"LETrY ARRIVES"

In explaining the title of his forth
coming production of Lefty Arrives"
L. Lawrence Weber defines the word
arrives" not as the end of a travel
but the fulfillment of the heroines
career. How Lefty has to compromise
with her high ideals and make the
best of conditions provides the humor
of this farcical romance which VIII
be revealed here for the first time
at the Orpheum Theater next Monday
evening, November 8, and for one
night only.
The author has evidently needed
the philosophy of one Euripedes. to
witt: "To be successful in the theater
one must reflect on the stage the
condition of a nation" For in his
latest opus Mr.. sydney Rosenfeld is
said to have utilized, in humorous
vein, the very serious condition in
many families arising from the parlor
Bolshevist tendencies of the younger
or older daughter. In this case Lefty
is the only daughter and with her
high ideals for mankind in general
and for the individual in particular
she drives her fond parent and friends
to extreme measures in their efforts
to save her from herself. Into this
family circle the author inSeniously
Introduces the individual who COM
plicates Letty's theories, the plot and
the romance and who eventually
manages to make her realize that,
after all she only typifies the
Eternal Feminine"
Mr.. Weber has assembled a notable
cast of metropolitan players for his
first production of the season, among
whom will be found Clara Joel. in
the title role. Ida Waterman, jose
phine Stevens, Nellie Callahan, Louis
Kimball, Robert 0beT, Albert Gran,
Albert Reed. and Frederick Beane.

BLACK MEN ARE PROSPEROUS
Negroes In Mississippi are Happy and
Contented.

and prosperity among the negroes oil
Mississippi is reported by a committee
Of Chicago white and negro men after
an investigation of conditions is that
sfate. The committee was delegated to
visit Mississippi by the Chicago 1850
citation of Commerce, the Federal Bu-
reau of Labor and by organized labor
to which had been referred ques-
ton of aiding the return of southern
born negroes to the south.
A written statement prepared by
the committee said:
"The happiness, contentment and
prosperity among the colored race In
Mississippi is much greater than the
committee expected to find. We know
no place where greater happiness and
prosperity prevail among them."
School facilities were found to be
good, churches adequate. housing con-
ditions being improved rapidly and
race relations good, according to the
report, while the industrious negro
is afforded excellent opportunities to
become a land owner. No place ops
preston, imposition or "lawlessness'
was found. Negro workers in the
sawmill districts were reported hap
by and contented,
Many of the farm laborers were
found to be working on the share
system. Negroes having no capital,
teams or implements are equipped by
the land owner, receiving, usually, a
half of the crop they produce, while
those with teams and implements are
given two-thirds. The statement con-
tinues:
I'VE found that the average work
er who cultivated what Is known as
the one mule crop was able, using
the year 1918 as a criterion, to pro-
duce a sufficient crop to net him, ov-
er and above all living expenses, from
$500 to $500 d year. We found sew
eral men who began work under the
tenant system and who now own their
own plantations and are themselves
employers of negro labor and are
worth from $4,000 to $175,00O. These
facts were secured for the negroes
themselves and we had the privilege
Of riding with them and surveying
their farms in automobiles they own"

COST OF HIGH LIVING.

"A a ?
Council Of National Z Defence Makes
Public its Finding.
After an investigation Of the high
cost of living problem the council OF
national defense finds: s..
That the nations products, have
not been fully utilized since the arm
istice. s.. - l,iEMg,-:R tSi5
That too few goods, notably the
necessities of life, have been produc-
ed, and that even, some Of these
goods have been withheld from the
market, and therefore from the peo-
pie.
That the high cost of living is due
in part to unavoidable war waste and
increase of money and credit.
That there has been and is con-
siderable profteering, intentional and
unintentional.
The council believes that the rem
edies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to
produce them in proportion to the
VI tllc pSOpic.
To stamp out profiteering and stop
unnecessary boarding.
To enforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
laws as are necessary to prevent and
punish profteerips and needless
boarding.
To bring about better. CO. operation
and method in distributing and mar
keting goods.
To keep both producer and con-
sumer fully informed as to what
goods are needed and as to what sup
plies are available, so that produc-
ton may anticipate the country's de-
mands. h,t
Better standards of living are i'm
possible without producing more
goods" said the councils. announce
ment.
"At the wars end we and our allies
had desperate need of the essentials
of life. We have had to share our
resources with them, but this drain
will gradually lessen.
"The, process of production requires
time. If production is rapidly in
creased, vastly improved conditions
will prevail in America when the re-
suits of present and future labor
begin to appear.
Team work is imperative. The
manufacturer, the farmer, the dis

VI rUOII, lOr ilc 10 pdCeI. fShaeoi
Reed picks out an open space Of about
ten feet in length and PAGES up and
down that space while he talks, and
! 1t Is claimed that he has worn path
in the green carpet of the senate near
his desk. Durable ,oratory is also one
of Senator Reeds characteristics. He
can make a little bit of oratory last
longer than any other member Of the
senate and still keep his audience.
Senator Reed Is famous criminal
lawyer when he isn't senator and he
talks as IL he were at murder trial,
for his whole manner of speaking is
similar to that employed by men who
are fighting for the life Of a client or
fighting for conviction.
Time changes good many orators.
Once upon a time Senator John Sharp
Williams was rated as one Of the ablest
orators Of the Senate. Now Senator
Williams is what the page boys call "a
record orator" That is to say that in
stead of launching into long orations
he contents himself with, having placed
in the record the orations Of others.
Senator Williams introduces more ora
tions into the Record than any other
FIVE men In the senate. When suffi-
ciently excited he reverts back to his
old time form and delivers himself Of
q stingnig oration, one that bites.
This usually occurs when some one
makes an attack upon President VIII
son, whose staunchest defender is Sem
ator Williams.
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska Is
the furniture breaking type of orator.
The sergeant at arms trembles for the
furniture when Senator Hitchcock gets
under way, because the senator from
Nebraska certainly Furnishes the desks
with his fist, and when his fist gets
lame and sore he then resorts to fling
ing large books at the desk with an
occasional shying kick at q chair. ~
Psnrose Keen AZ Repartee.
When Senator Boies Penrose cuts
loose, which he seldom does these days
it takes several minutes for him to
get started, for Senator Penrose talks
from his feet up, and when the words
finally reach his mouth he closes 1t
and lets them trickle out nasally. In,
oratory Senator Penrose isn't the best
in the senate, but in tersc and to the
point words and In repartee there. is
none better. When Jim Ham Lewis
Of Illinois was In the senate nothing
pleased the senators more than a con-
test between the fiowery verbiage Of
Jim Ham and the ponderousi but brill
liant repartee OF Senator Penrose.
Some senator's adopt the scolding
style Of oratory. Usually these are
young senators who have lately been
governors, such as Senator Edge OF
New Jersey, but Senator smoot Of Utah
has never recovered from the scold-
ing habit and occasionally Senator
John Sharp williams has to admonish
him.
When still a boy William King won
silver medal for oratory, You can learn
that in the congressional directory.
Now as senator from Utah William
King still has the boyish oratory, the
sort that makes you feel as If there
was prompter hidden behind the
scenes and that the gestures were
learned from book.
Senator Knute Nelson Of Minnesota
is the only aquatic orator in the SEN
ate. He is addicted to plug tobacco
and oratory in combination.
Oratory Il what makes the senate.
