CONVENTION HALL RINK.

The big rink at Convention Han was
crowded to the utmost yesterday aft
ernoon and last night with a merry
throng OF skaters. The enlarged skat-
ing area. new skates, excellent music
and new floor. attracted hundreds OF
people, both old and young. At the
matinee yesterday many had to be
turned away, as all Of the 1000 pairs OF
skates were in use.
The management has guarded against
repetition OF this circumstance by
placing a hurry-up order for several
hundred additional pairs of skates.
Last night there was a championship
one-mile race. won by Mr.. II. Cotton.

ladies' night, when every lady, accom-
panied by a gentleman. win be admit

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

Chase's did not have a rival show in
the Presidents New Years reception.
Eight thousand persons swarmed to the
White House, but there were enough
ll-wishers left to pack the popular
playhouse and applaud every act Of q
well-seIected bill
The headliner is May Tully in a one
act comedy Of divorce life in Reno. New,
entitled THE Battle Cry for Freedom. -
Miss Tully plays the role of Mrs. Robert
Smith, who is seeking a release from
marital ties, at her best, while Robert
Lowe, as a gay young man about town,
and Frances Carson, as another would-be
divorce, kept their audience in an up
roar. Jess KepDler, as a bellboy, also
lends material aid IN making the sketch
a winner. The scene Is laid in a Reno
hotel and many complications cause con-
tinual rounds of laughter.
The Great Lorch family present thrill
ing feats in hippedrome varieties. Billy
Gould and Belle Ashyn offer bits OF
tuneful and timely topics interspersed
with merry songs, jests, and stories, and
were warmly applauded.
Comedians come small and tall and
long and short. but little Lord Robert.
a diminutive entertainer, put himself in
class by himself by his unique act,
which is full of good humor, song hits
and comical dances. Ed Morton, who
needs no Introduction to Chase's audi
ences, is back for his annual dispensing
Of songs scintillating with mirth.
Caroline Franklin and William Wilson
scored in q spicy comedy entitled "A
Club Woman" The plot is based on a
wife's love for club life and an unap-
preciative husband. They are ably as
sisted by Frank r. Russell. as the hus-
bands chum, who brings the dove of
peace into the household.
Vittorio and Georgetto, ''the upside
down boys" were amusing. and the pho
toplane. showing international events,
concluded the bill.

THE. NEW LYCEUM.
"zaIiah's own Company

Before a holiday audience that packed
the New Lyceum to the doors, zallah,
the Oriental dancer. and her company
Of merrymakers, sang and danced them
selves into favor yesterday afternoon.
The show, without Zallah. would be en-
tertsining in itself, but with the addition
OF such an artist. the show is welI-nigh
irresistible. and the audience voiced its
approval by numerous encores.
There ls much in the dancing of ZalIah
that is seldom found in the usual run of
burlesque Oriental dancers, and her work
at no time gave the slightest semblance
Of yulgarity. Her every movement was
the essence OF grace, and the weird
Oriental amusic added much to the ef-
fectiveness of her terpsichorean move
ments.
The entire performance was one OF per-
feet balance. and the work OF the come
disns and principal women was Of a high
order. The Chorus was becomingIy
gowned and executed the various en-
sembles with vim and dash that was
refreshing. The opening burletta, "A
Dress Rehearsal at the Folies Bergere !"
was striking reproduction OF the we'll
known New York resort Of that name.

progress, and that the candidacy Of the
Progressive candidates is TN a fair way
to sweep the country.
Take the two polls of the state Of
New York, made by the New York
Herald, a Wilson paper, as an illustra-
tion, the first showing Wilson in the
lead and the second, a little later in
the campaign, giving big majority
to Roosevelt. Take the poll by the
California Outlook. giving Roosevelt
majority over all other candidates
in this state. Numerous other tests
of this kind made in many states show
the same results, and the conviction n
grows that the Progressive candidates
are to be the winners.
Sometimes this tendency is spoken
Of as the result of the emotional tend
ency of the American people. But
there is deeper significance than that
The present uprising of the American
people is like all revolutionary move
ments.
The Dutch are not an emotional peo-
pie but after standing centuries of OPP
preston they arose under the Prince
of Orange to reestablish the liberty
they had lost.
The English are not an emouonal
people, but they arose under Cromwell
to destroy the power which had OPP
pressed them for centuries.
The French are emotional and their
revolution took on the horrors of the
reign of terror.
The present uprising of the American
people is for the restoration of indus
trial liberty, and ii is even more tenn
perate than were those led by Orange
and Cromwell
1t is an accident that Roosevelt and
Johnson happen II be the leaders Of
this movement, as leadership in revo-
luton always is accidental. The cause
lies in the long years Of oppression
and in this case the oppression of the
great aggregations of capital. No per-
son off-hand can create a revolution
But when conditions ripen the fruit
OF oppression. the people take for lead
ers those whom accident makes mos
available.
The present tide of reform or of rev
olut'on is rising daily, and like all rev.
olutionary procedure il must go on Il

this year or next election, but dali.

