The ''Red Rose"
 Scores Al Park


 A fair sized audience was at the Park theatre last, evening to witness The Red Rose with Valeska Surratt and an excellent supporting company. It isva sprightly musical comedy with a handsome and good singing chorus. It was most elaborately staged and the performance on the whole proved most enjoyable. Craig Campbell the eminent tenor sang his part finely while Wilfred Young. Alexander Clark. John Daily Murphy, Maxwell Reynolds, Flavia Arcaro, Beatrice Deane and Louis Casvan did excellently. Miss surratt proved all that was said of her by the metropolitan critics. The comedy work of Miss Arcaro and Mir. Reynolds was especially fine. Miss Arcaros singing of the doll song be- ing very clever. It has been many moons since better looking bevy of young women has been seen here. The music of the play is good and while there might have been an improve. ment in some of the voices on the whole the production was most pleas ing.

Selectman Fox Sustains Defeat
 In Fairfield
Special to The Farner.)


 Fairfield, Oct. 3-With a majority Of 6S votes. Charles A. Rowe, Republican candidate for first seleetman. won the day for his party over Charles $. Fox who has held the position of first selectman for four years. Most of the votes were cast early in the day, which led the close watchers of the polls to believe that the rush would come later. but were somewhat. dis appointed, as one of the smallest votes cast in years resulted. At noon both parties claimed victory and money changed hands in large quantities, not far from where the votes were be- ing polled
 The threatening weather exerted a depressing influence on the vote, as it deterred those who live in the remote sections of the town from coming to the polls. AS early as 5:30 a. nj. many automobiles, employed in the. service of both parties, were seen flying to and from breaking all speed regula- tions over the fine, roads of the town, which were put in such prime condi- tion under the supervision of the re- tiring first selectnlan, Charles s. Fox. Factory employees were the first to enter the ballot booths, which were located on the first floor of the Town hall 4

EILEEN.

I saw a pretty girl in red. With waving plume and tossing head; A perfect picture of queen The prettiest girl I've ever seen. I saw a pretty girl in blue. Excelling everything in view; A handsome miss of seventeen The prettiest girl I've ever seen. saw a pretty girl in white. A vision walking in the night; With saucy hat of palest green The prettiest girl I've ever seen. And yet she's very much the same; She'll change her dress, but not her

THE VOTING RECORD
OF VICTOR BERGER,
Name Appears Twice as Many Times
on Democratic Side as on Republican.

The voting record of Representative
Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin, the
only Socialist member of congress, is
by any caucus or conference action,
and his sole duty is TO be a true So
cialist Thus far no member of either
the Republican or Democratic party
has paired with Mr.. Berger. There
fore when he does not vote he gets no
credit for pairs.
Mr.. Berger answered the first roll
call OF the extra session and voted
present" on the speakership, his party
having no candidate. On the following
day he voted against the previous ques-
ton on the rules, but did not vote Oh
a resolution to consider them. On
April Is he voted for the amendment
of Representative Young TO the resolu-
ton providing for a constitutional
amendment for the direct election of
United States senators. This amend
ment was a counterpart for the Sutber-
land amendment in the senate, now
known as the Bristow substitute, and
provides for the federal control of cleo
tons Of senators by a direct vote.
After the defeat of this amendment
Mr.. Berger voted for the passage of
the resolution.
The next day he voted against the
Mccall amendment to the campaign
fund publicity bill and for the Jackson
amendment giving the federal courts
jurisdiction to punish violations of the
act. He also voted against a motion
to recommit the bill and then voted
against the passage Of the bill. On
April 81 Mr.. Berger voted for the
passage of the Canadian reciprocity
bill, and on April q he did not vote
tionment bill.
Mr.. Berger voted to table an appeal
from the decision of the chair on the
farmers free list bin and the same
day voted for its passage. On May
II he voted with the Democrats to ad-
jouTn for three days. On May II he
did not vote on the previous question
for the sugar investigating committee,
hut did vote to recommit the resolu-
ton with instructions to change the
method of its selection. On May D
he voted against recommitting the
statehood bill
To date. allowing for questions
where the vote IN the house was non
partisan. Mr.. Berger has voted nearly
twice with the Democrats TO once with
the Republicans. This is not an I'M
natural proportion for an independent
member. inasnuch as the Democrats
are proposing the legislation. About
the only thing that stands out IN his
record is the fact that he Is opposed
to high tariff duty. In favor of the
broadcast possible liberty for the intff-
viduaI member OF the house and for
the initiative, referendum and recall
as indicated In the Arizona constitu-

COST OF Graduating.

superintendent Blair is authority
for the statement that an Illinois girl,
one OF the brightest of her class, feign-
ed i'll Health and dropped out of higl,
school because'her father could not az
ford the money to pay the expenses of
what a school official has called a cheap,
peacock parade" The last two words
may properly describe IT, but there is
nothing cheap about most graduations.
Figures compiled by one school Official
show that the average cost of clothes
and Invitations for commencement is
S34.40 for boys and $5S.1s for girls.
This year there has been in many
schools an agreement that all gradu-
