To the Voters of Stevens County,
MINI.
AS you have undoubtedly noticed
by the announcement in the papers, /

When making that announcement |

newspapers as a means to bring my
candidacy to the further notice of the
voters. While l fully realize that

cial medium in furthering the cause of
our civilization, and as such am one
of their champions, do not personal
~ care for newspaper publicity. With
that idea in mind it was my intention
to make my campaign through other
mediums and in pursuance of that
idea ] have, with the consent of some
of my clients. for which am greatly
: thankful. delayed several cases for
trial until the spring term of court
that the delay in the trial of which
f: would in no way ieopardize my clients
rights.
In spite of so delaying the comence-
ment of said cases l have concluded
that it would be almost impossible to
attend to my business and properly
and fairly conduct my candidacy in
justice to myself and to the voters
whose support solicit without the
instrumeHtaliity of the newspapers.
! This change of campaign Was due
to three reasons: 1st, That as much
as 7 like to, l find it will be impossi-
BILE to see all the voters personally
and give them the proper amount of
time concerning my candidacy to
which they entitled; End, on
acounut of s0me erroneous ideas that

impressed on the minds of the voters
who are entitled to facts; 3rd, Due
to the fact that one of the county
papers las put into issue the
qIes ton of the experience and
ability Of my opponent and myself the
purpOrt of which as l understand it.,
was to praise and laud his and belittle
mine, and concluding Herewith that
experience and ability was big re-

were mailed, sent and distributed not
alone to actual subscribers of said
Hancock Record but to the voters
throughout the county who were not of
themselves subscribers to said paper.
The first reason for using the news

second reason, will say-and anyone

HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY

In view of the fact that the Brook
ings city schools open for another year
next Monday, September 7th, the
Register is pleased to introduce to the
spection of the roll of teachers will
show that the plan of instruction is
meant to be thorough. The chief aim
is to give the best possible training to
the pupils, whether he intends to go to
college or not. Courses are offered
not only in the English branches, but
the ancient and foreign languages,
mathematics, history and the elements
of the sciences. To this is added com-
mercial and industrial training, man
ual training and the theory and prac-
tice of domestic economy and house
hold science, and, under certain re-
strictions, a pupil may select just such
studies as he may wish to persue.
From the standpoint of scholarship
the school ranks among the very best
and graduates from the school are ad-
mitted without examination to all the
universities and colleges belonging to
the North Central Association of col
leges and secondary schools.
No high school in the state enjoys
grounds more beautiful than those of
the Brookings high school. The cam
pus containing an entire block with
its beautiful trees and perfectly kept
lawn is all that could be desired.
Superintendent j.. w. Browning
Prof. Browning believes in boys and
girls, the men and women of the great
tomorrow. He is a close student of
education and is fully conversent with
the trend of present day educational
aims and methods, and the Bookings

most successful development under
his administration. The Register has

POLI'S.

If the production of David Belasco
The Lily" by the Poll Players TINS
week does nothing else. it will at least
convince patrons that n real stock COM
pany has been engaged for the pre-
sentation of plays at that house. Tfere
is something more than a leading man
and a leading woman in the orSaniza-
ton. =
This. of course, has been suspected
from tho first week of the new COM
pany by the excellence with which eacn
part was presented. II became dem
onstrated fact yesterday when The
Lily" was given its fist presentation.
and the audience saw the burden OF
the play borne oil the shoulders OF MISS
stanton and Mr.. Lowe. with MISS
kcmble and Mr. Mackay IN important
parts. but parts which were really sub
ordinate in dramatic interest to the
other two.
THE Lily tells the story of a selfish
nobleman. who has two daughters ne
IL bringing up in the seclusion OF
country home, and whose careers ne
Is sacrificing for his own comfort ana
convenience. The elder of the daugh-
ters quietly accepts her lot. discards
the man she loves at the behest OF her
father. and devotes herself to the man
agement of the home and the upbrins-
ing of her younger sister. When the
younger girl meets a married man with
whom she falls in love and with whom
she becomes seriously involved. the cid
er sister protects her from her father
wrath and their brothers selfish rage.
Miss Stanton has the part of the older
sister. and presents the character with
a quiet force that reaches great ell
max in the third act.
Mr.. Lowe plays the part Of the father
with a keen sense of all the subtle sug-
Eestion the part can develop. Miss
u emile gives the sister a SYM
pathetic presentation that was particu-
larly pleasing. and Mr.. Nackay. as
the artist-lover. was equally well cast.

