Philadel- phia. Boston and Denver. Reidy 2Ed Currier. meaning Jack Reidy and El- sic Currier, are the artists. and that vaudeville lured them from the draw Ing room is to vaudeville's credit and the greater enjoyment of vaudeville audiences. They present a singing and instrumental act that is the essen ence of refinement. and the work Of Miss Currier at the harp. that beau tifuI instrument. further enhances the artistic atmosphere of the act. Real singers of real songs" might be a worthy appelation for the Reidy and Currier act. and in passing it might not be amiss to mention that in the matter of dressing MT. Reidy and Miss Currier show ideas that do not come from reading a fashion book but rather from the knowing how to dress we'll.
 Our Boys in Blue headlines the bill, and the marching and drilling of the seventeen boys arouses the greatest enthusiasm at each performance William H. Macart and Ethlynne Bradford offer their comedy drama, "A Leg timate Ho,d-Up'. with Macart S inimitable monologue a big laugh get ter, and Miss Bradford's most attrac- tive appearance and personality not the least assets of the act.
 Others on the bill who have acts of the encore variety include the George Bloomquest Players in the de- cidedly funny sketch. Nerve; Harry Holman. who has new stories and cap- ital songs. and is a big favorite with Poli audiences; O'Dell and kinley in an acrobatic dancing novelty; and Dillon, the Heterogeneous Lecturer. who vividly describes the motion pie lures.
 Manager Poli announces for the headline feature next week Pauline. Perry and a company of ten players in the latest vaudeville hit. 'The Sil- yer Bottle." It is said to be the best idea in the singing and dancing line brought out in many seasons.

The Ideal in Education.

In its current number the American
Educational Review makes strong
plea for the ideal in education, the
practical life that does not ignore the
ideal, a recognition of the value of the
spirit, a full acceptance Of the fact
that 1t takes a soul to move a body
even TO cleaner sty.'" 1t empha-
sizes the maxim that THE masses need
education, not as a means of liveli-
hood, but as a means OF life" Which
is, after all, the fundamental principle
on which the idea or education was
erected, a principle enunciated long
years ago before the rampant notion
that all preparation was to At men
and women to acquire wealth.
The Review takes the position, and
Justly SO, that mo effort TO make the
school training dovetail into the trade
or business which the boy or girl is to
pursue must blind US to the all-impor-
tant fact that the man or woman is
not a machine for grinding out dol
lars" This thought needs larger
room for play in most OF our minds
The world could easily afford to give
more time and space to the ideal that
measures life from the standard Of
serious service to mankind and not
from the intrinsic value OF the dollar
We need q break now and then in our
hurly-burly race to get rich. II tends
to freshen Us, TO infuse purer blood
into the veins Of our concrete lives
and make them more fruitful of actual
good, for IL Is a process OF lifting our
minds and aspirations to higher levels.
II is not we'll to seek to crowd out OF
our education all the ideal, therefore,
or even the visions. for the dull duties
of earning a livelihood, which will
soon come, can do all that. As the
Review puts IL;
The precious school years are to many
the only time when the grind OF getting
q living Is abated, so that they catch a
glimpse OF what Il really is to live. These
priceless visions are the Illuminating
power the uplifting influence Of life
OF toll.
Sordidness will creep into the best
OF lives, so that II needs no inviting.
Until we are ready to admit that
money and the ability to acquire it is
the test OF education We can have no
quarrel with that system OF culture
that uphOlds the ideal, while incuI-
eating the principles OF practical
service. Such a system affords its
own middle ground OF sane, rational
usefulness, Our general schools are
not supposed to make carpenters. OF

Helm for the Miners

The law that created the federal bu-
reau of mines is one that looks to the
conservation Of human life, as well as
of property, and if It proves successful
in practice it will become one of the
most vital forces Of sound, sane govern
ment that has been set in motion. Its
fundamental principle is to instruct
miners how to save life, as well as to
avoid accident and the loss of property,
on the same theory as the law requir-
ing safety appliances on railroads.
Loss of life in mines Of this country
has become appalling, in spite Of eff
forts to prevent it. 1t has been proven
that the problem arising from this stu
alton cannot be left to the mine own
ers voluntary action for solution. 1t
would seem that such marvellous bust
ness acumen as it represents might be
turned to equal advantage in protecting
life if sufficient effort we're made, but
the government has not stopped to par
ley about the why's or wherefores OF
the question; it has simply determined
that our rate of fatal mine accidents,
three to five men out of every 1000
employed, is needlessly high, and it
has gone to work to stop this slaugh-
ter. II has proceeded on the assump-
ton that the slaughter is excessive,
due to criminal csrelessness. And this
seems fair, since in European coun-
| tries the rate of men killed in mines
is less than half ours.
The first of six portable stations for
demonstrating this rescue work has
been sent out, traversing the Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana and Illinois countries
first. other stations will be estab-
lished in the south and west, one at
Rock Springs, Wyo. The work will be
thorough and scientific and Uncle Sam
hopes to accomplish immediate re-
suits. If this system does not prove
all that the government expects, It will
certainly lead to something that will
so we may we'll conclude that the mine
horrors are soon to become a rare ex-
ception rather than a common occur

MR.. BRYAN UNDER BAN.
Humiliation of Hiring Hall at
Home.
Washington Star.


Home,
Washington Star.
"Oh, go and hire hall!" For years this
has been the impatient reply to a bore.
Usually he Is a long-winded fellow with a
grievance or a new scheme of doubtful
character. He buttonholes you on the
street, and gesticulates with energy. or he
invades your office in business hours, or
corners you at lunch, and insists on at
tention. You weary Of him In a minute,
and are thanked for sentence which ex-
presses your feelings and frees you from
your trouble.
But how strange that this reply should
now have been made to one of the most
interesting men OF the day, and by those
who for years have been seeking him out
and hanging rapturously on his words
Think OF william J. Bryan forced to hire
halls in Nebraska in order to submit his
views to his fellow citizens on the political
issues of the day? In a time of changes
and surprises and uncertainties in politics,
is there anything more startling than this?
Mr.. Bryans reflections must be too
warm for words. He has great gifts OF ex-
preston and has tackled a variety OF sub
jects in recent years. Full OF criticism Of
men and measures, and "hefty" in OBJ
jurgatiOn when he tries, he yet must pause
in a sort OF despair when he considers
this situation and those who have put the
affront upon him.
At the same time he Is not without fault.
When he offered his services to the demo-
cratic state committee he put that body
In a very embarrassing plight. So far as
state matters are concerned he and Il are
not pointing IN the same direction. The
committee is working for Dahlman for
governor. Mr. Bryan has bolted the Dahl
man nomination. The committee is not
trying to drive the brewers and the dis
tiIlers and the saloons out of politics, Mr..
Bryan IT, He proclaims that policy as a
necessity in behalf OF decent government.
Mr.. Bryan should have spared the COM
mittee. He should have hired halls with
out a suggestion from Il, taking his own
end.
How will the Nebraska result affect Mr..
Bryan as a national leader? II the re-
pubHcans carry the state and retain their
senator, the Dahlman people will saddle
MIR. Bryan with the responsibility. II the
democrats win, Mr.. Dahlman and his
friends will come into a good deal OF
power and use It against him whenever
and wherever possible. STILL as Mr..
Bryan is man of resources. he win not
be overwhelmed even by such a predica-
ment
