SEPTEMBER MORN

The producers of September
Morn, newest, most original and frol-
icsome of musical comedies, which
comes to the Sugg, Thursday, Jan
uary 6, are extremely proud of the
fact that they have gathered for the
Gillespie-Stauffer play a remarkable
chorus and ballet; one that is said to
even surpass the memorable one
gathered by Henry w. Savage for his
Prince of Pilsen" company and
which he specially organized for tour
during the season of 1909-1910-a bou-
quet of beauty and basket of Pilsen
peaches" that literally turned the
heads of the dillettante. History
chronicles the fact that this special
chorus flock were certainly some
birds" Now comes the Martin and
Lemle bunch with an assertion from
them that their round up" is a
snowy string with plenty of pace and
lots of vim, all of which give
cachet and elegance to the three dance
finales closing each of the farago.
They have all been put through their
PAGES and perfectly trained by Virgil
Bennett. the most. accomplished
maitre d'ballet in this country.

DR., Emanuel to Bert Barefoot, "Ill be

who 1t is. I'll bet from the looks of
him he's a bootlegger and that he is
only about two jumps ahead of Sheriff
Bailey. Don't you see, his horse is
just about tuckered cut, and hos

surely a booze rig. The horse was
an old timer in the service of the
anti-prohibition party and the buggy

the same line. But the driver Of the

logger, was Bob Castleman of the |
sheriff's force.

pressed it, lei him and Oscar Dryden
to journey out of Chickasha for about
five miles in the general direction OF

And the wait OF several hours in the

desperate and hang-dog appearance,

STAR COMEDY co

Notwithstanding the inclemency
OF the weather and the bad con-
dition OF the roads, a very fair
gathering was on hand to witness
the performance OF the Star Com
edy Company who proved them
selves one OF the best attractions
ever presented in Yerington. The
feature OF their program was a
stirring drama, THE Gypsy
with Grace Barton in the title role.
Her impersonation showed re-
markable power and emotional
ability. Ermyl Barton and Leroy
Cortell as the youthful lovers
were well placed and won the
audience from the rise of curtain.
As pleasing and pretty contrast
to age and sorrow they were all
to be desired. Bertram Hill
played "Sr Aubrey" and OF him
it is needless to say he has the
power to induce laughter or tears,
and OF the latter there were not
few at the drop OF the curtain
On the whole the show was a
good one, and received warm and
hearty applause. Curtain calls
were given and the Misses Barton
presented with floral offerings
which were modestly received
We trust that the management
will be able to favor us with more
such entertainments in the future

preparedness Mrs, S. Morris
presented a paper which covered

Her long residence in Mexico and

need of preparedness in protecting
lives and property of u. S. citi-
zens in Mexico. Mrs. Grenough,
Pres. of the Mothers Club who
was guest, gave very interest

America and its reference to pre-

The dispatches indicate that the
testimony being taken by the Sen
ate subcommittee pending the
conformation of Louis ID. Bran
deis, for Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States is very
largely in favor of Mr.. Brandeis,
both as to his ability and ethit~.
The appointment to the =
preme Court of the United States
is one Of the highest honors that
can be conferred upon citizen,
1t is not considered political APP
pointment and is only regarded
in a partizan light when opposi-
ton, as in the case of Louis ID.
Brandeis, is aroused. Generally
this occurs from personal antago-
nism OF some particular person.
When Justice .Peckham's name
was presented by Cleveland the
first time the appointment was
blocked by Senator Ben Hill OF
New York, who appealed to Sena-
torial courtesy and inv a'<ed rule
then in vogue in CO. ii'lping APP
pointments. At that time it was
the practice of the Senate to re-
ject conhrmatien if SenatJr
made personal request, without
requiring him to give his reasons
Justices of the Supreme Court
are selected because of their abil-
ity as well as their character and
if Mr.. Brandeis is confirmed there
is no danger of deterioration in
the character and ability of this
most August tribunal.

When President Wilson in his
St. Louis speech declared tina,
"the American navy, ought in my
Judgment, to be incoinparably
the greatest navy in the world,
he allowed the enthusiasm of the
moment 10 carry him too far.
If he meant the statement to be
merely the theoretical expression
of a confessedly unattainable
ideal, he may have been right. Ii
he meant it to be the statement
of a practicable feasible ambition
it seems to us obvious that he wa,
wrong.
Ii we could bet Great Britain
Germany and Japan to agree will
us on common ratio OF WarShip:
to miles of seacoast, and, using
the present American navy as thu
standard, get them to make pro

val ornaments, situation idea
from our standpoint would be eco
