FATHER AND BOYS"
IS WORTH SEEING

The production of Father and
the Boys" at the Auditorium last
evening was big success, and was
greeted by large and enthusiastic
audience. William II. Crane as
Lemual Norwood, a wool broker,
was at his best. His clever inter
probation of man of unusual ten
derness and deep love of his fellow
men and above all, man of keen
humor, was artistically played. His
love for his two pampered sons and
his uneaSiness for their welfare
leads him to abandon his staid
habits and cut loose" just to keep
with his boys. In this process
there are scores of intensely hu-
morous situations, in all of which
Crane upholds with his clever
knowledge of his part. He is a
man of small stature, the other
actors being fully head taller. Yet
his personality and magnetism
lends spice to the whole play.
Margaret Dale as Bessie Bray
ton, a girl from "Nevady," is eX-
cellent. She is clever, and plays q
clever role.
The play is a clever one, cleverly
acted. One lady remarked as she
left, I'D love to belong TO that
happy family"

percentage of % to call an election
for the purpose of removing an Of
fetal from office was preferable to
placing the percentage at 10 and
making signers appear before the
city clerk in order to qualify.
He uncovered the Joker which
has been slipped into the initiative
and referendum law by asking what
was meant by the words qualified
registered voters He wanted to
know why the word registered
had been inserted at this particular
place He said he had never seen it
used in this manner before.
1t was pointed out by some men,
bers of the committee who favor a
progressive charter that to leave
the word Registered" in the initia-
tive and referendum law would
make the law imperative nine
months in the year. and would to
all practical purposes take from
the people the rights they now en-
joy in this respect.
In the matter of declaring an
emergency he said the commission
should be compelled to vote unan-
imOusly on the question in order to
prevent railroading through the
commission legislation and the ap-
pration of money without giving
the public proper notice of such in
tcntinn.

citizens and taxpayers to examine
the procedure and the law as it at

eral statute law provides even IN
the largest cities of the world the
right of free speech, so long as no
anarchy or disrespect for the laws
of the land is preached or incul-

of all cities provide that if crowd
is collected the speaker must move
on so as not to Obstruct traffic on
the street or foot passengers on the
sidewalks. Until the speaker mas

Mr.. White bore out in every re-
spect the claims of some members
of the committee, more particularly
the labor representatives, that an
effort was being made to so draft
the direct legislation features of the
charter as to place the commission
in a position to defy the people If
it felt SO disposed, and to make it
independent of public sentiment
and dictatorial and reactionary. .,-sa,
There will undoubtedly be oppo-
sition to the charter in its present
form from the more progressive
voters of the city unless the
changes suggested by Mr.. White
are to be great extent complied
with.
Mr.. White also stated that he is
opposed to civil service in a com
mission form of government. He
said in reply to question by Coun-
Gilman Ostrander that the proposed

who attended the banquet at the
Hall of the Doges had fine time,
and went away convinced that the
International Typographical union
is in splendid shape, and that they
did wise to re-elect Lynch for a
third term.
Mr. Lynch's reference to the sit
uation as regards job plants was an
important feature of his address.
He said that the newspaper publish
ers' association was one of the
things that most contributed to the
success of the union, because he
could deal with 1t directly, and not
with countless individual papers.
In the same way he urged the for
nation of jobbers' association, so
that he union and the association
could deal directly with each other,
and so that the jobbers could best
ascertain a general scale of prices
which would result in reasonable
profit and allow reasonable wage
scale.

a night job to support your family
in the near future. Then you
would be in the same position as
these men who are now agitating
the movement for a car service at
night. Remember that selfishness
is not the spirit of unionism. The
real spirit of organized labor is to
help all of the toiling forces to
procure that which they need.
There are dozens of men COM
PEELED to wait sleepily for hours
after their night shift is over in
the shops and the factories here,
for a car to take them home to
their beds. BY this fact, time with
their families and in the daylight
is curtailed.
They need the night car service,
and they need the support of their
brother workingmen in their eff
forts to get it. The matter is now
in the hands of a committee from
the city council, with instructions
to take it before the two street
car companies. Get up petitions,
if you cannot do more, and present
them
