TAFT PLAN BOSS RULE
Roosevelt Makes Strong Criticism Of
Presidents Platform Speakers
Stage Breaks Down During Portland
Meetino

Portland, Me. March 25.-The most
direct criticism yet leveled at President
Taft by his predecessor in office was
contained in a speech delivered here
Saturday night by Colonel Roosevelt.
The collapse Of the speakers plat
form in the auditorium created some
excitement, altho Colonel Roosevelt
was uninjured. The platform. which
was elevated about three feet from the
floor. was occupied by about thirty per-
sons.
AS Colonel Roosevelt assembled on en-
tering the hall, it gave way with a
crash. The middle portion sank to the
floor. Colonel Roosevelt quickly stepped
| to the front Of the structure. which did
not give way, and waved his hand at
the crowd to show that ne was un!n-
jured. A chair was placed on the edge
Of the PLATFORM and during the remain
der Of the evening Colonel Roosevelt
| remained placidly at the front OF the
weakened stage.
When Walter H. Brown. president Of
the Roosevelt committee of Maine, in
troduced the colonel. there was an out
burst Of hand clapping. frequently
during his speech he was interrupted
| by applause. Colonel Roosevelt's open
| ing remarks. in which he referred to
the collapse of the platform, brought a
| laugh from his hearers.
1.-The platform broke down." he said.
| "but it was not our platform. Our
platform won't break down. In the end
the servants Of the people will have to
stand on that platform or the Ameri-
can democracy will be a confessed
| failure"
Issue Is Defined.
"The president Of the United States,
in a number Of recent speeches. ably
and correctly has stated the issue be-
tween him and u.s." said Colonel Roose-
welt I'VE stand for the right Of the
people to rule, and we stand for this as
a real and living fact and not az a
Juggling formula ingeniously devised
so as not to find expression in fact. In
a recent speech the president para
phrased Lincoln's great statement that
This is a government Of the people. for
the people and by the people propos-
ing as a substitute that we hereafter
J should act on the theory that this is q
government Of the people. for the peo-
pie by a representative Cor CLASSY Of

1.-THE point Of difference between the
believers in genuine democracy and
genuine popular rule and those who
openly or secretly disbelieve IN such
genuine popular rule and believe in gov.

IMPORTANCE OF LACE

Lace, and yet more lace, Is creep
ing insidiously into our frocks, and
as nothing is more beautiful or more
graceful this is a thing for which to
be devoutly grateful. OF course
there are and always will be, people
who will e the cheapest imita-
tions. but there are also plenty who
make a point of selecting what is
good and lasting and looks well to
the very end of the chapter.
A founce of fine lace makes the
handsomest of ichus. 1t is placed
sufficiently high at the neck to al
low of just a little play over the
arm. and in front it is tucked under
the sash and allowed to drop a little
on the skirt, like an embryonic apron.
Another method of treatment con-
sists OF two pieces of lace which
cross at the back, one being long
enough to disappear into the sash and
the other coming from under the
first an inch or two above the sash
and falling over the other shoulder.
AS most peoples store of lace is
very often for some reason or other
composed of odd lengths, such de-
vices are very useful.
A gown of lawn embroidered in
soft white thread had a stole of
black ~chantilly lace, which was laid
round the shoulders and fell low on

Billie burke Saws:

The First Word-Why Is Billie Burke?
BY BILLIE BURKE.
/ have received SO many letters
asking me questions about myself
that / have decided t. make this ar
ticie a little history of my life.
BILLIE BURKE is MY REAL
NAME. My father was a clown in
the Barnum & Bailey circus, when to
be a clown meant a man should be
a great pantomimist. He was rather
disappointed when I was born that /
was not a boy and named me Billie.
| was born in this country and edu-
Gated in England. My mother is still
alive. I went on the stage in Eng
land, but came over here as leading
woman to John Drew, and since my
first season nave starred with my
own company.
My home, after my season closes, is
In New York or at my country place
which I have recently purchased on
the Hudson river. This year is the
first summe vacation 1 have spent in
this country.
I AM NOT MARRIED NOR EN-
GAGGED AT PRESENT. 1 am not tall
but slender. My hair is red. My eyes
are blue. My chin is not pointed. as
some think, but rather the reverse,
and my teeth are regular. / have
the thin. fair skin of my Irish an
cestors.
Just at present / am not playing
n am living at my country home.
Early in August | shall begin re-
hearsals for my new play. THE Mind
CT the Paint Girl" which was a Lon
don success last year, and is the
largest production Mr.. Frohman will
make this season. In it / shall take
the character of the girl in the must
cal comedy and shall sing the song
called Mind the Paint" from which
the title is taken.
Some of my readers wonder why
we women of the stage seem to
know so much about the care of
ones beauty and the effect of char
acter and personality upon it. 1t is
simply because, this study is very
essential to an actress. We must
see ourselves as others see u.s. as
we'll as observe feminine character
and characteristics whenever we
come in contact with them. Besides
this we must obey the old biblical
injunction and be fair to look
upon.-
Every woman is more or less Of
an actress, but it is only as she be-
comes a keener observer of life and
is able to imagine situations which
have formed certain characteristics
and certain facial changes that she
can make her way Upon the stage.
Just one last wotd-The keen obser-
walton of others and the physical care
which an actress gives herself as
part of her business, could be used
to advantage by all women.
