SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS.

Sheriff Byers has issued an order
that all theaters i'm Houghton county
must be closed on Sundays. This act
ion follows the campaign recently in
augurated by some Of the copper coun-
try ministers against Sunday enter
tainments In the moving picture and
vaudeville houses. 1t is against the
state law 10 open theaters TO the pub
lie on Sundays, but the law is not often
enforced. The matter in most COM
munities has been left largely TO pub
lie sentiment which seems to be a
higher authority In many cases than
the law itself. Whether the theater
proprietors Of the county will COM
ply with the sherin's orders remains
TO be seen but it is not unlikely that
some test cases will result. a large
part Of the population favors Sunday
theater amusement, many seeing no
harm in ii. These people feel that
10 close the theaters on Sundays would
be TO intrude upon their rights, and
with them the sheriffs order will not
be popular Nevertheless the law
against Sunday performances is on the
statute books and until it is repealed,
along with others that are spasmodi-
cally revived, il is possible TO enforce

THE COUNTY WILL BENEFIT.

Messrs. McLain and Martin, chair
man and engineer, respectively. OF the
Houghton county road commission,
have Just returned from the national
good roads convention at Rochester, n.
Y. Michigan was well represented by
delegates, standing third in the list
Of states, New York having the most
with Massachusetts next in line.
Messrs. McLain and Martin are both
enthusiastic over the good derived
from mingling with experts In road
building from all parts Of the coun-
try and Houghton county will profit
thereby. Practical talks on the dura-
bility and suitability OF various road
making materials and best methods OF
road building maintenance were feat
ures OF the meeting. No time was
wasted I'm arguments for good roads,
the advantages Of better highways be-
ing agreed upon at the outset, and
the delegates got down to a helpful dis
cussion OF how TO make the most per-
manent roads at the least cost. That

the people and a factor in lowering the
cost Of living by enabling the producer

RUSSIAN PASSPORT QUESTION.

The Russian passport question IS
fast assuming a degree OF urgency
which will make further postponement
of its settlement impossible. In wash
ington the belief prevails that Russia
would like to grant the demand OF the
United States that American citizens
OF Jewish descent shall have the Same
privileges in Russia as others-that
Russia shall make no discrimination
between citizens Of the United States,
any more than does the United States
Itself. a recent statement from Wash
ington, likely TO have official inspira-
ton, is as follows:
There is believed TO be no objection
on the part of the Russian government
to the extension TO American Jews of
the privilege Of entering Russia, for
the reason that most of these Jews are
well satisfied with America as a place
OF abode. But there is said TO be
serious objection on the part Of the
Russian government 20 opening the
country to the free entry Of the great
body Of Polish and French and orient
al Jews II is believed a way has beer
found to meet this difficulty.
From Washington also comes tho
report that NJ. Bakhmetieff, the newly
appointed Russian Ambassador, comes

protest in that city by American citi-
zens irrespective of descent or creed
will hasten the matter to a focus. The
charge that the American demand has
been only feebly presented because OF
fear that insistence might cause the
loss of trade arouses resentment.
Where dollars are in one scale and
principle in the other it would nout
traditions which patriotic Americans
hold dear for the state department to
regard the dollars and neglect the
principle.

that business is bad from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.
Too many theaters, moving picture
shows, and bad plays are some of the
things that represent the slump i'm tho
theatrical business. The statement Is
based on the following interviews with
managers and actors in various parts
of the United states.
Chicago-Theatrica managers do not

Atlanta-"The public is growing

George. manager of the Atlanta thea
ter, and only the best plays are get
ing by now on the road. The chief
reason for failing shows is the fact that
aspiring managers with small bank
rolls put shows on the road with infe-
rior casts and scenery"
Business Situation Blamed.
New Orleans-Henry Greenwald, a
theatrical manager said: 1t is the
condition of the country and not the
character of the productions that is
Irresponsible for the poor theatrical bus
mess. The principal contributing cause
for this is the antitrust agitation.

houses.
Standardization Faversham Is
playing at the Lyric theater this week
in The Faun." He said: THE whole
trouble lies in the fact that there are
too many theaters. Men with little
money, who think they are managers,
produce tin plate plays with men who
think they are actors and the result is
failure"
Observation-Disclosures and motion
picture houses are chiefly responsible
for the falling off in theatrical bust
ness, declared c. j. Bennett, manager
of the Shubert theater.
