MAJESTIC.
Rose Cecilia Shay in 'Paul Jones'"

Rose Cecilia Shay in the title role Of
the light comic opera. Paul Jones'
which is the Offering this week at the
Majestic Theater. sung herself into the
he arts Of two Of the largest audiences
yesterday seen at thar playhouse this
season She has an excellent stage ap-
pearance and a voice of more than or
binary range and volume, and early in
the first act captured the audience BY
her rendition OF ''Drea ming" which, IN
response to hearty applause. she re-
peated more than once
The second act opened with Coy
Corner, a swing song which was sung
in splendid style and voice by Miss Ash
ford. assisted by a chorus OF eight
voices In this act Eulalia Young made
a hit with her song. Are You Married
Man. or Are You Single2''
The comedy parts OF the performances
are intrusted to Hallem MoStyn and

The ladies Of the Senate. it is told
with some circumstance. are now in
teresting themselves in the Smoot case.
They don't assume to answer the con-
stitutional questions or 10 explain away
the presidents; but they are against the
Mormon Senator. and are overlooking no
opportunity TO make the men OF the
Senate understand their views. A quiet
but effective lobby is being engineered
by wives of some of the Senators, It is
said. and. il has no friendly sentiments
toward Smoot. The ladies aren't so par
ticular whether the thing is done reg
ularly and with regard TO all the pro-
prieties as they are insistent that no
Mormon apostle shall sit in the SEN
ate. The case. in this light, certainly
looks darker for the Utah man than IL
did in earlier stages.

Old Age Pensions in Boston,

Consideration for employees grown
old in the harness and the business
they are employed to serve mas
awakened more communities than
Washington alone to the need for
rewardinG long and faithful service.
In Boston. it seems. the problem is
being discussed far enough TO reach
the white wings who keep the hub
Juxtaposed to heaven. The Journal
of that city states the situation thus
and every word of the statement is
worth attention from Washington
ians:
Theoretically, Mayor Fitzgerald
project for pension system for city
employees is ideal All men who nave
shaved for the city. the county the
commonwealth. or Uncle Sam, snosld
De retired at certain age and allowed
10 rest from their arduous labors.
There are those, of course, who in
sist that city employees do not labor
as hard, as long. or as rackingly as
other men drawing equal wages, but
that Is neither here nor there. When
the city sets an example. private en-
ployers of labor are supposed TO fol-
low. and old age pensions will be the
rule. But IL may be believed that the
system viii not go into general opera
ton Immediately.
One obstacle, as far as the city OF
Boston is concerned, is the plain fact
that the average old man in municipal
employment works harder and more
effectively than the average young
man. Those who have watched the
citys laborerS upon the streets need
not be told that the most work is
done by men who have grown old in
the service and who are still willing
and able to work. The young man
must be boss. II he can't be boss he
must talk politics with some other
young man while the elder swings the
pick
OF course the very aged and the
very feeble old men in city employ
are burden upon the taxpayers.
But TO match every one OF these there
is the inevitable young ward heeler
who is toe strong TO work and who
is carried upon the payrolls because
Of his pull. Shall the number Of the
latter be increased by law?
