pHoneymoon Trial"

The theatrical business, perhaps
more than any other, examplifies the
truth of the old adage, none but the
really good can endure It's various
stocks in trade, namely, the various
attractions which go to make UP the
theatrical business, are more affected
than are other stocks in trade, more
staple by nature, ard are always gov
erned by the law of "the survival of
the fittest" Statistics show that sew
enty-two per cent of the theatrical pro-
ductions launched yearly by Ameri-
can producers, both big and little,
prove to be failures
When a production contains all the
essential elements of success, how
ever, there is no public more ready
to bestow upon it approval and pat
ronage than the American theatre

Those who approve of the senti-

Victor Mnrdoek of Kansas will be dis
appointed if they expect that the re-
publican party proper has any inten-

is made plain in the republican text
book just issued by the republican
congressional committee. The cam
paign book emphatically does not rec
ognize insurgent republicans as re-
publicans, and thereby tacitly serves
notice to the public that if the next
house, is republican the people need
not expect the ideas of progressives
to be carried out The republican text
book, however, officially indorses sent

About Oklahoma People
At Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs, Col, Sept. r.
Many prominent Oklahomans will
visit Colorado Springs and the Pixies
Peak region at the time of the Eigth-
teenth National Irrigation Congress,
which is to be held in its sister city,
Pueblo, the last week in September.
Because of the proximity of the two
cities, being only As miles distant, it
is expected that a large proportion Of
the delegates will combine business
with pleasure and will include in their
Colorado trip few days of sightsee-
ling and recreation at Colorado Springs
Colorado City and Manitou. Low rail-
road rates will be in effect from Okla
homa. The many varied scenic at
fractions of the Pixies Peak region are
proving an added inducement to in
crease the attendance at this meeting
which will undoubtedly be one of the
most important of the year. Pueblo
lis expecting the greatest attendance in
the history of the National Irrigation
Congress and is making its prepara-
tions accordingly. A program of un-
usual interest has been prepared. many
speakers of national prominence have
been secured, and an exposition which
will afford remarkable display of ir-
rigated products from all parts of the
country has been arranged.
Among the prominent figures at the
congress win be J. S. Morris of Hook
er, Okla, who is the honorary vice
president for that state, and H. s.

aday, K. c. Cox, s. M, Alexander, John

Honeymoon Trial. which comes
to the Auditorium, October Z, is a
striking example of real theatrical
success. From the time the curtain
arose upon its initial performance at
the Laselle Theatre, Chicago, almost
three years ago, it has met with sue
cess of the most gratifying kind.
Hard luck stories" have never fol-
lowed it's presentation, and in every
lefty in which it has appeared press
and public have been unanimous in
declaring 1t the wittiest, most melod-
ious, most beautifully mounted and
most generously dressed production
of the season.
Kelly and Fitzgerald have been far
sighted enough to see that Honey
moon Trai1' is too valuable a prop
erty to allow to deteriorate and this
present season, therefore, sees it with
as beautiful and elaborate produc-
tion as when its music first fioated
over the footlights. A cast number
ing almost all the original favorites,
and containing in its roster such well
known players as Louis Kelso, Fred
Wyckoff, Airline Boiling and Carl
George give to this tuneful comedy a
,snappy and artistic presentation. The
famous LaSalle Theatre chorus con-
tanning thirty Of the greatest singing
and dancing girls on the American
stage, is feature.

Congress Roosevelt made caustic
attack on the great railroad interests
Of the country. This will be sad news
to Joe McNeal. 1t increases his al
ready unindurable burdens. Roose-
welt should be severely disciplined.
How can the republican party expect
the Guthrie candidate to win the rail-
road battle with a recalcitrant rebel
like Teddy running amuck in the
party ranks? There is no longer any
question Of Roosevelt's insurgency. If
any one doubts it, let him compare the

The republican party in Oklahoma
does not seriously consider the propos-

vember election. otherwise standpat-

dred million dollars is on deposit in
these banks. One bank in little

over six hundred thousand dollars in
deposits. More than half the bank
stock, according to the report, is own
