Written for The Evening Star.
The Hungarians on the East Side of New
York are lordlng it over the other foreign
ers III that cosmopolitan district just at
present They have always considered
themselves far superior to the Italians, the
Russian Jews the Poles. the Greeks ana the
other alien races with whom they dwell
side by side. This feeling is fully recip-
rocatcd: all the immigrants. however glad
they may have been to leave their own
country have yet n strong national feeling
which they are apt to manifest by shower
ing contempt on other aliens.
But at present it is not merely on gem
eral principles that the Hungarians think
themselves the salt of the East Side. They
hove a special reason. President Roose-
Welt has promised to dine with three or
four hundred of them in one of their own
restaurants in the heart of the Hungarian
quarter which centers around East Hous-
ton street and ID avenue.
The dinner is to take place on St Val
entine's day. and it will be one of the most
curious and interesting banquets during the
Presidents administration. a host of no.
tables has been invited. including NiVe
President Fairbanks, all the cabinet OFF,
GERS he governor OF New York state, Sem
ator Plat. Senator Depew and Ex-Governor
Ode1l. These great men will be entertained
by the Hungarian Republican Club, which
is composed almost entirely of Hungar1ans
who are not very well blessed with this
worlds goods Only three or four of the
members of the club are wealthy; the
others are keep small shops, run little res
taurants. import goods in small quantities
FOR their compartriOts or work for small
wage. 1t is even said that several of the
men who will be the Presidents hosts are
walters by profession, and that they have
waited upon some of the great men with
whom they will sit at table.
A Democratic Function.
Whether this is so or not. it is at least
certain that the dinner will be remark
ably democratic function. There is no
other country in which such a dinner would
b. p, ssible or even conceivable. Not even
in France would the head of the republic
and his cabinet consent to be entertained
Ny the butcher the baker and the candle
stick maker.
President Roosevelt has always been on
friendly and intimate terms with the Hun
Ssrians of New York city. When he was
police commissioner he frequently attended
their dinners and social meetings, delivered
tiyated an acquaintance with many of their
leading men. He got into the habit of din
ing at Little Hungary the restaurant at
which the St. Valentines day banquet is
to be held. He used to go there every
Friday night in company with Colonel
Waring, who was at that time in charge
OF the street cleaning department of New

1t may be that wireless will enter almost
every sphere of human activity. In rail-
reading there will be small excuse for col
lisions when an engineer can be overtaken
between stations, or when he can hear
from fellow engineer on the same track
long before the fatal curve is reached. AL

made automatic by therrnostatically con-

has occupied various positions in the service

will be one Of the hosts of the President on

theatre Is d place Of business: that the
chief purposes. OF a play, certainly OH
the part Of the owners Of the theatre,
Is to make money aud not to promote
morals and religion We fear That TINT
is true also In more or less degree Of
the play writer's. at bcsts those who hear
the sermon which the actor breaches must
pay the price Of admission. Again, the
actors themselves are not noted for their
r.ety. indeed, many Of them nro noto-
ricusly immoral and It Is hard even for
actors successfully to preach thnt which
they themselves do not practice.
But In spite Of these Limitations and
qualifications there Is no dotibt that
many lessons, both intellectual and moral,
may be learned. nnd nre learned. from
good plays. Just as such lessons may be
learned, and are lcafhed from # good
books. and 1t has long been Il question
with us whether the church does not make
n mistake to turn Its back upon the play
houses and let them go their own way.
There arc two sides to the question.
The theatre may IL left without restrain
Ing Influences, become vicious and hurtful
ia morals, and we fear that Is Its ten
dency. 1t is quito certain that many of
the latter day plays arc demoinlizing and
totally UNIT for men md women of good
morals to sec. On the other hand, the
stage may be made n great moral force
II would be a hopeless tack, we fear, TO
get managers of theatres to discard Il
drawing attraction OF doubtful morals
ana substitute n less popular play of
better character, for the average theatre
cal manager is after the money, and
gives the people what they are willing
to pay for. But FOR all that, we believe
that the church can do much, to i'm
prove the moral tone of the theatre, and
it is surprising to us that It pays so
little attention to this Important sub
