Majestic

The best attraction of the year is al the Majestic theatre and the cosy little Third avenue playhouse will undoubtedly play to capacity at every performance. throughout the week. Yesterday three audiences witnessed the tabloid version of that sparkling musical comedy "A Winning Miss
 "A Winning Miss short time ago was playing the two dollar theatres. but the present producer had the play cut down for vaudeville and in the cutting down process all semblance of a plot was thrown out and only the tuneful num- bers and some bits of comedy left in. However, this musical melange proved very diverting and is far above anything that has been put on at the Majestic this season.
 The company presenting "A Winning Miss was numerous and their work was very pleasing taken as whole The chorus was rather pretty and their sing ing and dancing was above the average The comedy honors fell to Miss Minnie Willard, who played "Anastasia May a would-be actress Her work all through the performance was q very clever hu- morous portrayal and her makeup could note quite disguise the fact that Miss Willard was an exceedingly comedy young woman.

 to work for democratic success next Mo-
 vember. Governor Woodrow Wilson af-
 ter the meeting discussed his attitude
 on the subject. He said:
 The democratic platform is much the | strongest, most direct and explicit in
 the question of public hygiene and pure
 food. The conference which l attended
 was to organize and develop that side of | the campaign I expect to make the 1 question of the proper regulation of pub lie health and pure food one of the prin- cipal features of my campaign" | Governor Wilson after the conference went to democratic Headquarters There is spread before himself big map of the United States. and With several party | leaders sought to plan a new speaking itinerary. He listened attentvely to many suggestions and took many notes. From , these he will form an itinerary during the next few days
 Representative Burleson from Texas. Senator Gore from Oklahoma and Jose phus Daniels of North Carolina dis cussed with the governor further plans for speaking. From the number of re- quests which have been coming in from the middle west asking the presidential candidates presence at various meetings It is apparent that Governor Wilson probably will do much more speaking Llu0 nt l1ltilutu OiiBlidliN.

 Speaks on Tariff Governor Wilson made two tariff speeches, one at the tariff exhibit and the other at an open air meeting in Un- ion Square At the tariff exhibit Gov ernor Wilson said.
 We are preventing the prosperity o' the United States, for you will observe articles of American manufacture are sold much cheaper in other countries than we can buy them here. which shows that America already is able to compete in foreign markets at the same time taxing ourselves"
 To his audience In Union Square Gov ernor Wilson said:
 ''I would hesitate to advocate radical reductions in our tariff schedules if [ thought 1T would interfere with the pros- perity of the average American, but [ believe 1t will double and treble our prosperity"
 Governor Wilson declared that in the
 main protected industries paid less wages than unprotected industries Speaking further on the tariff Gov ernor Wilson pointed 10 an advance of from p to 40 per cent in the price of meat within the last ten years and ta the fact that in inc same period the price of meat ir London had stood ab- solutely still.
 And England is not big enopgh to pro duce the meat she consumes" he said but has to get if frrm America and South Africa and in spite of that she buys American meat in London 70 or 70 per cent cheaper thar We buy in New York. Don't you think somebody is put ting 1t over us?''

United States. There are some demo- crats in 1t, some near democrats, some republicans. and some ex-republicans. and fl has been a gamblers chance whether they would get together on anything or not It has been difficult to guess after bill passed the House of Representatives exactly what was go- ing to happen to 1t when 1t got Into the Senate, and the roll call in the sey- eral votes has seldom showed the same list of names.
 Now, suppose you had a House of Representatives mixed like the present Senate, 1 think we could all go fishing for the next two years. And if at the same time you had leader insistant upon certain policies. l think the air would be full of clamorous voices, but the statute book would be very empty of fulfilled promises-not because, 1t may be, nobody was trying to fulfill the promises, but because everybody was trying 10 fulfll a different promise.
 Legalize Monopoly
 But the most certain impeachment to progress l have not yet spoken of. The new party does not even propose to clear the decks and set the govern ment free to actuate the central pro- posal of it's actual programme Is to legalize monopoly. Instead of defeat lnRt lnSltdu Ol ItN1Sin6 anu itHit'9 ing, the evil things that have been done under tho mistaken leadership of the regular republican leaders, 1t pro- poses that the results of their mistakes shall be legalized and made regular by being taken under the direct superVis- ion of the government of the United States. Whatever may be the philan- thropic purpose of certain parts of It's programme, the inevitable result of oil l,., firm by law the partnership between great trusts and the federal govern ment. l do not say that this Is what the leaders of the new party expect or propose. but merely that that Is what will happen, which 1t must happen under such a plan. There has been history of the human race, you know, and a history of government II is re- corded; and the kind of thing they propose has always led to the results which l have predicted.
 Democratic Party Left
 Then you have only the democratic party left; and you will ask me how can set up a claim for the democratic party. Well. in the first place, It IS rather a fine discipline to have been on the outside for sixteen years. You have not intrusted the government of the United States to the democratic party because the democratic party has been opposed all these years to the things that the republican leaders were doina Is not that a statement of mere fact? Haven't we been attacking them and op- posing them all these years. and propos- ing programmes that once looked radi- cal and now look reasonable? We have not just begun being progressive. We have been progressive for sixteen years and we saw the year 1912 half a genera ton before 1t came. Are you going to give us no credit for vision? DO you not think it counts for something to stay out in the cold on a conviction for six teen years?

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Hand Clasp,

1t was one o'clock. Blair called q
him to the Carlton, and leaning back
in the vehicle he breathed long sigh.
He looked like his father. but he
didn't know it. He felt old. He was
man and a tired one and free one,
and the sense Of this liberty began to
refresh him like breeze over parched
sand. He thought over what he had
left for second. stopped longest in
plying Galorey. then went into the
Carlton restaurant to order some sup
per, for he began to feel the need Of
food. He had not time to drink. his
wine and partake Of the cold pheasant
before he saw that opposite him the
two people who had taken their table
were Lefty Lane and Poniotowsky.
The woman's slender back was turned
to Blair. and his heart gave leap of
pain at the sight Of the man with her,
and the cruel suffering began again.
Dan gave up the idea Of eating:
drank a whole bottle of champagne,
then pushed 1t away from him vio.
lently. Hold up" he told himself,
you're getting dangerous; this drink
ing won't do" So he sat drumming
on the table looking into the air.
When those two got up to go. how
ever, he would go with them; that was
sure. He could never see them 70
out together again; no-no-no! As
his brain grew bit clearer he saw
that they were having a heated dis
cussion between them, and as the
room emptied finally. save for them
selves, Dan, though he could not hear
what Poniotowsky said, understood
that he was urging something which
the girl did not wish to grant. When
they left he rose as well. and at the
door Of the restaurant the actress and
her companion paused. and Dan saw
her face. deadly pale. There were
tears in her eyes.
