Boston and Reform.

Boston has been engaged with a most amazing contract in houseclean- ing. Ths city has been making a mighty fuss over Improvements, con centratfon of civic energies and refor- nations in the charter. The business bore no meek and modest name. It was called social engineering, denoting the mobilization of all things scien- tific.
 The first election after the adoption of the charter was held on Tuesday. George B. Hubbard, the present mayor who was wept into office two years ago on a wave of revulsion against ma chine politics obtained 1,783 votes. J. B. J. Storrow, a banker representing g things high-brow and superior, re- ceived 45,745 votes. John F. Fitzger- aid, who was buried under the Hib- jority of 1923.
 1t is the conventional thing to be amused with Boston. Yet this is a very serious situation. The partyless election has failed to eliminate the party. All the elaborate efforts to re- move "bad" politics from the conduct of municipal affairs have failed-at least for the moment. Out of the ma chinery erected to crush the profes- sional politician has walked the ma chine boss triumphant and smiling and with 1.223 more votes in his hands than his nearest opponent. Boston is democratic city and Fitzgerald has been the democratic autocrat The city declines to be made over in a day and the boss insists upon a showdown when it is loudly announced that he has been banished-Toledo Blade.

THE AUDITORIUM.

The show at the Auditorium for the first three days of next week contains two feature acts, either one of which could headline almost any vaudeville bill The first, Ashborn's Dog and Pony Circus, including Rex, the pony with the human brain, is an act that appeals both to young and old Rex is an equine prodigy and a living example of what may be accomplished by ex- pert training. After witnessing the performance of this marvellous horse there Is no doubt whatsoever as to the reasoning powers of animals. A com edy scream is the Whangdoodle Four. . -quartette of darkeys In 8 laughing absurdity entitled The Darkey Dancing Master. This act is a sure cure for medancholia and the blues. Other acts are Miss Pearl Revere, 8 clever char acter comedienne. and The Stantons, a-teaTn of sidewalk comedians whose line Of talk and bright songs are up to the minute.

The Short Ballot.

The short ballot reform has received an impetus from the commentators given it by Governor Hughes in his recent message, A movement all ready indorsed by such men as MT. Eliot, former president of Harvard. and Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton, is likely soon to assume national importance For such is the power of suggestion when made by a forceful man like New York's govern or
 Tn a word the short ballot move ment is one for the minimizing of cleo tive officers. It is an attempt to es- tabIish in state and municipality the principle recognized for the nation in the constitution. Each citizen votes, directly or Indirectly. for a president and vice president, a congressman and a senator. We leave the president to choose the heads of executive depart ments So much for national elections.
 When one comes to elect state and municipal officials, however. the null tiplicity of candidates sometimes be- comes appalling. Ballots become long complex and confusing. Instead of choosing the executive and permitting him to pick other less important off, cials. we elect practically all of them cleveland Plain Dealer

When oompers AsIopped Over"

Samuel Gompers and his fellow rep resentatives of the American Fedora ton of Labor would have made stronger impression upon the public in their appeal to the president against the Steel trust if they could have con- trolled their ha'bitual tendency to as- sail the courts of the land while they were making it.
 It was unnecessary in their case to say that "the law and courts can reach this monopoly. The law and the been shown lately in the Standard Oil case and the Sugar frauds. But when Gonpers went on to add the slur, even If its annual revenue is counted in the hundreds of millions dollars" he played the demagogue. The courts have demonstrated effectually their absolute freedom from corporation domination, and only a desire to stir up blind prejudices could have led to the use of such phrase.
 When the appeal touched on the ex- cluSion of American labor and the en- ployment of foreigners it became tol- erable, at least although in the mat ter of logic it was still open to de- bate. Whether the Steel trust does em- ploy alien labor and in what propor- tion, are questions of fact, on which there is not sufficient evidence for de- ciSiOn by the public. Probably it does employ such workers to a. considera- ble extent If it does, is not unionism somewhat to blame itself?
 
 conditions of this country the. rougher class of work must still be done If union labor will not do it on reason able terms, what is the employer to do? Shut up shop? Naturally, he seeks this class of workers where he can find them.
 But the unionists say, we can't live on the wages. offered for this kind of work: the cost of living is too hiph in the country One reason why the cost of living is high is found in the continuous wrangles and disagree ments over working conditions between the unions and employers. If steel strike is precipitated it's certain result for the nation at large will be an in crease in prices of steel products. Sim liar interruptions of the normal course of business have had similar effects on other necessaries of existence, and they form one cause-and a very in fIuentiaI cause-for the higher prices of many things about which we are all grumbling nowadays.-Detroit Free Press.

BROADWAY THEATER.

The great Volta at the Broadway theater the last three days of this week has proved. a big drawing at traction and has demonstrated the fact that with practice he can pass a great voltage of electric current through his body. He has an act that will please anyone At Saturday matinee he will arrange an act that will be of special interest to school children, as well as the older folks. This act is very in structive as well as interesting. The other three vaudeville acts are above par and each pIeases in his or her re- specfive line. Owing to the great pop ularfty and demand for latest and best motion pictures, the mana cement has decided to even improve the excellent service they now have by changing the pictures every day. A complete change of pictures every day starting Monday will give the picture loving public at all times something new, in- structive and interesting. The vaude- vile acts will be kept up to the high est possible standard. For the first three days of next week a double head liner Is offered. Walton and Vivian have a decided oddity in their sketch, and The Ramsey Sisters have a comedy musical act that always makes good. Ernest A. Dupille and The Sterlings are the other acts.

The Rsnohmsn's Rival, Thrilling Cow
 boy Picture.

One of the hest exhibitions of speedy horseback riding is seen in the pow erfuI drama of the west shown at the Breed theater under the title of The Ranchman's Rival, a brilliant story full of vital human interests and teeming with sensational episodes which fasci- nate the audiences to the point of spontaneous. applause. This great rid ing scene occurs just before the de- luded heroine is about to be married to villainous customer who has. by reason of his sporty life, caused the heroine to leave her faithful cowboy lover and elope with him. The pair is well along their way to the fake par son's when the news of the arrival of the customers legal wife reaches the ears of the discarded lover, and he is not slow in mounting his favorite horse and fleeing in pursuit The gorgeous ness of the scenery of the country through which the rider passes cannot be described and must be seen to be appreciated He arrives in time to stop the ceremony and under cover of his Tevolvers oompels the pair to re- turn in the auto, followed by him to the forSiving wife. The powerful les Son fin morality entitled Three Finger cd Jack Is another great favorite' and delights everyone. Miss Wolcott has made a great hit with her superbly artistic rendition of the Jewel Song from Faust, which she retains for. the balance of the week, singing also I'm Awfu1y Glad Met You.
