Glen Echo Park.

Maybe going to Glen Echo Park has
become a habit with a good big ma
tority of Washington folks. which might
account for the fact that during the
unusually cool weather Of the last few
days the attendance at the popular re-
sort has maintained mid-August pro-
portions, which translated means that
thousands nightly throng the grounds.
Last evening was no exception and from
dusk until the early arrivals had started
home every car unloaded a full quota
Of passengers at the Glen Echo entrance.
The dancing contingent that cares not
about the weather was out in force and
Charlie Mills men played to a full
house every time they swung into a
fresh number. Last evenings crowd was
looking for amusement with the result
that things were kept humming.
Out in front of the derby a line was
always waiting for turn at the thrilling
race over the eight dips and at the
coaster, midway, carrousel and other fun
providers the same condition existed.
Along the row where the "barkers"
hold forth, and "Jake's" spiel is heard
scores jostled each other and only the
confetti was lacking to make it seem q
carnival.
An unusually good free movie show
with first-time films started the fun
for the crowd last evening and all the
evening the hot dog" vender was a
live competitor for the dispenser of cool
drinks

CENSOR ACTIVE IN RUSSIA.
Forbidden to Discuss Restoration of
Monk Rasputin

Petrogred, Aug. H-Deputy Scobo-
left has caused a little ruffling of the
wings in aristocratic circles by his
declaration in the Duma that the CEN
sor has issued a circular to the papers
ordering them to refrain from making
any comments about the reinstatement
of the famous monk, Rasputin. in the
circles where he has already done so
much mischief. His influence is now
said to be stronger than ever.
The liberal deputy, Azemoff, con-
firmed NJ. Scoboleff's statement, and
added that the press had also been
prohibited from commenting on the
Duma speeches.

MoOre's Gardep-Feature Films.

With two such film stars as Charles
Chaplin and Gertrude Mccoy gracing
the screen il was no wonder that
standing room was at a premium yes
terday at Moore's Garden Theater Chap
lin has done many funny pictures dur
ing his career as camera comedian,
but in "One A. NJ" he sets himself
new record. and for fully one-half hour
he kept everyone convulsed with laugh
ter The plot of the picture concerns
the efforts of a bibulous gentleman to
reach his domicile in the wee small hours
Of the morning. He has a most hazard
GUS journey in a balky taxi and upon
reaching home he can find neither latch
key nor key-hole. He finally lands in
the living room via a friendly window
and then his real difficulties begin A
mysterious revolving table greatly con-
fuses him; has combats with numerous
stuffed animals scattered about the room
and makes several Intellectual efforts to
reach the second floor. Once there, his
troubles start all over again. He wages
a merry little war with a battling fold
ing bed which seems to be more human
than a mere piece of furniture. In de-
spair he finally renounces the bed and
seeks rest in the bathtub.
Gertrude Mccoy, the other star of
the program, was seen to advantage in
THE Gates of Divorce" a novel pho
tograph creation exploiting a new angle
to the divorce question. These pictures
will hold the screen until Wednesday

There is an organization of radical
reformers in this country with head
quarters at Washington known as the
National Voters League that stands
for all sorts of advanced. legislation.
Here is an excerpt from a recent bull
letin issued by the League:
The people now have the opportuni-
ty to choose their senators without
the intervention Of legislatures. But
recent direct elections have not i'm
proved the personnel of the senate:
On the contrary, it has deterlorated
in ability and beyond question, the
first results Of popular elections has
only contributed more to the profess
sional politics of the senate.
In this state we have candidate
for the senate who was nominated by
the popular vote, and who will be
elected by anywhere from $4,000 to
100000 plurality, who will improve the
personnel of the American house of
lords, and his name is Frank B. Kel-
logg

Government manufacture Of paper
from national forest lumber, by means
of government-owned and operated
water power, to relieve the print paper
situation is possibility at the short
session of Congress in December. This
would relieve the government from
exorbitant charges for the immense
quantities of print paper it consumes;
set a standard of cost for the produce
ton of paper which may be used as
a means of determining whether pri-
vate manufacturers are charging ex-
cessive prices, and by the sale of the
surplus product to the public at cost
would help to hold down the price
charged by private interests.

School Aids Much on County's Farms

School Aids Much on County's Farms.
Eleven boys from Mile Laos county
are among the list Of 2,154 who have
learned how to farm at the School of
Agriculture, University of Minnesota.
This is the number who have been
graduated from the school. The num-
Der who have attended for one or two
years of the three-year course is near
ly three times as large.
f. Eighty percent Of the students who
have been graduated from the School
Of Agriculture since it was established
as the first school of it's kind in the
United States in 1888 are engaged in
farming. D. D. Mayne, principal of
the school, estimates that larger
percentage of the number who attend
ed for time but were not graduated
are engaged in agricultural work. The
men trained in the state agricultural
school have done much to improve
farming conditions in this country.
The school of agriculture gives a
course of study covering three years
At the opening Of the 1916 session,
October 2, new courses will be offered
to allow students to specialize in work
which interests them. No high school
work is required for entering the
classes in the School Of Agriculture.

Governor Burnquist wisely refuses
to call an extra session Of the legisla-
ture to enact law that will enable
the guardsmen on the Mexican border
to vote at the ensuing election. No.
body wishes to deprive the boys Of the
right Of suffrage, and there ought to
be a law that would permit them to
vote when away from home on duty,
but the calling of an extra session for
that purpose is hardly practical at this
late day. Anyhow, we are Of the opin-
ion that if the boys did vote no particu-
lar candidate or party would profit
largely thereby-their votes: would be
pretty evenly divided.

INTERSTATE ROADS l AND 2.

On every hand it is conceded that
there should be a good broad highway
connecting Duluth with the Twin
Cities. 1t is unnecessary to adduce
any argument in behalf Of the PROPOSE
ton as there is no opposition to it.
At the last meeting Of the State High
way commission, shortly after the
enactment of the federal road law, it
was agreed that the Duluth-Twin
Cities road should be known and desig-
mated as 1ntrastate Road No. l, and
that the Commission would recommend
Federal aid for such road to the extent
that the counties through which it
passes were prepared to meet.
The counties must meet the Federal
aid dollar for dollar. Unless some of
the counties receive assistance in the
shape Of large allotments from the
State road and bridge fund and private
contributions, a bond issue on their
part would be necessary to meet the
Federal aid. DOUBTLESS the necessary
l
financial arrangements win: be com
pleted and their will be a. serviceable
hard-surfaced road, passable at all
seasons of the year save when the
snow is too deep, between the Twin
Cities and Duluth. before the closing
days Of 1917. x :
At the meeting Of the State High
way Commission referred to it was al
so determined to recommend the ex-
tension Of substantial Federal aid to
Intrastate Road No. 2, through Sher-
burne, Mile Laos and Crow Wing
counties. This road commences in the
Twin Cities, passes north through
Hennepin county, crosses the Missis-
sippi at Anoka, thence on the east side
of the river through Anoka and Sher,
burne counties to Elk River, thence
north to Princeton and Milaca, to the
queen of Minnesota lakes, around the
|. southern and western shore Of that
beautiful lake, thence west to Brainerl

service in England and Scotland and
