is enriched with exquisite emotional
work by Leona Powers, whose
physique, as we'll as her fine theatrical
equipment, seems to especially fit her
for the role of Diane, the wretched

seems to have greatly rounded out and
improved his own characterization.
Percy Winter stands out as the
good priest who tempts thievery with
tin watches, in order to locate his sim
ners for redemption, and Charles
Hampden still gives to the lovable old
rascal, Boul, the driver of the famous
war cab, Eloise, the traits that first
make one laugh and then weep in
sympathy with him. Another minor
but vet outstanding Characterization
is that of Clifford kettler as the Rat,
a creature of the sewers, who breads
baptism more than the police.
ROmaine Calender completely fills
the measure first as the inspector of
police and then as Col. BrisSac, who
loves but strives in vain to win Diane
from her Chico. when the latter is be.
lieved to be dying. Dorothy Tierney
offers a bright bit as Mana; Arthur
Rhodes does fine work as ''the Hose, y
whose social level he accounted above
the outcaSts of the sewers and even
Boul, the cabman. while Adelaide Hib-
bard as the aunt of the unfortunate
sisters; Arthur White, as their hard
Calvinistic uncle; William Phelps. as

OF course, there was much applause
not inspired by the work of the play
ers, but sent out rather as good-by
testimonial of appreciation of their
entire work of the Summer. and, per-
haps, of past years. There was no
tear shedding. signing, or even a sob,
but 1t was plainly manifest that the
audience in it's entirety felt pang of
regret that the enjoyable season Of
these players had at last drawn to a
close. And on leaving the theater
there might be heard inquiries as to
when reservations for next season
might be made; and this, of itself,
seemed fine compliment to go with
the goodby for this season.

EDITORIAL
PACE
THE PRESIDENTS SUMMER VISIT

With President Coolidges return to Washing
ton the New York World has summed up his sum-
mer activities in very concrete and interesting form
The World editorial said in part:
Zone looks back upon this summer in the Dakota
Hills, and from the point of view of general public
interest finds three high spots:
First, of course there is the Presidents sud
cen and unexpected announcement in early August
that he did not choose to rum
Second, there is the interesting and somewhat
astonishing fact that in the whole course of the sum
mer not single farm-block leader not single in
surgent Western Governor and not single rebel
Senator has visited the President though he pitched
his camp conveniently in the center Of agraran un-
rest Mr. Coolidges official callers those who came
for the purposes Of consultation and the resulting
publicity for their ideas in the press have consisted
of party hacks like Secretary Davis and Senator
Fess, Representative Mlson and somebody who was
Governor OF Nebraska in the early nineties
Third, there is the new avalanche of focal
color news which has let loose from South Dakota
IN an unprecedented flood: Pictures and news
stories OF Mr. Coolidge wearing chaps at COWBOY

1T is also possible that Item is the cause rather
than the result OF Item 2; that when Mr. Coolidge
went to the Black Hills he already had decided he
would not be candidate in 1923, and that he there
fore made no attempt to win the politicians of the
West.
1T is also possible, finally that Item has some
thing to do with Item 3; for there is noticeable
ropping-off in the panning of gold and the wearing
of buckskins after the famous announcement of Mr..
Cooldge's decision not to rum"

NEW MINES SHOULD BE ENCoURAGED

In Shoshone County, Idaho, new mines being
developed spent $4,57O,514 during 1926; of which
onethird was local money and the rest from outside
states.
Most of these mines will pay good profits. The
important thing, however, is the confidence that
lew good mines establish in community, and
the outside money they bring in as permanent i'm
vestment 1t means profit for the investors and for
every producer within reach--the farmer, gardener
miller, tradesmen and artisan
Mining is basic industry; as essential as farm
ing or transportation or clothing. It is to every
bodys best interest to encourage legitimate mining
prospects This does not mean approving fraud
or overenthusasm-m mining does not need or want
that but the intelligent attitude of making mining
an integral part of a countrys resources, on par
with every other industry that supports life and
brings prosperity.

Nogales will probably have more representatives in
Tucson today than any other neighboring city, and
the crowd that will be in Tucson will undoubtedly be
the greatest in the history of that city. It is well
worth anyones time to journey to Tucson to see

TELEPHONE CONTRIBUTIONS TO
HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

The telephone, through research and experience:
has become the father Of an ilustrious family OF
o.r,rnication instruments including the Vitaphone,
which furnishes voice to motion pictures; an audio-
meter to test hearing electrical stethoscope which
amplifes the fantest heart sounds public address
system which carries speakers voice to tens OF
thousands; and the microphone-the heart of the

Many Of these devices are used in some form by
tne telephone industry in transmitting human
speech; others have found big and useful field in
other industries force Of $500 people, composed
of scientists engineers, chemists and research work
ers seeking better, cheaper and faster improve
ments in telephony.
This service is part of the contribution to the
general welfare and happiness of the public which
privately owned and operated utility makes, and is in
vivid contrast to the nonprogressve attitude of gov
Europe where the service is so wretched.

The Autumn Harvest

BY Ruth Perkins
Now the leaves, brown, red and gold,
Fall in showers from the trees.
A quilted blanket on the ground,
Move with every breeze.
The green fields turn bright yellow,
With pumpkins and the corn.
Ripe apples hang from boughs
above,
And hazy is the morn.
Crisp the nuts fall from the trees,
Squirrels chatter gay.
Storing nuts for winter cold,
All work, no time for play.
And in the barn yard turkey struts,

TIE, SLAUGHTER

Tbe influenza epidemic some years ago sent thousands Of victims to untImoly graves; the war levied a depressing toll of heroic lives; earthquakes have shocked their thousands into eternity; torna1oes have swept towns and leyclod hun lrods 10 rest. All these things aroused commiscration, sympathy, ia"urH distress among the survivors.
 Another kind of slaughter, one which continues piecemeal but re- solves into q total Of thousands is reported by the American Road Builders association. \ survey of the las five years made by inc as aocia'ion brings to light that 36,o0o school children. most of them less than l% years of agv. were killed on th" highways during that period.
 All told, more than lo0.0uo per sons were Killed on the highways and the streets during that time. and more than 5000, ono were sent to hospitals.
 This is record Of whiC1 the na- lion is not justified in feeling pride: it is typically American and is un-
 
 cqualed in any other country. It may not mean that EEe value human life cheaply. and that nothing, not
