Business Getting Scared.

For the welfare of the country. /
is sincerely hoped that Democrat
tariff tinkering soon to begin may
be of such a kind as not to bring on
a panic. II that result is attained,
it will be something new in the ma
tons history. The country has
never had confidence in the Demo-
cratic party's ability to deal with
the tariff question and there is no
use denying the fact that there is
a fear prevalent nov. OF this scare
the Wheeling Intelligencer says:
President Wilson has made it
plain that he considers the tariff
question the real work that is to
come before, the special session. His
idea is a revision downward along
lines thta will produce revenue only,
and not necessarily provide for in
cideatal protection. In the past ag-
itatic'1 of this kind has always Gre
ated considerable disturbance in
business and unsettled conditions
generally. When the Democrats
carried the election it was generally
understood that it meant a revision
of the tariff, probably along drastic
Lines approaching free trade.
In the face OF all this the country
maintained its composure, and bust
ess went right ahead in a manner
that was apparently normal. This,
however was not an Indication OF the
absolute confidence of the business
world in Democracy and its leaders,
but came from the influence OF the
splendid conditions which prevailed
as result of the wise policies of
the Republican party, not only re-
garding the tariff. but along all
Lines OF administration.
New York is attempting a display
Ct nerve that might be mistaken fo-
confidence, but it will not bear close
inspection nor careful analysis. TOO
many of the New York forecasts of
the near future which are really
sincere efforts to appear optimistic
read between the lines very much
like a desperate assertion that I'VE
are not scared one bit" The scare
tremor is So apparent that the lines
almost zig-zag. The country does
not have absolute confidence in De-
mocracy, and there is no use to at
tempt to disguise the fact.

nnL wlll remain atrong and vlg0r:
Justifies Mr. Taft.

Passing events continue to demon
strate that President Taft was not
such blockhead as Democratic
campaign orators have tried to
paint him.
The latest evidence OF the kind is
President Wilson's announcement OF
what the foreign policies Of his adj
ministration ARE to be. 1T is a yir-
tual reaflrmation of the Taft pol
icies and serves notice upon the
turbulent elements OF the Latin
American countries that the United
States will insist upon law, order
and constitutional government in
the southern republics. In the last
campaign It was said to be almost a
crime for Taft or for anybody else to
stick closely to constitutional gov
eminent; but times and conditions
change, you know, and there is 2
difference between seeing the pie
and eating it.
IT should be hoped that there will
be more regard for constitutional
government during the present ad-
ministration than there was dis
played by its advocates during the
last campaign.

the great historical reproductions OF

Dion O'Dare, being Irish, had large

enchanted with two or three enchanting
young women in rapid succession. Being
musical comedy hero. he was pos.

the cast. Mr. DAILY plays the hero after
the fashion of Andrew Mack and

"Over the River" revised version in
fresh, bright form and better than on
its first appearance. opened a week s
engagement last night at the Columbia
Theater, with Eddie Foy. the grotesque-
ly ludicrous. in the star role.
The piece in its new garb is scarcely
recognizable. 1t is far better than the
old version: it has snap and life, and
gayety. Eddie Foy. not quite as nimble
as in other years, but not a whit less
humorous and entertaining, carried the
honors as the convict, doing bit lover

over to a cabaret show, with plenty OF
dash and spirit, furnishing a musical
comedy show on a small scale. Dance
features and songs in this section de-
lighted the large audience and prepared
the way for Eddie Foy's extremely
funny term in jail.
"Over the River is a gay and bright
without any Objectionable features.

make of the piece an immediate hit, II
anything more than Eddie Foys en-
tertaining and extremely funny actlns
is necessary for hit. The eight Ber-

and won hearty applause in pony bal
let. Betty Fuchs, Frieda, and Hilda
Hirsch displayed acrobatic ability In
their entertaining dances, while James
Davis and Pearl Matthews captivated
the audience with whirlwind dancing.
The farce has been renovated, 50 to
speak, under George V. Hobart and H.

under John L. Golden. Eddie Foy is
the natural center of attraction. and
praiseworthy work in the supporting
cast is done by william Sellery. David

ANOTHER TRIUMPH
SCORED BY 'K|SNET'
At NEW NATIONAL
Otis Skinner and Company Are
Well Received in Novelty
of Drama.

sKismet," prominent in last seasons
novelties in drama. has returned to
Washington this week to exude its
subtle Arabian fragrance and its
haunting echoes of the Thousand and
One Nights. The production, which
again is to be seen at the National
Theater, is the same as last seasons.
Otis Skinner still portrays the beg
gar, Hail. a role which easily is the
most remarkabl creation of the con-
temporary stage, and is a real tri-
umph of the art of acting.
Since "Kismet' was seen here more
than year ago its fame has spread
across the continent, and it has won
a place higher than that of its lead
ing rival in the realm of spectacle
plays. The Garden of Allah" The
Washington verdict has been more
than confirmed. To describe the Won
derful variety of its appeal, which
seems at one moment to be based
mainly on its luxuriance of Oriental
fantasy and that curious coTpound
OF deviltry whom the playwright
eaile Hail, and at another through its
hewt1dering riot of scenery and color.
would be an unnecessary task on the
occasion of its second visit here.
Is Curious Tale.
"Kismet" is an extra illustrated'' edi-
ton Of the Arabian Nights In the style
of Maxfield Parrish, a series of pos
turings largely in profile effect. Its
curious tale has caught the spirit OF
Oriental fatalism and succeeded to q
rare degree in making it a moving, iiv-
ing. vital thing in projecting II across
the footlights. Hail. 1.-The Plaything oi
Fate is the creature and the instru.
ment of a myriad emotions, mainly
sinister, the only ray of light in the
morass of his soul being his desire tc
avenge the assumed betrayal of his
daughter Marsinah.
The turbulent twenty-four hours in
old Bagdad, In which Hail ends day
exiled without the city gates. and vel
is not ungrateful to his master. Fate
for the bounties which have been be-
slowed upon him, constitute a poig-
nantly vivid and picturesque picture
The poetic Arabian charm of the play
js not swamped by its scenic splendor
nor is Otis SINNERS acting. This mas.
terpiece of the Thespian's art, which
leaps from KEY to key with the striking
flashing effectiveness of piano vir-
tuoso In a Beethoven concerto, must bt
seen second and 8 third time to be
appreciated for what it is worth.
Cast Is Strong.
Hamilton Revelle is again to be seen
In the role of the Wazir Mansur. and
Miss Rita Jolivet plays Marsinah as in
the production of year ago. The cast
leaves nothing to be desired. and the
famous scene in the hammam of Man.
sur's mansion. in which Hail. mingding
murder with climax of torture. counts
the bubbles as they arise to the sur
face of the pool from the CHOKING;
throat of Mansur, is enacted with its
wealth of picturesque detail and horror.
"Kismet''is one of the supreme events
of the season. On a merely commercial
basis, 1t gives tenfold more for the
money than the average dramatic Of
fering can possibly do. for 1t combines
acting of the rarest and highest type
with dramatic strength and spectacular
vtrtuosity.
