Irving Watkins, who formerly was a
member of the Wilmington Methodist

which are most difficult, down in
Mexico"
Whatever may be our differences
politically" declared Dr. Watkins,
president Wilson is bigger than the
party which put him in the White
House, and the feelings of RESPONSE

heart Of Mckinley, are pressing down
the heart of Wilson, in his struggles
with a crude guerilla people like
those of Mexico.
"The time is coming when there
will be neither war nor rumors OF

@TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE"
In "The Trail of the Lonesome
Pine" which is adapted from the
novel Of the same name, by John
Fox, Jr., Eugene Walter Is said to
have found a most suitable character
for Isabelle Lowe, who will appear at
The Playhouse, April q, as June,
bare-footed wondering-eyed creature
of memory and dreams known and
loved by a million book-lovers, he
roine of the story and play. The part
Of the half-savage. untutored child of
the Cumberland Mountains is one
that suits Isabelle Lowe as though
made for her. In the play Mr.. Wal
ter has made primitive love the mo-
tive for a feudal war that RACES be-
tween two clashing mountain clans,
the families of the Tollivers and the
Falins. June's love for Hale, the en-
gineer, is made the cause of the kill
ing of Dave Tolliver by Buck Falin,
as we'll as the attempted murder OF
Hale by Young Dave. The play has
been given a fine scenic setting, a
vivid dramatic INSTALLATION of the
book. From beginning to end It is
a story of elemental love, a story that
: is meant to be heart-clutching in IT'S
intensity. It is the love Of a noun
tain girl, uneducated in the ways ol
society and civilization, for a man Of
the world, a love which June does
not understand love which fright
ems her a little.

time doing so. That's all | said about
the present case before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
But I may say that if the railroads
can SHOW they need more money, they
viii get it. I can speak for the Inter
state Comma,ce Commission sutfic-
iently TO say that the commission has
no desire to sacrifice the railroads.
Let the railroads once convince the
commission that their request is just,
and it will be granted, government
supervision or no government super
vision. The only point is that it will
be harder for the railroads to win

and did not say anything new.
Briefly. my position, which is abso-
lutely unofficial, is that the railroads
will always have a very difficult time
getting extra money until there is
positive assurance that the extra
money will be used rightly, and the
cnly way we can get the assurance is
through federal laws regulating rail
road securities and investments with
government supervision of both.
"'Fhis has no direct bearing on the
one immediate request of the rail
road. l was thinking particularly of
the New Haven railroads past his
tory when l mentioned government
supervision. / meant to be under

wanted some assurance that the fu-
ture policy of the New Haven would
be different from it's past, before we
granted the New Haven more money.
In our recent investigation of the New

grossly improper practices in the man

flated capitalization, money used for
improper purposes, investments made
in trolley lines, the Boston & Maine,
and elsewhere that should never have
been made. In fact, the powers that
were did everything with the New
Haven except run railroad.
Now, what I want to see is an alb
eolute guarantee that these things
won't happen again. They are called
'by-gones. What want is assurance
that they are by-gones, and won't be

to see enacted into law at the present

Colonel c. A. Howard
Gracefully Withdraw S
The Aberdeen Mans Graceful Accept
ance OF the Result of the Min
ority Nomination of Burke.

Aberdeen News, hitherto special
newspaper champion of Colonel How
ards candidacy for the United States
senate:
Colonel Chas. A. Howard and his
friends and supporters at the minor
ity proposal committee meeting at
Pierre have no reason to feel asham
ed Of the outcome Of the contest foI
the minority choice for United States
senator. No man in South Dakota
could possibly have won the nomina'
ton for senator over Representative
Charles H. Burke. The proposal com
mitteemen were so nearly unanimous
in their opinion that Representative
Burke was the most available man to
pit against the present incumbent;
that he was the one man in the state
certain, because of his past services
to the state and nation in congress,
and because of his wide acquaintance
and widespread popularity in the
state, to defeat Coe l. Crawford.
AS it was, Colonel Howard made an
excellent showing in the meeting, and
heveloped a strength that was q dis
tinct surprise to his opponents. He
was easily the second choice OF a
large majority of the proposal men,
and there is not doubt in the world
that il the insistent urging of the
proposal men that Representative
Burke enter the race had not finally
brought about his consent to do SO
Colonel Howard would have been
named as the opponent Of Senator
Crawford in the primary fight.
