done more for pimples, blackheads

other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfgured infants

NHW YORK, Nov. - Comment
on the approaching election OF a Re
publican vice presidential nominee to
receive the IL electoral votes OF
Idaho, Vermont and Utah has
brought out the fact that several
members and officers of the Repub-
llcan national committee favor the
designation OF nominee from one
Of those states.
The results of Tuesdays election
-haye made the filling of Vice Presi-
dent Sherman Is place On the ticket
an appointment of purely an honory
character and suggestions have been
made that the honors should go to
some Republican Of one of the three
states carried by Taft.
1t is said Senator Borah of Idaho,
who was suggested by several men,
bers Of the committee and Governor
Meade Of Vermont, whose name was
proposed before the Chicago conyen-
ton, are both favored.
\ When the National committee
meets in Chicago November IL to Sc
lect the candidate it is not bound to
designate any person, IL majority
of the committee members favor
leaving the nomination to the cleo
tors themselves. Such action would
make 1t possible for each group OF
four Republican electors to cast their
votes for men from their respective
states.
If the national committee makes
the designation, Governor Hadley Of
Missouri, in any event, would have
the support Of a large number of the
members.

A GOOD DRAMA.

Mountain Home people have wit.
messed some very good plays 50 far
this season. In fact several Of the
plays presented are far ahead ot
plays usually attempted In town
of this size. This proves Of course
that the people here appreciate such
plays and prove it by their patron
age.
In my opinion the best play thus
far presented here this season is
the Third Degree. played Wednesday
night last The players were all
good but especially 70 the character
OF Annie. Miss Gertrude Richie has
a wonderful facility Of throwing her
sould into her work and making her
part seem as natural as life. Law
yer Brewster and Jefferies Sr. are
good parts and were certainly we'll
played. Lady Jefferies talked q little
too fast and failed to put the emo
ton into her part naturally expect
ed In such trying circumstances
Jefferies Jr. did his part we'll but the
voice was suggestive Of much older
man than he Is supposed to BE-,
rather unnatural.
ft i "
We need more OF these high class
plays and we need wider and big
ger appreciation OF such plays. II
people would frequent the poor class
OF shows less and patronize the bet
ter ones, the cost would be less In the
end and the results better. Such
plays az the Third Degree give us
true pictures Of human life and ma
ture. OF course there are plays
even more educations! and entertain
ing and these will come to US a. We
show our appreciation OF them.
What we dc need here is thea
ter with a proper staging and proper
seating. This town can and will sup
port better house. Many Of the
better companies cannot now play
here because the stage IA too small
and special scenery cannot be used.
People sometimes 90 to Boise to see
plays because there they get var
|ety OF scenes adapted to the
plays. A Lover Of Good Plays.
