SOCIETY GIRL CABARET SINGER

From the New York Evening Mail.
Singing in cabaret show on Broadway,
Miss Eilda Glyder, an 1S-year-old girl.
who made her debut in Baltimore society
last year, has been found by her mother,
Nine. Glyder, a costumer, of Charles
street, Baltimore. Two weeks ago Miss
Glydor, after failing to get the consent
of her mother, who Is a widow, to so on
the stage, disappeared from home. A
search for her resulted in her discovery in
a cafe at Columbus Circle.
Entreaties from Nine. Glyder to return
to Baltimore and abandon her engagement
in the restaurant only made the young
woman, who is striking brunette the
more determined to remain. She declared
herself bored with social functions, and
announced emphatically that she proposed
to continue her stage career.
Then Nine. Glyder surrendered. She de-
cided to close her Baltimore establishment
and remove to New York for the avowed
purpose of remaining alongside of her
daughter to chaperon and help her in her
chosen profession.
The Glyder family is widely known in
Baltimore, where they have resided fol-
30 years, or since their arrival in this
country from France as the first Ameri-
can representatives of Redfern of gowr
fame.

The Democratic Ticket

Like thousands of others, I had hoped
for Mr.. Underwood's nomination as the
democratic candidate for President, but
Wilson and Marshall make strong tick
ct, . said an old voter.
Few men have ever come SO quickly
into political prominence as Woodrow Will
son. He proved a good vote getter in
New Jersey. and I believe that he will
prove to be as popular with the democrats
and Independents in the country at large
as he was in his adopted state. Governor
Marshall of Indiana was first class presi-
dental timber. I know him personally.
He is an able lawyer. and like Governor
Wilson, he has been a close student of his
tory. Not often in my dag has either of
the great parties nominated ticket on
which both of the candidates were men of
scholarly attachments
I'VE hear it said that this is a demo-
cratic year. and so 1t should turn out to
be, but the democrats must not be over
confident. President Taft, in spite of his
mistakes and in spite of Roosevelts OPP
position, is stronger with the republican
party than he was four years ago. A
great slush fund will be raised for his
campaign. But IL the democratic party
will remain united they will win at the
polls next November"

Steam Rolling in Alabama

w. r. Farley, formerly federal
inspector, is the first
victim of the steam
roller in this state. He explained in a
letter addressed to The Age-Herald
that his fate was plainly foreshadowed
in letter he received from the Presi-
dents secretary, Mr.. Hilles. There
was no lack of funds. There was
simply lack of support on Mr.. Fair
ley's part for Mr.. Taft and an excess
of such support for the colonel.
Mr.. Farley says he intends to fight
it out on that line. He says the Sage
of Oyster Bay will be victorious, and
he as plainly says that William How
ard Taft will be driven ANONYMOUSLY
out of office. The democrats are
standing by watching the conflict
very much as the old woman watched
the fight between the bear and her
husband. The steam roller is to be
used, it is plain, in every state until
the officeholders are all lined up in
support of the Taft ticket.

NO TIME FOR NEW PARTY

From Leslie's.
The republican party became a great
and permanent national organization
because it met vital national need in
the only way in which it could be met.
The issue which created that party
was so sharp and so portentous that
the people We're compelled to vote yes
or no upon it. and to do this imme-
diately.
Colonel Roosevelt who has as good
a knowledge of American history as
any other man, will find, as he takes
"a glance over the records, that the
situation in 1912 is far less convuls.ve
than was that of 1854. and thus far
less favorable for the formation of a
new party which can live. A party
which will live cannot be made to or
der by pronunciamento by a few poll
ticians or by the ukase of a convention.
It must spring from conditions which
appeal to the Imagination of men all
over the country and which must be
met Immediately Mr.. Roosevelt's pro-
gressive party, like the liberal republic
loan, the greepback, the populist and
other minor organizations, will run a
swift and possibly turbulent course and
will leave no impress of any conse-
quence on the surface of affairs. Meth
er the republican nor the democratic
party has anything to fear from the
new political sect.

GABy AND THE CRITIC
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

II iOiil THO liopdlShs
Gaby Deslys, the French dancer, who
has been credited with assisting the Por-
tuguese In establishing a republic. has
found another way of advertising herself.
She has begun suit against the critic Of
Gil Bias because he declared she could
neither dance nor sing. The critic, on his
part, compliments Gaby on ner courage"
in forcing the issue to a test and says
he welcomes the suit because he feels as
sured the jury will agree with him and
the French music hall stage will thus be
freed from the chief symbol of the reign
of imbecility,' which he wishes to sweep
away.
But if ne really imagines that she has
any intention of being swept off the stage
should the jury decide against her, he
must be extremely unsophsticated for a
Paris critic. She takes no such risk. If
she should win her suit and the jury
should declare her qualified as dancer
or singer. or both, what better ADVERTISE
ment could she wish? If the jurors should
agree with the critic they could not COM
pei her withdrawal from the stage and
the attending notoriety would, of course
mpel the curious public to pay real money
for the chance to act as their own Jurors.
Instead, therefore, of freeing the stage
from "a spectacle of Supplying and sin
lister buffoonery," the critic has merely
succeeding in advertising 1t the more. If
suing critics is to become as popular
among stage stars as losing their dia-
monds, the critics may nave 10 take
refuge in ignoring "imbecility" Which,
after all, has been found the most effec-
tive method of eliminating it. 1t thrives
on notoriety, but soon willis without It.
