumes that would shame any
thing but a rainbow, and all in all the
grand old word gorgeous" is none too
good to use in referring to it,
The cast is headed by Billy Clifford
who has style all his own, catchy and
fetching. His popularity especially
with the female theater goers has the
, ear marks as being decided favorite,
as nearly every matinee of the present
tour has been a record breaker. Mr..
Clifford is assisted by beauty chorus
of big and little girls, and male oc-
tette of exceptional worth.

Horse Runs Away.

MANSFIELD, Nov. 30.-A. E. Camp
bell had a lively time of it Sunday
while paying court to a young lady
one mile west of here. In attempting
to assist the young lady out of the
buggy he dropped the lines on the
dashboard and then the horses started
on a sure enough runaway. Tney
headed for town and circled the bust
ness section two or three times be-
fore coming to a halt in w. L. Van
Doren's barb wire fence. One of the
horses was quite badly cut ana the
buggy was a pile of junk at the finish

Thursday Night, Dec. 2.
AT THE MAJESTIC.

The Majestic offers a highly COM
this city this week. All the acts are
practically clean from the usual run
of vaudeville jokes and each act is
good of it's kind. Taking it all around
this house is deserving of the women's
and children's patronage, owing to the
high class billings offered. Those
who enjoy hearing banjo music took
great delight in listening to Roland
Ramage, who is an artist with this in
strument. In one of his renditions ne
plays the part of two instruments on
the one.

SaIIinger and Pinchot Trouble Will Not
Quiet Down and Developments
Are Expected.

WASHINTON, D. c., Nov. 80
There's going to be some fireworks on
the hill this winter said a western
senator, who dropped into town the
other day after having casually in
spected the now-famous Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy from arar.
81 didn't get near enough to the
row to stop any of the shells, but you
can put it down now that there will be
plenty of them flying around the cap
itol this winter" he remarked. and
say" he added, Il wouldn't have the
presidents job right now for lot of
money"
Everyone is awaiting word from the
White House and wondering what
Taft will do.
Here's the situation: Last summer
several newspapers criticized Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger for his
wholesale restoration of the Garfield
conservation Withdrawals of public
land. The cry was taken up at the
National Irrigation congress at SpO-
kane where Ex-Governor Pardee OF
California, charged that Ballinger had
delivered the west into the hands of
the water power trust and was re-
peated by Pardee, Francis j. Heney
and others at the conservation con-
gress at Seattle
Then L. r. CLAWS, a land Office agent
who had ben investigating some Alas
kan coal claims which he believed to
be fraudulent and in the interests Of
which Ballinger had once appeared as
attorney went to the president with
what he thought was evidence that
Ballinger was trying to rush the claims
to patent despite testimony that they
were Illegal The president exonerated
Rallinger in an open letter, and fired
Claws CLAWS then made his charges
public.
The reason for naming the row "the
Pallinger- Pinchot controversy Is
that Ballinger asserted last summer
that Chief Forester Pinchot was try
ing to run the department of the In
terror. Now, Ballinger expresses the
belief that Pinchot has inspired the
attacks on him in the press. The fact
is that Pinchot and Ballinger have
not been pulling well together in the
official harness for some time. Each
suspects and mistrusts the other.
In dealing with PinchOt, the presl-
dent is confronted with the fact that
the chief forester is looked upon by the
country as the expression of the Roose-
vet principles of conservation of the
natural resources OF the country. He il

been crowded daily with people from

the afflicted, for he has relieved much

Ezra Kendall.


Ezra Kendall, the same old Ezra
a good many of the same old jokes,
too. was at the Keylor Grand last
night and a flied house greeted him.
A house that appreciated his homely
wit, too. From first to last, he pleas
ed. Not with roars CT laughter, nor
with one or two outbursts of pleasure.
But with ripp.es of wit and humor
that kept the audience laughing all
the evening, that kept everyone in
good nature for two hours and a half.
Ezra Kendall is the same Ezra Ken
dali that wrote Good Gravy" Spots
and others. And many of the jokes
were the same. But delivered as they
were in Kendalrs inimitable style,
everyone laughed. Everyone had to.
THE Vinegar Buyer" is but an ex-
cuse for Kendall. 1t is a fair excuse,
only. And the accomplices in the ex-
cuse were rather mediocre. But as
most of the people went to see Kendall
and not the play or the company, few
had a kick coming along that score.
The scenery was god, and the cos
tuning true to life. A novelty intro
duced was that of leaving the house
lights on during the performance.
Why, is not known. But the change
is not at all pleasant
This is not the first visit of Mr..
Kendall to Walla Walla and the we'll
filed house of last night is but an in
cation of the one that will greet him
next time he comes.

