WHAT PRESS AGENTS SAY


One of the most realistic scenic effects
that the theater has had in many seasons is
the rain and hundred storm in David
Belasco's sensational melodramatic success,
"Tiger Rose which plays the Grand opera
house for three performances startins
Tuesday night, Feb. "a, with a matinee
Wednesday. So realistic is this stage rain
storm that persons in the theater are sur
prised as they leave after the performance
that it is not raining outside. a feeling
of positive dampness spreads over the audi
torium when Mr.. Belasco turns loose his
forces of nature, back stage.

politics and the law.
Dope among the Democrat leaders
is to the effect that Robertson will be
nominated if he will consent TO make
the race. Should he decline, the
nomination will doubtless go to Guy
T. delivering, of Salina, former Fifth
district congressman, who recently re-
moved from Marysville to Salina to
engage in the banking business. Rob-
ertson and Helvering are seemingly
the only men seriously considered for
the nomination.
Persons who have been in close
touch with Robertson do not feel he
will make the fight for the nomination
and election. His intimate friends
know he is anxious to give his entire
| time to his law practice. He does not
believe he can successfully mix his law
| business with the quantity of politics
which would be required of a guber-
material aspirant.
Has Considered Resigning.
On several occasions during the last
couple of years, Robertson is known
to have considered resigning. He de-
| sired, tho, to remain in the govern
ment service during the war period
Signing of the armistice, however. did
not bring relief in the district attOr-
ney's office. The work of the office
continued to grow and for several
years Robertson has been one of the
|
gressive work as district attorney has
attracted much attention and has
| brought much favorable comment
from other states.
| During the period of Robertson's
service. the work of the district attor-
lneys office has been multiplied. Nu-
merous cases of nationwide impor-
lance have fallen to the Kansas fed
leraI prosecutor. His term of office
does not expire until August, 1921.
Robertson was appointed United
States district attorney by President
Wilson in 1913. He was named to sue
coed the late Harry J. Bone. Republic
can. At the time of his appointment
Robertson was little known outside of
northwestern Kansas and among men
in intimate touch with state politics.
| During the sessions of 1909-11, Rob
ertson had served as state senator from
his district. His aggressive work in
the senate and in state politics resulted
in his selection as district attorney
from a long list of Democrat candi-
dates. Robertson's former home was
in Atwood. Rawlins county.

Il Hide and Skin Census.

TY HE Kreider bill, providing for a month
ly census of available hides and skins
in the United States, should commend
itself to the favorable consideration of Con-
gress. Its author, at recent hearing, urged
its passage because as he said, it would
enable manufacturers of shoes and boots to
judge whether they are being charged exorbi-
tant prices for leather. And so it would, but
it seems to us that Congressman Kreider in
his argument, should have gone step further
and added that the information contained in
such a census report would enable the public
the wearers of boots and shoes-to tell
whether the manufacturers were reaping an
exorbitant profit the output of their
plants.
1t is assumed that in the event Congress
makes provision for hide and skin census
the monthly reports will be published broad
cast, and such publication would afford the
public as we'll as the shoe manufacturers
accurate information as to the available sup
ply of shoe material The consumers will be
able, from this information, to form their
own judgment as to the reasonableness of
the prices they are forced to pay for their
footwear.
The compilation and distribution by the
Government of statistics relating to the sup
plies of raw materials in the United States
is a matter in which the public has natural
interest The Department of Agriculture has,
for many years, gathered and published fire.
quent reports as to the available supply Of
cotton, wheat and other cereals, and it is well
recognized that these statistics have ire
mendous influence on the prices for which
these commodities SELL 1t seems just as rea-
sonable for the Government to keep tab on
the hides and skins, and to inform the pub
lie as to the available supply at frequent in
tervas.
With respects to shoes and boots, it hasn't
been many months since the ever-increasing
price of leather was attributed to an alarm
ing scarcity of hides.
The public would have accepted this
explanation without question, had it not
been countered by reports that farmers in
certain parts of the country had large accumu-
lations of hides, which they had been unable
to sell. These reports we're unofficial, and
while they did not operate to check the rise
in prices they created general dissatisfaction
among the consuming public. If the Gov
eminent had been engaged in the compilation
Of census of hides and skins and the Gov
eminent reports had confirmed officially the
presence of a large quantity of hides in the
hands of farmers, the rise in prices would
! have been checked instantly.

