A WARMING to Old Men.

what do you think of an old fell
low of So having three fine women in
love with him at the same time.
Il think 1t is absurd"
We'll, / think so too, but then you
and |, thank fortune, are young. And
when Henry James was young he
agreed with us. When, in his youth,
Henry James was writing Daisy Mil
ler and The Portrait of a Lady he
didn't have his fine women falling in
love with some old grandfather. and
he didn't take old grandfathers for his
heroes.
But he does so now. In his Am
bassadors,' there are three women in
love with the fascinating Strether, and
two of them propose. Yet iStrether is
80.
James, you see, was a little over SIS
when he wrote that book, and he there
fore believed that man of that age
could inspire passionate love in wo-
mans heart. When James is so, he will
be writing about 77-year-old heroes,
who inspire passionate love in the
hearts of the most beautiful women.
"This is a sad commentary on human
nature-that we never grow too old to
think we can still love and be loved.
Writers unconsciously prove this COM
mentary The older they grow, the
older they make their fascinating
heroes.
Marion Crawford and all the old
hands now write books wherein the
lady-killers far and away the most
successful are invariably 60 or So
that is to say, about the authors own
age"

Georoa Ada a. a Critic.

George AIDE, the writer has been
down in Washington trying to get
congress to pass law which will put
a tax on every man, woman and child
in the United States who buys phon-
ograph record for the benefit of the
composer of the music. Now, the
supreme court has just declared that
these photograph records, music box
sheets and the like are not within the
copyright law. Manufacturers in
this as we'll as other countries have
always had the right to make these
various mechanical records and in fact
it has been pretty clearly demonstrated
that composers are usually anxious to
have them do so in order to boom
their sheet music.
AIDE has recently come out in a
newspaper interview which has been
reprinted generally turnout the coun-
try in which he says:
"You have no idea Of this phono-
graph business. Out thru the corn-belt
every family has graphophone or
monograph. The farmer comes in at
night, takes off his boots, hangs his
feet on the stove and says: Boys. turn
her loose.' The boys turn her loose
and the burned thing plays the whole
evening"
AIDE thinks the farmers shouldn't
have the right to do this without pay

The reporter repeated what he had

obeyed.
Just then Senator Dolliver of Iowa
came along.

eAs-ELEcTRIc CAR o. X.
New Vehicle Makes Run in Good Time
AGAINST Obstacles.

Philadelphia, April 6.-Guests who
participated in a test run of a new
method of transportation were thor
oughly satisfied when the palace car
Irene of the Strang Electric COM
pany rolled into Broad street station
here, having come via the Pennsyl-
vania railroad from New York. Leav-
ing Jersey City at 1928 three stops were
made en- route, at Trenton, North Phil
adelp1ia and West Philadelphia, be-
fore reaching Broad street, where the
car arrived at 1921, having taken one
hour ard fifty-five minutes to make the
trip Starting in a dense fog, which
interfered with signals, the car, which
was running alone, trailed behind one
of the Pennsylvaniats two-llour trains
all the way over. which prevented any
very fast time. There were about
seventy passengers on the car.

mention the fact that folks who live in
the big. cities have the opportunity to
go to concerts and other forms OF
entertainment every day and night and
from these the composers get nothing.

changed propose to taxi the farmers.
every mothers son of them, If they
want to use the much abused phono-
graph which brings little variety en-
tertainment to the home during the
long evenings and helps make the dull
monotony of the farm life more
bearable.
Well, we wonder what the members
of congress are going to do about 1t?
Our guess is that when it comes to
vote the farmer and his photograph
will win out and that out in the farm
houses of Dakota and the mining
camps Of Nevada, leagues distant from
any spot which an orchestra will ever
visit, these modern entertainers will
continue to brighten the lives OF those
not so fortunate as their city cousins.

Riddles His Way Across Atlantic.

