EMILY STEVENS IN A

M l. hO Al COItSGOW
 Several months ago. Bessie Barris- cale was seen in Juneau in play called The Last Act" In this play she took the part of a woman. jeal- ous of her husband, who was a doctor. The plot was good in spots but the theme was the exponent of the fool ish traits of q very silly woman
 Last night at the Coliseum Emily Stevens appeared in "The Wheel of the Law" taking the part of the wife of an attorney. prosecuting attorney who must always try to convict, for that is what he is paid for. Miss Stevens plays the part splendidly but she is foolish-that is she goes to the extremes in thwartng the work of her husband She knew very we'll that her husband was prosecutor before she married him, but she tries her darncdest to get him in bad and any man whose wife makes such a scene as she does and duplicates him, as she does. would slap her little face and perhaps send her about her busi ness-a wiser woman. There are many fine points to this production and it is staged well and played exceptional- ly But the general theme Is not true to life, yet every attorney and every woman should see it. This play will be on again tonight and tomor- row.

With the major league base oall campaigns approaching the halfway mark it is becoming daily more apparent that Christy Mathewson and Fred Mitchell, managers of the Gin cinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs, respectively, have proven their ability to lead National League clubs. Neither has had a galaxy of stars like McGraw and other managers who have had unlim- ited financial resources on which to draw, but they have moro than made good with teams that were failures under other men.

Lacrosse will never come back. according to Joe Lally of Cornwall. Ont, former president of the N. l.. U. and one of the best known au- thorities in the Dominion. In . statement made at Ottawa Lally says he is so sure that the game is dead that he will sell 7400O worth of sticks which he has on hand for $500. and he is doubtful if he could get a buyer for them even at that price.
 The ex-N. l.. U. proxy says that one reason, and the main one. that will keep the game from coming hack Is because the kids are not playing it. He says that the boys of today are too lazy to play hard game like lacrosse.

A SLEEPING GIANT AwAKEs

The way Russia has come to life
on the eastern front should bring
hope to the Allies and to all who
hope for a speedy termination Of the
war with victory for the opposers
of German Kultur. Under the lead
ership of Kerensky, war minister.
the Teutonic forces have been fore
ed back at every point. Things,
however, are somewhat quiet on the
western front because of the allied
forces are receiving Company
Uncle Sam and his boys.
If the mortality list of the Allies
are to be taken as any sort of crit
erion-and undoubtedly they may
be-Germany must be woefully short
of men. When the Allied forces
come to life again on the western
front, the concerted action of all
forces will put Germany in the posi-
ton of wolf at bay with no corner
to back into. Some Allied dog will
grab leg and turn this snarling ma
ton over on her back and the end
will come.
Let's hope that dog will be Russia
and that she is now making her ini-
tial plunges.

JUST A LITTLE UNFAIR

Patriotism is the greatest thing in
the world at this stage of our
country's history but isn't there
such a thing as taking it too far?
Isn't there such thing as burying
our sense of tolerance in too much
patriotism? We refer to the term
Stacker.
Today when a man makes any
sort of expression which appears in
the least bit unfavorable to the adj
ministration, he is termed a Stacker.
And yet criticism-fair and just
criticisms one of the greatest fac
tors tending toward efficiency. If
men are allowed to go ahead with
their plans without being criticised
in any way, they are apt to grow mar
row and thus let their plans and
work be the same way.
| Criticism is all right even though
it is unfavorable. Let us see what
the motive is before we apply that
hated term, Stacker, to a critic of
the administration. The critics may
have message.

LONGING


Sometimes / wish that l could go
Along the paths l used to know
Could go back there and find some
kid
And go along the roads / did
When had not single care,
And all life's skies were bright and
and fair,
And birds sung in the wayside tree
And all the world seemed made fo1
me.
That's what l think I'd like to dol
Go find little tad l knew
Away back there and we would go
Where water lilies used to grow
And bend pin and fix line,
Me and this old chum of mine,
And sit until the light grew dim
Where little fishes used to swim.
Those were the days when bullheads
bit,
And sunfish-W Why life seemed to fiji
Us like garments, and we slid,
Myself and that remembered kid,
From one joy to another, SO
Sometimes ! wish that I might go
And look about and find that tad
And be with him once more, and
glad.

MAKING THE WEST

Americas entry into the war
whether just runjust, is doing one
thing that the people of the west
must not fail to notice-it is making
a new country. The high price of
farm products together with thesagi-
tation for an increased production
has brought about new awakening
among US. Thousands of acres OF
land are being broken up and what
was once the short dull green and
ofttimes brown buffalo grass will
hereafter be changed to the deep
green of wheat fields.
More sod is being broken up in
western Kansas counties this year
than has been broken up before in
any one year. Some have gone SO
far as to say five. Every man who
takes a drive north or west Of here
reports the same. Acre on acre is
changing color; is being turned into
the long black strips where our
bread is to grow.
It's an. ill wind that blows nobody
good, still seems to hold good so far
as we westerners are concerned.

The Democrat is little shy on ad-

fault however. After getting out a
paper last week as large as two or
binary issues the force felt tired out,
so we made no effort to run in any
great amount of advertising. There
is just as much reading matter as
usual, and we imagine that our read
ers will pardon the lack of advertis-
ing. With little let-up we should
be able to get out hum-dinger next
week.