INTOLERANCE
Bv DR.. Frank Crane

Intolerance. when the doctor uses the
word, is not the same as intolerance WHICH,
the preacher uses it. ..,..-
Enthusiastically intolerance means hosClli.s
to an opinion that differs from mine. Meul-
caIlv speaking, intolerance signifies the nos
ti1itv of the body toward certain medlc1ne.
For instance the doctor says: In many
of the diseases in which the bromides lind
their chief field of utility, it is often neces-
sarv to administer them for prolonged Pc
RODS and in considerable doses Inls Is NO.
ticeably so in cases of epilepsy and the va
rious neuroses 1t is a matter OF frequent
observation for patients thus treated to de-
veIop more or less intolerance to these drugs,
which manifests itself in certain Phenomena
known as bromism. They consist chlefly IN
the production OF various cutaneous leslohs'
especially of the type of acne and erythema,
which in some patients may give rise to con-
siderable disagreement of the face from pus-
tule formation and pitting. In other in
stances, bromism reveals itself by disorders
of the central nervous system, which may
even develop to such an extent that the pa
tient cannot follow his regular vocation"
The gist of which seems to be that a medi-
cine will do good only about SO long, then
the body strikes, antagonizes 1T and you have
to try something else.
In truth you can stand anything just
about so long, in soul or body. In all things
human there's a limit.
Freddy loves you and all that, and likes your
petting and coddlng, but remember about
that point of tolerance. Also he can stand
a certain amount Of bossing and regulating
and enjoy it, but there's a limit the wise wife
will not pass.
And, Freddy, she may like bit of the cave
man stuff, and masterful, manly business,
but don't push it until she develops intol-
erance and begins to break out.
Rather an interesting idea, this of intoler-
ance. Just where the saturation point is
located, in various cases, is worthy of note.
Just about one minute is all you can stand
from some people, and with others you feel
nausea when you see them coming.
Even to good things there's limit. The
English have slang phrase that connotes it
Fled up
Pie is good, but past the third or fourth
helping it develops intolerance. Politeness is
as agreeable as pie, but there is such thing
as OVERRIDING that.
And isn't there mark beyond which the
following good and estimable things arouse
intolerance in us? These:
Gentleness speechifying, self-assertion
culture, help, visiting, suggestions, advice.
telling one things for ones own good. criti-
cism, optimism, flattery and preaching.
Blessed is the man, yea thrice blessed ia
the woman that knows when to stop.

Formal announcement of the sale of $780,
600, 900 of ten-year z per cent mortgage
bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad company
to Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was made very recently.
The rate of per cent was a surprise, but
it broke the deadlock in railroad financing
and the expectation is that the bonds will
sell at premium within short time.
1t is not the first time that the Pennsyl
vania railroad has broken a deadlock in the
world of railroad financing. Back in 1908,
and again in 1915, the company paid more
than usual interest rate to make the re-
suits of the financing a success.

The Prussian Assembly has been busted in
the last week or so with legislation for
hnancial settlement between the Hohenzo1hern
family and the State. The principal bill If
appears, provides that thiPty-nine castles and
estates shall be retained by the Hohenz el-
lerns; that twenty-five castles and estates
together with many pictures and valuables -
shall be transferred to the State, compensa-
ton therefor being allowed; and that ffty
castles and estates shall be renounced by the
Hohenzollerns in favor of the State without
compensation. The holdings thus left the
once royal family amount to something like a
billion marks; and should the ex-Kaiser him
self ever return to Prussia, he still would
have castles numbering only one fewer than
the forty thieves.
This strikes the more democratic elements

FRISCO HAS CHANGED
Associated Press)

San Francisco, June 24.-Visitors
&c the democratic national convention
will see but few reminders of the old,
romantic days of San Francisco. when
the red-shirted miners swept down
from the gold-streaked reaches of the
Sierras and threw fistfulls of "pay
dirt" on the bars or the store coun-
tels for whatever they wished to pur-
chase.
Gone is the roaring "Barbary
Coast" and its less picturesque en-
virons. Bottle" Koenig and "Bot-
tie" Meyers, who used to run noisy
cock fighting establishments in what
is now the shadow of the Hall of Jus
tice, have long since passed on and
the Montana Dance Hail." most
blaring and blatant of all the coast
resorts, is hardly a memory.
Chinatown guides still point out
the little restaurant hanging precar-
iCusly over old Dupont street where
Frank Norris, the author, went oc-
casionally to get bit of local color
Directly ahead and facing the Hall of
Justice is Portsmouth Square, a cove
for the city's human drift where the
Vigilantes staged many a stirring
scene and the "sand lotters" under
the leadership of fiery Dennis Kear-
liey, discussed the towns political is
sues.
Most of the old cafes, where much
of the city's history was plotted, re-
main in name only. Gone is Duncan
Nichols, the "Bank Echange," of for
mer days. where the famous Pisco
Punch was served over a mahogany
bar that was brought around the
Horn. The old Cliff House, where
presidents of the United States and
ether renowned itinerants used to en-
joy the sea food breakfasts, was burn
ed years ago.
On Waverly Place still may be
seen the quarters of the old Siberia
Club, stronghold of zee Nee, "King
of Chinatown" Here. before the DO
lice cake parties" became a feature of
Chinatown, the chance games of
"coon-can," "chuck-a-luck" and "fan-
tan" were played in the midst of a
maze of corridors, sliding panels
worked by secret springs and exotic
doors of opium and Chinese dishes.
The black docks that lined the
Front" from China Basin to the
Preside are gone and stately berths
for ocean liners have risen in their
place. The dingy bars that stood
back of them, where adventures of
all degrees were once dropped, drug
stupefed, through trap-doors and
into waiting boats as part of the
great Shanghai" game, all have been.
swept away. The Shanghai" was the
system for recruiting the crews of the
"lime-juicers,' the great deep sea
barks, that piled principally between
San Francisco and South American
ports.
Mob Hill, once the home of the
city's elite, shows a collection of jag
ged foundations, much as the great
fire left it. "South of the Slot" the
ancient tenements have given way to
smart apartments, in their midst
standing the slowly disintegrating
ruins of the mission in Sorrows"
known in the Spanish as the mission
Doolres," built in 1776 by the Fran
ciscans. 1t is the best memento of
the romantic old San Francisco that
endures.
