THE PASSING SHOW
VILLA GATHER

Then back to ancient France again,
When Anjou's banner was unfurled.
When life was epic still, and men
Lived all the love songs Of the world.
The Seine divides Old Paris still,
And half is yours and half Is mine;
There, whip in hand, at every inn,
Spurred chevaliers still quaff their wine.
The old chateau from ruins rise,
And queens tonight are born anew,
Brought radiant back from shadow land,
To smile tonight for me and you.
And gallants gay, with powdered hair,
Shall lead them in the stately dance,
And all those hearts shall beat again,
Those sad, glad hearts Of Olden France!
Lift high the cup Of Old Romance,
And let Us drain II to the lees;
Forgotten be the lies Of life,
For these are its realities! W.

Richard Cookers reply to the Mazet
committee that of course he was loyal
to his "frcnds' and rewarded them,

mind the meaning Of friend" i'm poll
tics. OfcOurSe, political friend does
not mean anyone who Is COngenial
and en- jOyable, somebody who takes an
interest, unselflsh and unrewardful,
in his friends welfare. Richard
Croker's idea of friends are men with
no ideas or principles of their own,
who will do his will, whatever that
involves, on election day and before it,
with the understanding that If the
Tammany candidates are elected the
friends are to be rewarded with an
office, involving some service to the
people and for which the people pay.
The friends fitness to perform the
duties has nothing to do with the
question. Mr.. Cookers position and
definition of il is simple enough, and
he frankly admits that he is the Tam.
many leader, and when Tammany is
successful at the polls he devides the
offices as he sees fit among his friends
and the people have nothing to say
about it. And yet Mr.. Bryan quotes
the Declaration of Independence and
the Oratorical sentence about the con-
sent Of the governed, as though that

be applied TO the Filippinos.

laboring under the disadvantage Of an
ingeniously bad translation, the actor
is astonishingly brilliant.

when "Cyrano" drives him from the

it is picturesque. Later Cyrano fights

The most notable effects the actor &C.
