Taking a melOdramatiC farce In

structure is violated. and revivlng it

less scored success second to none
OF the many to their credit this sea

But, by violating theater conven-

make a mistake. Like Bernard Shaw $
Napoleon. who knew nothing of the
art OF war, he may have gone in the
face of every precedent--but he won.
Cohan's farce. based on the book by
Earl Derr BiRgers OF the same name,
never takes the audience into its con-

the subject. in fact that only at brief
intervals are the actual lights Of the
stage turned on. And. to cap it all.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEW

lHeTe Will De ulSpoSltlOn 10 reau
carefully, to ponder deeply, to speak
guardedly, in discussing the address
of President Wilson at Philadelphia
last evening. He is in that position
which of all positions in this world
most impresses a man with the
gravity of responsibility. The Presi-
dent of the United States is one of
a very little group of the most pow
erful rulers Of the world; and he
holds his Office in conditions that
impose upon him a peculiarly high
sense of his responsibility. The ma
tion recognizes, as Presidents do, the
force of these deterrent crcum-
stances, which make it so absolutely
necessary that our Government in
order to be permanent and effective
shall represent the accurately deter
mined preponderance of public
opinion.
Throughout the Presidents ad-
dress there was a tone which testi-
fed his recognition of these re-
straints. He pointed out, on humani-
tartan and altruistic grounds, why
the United States could do something
better for the world than go to war.
1t is merely question whether the
human element, the national sensi-
bilities, can be held in leash long
enough for developments to prove
finally what course this country must
follow.
In any case, there is no need for
precipitous action. 1t is not Ameri-
can thought that we shall go to war
unless war is the last resort as a
means to protect our rights and our
honor. But if at length it shall be
forced upon our national conscious
ness that any nation is determined
to make America choose between war
and the confession of pusillanimity
there will be no uncertainty about
the decision. Restraint cannot safe.
ly be confounded with cowardice
But eNcesses of restraint surely will
be so confounded; and the present is
not time for America to risk the
surrender Of the worlds respect by
manifesting too much forbearance.
When ours was a young. weak, anc
poor nation it established a place
and prestige in the world by in
sisting on its rights, and that proper
respect be paid to them. 1t is not
ready yet to assume that because il
has become firmly established ir
power and wealth, it may permit
that which it dared not and woulc
not allow a century ago. The time
is ripe for making insistence NEAR
something. Warnings have beer
given, and have proved useless. SteI
by step we have been pressed bach
from one position to another, unit
the resources of diplomatic discus
sion will not much longer avail t.
maintain even the appearance of Wig
orous purpose; when the question
must at last be asked, whether il
any exigency we would resent th'
extreme of offense. This countr,
cannot and will not permit itself t.
be placed in that position.

STATE CLAIMS WILSON NONE
The $4,000 Refused by Judge Per-
SOUGHT by Colorado,

The $4,000 Refused by Judge Perry
Sought by Colorado.
Denver.-A claim will be filed by
the state for the $4,000 bequest left
by James Wilson, wealthy Denver
man, to Judge John A. Perry of the
Denver District Court.
Since Judge Perry, who was appoint
ed executor Of the estate. refused to
accept the bequest the state contends
the sum should be turned over to the
state school fund.
Wilson left an estate of more than
100000. The bulk of the estate he
will to Miss Carrie Hurd. In the brief
which will be filed by Ralph Kerwin,
assistant to Attorney General Farrar.
and Leslie e. Hubbard, it will be ar
gued that 1t was the intention Of VIII
son that the bequest of, $4,000 should
be the absolute property of Judge
Perry; that it was not meant that it
should revert to the residuary lega-
tee.- Since Judge Perry refused to ac-
cept the bequest, on the grounds that
it would be improper for him to do so
since he was the executor of the es-
tate, it is contended that the legacy
lapsed and became intestate property.
There are no heirs at law or next of
kin, SO the sum escheats to the state
and should be turned over to the state
school fund.