With an ample banquet, followed by
an informal dance in Huddleston's pa
vilion Thursday night, the Brawley FIRE
department brought the biggest duck
hunt in Imperial valley history to a
fitting close. Two teams of five men
each had been chosen, captained by
I'll. Baum and Dan Rice, to shoot for
the championship, with Jack Kuns and
John Gresser as leaders of the clean
ing squads attached to each team. Two
days were given to sport and plenty
of it existed. Out of one field on the
Henry Stahl ranch it is estimated that
the firemen and their enthusiastic
friends killed more than 500 ducks,
while the hunters who sought North
End fields brought in several hundred
more. The result was declared a draw.
At Huddleston's pavilion Thursday
evening long table, prettily decorat
ed, was filled with all kinds of good
things to eat. Every guest had at
least one duck. The members of the
board of trustees, a News representa-
tive, with their wives and the wives of
the fremen, We're guests of the depart
ment, more than sixty being present.
Dan Rice acted as POSTMASTER, and
the amusing experiences of the two
teams RECALLED the audience. Among the
speakers were DR.. c. A. DaWdy Earl
McReynolds, o. A. Fitzgerald, T. b. Ed
gar, V. Schmitz, j. d. Bennett and j.
Gresser. Concluding the evenings en-
tertainment, the floor was cleared and
a dance enjoyed.
Every house in Brawley is occupied,
with a dozen calls for every vacancy.
Nearly every day, families pass on to
other cities because no place exists to
house them. They cannot live in the
street and Brawley just now offers
them nothing better. To spend money
to bring people here and then lack a
place to put them is wasteful. Capital
is needed. Every property owner. in
the city is personally and vitally in
terested in aiding the effort to bring
ii here. Every house built adds to
the value of adjoining property. The
erection of fifty new houses will have
a highly beneficial effect in steadying
prices and will add immeasurably TO
the general prosperity of the city. If
every person will agitate the subject
of providing homes for the newcomers.
attention may be called to BrawIey's
crying need and the question solved.

Wy j. Il. Massey
The foe is massing forces,
We hear the bugle sound;
They're needing vast resources
Maneuvering round and round
We hear the Wall street hoof,
A tramping by the way;
This gives us ample proof
They fear they're not to stay.
We're in the game to stay (no play,
We're going all the way Il say).
Hark! there comes Tammany,
With Murphy brooding DER
The pains that soon may be,
With all the awful gore;
There's all the bunch of bosses,
And lining up, we see;
They're counting up their losses,
That soon may likely be.
We're in the game to stay (no play)
We're going all the way U say).
We see the leader, Penrose,
That honest, able man.
He cries: Lets down them foes,
If only down we can"
The gallant John D. Archbold,
With Harriman's friends along,
Is coming into fold;
All sing a sorry song.
We're in the game to stay (no play,
We're going all the way G say).
With all these motley hosts
Come willy Barnes and Ryan,
With Quay's and Hanna's ghosts;
Thou, too, oh, Billy Bryan.
Still further down the line.
Tom Taggart leads a band
He throws on high a sign:
Lets play a foxy hand.
We're in the game to stay mo play),
We're going all the way U say.
In all this Cody crew
We see the waving hair
La Follette's, tried and true,
And Murray Crane-a pair.
Lo, slowly creeping far
Behind this angel throng,
Friends Taft and Wilson are;
Arms locked, they tread along.
We're in the game to stay Cno play)
We're going all the way Il saw
War songs they all are chanting:
Lets down this Teddy Bear
Wen do him up by ranting;
Wen stop reforming here"
Some cry: They choke us way"
Some cry: They've stole our dope,
And all: We've had our day,
Well have no future hope"
We're in the game to stay (no play)
We're going all the way Il say.
