(Milwaukee Journal.) The Wilson administration has suc- ceeded in winning the confidence of | business men to such an extent, that the chamber of commerce of the | Uitea States has appointed a commit- tee to hold intimate conference with the new trade board and help to put | the new business laws into effect with as little friction as possible, | The old idea of Big Business was to | | sit back and lambast ‘the govern- [ ment” and evervthing it did, whether good or bad. There was much bah- | nling about the “hounding and perse- | cution of Big Business.” Captains of industry opposed all laws and all regu- iation until driven to the last ditch and then accepted, in a reluctant, an- tagonistic mood, these new laws. There was no attempt to give govern- ‘nent fstance in framing construe- | tive laws, though they gave plenty of help in the way of laws that put | money into their pockets—tariff laws, | for instance. Either Big Business | would have “whole hog or none."” Tiither write the laws, or fight them. How much better the new policy is to have governmental agencies solving | auestions of legality and morality of | trade methods in advance. Given a trade board whose motives and pur- voses are dominated by integrity and good sense, it is safe for the country to entrust to it vast powers of in- dividual discretion. The swift, silent way of submitting mooted trade prob- | ilems to a federal umpire bent upon | doing justice to all concerned, from the manufactufer to the consumer, should mean a new era of good feel- ing among business men and un- exampled prosperity for all.

Take the one relating to Mr. Penrose. That, in the lingo of the theater, a “scream.” According to Mr., Roasevelt, Mr. Penrose was recommended to him for nrational campaign manager in 1904. Mr. Penrose says he was not an pirant for the place, and has heard now for the first time of the rec- ommendation. But Mr. Roosevelt declares the recommendation wus | made, and that he turned it down because Mr. Penrose was a boss of the kind be disapproved.

Mr. Roosevelt has known all and at one time or another worked with all, the republican bosses, big or lit- tle, of his day. He was always for them while they were for him. He has been served at one time or an- other by all.

A Use for Napkin Rings. York Times.) It is understood that the National American Woman Suffrage associ: tion takes just pride in the oppor- tunity it has afforded to its members to dispose of their superfluous napkin | rings, which is to say all the napkin | rings they possess.

And in London, Paris and Eerlin the face that made his fortune street crowds cheered him as enthusiastically dur- ing his visits to those cities as his own townspeople have done in New York John Bunny was one of the best | known figures in the moving-picture world. With his power or facial ex- breesion capable of depicting every known shade of comedy and mock- tragedy, he was a genuine benefactor to humanity. Many a tired mind has been relieved by his flashes of humor, | and it is humor of a kind that appeals | to all nations, classes and ages, Tt will | continue to make the world a pleas- anter place in which to live, as long as ! the reels, on which his unique per- sonality is depicted, -continue to be shown, Was it a chance word that turned John Bunny toward his receptive public? As a clerk in a store he did not start life very auspiciously, and his first request for a raise of pay brought only a reprimand. “You are Ltnnd for nothing,” said his employer, "hut making faces and talking loud, | }mx ought to go on the stage.” With- in a few weeks John Bunny com- menced the career in which he was tc learn how well worth while making faces could be. A Personality of the Movies. (New Haven Register.) There is real sorrow real and wide- spread, at the news that John Bunny has succumbed to his serfous iliness. Ferhaps with a few there will be min- gled with a sorrow a little of re- morse, for the relentless public de- mand for ‘‘more Bunny" probably caused the overwork that hastened his end. Moreover, with the thoughtful thiere will be a real regret that the sun of such a personality as his should early set. The darkness that follows i a real loss to the world’s stock of sood humor, If John Bunny was so0 potent a per- sonality in lifeless moving pictures think what his living presence must have been. His instance suggests what is the strongest hold of the mov- ing pictures. It's easy to talk about the educational value of the moving pictures, of the wonders of sctence and history which it can reveal, but it wouldn't last long if he didn’t have a human hold! The ‘““fans' soon learn their favorites, and they demand to see them. Bunny was one of the best of them, and he will be missed. The promoters of the movie game know full well that they must find favorities like him, or their prosperity will be limited. John Bunny, (Hartford Post.) Seldom has the death of ag actor brought the universal regret that came with the announcement yester- day that John Bunny was dead at his hoeme in Brooklyn., The late film star —or his face—was probably known te more persons than any other per- former in the world. He made mil- lions smile and laugh by his antics | and his appearance in a picture al- | ways radiated sunshine. Binny's place in the film world will be a difficult one to flll. There was no other actor just like him and it is doubtfu] if we ever see a man who can be correctly called his suc- cessor. Times and the Man, (Waterbury American.) It has been said of John Bunny that he possessed the best known face in the world. Certainly more people will feel a personal, sorrowful inter- est in his death than would be s.miliarly affected by the death of any Gther human being. The London Saturday Review once When Bunny laughs, people from San anscio to Stepney Green laugh with him When Mr. Bunny frowns, every kingdom on the earth is contracted in one brow of woe, When he =mells a piece of Gorgonzola cheese there is no doubt whatever that his nose has been seriously offend- ed. His despair in incredible, His grief is unendurable. His wrath is apoplectic His terror is the panic of a whole army Yet, had John Bunny fifteen years earller he cied an obscure. if excellent portrayer roles upon the legitimate stage and few except his immediate f:iends would have known or cared. been born John Bunny.
