Lack of Wholesome Recreation
 Cause of Delinquency of Girls
Organization of Protective Leagues Calculated to Furnish Healthful and Helpful Means of Enjoyment
 for these Young People.

In the fifth annual report of the New York Probation and Protection asso- citation, just made public, Justice AL fred R. Page, president of the organ ization, issues call for more workers. A clubhouse for girls inclined to moral weakness is also needed. -
 Girls protective leagues have been organized to obtain the help of girls in the moral protection of other girls Judge Page reports. There are now II, ore than twelve hundred girls work ing together in twenty-three different leagues for this purpose. The re- sponsibility felt by members of leagues for other girls, for raising the tone of conversation of their factories and workshops, and for improving moral conditions about them, indicates that they understand the true meaning and' spirit of the leagues.
 There is opportunity for great ex- tension of this protective league work to reach much larger group of girls. For this we need two more workers to devote their entire time to this work.
 We have found in the work of the Probation and Protection association one great evil one of the open doors through which girls are led from life of probity into one of delinquency is the lack of wholesome recreation. These girls work hard all day and their opportunities are limited for di- version. The dance hall is an opening. A suggestion for a supper or a sug- gestion to go to some pFace where other refreshments are served natural ly follows
 We do hope by the organization of these leagues to be enabled to furnish more rational, healthful and helpful

Alfred Cross Given a Fine Reception in
 "Our New Minister ;

Alfred Cross was given an enthusl- astic reception when he appeared on the efLyceum stage last evening in "Our New Minister There was large audience, made up mainly of friends and admirers and when he came in the handclapping started and he was obliged to bow several times before he could proceed with his lines. At the close of the second act the curtain calls were so numerous that MT. Cross stepped down to the footlights and said:
 My friends at least I hope I can call you my friends, when I left here last December it was with the hope that I would have the pleasure of playing before you again. The oppor- tunity has come sooner than l expect ed and here I am. Your greeting has made me very happy and believe mo l am very grateful"
 Our New Minister is not a new play to Lyceum theatergoers but it has an interesting story and it was worked out by the Players in most commendable manner. The minister finds the New England village of Hardscrabble a place where the peo- pie, who go to church, were brought up On IIlc HIc duu UIlIl1StOuO lICOAy and so straightlaced that any depart ure from their old puritanical habits and ideas caused opposition, so that when the Rev. Thaddeus Strong be- gan paying attention to Lem Ran som's daughter the villagers began to talk. She was a good girl, but her father had served term in priso1. and Hardscrabble folks thought he should be condemned forever and she summed. It is the unraveling of the mystery which led to Ransom's s arrest and fastening the guilt on one of the church members that makes the theme of the play.
 MT. Cross played the minister with a quiet ease and skill and gave ex precision to his ideas of religion clear : ly and without affectation. Our townsman, MT. Mullin, was Curtis Hoten who kept the village store, who had his own beliefs as to right and wrong and he gave a good character coloring to what is really a good part. Ralph Locke was splendid as the country detective and MT. Birch as the hypocritical churchman, MT. Fuller, the exacting believer in the old doctrine of religion, and MT. Sage who played Lem Ransom, were all good. Miss Skirvin presented Nance Ransom as a gentle loving girl with dignity and courage and Miss De Voc was acceptable as the sister of the minister. Mrs. Hubbard last night was typical. New England gossip and she made the, part fully as hu- morous as the author intended. Miss Hamilton appeared in boys clothes playing Skeezicks, a New Yorker with all the slang of the day and with plenty of character and spirit The staging as usual was in keeping with the play and the big audience thoroughly enjoyed what was really a very good performance.

