the malice of a disappointed lover and villain and the triumph of a priest over the destroying forces that caused this ruin. The scene is laid in the garden of the home of Bruce Wilton and his young bride near New York city. Bruce Wilton. hearing a noise dowhstanrs after the household had retired. discovers that his wife has come below stairs and he be- lieves it to he to meet another man. Of course the usual mystery sets in and Bruce Wilton's jealousy of his supposed rival succeeds in separating the couple and breaking up the home. But with sapolio like applications it vanshes by the end of the fourth act and all are again united.
 To Frank Kilday as Father Brian Kel- ly and Miss Mary Jordan Lea in her double portrayal of the twin sisters be long the honors of the cast. Johnny Philliber as Lee Martin. the butler at the Wilton home. and his comedy mate, Miss Helen McCabe, as the stold hand maiden of that same family. furnish the funniest fun of the show. Roy Laidlaw as Bruce Wilton has an easy presence but Eugene Dautell as Kenward Wright the villain. completely reverses his good start made in this role in the first and second acts before the final drop of the curtain
 The singing of hThe Rosary in the last act was exceptionally enjoyable as rendered by Miss Mabel Hamlin from the wings.

AN EXCELLENT SHOWING

KEOTA and Precinct IS may feel
satisfied with tho showing made by Mr..
Dodder, the local candidate for repre-
sentative. His vote of 1861 in the
county was the highest in his party for
any office in the gift Of the county,
with the exception Of that for Mr.. Hay
thorn, candidate for senator. In this
precinct. with the straight ballots Of
both old parties against him, he received
IA votes, which was considerably high
er than was given any other single
party candidate except Mr.. Taylor. who
received 163 votes. Locally, too. there

DIRECT LEGISLATION

NEARLY every individual has per-
sonal opinion Of prohibition, and will
vote for or against at every opportu-
nifty. This explains the abnormally
high percentage of the vote on the
statewide prohibition amendment ~
compared to that on other initiated and
referred measures. OF the thirty-two
measures submitted, it is noticeable
that those received high votes which
were described reasonably we'll in their
titles, especially in those precincts
where the insufficient publicity provided
by the old law failed to reach the cleo
torats. Thus, in Keota the fake eight
hour bill with a plausible title received
44 affirmative votes and 80 negative.
while the total vote on measures mad
equately described was as low rs 30.
Al rule. the local voters acted intelli-
gently. Only few were caught by
the false argument of some Of the
county and state papers, that il meas
ure was not understood it must be
vicious; and these few went down the
line marking against on every bill and
amendment. 1t il to be sincerely hoped
that the Direct Legislation League
pamphlet law has carried in the state.
20 that every registered voter may have
ample opportunity to become posted on
laws submitted in future. Even a. the
case now stands, direct legislation has
been vindicated in Colorado; altho it ID
evident that = presidential election is
not the best possible time for submis-
sion of proposed laws.

THE News editor has been made an

Nay. nay! This gink will encourage
convict road work with all the power Of

Quality Printing

ORIGINALITY and good taste in selection OF
~ ink, type and stock, in every little detail
of composition and press work-these must be COM
bned in the production of Quality Printing. The
mechanic and does produce the ordinary run
of printed unk-cheap fodder rushed thru the shop
with eye solely for the time sheet, and reprimand
from the boss if his per centum of profit is not
forthcoming at typothetae prices. Only the crafts
man can bring forth a work of merit and therein
the small printshop has the advantage of many a
large establishment with the mechanic predominant
on its pay rolls. Quality Printing is representative
of true art in that it is appropriate to the purpose
intended, embodying utility to the utmost degree.
The craftsmanprinter endeavors to fully understand
the purpose of the work he is set to accomplish,
and carries the idea of appropriateness, of utility
with him thru every detail of the labor The result
must be satisfactory and in such the price can
not help but be so.
