MABEL N0RMAND LAST
 APPEARANCE TONIGHT:
 JACK PICKFORD SUNDAY

The story of "When Doctors Disa- gree' is one of the most original and different ever screened. From the first reel to the last it's continuous round of laughs, with a lot of novel and new situations that lift it out of the ordinary farce comedy. Mabel Normand's art as commediene is too we'll known to need comment She is at her best in this picture, which is showing again tonight at the Empress.
 Bill Apperson's Boy" as played by Jack Pickford at the Empress Sum- day night, is full of pep, punch and pathOs; it is the essence of action, drama, romance, fights and feuds, He couldn't tolerate another woman in his dead mothers place, and so he went away. 1t is a tense epic of the second wife" problem. There is a pretty mountain romance running through the plays. Circumstantial evidence made the boy burglar in his sweetheart's home. She defended him, but the stigma remained, and under the strict mountain code she would not marry him. A year passed, which developed the boy into man who returned, fought for his own, and won.
 A play in which the interest never lags, and in which the star is SUD- ported by wonderful array of typi- cal mountaineer characters who com bine pathos with humor in a manner wholly irresistible. --.

HE LAUGHS BEST HERE WHO
 LAUGHS AFTER WHILE

Administrations organs are growing loudly over the defeat of Senator Gore for renomination in Oklahoma by Representative Scott P. Ferris, Wilsonian Democrat and champion of the League of Nations covenant just as it was brought home from Paris without the dotting of an 'i' or the crossing of a "t.''
 It might be we'll for these subser- vient publications to wait and see what happens in Oklahoma as the re- suit of the defeat of Gore and the nomination of Ferris. Some indica- tion of the sentiment existing in a special congressional election in the Oklahoma City congressional district last fall, when a district heavily Dem ocratic was carried on the league is- sue by J. w. Harreld, the very Re- publican who was nominated for Uni ted States senator in the Oklahoma primaries against Representative Fer ris.
 If Senator Gore had been renomi- mated the hard boiled, rubber-stamp Democrats of the Ferris following would have fallen in line for the nom- inee. But the Gore Democrats of Oklahoma, all of them opposed to the unamended league of Nations cove nant, and numbering, as shown by the returns, nearly half of the member ship of the party in the state, feel that their leader has been unjustly turned down" merely for the display of manly independence, merely for standing up for the preserved inde- pendence of his own country.
 What the defeat of Senator Gore does is to add Oklahoma to the list of states, hitherto Democratic, which in all probability will elect Repub- can senator this fall. This is an in- dicated gain of one seat in the senate that gives Republicans as much sat isfaction as the repudiation of Sena- atOr Gore gives, for the moment, that element of the Democratic party which is ready to follow Mr. Wilson anywhere he leads, even if that be into the shambles of European poli- tics, diplomacy and war.
 The opportunity now lies clearly be- fore Oklahoma Republicans to carry the state, incidentally picking up two or three more members of the house. It is their duty, as it is the duty of Republicans in every state where there is hope of Republican victory, to go into the fight to win, burying factional differences for the sake of the common cause. Oklahoma is too thoroughly American state to be represented in the United States sen ate by any politician who is willing to trade the birthright. of American ism for mess of European pottage; who is willing to sacrifice the rights, interests and ideals of America to the demands either of bolshevik or finan- cial internationalism.

THE STAGGERING BILL FOR
 WASTE AND INEFFICIENCY

An increase of forty per cent in freight rates comes very near being a national calamity The effect will be to cause the high cost of living to mount still higher, for the added cost of freight will be tackled on to the price of every necessity of life. It will seriously interfere with many in- dustries. Many. commodities cannot profitably be shipped at the higher rate which could be carried at the low CT. Fuel and raw materials will be heavily increased in cost.
 Yet it must be remembered that the new freight rates will not be higher, value of the dollar considered, than the old rates of the hundred-cent dollar days. It should be recalled, too, that the railways are still staggering under the burdens of increased cost and de- creased deficiency imposed during the period of governmental operation, the government and roads deficits could be met out of the public treasury to come from the public to pay operat- ing costs and fixed charges. The rates fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commission were based upon the showing of necessity made by the rail- roads.
 A billion and a half more revenue for the. railways means more than a dollar a week added to the cost of living for every family in the United tates,-fifteen dollars year for each individual, to be exact. This is half as much money as it took to run the railways of the country before the days of the new freedom,-back in the days of Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft. In other words in those days three billion dollars paid the total cost of operation, maintenance, equipment, taxes, interest on debt, dividends on stock, besides all sums transferred to surplus account.
 Now the railway wage item alone totals four billion dollars year, or one. billion more than the total cost of running the railways, maintenance of way and equipment and all fixed charges four years ago. The cost of fuel has increased several hundred million dollars a year. Other items of equipment have similarly risen in price.
 Six hundred million dollars of the billion and half granted the railways will go into increased wages as alot- ted by the government board. The re- mainder will go into other increased costs of construction and operation. The railroads of the country are near to a condition of physical and finan- cia1 wreck.
 The bill the people of this country have had to pay for imitation of the currency, public extravaganza and mis- management and the deliberate break down of the disposition of the people to render a dollars worth of service or value for the dollar, so industrious

JACS ON INCREASE IN
 ENGLAND AND WALES

LONDON, Sept. 4 (by Associated Press) .-Convictions for drunkenness in England and Wales in 1919 was nearly double the figure for 1918 The total was 57,94S as compared with 29,O75, according to an official report just issued. Greater London and Northern England accounted for 93 per cent of the total.
 Among some of the reasons given for the increase are that there are more men at home and fewer of them in kahki, more policemen and those duty, more hours for drinking and stronger liquor.

In the original application for in
creases, the roads divided the coun-
try into three groups-eastern, west
ern and southern. They asked freight
rate increase of 1915 for the eastern,
32.03 for the western and 1891 for
the southern.
The commission also on its own ini-
tiative applied the general increase to
all special services performed by the
carriers. 1t explained in its decision
that the railroads had not included
this provision in its proposal, but
stated this was due to a msunder-
standing. 1t therefore authorized the
increase to apply to switching, weigh

age, floatage, storage and transfer

lie made against the shippers for any

of this commission to enforce the law,
as congress has written it. The ques.

great and so vital to the American
people that no such suggestions as

cate and vital situation that now con-

Details of the increases were dis.
cussed by the members at length. Dis.
cussing. provisions for rates between
the various groups Of roads, the com
mission said that joint or single line
through rates between points in one
group and points i'm other groups
should be increased 33 1-2 per cent
The commission also said the increases
should apply to individual commodity
rates now in effect.
As to grain rates the commission
said it found that such rates into
and out Of important grain markets
in the middle west might be increased
by the general percentages with the
understanding that the carriers would

As to eastern carriers. the commits
