In Old Kentucky

The return of one of Americas most
popular dramas ''In Old Kentucky" is
scheduled for Monday, August %, at
the Auditorium in River Falls.
No play of today retains such a
hold on the affections of the play
goer rs this stirring, wholesome story
of Kentucky life by Charles T. Darcy.
Season after season, without break,
it has toured the United States and
Canada, to say nothing of English
touring companies and Australian pre-
sensations, until the play has to it's
credit in this country alone, twenty
two full theatrical seasons. It's vogue
has been remarkable and it's success
exceptional over the world. However,
I'm Old Kentucky" is real, meritori-
Gus, interesting with features that set
it apart from the average run of sue
cessful plays-features that have add
ed to it's life and giving it vitality
beyond it's contemporaries. It is be-
yond question the one purely Ameri-
can play of our time that will endure.
1t does not depend for consideration
upon it's great pictorial scenes nor up
on it's many ingenious scenic devices.
The Incidents and strong climaxes led
up to gradually and logically, and are
a part of the story. Pure sentiment,
valorous deeds, romance, humor, and
splendid clean-cut comedy are COM
bined with keen dramatic instinct.
The characters are drawn with skill
and are types that will be recognized
everywhere. 1t is the faithful draw
ing of these characters of our own
country and of our own time, and the
faithful portrayal of a phase of
American life hitherto neglected by
the dramatists that we have made ''Tn
Old Kentucky" the greatest popular
success of this generation-an that
is unquestionably the secret of it's I'M
ending vogue.

While The North
Pays The Bills
(From James A. Frear, NJ. CD


A leading paper of the Tenth Dis
trict recently said it is gradually be-
coming understood to what extent
Southern influences control Congress
in securing appropriations for local
projects and on general legislation.
Leading daily papers of the country
are noting the same insignificant
fact. Charges of sectionalism once
glibly made aresrarely heard in view
Of overwhelming evidence that the
South gets the lions share while the
North pays the bills.
Repeated criticisms on the floor
have occurred the fact that all chair
manships of important committees are
held by Southern members with one
single exception.
Tariff, waterway, flood control and
other bills have been fashioned with
especial reference to sectional inter-
ests and the new $35,000,00O public
building proposes many questionable
items that will be added to taxpayers
burdens. However, that bill will be
pigeon-holed presumably with the
$50,OOO,OO0 so-called flood control bill
until next session, as the protest
against the $42,886,000 pork barrel
has alarmed Democratic leaders. While
clinching Southern interests, that
measure has aroused those who foot
the bills. Public building bills are OF
the same character and notwithstand-
ing a scathing report by a Congress
sional public building committee, the
1916 bill is as bad as it's predecessors.
Postmaster General Burleson, mem
Der of that commission, recommended
that no public buildings hereafter be
erected in cities under 5000 inhabl-
