PLAYS AND PLAYERS
A REAL COMEDIAN IN
TOWN; OTH@ GOOD ACTS

Lew Anger, German comedian, In
a suit of army regimentals, easily
walked away with the honors in last
nights bill at the Orpheum. Lewis
name was buried down toward the
middle of the program, but his work
was of such shining character that
it helped TO illuminate some of the
less luminous numbers on the bill.
1t is one continuous smile, pune
tuated by frequent howl, from the
time Lew marches in until he
marches out again.
A lot of grotesque costumes, some
special scenery, dancink and sing.
ing are shown in the act by the
Bama Bama girls, down on the pro-
gram as the headliners. AS a girl
act it fell short of number that
have appeared at the Orpheum this
season.
There was some artistic work
shown in Underwood and Slosson's
playlet, "a Wicked Woman" by
Jack London. The piece, however,
is little bit suggestive. so much so
as to border on the indecent. Stepp,
Mehlinger and King. in comedy,
singing and banjo and piano play
ing, have pleasing act. Mildred
Morton made good with ballad at
the close of her prima donna sing
ing act. She appeared in three num-
bers, each in fancy costume. Went
worth and Vesta and their dog
Teddy gave better dog show with
the single canine than do some
performers with a whole houseful
of "purps." The Brahams phanto.
graphs were interesting. The NOV
ing picture romance at the close
was not the least interesting num-
Der on the program.

WILL DISCUSS
: - IMPROVED TENDERS

At the next meeting of the city
council the question of an adequate
street car fender will again be
bfeught up, when a letter to the
mayor from c. B. Martin, of Port
land. Is read. Martin is one of
those who are now having their
inventions tested in Portland and
in, asking for consideration of his
patent, he speaks of the compli-
mentary press notices which he re-
ceived from the Portland papers
after the tests. The fender extends
but a foot in front of the car and
its sponsor says that it is impossible
for anything, no matter how small,
to get under the fender after it
has been let down. A test of the
Martin fender may be made in Spo-
kane soon.

PANTAGES GETS
BIG FEATURES

People who went to the Pantages
theater yesterday were still talking
about last weeks cowboy girl and
men. That act undoubtedly was
one Of the best vaudeville stunts
ever pulled off in Spokane, and
Pantages certainly turned good
trick when he got it for his circuit.
This weeks bill is good. "The
Land Of Lutus" piece is quaint and
novel. Japanese songs and dances
are given. and the scenic effects
alone are worth going to see.
Twenty Minutes Layover at Al
falfa Junction" is funny skit Of
the usual kind, which serves to
make a complete vaudeville per-
Torrance, but three people-two
pretty girls and man-are in this
one, and it's amusing.
Kelly and Ably have comedy
acrobatic feature which is way
above the ordinary, and we'll worth
seeing.

UbERATYS BAND
i WELL RECEIVED

It was a contented and a salts
fled crowd that wendell it's way
homeward Sunday evening after
listening to the concerts at Nata-
forum park by Liberati's Royal
Italian band. Notwithstanding the
late start caused by the late arrival
of the baggage of the company, the
crowd which overlooked onto the
lawns, encored the band after each
selection. and when the quartet
sang the old favorite, I'll Trova-
tore" they were recalled three
times, and each time responded
with the ever popular strain.
1t was estimated that fully $4,000
persons were" in the park at 8
o'clock, and many more came for
the evening concert.

"Or you would not have confes-

wish so dear as that you two should

She rose abruptly to set down
the cup, the shadows now cloak

learned to be angry with you. +

with all gentleness. 1t was so

back.

She slipped hurriedly across the
threshold, as if in escape, ruthlessly
tearing her thin gown upon the
door latch. Allard YEARLY rested
his head against the column be-
hind him, and so remained.
At the end of an hour he arose
and went down across the moon
blanched lawns, walking steadily
and directly toward the group of
olive trees. He knew for what

WHERE The COAL GOES

VINO uses most of the coal? First
and foremost of any single industry,
the railroads consume from 10000 900
to 100,O00,000 tons a year, and these
and steamships use nearly 80 per cent
OF the country's output, which is as
much or more than is used for all do
mestic and heating purposes. This
B leaves approximately one-half of the
total production -principally bitumi-
1ous-.to be accounted for by the indus.
tries of the country.
a. Coal and manufacturing are terms
which are in general practice closely
related, but they are constantly chang.
Ing their adjustments, which affect
!: and are in turn affected by transport
tation. For instance, New York is the
greatest manufacturing state, yet she
possesses no coal mines. On the 9th
I er hand, West Virginia is the third
largest coal producer, but she has com.
zparitiye1y no manufa ctures. The time
will doubtless come when West yir-
ginfa, with her vast coal resources,
.avil1 stop sllIpp ing away all of Her fuel,

Hand, and become great manufac tur-
ing sfate. It Is only necessary to con

done. by the pushers of Devils Lake:
and their friends over the state. They
went to Grand Forks for business and
when they got there they went dill
gently about 1t and as a result they
landed what they went after. On ac-
count of the limited facilities that
Devils Lake has had heretofore in the
way of hotel accommodations and a
suitable place for large gatherings the
city has been unable to go after many
of the large gatherings. They have,
entertained a few, notably among
which were the druggists convention
and the f1remen's tournament. Both
OF these conventions were conducted

large new hotel next summer we will

our central location and excellent rail-

TAFT FOR SECOND TERM.

President Taft, it is said, makes it
evident to those who breach the sub
ject to him that he Is Indifferent about
a second term. This Indifference
springs, not from any failure to ap-
preciate the value of such a popular
endorsement as reelection to this high
Office, but from a determination not
to let petty political maneuvering for
second term spoil the achievements
Of the first term.
The president, in short, is more in
tent on making a record for the pres
ent administration than on setting up
the pins for another. He is more de-
sirous of keeping his promises now
than of making new set Of promises
for another campaign.
After all, is not this a better way
than to descend to the plane of playing
politics of the peanut variety? Mr..
Taft conceives that he made a bargain
with the people, whereby they were to
give him their votes and he was to
give them his best efforts while in of.
flee to efectuate certain legislation.
Like any outstanding man, he is now
doing his utmost to keep his end Of the
bargain, and paying no attention what
ever to getting a chance to make an.
other bargain.
There is a lesson in this for con-
gress, too. The republicans in the
present congress made the same sort
of bargain with their constituents.
They are to report progress to the PEG.
pie two years before the president
dces. If they can report that they
have carried out the agreement and
have passed the laws desired by the
people-with the single exception of
the tariff bill, which was not what
i the people wanted-they will stand far
better prospects of reelection than if
they are obliged to go into the cam
paign with record of broken promis-
es and nothing done.-Minneapo1is

THE ART OF POLITICS,

Politics has been reduced to a fine
art In some political centers in this
country. For instance New York city
has been pivotal political storm
center for many years, and it's in
huence upon the outcome of elections,
both state and national, has been con-
spicuous In 1884 a few wards in
New York city defeated Blaine for
president. It is interesting to study
the methods put forward by the poll
ticians who keep tab on the voters.
Little" Tim Sullivan, the Tammany
leader, gave some friends few point
ers a few months ago that show some
thing of the system employed in get
ting into the confidence of the voters
among the poorer classes. He said:
