Edward Knoblauchs Oriental drama, T<smet, now in
its third in America with Otis Skinner in the role of
Hail the Beggar is fine and inspiring illustration of the fact
that there always warm welcome ready these days
OF ephemera and sensational for work of sound as
try sincerity and artistic dignity Kismet possesses in large
degree all of these qualities and the credit public taste
and dscenmen that has achieved the widest popular
both here and abroad OF almost play written the present
generation. This appreciation of Kisme and its simultaneous
in practically every country in which the theater is
established of the remarkable features the brief
history of this very remarkable play.
The author Mr. Knoblauch is American by birth,
graduate Of Harvard and has his credit number Of
full plays including Shuamite The Cottage in the Air
The Faun, and Mestones in which he elaborated with
Arnold Bennett During stay Tuns the author became
deeply interested in the study of Oriental literature and of the
Oriental character and for information and intelligent insight
into the subject he naturally turned the works that mas
Orenast Sir Richard Burton Out of the mass of fasc
mating material contained in Burtons translation of The
Arabian Nights he conceived the plot and incidents of Ks
mst-though Kismet is direct dramatzation of any
of the tales.
Having stepped himself in the atmosphere and legendrv
of the Orient Mr. Knobauch brought the task of making
the play perfect and complete knowledge of the of drama
urgy The play when dssected is found be without flaw
construction though oddly enough this excellence not
the casual observer because of the beauty of the stage
pictures the apdy of the physical movement and the charm
ing poetic quality of the dialogue Indeed the glory of ks
met that perfectly balanced work both in its abrca
ton and presentation
When, after several years of work Mr. KnobIauch COM
peted the play, he submitted it Oscar Asche the English
actormanager who produced at the Garck Theaer on
don in April 9l So great the of the drama
that it played continuously the Garck for year
Meanwhile the American rights secured by Harrison
Grey Fiske who company with Kaw & Eranger produced
the play magnificent scale, first in Washington and then
at the Kncksrbocker heater New York beginning Christ
Day, GIL what proved be an enormously successful
of FIVE months During that period Kismet was also
produced with success in France Germany Australia and Italy
Last the second in the history of the play on the
American Mr. Skinner and the company made tour of
the principal cities in the Eastern States meeting everywhere
with the that had been attained by the play and

Word has been received by the
editor that estimates for the pro-
posed stock yards and chutes for
the Colville station are now being
considered in st. Paul, and that
the yards will be built as soon as
the weather permits. For some
years an effort has been made to
secure such yards for the con-
venience of shippers at Colville,
and petitions have been prepared
to send to the public service COM
mission. But the announcement
that the railroad will build quickly
may head off the sending in of
the petitions.

An Industrial I
Awakening

An industrial awakening that
will put the panic preachers 70
shame" was promised by demor
cratic leader Underwood after
republicans in the house had
painted dark pictures of ruin and
desolation as the result of demo-
cratic legislation.
''The democratic party" Mr
Underwood asserted, has
achieved for the American people
more than has been accomplished
heretofore in the history of our
government. We have procured
the results which the republican
party struggled for in the course
of 20 years the results which
they gave their pledge to obtain
and which for term after term of
congress were left undone. \
look forward to unusual prosper
ity throughout the country in the
next year"
The democratic leader said the
steel mills in his district were
working double shifts, despite
the fact that practically all of
their product was put on the free
list in the democratic tariff bill.
Business in the Pittsburg steel
district, he said, was also improve
ing. lie quoted John Wanamak1

When Secretary Daniels re-
jected the bids of the armor plate
n anufacturers a few months ago.
because he considered their pric-
es exorbitant, he declared that he,
would open the bidding to foreign
competition rather than allow the
government to be bled by a COM
bination of domestic. manufac-,
turers. The secretary was CEN
sured severely by some of the
manufacturers and newspapers
because it was feared that this
action would result in closing
some of the American armor
plate factories and throwing
American workmen out of en-
ployment. Nothing of the kind
happened. New bids were in
vited and the contract has just
been awarded at almost an even
81, 100000 less than the lowest of
the bids first offered. The note
worthy part of it is that foreign
corporations did not get the
work, because they were under
bid by two of the American COM
panies. The incident shows what
a little healthy competition will
do and also shows that the armor
plate industry needs no protection
from competitor with "the pauper
labor of Europe. Tacoma Trib-

February 5th is the date which
has been selected for the observ-
ance of Apple day this year.
Committees from the Washing
ton state horticultural associa-
ton, numerous fruit growers or
ganizations and commercial bod
les have made this decision, be-
lieving it to be the most appro-
pirate time to observe the event,
the principal reason being that
more varieties of Washington ap-
Piles are edible at this time than
at any other; furthermore, it is a
time when effort is needed to
awaken activity in the apple mar
ket, which naturally subsidies af-
ter the holidays.
