Opposite View Of the same Question.

nifty and the gospel OF hate that is being

Why does the press do its utmost to .n-
spre the German public with finatical
hatred. born OF the conviction that Eng

The Federal Government and the strike
In Roosevelt y. j.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir. Your
editorial article In regard to the Roose-
welt strike is timely. as there is a wide
spread impression that unuer the new
laws the United States is going to take a
hand wherever there is an exhibition OF
industrial unrest"
week ago at Gloversvile. y. V, where
a strike has been pending for some months
the strike leaders threatened TO invoke the
Clayton law to prevent the peace officers
from interfering with their pickets. No
doubt the Idea II widespread since the
passage OF this bill that IL can he ap-
piled to local disturbances and that the
United States authorities will go over the
heads OF State and local police officials.
This impression should be checked At
once. although Mr.. Walsh. OF COURSE, put
himself promptly In the limelight in the

Further Light on the Appearance Of
Lydia Thompson and Pauline Markham.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: !
think "Old Theatregoer' Is right and -.
b." wrong about Lydia Thompson and
Pauline Markham. I am quite sure they
mover appeared together In New York in
The Black Crook"
The original Lydia Thompson Bur
lesque Company OF English Blondes"
created a Juror on Broadway at Woods
Museum in 1868 or 1859 In the burlesque
OF "Ixion." II was something new for
the town.
The principal members OF the company
were Lydia Thompson. Pauline Mark
ham, Liza Weber all blondes Miss
Urquart, brunette. and that great an
maker Harry Beckett
Miss Thompson was a good actress and
Miss Markhams principal claim on pub
lie favor was her great beauty. Liza
Weber was a charming singer and she
made a great hit with a song the re-
frain of which went something like this {:
Up In a balloon. boys. up in a balloon.
All among the little stars calling round the
moon.
Up In a balloon. boys up in a balloon.
Amt It awful jolly to he up In balloon.
Like Harry Lauder. II was not so much
what Harry Beckett said but II was
the atmosphere about him which con-
vulsed the house with laughter every
time he opened his mouth There is
nothing very funny about
Now I see you and YOU see me.
We both one another.
n didn't see YOU and you didn't see me
We wouldn't see one another.
But when Harry Beckett leaned over
the footlights and sang these lines there
was always bedlam In the theatre.
Pauline Markham afterward left the
company and appeared az Nblo's Garden
in The Black Crook and 1t was "A
great sight TO see her in her gorgeous
uniform. consisting principally OF
Jaunty cap and jewelled sword and belt.
leading the March OF the Amazons"

An Amazing Ruling About the In

A new ruling regarding the income
tax law has just been made by the
Treasury Department which is so mon.
1trously unreasonable and absurd that
it, seems as If it could not stand for n

some time, hut mainly. as we think,
because the attention of the public has
not been cmphatically directed to IL.

do not protest against the interpretn-
