to remarkable demonstrations rCfuting
alleged charges Of cOllusion and secret
paneling on the part OF former cEal-
lenges. made by a well-known amateur
entertainer at one of the city theaters
last fall Some of the challenges are:
The lunatic's crib escape attempt. the
nailing-to-a-6ioOr sensation, the ladder
Of death suspension escape, the witches
plllCry confinement. the invincible pa
per- bag release, the iTOn-crate incar-
ceration, the mammoth football solid

ON THE OPEN ROAD.

Out to the JOY of the open road
Soon shall my feet be gone
Led by the dreams of the heart of voutj,
over the slopes of dawn.
Desert and valley and heights of snov-
Plains where the rivers run:
Jungles and steppes Of the frozen North
Islands that take the sun
Nautch girls dance in the silent noon
Sphinx of the world-old Nile:
Caravans crossing the traclkless waste
Pyramids pile on pile.
Italy, Greece, and the Caucasus
Persia and Hindostan:
/ shall see them all with the heart Of
the boy
Alive in the heart Of the man.
Glad with the love of the open road.
Free-hearted ! take my way.
Cities and men and life Of change
Shall welcome me day by day
Midnights shall pass with their starry
deeps.
Moons shall have come and gone:
While still from the gray OF the skies
before
Breaks the orient rose Of dawn.

Federation for Central America.

The merits of the Central Ameri-
can war are not very plain, but the
general impression that they are on
the>side of Nicaragua, and that that
country likewise possesses the heavy
battalions, seems to Justify the con-
clusion that President Zelaya is go
ing to win. The combination of
might plus right is apt to win. Add
to it that. the Nicaraguan govern
ment has the best foreign credit and
the most progressive population,
and it is not difficult to figure that
n new era may be impending in
Central America.
Central America is ripe for a new
Diaz. and to be that is the we'll
known ambition of Zelaya. He has
been a wise administrator, n pro
gressive statesman, a man of re-
markabIe sense in trying position.
If he ends this war with credit it is
very likely that he Will be for a
long time the overshadowing figure
in Central American affairs.
There is immense natural wealth
in that isthmian region. II will
never have the possibilities that
would have been realized had the
canal been built on the Nicaraguan
route; but none the less the region
Is certain soon or late to have a
great Development. With the splen-
did, stable, effective government of
Mexico on one side and the Ameri-
can administration of the canal zone
on the other, it is impossible that
anarchy shall much longer rule in
Central America. The present war
may very possibly result in selection
of the right man to reorg,Slize the
troublesome little group of repub-
lies into some sort of a federation.

sManteII IriuInDhs
In Role Of Lear:
ShUIoCk Excellent

Yesterday Robert ManteH gave added
proof of his already amply proved YER

fortunate enough TO see him in two of
the best Shakespt character
! studies that Washington has seen for
several seasons. IN the afternoon he
gave The Merchant OF Venice" a sue

he gave King Lear, TO my mind the
best thing he does.
Mantells ShylOck is new to Washing

Is new to the stage, so that 1t was nee
essary for the older members Of his
audience who had accumulated tradi-
tions TO adjust themselves to it before
they could begin to appreciate it. The
adjustment made the appreciation be-
came admiration. II is a new Shylock,
but good one; neither the dirty,
cringing, low-comedy type. nor the tot
tering image Of impotent. but venomous,
servility that one or another of our
stars Of past seasons has made familiar.
Mantelrs Shyiock is rather younger
than most, and, as TO makeup much
less hairy. The beard is short and
pointed, darlzly grizzled, but by no
means reasonably gray. The gray
streaked hair Is only moderately long,
and IL is thin on the crown. He is

What's the Matter
With Washington il?

To the Editor OF The Washington Times.
The only drawback to a Greater
Washington is the greedy avaricious-
ness Of many Of the owners OF real es-
tate IN the District of Columbia. There
are thousands who would gladly hustle
to double the population Of this lovely
city only they feel they would be max
ing rod for their own backs. Take.
for instance. the tenant Of the house
where 1 rOOm-the owner has not spent
$40 on il for repairs or improvements.
Now he has added SO monthly 10 the
rent-six Of US rOOmers have 20 pay
extra, and the tenant has 70 shoulder
81 more rent herself. while the owner. on
6 per cent basis. has added S2ol0 10 the
value Of his property. This Is a constant
occurrence. So why should we hustle? ?

The Amir'S Mistake.

