one OF the greatest farce successes
ina the history of the English-s speaking
stage will be the offering of the new
Poll Players next week, when Char
ley s Aunt will have an elaborate re-
vivai, for the first time in a number of
ycsrs in Washington. "Charley's Aunt
enjoys the distinction of having scored
the longest continuous run in the his
tory of the theater. 1t was performed
at the Globe. in London, $50 times and
was then brought TO America for a two
Years run in New York. The play tells
the hilarious story of Charleys efforts
TO disguise himself as his aunt in order
TO act as a chaperone for the girl with
whom his chum is in love.

''watchful waiting" with regard to
Mexico, it is now almost universally
conceded that that proved to be the
wise course. Imagine us at war with
Mexico at this juncture, with Europe
in the death grapple of the centuries!
And if the President, as he must be,
is relied upon to see us safely as
nation through the complications of
an international strife which touches
us in our fortunes and estate, and in
our personal comfort and prosperity,
surely he may be needed when he
make such an extraordinary appeal for
the restraints of prudence in our
speech and conduct.

MADE IN AMERICA"

More and more the demand of the
American people is for the production
of what is needed in the United States
by home industries. That is exactly
the purpose OF the protective tariff
policy. The American people, in 1910
and again in 1912, voted against the
protective tariff. 1t has not taken long
to show them their mistake. The Dem
ocratic party stands committed
squarely and unalterably against the
idea that the tariff should be framed
with any idea of making anything
whatever in the United States unless
that article can be made in flat COM
petition with the competitive article,
made abroad by pauperized labor.
And the country is now feeling the
effects Of the Democratic policy. One
of the biggest industries in this sec
tion, producing an output of the
worth of about $4,000 900 a year, has

ABOVE PARTISAN POLITICS

The Pittsburg Gazette-Times-a
standpat Republican paper-pubhshed
by L. S. Senator George T. Oliver, of
Pennsylvania, pays the President this
generous tribute:
President Wilson's personal appeal
to his 'fellow countrymen" to pre-
serve strict neutrality in speech and
conduct is timely in its proclamation
and admirable in its tone and purpose.
In essence it is a reminder that this
country of ours is America, a grand
fact which appears to have escaped
the minds of some who would supple
ment the continental conflict across
the Atlantic by instigating controver-
sizes between natives of the countries
now at war, Necessarily there are
varying sympathies and hopes-it
would be unnatural if there were not
but the future of every naturalized
son of Great Britain, of Germany, of
Russia, of France, of Austria Hun
gary, OF DeiSlull, anu VI ptlNid III VIC
United States is bound up with the
people of the United States and not
with the powers of Europe To all
such, as we'll as to native born Ameri-
cans, the President remarks that the
moral effect of the war upon the
United States will depend upon what
American citizens say and do
President Wilson's proclamation de
serves to be read by every thoughtful
man and woman, and it should be
translated into the tongues of those
people of the United States who "are
drawn from many nations, and chief
ly from the nations now at war"
In a large way, whether there be i'm
plicit confidence in the Democratic
party or not, President Wilson should
be trusted to steer the American ship
of state free of the infinite national
perils of Europe's gigantic embroil-
ment. Let us not forget that, much

and press his lips to it; she listened
as he unveiled his propositions to
her. She was to come back to him,

was to live in his house; they would

The chauffeur was John Haynes.
For, with $500 in his pocket, Poole's
real chauffeur was waiting at the rail-
road station to take the night train
to New York city.
But how was Poole to know that in
the dark? Poole. drunk and flushed
and triumphant, bearing Haynes
daughter on his arm and leering and
chuckling.
Home, George he said thickly. and
settled back in the automobile. His
eyes blinked heavily, he muttered
something, then his head fell on FL
eanors shoulder and he began to
snore. The want of sleep had told
on him during those days of fear;
he had shrunken into haggard old
man, horrible to look upon.
This simplified John Haynes plans,
for, with his crippled leg, he had
doubted his ability to cope with the
man, should his suspicious become
aroused. Now, slowing the machine,
he leaned backward, and abandoning
it for moment, whispered:
Have you found what ! spoke
of"
yes. nay DEAR" he heard her, whis-
per, and through the darkness she
stretched out one arm. In it was the
pistol which Poole had carried since
he had put his terrors behind him and
resolved to face his fate manfully.

come to search for her. But he did
not tell her about the "devil-chair."
He had detached the gyroscope and

but he saw now that he would be un-
likely to need 1t. For. when she un-
folded her story, new plan had
taken possession of him. This ven
geance upon Poole must now be
doubly sacred. And because he had
struck at the daughter as well as at
the father, he would use Eleanor as
the instrument of his revenge.
If the man had been wholly sane he
would have spared her that; perhaps,
too, If she had refused, his senses
would have come back to him. But
when he told her all he was amazed
at the revelation of her nature. The
timid girl became daughter possess
ed with the resolution of vengeance
for her fathers sufferings. The fan
tasy OF universal revenge on all
who had been privy to the plot COM
municated itself to her with double
intensity.
She did not know he meant to kin
each OF his enemies; her confidence
in him was so profound that she ac-
cepted blindly the task which he i'm
posed upon her. Yet Haynes knew
well that Poole must die, and that he
would be the first Of his victims. He
would not use the law: personal ven
geance, nurtured IN his prison cell.
