Evening Opinion of Critics
LOCAL TALENT DEVELOPS VERY
STRONG CAST
Mrs. Wilfred Mckay Olson and Charles
Hutto In Star Parts Prove Versatile
Entertainers.

The home talent production of Polly
OF the Circus, given at the Lavering
theatre Wednesday evening, drew forth
q full house and heartiest praise from
the audience. The play showing the
stay of an injured circus rider at the
home of a young minister and the at
tendant Falling in love of the two,
make up a plot that is full of action
and also full of gripping pathos. POL
ly of the Circus is play that tests
Professional talent, but the Twin Falls
people in the play headed by Mrs. Will
fred Mckay Olson, as Polly, and Ralph
Torse, as the minister, was of profess
Nonal quality. Every member Of the
cant was OF star quality and the whole
production a credit to the Twin Falls
Dramatic club which staged it. The
putting on of full ringed circus un-
der the circus canvass with Polly as
tr1de of a real circus horse was stunt
which was appreciated by the audience
as well as the appearance Of life-siZe
automobile in the course of the pro-
duction. The following is the, cast
OF the performance which proved to
be the strongest home talent play ever
given in this city:

HARD RAP AT LIQUOR TRADE

Charles Fl. Randall, prohibition
party Congressman elect from Cali
fornia, in an address to Prohibition
lists at Baltimore, Nd, announced
that it is to be proposed in the next
Congress that the Federal Govern
ment shall withdraw from the liquor
business all the facilities which are
under the Governments control or
ownership.
"a series of four proposed laws
are being prepared" he said, which
he briefly described as follows:
1. Federal license receipts here
after to be issued only to holders
of valid licenses already granted by
local authorities in the States
2. The United States mails to be
closed to use by the liquor interests
for any purpose whatever, thus
preventing the vicious and fraudu-
lent advertising published in many
newspaper and sent through the
mails.
3. The United States to prohibit
the use of interstate commerce fer
liquor shipments or for any pur-
pose, and to stop importations from
foreign countries, thus erecting a
stone wall at every State line.
4. A Federal embargo to be plac-
ed against the waste of products by
prohibiting the transformation of
grain, fruits or any product val
liable for food into Intoxicating or
alcoholic liquors"

BOOM FOR GOOD ROADS

If Kentucky spends $1,700,00O
this year for road Improvement, as
is forecast by the various applica-
tons for State aid, we may congrat-
ulate ourselves that the Common
wealth has made a real beginning
of the important work Of road build
ing. Once begun it will not be so
difficult to arouse other counties
and other localities to the necessity
for highway betterment. If Ken
lucky is to make proper progress
she will have to get out Of the mud.
She can not increase her population
and wealth very materially unless
she reduces the mileage Of dirt
roads, thus enabling the farmers to
get their produce to market prompt
ly and safely.

BIG AND LITTLE FARMS

An expert orchardist down in Nc
Cracker county says "the large or
chards Of the country are not pay
ing in proportion to the small ones"
And he might have added that many
Of the large have added that many
of the large farms Of the country
are not paying in proportion to the
small ones. "The little farm well
titled" beats the big one that is not
properly cultivated. In growing ap-
Piles, and other products Of the soil
as well, the best plan is to restrict
ones activities to an output that
can be handled adequately. 1t does
not pay to try to spread out over
too much ground.

TIE SILVER LINING

The failure record of 1914 was
large, but Bradstreets, in reviewing
the situation, finds some features
that are distinctly encouraging. For
instance, modern methods of dealing
with crises obviated some Of the
worst effects Of the years troubles;
enlightened handling Of some of the
largest embarrassments has made
their rehabilitation possible; there
has been much useless slaughter of
good assets avoided; and while the
large additions to the numbers of
the business community of late
years has no doubt included many
inadequately provided enterprises,
the commercial death rate was only
q shade higher than in the worst
years since 1908, and considerably
below the rate ruling in older years.
Even when clouds are darkest it
usually is possible to find the silver
lining. From a financial standpoint
the year 1914 was not ideal, but it
has gone by and now, in the begin
ming Of another year, there is no
lack of hope for, and confidence in,
the future. LEAFS all try to make
1915 the best ever from a business
standpoint. 1t can be done if every
body will pull for more business
and better business.

