COMING MAR. 4

Mr.. Paul Gilmore in 1.-THE Havoc,
a play by H. S. Sheldon, which ran al
lest season in New York will be the
attraction at the Opera House next
Tuesday, March 4th.
This strong drama has gained espe-
cial distinction because of the fact that
it presents the new treatment of the
triangle" problem Its very title is
due to it's uncompromising revelation
of THE Havoc" that remains when
the flames of a guilty passion have
burned away From the wreck of do
nestle happiness thus created energies
central figure of the sincerest
strength, the husband of the story s
faithless wife, and the daring novelty
of an old themes new handling is
found in this husbands action when
he discovers that his wife has love-,
and instantly adopts a means of pun
iahment far more effective than an
appeal to the 'unwritten law" M.
Paul Gilmore gives a powerful por-
trayal of this role of Richard Craig,
the wronged husband, and is supported
by players specially chosen for high
artistic quality.

FREQUENT VISITS
TO THE CAPITOL
BY PRESIDENT
WILSON GOING There DAILY
Has An Office There and
viii Occupy 1t

Washington, D. c., Feb 27-Livei '
discussion was precipitated in con-
gressional circles today by a pub
lished statement credited to Presi-
dent-elect Wilson, that he intended to
spend part of each working day in
the presidents room at the capital to
keep in closer touch with legislative
affairs Such action on the part Of
the president would overturn a prece-
dent which has restricted to the presi-
dents visit to the capitol to the last
hours of a session of congress.
Democratic leaders today discussed
the reported plan of Mr.. Wilson with
reluctance, though many seemed 70
favor it.
"If President Wilson wishes to
come to the capitol and advise with
congress he will be welcome" said
Senator O'Gorman.
"The closer the president and con-
gress can get in the transaction of
public business, the better it will be,
said Senator Pomerene, of Ohio His
expression was concurred in by SEN
ator Johnson, of Maine
The chief reason for the long es-
tablished precedent keeping the presi-
dent i'm the white house a mile awav
from tn capitol is said to be a sent-
ment in the house and senate to what
has been interpreted as presidential
encroachment" upon the freedom of
action of congress.
Some democratic leaders of the
senate said they believed Mr.. Wilson
would find it impossible to leave his
executive duties and visit the capitol
from day to day, and that he would
not find it so easy to confer over the
progress of legislation at the capitol
as at the white house. Some demo-
Gratis expressed the opinion that such
visits of president might not be re-
ceived with favor if he came to take
hand in shaping legislation.
Much will depend on what he
comes for" said Senator Tillman.
eff he comes to advise with us, we
shall be glad to have him; if he comes
to dictate to us, as do not believe he
would, we should not want him here.
When he has an opportunity to
study conditions at a closer range,
think he will change his mind about
coming"
Senators Fletcher, democrat, and
Burton, republican, spoke approving
ly of the plan.
I'VE shall be glad to have him; Z
will give us an opportunity to get
acquainted, said Mr.. Burton
1t is a good thing to do if the
president can spare the time. To have
7he president in his room at the CAPT
toll would greatly facilitate business,

THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT.

Theodore Dresser. in replying to a
question as to what he thought of the
feminist movement, gave it his en-.
dorsement in these words:
From my own point OF view, am a
friend to that movement. | am an in
tense individualist, and 1t seems to
me that the beauty and interest of
life will be increased in proportion
to the growing number of great In
.dividuals among women as we'll as
among men. believe that the fem
mist movement, taken as whole, has
a distinct tendency to strengthen and
enrich the individuality of woman.
I'm not propaganda in the
feminist cause or in any other cause
at present Reform has a
tendency to put all but the biggest
temperaments in cocksure intellect
ual attitude-and that attitude PUTS
one terribly out Of harmony with the
great underlying life forces. The
gods take their revenge on the cock

suaded they ought not to work SO

that they would retain their virtue II
their earning power were double or

TIE PARTY WILL CONE BACK.

James Boyle, secretary TO William
Mckinley, when ne was governor OF
Ohio, has discussed recently in news
paper articles, now gathered in pam
phlet. the question, will the Repub-
iican party come back
Mr.. Boyle argues from the fact OF
the impermanency Of the Progressive
movement that IT will His statement
bristles with statistics showing that
the vote of last November encour-
ages the Republicans TO hold on TO
what they have. while the figures of
later elections should inspire them to
greater effort. Roosevelt got more
votes than Taft In the national cleo
ton. But the Progressives elected
few members Of legislatures. The
election left the Republican party
with fifteen governors. The Progress
siyes have but three. and two OF these
were elected before the Progressive
party was formed.
It may be said In answer to this
that the Progressives were 80 late IN
the field that they lacked organiza
ton for the minor campaigns Well
and good. This should be admitted,
But they began organizing immedi-
ately after the election, and assured
the country they were now ready to
20 1t alone. What happened when
they tried it?
Last fall Roosevelt beat Taft two
to one in Chicago. This spring the
Republicans beat the Progressiyes
there three to one.
I st. Louis had spring election also.
Colonel Roosevelt called on his TWEEN
ty-fve thousand followers TO rally
around the Progressive candidate for
mayor. Only four thousand two hun
dred responded The Republican
ticket swept the city.
These were, it is true, only city
elections, but Michigan had spring
, election. This was state which
Roosevelt carried by sixty-two thou
sand over Taft. There was a regular
campaign among three parties for the
minor state Offices. Michigan swung
pack into the regular Republican
column, notwithstanding the lively
and confident campaign carried ON Nv
the Progressives. led by Beyeridaa
