Des Moines, March 23.-There will be
| big. doings at the meetings OF the Mis-
sissippi Valley suffrage conference in
Des Moines next week. There will be
many prominent speakers representing
different states. Many of the most &C
tive workers will be on hand. 1t will
be a meeting to arouse interest in the
cause of women voting In all the states
of the territory. Through this organi-
cation more than any other the cause
of thS women has been making gains
lin this part Of the world.
In addition to having long program,
filled with reports and interesting adj
dresses. it has been arranged that the
pulpts of Des Moines churches are to
be occupied to large extent by promi-
nent visitors on the Sunday preceding
the meeting, which is next Sunday.

evangelists, social workers, organizers,
teachers. There is hardly anything in wei
fare work, recreational and agricultural ac-
tivity, and Bible study that they don't do.
And always they organize conference club,
so that the next year they can return with
even larger delegation than before.
THIS conference idea had a very small be-
ginning in 1908; but when Van Dis arrived
on the scene after several years training
with boys. school he developed it into a
mighty Statewide force, with delegates from
500 bows organizations in $50 different COM
munities
And that is how Van Dis is giving his
slogan practical application. He is saving
the boys by teaching them to save them
selves The outstanding fact in their lives
is service, the kind of service that is available
every day in the week and every hour of the
day. Van Dis is doing a piece of construc-
tive craftsmanship that is significant and
far reaching in its results. He and his boys
are doing more than any other one agency
to regenerate and spiritualize the boy life
of the State This does not mean that
Michigan is going to develop new type of
manhood; but it does mean that it is going
to have better citizenry, more unselfsh
and self-sacrifcing body of young men; it
means that in the future men of the State
there will be fresh, new ideals of service,
greater fondness for the better things of life,
and deeper appreciation of the part that re-
Egion plays in the daily lives of men and
women.

THE HIGH COST OF ACTING

OUR imaginations are so nimble in this
~ world of dollars that we have already
ceased to notice the bagatelle of vaude-
vile salary of $1,000 a week, such as some
of our actresses are said to have received.
We are already calculating on the salary of
the future. The salary of the past was not
so ambitious. 1t was thing to worry over,
not to speculate upon.
In the decade Immediately preceding the
Civil War Mrs. Drew and her mother re-
ceived SIG a week for the two. Mr.. and
At this time the custom was to give two
plays night, with singing and dancing be-
tween. The regular actors also did these
specialties. They supplied their own ward
robes as well, and as the theater-going public
was smaller there was necessarily constant
change of bill. The SIG was undoubtedly
well earned.
The first person to receive a salary of
three figures was Rose Eytinge, the most
popular emotional actress of her time. Her
first salary as leading woman had been $25,
and at the time she considered it a great
sum; for she had started on the stage at
81 week. She has been dead less than
three years, and is almost forgotten; yet
two of her famous contemporaries are still
1iving,-Clara Morris and Kate Claxton, the
latter a much younger woman, who was the
ingenue of the Union Square Stock Company
when Rose Eytinge was its leading woman.
Hamlet called the players 4the abstract
and brief chronicles of the time, and indeed
in no other business today do we find SO
clearly the characteristics of our age. No
other profession is more overcrowded, or
more of gamble; yet those members of it
who succeed in finding engagements should
have little complaint to make against the
high cost of living, with such changes in
their remuneration within our memory.

is our crop of boys, fully
25O,OOO of them between
the ages of twelve and
twenty. Who is going to
harvest that crop, Good

Van Dis isn't worried
about the answer if he can
only keep that conference

1000 to l 500 boys attend
ing and catching the vision
of self-sacrifice and service
that is part of the psychol-
ogy of the affair. The
things these boys find to
do after a three-day ses-
sion once a year are likely
to inspire one with new
faith in the promise of
youth. Far from merely
going back home to think
about the effect of the con-

THREE YEARS
TOO LATE SAYS
JUDGE STILES

"About three years late," is
the off-hand idea of Judge stiles
as to the report of City Engineer
Raleigh on the deal of the Pierce
county commissioners with King
county on the diversion of White
river.
.'If 1t had come before the leg
islature had passed an act spe-
officially authorizing the counties
to make the deal and then the
counties made the deal, 1t might
have had some force" said the
city attorney.
Everybody apparently is of the
opinion that Pierce county was
given the worst of it when King
county built their dam across
White river. The general opin-
ion has always been that the old
county commissioners should
have gone over and blown 1t up
with dynamite and then enjoined
the rebuilding.
But County Engineer Thomp-
son says II is no use to kick for
II the present agreement between
the counties is broken King coun-
ty will simply pull out, leaving
the waters pouring down upon US
with no relief in sight at all.
Chairman Reed of the county
commissioners refuses to com.
ment on the case at all.
