Political Visitors

Several gentlemen having active zeal
to serve the peepul have been visitors
to the Messenger sanctum within the
week. First, we shall mention our
friend and editorial brother. mike"
Ford, of the Montrose Record, Re-
publican, who would represent the peo-
Pile of this district in the legislature.
Then came Bert F. Crapser, Progress
i've, who has represented us and wants
to go right back and do it again, and,
lastly, appeared Norman A. Morrish, a
very affable gentleman, of Democratic
proclivities who allows that it is about
time this district gave Woodbridge N
Ferris some support in the legislative
branch of our state government. These
are good men, all, and you can take
your choice among 'em, but if we had
anything good to give out and could
shove it over to a country editor, wed
do it just to ring in change on the
general order Of things.

Interesting Road Case

VIM Willis, well known Thetford
farmer, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
E. l.. Powers, this week on complaint
of William Davidson, of Millington,
charged with violation of the motor
vehicle road law. The alleged offense
occurred on Oct 5, in the highway near
the residence of H. C. Tinker, at which
time Mr.. Willis was engaged with a
team in hauling heavy load of gravel
and Mr.. Davidson coming up behind
with an auto attempted to pass. At
this point Mr.. Willis maintains that he
was attempting to get out of the way
as rapidly as possible when Mr.. David
son ran into him with his car. The lat
ter, on his part, says that Mr.. Willis
turned partly out of the road in re-
sponse to his signals and then turned
back again rendering a collision un-
avoidable and resulting in a badly
smashed auto. Mr. Willis went to
Flint, Tuesday, for arraignment and
we understand, proposes to fight the
matter to a finish in the courts. The
case was set for trial Oct. 27.

What is human life worth? Physicians have computed the ques- ton from their standpoint and vari- ous branches of science have tried to pace a rating on human existence It al depends, of course, on circum- stances and conditions. There was a broker in New York, who, after his life had been saved, offered S100 to the surgeon for the operation. That was the value he placed, not on his life but on the mans skill. The brokers wife tore the check up and threw the bits into the husbands face Later she married the doctor, who, you see, was an old sweetheart of hers. Kay Bee tells the story in a most wonderful manner in the two reel feature at the Star today, The Worth ot a Human Life,' and in this masterpiece there appears Thomas Chatterssn, Gladys Brockwell and Arthur Jarrett On the same pro gram there is also a mighty good Princess reel, The Deadline,' as wei as a royalty good Royal comedy "Phirs Vacation" so come and see what happened to Phil and help him enjoy his outing

tioneer,' with David Warfield once more appearing in his remarkable creation of Simon Levi the lovable old Hebrew, will be seen at the Audi torium theater next Thursday night, November 3. When Mir. Warfield first appeared as Simon Levi and toon New York by storm, it was his initial appearance in the serious drama. His Hebrew specialties in vaudeville had brought him fame and popularity. but when The Auc- tioneer' opened at the Biiou theater and began its long run, he had just passed under the management of David Belasco; it was just beg inning to dawn on him what remarkable powers for the portrayal of pathos he possessed. Now, for the first time, 13 years after his initial performance of Simon Levi, the public has a chance to gauge what those brilliant years intervening have done by way of mellowing his performance in this role
 The AuctlOneer, In the form Tn which it is now being presented IS said to be a much stronger drama than before, as it has been entirely rewritten and brought down to date by MT. Belasco. None of the delight ful comedy, however, has been lost, but on tine other hand it has been added to.
 All of the living members of the original cast have been gathered to- gether by Mir. Belasco for this special production Marie Bates is still play ing Mrs Eagan, and others in the notable cast are Lola Clifton, Harry Lewellyn. Guy Miiham, Louis Hen. dricks, Eva Randolph, Frank Nelson, Harry Rogers, Esther Sacheroff. Rich ard Lembeck, Alice Avery, Leonard Doyle, Giles Low and Tony Bevan.
