Abundant proof Of the general YER
satility and all-round skill of the Price

after having presented Clyde Fitch s
somber drama, The Woman in the

bright comedy OF Edgar selwyn's The
Country Boy" and played II delight

ply to a stock company, crowded with
performances and rehearsals, 10 charge

not only 10 those who have never seen

who have seen it so often that they
can prompt in case Of necessity.
For The Country Boy" is the sort OF
play that can stand a lot of seeing, SO
10 speak. After the first act, which
is. OF course. largely Introductory,
there is hardly scene that isn't filled
with interest. Its interest may lie in
its amusing character which, again.

The play ahounds in good parts. and
almost all these Were we'll handled last

striking individual performance was
THAT OF Arthur Z. Hohle, in the role

Editorials.
Absolutely Safe Fighting.

To read the rantings of Senator
George E. Chamberlain, of Oregon,
and other alarmists who think the
United States should become huge
military camp, one would imagine
that to make war as peaceful and
harmless as game tiddledewinks,
all that is necessary is to train the
young men thoroughly and continu-
ally.
Senator Chamberlain says that it
is nothing but slaughter to send I'M
trained boys out to fight, as we did
in the Civil War. Apparently George
hasn't read the returns from Europe,
where the fighting men are all train
ed-and where there is an occasional
fatality.
When the military agitators start
out to lie about the alleged weak
ness of their country they forget
their low-gears, brakes and every
thing else that might keep their speed
down to the safety limit.

THURSDAY. JUNE Is, 1916
Hughes Probably Next President.

1t seems likely, now, that Charles
E. Hughes will be the next President
of the United States.
Colonel Roosevelt retired from the
Progressive nomination with what
grace he could command when he
found that the Republicans would
not support him, leaving Hughes
and Wilson to face each other.
Thousands of Democrats will vote
for Hughes in preference to Wood
row Wilson; first because he is for a
protective tariff, which is almost uni
versally conceded to be a good thing;
and secondly, because President Will
son is a man of words and not of
deeds.
Abandonment of the free trade
policy, and freedom from agitators
like Bryan and Wilson may put the
Democratic party in good running
trim by 1920, but it looks to be
badly handicapped for 1916.
