Money was called for to secure

came. Henry Bool, Somerset,

campaign and later 5000 more.
One hundred and thirty thous-
and signatures were secured, out

S. Washburne, wife of a Chicago
newspaper reporter, who has publish
ed her life story in book form, under
the same title as the play.
The story, neatly told, tells of an
unsophisticated girl who is led to the
big city by false impressions, her
downfall, and her return home. Then
there is the good sister who does
right, is happily married, and is per-
fectly satisfied with life. The con-
trast between the sisters is one of the
greatest ever depicted upon the mod
ern stage.
The "lost sister" meets the typical
white slave procurer in her home
town, where he is seeking new VIC
Tins. Her home life is not over pleas
ant, and she is led away to house of
shame in Chicago. The story is told
in a manner not to offend, yet plain
in it's teaching.
The play has been lauded by press,
pulpit, and public. One Chicago
minister declared every person should
see the play. The play deals with
the curse of the nation, white slavery,
and prescribes a possible remedy.

trained in the highest of the Repub-
lies educational institutions, and are
themselves foremost among our
leaders in the interpreting and under
standing of the country's ideals,
customs and history. To be sure one
is Republican, the other a Democrat;
but too much significance should not
be given at such a time as this to
political designations which origi-
mated half century and more ago.
The question, it seems to the writer
is one of men, not parties. Then
which man? Is it the man who calls
upon the nation to be heroic, what
ever that may signify; or the one who
through long months of the bloodiest
struggle in the vitals of mighty
Europe has by his great forbearance
and fairness of mind maintained
absolute order, neutrality and peace
in the leading acknowledgement nation
of the earth? Which, to bring it more
closely home to ourselves, do we adj
mire in our fellow beings, or in our
selves, the "heroic," the threatening,
and the overruling; or the kindly con-
siderate, gentlemanly, forbearing one
another, even to death, spirit?
Respectfully,

Barnum And Bailey
To Open Thursday
Afternoon April 6

Madison Square Garden, New York
City, was ablaze with life, light and
color, when the circus event of the
year encamped there. Barnum &

gan it's annual spring visit on the
afternoon of April 6, continuing
thereafter twice daily, afternoons at
2.15 and evenings at 8.15 for a short
engagement only, the circus this
year being all new in it's entirety.
The opening spectacular was
persia" or the pageants Of the
thousand and one nights, the most
magnificent oriental display ever seen
in any land, 1,400 persons, 785
horses, camels and $500 historically
correct costumes.
The circus management is showing
some fine Arabs steeds, finely ca
parisoned; elephants and camels with
complete embroidered trappings, ap-
propriately equipped with parade &C
coutrements, which all combined with
the costumed troops of Oriental types
and the incidental music of that
period make the pageant an impress
sive and imposing affair.
ASlue from CHe opening feature
there are all kinds of real circus acts
from the wonderfully draing eques-
trianic feats, awe-inspiring aerial
stunts, midair deeds of death-defying
nature, performing animals, funmak-
ing clowns, and arobatic marvels to
the usual procession past the wild
animal cages in the menagerie before
the main performance, where will be
seen a family of giraffes with the

Rev. Gozzo Tells
Of Italian Problem

"The requirements imposed by
local and national governments In
America for citizenship are not Dig
nified enough" said Rev. Salvatore
Gozzo, assistant pastor of Grant
wood Congregational Church. "Why,
in ancient times, in the early Roman
Empire, men had to be philosophers
before they could expect to be adj
mitted as citizens into the nation.
Many of the men of my nationality
in America are not citizens, and l
do not feel like urging citizenship
upon them. :,
"Remember that Italians and other
foreigners sojourning in this country
enjoy the same privileges for their
families as if they were naturallzed
citizens. They profit to the same
extent as the rest from the protection
of your fire department, your police
department, your schools and your
civilization: all they lack is the vote.
"On the other hand, Italians in this
country are prevented from becom-
ing citizens by the knowledge that
although they can be naturallzed
here, they cannot be de-naturalized
in Italy. The United States-Italian
treaty does not provide for this. This
country, as we'll as the whole civilized
world, owes a great deal to the Italy
of the past, and it would only be
justice for America to repay the debt
by helping the tremendous Italian
population now on these shores.
"In the section of Brooklyn where
l have the principal part of my work,
there are in a space of a few block
$4,000 Italians. l estimate that of
this vast number but about 5000 are
members of the resident churches.
What about the other $4,000 souls :?
There is much to do. America is a
great country, and has great future,
but with great problems. She will
be the greatest country in the world"

