IlT WONDER why it is that l am

a nice sympathetic part?" Thus spoke
Miss Harris. who plays Mrs. D'Aquila
in The Whip" the pleasing character
who plans to wreck a train or kill a
few people as easily and naturally as
you and l would order our dinner.
OF course, Miss Leonore Harris is a
very handsome woman. The stage viii
lainess always is supremely beautiful;
that's what makes it interesting. Miss
Harris has blue black hair and pale
creamy complexion; she is tall and
slight and willowy, and in pink tea
gown with a little boudoir cap on her
head she suggested anything but the
deep-dyed villainy of her stage life.
Likes To Be Kissed.
Il am the most Kissed woman on the
stage" Miss Harris confessed with evil
dent pride. 1.-The Whip is such an ex-
citing melodrama that people seem to
hold their breath between the scenes
and they don't applaud until at the end
of the third act. The rest is a good
deal like performance of Parsifar at
the opera You don't hear a murmur,
but at the end of the third act we all
cross the stage and get our share of ap-
plause and Kisses in the good old-fash-
toned melodrama way.

Missed and booed during my passage
across the stage. Still, you know, l do
long to play a sympathetic part, and I
hope some day that my reward will be

Are You Blonde or Brunette
1t Depends Upon the Weather

In the Philippines blondes suffer more
than brunettes. They break down and
become victims of neurasthenia in much
larger numbers.
In European cities the percentage OF
brunettes is greater than in the sur
rounding country districts. The light
and glare of the city. in comparison with
the shaded streets and the foliage in
the country. make the former unfavor-
able to the blonde.
AnthropolOgists tell us that even in
our American cities the brunettes are
gaining. That might be explained by
the fact that our cities are made up
largely from foreigners who belonged
originally to the brunette type.
Interesting observations have been
made among our soldiers. The cloud
lest part OF our country Is the North
west. There il is found that Tut only
;lo blondes maintain their own better.
but the soldiers as a whole show the
lowest sick ant death rate.

HUERTA'S "ULTIMATUM."

1t would be impossible, if General Huerta were
anything like conventional public man. to believe
the story that ne had sent something like an ultima
tum to the Washington Government. But Huerta is
anything other than conventional 1t is alleged that
he has taken steps to notify this Government that
unless it recognizes him, he will be unable to con-
duct any save urgent business relations with the
American ambassador.
The Washington Administration will nardly take
grave offense at the snub, and assureoiy VIII not
change its policy because of such threat Huerta
government needs money, and cannot get it while
Washington withhods its countenance. Washington
IS lust now more deeply concerned about Mexico
than it cares publicly to admit 1t is not hurrying'

recognize the situation in which he is really very
small figure but the situation is SO big that no such
insignificant figure can possibly influence IT very

New Haven. Conn
From opinions and facts gathered in

concise account of what the trainers

new form of Government
Constitutional lawyers. statesmen.

as well, and that no so-called final

WEST VIRGINIA PEoNAGE.

If even a moiety Of the charges concerning con-
ditions in the West Virginia coal fields have basis Of
fact there should be no uncertainty about Congress
ordering thorough investigation, as Senator Kern
has demanded. This is bigger broader AFFAIR than
merely consideration of the strike situation Of the
last few months, in few limited coal fields. The
charges which are made, and buttressed by most
convincing exparte evidence such as to startle
everybody who looks into them. II is alleged that
within recent months carloads Of men, practically
shangtaied in New York and other cities have been
hauled right through Washington, under guard des-
tined to work under conditions tantamount to peon-
age, in the mines II will be testified that men were
enlisted under promises Of wages, working condl-
tions, etc. that were utterly dishonest; that as soon
as they agreed to 20 to the coal fields, they were
huddled into boxcars, securely locked in placed
under heavily armed guards, and rushed through to
destinations, frequently entirely different from those
to which they had intended to ship. Arrived there,
tney we're still held under guard they were treated
exactly like convicts in Siberian gang; efforts to
escape resulted in their being beat up by guards,
or shot They we're underpaid for their work, and
compelled to trade at extortonate company stores,
where they never had a chance to do better than
re up increasing obligations that their wages would
not pay.
More than all this, it will be charged that young
women were enlisted at various places in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, under similarly false representa-
tions as to the employment and wages that would be
afforded them, and carried away to lives of the most
degrading shame in these mining camps. 1t is
charged that the business of shanghaiing and hold
ing women was conducted just about as brutaly and
viciously as in the case Of the men.
These conditions are alleged to have grown up
in the last twenty years, and to have become part
of te settled social and industrial situation in West
Virginia 1t is well-ngh impossible to believe the
half of the horrors that are charged If they are not
entitled to belief West Virginia ought to have its
fair name cleared of the imputation they put upon
it; it they are true, industrial plague spot ought
to be cleared up.

Secretary Red6eld's announcement OF his plan
is the first direct confession we have Observed that
the Government had equipped itself with such
corps of business geniuses. Until now, there has
never been any claim to this endowment Of business
acumen and omniscience in the Government. There
is some temptation to wonder where, in the few
weeks he has been mead of the department, the Sec

THE FRIEDMANN CURE.


On the whole, the experts of the Public Health
Service are certainly very consderate of Dr. Fried
mann in the report which was laid before the Ma
fional Association for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis on Friday. They have been careful not
10 confound the methods of Dr. friedman with the
cure for which he makes such large claims. IT
Judgment were to be based entirely on the conduct
md the performances of the German doctor since
he has been in this country condemnation would
pretty certainly be meted to him in no easy terms
But there is yet the possibility that though his ethics
seem inexcusable and his publicity methods suggest
more ambition for wealth than for service OF hui
mainly, yet it is still possible that his cure may be
Ill or an important part of what he claims for it.
The presumption is against that conclusion; but the
scientists are not willing to base conviction on mere
presumption.
All the world must hope that DR.. Friedmanns
medicine will prove better than his manners. We
want tuberculosis cure, and whether its discoverer
makes fortune out of it is rather minor affair.
But if the cure shall after all prove the real thing it
must be said that its discoverer has thus far dis
counted its value a good deal by his management

THE POTTERY INVESTIGATION.

The pottery makers in Ohio protesting against
the reduction of tariff duties articles with which
they must compete, have Sentured the opinion that
they might be forced to suspend operations. There
upon the Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Redfeld, has
ordered an investigation of this industry through the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Mr..
Redfeld explains that the purpose is to learn the
whole truth: mot only that portion OF it which it
may be thought wise by the operators to make public.
and not only that part which could be used in any
public controversy by anyone in interest. If
conditions prevail which hinder efficiency and add
TO cost diminish the product reduce the quality,
the department wishes to find them out-not to eX-
rloit them but to aid in their removal
This and more to like effect indicates clearly
mat the plan is, as suggested by Mr.. Underwood
from the House floor, to investigate any industry
which claims it is distressed by the removal Of duties
tion is to be none friendly in its character Seem
ineiy. the industry which closes a shop or reduces
wages following the tariff enactment going to be
under the suspicion of attempting industrial suicide
from motives of spite.
There may be some business men who would
do that II will be interesting to learn if the Bureau
Of Commerce shall discover any Of them. But for
the present is not necessary to consider the prob
abilities of such thing Neither is it important to
discuss this new function of the Government, as an
instructor, guide. and counselor in industrial ef-
fciency. People who have studied somewhat the
comparative costs of industrial performance by the
Government and by private enterprise, may be
tempted to smile at the notion OF Government Is.
