only, Thursday night. October ~
The company numbers fifteen people
and twelve of the parts are almost
equally important. This naturally

accounts for the fact that very few

prominence, namely, john l.. Rear

parts of the women are equally im-
'portant and require such actresses OF
note as Bertha IIreighoff, Nellie Nc
Henry, Martha Oatmnn and Caroline

and ncccssitatcs continual effort
from the entire cast to keep step with
the action Of tic comedy. which is SO
sapid that It would outdistance any
but most clever comedian. The

The Prescott daily news., 1914-09-28

"This straightforward statement coming from the nations chief execu- tive will aid very much in directing the attention of all thinking citizens to the true seriousness of the situa- tion, and it is hoped that the neces- sary action will be taken by those in authority to give his views the desired effect.
 Undoubtedly this great European war has opened the doors to many world markets which have heretofore been closed to us, and in order that we may take prompt advantage of these opportunities it is all the more neces- sary that our industrial machinery be maintained at the highest possible point of efficiency. A breakdown in our transportation facilities now would be fatal indeed
 With the power to make rates lodged in the Interstate Commerce Commission and the several States and with a closer surveillance of the issuance of all kinds of securities than ever before, the railroads are to- day absolutely in the hands of the people, as their will may be expressed through their lawmaking bodies. If the people are willing that the rail roads shall have living rates for the service they render-if they are will ing to protect them against assaults and unreasonable demands of one kind and another, We will make American railroad securities so highly respected as an investment that those of our fellow citizens who have mon ey-who are our only refuge in the present storm-will be glad to put their savings and accumulations into them"
The Prescott daily news., 1914-09-28

with the increased expenses work, I may cite the results of operation of the railroads of the country for the last fiscal year ended June 30, 1914. The gross earnings for the year were $44 ,000,000 less than those of 1913, but the expenses and taxes were $76,- 100000 more, making the net earnings for 1914 $12O,000,00O less than for 1913. This is $120,000,000 less to meet obligations. which no doubt had been increased during the year by the expenditure of new money for needed betterments or extensions.
 Wilson Realizes Situation.
 "I am glad to note that President Wilson realizes the seriousness of the situation, and that he is willing to aid in it's solution. In his letter to MT Trumbull, chairman of a committee of railroad presidents who called on him, he said in part:
 "'They are indispensable to our whole economic life and railway se- curities are at the very heart of most investments, large and small, public and private, by individuals and by in- stitutions.
 "I am confident there will be ear nest and active cooperation in this matter, perhaps the one common in- terest of our whole industrial life. =
 Extraordinary Emergency
 But the en ergency is in fact extra ordinary, and where there is manifest common interest we ought all cf us to speak out in it's behalf, and am glad to join you n calling attention to it. This is time for all to stand togeth- CT in united effort to comprerer ev- cry interest and serve and sustain it in every legitimate way.