The Rialto Theater
Opened April IS

Curiosity concerning the Rialto
Theater, now under construction on
the former site of Hammerstein's
Theater of Varieties, Forty second
street at Seventh avenue, and which
is scheduled to open on Saturday,
April Is, has been satisfied to large
extent by an announcement just
issued from the offices of S. L. Roth
APPEL.
Primarily, the Rialto is to be an
institution and it's form of entertain
ment is to be institutional. While the
trade mark adopted by it's projectors
proudly designates it "The Temple of
the Motion Picture" there is obvi-
ously behind it an effort to link up
that popular form Of entertainment
more closely than ever with good
music, and also with other arts of
the amusement world. In this con-
nection the "Rialto World Wide News
Service" is being organized to pre-
sent daily newspaper in film form,
and also the "Rialto Pictorial Digest"
which will fill the same mission in
the educational field with editorials,
travelogues, nature studies, little
journeys into the realms of science,
cartoons, etc. This film news and
editorial service is to be supplement-
ed by magazine to be issued weekly
in printed from. The latter will not
only be the house organ, but will
seek to establish wide circulation
throughout the country, by mail.
Of course these features will be
supported by the usual offerings of
the motion picture theater. That
the latter will be subordinated to new
ideas and ideals is strongly suggested
by the physical lines on which the
theater is being erected.

Closter Aut0ist
Fight Policemen

Two automobiles, one of which con-

Closter, collided on Main street, near
Passaic street, Hackensack, about 10
o'clock Saturday evening, the front

and swinging the cars in reverse di-

were torn off probably saved the lives
Of the OCCUPANTS. -e's H,g
The car in which Mayor Ferdon
was riding was owned and driven by

was George E.. Davis and 5. q.

Thomas and his party are said to

wood
futile made complaint against
Thomas, and he and his friends,
Davis and Miller, were, arrested by
the local police. All three resisted
arrest, and in the melee Policeman
Jack Earle's uniform was badly torn.
They were taken before Justice OF
the Peace Charles Rosenberg, who at
first sentenced Thomas to thirty days
in the county Jail for reckless driv-
ing, but later substituted fine of
$3.50.
Both Davis and Miller were
charged with disorderly conduct and
fined SIS and costs.
Chief of Police Jacob Dunn said
that he had taken the matter up with
the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
with view of having Thomas
license revoked, and that he was con-
sidering further action against the
men for assaulting the officer.
Mayor Ferdon did not figure in any
of the trouble with the police.

Wilson Or Roosevelt?

Editor "Palisadian":-
Maurice Maeterlinck says, in effect,
that the leader of any nation is, in
the last analysis, the deliberate choice
of the bulk of the national group.
According to this the France of the
1905 and early 1905 not only
tolerated it's Napoleon, but he repre-
scented faith fully the peoples choice.
The people of France at that time,
whether for temperamental or moral
reasons, embodied their predominant
mood in the person of the man, Ma
poleon.
Mr.. Maeterlinck says that Kaiser
Wilhelm and the other German leaders
at the present time are just as much
the choice and represent the desires
and ideals of Germania, as did
Napoleon the France of his day.
And America, the America of 1916
A. DIFF such a thing as choosing
a manager from without for it's ma
tional business were within the range
of possibility, would it turn to either
of these leaders as the embodiment of
it's highest hopes and ideals?
But if we would not have Kaiser
or King, Gar or Emperor, as not
embodying in their autocracy what
we consider dearest and best for our
Republic, who among ourselves and
under our laws are the men who most
nearly typify the American national
spirit?
Of the two leading prospective can
didates for President, Woodrow Will
son and Theodore Roosevelt, it would
be difficult to reduce their compare
tive worth to a mathematical COM
putation. Both are men of power
and vision. Both have been President
and Governor. Both have been
