In another section of his article Sen
ator Davenport makes some further OBJ
~servatlons on the character OF the Amer
lear political mind and the futiliiy Of
third parties. He says:
The permanence and dominance of
third parties seem foreign to the political
genius Of the American people. This is
n two party country"
Nevertheless he resents any idea that

the history OF third parties in tlis
try az they do now. deliberately set out
to manufacture gold bricks for distribu-
ton at a political carnival. While the
stakes are being pulled and the tents
folded he Issues a warning that the per-
Torrance under the big top must be up to
expectations or the managers will have
opposition to face again. Senate Daven-
port says
The Progressive party accomplished

But In the West" he continues, the
march OF political liberalism will soon

tainly with redoubled vigor in 1920.

lied in 1912. Now II needs only to be

He thinks the movement for national
liberalism Is no longer merely the ex-
preston OF those who are without
property. hence without responsibility.
He gives warning that the West is not
without the property interest, that It is
naturally Republican. but that II is fer

MORNING MATINEE OF BIG SPECTACLE
 PROVING POPULAR

That Bridgeport generally is inter- ested in the innovation to be intro- duced at Polls by Manager Saunders, when matinee performance of '"The Birth of a Nation will be given at 10 a. n., was evidenced following the first annunocement yesterday, As ex- plained yesterday, the morning per formance was arranged primarily at the request of night workers of the city who presented a lengthy. petition to Manager Saunders. Several hun dreds of them set forth that their hours of labor made it impossible for them to attend the show otherwise.
 The announcement yesterday Of the morning performance on Thursday brought inquiries from other factor ies where night work is in progress. A bunch of employees of the Locomobile company's night shift sent in a re- quisition for a block of seats, and one whole department in the Union Me taIlic Cartridge company has engaged seats in a body.
 The Thursday mprning perform ance, of course, will be open too, to the public generally. Seats are now selling for the performance, and for the other shows throughout the week.

tsThe Birth of a Nation" has tri- urnped in. Bridgeport as it has every where else. The four opening shows here, including the performance last night, have played to business that has smashed both house records and record for the road tour of the big Griffith production, Manager Saun- ders said last night
 All day long yesterday. a line of patrons crowded the lobbies to make reservations and a, force of four tick ct sellers was kept on the jump con tinua1ly. Noticeable in the line were several who announced that they had seen the performance on Monady night and were '-coning again later in the week.
 Glowing press criticisms bore out the unanimous verdict of the big au- diences that saw the production on the opening night.
 "A truly wonderful production that should be seen by all who enjoy the spectacular as we'll as real dramatic art" said the Farmer.

PLAZA

Edmund Breese in aThe Song of the Wage SIave,'. a. fve-partl Animation of the famous poem of the same name, is proving one of the most delightful photo o-attraetions the Plaza has ever offered and the crowded janned audi enees at every perforfnance are the result The story is an unusual one, telling of a mans devotion for the wo- man he loves and his many supreme sacrifices for her. sake,s freeing her finally from the bonds of marriage that she may marry the man to whom she had previously given her love. The photop1ay is as delightful as the story and interest is held at it's highest pitch from the first to the final scenes.
 The Dancing Fo1Iies, a miniature musical comedy with nine people, is headIining the vaudeville program and scoring heavily at every. appearance. The girls have pleasing voices and are graceful dancers and the comedy end has been well provided for. Sew eral handsome costume changes and a. special scenic squfpnent add to the daintiness of the piece.

Luke McLuISe Says:

The high cost of living was seldom heard of in the old days when break fast consisted of boiled oats and not distilled corn.
 It is a good thing that our prayers are not always answered. If they were mighty few of us would try to hustle for what we need.
 The upkeep of motorcar keeps many man down.
 It isn't the woman who goes out to lectures on tsHow to Make a Home Happy and gets back so late that her husband has to eat canned junk who has the happy home. It is the woman who stays home and has a good hot dinner waiting for her husband.
 A princess doesn't seem to know it. But a man would rather see a girl wearing imitation lace that is clean than real lace that is dirty.
 Any woman can tell you that she would be as well dressed as other women if she starved herself as they do and put everything she had on her back
 It is mighty hard for woman to de eide whether she would rather be perfect thirty-six and be poor or be fat woman and be wealthy.
 If her mirror tells her that she is homely and her gentleman, friend tells her that she is beautiful she knows that the mirror is a liar.
 You imagine that 1t must be fine to be wealthy and do as you please. But the fact is that there are mighty few wealthy men who are not disappointed at least a dozen times a day.

Electricity in This Country.

Electricity is becoming more and
more available for use upon the farm.
and within a few years it is likely to
be supplied by high-tension transmits
sion systems connected with city
plants.
The equipment now provided for con-
veying electric current to the farmers
from a number of middle western cities
consists of transformers. switches. fuses
and lightning arresters arranged in
what is known as out t-of-door substa-
tions. These are ordinary wooden tele-
graph poles. grouped together SO as to
form a sort of tower. with open sides
in which the mechanism is supported.
Above this, the wires and insulators
are placed upon wooden cross-bars.
Such a substation, properly located.
can supply electric current to a single
consumer or a group of farms. as de-
sired The voltage can be cut down or
increased, according to the needs of
developing. The diff1culty now to be
met is providing some protection for
the wires. The breaking OF a single
wire may disconnect an entire system.
A large screech owl recently alighted
upon one of the wires and extinguished
the lights of two towns.
