Ford Back at Work.

Reopening of the most important
plant of the Ford Motor Company on
a limited schedule is another straw
indicating the direction of the indus
trial wind. In common with in
Vulnerable other renewals of suspend
ed operations, it shows that the in
dustries of the country are rapidly
recovering from the scare which de-
veloped over the process of readjust-
ment to a peace basis There is every
possibility that this resumption of ac-
tivity will soon become general all
over the country.
The buyers strike. we believe, is
passing. The determination to carry
on is reasserting itself. Gradually
the 3act that there is nothing wrong
with the country is taking possession
of popular psychology. Merchants
are in market for their spring stocks
and the factories are falling in line
to supply the orders of the whole
salers. People are now purchasing
what they need and will continue, to
do So The obvious course for bus
mess is straight ahead.
Industries which have been await
ing developments, we believe, ought
to resume operations without more
ado. The progress of events is un-
that direction. 1t
seems worth while to get an early
start. Revised prices in iron and
steel ought to be Of great assistance
because of their effect on the mate
rails market. Those who longer re-
main idle awaiting the return OF
are, in our opinion, merely
killing Chattanooga News.

II action and suggestion
is ipsactically the same.
But as we have stated, the screen
stage has a place in the world and a
very large one. 1t is educational,
moro so in its way than the illus
1trated book or paper. 1t is far more
universal and it's patrons are more
numerous. The idea more vital than
any other is to create popular SEN
timent for good pictures. That is
the way to handle the movies.
The romances, the heroics, the
landscape work, the illustrated news
service, and many other features are
invaluable to the public in the world
Of progress. And it may be Of inter
est to many of us that some of the
leading photo-play houses in the
larger cities are discriminating in
the picture service. Among these II
the Capitol, the largest theatre in
the world, located in New York City.
There are others there and elsewhere
which are making a start for better
and cleaner pictures, and the public
is indorsing this in a practical way.
Really we cannot do without the ed
vocational features of the picture
service, but we can and in time will
do without the salacious features. It
will not be in Blue Laws but in pub
lie sentiment. Blue Laws never evan,
gelizcd the world. They are more or
less the hypocrite's castle.
Those who are familiar with the
spoken drama remember that it was
in the days of bellies lettres that the
drama had nc footh0d, not even the
respect of the English speaking race.
There was no stage but the green
carpet and the barn loft. Tho stroll
Ing actor, like Robert Macaire and
Jacques Strop, was generally nom
al, shiftless character. Tie religious
Pharisee Stunned him/as something
vile.
AS time passed Samuel Johnson
and Colley Cibber took notice Of the
pure that was in the dross-the art
OF TIE stagecraft. This was the i'm
petus of an evolution which brought
some of the genius of the world in
such names as David Garrick, Edmund
Keane, Junills ,Brutus Booth, and our |
own Edwin Forrest and Edwin Booth. |
Many a time the beloved actor Jo-
seph Jefferson, appeared in a barn in
some of his wonderful comedies. The |
day came when the elder Joseph Hoi-
land was to be buried and the minis
ter of a rich Fifth Avenue church |
refused to serve at the funeral. JEFF
ferson, in charge of his friends re-
mains, was told to go to the Little
Church Around the Corner" the |
Church of the TRANSPORTATION, and
that church to-day is one of the most
popular in New York City. From
that day the spoken drama has had
its friends as well as it's fine charac-
tiers in such people as Julia Marlowe.
Annie Russell, Maude Adams, Mrs.
Fiske, Sol Smith Russell Sir johnson.
Forbes Robertson and others
long list of them.
So we are not to undertake the i'm
possible task of destroying the screen
play, but to make it serve useful
purpose, because it is one of the
great mediums of developing civ
iliza+ion.

