No Chautauquas.

It strikes most people that the efforts
of the Chautauqua concerns TO override
the order of the state board of health
and hold their entertainments over
their Vermont circuit by invoking the
aid of the federal courts was in de-
cidedly poor taste.
Infantile paralysis, that dreadful
scourge, which cripples and kills chill
dren, and for which no medical treat
ment serves either as preventative or
cure, exists in this state to an extent
that makes people apprehensive lest,
during the summer and fall months yet
to come, it assume the proportions of a
statewide epidemic. After carefully
considering the question, the state board
of health, who have first of all the in
terests of the public in mind, forbade
such travelling entertainments as Chau-
tauquas to show in Vermont this year.
Instead of complying, the financial in
terests back of these enterprises--and
be assured there are such--eame. to Yer
mont to fight the order. The state courts
declining to interfere with the boards
order, an appeal was made to federal
court, the petitioner being a resident Of
another state, thus establishing the
courts Jurisdiction over what is essen
TALLY a state matter.
! A restraining order having been grant
ed by Judge Howe, the question OF its
continuance and the virtual multiplying Of
the state law, under which the board had
acted with plenty of legal authority
back of it, came up for final hearing be-
fore Judge Hough of the United States
district court at st. Johnsbury Monday,
who promptly dismissed the petition, and
the boards order stands.
The outcome leaves the Chautauqua in
rather bad repute, especially as II stresses
its mission as an exemplar of public in
terests Those who have had dealings
with these Chautsuqua concerns find
that on the commercial side they are
very human In their task of uplifting,
they never lose sight of the almighty
dollar. If occasionally they have bad
luck and stand to lose, as in this case, it |
is only such misfortune as comes to
others in business. They ought not to
welch.-Randolph Herald.

Snow White-4----M Marguerite Clark
Queen Brangoma- -rDorothy Cummings
Prince Florimond Creighton Hale
Berthold tHuntsman) IL. Braham
Witch Hex Alice Washburn
The wicked Brangomar has been
made beautiful by the Witch Hex and
part of the bargain is that on the
day of Snow Whites bethrothal
Brangomar is to give her heart to the
witch, who needs it for a hair tonic
Brangoramr Is therefore shocked
when she discovers that the little
princess whom she causes to work
in the kitchen. has won the heart of
Prince Florimond. Brangomhrs asks
will deliver human heart, that of
Snow White. But the little princess
finds safety iii the cabin of seven
dwarfs- Aided by Hex. Brangomar
succeeds in having Snow White take
bite from a poisoned apple The
princess falls unconscious, but she
does not die as Brangomar had hoped
and the wicked woman pays the pen
atty, while Snow White and Flori-
mond marry and live happily in the
/ palace.
The Famous Players have given the
Grimm fairy tale colorful and pret-
ty setting and with Marguerite Clark
in the role that proved her most
successful on the speaking stage.
The portrayal is delightful and the
public, doubtless welcoming the OPP
portunity to see her as Snow White
can only consider the outlay ant
time and entrance fee well rewarded
There is splendid supporting east
Dorothy Cumming is an excellent
I'rangomard She is an actress oil
some accomplishment and if the fates
are kind and the producers judicious
Miss Cumming may have a gratefu
1 part soon. Creighton Hale is wei
cast as Prince Florimond and Alice
Washburn is convincingly wicked as
Hex
The settings merit special mention
The throne room is a fine, deep set
and. If bit tinselly in decoration, il
is none the less colorful. In the choice
of his exterior locations Mr.. Dawle,
showed an appreciation both foi
artistic effect and propriety.

while a matinee will take place Sun

Irrigation Project
For Carson Valleu

An appropriation of 100000 for the
reclamation of lands in the Carson
Valley, which will bring between
1900 and $4,000 acres of arid lands
under cultivation, and start another
big irrigation project in Nevada, Is
carried by the civil sundries bill
which passed the senate last week
Iafter having previously been passed
by the house. This places the bill be-
fore the president for his approval,
which is said to be assured
The same bill carries a special ap-
preparation of 100000 for better
ments and drainage of the Truckee-
Carson project in Churchill county,
where important work is still to be
carried out by the government
The 100000 appropriation for the
Carson Valley project marks the first
long step toward government irriga-
tion of the richest farming sections
of Nevada is which no previous work
has been done by the reclamation de-
partment That il will be followed up
by further appropriations and more
extensive work. after being started, is
