As far as Weinert Is concerned,
really believe he meant TO fight on
the level once he got In the ring, but
there is a lurking suspicion that
Charley has more or less OF fear
that Savage might prove to be his
master. He isn't afraid, OF course, for
Weinert ie as game az the next one,
but he would rather be beaten by any
other man in the world than Jim Saw
age. That is about the worst kind OF
a feeling for an athlete to have. Jim
Jeffries was troubled with il at Reno
and everybody knows how jeff made
out. However, according to all the
laws Of boxing, Weinert ought to be
able to conquer Savage. II is his
birthday today and he is Just nine
teen years of age. He Is full OF youth
and full OF fire and vim and ambition.
He is not fully matured, of course,
but he has developed sufficiently to be
able to take care of himself against
almost any man In ring engagement
of ten rounds. He is clever and he is
learning how to hit. He has several
important advantages over Savage,
and before a blow is struck he should
be the logical winner. But with all
the best OF 1t In numerous ways.
Weinert would not figure to have a
ghost OF a show with Savage II
Charley is afraid OF him. That is the
question. and the Savage people say
that Jim has chariey's number.

of the Democratic lobby investigation.
If. the Democratic party loses ~ mem
bers in the fall election, 1t Will be
ousted from power in the House OF
representatives. The Repub lican

two years ago, was greater than that
of Democratic congressman elected III
10 districts. In fourteen congress
sional districts, Democratic congress-
men were elected by majorities of less

1t is these facts, together with the
big swing of Progressives back to the

is causing the gloom that pervades

One hundred and sixty-tWo
years ago toby the first theater
in the United States was opened
in the colony of Virginia at old

own company from overseas

philadelphia and the other lead
ing communities OF colonial
America each had their theatera.
At the close Of the century,
theaters were open in the capi%
tails of nearly all the thirteen
original states. While the Fir-
gilman playhouse was the first
in the United States. actors had
played In the. colonies before
this date. Inc first IS said to
have been the English strolling
player. Anthony Aston, who was
known. as Mat Medley. The ac-
tor and his art Of that day was;
generally despised by the Durt-
tanical colonists. The Massa-
chusetts legislature passed q
law shortly after amateurs had
given THE Orphans at the Cot
fee House in Boston in 1749,
which forbade such perform
ances, attaching a penalty for
actors and spectators alike of
pounds sterling cash. The OPP
position in Philadelphia was so
great that Hallam was compell-

Democratic outlook GLOOMY.

Now that the Democratic primaries
in the South are over, the Democratic
congressman are beginning to look
forward to fall elections. They are
finding. little consolation There are
large chunks of gloom these days In
the Democratic cloak room OF the
House of Representatives, where Dem
iocrats sit around and tell one another
the truth about the situation back
home.
The autocratic domination OF Press
Ifdent Wilson, In Forcing through leg
isIation he thought the country want
ed, but, which has proved highly UNI
popular with the people, has added
to Democratic disbursement: me
Underwood tariff has torn up busl-
ness generally. The blow at Amerl-
can interests through the canal Tolls
legislation is another unpopular act.
The proposal to apologize to Colon.
.bia. and pay her SIS. 100000 has not
set well with the American people
generally. The breaking of platform
pledges by the disruption of the merit
system by providing 100000 to
reward Democratic henchmen for po-
litical work is another thing that has
set the people, back home thinking.
The result of, all. this is heavy dis
affection among the Democrauc
ranks Coupled with this, Is the ter
rife Bull Moose slump the country
over. There has rot; been primary,
a bye-election, or q registration that
has not shown that the Bun Moose
party has gone all to pieces. For IN
stance, Ohio, which gave the head OF
the Progressive party ticket 229, 81
votes two years ago, gave Carneld,
the Progressive candidate for COVER
nor, only 8,lo7 in the primaries tne
other day. This is less than one
twenty-sixth of the vote cast Two
years ago.
The Democrats know very well the
progressives are going back to- the
Republican party. They also KNOW
disgruntled Democrats are gong 70
vote where their VOTES win have the
eraatest force. That means they Will
vote the Republican ticket. So 1t Is
these facts that have thrown such u
scare into the Democrats. It Is
not a theory that con-
fronts them.
The people generally know by the
feel of things there is trouble aneau
for the Democratic party. Democrat
IL coNpressmen, themselves have TINS
.shunch, y but what makes it worse IS
that they are now hearing from nelr
constituents who are writing ietters
in NO uncertain terms. To make II
still worse; the Democrats IN Con-
gress have been doing little hgurlng
on what actually happened two years
ago. They know many Democrats
were elected to Congress Wnoliy
through Republicans who voteos VIII
tbs AM Moose and also that 10
other Democrats were elected by dis
satisfied Republicans who voted the
STRAIGHT Democratic ticket to make
their protest more effective. But
