ME-. MRAE REPLIES To
DAILY LIGHT EDITORIAL

To the Daily Light:
After reading your long editorial
IT, Wednesdays issue of the Light
| am convinced that the argument
between you. on behalf OF the tele-
phone companies, and myself, on be-
half of the people of Waxahachie,
has reached the stage where the
right and justice Of the proposition
are plainly apparent to all those who
have taken the trouble 10 keep up
with the controversy. When an
as ably edited paper as the Light
can find no better reason fer grant
ing public financial aid to a tele-
phone corporation and refusing ii TO
mercantile corporation than that
the former does not sell mercnan-
disc. it occurs to me that the con-
troversy has reached a point where
further discussion would not be of
value to any body. If your con-
clusion be correct, then if two ply
sicians, two garages, two blacksmith
shops, or any other two persons, or
institutions selling service instead
of goods, should combine, the public
should be called upon to pay them
f6 2-3 per cent more for the same
service after the combination than
before. or course that notion is 100
absurd to argue against.
In the paragraph of your editorial
just succeeding this remarkable con-
clusion YOU say that / seem to think
the independent company deserves
no credit for forcing a reduction in
tolls in ellis county" | don't see
why you use the word seem, be-
cause | stated without qualifica1ot,
that it did not deserve credit FOR
this reduction; that il was done for
the purpose of getting business and
was the result of competition. And
ii YOU accord this company the same
motives which actuates all other
commercial corporations in the con-
duct OF their business affairs, (and
no reason has yet been assigned
why YOU should notl, you are bonna
to concede the correctness Of the
conclusion.
But as a substitute for this COM
petition you propose 10 the city couR-
ell that it take the promise of Mr.
Earle that he viii maintain the
present rates. In the first place
these rates may be toe high, under
all the conditions, before the exit
ration of the franchise now propos-
ed; in the second place the indepen-
dent company is corporation and
may live much longer than Mr
Earle will live and be in all togeth-
er different hands and controlled by
people other than by Mr.. Earle who
may not see fit to comply with these
promises; and in the third place
such a list as | understand are be-

MOOSE MINSTREL IN
 BIG HIT AT 0RPHEUM
 WITH GREAT OFFERING
Big Audience Sees Polite Vau- deville and Minstrel. An other Large Attendance As sured for Next Show.

Real old minstrelsy, interspersed with local hits and excellent singing, particularly with reference to the chor- us work, punctuated the first part of the Moose Minstrel Jubilee last even ing. The last half-the Olio-was giv- en over to some equally high class vaudeville and the final act was the best thing, of an amateur nature, ever seen in the Warren District
 A packed house saw the minstrels. An enthusiastic audience applauded the numbers, deservingly so. The slips, usually prolific in such produc- tions, were reduced to a minimum. On the whole the Moose show was the best thing of its kind that has been offered in Bisbee in many years.
 The first part, devoted to minstrel selections, was excellent from start 70 finish. As was stated above. the chorus work of the men and boys blended wonderfully and literally filled the Orpheum with a medley of good
Bisbee daily review., 1916-02-12

music. The solos were well rendered and as well received.
 Opening the Olio. Night Time in the Dormitory" gave the young girls of the cast an opportunity to play to great advantage. This feature was followed by "It's Great to be an Actor introducing that arch comedian, George Reardon and his able assistant George Ludwig. The burlesque was a literal scream.
 In the closing number. "The Millin- cry Maids" the best of the entire show, was seen. It was new. The of ferings, both in lines and numbers were unhackneyed. The principals Miss Watson. George D. Craig and George S. Best, aided by the best choi us ever seen in the Orpheum. gave a really capable, interesting and enjoy able performance
 The Minstrel Jubilee will play again on Monday evening at the Orpheum It can be easily said that it will draw and should pack the house again. It's more than well worth while and re fleets no end of credit on the mem. bers Of the cast. the Loyal Order of Moose, the committee in charge and the director. MT. Best.

Famous Tenor Will Sing ''Sil- yer Threads Among the

Richard Jose's name recalls yiVidly to mind the song that he made world famous. "Silver Threads Among The Gold" It is but natural that Messrs. Kingsley and Roberts selected Mir Jose to enact the star role in this big photoplay production of that name, and they have selected an all star cast of players, whose names are familiar to all. The story contains scenes from country and city life, wonderfully DIG turized on the screen, that will grip your heart and hold you spellbound. Silver Threads Among The Cold will be seen for the first time here at the Orpheum Wednesday and Thurs day. MT. Jose will positively appear in person at every performance.

INFORMAL OPENING
 AT CENTRAL TONIGHT
"The Island of Regeneration will be Feature Shown at
 Lowell Playhouse.

If it were not for the supreme excel lence of the Vitagraph's mammoth six act offering, "The Island of Regen- eration," it could be said that the Gen. trals opening on Saturday night was in every sense of the word premature. But as this opening has been announce ed as informal and also that "The 1s- land of Regeneration" is one of Cyrus Townsend Brady's greatest acrieve. ments and being vitagraphed under the personal supervision of J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith, it is safe to say the public will be more than pleased with this production, in asmuch as it features Miss Edith Stor- ey and Antonio Moreno For Sunday February 18th, the Central will present Miss Lillian Lorraine in an Equitable master picture. Should a Wife For give?"
 Manager Jack Frazier states that he las made arrangements with four of the worlds greatest film manufactur- CTS for the exclusive rights of their production in the Warren District and that the public may be assured of Wit lessing the very best in motion pie lures at the Central
 The Ed Redmond Dramatic Stock Company will open at the Central a. bout the first of March for an indefi- nite run and in bringing this company 70 the Warren District Manager Fra zier is surely giving to his patrons something exceptional.
