WILL INVESTIGATE
TELEPHONE RATES
viii Order Series of Reports From
All Telephones Whether Owned
BY Corporations Of Others.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 13. With a
view to securing uniformity Of rates
and obtaining insight into the tele-
phone business in every section Of
the state, the corporation commission
has promulgated proposed order
calling for series of reports from
each telephone system, whether own
ed by a corporation, cooperative as
sociation of by individuals.
Telephone concerns are to be re-
quired to send schedules of rates on
all business and to notify the com
mission of all changes. The rates are
to be published in each issue of a di-
rectory. This brings out the curious
fact that few telephone companies
publish their rates.
The commission is to be notified
of all new connections and extensions,
To gain an idea of the volume of busi-
ness the commission calls for reports
covering the period from the first to
the tenth day of each month. The
number of calls of all descriptions is
to be given by the hour.
Tomorrow has been set by the COM
mission for hearing on another inn
portant order proposed for the tele-
phone business. The commission pro-
poses a reduction of rates on long
distance business. Il is claimed that
some concerns charge outrageously
for long distance talks and some Of
the big concerns put prohibitiye tolls
on exchange business from small lines.
On order has been issued by the
commission to the Rock Island rail-
way company. requiring it to fulfill
an agreement with the Lawton Mill
& Elevator company for switch at
Grecemont. It is charged that the
railroad company has grossly discrim-
mated against the mill and elevator
company in that it refused the con-
cern the privilege of building on the
right of way and later admitted a
rival concern to the right of way.
The railroad company refused to build
a switch to the concern it kept away
from the main tracks. An agreement
was made that the mill company
should do the grading and the railroad
company put down switch. The rail-
road company abrogated the agree
ment. The mill company puts in a
claim that 1t has spent $1,S44 in four
years for draying by reason Of being
away from switch.

Another Good One Coming.

L. R. Willard, who presents "The
Time. the Place and the Girl" is a
firm believer in placing the prettiest
girls in the most conspicuous places
at the proper time to produce a coun-
ter irritant in the minds Of those who
think they are about to be disappoint-
ed. He believes that song hit which
can carry itself on it's merits, is
quadrupled by the swaying of group
of unimpeachabIe broilers in the fore
ground of an array of we'll gowned
show girls and his experiences haye
taught him to pick winners in arrang.
ing his productions.
The young women, who constitute
this section of "The Time, the Place
and the Girl, /" possess all these quail
fications SO necessary to please the
eye and charm the ear. There are
ten musical numbers which are given
additional color by the beauty Of such
girls in time action.

CAST ASIDE" IS OFFERED
At AUDITORIUM TONIGHT

The world is better today than it
was one hundred years ago. The
pessimist would like to have us think
differently, but the fact remains the
same nevertheless. Mankind is in
yolving from the stone age to the high
est and many and varied are the fac
tors due to this evolution Evolution
is slow and we in our daily mad rush
do not realize the wonderful strides
we are making. Many things that by
their familiarity we do not consider
are the stepping stones to the higher
and nobIest man is capable of. Lives
without number strew the way of this
onward rush, sacrifices TO the evolu-
tion of man. Men preaching, warriors.
poets, philosophers make up this mass.
Writers and all up to now the drama
tist who has contributed his best that
men may evolve from brute force to
the highest he is capable of being.
PlG,s teaching lesson have become
the csvogue for the simple reason the
theatre occupies vastly different po-
sition than 1t ever did in the history
of civilization before, and now 1t is
looked upon as teacher along with
being simply place to laugh at some
grotesque buffonery. For instance
the big successes of the stage in the
past three years are: paid in Full, !"
The Lion and the Mouse;" 'The Ser
want in the House," "The Easiest
Way" Just a Wife, all plays with
"a purpose. Added to this list may be
Cast Aside" the big success of the
present season. It is a play by L. B.
Parker. who obtained his theme in
the ballad of the same title written
some years ago by Chas. X. Harris.
The play deals with the eternal qnes-
tion of the sex problem Mr.. Parker
has handled his theme in a remark
able way. blending his serious situa-
tions with comedy.
Cast Aside" will be the offering at
the Auditorium tonight. Prices Csc,
s5c and SOC, reduced from regular
price of $1.OO.

supported him for the gubernatorial
nomination at Saratoga, are known to
be behind the movement to send him
to the senate, If Senator Root should
retire. They admire him for the cour-
Iageous fight he made in the face Of
heavy odds. They argue that the 242
votes which he received in the con-
vention indicate only his personal
strength and that politically. he
would have headed an even more
formidable movement had it not been
for the disposition Of many men who
opposed Colonel Roosevelt in other
particulars to place the responsibility
for the selection of the candidate un-
qualifiedly ON the colonels shoulders.

