the impression one receives from wit.
Messing "The Rosary as presented at
the Morris Grand theatre Tuesday
evening to large aud appreciative
audience.
The lines Of the play run the gamut
of emotions, but all are blended so skill
fully and harmoniously that the whole
effect upon the audience is one of pleas
ure. A strong religious thought per.
vades tha play from beginning to end
and serves to hold the attention and
interest more firmly. The play deals
with a wealthy young man and his
beautiful young wife, the former an
unbeliever and the latter devout
Christian. They are happy in spite of
the difference in views A trusted
friend proves the serpent.
The husband believes in the unfaith-
fullness of his wife and casting reason
to the winds, forces her from him. His
fortune is swept away and he reaches
the depths of humanity. Both man and
wife become wanderers, although in diff
ferent paths Through the efforts of
his friend, the village priest, happy
reconciliation comes and the man en-
braces the faith.
Robert Harland, who has the role of
Father Kelley, the priest, is ideal in
the part. II. l.. Atchley as Bruce Will
ton, the husband, is strong actor and
appears to the best advantage in the
role. Leroy McNicol as Kenward
Wright, who proves the serpent in the
home, does good work in that thankless
part. Barrett Carmen as Charley Har-
row and Henry Wyatt AS Lee Martin,
the reformed burglar, both do justice
to their respective roles.
| Hazel Haslan, in the dual role of Mrs.
Wilton and her twin sister, Alice Marsh,
is exceptionally good in the characters
and shows talent of a high order. Laura
England as Lesura Watkins the New
England girl who could not discern a
Joke, and Mildred Barnett as Kathleen
O'Connor, Father Kelley's niece, did
most competent work.

Is a Candidate For The Nomina-
ton For Reelection For
Congress.

Congressman Eben w. Martin, of
Deadwood, has come out in strong
endorsement of President Taft, and de-
clares that he will support him for re-
nomination and that he is the only re.
publican who Jan be elected president
next year. Mr.. Martin declares him
self in thorough accord with the poll
cies OF the president and pronounces
them progressive republican doctrines
His announcement is as follows.
II shall support the nomination and
re- e-eleotion of President Taft. He was
called to the presidency four years ago
as the unanimous choice of republicans.
and nothing has since occurred to just
ify his desertion by anyone who desires
the supremacy of republican policies.
The big questions of the next admin
istration are tariff, the regulation of
corporations, and the promotion of
universal peace. On all of these ques
tions the president is sound and pro-
gressive.
He insists upon schedule by schedule
revision of the tariff, upon scientific
basis representing the difference in cost
OF production at home and abroad
This is the most advanced republican
doctrine on the tariff. Only by holding
to this position can republicans hope
to win before the American people.
This is a totally different proposition
from democratic revision framed up
for politica! convenience to put some
body in hole. The president is the
foe of private monopoly and upholds

The president is q great, conscien

in full sympathy with the cause of the
people. He is the only man whom re-
publicans can hope to nominate and
elect in 1912.
The great body of South Dakots
people are fair minded and just. They
will have full opportunity to assert
their loyalty to the president and hi,
administration. State and county
Taft clubs should soon be organized
throughout the state. The under
current Of Taft sentiment is strong il
all parts of the state and will be mani

is that the delegation from South Da
