AT Pogranishnaya we are visited
by custom house officers. They
search every nook and corner of
our compartment, and finally di-
scover sleeping bunk crammed
with opium. The owner Of this
contraband is not to be found.
All the passengers crowd around
the officers and ask to see the
opium. The conductor cries out
indignantly:
'Robbing the. customs-cheat-
ing the nation. The coniscation
of the stuff is not enought; the
guilty parties ought to be hang

KlNKEAD TALKS
ABOUT NEW PLAY
Author Of Common Clay
Tells How and Why He Wrote
"Mood of the Moon

The announcement that the Messrs.
Shubert would present a new drama
OF American life, "The Mood Of the
Moon" which will be seen at the
Shubert-Garrick Theater next week,
byhCleyes Kinkead. recalls that play
wrights other work, Common Clay.
1t Is more than four years since
Common Clay" with John Mason as
Judge Filson and Jane Cowl as
Ellen Neal, opened on Broadway for
a.year's run.
The author OF the play temporarily
dropped out OF the Broadway reckon
ing and 1t was only last June that
Kinkead turned up again on the Ri
alto with another Manuscript under his
arm. He had been in the army as an
infantry officer during the war, which
was the explanation of the lack of an
other play from his, pen. The play
which he had started as far back
as 1915 was left uncompleted until
after the war and the author took
up the thread of his story where he
had left on and completed 'rhe Mood
OF the Moon" This done Kinkead
canne up TO New York from his home
ins Kentucky and telephoned to
Lee Shubert. a meeting was arranged,
the script read and a contract entered
into for its production.
When a newspaper man asked Kin
kead II the new drama had been sug-
gested to him by his experiences in
tho army the playwright smiled an
amused denial.

he, Il was ready to forget the war

pie soon weary OF that. l beat IL
straight home to Louisville. took cff
the uniform, folded IL neatly away in
my trunk where the camphor balls
were thickest and then pulled out of
the trunk something that the sight of
made me jump for joy-my old black
derby, emblem OF civilian status. The
next morning / hastened down to my
law office in Louisville, opened my
desk and there found the old half fr-
fshed manuscript which / had lefI
with such a tug at the heart two
years before. 1t told of something
which happened long before / ever
dreamed that an American army
would ever cross the sea-
The scene of the play Is laid in
An American town. State capital
and the time is about ten years back.
I got the suggestion OF part of the
theme from the fact that at one time
I had been elected to the legislature
and served a term there before the
passage of the Constitutional amend
ment providing that United States
Senator's should be elected by popular
vote-in other words when the State
Legislatures chose the Senators to
represent their State in Washington.
Those elections were often intensely
dramatic with a narrow margin Of
majority, and I sat through a dead
locked session in which we balIoted
daily for two months. and finally
elected by one single vote a former
governor as United States Senator
This election was perhaps the most
dramatic event that / was ever per-
sonally connected with.

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1919-07-31

We were privileged this week to
attend for two s1aysf the land auction
sale of the famous Peter Robidoux
ranch at Wallace, Kansas, and incl
dentaIly to see and come to know Pete
at his old stand Like many of the
pioneers who came to Kansas and
STUCK nature and western Kansas
worked together to produce him, and
there are no ether Peter Robidoux's in
the wide world. Robidoux is real in
dividuaI. He became accustomed to
the road expanses of the west, fell in
to the habit of counting cattle by
thousands insteads of by unies and
tens; of holding lands by townships
instead of by quarters and halves. In
his line he did the big things. During
the seventies and the eighties when
Wallace was railroad division, a
United States Fort, and the county
seat of the county Peter conducted
large general store carrying stock
of perhaps twenty thousand dollars
of merchandise. This mercantile bus
mess he conducted in addition to
large ranch. Then came the evil hour.
The railroad division was taken to
Cheyenne Wells, the fort removed and
the county seat lost. Patrons of the
large store couldn't pay their bills,
proceed like the ordinary-not like any
other individual in the world would
have done. He locker the big store
saying he would never reopen it. He
went off to his ranch duties and to all
intents and purposes forgot the
| twenty thousand dollar stock, the big
building, and the book accounts He
proceeded to clean up in cattle. This
last winter with it's weeks and weeks
of snow caused the old ranchman
losses amounting to more than one
hundred thousand dollars. The dread
| ed ss7u" caught him in it's grasp al
most to the extent of death, and to-
day he is selling large portions of his
| fifty sections ranch to clean up indeb-
tedness- The land is selling at good
figures and the same Western Kansas
| that took away his herds during the
| winter will doub1y replace their value
to him in increased value to his land.
| We brought with US a few articles
| from the store that Pete locked up
| thirty years ago. These we took as
mememtos of the man who dared and
did-E1lis County News.

IT'S SOMEWHAT UNFAIR

The Farmers Cooperative Eleva-
tor Company had three cars of coal on
the track at the same time. Owing to
the harvest being on and the men re-
fusing to work at $1,000 a day it has
been some job to get them ulnoadcd.
The result is the demurage charges
are piling up Mr.. Reed, the manager
of the elevator, is doing his best to
get them un1oaded leaving his other
work to accomplish this. On the other
hand this same firm had car of oats
which was badly needed by our farm
ers for this harvest, shipped from
Atchison, Kansas, July End, arrive
here Saturday, July 18th, a delay of
seven eight days, meaning a loss
to the firm and also to the farmers.
The company, however, pays nothing
for the loss or the delay. This is enc
sample of tibet rule that 'sdoes no
work both ways" 1t is certainly un-
fail and unjust.-Gove County Advo-
cate.

afternoon. The incidents by the way
were not numerous but we noticed
that there was considerable business

the state. 1t sure looked like it.
Everybody was busy In covering the

the grain was cut and that the feed
