"oNLY LAW" STRONG STORY.

Miss Corinne Smell, though favorably
known through the east, yesterday
came to Rock Island practically a
stranger to the theatre patrons here.
This resulted in a small attendance
at the Illinois last evening to see the
young star in her play, "The Only
Law which has a Broadway record
as one of the really worthy offerings
of the year. 1t is a play that goes df,
rectly home to the heart without hair
raising climaxes. Miss Smell is sup
piled an excellent stage equipment and
strong supporting company. Her
initial appearance here as a star, while
not financially profitable. at least
proved that those who did see her an
preciated her, and would be glad to
see her return. The play is worth
going to see. 1t deserves to be long

tatives to congress, the insurgents
would still lack a majority. In the
lower house they would still lack
nine men; in the upper house, they
would have less show OF control
than the Democrats.
These figures are worth keeping
in mind. Reform within the Re-
publican party, after the recent
years of autocratic rule, will be
welcomed by none more gladly
than by the average Republican.
But the middle west, which is max
ing all the noise, cannot do it
alone. 1t has not the votes,
And while the middle west in
surgents are counting their major
tiles at this time, it is wise to be
prepared for Democratic gains at
the same time, which in not few
cases will outnumber the gains Of
the insurgents. In fact, the out
look for a democratic house of rep
resentatives after March 1 next, is
not at all gloomy. Elk.

NOT so EASY AFTER ALL

The seventeen states between
the Appalachians and the Rocky
mountains, north of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Arkansas, and in
GLIDING Missouri and Oklahoma,
were represented in Congress last
winter by Io1 Republicans and 40
Democrats-a total of Ia in a
membership of SOL The remain
ing states of the Union were repre-
sented by I1S Republicans and i26
Democrats.
Clearly, then. SO far as the
house of representatives is con-
cerned, the middle west is the
stronghold of the Republican par
ty. 1t is also the stronghold of in,
surgency. Upon this state of
things the insurgents base their
calculations of dominating the next
congress. They expect to sweep
the middle west, thus securing the
control of the Republican organi-
cation, and then through it, of
Congress itself.
In the Senate, consisting of 81
members, there are s. Republicans
and 81 Democrats. OF the Repub-
licans, % come from the middle
west. The terms of II of these
middle west senators will expire
next March and successors will
have been elected before that time
to take their places.
But the mathematical fact re-
mains that if the middle west elect
ed a solid delegation of insurgent
Republican senators and represen-

THE ROAD TO RENO
(Judge)

I remember when l met her;
1t was in the long ago.
1t was on the road to Reno
Somewhere east of Kokomo.
1t was in the gladstone springtime,
And the tupils were aglow.
1t was in the gladstone springtime,
In the spring of long ago.
I was going, she was coming;
She had shaken off her woe,
1t was on the road to Reno,
Where the alimonies grow.
"Tarry for a while" murmured,
For I'll soon be back, you know,
Wait until I've burst my bondage"
This I whispered soft and low,
But she shook her wavy tresses,
AS she gaily answered no.
1t was on the road to Reno,
Where the merry widows grow,
Where the widowers ex lege
Softly come and softly go
On the road unknown to husbands
Who remain in statu quo.

Asks for More Time

little Rock, July 1.-Col. J. M. Moore, special counsel for the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt railroads has notified the special counsel for the state ia the rate l t gat on suits h a t he will appea before Judge Trieber in the Fed eral court here Saturday morn ing and petition for an extension of the time for taking rebuttal dispositions in behalf of the rail road, until October It is sup posed the railroad attorney is to claim it will take until that time to compile the figures nec- essary to refute the claims of the states counsel relative to the in co me from intra and interstate business. The attorneys who represent the state wi resist the extension of time to the rail roads, alleging it would be unfair to give so much time after the state has presented it's case, as it would permit the railroad to hatch up such tumble of figures there would be no end to the in
 yeStigation. It is alleged that the railroads want the matter passed for the summer in order to give the attorneys vacation, but the attorneys for the state are particularly anxious to get the matter out oJ the way, as Gen. w. F. Kirby, one of the states attorneys will go on the Supreme Court bench the last of October, and some settlement is desired before that time.

Political Convention Tricks.

The desirability of nominating can
didates for public Office by the direct
primary plan, has been illustr ated in
the proceedings of recent political
conventions in various parts of Mon
tana. An instance of political trick
cry is described by a correspondent
of the River Press, who writes as fol.
lows regarding q nomin alton made by
the Chouteau county democratic con.
vention:
"For county attorney, Harold
Youell, of Chester, was nominated
over O'Keefe, of Chinook, by an
overwhelming majority. Youell is a
young man living near Chester and
we are informed that he has not yet
been admitted to practice. 1t was
necessary to telegraph to Chester to
get the correct name of the young
man, as he was practically unknown
to anyone in the convention. O'Keefe
wss opposed by his home delegation.
Ziebarth, of Chinook, nominated
Youell.
"The court records show that
O'Keefe was counsel for Robert Wal
lace, who secured q judgment in the
district court of this county agains,
Ziebarth and his partner, Potter, TO,
over 81, 400, for sheep carried away
by Ziebarth and his partner last fall,
which sheep the jury found not to have
been the property of Ziebarth and bit
partner when taken.
"The fight against O'Keefe was
made on the grounds that he is AFRO
giant, conceited and does not walk ir
the manner of q democrat. This las
failing may be due to the fact that ht
weighs over 225 pounds. 1t is rather
amusing to find the democratic party
turning down their only available
candidate for this Office because b,
walks too much like an alderman"
