And, If you care for only a good -play so admir ably played that It will give you an j evening of thorough enjoyment, you will not be disappointed. In "The Lion and the Mouse" Chas. Klein, the' author, has constructed a play of exceptional strength and un usual Interest. He has taken a sub ject which keenly appeals to every American citizen the acquiring of wealth and Its concentration in the hands of n few men. This, Mr. Klein uses as a background for a love story which wins and holds the ouiooKers sympathy. At the same time ho has driven home without preaching or moralizing the fact or tne menace which lies In the abuse of capital and ofttimcs fearful results upon thoso who misuse It, ityid those who oppose Its misuse. In the plot for a story Mr. Klein has taken a judge who, after long and faithful service on the bench, has been impoverished, his honesty ques tioned and his position placed In jeop ardy, from llaving handed down a de cision unfavorable to the great amal gamated Interests of John Burkett Ryder and hi fellows. . His' upright ness, a thorn in the wie of the capl-1 talists, induces them to resort to a. scheme to dishonor and depose him. J Tine daughter of the judge retains' from Europe Just as t'ae blow la'.ls, I and, finding her father disgraced and J In poverty, takes the matter Into her I own hands. Phone Main 8 TI GEO..

KEF.NET, Agent, La Grande. Miss Green, who, of course, Is Shir ley Rossmore, enters and there fol lows a remarkably stimulating ea counter between her and Ryder. De lighted with her fraukness and clev ewieBS he asks her to write his bio graphy and puts her lu possession of secret documents from which to get the date. After being one of the mem bers of his household for a consider able length of time, the masters sub jugation to hor cleverness and wit Is so complete, that he asks her to mar ry bis sou In order to kw p hi out of the clutches of the daughter of the hated Rossmores. Her keen sense of womanhood and her love for Joffu-soi will not allow her to further deceive those wio have shown he i-i sural! kindness and thereupon she admits her Identity as being the ra! Miss Rossmore. Outwitted and cheated In his fond est hopes Ryder in a fit nf exaspera tion, orders her from his house, whereupon the son . Jeffersou inter feres, telling hU father bis determin ation to leave with her and become her husband. Here Shirley's pride Interferes and she denounces Ryder, Sr., assuring him that she would not allow herself to fall so low as to mar ry the son of a man who traxples all good under his golden heel and who refuses to lift hU hand to savo ber father from unmerited disgrace. This scene has been -unanimously conceded by af critics to be one of the very best Introduced In a drama of recent years.

Depot & Adams Ave. La Grande, Oregon A Few Reasons Why a Patriotic Citizen Should Not Vote For Jonathan Bourne. . COLONEL IBOOSEYELT AND ROUENE. , ... : . j When Colonel Roosevelt, as president of the United States, wrote the kind of letters that are herewith reprinted you may be sare there was ample cause fo his action. After reading the letters. It la haid for you to come to any othr'ronclusion than that Oregon's senior senator, Jonathan Bourne, was thoroughly Identified with the Standard Oil and that he was attempting to Intercede for the Standard Oil company with , the president at that time. Ph ase note the tone of Colonel Roosevull'a words to this man who has pr'ena- ed to represent Oregon in tie United States senate: ( "Sagamore Hill, Feb. 2,lfN)S.JIy Dear Senator: I am sorry I could not see you today, but I do not like to see anyone on Sunday on business if It can be avoided. "As to what you told me the othet evening about the Standard Oil people, do remember that, while any propos als they make will be considered In an entirely frank and honorablo spirit yet these proposals must be condition ed upon absolute obedience to the law " and must be laid in detail before tho attorney-general and Frank B. Kel logg before It would b? possible for . me to express any ppinlon on them. I know you understand this, but I want you to be sure that the Standard Oil people do not misunderstand It and do not get the impression tli u it was my desire or by my initiative that negetiatlons have been entered Into with them by you or by anyone, or that there will.be any failures to lay .the matter In full detail beforo Mr. ' Bonaparte and Mr. Kellogg. With re gards, believe me, sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." , ' "Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 3, 1308 My Dear Senator: Mr. Loeblius trans mitted to mo your telephone message as to Mr. Kellogg submitting a writ ten memorandum. My dear stfnator, let me repent In writing what I have suld again and again to Mr. Archbold ant! to you and what I stated at miK.b length In our interview of Inst "it day. In my Judgment, It Is not only a waste of time, but inadvisable to try to carry on negotiations through you as Intermediary. "Let the Standard Oil lawyres. any or all of them as Mr. Archbold or Mr. Rockefeller or ayone tlse may choose, decide as to the course they wish to follow, and then communicate direct to Mr. Kellogg or the attorney-general. I read you what Mr. Bonaparte wrote me, which I had previously read to Mr. Kellogg, and I furnished you with a copy of it. You now Inform Mr. Loeb that this Is (not specific enougn. it was not meant to be specific. It was not meant to, show you. It was meant by Mr. Bonaparte to advise me as iO what Tie and Mr. Kellogg thought was . the proper course to follow. 1 read.lt to you so that you might understand what the attitude of the department of Justice was, and when I rVad It to you I explained explicitly to Mr. Archbold and yourself what I have now put In writing -above, namely, that it is un desirable to attempt to carry out ne gotiations through you, and that the proper person for you to communicate with was not me, but Air. Bonaparte or Mr. Kellogg. Then an appeal can always be made to me; but obviously the first thing to do is to have the counsel of the Standard Oil communi cate with tlw counsel of the depart ment of Justice, Mr. Kellogg, or with Mr.. Bonaparte himself. Sincerely yours, "THEODORE 1 C JSEVELT.' A Pt'inocrut'ti Opinion of Ronnie. "When the Pnyn"?-Aldrlch tariff bill was being considered Bourne admit ted on the floor of the senate tliut he did not. know anything about the tar iff, but left that with Aldrlch with whom he voted In nearly every In stance. Neither do we want a man In the United States senate who is so close to the Standard Oil company an intermediary, if you please, for that corporation." Walter M.