in the west, as the one man who stanu

to be trying to monopolize the publ
resources, and the people.
On the other hand, the president ha 5
Ballinger, his own selection as secrc-
tary of the interior He turned Garfield
out in order to put Ballinger in, and
if he were to sidetrack Ballinger now
it would be a reflection on the wisdom
of his choice. Then, too, there is
Frank Hitchcock, postmaster general
who ran the Taft campaign. Hitchcock
is friend of the secretary of the in
terror and is said to be largely respon-
sible for his selection as a member of
the Taft cabinet.
Taft's way of doing things is diff
ferent from Roosevelts and the men
whom Taft has put into office are of a
distinctly different type from those
who surrounded Roosevelt. Ballinger
can be said to represent the Taft type.
A lawyer, conservative, with perhaps a
little leaning toward property in
terests,' he is regarded by Taft as one
! Of the ablest men in the administra-
ton. Pinchot is the live wire" Of the
Roosevelt policies.
Those who try to dope OUT in adj
vance what will happen, think that
Taft will make one more effort to
bring Pinchot and Ballinger into har-
monious relations with each other.
They predict that he will get Ballinger
and Pinchot together and slap each
on the back and say Look here. you
are both Jealous for the conservation
of the natural resources o fthe coun-
try You are both good fellows, but
YOU go at it in a different way. This
sort of thing is disturbing to my ad-
ministration. You both are working
toward the same end. Get together.
FORGET II anu pun III oiiC uii OSNiCA''
There is little doubt that TAFT
would like to do this, but most people
think the matter has gone too far for
this kind of settlement. Ballinger is
too thoroughly angry for one thing
and then Pinchot may not like to be
patted by the same hand that rev
minutes before patted Ballinger's back.
If the president fails to bring Pin
chot and Ballinger together. he will
probably ask congress to investigate
Congress will probably investigate any
how. and so, by requesting the In
vestigation, Taft would pass UNI
comfortable situation over to the cap
itol.
Congress will also take some action
as regards the general policy of con-
servation. This will be separate ana
distinct from the Ballinger investiga-
ton and will revolve around several
bills that have been introduced for the
purpose of placing the Roosevelt con-
servation policies on the statute books.
bill calling for the leasing by the
government of water power sites, ana
coal lands and giving the federai
government power to regulate the
charges for products therefrom, is IN

Accepts an Invitation to At
tend the Waterways
Convention.
At NORFOLK, VIRGINIA
MEETS THERE NOVEMBER 10 AND
20, AND Mr.. TAFT WILL ALSO
INSPECT THE HAMPTON COL
oRED SCHOOL.

Washington, July 31.-President Taft
has accepted an invitation to attend the
convention of the Atlantic deeper wa
terways association, to be held No.
vember H. IS, 10 and 20 at Norfolk,
Va. The invitation was presented by
Senator Cimmons and Representative
Small, North Carolina; Representative
Moore of Pennsylvania; Representa-
tive Maynard of Virginia and ex-Rep-
resentative Burton of Delaware. They
bore letters from Governor Swanson
of Virginia, Mayor Riddick of Nnofolk
and the various business mems organ
izations of Norfolk. The president
will be in Norfolk November 10, and
he has promised to visit the colored
school at Hampton November 20.
The delegation invited the presi-
dents attention to the project known
as the Boston-Beaufort waterway with
It's extension to Key West and along
the gulf to New Orleans. Authoriza-
ton for surveys were made in the riv-
ers and harbors bill and the army en-
gineers are now making their prelimi-
nary examination.
Water Course 1900 Miles.
The project calls for an inside pass
age by water thorough existing canals
and rivers, distance of about 500
miles down the Atlantic coast Work
has been commenced under contract
upon a section of this waterway be-
tween Norfolk and Beaufort, N. C.
The war department has also grant
ed authority to a private company to
cut through Cape Cod and actual work
there is under way. The convention at
Norfolk will rally all the eastern adj
vocates of waterways who are expect
ed to proceed to that city by boat
through existing water courses both
north and south.
The principal argument in favor of
the continuance of the inland pass
age is the avoidance of outside dan
ger points like Cape Cod, Cape Hat
teras and the several shoals along the
coast.