Mr.. !. w Weed, travelling out of
Kansas City, Mo-. was visitor in
our office this week MIR. Weed came
in to chat about the Fordney tariff,
or rather the 'jitney tariff" He has
been making some figures to show
that we cannot raise the price Of
wheat with a protective tariff. Mr..
Weed is a Democrat and says he likes
Kansas City because it is settled UP
by Tennesseans and Kentuckians. He
says that Kansas is a wheat country
and that the farmers there look at
the Fordney tariff as political move
Offering sop to the farmer. The
United States and Canada do not i'm
port wheat and hence they cannot
profit with an import duty as pro-
lection to the home market. Most
everyone was surprised when Sena-
tor Penrose offered to support the
bill, but he. seems to be perfectly
easy over its march to defeat.

FOURTH OF JULY IN ELY
TO Be A TAME AFFAIR

The Fourth of July this year prom
ises to be the quietest on record and
is the first time in many years that
Ely has made no general observance
OF the day. This IL not because OF
any lack of patriotic sentiment, but
business conditions are such that the
raising of any considerable sum or
money Is looked upon as a task mo-
easy of accomplishment. and while
there are some volunteers with cash
contributions there seems TO be a
general lack OF initiative in the mat
ter, which may be taken TO mean that
the CELEBRATION spirit this year is neu-
trail.
However, the day will not pass en-
tirely unobseryed, as the local Elks
will keep open house Al the Willow
Club, where during the forenoon the
facilities of the clubhouse and the
grounds will be thrown open to the
entertainment OF the Riddles. There
Will be ice cream, lemonade. popcorn
and cookies, with a short program of
= patriotic nature. The mothers
are invited to join with the
children In the good time 10 be pro-
yided. During the afternoon there
will be dancing and a display OF fire
works during the evening hours. The
county commissioners aud the Ely
city council have donated a total OF
500 to assist the Elks in providing
the observance.
As the national holiday falls on

TO IMPROVE ROADS IN
LAKE VALLEY SECTION

The board of county commissioners
met last Monday in Il session held
pursuant TO recess of the regular
meeting and discussed matters per-
tanning TO road work throughout the
county. A request was received from
the Gcyser Land and Cattle Company,
in the southern part of the county,
asking for repairs to the road from
the Shoshone road into Lake valley
to the Geyser ranch. This road is re-
ported to be in bad condition and the
prospect Of considerable travel and
hauling of ore from the Lake Valley
mine makes it imperative that re-
pairs should be made this year. The
commissioners determined 10 make a
trip over the road and ascertain the
amount of work necessary to put the
highway in good condition. This sec
ton is a part of the new Eastern Ne
vada highway as approved by the last
session of the legislature.
Attorney II. W. Edwards appeared
before the board and Informed the
members that the Elks lodge had
made arrangements to provide u
nent for the young folks OF the
Fourth of July and requested the
commissioners to contribute the sum
of $50 toward defraying the expense
OF providing fireworks for the eve
ming of the Fourth. The same re-
quest VAS made TO the city council
and the contribution vas made. The
board made an order authorizing the
county treasurer TO pay the sum of
$50 into the fund to provide for tbs
celebration.
The resignation of Miss Jennie NJ.
Newinger. matron of the county hos
pital. having been accepted by the
board at a former meeting, the name
OF Mrs. Eleanor C. Kirkham was sug-
gested as matron for the hospital and
the appointment was made by the
board, beginning July |. Mrs. Kirk
ham assumed her new duties Satur-
day.
The question OF building a road
from the Ely-Calumet mine. on the
hill north of the city of Ely. was
brought before the board and a gen.
eral discussion of the power of the
county board to build this road took
place. In the afternoon several citi-
zens appeared before the board and
urged the advisability of the county
building the road. The mining com
pany proposed that the county build

The question of the legality OF the
proposition was discussed by the
members of the board and it was
finally decided to await an expression
from the people through the Cham.
Der OF Commerce before any definite
action was taken by the board
The commissioners after making n
visit TO the county hospital declared
a recess until Friday afternoon.
Friday afternoon The board met
and considered a proposal of Hugh
Thomas. representing allied telephone
interests. to purchase from the coun.
~ the telephone line from Ely TO
Hamilton. The offer made by Mr.
Thomas was considerably lower than
what the commissioners estimated the
value of the telephone line to be and
the offer was refused.
The next meeting of the board will
be held next Tuesday. when the COM
missioners will be in regular session
for the month to examine and allow
claims against the county.