PLENTY OF FINE MUSIC
 AT KEENEY'S THEATER

The Marine band of Rome, an or- ganization of fourteen Italian musi- clans, provides a most entertaining attraction as Keeney's headliner this week. Every member of the organ ization is a talented musician and plays in perfect harmony with the others. Senor Sirignano. the leader, has the band under perfect control at all times and it responds wonderfully to all his directions The William Tell overture Is one of the most pop ular pieces which the band plays and 1t was warmly applauded last night Mile. Sirignano, a soprano soloist, augm snts the program with an ad- mirable rendition of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm Her singing was well received last night The setting for the act is most elaborate and the finale is remarkably impressive.
 One of the most novel numbers that has held the boards at Keeney's this season is furnished this week by the Clintons, expert Jumpers. This tour of the world, having. played in the most important cities in fifteen countries during that time. Fresh rom european LT1uHpHS they return to their native heath where new laurels await them, if the, reception given their act by the Keeney first nighters' may be taken as a criterion. Clinton is a remarkable jumper and his feats are of spectacular order. He does some sensational jumping through hoops and illustrates the ac- curacy with which he leaps by hop ping over table and while in the air cutting q potato on which a knife is resting. Their act is we'll worth sec ing.
 Radcliffe and Nelson, who open the show are two nifty girls, who look mighty refreshing and besides sing and dance in most entertaining fash = ion. They wear some fetching gowns and are decidedly captivating. Chase Me Boys, I'm Single and And Then are two of the most popular numbers in their repertoire The ap- plause given them last evening was we'll merited and will doubtless con- tinue at every performance during the week.

 From October 1, 1912 to September 30, 1913, 1908 girls were under the care of the New York Probation and Protection association, 667 of whom were referred during the year. Tn addition to this number 347 girls were referred for employment only and thirty-three for advice. Girls were referred from eighty-six different sources, including courts, police de- rartment, department of justice of the United States, various philanthropic OrganiZa tions, and institutions and also by individuals
 Workers and investigators made II .087 visits and investigations during the year. Girls visited Waverley House 1,446 times. Relief was given in cases of special need to 101 girls. Thirty-five girls were sent to their hcmes in other cities and transporta- tion was furnished in nearly every case. MI MculCdl care was gwen to girls during the year and 475 physical examinations were made. Employ ment was found for 437 girls through the employment exchange.

We HAVE A PRESIDENT.

We like to feel that Woodrow
Wilson expresses in his own
personality the good ge aius of
this country.
The Presidents service to the
nation within the past few months
has been sufficient to make an en-
tire four year term notable.
War with Mexico has been a.
verted through patient statecraft
that persisted despite criticism,
abuse and lack of faith.
A strike of trainman on ninty-
eight Western railroads has been
prevented by the agreement of
the contending parties to arbi-
trate. This strike would have
been a catastrophe at any time;
in view of other complications, it
would nave been immeasurbly
worse at this time. Credit must
be given to the men and the
managers for agreeing to get to-
gether, but this was not brought
about until the President had en-
tered the negotiations.
The placing of American bust
ness conditions upon a basis
where the European disorders
can affect them little if at all was
at the instance of and with the
cooperation of the administration,
which is also to be credited with
fathering a currency law that
will prove most efficient in the
present situation.
In the last three or four months
it would have been Interestingly
easy for Presidential blunderer
to embroil or embarrass the Unit
ed States. We have come
through with credit and clean of
unworthy compromises or en-
tangling alliances.

We invite the attention of the
Republican Congressman who
have been blocking the Admins
tration's vigorous efforts to be-
friend commerce and industry in
the European war crisis to the
following paragraph in the Boston
Advertiser, a Republican paper:
I'VE regret that we have heard
hints from Washington, in the
past few days, to the affect that
some ambitious but not unusual
ly gifted Republican Congress
men have made their plans to
fight the administration bill, and
to expose some of its 'glaring
blunders. Our fridndly advice
to such marplots would be to con-
suit their own constituents first
We believe that the popular de-
mand for an immediate outlet
and avenue to new markets for
American goods, and for new
routes Of supply to this country,
in such products as the United
States now lacks, because OF the
war of the natl MS, is practical
ly irresistible. Any Congress
man who for purely partisan
reasons attempts to block the
plans of the administration, will
probably emerge from his popu-
lar chastisement wiser if not a
sadder man.
