Floor Leader in Doubt.

Floor Leader in Doubt.
Nobody knows definitely who is go
ing to be the floor leader of the Re
publicans in the next house. Things
have been In such a wildly scrambled
condition. l~egislatively speaking, that
the Republican members who will
hold over have been unable to give
much definite organization thought to
the future. During the spring and
summer they will begin to think and
to plan, and it is only the truth, prob
ably, to say that thinking and plan
ming will be necessary.
Representative Nicholas Longworth
Of Ohio and Representative William ].
Graham of Illinois still are rivals for
the job of floor leader of the Repub-
licans in the next house. Neither of
these gentlemen probably believes
that in n case he is to have an en-
tireIy easy time If the leadership shall
make it certain that a legislative ma
jority Is represented by such a scant
margin as II votes.
There are many hopeful Republicans
here whose seeming belief Is that, be-
cause next year there Is to be a presi-
Dental election, many Republican
members of the house who other
wise might be inclined to be unruly
will be more amenable to discipline, or
at any rate to persuasion. Represent
atiVes of prominence seem to feel that
the members of their party who have
Joined in fractional groups will refrain
from doing it next year because of
their desire to make a party record
which will result in the election of a
Republican president.
Democrats Foresee Little Trouble.
The Democrats in the next house
will have some troubles Of their own,
but as they are determined to cap
ture the presidency If they can, the
members probably will be on their
good party behavior, and the Demo
cratic leaders say there will be COM
paratively little trouble in holding
their followers in line for such poll
cies as may seem to be of a kind to
aid in success at the polls. One fact
cannot be gainsaid: there are more
leading Democrats who are followers
than there are leading Republicans,
consequently the Democracy in the
lower house will have plenty of
skilled parliamentarianr and plenty of
persuasive old-timers who possess the
ability to soothe party animosities,
and to bring men of varying views
into accord.
OF course there is no doubt at all
that the Republicans will organize the
next house of representatives. Whether
or not with the small majority which
will be at their command they will be
able to go through the next session. a
prediction session, without friction
remains Of course to be seen. The
Democrats say one thing and the Re-
publicans say another.
There will be nine months, probably,
which the Democrats and the Repub-
licans of the next house of represent
atiyes can have unto themselves for
making their legislative, and in a way
political, plans for the future. Some
legislation has gone over from the
present congress which perhaps never
will be seen again In legislative form,
but 1t Is known that some great ques-
lions are to be given consideration
next year, and this being the case, the
value of time for preparation is thor

kindred Of the Dust"

Gripping drama, produced by n
masterhand and enacted by a cast
the strength of which could not have
been improved upon, collectively or
individually.
That is kindred OF the Dust"
an Associated First National at
traction produced by Raoul A..
Walsh from the famous novel by
Peter b. kyne, whose readers are
numbered in the hundreds of thou
sands, starts a two-day run at the
Opera House today.
Seldom have we beheld a picture
which is so grippingly effective,
thanks to the skill of the author
and producer, and tho talent of the
cast. The suspense which is
quickly developed at the start of
the tale is carried without diminu-
ton throughout the six reels. and
the gathering momentum results in
o. climax which literally brings one
out of his seat.
Especially noteworthy are the
spectacular incidents OF the story,
such as a rescue on the log jam.
The imminent danger by the two
actors who imperil their lives be-
fore the camera is SO apparent that
the spectator leans forward with
bated breath. fearful that one or
both will slip through the logs and
be drowned.
Throughout the tale there is a
thread of romance which has n
particular appeal of its own. with

part of the lovers. Others in this
