she bound to a tree awaiting her fate,

thousand battleships? Clear waste of

SAYS the argumentative Bonnie
Terre Register:
ave would like to have a 2-cent
rate if we can get it, but to have laws
saying that a product shall be sold at a
certain price isout of reason. Just as
well have a law say that sugar shall
not be sold for more than 4 cents a
pound in Missouri. 1t would be just as
sensible"
The railroad is a public service cor
poration, chartered by the state, and
subject to certain conditions, one of
which is regular, timely servive, at
reasonable charge. 1t is a creature of
the State, and therefore subject to
regulation by the State. To make anal
agous the fixing by the State of rail
road fares and a declaration by it as to
what shall be charged for sugar by the
vendor, requires a logical l%ooseness
that is wonderful in its possibilities.

SlKEsToN STANDARD: "Some of the
papers in Northeast Missouri are in
favor of both Stone and Folk re-
firing from the 1914 race for U. s.
Senator in Missouri, 30 as to pre-
serve peace and and harmony in the
Democratic party. There will be no
disturbance of harmony down this
way for Stone will just run along as
smooth as ever. He is one of the big
gest senator's holding a seat in Wash
ington and it would be a slam on the
State to retire a man of his experience.
The publisher has known Senator
Stone for 25 years and knows that he
is a friend of his friends; at this par
ticular time his experience at State
craft should be taken in consideration.
If Governor Folk is after a senatorial
toga he should wait for the expiration
of Senator Reeds term and cast his
hat in the ring. This time his hat
would never hit the ground as Stone
will beat him to it. We are for your
Uncle William Of Gum Shoe fame."l

1t is quite a while since William H
Crane has been seen upon the local
stage and on this account there is
more than the usual pleasure. offered
in the announcement that he comes to
the Harnois Theater on April Is, and
will offer for the first time here his
newest success The Senator Keeps
House"
This latest Crane triumph is a COM
edy in four acts by Martha Morton,
which is located in Washington at
the present time and in which Mr.,
Crane is to be seen once more as a
member of the United States Senate.
Joseph Brooks who is directing the
tour selected the vehicle for Mr.. Crane
and was associated with him in the
original production of il at the GarriCk
theater last season where Mr.. Crane
scored such a pronounced hit that he
remained for -four months and devoted
the greater part of the season to New
York City alone. For the current
year he is booked for an extensive
tour which Mr.. Brooks mapped out
for him not only because of the popu-
lar success of his latest vehicle hut for
the very happy circumstance that this
happens to mark the fiftieth ear that
Mr.. Crane has been a figure of the
American stage.
1t is pleasant to contemplate that in
commemOration of that event Mr..
Crane has a comedy offering entirely
worthy of him. The verdict in New
York was that it presented him at his
best. The story is domestic in its
greater purpose with just a dramatic
spur traced to a land claim the sem
ator is asked to get through congress
contributing to the action. Miss
Martha Morton, the author of the play,
has contrived some splendid situations
out of these basic forces and she has
also woven in the required character
contracts, but above everything else
the humor which is so necessary in a
typical Crane offering. With Mr..
Crane in a %congenial role and a play
that appeals directly to an audience
the. combination offers enough to war
rant a pleasant engagement in every
respect.
The same production and the same
company that were features of the
metropolitan season will be in evidence
here. In the cast will be found Marion
kerby, Mabel Bert, Lorraine Frost,
Zeffie Tilbury, Raymond Walburn,
Harry Harwood, Charles Riegel, Jack
Devereaux, and Bud Woodthorpe.

picture for a return engagement on

OF viewing agar one of the greatest

Those who love battle scenes will
find in these. three reels plenty to hold
their attention. They portray some
of the more stirring events of the ride
made famous in American annals
chiefly through the poem of Il. B.
every schoolboy. 1t is a safe. and
conservative statement to say. that in
the third part of this production occur
some of the best and most realistic
battle scenes ever thrown on any
screen. We see. men fighting from
behind Entertainments; we see confed-
crate cavalry in action. There is APP
parentiy no attempt to save any ex-
pensG necessary to create the illusion
of battle. In line with this is the
scene of the field after the action is
over. a horse lends realism to this
view. He tries to rise; he gets on
his fore feet, but cannot get up. He
falls back and lies stretched out, as
though mortally wounded.

OF the c"ntederateS. History repeats
itself as the federal commander rallies
his men and turns them back to re-
trieVe their defeat. There are many
stirring scenes.
A love story runs through the three
reels. 1t touches the family history
Of the famous federal c~avalryman and
forms the thread of human interest.
William Clifford carries the role of
Sheridan, Victoria Forde and her al
ented mother, Eugenia Forde, have
prominent places in the cast and con-
tribute materially to the dramatic
quality of the picture. The women of
course viii be interested in the story
as a story. The male element with
out any doubt, however, will follow
the military features of the picture to
the exclusion of all other factors.
In the first part there are fine views
of the an~te-bellum interior, in fact,
much care is given to the setting
throughout. The Scenari is written
by Messrs. Dayton and Willis. the
Western Universal editors. Otis Tur-
ner is the producer. He has done
well. He has drawn freely on the
large forces at his disposal, and has
shown much skill in effectively placing
the masses of men so as to bring them
within the field of the camera.
