AT THE THEkTERS
Orpheum Review.


One of the strongest pictures ever
shown in Topeka is THE Coward, a
Triangle drama, which was reeled off
at the Orpheum Monday and will be
repeated tonight. Frank Keenan, plays
the leading role, that of an old Con-
federate soldier
In depicting the war scenes, the
master hand of D. W. Griffith is clear
ly seen. Instead of bringing into ac-
ton half a hundred troops, The
Coward shows more than a thousand
soldiers and a birds eye view of a
battle that is realistic. Not only as a
massive production, but as an acting
piece, does THE Coward stand out.
The vaudeville is good. There are
two acts of it.
Iris Review.
"Mr Grex of Monte Carlo was pre-
sented at the Iris Monday matinee and
night and will be shown for the last
time tonight. There is something
about E. Phillips Oppenheim's writ
fngs which appeals to the popular
mind and this is the first one of his
stories to be put in moving pictures
One of the neatest introductions or
all the characters was an excellent
opening for the film. The study deals
with the intrigue of three nations.
Just prior to the present war, and
it centers around three great diplo-
mats at Monte Carlo. For action,
tinged with good comedy, Mr.. Grex

long done in the large field of our
agricultural industry: that, at the
same time that we safeguard and
conserve the natural resources of
the country we should put them
at the disposal of those who will
use them promptly and intelli-
gently. as was sought to be done
in the admirable bills submitted
to the last congress from its COM
mittees on the public lands, bills
which L earnestly recommend in
principle to your consideration;
that we should put into early
operation some provision for rural
credits which will add to the eX-
tensiVe borrowing facilities al
ready afforded the farmer by the
Reserve Bank Act adequate in
StrumentalitieS by which long
credits may be obtained on land
mortgages; and that we should
study more carefully than they
have hitherto been studied the
right adaptation of our economic
arrangements to changing condi-
tons.
Many conditions about which we
have repeatedly legiSlated are being
altered from decade to decade, it is
evident, under our very eyes, and are
likely to change even more rapidly
and more radically in the days imme-
diately ahead of us, when peace has
returned to the world and the nations

the energy of those who must beStir
themselves to build anew. Just what
these changes will be no one can GER
tainly foresee or confidently predict.
There are no caIculable, because no
stable, elements in the problem The
most we can do is to make certain
that we have the necessary instrument
talities of information constantly at
our service so that we may be sure
that we know exactly what We are
dealing with when We come to act, il
it should be necessary to act at ALL
We must first certainly know what 1t
is that we are seeking to adapt our
selves to. I may ask the privilege of
addressing you more at length on this
important matter a little later in your
session.
In the meantime may I make this
suggestion? The transportation prob
lem is an exceedingly serious and
pressing one in this country. There
has from time to time of late been rea-
son to fear that our railroads would
not much longer be able to cope with
it successfully, as at present equipped
and co-ordinated. 1 suggest that it
would be wise to provide for COM
mission of inquiry to ascertain by a
thorough canvass of the whole queS-
ton whether our laws at present
framed and administered are as ser
viceable as they might be in the solu-
ton of the problem. 1t is obviously a
problem that lies at the very founda-
ton of our efficiency as a people. Such
an inquiry ought to draw out every
circumstance and opinion worth con-
sidering and we need to know all sides
of the matter if we mean to do any
thing in the field of federal legislation.
No one. I am sure, would wish
to take any backward step. The
regulation of the railways of the
country by federal commission has
had admirable results and has
fully justified the hopes and ex-

Period Furniture is All
the Rage Today

Beautiful period furniture has
always been greatly admired,
but heretofore this class of
furniture has been considered
high-priced and beyond the
means of the average home.
It could only be furnished IL
the exclusive stores and was
prohibitively high priced. To-
day our superior buying facil-
tiles have changed all this.
Not only have we brought
this high type of period fur
niture down to a price where
practically every one can af-
ford it, but we are also max
ing the added inducement of
low credit terms for every
one.