New York,-.Henry Berchman has
reached here from Europe on the
strains Of his violin and the liner
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. In other
words, he fiddIed his passage across
the Atlantic
Berchman, who is IL years old, was
sent abroad three years ago to study
the violin. His father sent him a remit
lance to come home on the Kaiser, but
the money went astray, and the boy,
knowing his parents would expect him
home on the liner, boarded it at Bre-
men.
After the ship was away from port
the lad, carrying his violin, made his
presence known. He explained to the
officers that his father would pay his
fare on his arrival, but if that was not
satisfactory he would like to work his
way over by fiddling.
Permission was given him to play,
and so as a sort of official fiddler he
came across free.

possible, in the view of the majority
of the judiciary committee, to put all

may be assisted in some measure. Once
bill on the subject gets on the sem
ate calendar, it will open up lively
debate regardless of the first convic-
ton of constitutional lawyers adverse
to the contentious Of the radical pro-
hibition senators.
Representative Carter of Oklahoma.
has in mind that municipal coal mines
and asphalt workings might be good
plan in his state. Oklahoma Away
was a progressive country. Its new
constitution is broad enough to permit
cities running coal mines, If they want
to do so; the coal is there; nobody is
working it. in many cases; and so Mr..
Carter has introduced a bill to permit
the secretary of the treasury to sell to
any county or city in the state, from
the unallotted coal or asphalt lands
of the Five Civilized Tribes, such area
as he may deem fitting, at prices to be
agreed upon.
The makers Of the Oklahoma con-
stitution had these things seriously In
mind They couldn't see why town
shouldn't operate a coal mine, as we'll
as a water plant or an electric light
system. Coal is just about as neces-
sary as light or water If the coal is
there, and the town needs it, why not:
Anyhow, Mr.. Carter has introduced
the bill. and there are some enterpris-
ing towns in Oklahoma that are ready
to try the experiment if the measure
becomes law. Municipal ownership OF
all sorts of things has been tried In
various parts Of the world; but 1t is
believed Oklahoma has reserved tho
distinction of being the first commune
ty seriously to propose municipal coal
mines. Mr. Carter thinks the bill is
good thing, and proposes to push II
vigorously. He points out. for one
thing, that it would be sure way to
prevent any coal trust getting control
of the fuel supply Of the new state

Premier Resigns and Asquith May Sue
coed Him.

London, April 6.-Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman the premier of Eng
land, has rendered his resignation to

it.
Herbert Henry Asquith, chancellor
of the exchequer, probably Will sue
coed Sir Henry as leader OF the gov

summoned to Biarritz. where the king
is wintering, for conference.
III health, combined with advanc-
ing age, was the cause of Campbell
Bannerman's request that he be al
lowed to drop the burden of guiding
England's welfare. The retiring prem
Ter is NOW 70 years of age and has
been in poor condition. having been
forced to practically suspend active
operations in the governments az
fairs for several months past.
1t is not thought there will be any
serious change in the policies OF the
government. Both the retiring prem
Ter and the man who is to succeed him
are liberalists, the coming leader hav-
ing been pupil and understudy OF the
elder man. The chancellor, who has
been acting premier during Sir Hen
rvs illness. called a meeting of the
cabinet to submit the premier's resig-
nation and discuss the course OF bus
mess.
The resignation of Sir Henry Camp

minister of England since Lord Rose
berry gave up office in 1895, has its dra-
matte phase, for as he passes from the
stage. the mixed forces which he held
together as a party appear also to be
approaching the end of political power.

employers wanted to know their ages.
The trouble arose over the promotion
of three young operators to be inspec-

not to work under the three girls
named.
Their committee waited on the firm
and presented an ultimatum. The en-
ployers considered their protest and
told the committee to have the en-
ployes submit their ages and they
would pick out the three oldest for in
spectors.
The committee reported, but one
half of the women positively refused to
give their ages, and a strike followed.

skins are sold in London at prices ranging from

the cloaks of royalty, as it is the only fur to
which gold will cling. The farm containing so
