Operettas Heard Again

ANDREAs DIPpEL's scheme OF revlving
the famous operettas Of the past at the
Century Theatre Is an attempt TO place
these little masterpieces on n level with
operas Of a more serious character.
1t has usually happened that operettas
with their novelty Just as dramatic
works do in this city Consequently
few OF them have ever been sung later
with the same success that accompanied
their first performances. Only the
ma sterpieces OF GILBERT and SULLIVAN
have proved equal to the test In recent
seasons. The works OF OFFENBAcH
have been many times revived since
they We're first sung here, but the glory
of their original representations has
never been equalled.
The repetition Of familiar operettas
in those days depended OH conditions
that do not exist now The public was
anxious to see each succeeding dlvette
in the famous roles Of the operetta
repertoire. II might be MARIE AIMEE
or PAoIA MARIE or THO, who followed
BACH or. Lrooco, There were tradi-
lions of the important roles of opera
bouffe then and the aspirants for the
hon0rs OF the hero.ncs were eagerly
such eScuGc now for the repetition

Seventeen OF the twenty-five inspectors
OF taxicabs in 10 Mayors license bu-

are TO be laid off on Friday Their
work is to be done by the police, by
arrangement with the new department Of

In announcing this programme yester-
day Mayor Mitchell said: 1T appears
that the Police Department will be able
to do more effective work in the enforce
ment OF tho public hack ordinance than
the inspectors. In place of a staff ~
twenty-five men the entire Police De
partnent will be constituted an inspec-
ton star, assuring more rigid enforce

while with the limited number OF tax
cab inspectors their activities have been
confined to the hotels, restaurants and

For once the recall seems TO have a
legitimate occasion. There is a move
mont on foot headed by the Law and
Order League OF Denver to apply it TO
Judge BEN b. LINDSEY, who is keeping
in the very centre OF the limelight with
the help Of the Colorado mine troubles.
AS the attempt to punish the Judge has
no reference to any judicial act, but
rather to an abuse OF the judicial
dignity and a violation OF judicial obli-
cation by arraying himself on the side
OF illegality and disorder, even those
who are opposed to the recall on prin-
ciple can regard this instance with
equanimity as a sort of poetic justice:
the demagoglc idea turned on the dema-
gogue.

from American politics or become the
great leader OF a reunited Republican
party, commissioned by II as the recog-
nized champion to enter tho lists against
Woodrow Wilson for the Presidency In
1915. The result will also determine the
future OF Senator Penrose. whether he Is

Ii seems like the irony OF fate that
GUSTAV HAMEL. the British aviator who
was planning 10 make the Atlantic pas
sage in August, should be lost in the
strip OF water between Kent and
France. Mr.. HAMEL was as much at
home in an aeroplane as most automo-
bile drivers are in their cars. and he
had ceased TO have any fears about his
safety. He was not only an expert
enced aviator but a good mechanic.
There was no man in England who was
more in the air. He inspired such con-
fidence that n was the fashion to ask
him to take novices up. Women felt
themselves secure with GUSTAV HAMEL
at the wheel. Yet there came an emer-
gency when he could not take care Of
himself. He put out over the sea with
no passengers and was swallowed up.
Is there anything more certain than a
tragedy of the aviator who makes a
habit OF using the aeroplane as a con-
yeyance?

In the character of JACOB A. RiIs, who
died yesterday, the quality of uncalcu-
lating devotion to the cause which en-
gagged his interest and enlisted his sup
port was perhaps most conspicuous.
For the work Of social reform. to which
he devoted an abundant energy, he was
peculiarly well trained. Poverty, its
woes, its subterfuges and it's shifts and
patches he knew from harsh personal
experience and from sympathetic OBJ
servation guided by a sure instinct. He
had the frankness OF a child; he could
not conceal an impulse or hide a senti-
ment. Yet he was not blind, as too
many less informed persons are. to the
survival OF hope, the persistence OF a
capacity for pleasure, and the amazing
tenaclty of loyalty in the most Distress
full and unpropitious circumstances.
Never did JACOB RiIs reduce the poor
and oppressed to an arithmetical
formula or degrade them from the
plane of humanity to the level of a
social problem. From this saving
sanity OF outlook his work derived
peculiar force for good and power OF
benefit which the book philanthropist
too seldom attains; through II he did
worthy things, and earned the title Of
a good man.

may play an important part in bring

close and his advisers believe that
suggestions for peace would come
with bad grace from a country in tho

Neutrality Busbear
Another reason given by admins

ner resolution is that in his speech in
the House supporting the movement,
Mr.. Gardner attacked Germany and
they thank the adoption of his reso-
luton would make it appear that the
action was directed principally at that
l.ation.
When the resolution was first in
troduced the President characterized
the proposed investigation as pleas
ant mental exercise" and said the re-
suits achieved by such an investiga-
ton would depend entirely upon the
character Of the commission making
it.
Administration leaders said tonight
that the President realizes the i'm
portance OF the military lessons taught
by the present war and takes the po-
sition that everything possible should
be learned by the United States

OPINION IN
"JIM CROW
CASE But NO
DECREE MADE

Washington, Nov. 30.-A majority Of
the supreme court today joined in an
opinion that the Oklahoma Jim
Grow" law proviso. permitting rail-
xoads to furnish sleeping, dining and
chair car accommodations only to the
white race. was unconstitutional. but
they did not so decree. because of i'm
projections in the petition on which
the case reached the courts.
Injunction Sought
The case was one in which five Ne
sgroes. claiming that the entire law
was unconstitutional, sought an in
junction to restrain five railroads IN
Oklahoma from enforcing it. The
Oklahoma federal court had dismissed
the opinion holding the law constitu
tional
The majority of the supreme court
affirmed the dismissal today because
the Negroes had not shown that they
had applied to the railroads for ac-
commodation under the law or that
the railroads had notified them that
they would be refused certain COM
modations. The majority through JUS
tice Hughes, stated, however, that they
that the proviso as to sleeping, dining
and chair cars was constitutional.
Justice Hughes Opinion
Justice Hughes stated that previous
decisions that laws for separate
coaches for the two races was uncon-
stitutional was not to be questioned.
He then set forth the reasons for the
opinion that the lower court was
wrong in holding the proviso consti-
tutional
The reasoning is" said he. that
there may not be enough persons o.
African descent seeking these accom-
modations to warrant the outlay in
providing them. This argument with
respect to the value of the trafiic
seems TO be without merit. 1t makes
the constitutional right depend upon
the number of persons who may be
Disseminated against, whereas the es-
sence of the constitutional right is
that it is personal one. Whether or
not special facilities shall be provided,
doubtless will be conditioned upon
there being reasonable demand
therefore, but if facilities are provided
substantial equality Of treatment OF
persons travelling under like conditions
cannot be denied. 1t is the individual
who is entitled to the equal protec-
ton OF the laws. and If he is denied
by a common carrier, acting in the
matter under the authority of the
state facilities or conveniences in the
course of his journey under substan-
TALLY the same conditions as fur
nished to another traveller he may
properly complain that his substantial
privileges have been invaded"
The court gave no intimation as 10
whether in proper case it would
merely hold the luxury car section
UNCONSTITUTIONAL or whether 1t would
state that this section being uncon-
stitutional the entire law must fall.
The Ave railroads in the case asked
the court when the case decided today
was argued to hold the entire law I'M
constitutional if the luxury" proviso
was annulled.
