that the Republicans lost many

One thing that keeps young
men down is their fear of work.
They aim to find genteel occups-
tions, so they can dress well, and
not soil their clothes. and handle
things with. the tips Of their fin
gers. They do not like to get
their shoulders under the wheel,
and they prefer to give orders to
others, or figure as masters and
let some one else do the drudgery.
There is no doubt that Incidence
and laziness are the chief obstacles
to success.
When we see a boy. who has
just secured position, take hold
of everything with both hands,
and Jump right into his work, :"
as il he meant to succeed, we have
confidence that he will prosper
But, if he stands around, and asks
questions, when told to do any
thing; if he tells you that this or
that belongs to some other boy 10
do, for it is not his work; if he
does not try to carry out his
orders in the correct way; if he
wants a Thousand explanations,
when asked to run an GRAND, and
makes his employer think that he
could have done the whole thing
himself-one feels like discharg.
ing suchs boy on the spot, for he
is convinced that he was not cut
out for success. That boy will be
CURSED with mediocrity. or will be
a failure. There is no place in
this century for a lazy man. He
will be pushed to the wall.

women turn out on election day
and vote for members of the Board

permitted to vote in the same bal

Tuesday Syracuse man came be-
fore the Board of Elections with a
bill for making two ballot boxes
for the school election, which is
now held on the same day as the
general election, one for the men
and the other for the women.
Squire Gold, the wag of the cleo
ton board, wanted to know if il
would not be best to have three
boxes hereafter, so that the mar
ried women could vote separately
from the single ones.

Mary Manamerimg.

Playwright Clyde Fitch has built so
many plays, writing parts that fit
the personality of certain stars, that
it is no surprise to see the way he
has provided for Mary Mannering.
In "The Stubbornness OF Geraldine"
Miss Mannering has much better
role than Janice Meredith" in which
the charming young English actress
made her first starring venture UNI
der the management of Frank Mckee.
The play itself Is typical Fitch
product, in that 1t treats of the
( smart set. and 1t abounds in the
bright society chatter which this
playwright has made almost exclus-
lively his own.
The play hinges on a somewhat
well worn plot, that of a titled for
eigner falling in love with an Ameri-
can heiress. but In this case the titled
foreigner is the hero instead of the
villain. and Geraldine's stubbornness
consists in returning his love, despite
the protests of her friends. who be-
lieve the Hungarian count is merely
ambitious to secure the young wom-
ans wealth.
Although essentially society
| comedy, the character of Geraldine
gives Miss Mannering some fine OPP
portunities for dramatic acting and
| it is needless to say she rises to the
| occasion. That the audience appreci-
ated her acting last night was shown
, by the repeated curtain calls at the
close of each act.
Unlike a great many plays written
especially for stars. Miss MannerinG
is not the only one given an oppor-
| tunity.
Arthur Byron. who began his stage
career with his father. Oliver Doud
Byron. not so many years ago, makes
decided hit in the difficult character
| of Count Carlos Kinsey. Mr.. Byrons
artistic work in the support of Johr
Drew had prepared his admirers fol
better things so his polished inter
probation Of the foreign count is
gratifying
John G. Saville and that fine old
actress. Mrs. Thomas Within. as Mr.
and Mrs Wrighton. Geraldine's social
| advisors. are all that could be de-
sired. and H.. Hassard Short as ar
awkward Englishman and Miss Anr
Archer as an up-to-date American
girl furnish plenty of comedy.
The play is handsomely staged and
costumed and last nights audience
was large and appreciative.

Want Children
Given Half Fares

Members of the city council have
been approached by prominent citi-
zens- who are requesting that an ordi-
nance be passed requiring all street
car companies to haul school children
at half fare during the entire year
the conditions being that no COM
pany shall be given a franchise until
it agrees to comply with the ordi-
nance.
This idea originated with ex-Mayor
P. s. Byrne. who advocated 1t during
the recent mayoralty race. Other
people have seen the wisdom of such
an undertaking and have Interested
the councilmen in 1t.
Under existing conditions children
are hauled for half fare between the
hours of : a. m. and 6 p. m. on school
days only. The result Is that parents
have to pay full fare for the young
sters who came down town on Sat
urdays and who attend church and
Sunday school on Sabbaths.
