 Knenf-

Town Clerk F'enton has decided to accept Governor BaTdwin's appoint ment as deputy judge of the Williman- tic police court. Judge Fenton's friends think his decision a serious political mistake in view of his holding one lucrative town office and in the face of his having supported Lawyer P. J. Danahey for the oce Political pro- phets think Deputy Judge Fenton's ap- pointment may be the stepping stone to the city court judgeship if Judge Shea feels the pressure of opposition to his holding too many offices two years hence, d situation that would also confront the present deputy judge if it is found his appointment is legal, which is still an open question

The old-fashioned rural drama Tn

scored a success. drew notable au-

night, including President Wilson. II
was also the occasion of a benefit fol
the National Woman's Suffrage AS
sciation, and the house was filled with
Washington suffragists. - T..
'In Mizzoura'' is the sort of drama
that does not seem to grow old. In
this plan Augustus Thomas brings out
plain characters of type the people
like. The story of Jim Radburn. The
sheriff of Pike county, Mo-, who fur.
nished the money to educate the girl
he loved, only to see her grow out OF
his life, was well told by tile Columbia

The cast was well balanced and made
the most of the opportunities giv,n
