Two nights later between the acts at theatre I met young old friend. To my surprise, Knowing he was never a stacker, he was not in khaki, but in white waistcoat and lawn tie and tail coat. He looked as though he had on his hand nothing more serious than money and time. I complained that we had not met since the war.

FALSE PRETENSES"
 Apparently it is the purpose of the measure now pending before your com niittee to put into the hands of a tariff commission the power to safe guard the trusts and combines against that competition from abroad which would force them to lower their prices to the American consumer.
 Personally, I cannot become 8 party to such a betrayal of the Underwood tariff, to such a disregard for demo- cratic principles and pledges, to such brazen appropriation of a republican plan. If there are to be cheaper prices after the war-and I feel perfectly confident there will bel want my people to have the benefits thereof. have not fought the trusts for a quarter of a century merely for the pleasure of surrendering to them now under the guise of what I deem a piece of rank, false pretense.
 For the democrats to reverse their traditional policy on this question would be almost too much. It certain ly would be too much for me. My views may be of little consequence. But they are honest. And they are consistent with the teaching of democ- racy."

 HIS "WATCHFUL WAITING"
 And there is new gossip The east is entertained in the report that Mir Bryan has declared that he will go to the con- vention whole hearted and fancy free" Of course. he may be instructed by Ne- braska to vote for Wilson. But he re- gards, history tends to intimate, instruc- tions imposed by @ sovereign state as galling chains to be broken at will. He was instructed in 1912 for Clark. He gave Wilson the nomination.
 l He has declared. according to the above mentioned report that he will not have a prearranged programme by the date of the convention; that he will be guided l by circumstances and developments that 1 he will speak his mind freely in support i ing of those measures which he con- siders right and expedient "even if un- popular" and that unless Hughes, deemed | the strongest republican, is in the mean time nominated, he will not be necessarily l concerned in the nomination of the l Strongest democrat"
 1 In other words the report has it that
 Rryan might support Wilson if he thinks l the fate of the party depends on the noninatlon of the President; whereas he

 WILL BRYAN BOLT?
 There has been much discussion of the | theory of Bryan bolting in imitation oi the memorable destructive policy ot Roosevelt.
 It is regarded as certain that Bryan, bolting, could secure formidable follow ing. The pacifists in certain number would hearken unto his silver song oi 1 reace. In the Baltimore convention three Alatamians, against the request of the candidate for whom they were commit. ted. gave the Nebraskan their support in his futile struggle for temporary chair man. It is admitted that he still retains his power to sway and impel-that ir ether words, he is still a dynamic force seriously to be reckoned with. l But in justice to. the Commoner, tht

While the artistic girth OF Sir Her
bert Trees Falstaff may be slightly
less than its physical measurements,
Sir Herbert last night demonstrated
the insignifcance OF the discrepancy
by giving a truly capital performance
in the role of jolly old, sa/.-loving
knight. Possibly the convenient
phrase. call things considered" should
have crept into tha senttnce some
where. Last evening there were
number of things TO consider. There
was, for example, the fact that Sir
Herbert had lesped from the rent gar
ments Of Shylock in less than twenty
four hours, and 70 this fact may be
attributed any uncertainties and un-
evenness in Sir Herbert's characterize
ton. And there was the fact that an
other Fslstaff has been seen in New
York this season-which, although il
had nothing 70 do with the circum-
stances. stubbbrnly refused TO down.
II was consequently impossible not
20 be conscious Of the fact that Sir
Herbert lacked the mellowness of Tom
Wise in the part He acted the role
well, but one remembered that Mr..
Wise did not seem TO have been under
the necessity Of acting il. For all
that, however, il is repeated that Sir
Herbert's Characterization was capital
even wonderful when his other ac-
tivities are considered. He is not 90

as is Mr. Wise. but his makeup APP

false cheeks and great amount OF

Eighteen Thousand at Second Per-

Practically every seat in the greatt
stadium of City College was occupied
at the second performance Of Cali
ban" the community masque, last
night. Threatening weather held down
the attendance the opening night, and
il was variously estimated at 10000
to 5000. All the cheaper seats, now
ever. were filed last night, and the
crowd, which was orderly and cnthus-
i2stic, was placed at $4,000.
The performance came off with much
