PUT A PIN IN THE CONGRESS
SIGNAL CHAIR!

Is America another Portugal? Not
so that you can notice it.
Yet America has been either too poor
or too shiftless to dignity her repre-
sentatives to other nations. She is the
only one of the powers that cannot
appoint her best men to be her diplo-
matte representatives without regard
for their private purses.
An american Embassy Association
has beer organized to correct one phase
of this evil. Il would nave the United
States purchase legation buildings in
the capitals Of other nations. Perhaps
the movement viii get impetus from
this source. But if it shall it will be
because the influential but few gentle
men who are now members enlarge its
roster to include representatives in the
greater number Of Congressional dis
tricts,
Congressman must vote the money
for those legation buildings, and Con
gressmen don't jump at names; they
jump at votes.

this week.
For next week the management an
nounces a continuation Of the free per-
formances in the Airdome which, for
a change. will consist Of special mo-
ton pictures and illustrated songs, in

tertainment of great picture subjects,
never before seen in this vicinity, to
be enjoyed In the cool breeze-swept Air
dome, and without charge, viii prove
more than acceptable 10 the Park s
patrons On Sunday afternoon and
night the sacred band concerts will be

Band.

NO WONDER HE WOULDN'T
STAND FOR THE NEW GOWN!

Man in this country has watched
with increasing wonder the vagaries of
feminine fashions in recent years. He
has seen sleeves from the voluminous
appearance OF a bag of meal graduate
TO the skin-tight variety, and he has
noted, without batting an eye, hats
grow from pegtops to the contraption
which now hides all but the chin. He
spends his time peering under brims
to see who it is and walks about feel
ing like a chump when he discovers,
instead of a blooming, pretty face.
countenance that would stop a clock.
He has studied with an eye of a con
noisseur the rapid fire change in gowns,
only wondering whether the halt would
be called before the police stepped IN.
He sees some of his friends, whom he
never for a moment thought equal to 1t,
develop sylph-like forms, and he has TO
act as if he didn't note the difference.
But the worm will turn. IL has re-
NAMED for a man in Silesia to put his
foot down He has applied for a di-
vorce on the ground that his wife had
become intolerably thin in order to
accommodate herself to the new gown.
He set out to the court that he had
married a woman of good figure, of am
pie proportions; but that, adopting the
new cult, she had started to dieting
and had dwindled and pinned. Her rosy
complexion had become pale. Though
five feet ten inches tall, she weighed
but 1873 pounds. She played tennis three
hours a day, walked two hours, and
ate hardly enough to live on. In the
end she accomplished her ambition and
could wear the straightest gown a
modiste could put on her, but he con
tended that he had not married a
fashion mold, and urged that the mar
riage contract was violated by such
vagaTies.
The important point is that the Judge
agreed with him and thought a divorce
should be granted. Possibly this may
help the head of the family to control
the situation. If he doesn't, the ballet
at the theater must do something 20
pass muster. There are costumes to be
seen most any time that make the
stage dress look too prim to
be at all exciting.

ancillary proof, a feature of it being an
allotment of money from the company
treasury.
No defense was attempted. Only
technical points were made by Cal
houn's attorneys. He did not himself
take the stand, and no adequate state
ment was made to clear the trea sury
of the company of the faint which had

Those are unlmportant matters eon-
cerned with the great question. That is:
Was Patrick Calhoun party, either
directly or indirectly, to the bribery of
San Francisco officials?
The answer may be He was directly
guilty" and he may yet escape. That
has happened before But it has not
often happened before that American
newspapers have put their dislike of ;
prosecutors personality above the en-
forcement of justice. As far as those
have influence that is indeed
a sinister sign.

4 SINISTER SIGN AS TO UN

San. Francisco's failure so far 10

popular government. 1t is only a hollow
in the hill. The fight viii 60 on. II
these Higher Ups escape. their success
sors viii be caught. The inherent
honesty Of the American people must
eventually overcome its greatest enemy
And that enemy is not graft. It is in
difference.
But there is some ground for dis
couragoment in the attitude toward the
Calhoun trial taken by responsible and
apparently honest newspapers through
out the country. Here, for example. is
the Republican, of Denver. The Liter
airy Digest quotes it as thinking it
unlikely that another trial will be IN
dertaken, even as partisan expedient
preceding a political campaign" Con
slider, also, the Buffalo News, which, &C
eording to this same authority, regards
the result as not only a practical &C
quittal Of Patrick Calhoun but also
a 'rebuke to Heney's bulldozinq
methods" Papers in many places
throughout the West take similar
positions. Il is fair TO say that more
satisfaction has been expressed by
these publications because Heney has
failed than because Calhoun has not
been found guilty.
In other words: These newspapers do
not like Mr.. Heney. Wherefore. they
would rather see him lose than have It
determined clearly whether Mr.. Calhoun
is guilty OF innocent.
Now, the facts in the Calhoun case
were briefly these:
A valuable franchise was obtained
