At The Lyric

Emma Carus, who sang "coon' songs with such popular success 10 or more years ago. is still a popular favorite with vaudeville audiences as evinced by her reception last night at the Lyric theatre. Miss Carus has added danc- ing to her repertoire of songs and with a sprightly young male dancer has q very pleasing act. Miss Corus Is cas- fly the headliner this week, although the bill as a matter of fact is not superior to any of the previous bill of the current season.
 Other than the singing and dancing of Miss Carus and her assistant, Carl Randall, the most meritorlus act on
 the bill was the vocal work of Prince Lai Mon Kim, who is billed as a noted
 Chinese tenor Whether noted or not the prince has charming voice and
 his singing of "A Little Love, a Lit
 tie Kiss" a difficult number, was ex-
 cellent. The prince also sang one of the latest popular ballads which struck
 responsive chord in the hearts of the
 audience. It was 'I Don't Want My
 Boy To Be a Soldier

Having lnished, for the present at
least, It's epistolary efforts with Ger
many, it now takes its pen in hand
and informs j. Bull, Esq, that the
blockade proclaimed by the Allies on
May II, is "illegal, indefensive and in
effective" and nix cumarous; that
this government won't stand for it,
and it employed over $4,000 words di-
vided into 35 subdivisions to convey
the information.
1t is an able craftsmanship docu-

consideration that Germany gave our

CUMMINS FOR PRESIDENT

In the next presidential election, if
the Republicans vote the Republican
ticket, their candidate will have a ma
jority of la in the electoral college.
The only question is: can the differ
ent factions of the party unite on any
one candidate?
The Herald believes that Albert J.
Cummins, of Iowa, is the one man
that can command all the support of
all Republicans and under whose lea
dership they could, and would present
a united front againts the confident
hosts of Democracy.
He is brilliant orator, a lawyer
of high standing in his profession,
has had a wide experience in public
affairs, exceptionally vigorous men
tally and physically, is a progressive
conservative or a conservative pro-
gressive; we hardly know which term
fits him best. He is Western man
and in the West the great disaffection
lies. In fact taking everything into
consideration, it seems to US that he
would make an ideal candidate that
could easily be elected.
The present editor of the Herald
favored Mr.. Cummins' nomination
nomination four years ago, and moth
ing has transpired since to cause US to
change our mind.-A. M. w.

IN RE SIXTH DISTRICT MIXUP

And now comes the Warroad Pho
neer, outside adviser in the above en-
titled matter and dominates George
E. Ericsson, for congress from this
district.
The hirisuteless pencil pusher of
the Northern News possesses many
congressional qualifications; he is
brilliant; a true blue Republican; the
prince of good fellows; an excellent
lawyer; a bright newspaper man;
fond of eating; fine judge of cigars;
don't like to work; and has talented
wife, who would make her mark in
Washington or any other old city;
who keeps him in the path of recti-
tude and righteousness most of the
time.
The Republicans could easily nomi-
nate a less capable man than bald
headed George-and they probably
will.

that have been rife as to the proxim-

The honeymoon will probably be
southwark to Pass Christian, Miss,
where the President has many friends
who have urged him to make the trip.

pated will be best man; the Colonel's
wife, and DR.. Grayson, the presidents
intimate friend and physician. 1t is

announcement of the time of the we'd
ding was made this morning when
President Wilson and Mrs. Gait took
long walk together.
