The Stage

"Wfdfrc," the Broadhurst-IIobart
racing classic that will be seen at
The Grand next Thursday, is primarily
a ceomedy, but there are also great
many dramatic situations Incorporated
into the plot. There are also two very
pretty and logically worked ont love
sories on which the plot in measure
depends The chief one OF these has
to do with the loves of John Garrison
and Fred Sanderson for the charming
widow, Mrs. harrington. The widow
favors the suit of Garrison, but ne Is
cast Into dfsrepute by lie spoken by
one Duffy, a dishonest booknIaker, and
Mrs. Darlington, believing that Garri-
son is in league with Duffy to have
her horse "Wildfire" pulled in the
race, showers her favors on Sander
son, the val of Garrison. Garrison
calls on Mrs. harrington to seek an
explanation and she refuses to see
him. However. he learns from bud,
the stable hoy, that the widow thinks
that he is working in conjunction with
DUFFY to make her lose the race. Gar
riscn meets Sanderson and after
tense and very strong scene between
the two men, in which the misunder-
tShlndinE is made plain SRnderson
goes to The widow and convinces her
that she has made a mistake in not
listening to Garrison's explanation;
he also at the same time offers to re-
lease her from her promise to marry
him. She naturally takes advantage
OF his offer and as soon as Sapderson
leaves the room the widow quickly
calls Garrison on the phone, and all
ends happily.
The other love story. while not so
important or as absorbing as that be-
tween the widow and her two suitors,
furnishes much delightful comedy that
thrills the audienl,e. especially tine
feminine portion. The company en-
gagged to play the various roles is said
to be notably good. and includes some
well known and popular players. VIII

pany, will be seen again In that part,
and the widow will be played by Miss
Jessie West. The scene ehects VIII

production is carried by the company
in its entirety.

THE REORGANIZATION OF
THE SENATE COMMITTEES.

To the credit of the elders and lead
ers in the Senate, it must be said that
they have done a good piece of work in
recognizing the committees of the up
per body. They have given distinct
recognition to the newer and Western
Senators. in whose behalf complaint has
been made of recent years, and on good
ground. They have taken long step
toward pItting an end to one of the
most serious vices III the Senate sys-
tenn Power over the real business of
legislation Is today better and more
equitably distributed than in many
years past. The Senate is less a sec
tional affair than it was n week ago.
IL is able better to represent the whole
United States; it is less liable TO the
criticism of standing mainly for a
group of the older States
The East is entitled to its leadership
in the Senate, because the East keeps
its Senators in their places longer than
the West does. The veterans of service
must inevitably be the leaders Pres
tige, experience, accumulated knowl-
edge, make them of necessity the men
20 dominate affairs. If the middle West
and West would displace the East in
control, they must raise a crop of vet
Grams; and these cannot be had by the
process of constant shifting and change.
Possibly the States which make fire.
,luent changes are doing better than #
they didn't make changes. Better
throw cut Senator who misrepresents
his State, than to keep him in the hope
that he will gain in power and standing,
and ultimately satisfy his people bet
ter. The chances ere that at the end
of term State knows whether IL
has the sort of man it wants; and if
he is wrong, he should be cast out. But
the fact remains that the State which
is fortunate enough TO make few mis-
takes, and therefore few changes, is the
one which accumulates influence. IN
both houses Of Congress.
There is still room for advance in the
matter of distribution of committee as
rignments in the upper house. Improv-
ed as it is, the distribution Is still far
from ideal. But the gain which has
been effected a. result OF one sessions
insurgency suggests that such effort is
by no means ,selcss. The Senate isn't
beyond reforr Or improvement, a its
most vicious critics have sought to
make the country believe. 1t can take
a hint; . understands what public
opinion Is trying 10 get at; and it has
Just given fine illustration of its
capacity and willingness TO yield when
a policy OF yielding Is plainly the safer
policy.

Canadian worker. Not only do the
Canadians get better wages, but m the
mills under discussion they work on
The strictly eight-hour plan, while in
competing Wisconsin mills they work
eleven to twelve hours.
Mr.. Stafford having proved this, the
manufacturers explained it might be
trre Of skilled labor, but unskilled
labor was much cheaper in Canada than
on this side. This was specifically and
effectively denied by Senator Stephen
son, who knows all about it from ex-
perience.
The whole discussion developed that
the pulp-and- investigation has
proved that there is no need of protec-
ton for American paper, and every
reason for giving the, American manu-
facturer free raw materials; that the
Canadians will not, in the long run,
permit their raw materials to be sent
here to maintain our industry, unless
they in turn are given a competitive
chance in our market; and that, If Can
ada should let us have free pulp, and
then permit our paper free access to
her market. the American Paper Trust
would invade the Capadian market,
drive ant the Canadian manufacturers,
