"Is 1t agreeable at Washington"
was asked in a sarcastic manner by a
prominent republican editor of the
state at the meeting of the state cen
trail committee This was very signi-
ficant question. It shows the utter
prostitution to which the so-called re-
publican party is now being subjected.
It shows the utter lack of independent
thought among the crowd now in con-
troll of the republican machines. 1t
shows that for the purpose of getting
few post Offices everything must be
measured in the Washington balance.

Columbia.

In 1.-The Great Divide by William
Vaughn Moody, which is the offering of
the Columbia Players at the Columbia
Theater this week. the stock organization
won an ovation from an audience that
filled every seat in the house. The APP
plause was not only general and gener-
Gus, but it Brought up the curtain several
times at the end of each act.
In the leading roles, as Ruth Jordan
and Stephen Client. Julia Dean and Paul
McAlister were the recipients of warm
expressions of appreciation. Both put lite
and spirit into their parts and were very
effective in the strong scenes OF the play.
Although Miss Dean has established
herself as a warm favorite with Local
audiences and shown her ability in many
roles in the past, her work of last even
ing seemed especially to please her ad-
mirers.
At the opening of the play she repre-
sents IA grish young woman filled with
the joy of living and enchanted with
! the wild scenes of the west. In her fear
less devotion to the ranch which she
runs with her brother she remains alone
at night in their cabin and is attacked
by three drunken ruffians. She prom
ises to mary one if he saves her from,
disgrace. and in keeping her word her
comes a self-inficted tragedy until the
end. of the last act. The highest point
of her despair is portrayed in the scene
of the second act where she is bought
for a string of gold nuggets.
Paul McAllister as Paul Client. the
drunken ruffian who marries and then
falls in love with Ruth Jordan, PLAYS
his difficult part well. He is consistent
throughout the performance, and the
audience was equally consistent in APP
plauding him time and time again. In
the last act he is particularly good.
Phillis Sherwood was pleasing In the
sympathetic role of Polly Jordan, and
Emelie Melville gave a good representa-
ton of the motherly Mrs. Jordan. James
Morrison as Philip Jordan gave good
portrayal of the unsympathetic brother
of Ruth Jordan. Everett Butterfield was
excellent as Winthrop Newberry, and
Walter Wilson made the most out of the
part of Lon Anderson.

for those who witnessed the performance
at the National Theater last evening.
Those who greeted it as an old, favorite