President Ascertdined Sentiment of Cabinet
Members on appointment of Root at Recent
"House Pary"---Friends of Bennett Will
Boost for Roots Appointment in Order
to Clear Way for Bennett to United
States Senate---RoOt Will Only
Accept As Chef Justice.

Washington, D. c., Oct 1S.-Follow-
ing Senator Roots visit to Beverly
comes the interesting information
from positive sources that President
Taft is convinced that if Senator Root
lis to go on the supreme court bench
III must be as chief Justice. The belief
that the senator is under considera-
tion for the post is quite general
among republicans-so general, indeed
that word has been brought here to
the effect that already efforts are in
the making to promote Represents
tive William S. Bennett to the post to
be vacated by Mr.. Root.
The sentiment of the cabinet with
regard to the possible appointment of
Senator Root is said TO have been as
certained by President Taft at the
recent cabinet house party" The
only possible objection that was dis
cussed was the criticism that might
be made of the administration for TAX
ing two of the supreme court justices
Hughes and Root-from one state.
This was met by the argument that
geographical conditions never had act
uated the selection of chief justice
and that such objection would fall in
the event that one New Yorker was
named for the chief justiceship and
another for justiceship.
1t was not made clear at the time
that President Taft had Senator Root
In mind for the higher post. 1t was
supposed that his choice rested on
Charles d. Hughes, although no detin-
lite understanding between the presi-
dent and Governor Hughes existed on
that point. But now it is said that

PARSONS MANAGER SAYS
Cast ASIDE WAS FINE

The manager of the Rasback theatre
at Parsons telephoned to the manage

that he could not say too much in
praise of Cast Aside" the play which
was presented last night at Parsons.
The Parsons manager said it was one
of the best he had ever had in his
house and that he would personally
guarantee the show. The name of the
play is somewhat misleading and for
that reason the managers along the
line are taking It upon themselves to
inform the people of the true merit

demonstrates beyond a doubt that change
Is needed. He said he believes the law
he will propose will meet the same APP
proyal it has met in Massachusetts.
81 believe IL will be passed" he said.
There is every reason why II should be.
II has been tried in Massachusetts and
fought through the courts on the question
Of consituuonality. The supreme court
upheld il.
The law differs from our Australian bal
lot law in three important features; the
abolition OF the party circle, the placing
OF the candidates square 70 the left In
stead Of 10 the right Of the candidate S
name. and the prohibition Of aid 20 voters.
1.-The abolition Of the party circle makes
Il necessary Tor the voter TO make a
separate cross for every man for whom he
votes. II prevents poor candidates who
could not be elected on their own merits,
from being carried through by popular
candidates at the head Of the tickets. IL
compels every candidate TO stand upon
his own feet and win or lose. The only
way man can vote it straight is 20 start
al the top OF the column and make d cross
IN the square Of each candidate an the way

County Clerk ID NJ. Haverly. chairman Of
the board. said the board does not know
what 1t will do In the matter.
Alvin johnson, secretary Of the re-
publican congressional committee and
Judge Sutton's representative during
the canvass said: 81 am looking the mat
ter up. [ don't know whether or not we
shall ask TO have the vote thrown out 1
can't say anytime more than that at this
time"
ii is understood that II the canvasslng
board. either on its own initiative or at
request Of Judge sutton, attempts to
throw out the precinct vote Lobeck will
start legal proceedings to prevent such
action.
After each voter has cast his vote the
election board is supposed 10 write his
name IN the poll book so that he cannot
return and vote again. For this purpose
sufficient pages are placed Ia the poll
books in the poll books OF the Second
precinct OF the second ward these pages
were blank. From them Il appears that
the election board had no way OF knowing
whether or not any one voted two OF more
times.
