LYCEUM.

The Lyccum offers this week what the
program calls "a condemnation or
comedy, singing. and dancing entitled
What the Public Wants.
Judging from the amount OF applause
the show is true to its name. Matt
kolb and Harry Rogers took care OF
the comedy. while Kitty Warren:
Evelyn Price. and Hazel Grant headed
the musical numbers. Notwithstanding
the fact that each song was followed by
a number OF enccres. the chorus smiled
continually. and bore no evidence OF
overwork.
The mysterious Policy headed the olio
with feats of magic. and concluded his
part of the performance by escaping
from a water-filled tank which had been
locked by several members of the audi
ence. He was followed by the 1hree
La Dellers, who did an act on the high
swinging bars. Several other vaudeville
acts are included.
The show closed with a special attrac-
ton by ia Sale" which was well re-
ceived.

WASHINGTON IN THE LEADi

Sufficient unto the day is the salts
faction Of being in first place; Of
holding the record of beating the
worlds champions four games out Of
six played; of demonstrating that
the home team can play real ball,
and even produce a hit in pinch,
when nothing else in the world could
possibly serve the same purpose.
Washington has been playing ball
with the "breaks" coming it's way
lately. Precisely what the "breaks"
are, can best be explained in tech
meal detail by the sporting pages

the things that the crown prince
doesn't have on his side in the af-
fair at Verdun. One gathers that
John Henry emplaced 42-centi-
meter piece and dropped one Of its
shells on the armored turret of the
opposition's entrenchment at the
psychological moment, and wrecked
the whole enterprise.
Anyhow, for a few brief and feet
ing hours Washington is in first
place; may the hours multiply into
days and the days into weeks. even
unto the time for the bunting to be
hung out at the Florida avenue park!

WHO GOVERNS THIS COUNTRY

Mr.. Carman F. Randolph, in a
letter to the New York Times, sug-
gests a new phase of the difficulty
over State and Federal jurisdictional
conflicts. He points out that the
economic conference of the allied
powers, in Paris has been planning
unification of international practice
regarding various subjects, among
them Observation-Disclosures Of the law
governing corporations" Assuming
that uniformity among the nations
In such matter would be generally
desirable, as Americans have as
sumed that among our States it
would be, Mr.. Randolph demands to
!. know whether the Federal Govern
nnept has power to pledge this coun-
try to uniform practices. Would the
Federal Government "be hampered
by independent jurisdictional rights
subsisting in forty-eight States?"
That is a question often asked and
never fully answered.
We have not heretofore considered
u as wider than domestic. But IT
may be forced upon attention as an
international one.
The States grant charters to cor.
porations, on wide variety of terms
and with a vast range of powers
But the corporations of each State
may do business in the others. The
Federal Governments authority over
them has been in process of defini
ton for decades, and is not vel
clearly defined.
If the National Government SHOULD
be invited into an internationa
scheme for unifying practice in this
regard, could it assume power t.
make rules for State corporations
That is the question Mr.. Randolph
wants answered. He intimates hi!
own belief that "the necessarily OBJ
structive position of the States
will not stand against reasoned
argument for a positive, adequate
and useful Federal power in respec
to alien companies"
Mr.. Randolph may be right; blu
the fact remains that almost n
