"Cousin Kate"


1t is a regretable fact that only a
very small audience greeted the ap-
pearance of cousin Kate" at the
Oregon last night for the production,
by its own merits, was deserving of a
good patronage. Jeanette Russell in
the leading role is an actress of con-
siderable ability. but to any one who
saw Alberta Gallatin several years ago
in the same part, she must have been
little disappointing. The support
accorded Miss Russell last night was
in every way strong enough to round
out a thoroughly wholesome play.
Those few people who did attend
last night were subjected to more or
less annoyance by the continual dis
turbance. on the part of some young
men whose misconception of enjoy
ment seems entirely to exclude all
consideration of others. Such dis
turbances are growing quite frequent
of late much to the disgust of those
who so to be entertained from the

The man who favors the brewery
and the saloon, ard thinks II larg"
majority of the people of Missouri
are in favor Of the legalized liquor
traffic, should not he afraid or OPP
posed to giving the people chance
to express themselves at the ballot
box. No man who favorS, or pre-
fers, a government of the people,
and for the people, andlhy the peo-
pie, should be afraid or opposed to
ii hallot-hoX expression on any sub
iect. Then why not circulate the
initiative petitions and bring on the
conflict as soon as possible?
A preacher with very good heart,
but with whose judgmcnt:we CAL

outlaws.

Joy IN ONES PROPER WORK
Greatest Pleasure In Life is Doing
Task That One Has Long

The truth is that pleasure is a by
product Of work The man who has
something to do that no wants to do
intensely. ard that he is able ut last
to do, gets pleasure as fee. as a
tip, as an extra allowance. Perhaps
the keenest JOY In life Is to accom-
pllsh what you have long sought to
do, even II you feel that the result
might be a little better than you have
achieved Possibly the most exuuis
lite qualification comes from the con
sciousness Of good Job well done
The foolish talk about the curse of
labor is responsible for much OF the
haste to gain wealth that we may re-
tire into idlCness But IL we are non.
est with ourselves We know chat labor
blessing. The theory that work In
itself Is painful, or that It is the duty
only of interiors, is essentially aristo-
cratic and fundamentally feudal; It is
hostile to the democratic ideal. Work
Is what sweetens life and gives de.
light to all our days. That man is
happiest and gets the utmost out OF
life who is neither poor nor rich and
who Is in love with his job, joylng in
the work that comes to his hands
