AURORA wins CUP.
j. C. Elliott Gave Best Picture Show,
Say Judges

The Commercial club loving cup went
to J. c. Elliott of the Aurora theater.
Thu Judges announced at the close of
the final show of the pipe organ-mov1ng
picture series at the Auditorium We'd
nesday night that the show put on last
Monday night by this motion picture
house excelled other entertainments in
the contest The judges were Secretary
Guy T Justfs, Miss Nannon Heron,
John B. Nicholson, D. NJ. Lane, and G.
j. Boeger.
I'm Judging the shows said Secre-
tary Justis, 1--WE judged as to variety
of subjects and their quality. We COM
pared the educational films with the
other educational films shown and the
comedy films with the comedy films,
etc. AS whole the show presented by
the Aurora graded up better than the
others. Each show, with one exception,
had some exceptionally good films The
best films made were shown. There
We're none of the cheap sensational
dramas that are often seen in the show
houses. The dramas were clean and
uplifting.
IT believe it would pay the local pic
ture houses to advertise that they show
at least one educational film in each
show. I believe they would get
larger attendance. There should be
something to feed the minds well as
the emotions of the people,"
The two features in the show given
by the Aurora that appealed to the
judges We're an educational film show
ing the process of making moving pic
lures, and a western scene depicting
the rush to the Cherokee Strip in 1898.
1T was that race to the Cherokee Strip
that helped to influence the judges
towards giving the loving cup to the
Aurora said Miss Heron. THE
Nicholas Nickleby pictures shown by
the Best theater were fine-they were
splendid. The animal picture in the
show given Tuesday evening by the
Crystal theater was Splendid
The Aurora will give three shows at
the Auditorium next Monday night.
Preceding each show MarshaIPs band
will play in conjunction with w. F.
Roehr on the pipe organ, and Prof.
Albert Shut has rendered the services
Of his 12-piece mandolin orchestra.
Eighteen prizes have been offered for
those selling the most tickets for Mon
day evening. Those entering the con-
tests for the Victor-Victrola and other
attractive prizes will have to pay for
their tickets in advance. The MANAGE
ment will refund the money on all tick
cts not sold by those in the contest.
There are prizes in W. F. Roehr's win
dow that will interest all classes of
people. There is an especially good as
sortment of prizes for the boys. Ten
thousand tickets have been printed.
The Iris theater gave the final show
of the series. There We're more than
8, 500 persons present. Faust was pre-
scented in two reels. The pictures were
colored, and some of the scenes were
decidedly pleasing to the eye. Other
subjects were: "A Record Romance -
"A String of Pearls" and "A New Con-
STABLE The Iris quartette sang, and
w. F. Roehr played a number of selec-
tions on the pipe organ that pleased.
The show was an excellent one.

ing out what the majority of the people

election and there are about 900 voters
in Oakland the nonannexat1on people Will
surely carry their point The petitions
for annexation which have been crcu-
lated argue that the public Improvements
that Topeka enjoys such as a lighting
system, a water system, fire and police
protection would be a great improvement
to the city of Oakland but the majority
of the people think their taxes are as
high as they want and don't feel they can
afford any more expense.

He calls his party the Progressive party.
What represents progress I'm It?
Does he call throwing his hat In tho

MIR. DIX's FAILURE.

Concerning Governor Dix, THE Au-
burn Citizen" which never says any
thing contrary to the ideas Of Mr..
Thomas Mott Osborne, of the Demo
cratic League and the Empire state
Democracy. has the following remarks
To make:
The course of Governor Dix has
shown a man not only stupid ana as
ingenious but one who has no fixed
political principles or policies. He mas
been a mere pawn in the game; an
agent through whom Murphy has
tried to perfect n Tammany machine
throughout the state. That is the rea-
son for the total failure Of Governor
Dix.
Total failure" is sweeping condem-
nation. and the accuracy Of it depends
on the point Of view. Neither Murphy
nor the Governor would admit II. Mr.
Dix has enjoyed the honors of the Gov
ernorship for two years. He has quite
the handSOmcSt and most gold-braided
military staff eXtant, and no execu-
tive can look more amiable at great
or number of dinners aud other public
functions. He hes even invented a
uniform FOR the commander in chief OF
the states military forces. and has APP
pcarcd i'm il on several occasions with
signal distinction. Are these things TO
he accounted total failure The
Governor has given Murphy whatever
he wanted. lie has always appointed
10 Office men acceptable TO the organl-
zatlon' Where II was necessary to
satisfy the organization he and Mur-
phys Legislature co-opcrated in disin-
tegrating state departments doing ell
cient work so that they could be re-
assembled i'm such fashion as to pre-
sent greater opportunity In the line OF
Jobs and contracts. He has always APP
proved the Job grabbing schemes which
Murphys Civil Service Commission has
cooked up In his first year he had to
preserve q semblancc Of economy with
regard To the appropriations. but I'm thc'
second year he let "NIurphy's boys" 90
Tue lilllls
Murphy doesn't think the Governor
has been total failure. Indeed, he
AYERS that his record in office must be
the campaign material of Democracy
this year, and seems TO think no other
so fit TO be the standard bearer. Mr..
Osborne is q reformer and an idealist
in politics He probably bases his csti-
mate of the Governors failure" on
the opportunities he had and failed to
grasp and the promises he made which
he didn't keep. Murphy, on the other
hand. IS a boss and an intensely prac-
teal man He judges success or fail
urc not by ideals but by "the goods.
Governor Dix delivered "the goods Ia
Murphy. and that Is enough.