thence and the complaint Is MADE mat
the commission Is not moving fast
enough. The Commissioners OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia are not unmindful or
the desires OF the people. For instance
on the question OF universal trans
fers. We know you want them. but I
am sure that If We should order these
transfers that you would want that
order to stick; You would not want II
TO be taken into court and set aside.
IL behooves the commission then to be
very sure that when II passes such an
order that II shall receive the sanction
or the court.
Another INV that has commanded
our thought and time" continued Mr.
Siddons. lis the Kenyon red light law.
Within an hour OF the time that II
became known that the President Of
the United States had affixed his sig
nature to that bill the order had gone
out to the police to close the red light
district. and that night not one OF those
wretched habitations Of sin was open.
and they never have been since.
But to say that the Kenyon Law
will get rid OF the veil back or the seq
regated district would be making q
rather broad statement. can only
say that the police are rendering effi-
Gent service to check the spread OF the
evil We are doing the very best In
our power to stamp out the evil that
the law has aimed to put an end to.

there has been a great deal OF COM

LEGISLATIVE WORK
Commissioner Gives Address
Before the North Washington
Citizens Association.

A review Of the more important Dis
trict legislation enacted under the pres
ent administration. including the public
utilities law, the Kenyon red light
law. the eight-hour law. and the Bor-
land amendment. was made last night
by Commissioner Siddons in an address
before the North Washington Citizens
Association. in the parish hall. Church
OF the Advent, Second and u streets
northwest. Mr.. Siddons also spoke OF
the work of the Board of Assessors of
the District. and expressed the belief
that the present assessments are fairer
than any heretofore made.
1T has been said for years that the
assessments in the District OF Column
bia have been unfair, and that favor
itism has been shown in the distribu-
ton OF the appropriations for public
improvements said Mr.. Siddons. The
Commissioners have undertaken to see
to what extent the chargBs might be
true, and, in so far as IL lay in their
power. to correct those injustices."
In referring to the work OF the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, Mr.. Slddons
pointed out that the valuation Of fhe

Those who have been advocating even
ings of one-act plays as an artistic
compromise between the three-act lie
Ultimate and the .lurid contrasts of the
average vaudeville bill, might be en-
couraged if they stepped over to the Ma
tional this week to see how the idea
works out. a series OF dramatic
sketches, thinly co-ordinated by the
time honored use of a dream, is the
novelty much advertised for My
Ladys Dress" by Edward Knoblauch.
The element of novelty lies principal
ly in the Iact that Mary Boland and
Leon Quartermaine impersonate the
principal 1CtOrs IN the series OIL dramas,
ranging in all parts OF the globe and
among all nations.
To the lover OF the theater the play
would be d delight for the SURPRISING
diversity and variety of Miss Boiand 5
and Mr.. Quartermaine achievements.
From The sun-kisseu peasant cottage
of Italy to the quaint, hUmeIy Holland
garden; from the dank, squaid room in
" hite Chapel, London, 10 the stark,
bleak trapper sJOckade or Siberia /,
from one chine to another, from one
people to another, this narrative ran.
And upon each Of these pictures these
capable actors stamped the human hall
mark with complete sympathy and I'M
Outstanding.
And what was the relation of all this?
The author chose to preach an eco
nomic lesson from the making OF my
lady's DRESS" and to show, in tray-
elogue style, the sources of the mate
rails that go into the shimmering prod
uct for one nights life in ballroom or
banquet hall. And Knoblauch, in this
sort of economic stage lesson, Is some
times as Somber as Galsworthy, some
times as fanciful as Barrie.
Not That we are trying to set forth
My Lady's Dress" as a remarkable
dramatic achievement At first IL seem
ed as IL the theme of woman's subtle
part in mans affairs was to run
through each of the sketches. This
thread was dropped, then recovered. So
that the one fault the playlover is apt
to find with this production Is 4 lack
of unity.
My Lady's Dress is really a re-
markable series of one-act plays. an
picture of the laborers

graphic Society. il tells much more than
many travelogues. through its imper-
sonations IL gives touches of the lives

description could accomplish.

should be added the vivid impersona-
tons OF S. J. Warrington and Fuller

Rose Stahl Is at the Columbia this
week in "A Perfect Lady" by Charming
Pollock and Rennold Wolf. II that

are entirely lacking in the commercial
sense. For you sec Rose Stahl - a
perfectly safe bet, being the leading
lady for whom the phrase "a show ali

course of one theatrical season. They
can't all be good. and they are not.
But In the wee minority of perform

has for a leading lady Rose Stahl
should be included without question.
The plot can be told in a very few
words, for it is built on a human mo
tive, what comeback play of a loved

Little sister graduated, Lucille
stranded at Sycamore Kan, with her
troupe, makes up her mind that she
must have a home in which to receive
her. There isn't even an ice cream
paTlor in Sycamore. and they had
never heard of the Castles. so Lucille
gasped, shook the dust of burlesque
from her heels, and settled down in
Sycamore to reform the town with
the turkey trot, n moving picture
machine, and an ice cream parlor.
The play tells how the town and the
minister succumb and even after they
found out that Lucille Higgins was

which everything was settled. but not
until the near tragedy in the third
