QUITE so, BUT EVEN THE
 BLIND COULD SEE IT COMING

Amid the political settlements of the past week. but little attention was paid to an event in Congress of real ment that the House and the Senate had come to an agreement on the form of the Constitutional amendment pro- viding for the direct election of United States Senators. The question has been long in conference. AS the bill passed the Senate. it gave a certain amount of Federal control over the now exists in connection with the elec- tion of Representatives. That is to say, it reserved to Congress the right to inquire whether elections had been held in compliance with the law,wheth- CT any class of citizens had been dis franchsed, etc. Against all this, it will be remembered. some of the Southern Senators protested strongly, alleging the fear of new Force Bill, or something of the kind. This posi- tion was also taken, substantially, by the majority in the House. But Rep resentative Fucker announced last week that the committee of confer ence, of which he is a member, had de- cided to recede from the House view, and to accept the bill as it passed the Senate. It is expected that the for mai report will be made this week and final action taken. There thus ap- pears to be no doubt that the new Constitutional amendment will soon be submitted to the States for ratifica- ton, and that, in due time, We shall have the direct election of Senators es- tablished as the law of the land. Ten years ago. such a step would have been regarded as not only impossible but revolutionary. But we have been getting accustomed to revoIutions.- New York Evening Post

POLES

Polls theatre is the mecca of all amusement seekers this week and the popular playhouse is daily turning them away because of the great sue latest production, 'The Milk Inspec- tor,'' the bright local satirical and musical play which marks the 18th anniversary or Crystal jubilee of the Sperry productions in this city.
 Bridgeport papers are unanimous in the best ever produced under the au- spices of MT. Sperry and his company of players as well-headed by MT. Sperry and Miss Hattie l.. Steinbach- the best that ever appeared in a To- cal production.
 Inspector" pursues it's bright and ami mated way, unloosening a, flood of To- cal jests and allusions en route, and pausing for the cleverest of vaude- ville and musical Interruptions.
 The playlet within the play, .:The for the benefit of the Stratford fire department is Sperry masterpiece and fairly brings tears of laughter to the eyes of every audience Ten twent-Thirt melodrama was never burlesqued to T until MT. sperry which by itself is good enough to make a headline vaudeville act.
 Then the specialties within the play must not be forgotten-''Hiram Bee, the mayor Of Stratford as imperson- ated by Charles Jewett makes a big hit each performance in his Hiram Bee'' song, written by John J. Ray holds. Miss Elsie Thrall and Lee Lownds introduce a beautiful ballad: Charles E. Dickerson has one of his very best "rube'' parodies and imper- sonations: MT. Sperry and Miss Stein bach do a great imitation of Kelly & Marshall, and throughout the per- formance there is never dull mo- ment nor is the audience left for any appreciable length of time without something to amuse them in progress on th stage.
 The Milk Inspector gives to ,Bridgeporters the opportunity of see ing an all star cast of Bridgeport per- formers in one Of the brightest plays ever written about local subjects and containing local hits. While the scene is laid in Stratford, the audience has no difficulty in recognizing the allu- sions to Bridgeport affairs and the laughs on this score are many and hearty.

Tn view of this fact, seats for the remaining performances should be ordered early-and better yet, pocketed early. "A ticket in the hand is worth two you think are in the box office

EXHIBIT OF WORK
 OF STUDENTS IN
 MANUAL TRAINING

Tn the High School on Friday even- ing from 7:30 to 9:30 and Saturday afternoon from to 5 and Saturday evening from 7:30 to 9:30, there will be an exhibition of household articles and furniture made by the public school boys in the manual training shop.
 The boys are required to make their own drawings, order their own lum- Der and construct the several articles themselves. They are finished in the craftsman style and are worthy of the closest inspection.
 The city officials and the general public are most cordially invited to at tend and see for themselves what training the boys are getting. The exhibition ought to be attractive to the parents, as what other boys have done, their boys can do, and many articles of furniture can be made by a boy at a far less cost than 1t can be purchas- ed in any store. Then too there is just pride in knowing my boy did it..

A LETTER TAFT GOT.

Or. John Wesley Hill at Tacoma.)
 I have known him to keep men of affairs, representatives of state, wait ing for an hour in order to give op- portunity to a broken hearted mother to tell the story of her grief and to receive comfort and proffered l1elIi from the great President. Only few weeks ago a little Polish girl wrote him from Erie, Pa, saying: Dear MT. President: Myself, sisters. and little brother are cold and hungry. Two days ago mother was taken from us. She is in jail We are without food We have no wood. We are starving and dying. Dear MT. President won't you help us?'
 What did the President do? Push that letter aside? Excuse himself upon the ground of dignity or pre-oc- cupatiOn? No. He answered the letter with his own hand, enclosed a crisp bill sent it to the little girl, tele- graphed the authorities at Erie, who investigated the case, and before sun down returned the mother to her sor- rowing children.