II Is pretty story that comes
over from London to the effect that
the Amir of Afghanistan was so
much impressed with the beauty Of
the Duchess Of Manchester, who was
in Calcutta during the festivities in
that pOtentate's honor, that he
wanted 10 buy her for a wife, and
was Enthusiastically disgusted when
told that wife-selling was not the
custom in Western countries.
The trouble with the Amir was
that he approached the subject from
the wrong standpoint, which was
that of a rich man who wanted to
buy a wife. As a matter of fact. all
the recent history Of the world
tends to show that IL is the rich
woman that buys the husband.
Had the Amir lived in America for
the last ten or fifteen years, he
would have learned his lesson bet
ter. He would have seen that here
it is the lady of fortune who some
times looks abroad for a husband
whom she may purchase. Now and
then-sad 10 tell-this husband is a
useless member of society, not rare
ly jackass, and sometimes n scoun-
dreL But as rule he has a title of
more or less brilliance and an an
cestral seat more or less in need of
repairs. So he carefully weighs the

New Italy at Work.

Italy's growing content and new
financial independence are weE illus
trated by extensive plans for the
discovery and development of her
hidden art treasures. American at
tention has been so occupied with
distorted reports of her poverty and
OF paintings purchased for export
to the United States that il has
practically ignored these new prof
ects of the greatest Importance to
the worlds of art and science.
First, Italian opposition has be-
come so strong to the proposed in
ternational excavations at Hercu-
laneum that the government has de-
cided to undertake the work at its
own expense. There the remains
are those of a great city, instead of
summer resort, as at Pompeii, and
they have been preserved in far bet
ter condition because they were en-
cased in shell of brittle and dinty
lava, and not buried in dust. Such
digging as had already been done
has revealed dwellings and public
buildings of the most impressive
character. and uncovered art objects
Of the greatest interest. If Italy
shall complete the excavations in
Herculaneum both art and archie
ology will be gamers by most inn
pOrtant contributions.
But this is only a part of what
the Reuter- telegraph agency de-
scribes as very large program Of
archaeological research and orgari-
zation drawn up by the new minis
ter of public instruction, Prof.
Rava.' The well-knoygn Prof. Ricci
has been appointed director general
of antiquities and fine arts. A bill
has been presented for protecting
art treasures, with an initial fund
of about S1,Ooo,oOo for buying from
private owners. The appropriation
for general excavation has been
doubled. Work will be undertaken
at Ostia, the port of ancient Rome,
and at Paestum, where it is hoped
the Greek and Roman buildings
spoken of by historians will be
found. The houses surrounding the
baths of DioCletian will all be ex-
Propriated, and 81 100000 Will be
spent on the much discussed Archie
illogical Promenade in Rome. Then
/ the Forum, the Colosseum and other
buildings will appear to proper ad-
vantage.

Italy alone, win benefit bv this en-
terprise. Italy does well to make
her prosperity a boon to others as

Two Points of View.

The line l would draw lies between
impulses and reason. between hasty ac-
tion and sober judgment. between prac-
tice of politics and aim at statesmanShip
between too great heed of eXpediency
and too little observance Of principle.
between attempts 20 regulate human
destiny from before the cradle 10 after
tho grave. aud reliance upon natural
causes and the patriotic spirit Of Amer
lean citizens.
SO speaks Col. George Harvey. 1t
is the mildest portion of a bitter at
tack on the President. Like a few
other melancholy Americans he
thinks the Administration is using
the Constitution for Il target and
that we are all going to the demni-
tion bow vows.
We do not have to look far for the
answer The same day that brings
us the account of Col. Harvey's
speech gives us, on the exchange
table, this from the Chicago News:
BY taking advantage of his authority
IN the emergency (enlarging thirty for
-eSt reserves in Western States). the
President served the public well. Similar
executive action mas been taken in ref
9rence TO an important branch Of the
vast business Of the POstoffiCe Depart
ment.
The Congressional Conference Com
mittee killed a measure whereby seven
instead Of six would have been made the
divisor for getting the average daily
mail carried In a week by mail trains.
One Of Mr. COrtelyous last acts as
Postmaster General was to issue an order
under which the average daily mail will
be determined every fourth year by
weighing it all FOR three months and
thSn dividing the total by the actual
number Of days instead Of eliminating
all the Sundays. This will make an an
nual saving TO the Government of about
S5.000O0O.
If all administrative acts are as ra-
tional and fair as this one they viii be
approved.
In plain English, Colonel Harvey
hasn't a bit more regard for the
Constitution than Theodore Roose-
welt and the latter is giving us good
practical government in the bargain.
