best photoplay that Dustin Farnum
has made and the work of the boy
actor, Gordon Griffith, is simply won
derful. In the early parts of the pic

carries the hearts Of his audience by
storm Winifred Kingston and Her
bert Standing are both most capable
in their parts and the beautiful coun-
try and city scenes are rarely sur
passed in motion picture photography.
The story of ben Blair" is well
known to many The boy, left an
orphan in the burnt ruins of an old
shack on the prairie, is raised to man
hood by a kind-hearted ranchman.
The girl of his heart is lured east by
the gaieties there How Ben goes
after her and finally brings her back
with him makes up an ideal photo
play-complete in comedy. pathos and
intensely interesting drama.
The best of all pictures done by
Marguerite Clark is to have return
showing at the Grand tomorrow and
Wednesday, "The Goose Girl" More
compliments for the dainty and
charming Marguerite were received
by the Grand management on THE
Goose Girl" than on any Of her
other pictures. In response to several
requests and because many persons
did not get to see the picture on ac-
count of very bad weather conditions.
"The Goose Girl" will be shown

LANSING, PRESIDENT FOR JUST ONE DAY

The next president of the United States Will be
Robert Lansing of New York, the present secretary
of state
Mr.. Lansing's term of office does not depend
upon the action of any political convention; II
is likewise irrespective Of any primary or direct
election. In point of fact 1t dates back to January
TO- 1886, when congress passed an act providing
that In the event of the death, removal, resigna-
ton or inability of both the president and the vice
president of the United States. the secretary OF
state shall act president. =,
March f. 1917, will fall upon Sunday, and II Is
contrary to all precedent-although not IN OPPOSE
ton to any law-to hold an Inauguration on Sun
day. Therefore the incoming chief executive VIII
take the oath of Office and commence his term
shortly after noon on March 5. President Wilson's
term commenced at on March 4. 1913; there
fore, according to the Constitution, which defines
the term of president -four years" his tenure
of office will be over at noon on March 4, and, even
II he Is elected to succeed himself he cannot take
the oath of office until noon on the following day.
Vice President Marshall Of course, is under the
same disability the president Therefore the
secretary of state Mr.. Lansing. will be president
of the United States for the "a hours and some
minutes elapsing between noon on Sunday, March
4, and the time that the new president takes the
oath Of office on the following day.
This brief term OF office Is not a mere formality.
1t Ia an actual occupation of the power Of presi-
dent. with all his authorities and prerogatves Mr.
Lansing-"President Lansing" for the day-will
be empowered to occupy the White House, to Is
sue pardons to attend to all the other business Of
which the chief executive has control, and to ride
to the capitol, should he DESIRE as the outgoing
president on Inauguration day.
Moreover. this Is the first time In the history Of
the nation that a secretary Of state has had this
honor bestowed upon him and only the second
time In the 40 years Of the existence of the United
States that the Office has been held by anyone
other than the president and vice president.

ASK GAS SITUATION SURVEY
Conference at Topeka Believes Re-
ownership Of Kansas Natural
Should Be Ended Immediately.

Make survey of the entire gas
situation. Get the gas case out OF
the Montgomery county district court
just as soon as possible.
These were the conclusions reached
at conference in the governors Of
flee at Topeka, participated in by
Judge A. F. Evans and ]. A. Harzfeld,
representing Kansas City, Mo-; Fred
S. Jackson and H. o. Caster, attor-
neys for the Kansas utilities commits
sion, and Governor Capper.
The governor said the Kansas util-
tiles commission will cooperate heart
lily with the Missouri public service
commission in making the survey ac-
cording to the Kansas City plan. The
commissions will likely begin next
week.
The hearings will be held at. Kansas
City, Mo.
The attorney general is expected to
file a motion soon to dismiss the re-
ownership case in the Montgomery
district court. If the motion is grant
ed the litigation then all goes back
to the federal court and the receivers
of that court will be in charge. 1t is
the opinion of the state officials that
the federal court will then order the
property sold and that the stockhold-
ers or the Dougherty interests will
buy it in and rehabilitate it.
The application of Rosedale and
Kansas City, Kan, to have survey
of the gas situation made. has been
filed with the utilities commission.
Announcement was made through
the Topeka Industrial Council that a
meeting will be held on the state CAPT
| toll grounds to form a Citizens Pro-
tective League for the purpose of OPP
posing any raise in the gas rates. Per
sons joining the, league, it is proposed,
shall enter an agreement not to pay
more than % cents per 1000 feet, for
gas. This is the. rate which the Kan
sas public utilities commission fixed.
