River and Harbor
Bill Looks Good

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. -
Especial. l-Nothwith the be
lief prevailing in the minds of certain
senators that river and harbor bill
viii not be passed during the presen,
session of congress, canvass of the
upper branch shows a decided dispo.
sltion to pass conservative water
ways BILL should such a measure
reach the senate in time for its proper
consideration.
Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania, voiced the anti-waterway SEN
timent today in explaining the origin
of the rumors regarding river and
harbor bill.
1T is the opinion of such leaders
as Senators Hale and Aldrich that it
would be folly to pass a river and har-
Dor bill carrying $4,000, 600 OF $40
100000 in view of the present condi-
ton of the treasury The matter has
had consideration by the recently ere
ated committee on public expenditures
OF which Senator Hale is acting chair
man and while no definite action was
taken the situation was pretty thor
oughly gone over An opinion exists
that if we provide for projects now
building under continuing contract
provisions it will be about all the pre-
sent congress can reasonably be ex-
pected to do. Should we do but this
the sundry civil bill will carry in
the neighborhood of $4,000, 900 for
continuing the work of river and har-

"Of course" continued the senator
conditions may change as to the
treasury deficit in which event a river
and harbor bill Wou in all probability
be given respectful consideration -
Several other senators who, for per-
sonal reasons. object to the use of
their names, spoke in much the same
vein as the senator from Pennsylvan-
ia.
Senator Frye of Main, chairman of
the commerce committee, and an I'M
compromising friend of waterway i'm
prOVementS, takes a diametrically OPP
posite view of the situation.
The only way river and harbor
bill can be defeated" said Senator
Frye, lis to have it reported SO late in
the session that it might be t.ked to
death. 1t certainly cannot be defeat
ed by votes. l have not heard the
rumors about disposition on the part
of some senators to postpone consider

A Nine Days Wonder.

Theatrical circles in New York have
not yet finished asking why Charles
Frohman shauld have the two great
comedy successes of the year,
both playing at the same time on
Broadway, "The Arcadians' and THE
Dollar Princess" Some call it ''Froh-
man luck" some attribute it to the
weather, others say it is no trick to
pick a good musical comedy if you
have good ones to select from. Mr..
Frohman himself hazards NJ answer
to the question. But the ext 'oor.linary
fact remains undisputed :. a. both
these pieces have been pronounce sue
cesses Of the first magnitude, fitting
successors of The Merry Widow or
The Geisha," and both of them are
distinctly out of the ordinary line of
Broadway musical plays.

recently organized Blue Mountain
Bachelors club, are preparing con-
stitution, bylaws and articles for a
charter This step has been taken
following the receipt of numerous let
tiers from bachelors living In almost
every state of the union suggesting a
National club. 1t is planned to have
the national headquarters in Dayton
and to have clubs, or bachelors halls,
in all of the principal towns of Amer
ica The publication of a monthly
paper in the interests of bachelor
hood is also being considered.
In many respects, the brotherhood
of Bachelors as it will probably be
called. will resemble a fraternal or
ganization. Regular dues will be
charged for supporting and develop
ing the order, meetings will be held
regularly. with initiatory work, de-
srees. secret work, banquets and other
embellishments of secret orders. The
initatory work, now being planned, is
said to be of an amusing and inter-
esting nature.
One of the distinct features the Ma
tional club will likely have is a mat
rimonial bureau If such is consid-
cred advisable it will probably be OPP
Grated as part of the brotherhood
publication. President Ralph Hunt is
active in directing the work of out
lining plans for the National Brother
hood of Bachelors. 1t is suggested that
bachelors living anywhere, who are
interested in establishing a local bach
elOrs club. write to the secretary OF
the Blue Mountain Bachelors club.

VIOLENT CRASH IN
STOCKS PUzzUNG
CONTRACTION IN MARKET STA
TUS OF STOCKS AND LIQUI-
DATiON INEXPLICABLE.
Slump in Market Gives Rise to
Slump in Market Gives Rise to
Anxiety With Fears That I'm
favorable Facts Exist.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-The violent
stocks last week and the heavy liqui-
dation that caused it proved difficult
to explain. The fact of the stock
market crash gave rise to anxiety
over the general situation and to fears
that unfavOrable facts existed al
though they were not disclosed. The
excess of the preceding speculation
which had pushed prices to unwar-
ranted heights in 1909, was assumed
and the measure of that excess was
held responsible for the violence of
last weeks reaction.
The letting out of the speculative
imitation not only has brought a mod
flied view of the actual conditions
that prompted it, but also a realiza-
ton of the lull in the progress of such
prosperous increase as had set in.
With the recognition Of the check
to progress in business and industry,
comes the question how far the re-
action may run. The unsettled spec
ulatiVe sentiment was reflected in the
stock market. Confidence is impaired
in the substantial nature of the i'm
provement that has occurred and it's
permanent character. A potent fac
tor in this view is the dying down
of demand for iron, especially for the
longer deliveries, and the resultant
declines in the price.
The repOr tot cancellation of orders
for equipment by some railroads
makes an impression of distrust over
maintenance of traffic. The raising of
capital for extension of enterprise only
presents difficulties.
The public agitation on the high cost
of living also had an unfavorable eff

less abtruse but effective influence
on stocks is the pushing of the move

Teaching Without Preaching.

The greatest thinker on education
which the world has ever had is F'roe-
bel. Froebel discovered the great
truth that the mind acquires best and
most easily when it is being led by
interest, not driven by discipline, and
this truth he derived from the theatre.
Froebel invented the kindergarten, in
which the child mind is expanded by
ideas which entertain while they in
struct Froebel outlined the whole
system of modern education, which
might be called education made pain
less" He also repaid his debt to the
theatre by proving that concrete visual
suggestion is the basis Of all sound
education. Viewing the stage as
means of education, Augustus Thomas
must be regarded as one of the fore
most American educators, and his
election by the American academy in
dicates that the foremost men Of the
country so regard him. His work
has been as practical as it has been

that man could never hope for escape

not seem to follow. Now the absurd
