CHECKERS" PLEASES
 FINE RACING PLAY

Checkers probably the best rae ing play ever written. was presented at the Orpheum before a large audi ence in a very satisfactory manner. The story Of the play. which as ad- yertised. deal with racinig horses and winning hearts. also includes other features, such as view Qi Hot Springs life during the old days. and rural scenes that are at least very amusing.
 As presented here. the play was staged in an elaborate style, and the work of the actors was of d high or der.
 There many laughs in the play that go well, and also plenty O thrills and pathos. so that during the production almost all the emotions are appealed to
 The cast was so well balanced that it is hard to praise any individ- ual without naming them all. Flor snce Heston. as Pert Barlow, was a charmiing leading lady, while in the title role Robert Cavanaugh proved a worthy successor to Tom Ross who became a star in his acting Of the part. Dave Braham in the part Of Push Miller, the race track tout, sue cceded in winning the good feelings of the audience for a character which is usually despised. Among the others. George Martin az Uncle Jerry" Halter. Joseph Wilkes as Ad- rian Barlow. Olive Thomas as Sadie Martin, Carrie Lamont as Cynthy, end Edward Perry. Harry Mckenzie and Wheeler Oakman as the three ''rubes." all played their parts in a manner to win hearty applause. , Although this is the first appear

TALKING ABOUT STRAWS.

The Billings (Mont.) Daily Gazette,
which has been a strong Roosevelt pa.
per until recently, has come over to
Taft, the editor giving his reasons for
the change in a d"ouble-column article
declaring that he sees no hope fer the
success Of the Third Term party. and
IS convinced that the cause of real re.
form can be best promoted by con.
tfnuing the Republican party in power,
The article particularly emphasizes
the danger of bringing about adverse
business conditions through a change
in administration, and points out the
steady advance which has been made
under Republican policies. 1t is a
most significant editorial, and as the
Gazette is the most important paper in
Montana, it's influence upon the cleo.
ton can hardly be measured. 1t is only
another one Of the innumerable signs
that the Third Term party has col.
lapsed, that the country realizes the
fight is between the Republican party
and the Democratic party, and that no
possible benefit could be derived from
o change.
