Whatever else may be said of Row
land & clifford's new production The
Rosary which comes to the Grand
Monday. September 16, the charge OF
imitation of other plays cannot be-
made.
The Rosary" practically breaks
new ground in the dramatic field and
proves a veritable surprise when the
curtain rises upon it.
The play is built upon a thoroughly
modern theme, viz: the influence OF
thought upon the lives and well-beine
of the men and women OF our present
day.
That thought intangible and evanes.
cent as it is, is still force, a power
theory that has for some time past
engaged the attention of our foremost
psychologists, but its portrayal upon
the stage has been neglected hereto.
fore
The Rosary" attacks the theme
boldly, it deals with the lives aud for.
tunes of little group of people living
in the beautiful West Chester coun-
try near New York City.
The husband is a disbeliever in all
religion, his wife woman of serious
conviction regarding faith in the things
of life unseen.
Strong in his belief and thoroughly
human, a priest moves through the
subtle story of the play, when doubts
come and the man and womans lives
are shattered, seemingly beyond hui
man power to repair this priest ana
lyzes the situation and the power of
his faith brings both the people whom
he loves back to happiness.
Mingled with the darker coIors of
human tragedy is a vein of natural
comedy evolved from the events which
occur during the action.

Frisco Increasing its Equipment.


The heavy crop movement, with its
consequent demands for an unusual
number of cars, has put the officials
of the Frisco on their toes to supply
equipment as rapidly as possible to the
patrons of the company
In order that this may be accont
plished, daily and weekly advices to
the agents. calling their attention to
conditions as they develop. will be sent
out by the transportation department.
In these adyices the average deten-
ton of equipment will be shown, and
it is hoped the agents will impress Up
on the shippers the need of promptly
loading and unloading cars.
If the time of detention of equip
ment is reduced by half, it means that
twice as many cars will be
available.
Therefore, the different departments
will keep the agents posted, not only
as to the number of hours equipment
was detained, but as to the number of
cars loaded each day and available
each day, in order that tLev may CO.
operate with the shippers in getting
best possible service.

Cars are not too plenty at present, but

ing, and when one Of the largest all

ed is demanding shipping facilities.
The whole problem is more than
one of cars and engines: 1t involves
even more largely the over-crowding
of division point and terminal facili-
ties; the possibilities Of interchange
of the heavy valume of traffic between
the varous railways; the capacity of
elevators and warehouses, etc.
This note of appeal is not written

our friends to take advantage at once
of any surplus carrying power the
railways now have in order to partly
avoid the congestion which is coming.

Ex-President Roosevelt is scheduled
to speak at Oklahoma City at the state
fair in September, presumably the
oath. AS the only ex-president he will
be greeted by one of the largest
crowds that have assembled at the
capital city in recent years. But as
the one and only genuine reformer
and friend of the people he will win
very little applause. Few of his hear
ers will be able to forget that he was
president for 80 months and that dur
ing that time of volcanic fury he fail
ed to curb a single trust, reduce a
single tariff schedule, or tighten one
of the many burdens under which a
nation groans today. 1t was talk of the
most infiamatory kind and not per-
formance of any kind that character
lied the administration of Roosevelt.
The plain, earnest people of the coun-
try, those who desire relief irrespec-
tive of the party that gives it, will
hardly turn today to man who never
kept platform obligation but who
multiplied offices and expenses as no
other president ever did.
