ABE, HAVE
A BISMARK"

Days Theatre was crowded last ev-
ening with an appreciative audience
which enjoyed greatly the evenings
entertainment.
In the first place, the play was an
unusual one, out of the ordinary, and
Messrs Potash and Perlmutter were
certainly immense and they were well
supported by an excellent company
of artists. Every one who took part
in the show was excellent in his par
ticular role.
The doings of the principals and
their assistants coupled with the fun
ny remarks in the Jewish dialect kept
the audience in an uproar all the time.
This play must be seen. 1t cannot be
described. It's immense.

GAVE FRIEND THE DOUBLE CROSS

Commenting on the retirement of
the democratic state chairman in New
York the Evening Post remarks up
on the failure of President Wilson to
give Chairman Osborne any adequate
support. "Once in the presidency"
says the Post, Mr.. Wilson's interest
in the rehabilitation OF the party in
New York waned very rapidly" This
is by no means surprising to those
who understand the Wilson habit of
mind. Once in office, it is the presi.
dents general custom Ito disregard
much, if not all, that has characterized
his campaign declarations. The man
ner in which he has kicked holes in
the Baltimore platform is sufficient
evidence Oh this point. But as anoth-
er election approaches Mr.. Wilson is
showing more interest in the party in
New York. From Indifference he is
becoming very different. But the dam
age has already been done, and prob.
ably beyond repair. He cannot again
appeal to- the independent democrats
OF New York as he did in 1912; and
most assuredly he cannot successfully
court the favor of Tammany. When he
failed to support Chairman Osborne
he made it certain that the democrats
Of New York will not adequately sup
port him.
