cost it would seem ought to be borne
by all classes and by all property;
and inasmuch as the first cost of
this improvement will be many fold
greater than the annual cost of keep

IL would not be an injustice to re-
quire a fair proportion of this first
cost to be paid by the rising genera

the improvement. Therefore, in order
to equalize this expense, it is suggest

Road Building.

The state Of Idaho needs more
good laws along the line of building
good roads. There is no longer any
question that good roads can be
built, neither is there any dispute
that their construction would prove
great advantage to all communi-
ties-a paying investment; but how
to provide the funds necessary to ac-
complish the good and great work is
the problem awaiting adjustment
The farmer would seem to have the
greatest economical interest in road

it would insure to him in trans
porting his products to market. 1t
would prove a great saving of labor
and time. and. more important, would
be the fact that he could choose
his own season for hauling his pro-
ducts, not being required to study
the conditions of the roads, which at
certain seasons under the present
system are almost impossible and
crops that could be marketed at a
Jorge profit are held in barn and bin
to await the moderate improving pro
cess of Nature. But the tradespeopls
have also a direct interest in goot
roads that are fitted for travel at al
times of the year Their business
is dependent upon the farmers di
rectly and indirectly, and the same
may be said Of nearly every industr.

America was concerned, until a tenta-

The Virgin Mary is boldly yet rev.

the worker of a spectacular miracle.
The chapel of a nunnery has a statue
of the most adored of Catholic saints.
The beautiful Sister Beatrice kneels
down before the image whose pure face
her own resembles. 1t is her duty to
prepare for the sisters daily matin rite;
but this time, instead, she puts off her
robe of virginity, puts on the cloak of a
princes sweetheart and runs away
with him. That is the natural part of
an old legend as told by Maeterlinck.

COLONIAL THEATRE.

Henry B. Harris is sending that mar
velously successful play, The Lion and
the Mouse" to the Colonial this week. Il
has been said that the Charles Klein play
added its mite to the cause, and had
something to do with the prosecution OF
law violations by the trusts. This Is not
beyond belief. Miss TarbelPs history of

show how the financial business, social
and political life of the nation could be IN

mating personality and will, and stoop TO
unknown, unheard-of depths to accom-
plish his own ends.
The Congress of the nation and the SUI
preme court, the judiciary of the states
and all of the great political parties were
made to do his bidding, and because one
man sitting on the bench OF the highest
tribunal in the land rendered adverse de-
cisions, the money king first ruined him
and then proceeded TO send the upright
judge to a dishonored grave.
The daughter of the honest JuTist is
called home from a European trip to learn
of her fathers ruin, and she determines
to save his honor, If not his life. Shir'
ley Rossmore, daughter of the Judge,
writes book 1.-THE Octopus" which falls
into the hands of John Burkett. Ryder.
AS he turns the pages of the book, he is
amazed to find that the central figure is
himself. The man of "a thousand mil
lions sends for Sarah Green, the au-
thoress, who is. of course, Shirley Ross
more. Her apparent frankness, wit and
cIeverness captivate Ryder, who employs
her to write his autobiography, and she
becomes a member of the household. The
girl so entWines herself about her en-

con, from marrying that Rossm0re girl, -
urges Sarah Green" to become his
daughter-in-law. This arouses all the
womanhood in the girl, who reveals her
identity, and is ordered from the Ryder
palace.

father he will leave with Shirley and wed

fiirt. The man gave a bracelet to the
girl; and when the woman accused her
of stealing it, he offered to break up
the family and start anew with one
whom he deemed his affinity; but she
said that, besides doting altogether on
a stage career. she was going to mar
ry her promoter. 1t was a neat, witty
comedy, and had Billie Burke for its

widow and a widower consecrated to
the memory of a deceased mates. They
got together with their sympathetic
souls and stayed together with their af-
fectionate hearts for a new trial of
wedlock. Their transit from grief to
gaiety was complete when he, fiddling
for consolation, caught her dancing to
his music for solace.
Two principal actresses had mishaps
at this charity matinee. Isabelle Ir-

her complexion to be shattered like

Billie Burke, the protector of the af-
fair, may have felt more broken up,
metaphorically, by the cold that hit
and hoarsened her for singing as well
as Edna May does. Pretty Billie, an
American, started on the London stage,
like Edna here, as a chorus girl. This
afternoon she meant to show how she
had sang herself from obscurity into
popularity as a soubrette. She would
sing the ballad that had made her
London favoTite. She was the starred
actress in 1.-The School Girl" yet Les

THE AMERICAN LORD"

Charles B. Hanford in a modern play
is an announcement that rings strangely
In the ears of playgoers who have seen
him in the great roles of the classic
drama. But the announcement carries a
thrill of compelling interest with its sur
prise, for the prospect Of seeing CHAR
acter of present time and people por-
trayed with the vivid human interest
which Mr.. Hanford has given to such roles
as Marc Antony and Shylock must arrest
attention. AS q rule the modern Amer
lean type is represented on the stage as
a purely comedy creation. Mr.. Hanford
gives the title role in THE American
Lord" his offering for the season, the
benefits of a training in the heroic
moods of an Othello. as well as in the
graceful suavity of a Benedick. The play
has already been tested in the competent
hands of William II. Crane, and its sue
success is an assured fact. It is play
that deals with conditions of today, han
