"THB LION AND THE MOUSSE"


 Charles Klein's play, The Lion anl the Mouse" one of the most talked of dramatic attractions of the day, will be presented by Henry B. Harris at the New Haven theater on Thursday and Friday, and Saturday, April 25, 26 and 27, with matinee Saturday.
 Mir Klein is the first playwright to perceive the splendid dramatic possibil- ities centering about the money king In Ready Money" Ryder, the dominant figure of "The Lion and the Mouse, " he pictures the financial magnate as his associate knew him. His brusquere, his power his little vanities, his hu- manizing touch of sentiment. Against this character, he arrays fine type of American womanhood, justly aroused by the humiliation placed upon her fa-' ther by this man of money and his CO., terie of corrupt politicians. With fine ingenuity, he introduces the love story of this, girl, coupled with the son of her enemy. The complications that thus arise give occasion for some of the most effective and dramatic situations that have been on the stage in recent years.
 The play will be presented here by the original cast, which appeared at the Lyceum thater, New York, for nineteen consecutive months, and which in- cludes Edmund Breese, Grace Elliston, Marguerite St. John, William Levers, Marion Pollock Johnson, Frazer Coul- ter, Reginald Darlington, E. A. Eberle, Walter Allen Gertrude Barrett, Charles Sturgis, w. H. Mcdonald and Julia Hanchet.

The Housing Problem.

Both in purpose and in personnel the new
ly created housing commission promises an
accomplishment of great benefit to the Dis
trict of Columbia. No more serious prob
lem exists today in this community than
the Improvement OF the living conditions of
the poor. and the matter has been a sub
ject of earnest discussion and energetic en-
deavors by both officials and citizens for
some years. The Commissioners have gone
as far as their legal authority permitted.
and have urged upon Congress the enact
ment of broader legislation to cover all
phases of the tenement and alley house

menace the moral and physical health of
these that, acting upon the recommended
ton OF Mr.. Reynolds of the Department of
Commerce and Labor a specialist In 'socIo-
logical matters. President Roosevelt has
now designated fifteen Washingtouians in
Guiding Mr.. Reynolds, to undertake a
sweeping investigation.
Washington should have a model system
of homes for the poorer classes. sanitary
and decent in all respects, well lighted and
aired and safeguarded by rigorous and
well-executed sanitary regulations against
the growth of unwholesome surroundings.
Neglected for many years. this question
now assumes an Importance second to none
In the range of local matters. If the dis
ease-breeding shacks in the alleys and
minor streets can be cleared away and re-
placed by decent quarters, with water and
sewer connections. great gain will be
made in the fight against all forms of dis
ease in this city. Moral conditions will In
evitably improve If the physical surround
ings of the ignorant classes of the people
are bettered. There are opportunities for a
permanent uplift in the general condition

rably as models. besides affording the poor
an opportunity to live decently as well as
cheaply. In its broadly representative
capacity the commission commands conf

ton all the various elements of this COM
pick situation.
1t Is to be borne in mind in this connec
ton that the local authorities have been
fully awake to the Importance of this ques-
ton. For fully twenty-five years there has
been a steady advance. slow at times but
none the less persistent. toward the better

The Ohio Situation.

The Ohio atmosphere is clearing. At the
start 1t looked as if the conflict between
the Taft and the Foraker forces would
come this year. complicating matters as re-
spects the local elections, and injuring the
prospects of republican success. But. after
reflection many of the influential party man
ayers have pronounced against the plan. They
advise that the local issues be disposed Of
first at the appointed time next Novem-
Der, leaving the field clear for the settle
ment of the national question early next
year. The advice Is so good 1t should be
taken: and probably 1t will be.
There are other divisions among the Ohio
republicans than those growing out of this
favorite son presidential business. and they
must be healed If the party is to win next
fall. Whatever the feeling may be as re-
spects Taft or Foraker for national leader,
both Taft and Foraker men must pull to-
gether for this years local tickets or the
democrats will triumph. Can they and will
they pull together for that? If so, some
Of the asperities attaching to the larger
question may be softened. If not, IL Ohio
Is democratic in local matters as the re-
suit of republican chickering's. what will
instructions next year from the state for
either Taft or Foraker be worth? What
will republicans elsewhere say to the can
didacy of man whose state, so long re-
publican, has gone democratic on the eve
Of the national contest?
There is not a more attractive man In
the public eye today than Judge Taft. He
has all the qualities that go with leader
ship. and undoubtedly would make an ex-
cellent President AS one who has helped
shape and believes in the Roosevelt poll
cies, he would be their protector in the
White House, besides advancing ideas of
his own which 1t would be to the country's
advantage to follow.
OF Mr.. Foraker 1t may as truthfully be
said that he is one Of the strongest men
his party contains. and probably its most
accomplished and effective debater In the
chamber. the Ohio senator was yet relied
upon in times Of the greatest storm and
stress for much of his partys most i'm
portant work. With Mr.. SpoOner out Of
the chamber, could Mr.. Foraker well be
spared? Would Mr.. Burton, or anybody
else in Ohio. be able to fill his place?
When everything Is considered, this
whole Buckeye business seems to be
blunder, which, in politics as in war, Is
worse than crime. AS to the respon-
sibility, opinions differ. But that question
may be postponed. The question for the
Ohio republicans now to consider is the
safety Of this years local tickets. II they
are lost through divisions. then the re-
sponsble parties will have something
grave indeed to answer for.
