STAR THEATRE CLOSES

The Star Theatre closed its doors
Tuesday night. 1t has been run as a
moving picture show and vaudeville by
Mcconnell and Monrote for about three
months. 1t has been running behind for
the past two weeks and trouble arose
when Ernest Schroeder and Elsie Hu-
ber, vaudeville artists, showed to small
houses and could not get all their
money at end of week. They issued
warrants for $3.50, which company
could not pay. This brought out
other creditors, with result as above.
The house was rented for one year
at 5000, and if the owner holds them
for that time there will be nothing left
for other creditors.

DEMAND FOR BIG MEN.

p. Harvey Middleton, in an inter
esting account of the life of James
Jerome Hill, quotes that wonderful
empire builder as saying:
The conditions in the United
States today are such that any man
who starts out with industry, intelli-
gence and honesty has a chance for
success such as was never known be-
fore. America has taken foremost
rank industrially among the nations.
The result is that any man who
wants to work can find opportunity.
If he is intelligent and keeps his wits
about him, if he has in him the right
material, he can get to the front. no
matter how humble his start or how
poor his circumstances. At no time
in the worlds history were so many
opportunities for advancement held
out to the workingman in the ranks.
Men who can accomplishment men,
of energy and initiative,-are in
greater demand than ever before.
"One of the greatest problems to-
day is the finding of proper men to
place in posts of trust and RESPONSE
bility as foremen, superintendent
and the like. We simply cannot find
such men fast enough. Why. all but
the merest fraction of the best oper-
'ating officials in the railroad world
today are men who have come up
from the ranks, advancing by earnest
effort and untiring energy along the
hard. straight road, and finding few
short cuts. BY reason of that man
ner OF. advance they have brought
with them to their high positions
that practical knowledge obtained by
wrestling hand to hand with the
minor problems that make up the
great whole, which enables them to
contend with and solve the ever more
intricate problems that are being Gre
ated each day by the big and grow
ing mechanism of national industry"

whats The News?"
The Weeks Happenings.
BY CLARENCE H. POE.

INV EWS FROM Washington these days is of a
w very unexcting nature. President Taft's
corporation license bill has been introduced
by Senator Clark. of Wyoming 1t provides that
any corporation engaged in interstate commerce
may take out Federal charter, under the pro-
visions of the act, which provides for full publicity
of accounts and Governmental supervision, and
forbds the purchase of stock in one corporation by
another except with the permission of the Commits
soner Of Corporations. Senator Rayner. of Mary
land, has made sharp attack on the postal saw
ings bank bill, basing his opposition on Consttu-
tional grounds There seems little doubt that the
measure will pass The ship subsidy bill has been
favorably reported to the House over the vigorous
protests of the Democratic and two Republican
members Of the committee Senator Hepburn, of
Idaho. got in the limelight again Monday by maxi
ing speech against lending United States Army
tents to the Confederate soldiers for their annual
reunion at Mobile next April No reply was made
to Senator Hepburn. and at the close of his out
break every other vote cast in favor of the
proposition President Taft's conservation pro-
posals evidently have hard shedding ahead Speak
er Cannon has always opposed such legislation:
the chairman of the House Committee on Public
effective measures OF the kind. and small group
OF Senators. led by Hepburn, may be counted on
to do all they against the Presidents policies.
More attention Is being given to the proposal to
increase the postage on magazines than to any
other OF the Presidents recommendations and
public sentiment here is decidedly hostile. Such
proposals have been time and again defeated, and
until there is reform in other branches Of our pos
tai system. such a as this is not likely to
meet with favor.
II the Postoflce Department really wishes to
become a self-supporting institution, there are 4
great many things that ought to be done before
tax on knowledge and information is levied
by doubling the postage rate on magazines and
newspapers: C) The railroads are getting too
much for carrying the mails; CD Congressman
and Government officials frank countless tons OF
Government documents and 1t is unfair to make
the newspapers make good the loss sustain cd
here; CD it is notorious that exorbitant salaries
one-half the force could do the work il the post
Office were conducted as private enterprise; ana
ca as we have often said. the parcels post should
be money making part Of the postal system. as
1t is in England and other European countries.
The machinery is all ready for the work. and it is
folly to surrender 1t to the express companies
All Of this must be said even il we are to as
sumo that the postoffce should be self-supporting
AS matter Of fact. the postofice is much
an educational institution as the public schools.
and we doubt whether there is any more reason
In requiring it to be profitable than there is In
