Sir tombstone Forbes Robertson is

after he has made a tour in some Of
his old successes, the stage will no
more know him as a player.
Coming down TO the argument Of
this letter, can readily see why they

more than 40 years. The average

time at his desk, is ready to retire
Sir tombstone is now 81 years of age,
and If he feels that the declining
years of his life should be spent in
the quiet of a home, has he not the
right to take the steps toward such
q course? Mr.. Sothern is somewhat
younger; he IS but so, but out of his
half century span of existence he has
spent most Of his time on the stage.
To those who know the stage only
from the orchestra pit. the fact that
acting is hard work does not occur.
But nevertheless, following the theat-

Two Well Known Stage Fa-

EW YORK, March 21.-A retir-

victory must be given for announcing
that they will retire"
OF course we shall all regret the

the last bit Of grease paint from his
face, Just as we also shall experience

the question from both the players

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

Mexico City, June 9.-The Huerta

A while ago 1 heard of a case that
proves this whole point. A boy lived
over on the West Side in crowded
district, and the only place to play
was in the alleys. He was run off
the streets. There were no vacant
lots free. And it was too far and it
cost car fare to go to a playground.
The boy stole and was sent to Pom
tiac. He CAME back to the same
neighborhood. He stole again and
went to Pontiac. He developed into
a first-class little crook, always on
the lookout for excitement and plum
der.
Then the family moved to a fiat
near Jackson Park. For the first time
in his life the boy had all the room he
wanted to run and jump and play
leapfrog and wrestle where there was
real grass.
He has never been to Pontiac since.
He is changed boy. All he needed
was room to grow. understand Mr..

MAY VOTE ON PANAMA CANAL
TOLLS TONIGHT

Washington, June ga vote on
the tolls exemption repeal bill may be
taken late tonight, Senator Simmons,
leader of the repeal forces, predicted
today. The actual time of the roll
call, however, seemed more distant
to most of the Senators.
1t is expected two long set speeches
by Senators PoindeXter and La Fol-
lette will occupy most of today. Then
will come the question as to whether
the Senators are through with regU-
lar speeches, or whether considera-
ton of the amendments may be be-
gun.
President Wilson said fatty today
that the Norris amendment to the
Panama Canal tolls repeal bill is un-
necessary. At the same time he de-
clined to indicate whether he would
approve the bill if passed as so
amended.

said the United States desired no more

a self governing unit. The Monroe doc

for self-government The United States
desired no European government in
America because it wished to dedicate
the American continent to self-sovern-

Referring to Mexico, Mr. Page said
the United States could send army
into the southern republic to harry the
land, but that would be to establish

A Big Year
For Nationally
Advertised Goods

Mr.. Merchant, this message is
written after d careful and ex-

This is going TO be a big year
for standard goods of recognized
quality because the manufacturers
are going to make more deter
mined efforts to push them than
ever before
Newspaper advertising in news
papers such as this will be large
~ used. And it is going to be
pushed with the greatest vigor,
and bring the best results in the
places where the local merchants
are ready to cooperate.
The manufacturers are willing
to spend money to make q mar
ket at your doorstep. but they
want you to let the people know
that the goods can be had In your
store.
They will send the trade your
way if you are willing to care for
II when 1t comes.
When such condition exists,
the live merchant should need no
urging 70 do his share.
Let us suggest that you get in
touch with the manufacturers
whose lines you carry. and let
them know just what you are pre-
pared to do in tho way Of coop
erative work.
1t will mean better business for
both Of you.
