pointment earlier In the day, formally
received most of the diplomatic corps
in his Office at the state department.
the secretary made felicitous speech
advising the corps, in the name of
President Wilson, of the earnest de-
sire of the administration to strength
en- the relations between the United
States and other members of the great
family of nations, and spoke in an
optimistic way of the possibility of
accomplishing that result through the
application of the principles of JUS
tice and equity in International deal
ings. Ambassador Jusserand, the
dean of the corps, replied in respon-
sive strain and then personally pre-
sented the members OF the diplomatic
body to the new secretary of state.
They were particularly impressed by
Mr.. Bryan's earnest appeal to them to
call upon him personally and without
restraint whenever they felt that the
relations between their government
and the United States demanded
speedy consideration and action.

The Washington ID. c. Post says:
While President Wilson already has
dispensed with some of the formalities
which hitherto have been observed by
occupants of the White House, he de-
monstrated recently that he would OBJ
serve rigidly the International ameni-
ties. of his Office. Probably the most
formal ceremony in which Mr.. Wilson
has ever participated was his presen-
tation to the diplomatic corps accreci-
ted to Washington by the civilized
nations of the world. In semi-circle
of brilliant color, their uniforms gild-
ed profusely with the insignia of
their rank, lag foreign representatives
stood in impressive silencs--while the
new president of the United States
and the secretary OF state, William J.
Bryan, entered through the big doors
of the east room. The president and
Secretary Bryan wore the convention
al frock suits of formal occasion in
America. The president was accom-
panied by his cheif aid, Col. Spencer
Cosby, and his personal aid, Major
Thomas l.. Rhoades, both in the full
dress uniform of the American army.
On each side of the entrance six
White House aids, three from the
army and three from the navy, stood
ut attention. In groups Of six and
eight. the diplomats and their staffs
were arranged. Chandler Hale, third
assistant secretary OF state, presented
the president, first to Ambassador
Jusserand, of France, dean of the dip
lomatic corps. Secretary Bryan was
presented with similar ceremony. To
each diplomat the president spoke u
few words but the ceremony was quite
formal. After the president had met
individually the circle of diplomats,
lie addressed them briefly, expressing
the hope for the continuance of ami
cable relations between this nation
and their respective countries and in
dulging the wish that their, service in,
Washington might be .psTsonably en-
joyably. The corps was entertained
at tea ut the White House with the
members of their. families, when Mrs.

the front us one of the liveliest sub
jects for consideration by the present
congress as soon as tariff legislation
is disposed of. Already new align
ment of conservation and anticonser-
vation forces is becoming evident,
with indications that congress will
pass measures to restrict some of the
practices in the administration of the
public domain under Pinchot conser-
vation plan, provided these practices
are not changed sooner by the depart
ment of the interior with the consent
and cooperation of President Wilson.
The people of the East are beginning
to realize that the West does not OBJ
ject SO much to the theory of conser-
vation as to some of the retarding
policies adopted under the guise of
conservation. Several Eastern and
Southern congressman, who have here
tofore been stanch conservationists,
have taken issue with the manner in
which the public lands have been ad-
ministered in the last decade and are
advocating less stringent regulations
which will aid rather than retard the

President Wilson, though conser-

of state rights and in the administrn-
tion of the public domain so as to de-
velope it as rapidly as possible with
out permitting it to come under the
control of comparatively few wealthy
persons and corporations. Senator
Bankhead, of Alabama, is in sympa-
thy with the majority of the senator's
from the public land states, holding
that the policy of Withholding the re-

of beneficial.

ON THE FIRING LINE:

standing committee on finance,
which will have charge of tariff
Legislation in the upper body,
serving in the same capacity as
the committee on ways and
means in the house. This APP,
poir tment is a signal honor to a
new member. The senate f.
nance committee is the principal
committee in congress.
It is very well known what the
house committee will do with
reference TO tariff schedules in
which West has interest, and it
is equally well known what the
house as a whole will do in the
matter-it will pass the Under
weod-C Clark measures passed a
year ago. It may be remember
ed that " hen these tariff redu->
cling bills passed the house the
people of Colorado took alarm
and commercial bodies entered
the political arena, A republic
can executive at that time block
ed the house program.
The situation is different this
season. The senate is democrat
ic and the executive is demc-
cratic.
A great responsibility rests up
on Senator Thomas. He will be
in position where he can battle
for the interests of his state, or
he may forget Colorado and wor-
ship at the footstoo ] of his party.
Certain democratic senators have
declared thus early that while
they are for tariff revision. all
right. they are not going to ruin
their home industries. Louis

Colorado in preserving the home
sugar industry from the assault
Of the sugar trust, which is for
free importation of raw sugar;

belt are also making reservations
respecting free lumber. !"

Bought and Paid For" Finished

Bought and Paid For has finished
its London career, although it will be
taken into the provinces by Lyn Hard
ing. 1t is hard to account for the com
parative failure of this play. Finer
notices were seldom written of a play
than those with which the critics greet
ed Broadhursts drama. But despite
the fine send off, at no time in it's short
career was capacity business done. It
just seemed to drag along, tempting the
nagement to keep 1t going in tho
hopes of business picking up. Now, with
the coming of the warm weather, Allan
Aynesworth is wise in closing the doors
of the New theatre and going for a long
rest and holiday.
Aynesworth is by no means through
with actor management however, and
the fall will see him in possession of
another West End theatre and probably
another Brady production imported
from the United States. 1t is a strong
combination and with perseverance
should pull through.

mediately there was a scramble for his
position. Frank Allen, who had been
with Moss ever since he started in a
small way in the music hall business,
was the natural successor, but de Cour-
Vile, with some powerful but myster-
ious influence behind him, made fight
for 1t. 1t is said that the source of his
hold on the company is the financial
backing of Sir Thomas Upton, which he
controls. However that may be, Allen
won and de Courville kept the position
of assistant to the managing director
But although he did not yin the empty
crown he has given every evidence since
that he has captured all the powers.
He soon came into conflict with big
artists. When he was putting on
