White Way Whispers

Now that the cold weather is set ting in and many shows are being recalled to New York-the actor and actress is more than anxious to con- meet with some film company that they may spend the winter or most of it, at any rate, in the big city.
 Trained picture actors and actresses are plentiful in New York. One can get trained people for a song and the song of the press agent still con- tinues to emanatc from his typewriter about the fabulous sums paid varf- ous actors and actresses.
 Arguments get one nowhere. This was proven the other day when we were about to sign with a certain company for the production of four pictures. The man who owns the com pany claims picture can be made in eight days and that expense of mak- ing the play would be less than a thousand dollars and the scenario was a five reeler. Arter arguing the man told us he had srecently com pIeted a feature that ocost him only twelve hundred dollars and was com pleted in seven days. Then we viewed the picture and it sure did look it.
 Yet the shoemaker gets into the movie game from the exhibiting end and the producing end and the people who pay their good money to see the plays wonder what the trouble is.
 Managers should be prohibited from charging enormous admission fees to witness a picture that costs about fifty dollars to seventy five dollars for two days run. When will the public wake up and realize they are the goats?

IuNkINe STREET, CAR LINES

Fer: Dodge street cars may cease &C
operate according TO announcement
made by the receiver for the company.
1t is stated by the receiver that the
company is insolvent and losing money
daily and he threatens to sell the rails
for junk and quit business. The line
is said TO be in bad repair and the ser
vice an eyesore to the city. 1t runs
between the gypsum mills and town
and is much used by working men en-
ployed at the plaster plant.
The company is asking for a new
franchise. This fact lends natural sus-
picion that the threat to discontinue is
intended to have effect upon the fran
chise proposition. But it is neverthe-
less true that street car companies are
going broke and that a very large
number Of them are in the hands of re-
ceivers.
The automobile has broken the back
OF the street car. II hurts 1t severely
in the small or large cities. Hundreds
who once used the cars now drive their
own autos. Not only that but driving
down they pick up acquaintance and
friends all of which drives a nail in
the street car coffin.
Loss of street Car service Is q dis
aster TO workers and those who do not
own and operate their own convey
ances. The interests of the workers
and that Of the street car are very
closely allied. The men want to ride
10 their work and the company desires
their money. Beyond that, however, is
the opportunity cheap transportation
gives TO own home and live in il at
more than walking distance.
Whether or not the threat to junk
the Fort Dodge car lines is intended to
influence the franchise the fact stands
tina. street cars and working men have
mutual interests. Perhaps the Fort
Dodge franchise might be better in the
hands Of a new and solvent company
if such could be found to take 1t over
but the interests Of growing towns
and especially Of Industrial towns de-
maud good street car service.

Cyrus Curtis, one Of the greatest

to own and manage a magazine.

Mrs. Curtis managed. Then he bought
what was considered a worthless
magazine, the Ladies' Home Journal
which was all Of 25 cents a year al
that time. He was about 80 years old

contrary Notwithstanding, 1t appears
at this distance that In the .organiza-
ton of the Senate Senator Kenyon has
been fortunate in his committee as
sisnments. He il member of the
committees on appropriations and ag-
riculture, which committees are count
ed among the ten leading and dominat-
ing committees of the Senate, and he
Is chairman OF the committee on edu-
cation and labor. which committee
ranks very highly in what may be re-
garded as the secondary list OF COM
mittees. He also has the usual num-
Der Of other assignments. which, now
ever, need not be taken particularly
into consideration for the present pur-
pose.
Any suggestion that the junior Iowa
senator has not Jared so well as ne
might have Jared. pertains only to the
fact that he is not on the committee
Of foreign relations.
Furthermore, the work OF the COM
mittee on education and labor repre-
sents a subject in which Senator Ken

.ly interested. The rule OF adaptaoil-
ity, already referred TO and applicabie

In other words. the Republican sep

the situation suggests that the test OF
