lofty TOITY IS
A CATCHY SHOW

The American Travesty Stars
PLAYED to a house that was packed
last night. 1t was a house that went
to be pleased, and enjoyed the per-
Torrance immensely.
The program said the title OF the
entertainment was "EIoity Toity,
and the show had not gone Jar, be
fore everybody believed it. There
isn't much continuity in the play
and the only plot is one in which
the actors are all concerned 10
make the audience laugh, which
they do. In a general way there is
the idea running through the whole
entertainment that Lady CRATER
keeps up a swell establishment for
! the purpose of Turing moneyed
Americans and other innocents
there to be robbed al poker or
bridge whist. Several of the inno-
cents are introduced. The ininit-
able Dill, Kolb, and Barney Bcr-
nard, as the three "Ditchmcn,
were among them. The conspiracy
of Kolb and Bernard to get Dill to
start a bank, and then their prac-
teal instructions regarding its man
agement, are ridiculous beyond
conception from a realistic point OF
view, and vet the whole dialogue
was SO evidently designed by some
one who knew the subject well, and
there is so much said that is both
exact and keen, that it is impossible
not to laugh and enjoy it. The
poker scene with Lady Crater, "
Maude Amber, has also the same
kind of touches of nature, that al
most give you hand in the game.
Goodall's King KazoO,' is deli
cious. And though the dialogue
depends largely on puns for its
point, the puns are SO good, and
seem to occur 50 naturally that one
cannot help enjoying it.
The choruses, and the dancing
are something worth while. The
dancers in the Travesty Stars are
object lessons Of the truth that re-
suits worth while are only obtained
at the expense OF effort. The dan
GERS don't spare themselves. There
is nothing lackadaisical about their
business. 1t is action from entrance
to exit. That's one of the things
that makes the show 50 good.

licking evening OF fun. Hoity Toi

TURRILL IS
FOR HEARST

Fred Turrill chairman of the Demo-
cratic Territorial Central Committee
has come out for William Randolph
Hearst. I believe" said Chairman
Turrill this afternoon that Hearst is
the strongest man that is now under
consideration for the presidential nom
nation by the Democratic Party. He
is the only man who has the slightest
chance of election. / do not regard
Parker as more than a stalking horse
and do not think that Parker win even
be nominated.
II am strongly impressed with the
ACCESSIBILITY Of nominating Hearst this
year, and l hope to see our delegation
from Hawaii supporting him as long
as there is the slightest chance for him
to receive the nomination.
whether nominated or not, Hearst
win have to be reckoned with by the
successful candidate. The influence Of
the Hearst papers is so great that
his support will have to be secured by
the party. He win therefore, be in a
position to dictate his terms with the
successful man who may have been
nominated over him, and 1t is safe to
| say, that those who supported him Will
not be left i'm the situation that or
dinarily might result where a delega-
ton had supported a losing candidate.

Alton B. Parker says the gold stand

does not say that his w personal be-

~irrevocably established. nor, Furthermore,
that he deemed the Democratic party
wrong, when in Congress, in 1890, it al
most to a man voted against the estab-

As the gold standard of value was
then ''irrevocably establislied,'' not by
the Democratic party, but by the Repub

the Democratic party can honestly claim
to have "irrevocably established" is the
gold standard Of silence on a subject on

pie, and to breed apprehension in bust

PuLITZER.s MISTAKE.

Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering of Democratic editors which
met and communed recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presidency,
but he wrote a letter. of which this was
the concluding paragrapn:
1t is because L so strongly desire Judge
Pafkers election that I speak so plainly on
this subject. | earnestly beg OF you when
that lie accept also the full responsibilities Of
his positions: that he will NOT permit the
campaign in New York the pivotal state
to be mismanaged by the snail politicians
who beset him.
"Beset!m "Beset," indeed. Little is
Alton 3. Parker 'besct'' by the small
politicians to whom Pulitzer alludes,
those who have, for years. been the vas
sails of David Bennett Hill or among
the operators for Tsmmany. Alton b.
Parker has been one of them himself.
Foxy political manager for Hill. who
repaid him by an appointment. and who,
in the present year., has repaid him fur
ther, he is not likely to be "beset' by his
own associates. Mr.. Pulitzer must be
wandering in his mind. 1t is upon those
from whom he wishes Mr.. Parker to dis
sociate himself that Mr.. Parker depends
for whatever vote he may get in New
York-Tammanyites and the Fill hench-
men.

paoeREss OF HUMANITY.

The ethical millennium is certainly
far away The progress of humanity
is rhythmical, not steadily continu-

trough of the sea. 1t may be that
thought has been turned to material
things, or maybe only 10 new con.

certainly humanity has not lost its
inspiration. No wrong appears but
that there are hands ready to right
it. no suffering but that there is zeal
for self-sacrifce in its relief, no prob
lem Of humanity but that unselfish
souls are at work for its solution. II

TREATMENT OF couvlcrs.

One of the curious phenomena Of
the present day is the agitation which
IS being conducted by life-term con-
victs for the virtual abolition Of life
Imprisonment, by providing that
those SO sentenced shall be liberated
after fixed number Of years Of good
conduct. There are doubtless some
life prisoners who are proper subjects
OF cicmency, but there is another
class whose members cannot be out

crime. The public safety demands
more and not less severity TO habitual
criminals, and there Is grave reason
