 1 Wednesday, May 23, was suggested i and named as the date for this year's s annual public donation day, subject, however, to change by the above-named 1 executive committee and by the ladies of the board of managers of the Home for the Friendless Owing to the ina bility of the officers named above to de- vote as much time as usual this year to the preparations of the homes public donation visit, the donation day could 1 pnt ha fyad definitely

TRACK MEN WILL GO HOME

Will Not Stay Here During Easter ya-
 cation.
 This year an innovation has been in- troduced in that no track team candi- dates will be requested to remain in New Haven during the Easter vaca- tino. In former years it has been the custom to retain the more promising candidates and to organize the training table before Easter. This year, howev- CT, 1t will not be necessary for any can- didates to remain, although if any so desire the same opportunity for prac- tice will be possible as during the term Trainer Mack and the regular rubbers will assist any candidates, and abundant opportunity for development will be given.
 Training table will organize on Tues day, April II.

 In Texas" the comedy drama. Broadhurst. & Currie have a find, for since it's initial opening at the Four teenth Street theater in New York two years ago, where it had a prosperous run of many weeks, 1t has met with nothing but success It comes to tho New Haven theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, April F. IS, and A. There will be holiday matinee Fri day and regular matinee Saturday
 James O'Donnell Bennett in the Chi cago Record Herald of october 3, says, Texas Is the best play seen at the Great Northern theater in the past two years" and Walter Scott, writing for the New York Associated Press, says, Texas is the best play that has been seen in this town for many a day." and even Alan Dale says, If you want to see a real exposition of life in the southwest, go and see J, Maudlin Feigls play, Texas.
 Texas" is not blood curdling tale such, as its title might indicate, but a prettily told story of Texan life, with love and pathos, its desperation and excitement and it's homely beauty Each character Is brought out so vivid ly as to impress upon the mind of a watcher the deeper nature of man and woman. Texas is 6 story of a love plot, different from the ordinary love story of a play. It is realistic in every detail.

ANTT-BRIBERY

Just now, as the result of Mr..
Robert G.. Houston's so-called
anti bribery pledge, there is a
great amount of talk in the news
papers about taking the pledge.
Giving Mr.. Houston all the credit
that is due him, we fail to see the
force of the pledge, when taken
by such men as those whose
names are printed as the signers.
Our understanding of the neces-
sity for taking the pledge, is that
those who have been guilty of
the offense which it is desired to
correct, or those who fear that
they might be persuaded to in
dulge in that offense, arrive at a
condition of mind where they be-
lieye that the public acknoWl-
edgement of wrong done or con-
templated and promise to ab-
stain therefrom may help them
in carrying out their intention.
THE TRANSCRIPT has always OPP.
posed bribery, whenever and by
whomsoever committed. We have
never condoned it. The Repnb-
lican Party has always taken the
same position. There is no good
reason why either we or the Re
publican Party should publicly
announce, as a new feature, the
fact There may be, and prob
ably is reason, why the Demo
cratic Party as an organization
should come over to the side of
good government in this as well
as other particulars. Surely,
there is room for great improve
ment in respect to the actual buy
ing of votes and other forms of
bribery.