SHOULD BE CAREFUL

President Wilson refers to the
sinking Of an American steamed by
a German mine as "tragic acct
dent. He also intir,ates that it was
due to lack Of proper precaution on
the part of the Evelyn's captain.
This is probably true. Certainly
American vessels should strive to
keep out Of the danger zone at>least,
if they enter it, should move with
exceeding great caution and should
seek the benefit Of expert advice
from naval authorities as to the
course to be pursued. Commanders
of both the Evelyn and the Carib, it
is said ignored the German marine
instructions. What else could they
have expectedf

TOBACCO GROWERS OFFER
PRESIDENCY TO CAMDEN

On behalf of $4,000 tobacco
growers of Kentucky Lucien Beck
ner, Of Winchester, and Bradley
Wilson, of Greensboro, offered Sen
ator Camden the presidency of the
amalgamated organization now be-
ing formed. Senator Camden said
that on account Of other business
affairs it would be impossible to give
the necessary time. He declared,
however, that he would be glad to
cooperate with the tobacco grow
ers in every way possible. Mr..
Beckner and Mr.. Wilson also had a
long conference with Congressman
A. o. Stanley regarding the provis-
ions Of the Federal antitrust law
as applicable to their organization
and as the result of the advice and
information given by Mr.. Stanley
they feel they will be able to per-
feet the organization without any
trouble.

her husband had committed suicide

Finest Stock.

The mountaineers Of the Appa-
lachian district are as fine stock as
any in the land, the President de-
clared, and are, for the country, old
and undeveloped capital, which until
this time, has been lying idle. The
President said bluntly that he would
consider it an impertinence to
"patronize" the cause of Berea
College, and that the cause of Be-
rea College, and that he consented
to talk only because Of his deep
and abiding interest in the project.
"Berea College," the President
continued, "is filed with people
hungry to learn. In his career
as a teacher" the President said,
he had never had the novel exper-
fence Of attempting to teach such
an aggregation, much to his regret.
The only thing worth while in life,
the President told his audience, is
to awake someone up" provided
there is something worth while to
show them when they are awakened.
For this reason, President Wilson
said, he sincerely enyied DIR. William
Goodell Frost, president of Berea,
who was going straight to the heart
of one of the most interesting sub
jects in the world.
In the course of his address the
President characterized what he
called "high society" as almost ut
terly useless to the nation. 1t is
from the people such as those for
whom Berea College was founded,
he said, that the nation is fed and
not from the society" class.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-03-03

Having laid aside the Ship Pur-
chase Bill, Congress settled down
to hurry through the measures
which will supply a billion dollars
necessary to run the Government
the next fiscal year. The House
passed the Pension Bill carrying
$164,000,000. An amendment ap-
propriating 100000 to be used by
the President in connection with
the opening of the Panama Canal
was agreed upon.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-03-03

81 don't know how anyone can
think Of Berea College and the work
it is doing without catching fire with
enthusiasm"
This was President Wilson's at
titude in the address he delivered
before huge gathering in Cont
mental Memorial Hall, to awake in
terest in and further the interest Of
Berea College.
The President told his hearers
that he spoke from an intimate and
personal knowledge of the mountain
people in the interests of whom the
institution was organized and its
working. The object of Berea Col
lege, the President said, is the same
as that for which America has been
striving from the first, and in which
it has succeeded. Equal opportun-
ity for everyone, with total disre-
gard for the "class" into which any
one is born the President said, in
effect, is the foundation upon which
the United States was built and up
on which Berea College is now ex-
banding.
