i3 TERN ME'! ARE STICKERS 6o Says President Tnu in Speaking of Power of the East. ADDRESS BEFORE OHIO SOCIETY Atlantie Coast ‘States to Comtinul premacy of Over Western ¥ Service of Representatives in Comgress, WASHINGTON, April 1.—President Taft {n an. &ddress before the Ohlo soclety of Washiigton last night pointed out that the dominating power of the eastern states in congrean lles in the fact that they keep men in office when they place them there. He contrasted the influence of the east in legislative affairs with that of the west and attributed the supremacy of the former the contiduous service of legislative representatives. Why is It the small states of asked thie president, that the east exercise 80 much power in congress? It Is not because an eastern man has any more capacity in the matter of legislation than a western man. It is because when the eastern states get a good representative they keep him as long as he lives, influenge that vastly exceeds the mere numerial representation of population.

August nmm-. | Mina . r Bretin chard Tret Frederick McVane Butler Emma Ritynge .Blanche Walsh | Elanche Walsh is alwi worth while; she has depoted herself as persistently as any other one person on the stage td the drama of purpose, and while she has long | been associated with “that sort of woman," it has been no idly-drawn pleture of mere suffering und following remorse that she | has bean engaged in portraying. She has taken each of these as a problem, factors in a great problem, and has used | each as citations in support of her argu- | ment. She has argued for the woman, and argued ably and well—and who shall say she has not argued with more of suc- cess than the world has yet realized? In the present instance Miss Walsh has a play that is worthy of the care she has bestowed upon #: it may have some tech- | nical flaws, faults that appeal to the | hypereritical, but its subject is so vast and Ms treatment so impressive that the | Imperfections are covered by the finer | tabric of the interest generated by the | toreeful way in which the main question |is put. It is whether the woman is not ! to be given the same chance as the man; |1s_it fair to say to the one, “It's all right; | you have promised reform, and we will | trust you,” and to say to the other, “‘You | have sinned; and there s no hope for you.” | The story deals with the life of a girl | Bhe loved a young man, who was caught | stealing; his empioyer pramised to secure | his release it she would pay the price. She paid, and on the testimony of the employer he was sent' to prison, Ten years later the girl, now & woman, has a chance o wed a ‘man she really loves, |but finds his sister is about to become | the wife of the man who sent the young lover to prison after getting his pay for | assistance he never gave. ~The question for the woman is to accept the verdict of soclety that condemns her and allows the | man to go on, or to lay bare her heart and save an innocent girl. She tells the whole story and retires. The ending is a trifle conventional, but is well within rea- son. Miss Walsh bullds up the character very carefully; she seems something indifferent at the opening of the play, without hope, but clinging to her chance. As event *p\a along she develops the greatest of hope, then sees the apparent hopelesgness of her | case, sees her real reason for renunciation | mistnterpreted, till finally, moved by a still higher resolve, she g:ives up all that she {may be the means of doing some good | for the man she loves. - She succeeds, and | her exit at the end of the third act Is after one of the most effective climaxes | she ever has achieved. The quiet, recital of her story of wrong, In which she sticks to “brutal facts,” with no ef- | fort jat extenuation, seems. the very acmg | of bitter resolve; then comes the reaction, when she has drained her courage to the utmost, and is once more the woman, sob- bing, as she says, “I think 1 had bett go home!” This one little touch In itselr is fine, but is only one of a number of good chances that are well accepted. All through the action of the play her art ring true, Her results are certain, and she well deserves the pralse she has had for the best work she has eyer done. Each of the several parts {n the dramatis personnas is a chacacter, not & ‘“type.” Bach is vital to the play's action, and each |is humen in every aspect. And each fs George W.

Great arguments may be presented in epigrams, but the com- son range of mortals do not talk that way, and the people in this play are just men and women, dealing Wwith a matter that very closely touches each of them, and ' therefore have little or no time for the refinement of their speech. And in the talk of the play some mighty good lines are st forth. It ia well worth listening to.

LONDON, April 1—The official opposi- | tion amendment to Premler Asquith's reso- lutions on the veto power of the House of Lords was moved in the House of Commong today by Sir Robert Ballantyne Finlay. It declares in favor of a strong and efficlent second chamber and expresses willingness to consider proposals for the reform of the upper house, but declines to proceed with the government proposals, which would destroy the usefulness of any second cham- ber. Winston Spencer Churchill, the home secretary, made an important contribution to the debate. He declared that when the veto resolutions were disposed of they would advance with the budget, regardiess of the consequences. Unless the House of Commons carried the budget it was idle, he said, to look to the king or to the country to carry the veto bill, but he predicted t at the proper time and under the proper circumstances they would succeed in earrying both the veto and budget mees- ures to the steps of the throne, Premler Asquith's gutilotining motion, which Is published tonight. provides that the committee stage of all three veto reso- | lutions shall be concluded on the night of April 14, The government apparently has made up its mind to bring political matters to an | issue In May. In the House of Commons this afternoon Premier Asquith announced two test motions, the first to be made on April 4, allotting a specific perlod for tk discussion of the veto regulations, and, the second, designating the time to be given | to a consideration of the budget. The| opinion in the lobby today was that this arrangement portended a general rlecuon‘ within six weeks e DON'T FEED - THE OYSTERS | Thi A in the Order of Department of iculture to Traders as Means of Lessening Typhold.

The deal was made through Chicago partles, and is considered one of the largest real estate deals brought off in the middle west for some time. The blg farm has six sets of improvements and 1,200 acres of it has been in cultivation for many years. Mr. Malone expects to put on a big steam plow and by next year every acre of this great farm will be put to producing crops.
