CORRECTION.

In q paragraph published last
week it was STATED that the Clark in-

Bradley property in the Riverside

an: one from Benjamin Har-

New York is the mother OF vice
presidents. having had ten out OF the
twenty-seven-Aaron Burr George
Clinton, Daniel ID. Tompkins, Martin
Van Buren,. Willard Fillmore, william
A. Wheeler, Chester A. Arthur, Levi
p Morton, Theodore Roosevelt and
James 8. Sherman.
OF these ten four succeeded to tho
presidency by reason OF death OF in
cumbents. The four were Van Buren,,
Fillmore, Arthur and Roosevelt.
II was a remarkable fact that at the
end OF President Roosevelt's term,
March 4. 1909. New York had had the
presidency about nineteen years out
OF the twenty-eight since the inaug-
uration Of President Garfield In 1881
the period covered by the White
House service OF Arthur, Cleveland
and Roosevelt.
Still more remarkable Is the fact
that at the end OF President Taft's
present term, March 4, 1913, New
York and Ohio will have had the pres
idency thirty-two out OF the thirty-six
years since the inauguration OF Hayes.
Probably most remarkable OF all il
the fact that Virginia, New York and
Ohio have held the presidency seven

ginning Of the goyernment!-Bufalo

The Swinging PEN
dululn Of Parties

We have been witnessing IN this
country-somewhat as In England and
elsewhere In the world where public
opinion rules through representative
government-two tendencies working
at the same time. One IL the tendency
to change the party In power; where
by conservatives are placed where
they must accept and promote the new
things that mark the growth Of civil
ization. Another movement, regard
less OF the oscillation OF the party
pendulum, Is the transformation that
goes on within the parties themselves.
Thus the present Tories IN England
are not only far In advance Of the old
time Wings, but they are fully abreast
of the Liberals or a generation ago.
AS for the present-day Liberal party,
II has become radical; 80 that its 40
cepted doctrines have outstripped tho
programs Of the extreme radical wing
OF the party that were accounted dan
gerous and socialistic only TWENTY-FIVE
years ago. In this country these two

quently been suggested as means
of fighting the high living costs. IL
has been recognized that goodly
part OF the living cost has been
brought about by the excessive cost
Of distribution and the many profits
consumed by that system. The adop-

course, affect the business and profits
OF some of the middlemen, and bring
changes In present systems, but the
consumer thinks he has long enough
been "the goat" He Is now In for
himself. Just as the middleman in
the tangled and cumbersome distribu-
ton system has been In for himself
and at the consumers expense.

NEW YORK, Dec. i.-The moss
wonderful acting ever sesn in New
York was witnessed at the Belasco
theater one recent afternoon.
II was the afternoon on which
David Belakco made his never-to-be-
forgotten production OF Tainted Phil

Abraham Goldknopf. Said Goldknopf
had charged that THE Woman" q

his play. which he had once sent TO
the Belasco Offices.
Belasco produced "The Woman. ~

cal people,
The principal parts in Tainted Phil
anthropy" were taken by Teresa MAX

Stills. Albert Bruning and Joseph Kill
gour. Not one OF them laughed once
during the afternoon. With the audi
ence bowling, shrieking. rolling from

lips, and while doing stunts that put
