Nu Denver one of the most attrac-
tive show cities on the Ameri-
can continent. He struck a
popular note a few days ago when, in an
address before the Civic and Commercial
association at the Albany hotel luncheon,
he urged the wealthy citizens to give
while they live" That this principle
has been accepted by number of Den
ver's prosperous residents was shown
when the Mayor read list of those who
have already made substantial dona-
tions for beautifying the city in an ar
tisitc way. j. A. Thatcher has donated
100000 for the construction of foun
tain in the Civic Center, and $50, 600 has
been pledged for the purchase of an i'm
mense pipe organ which will be installed
in the city auditorium Other dona
tions of this character reported by May
or Speer reached total of nearly
100000. Give while you live" will
undoubtedly become a popular principle
among the wealthy citizens of Denver
and is certainly a spirit that can be
commended by all classes of our people!
When the reelection of President
Woodrow Wilson was assured, a few
days following November 7, The Denver
LdDOT Dullelln senU nlpHJ wire leIIeI
to the president extending congratula-
tions upon the result. This week The
Bulletin received personally auto
graphed letter from the President, indi
eating that our letter had been given his
personal attention and answered by him
and not by his secretary, as so many
letters replying to congratulations We're
necessarily handled. The presidents
letter is as follows:

There is going to be more Christmas
cheer distributed in Denver this year
than ever before. Every home will be
visited by Santa Claus. There is no
stringencv nor stinginess. Wage earners
have been steadily employed during the
year and most of them have savings ac-
counts. This week Denver banks paid
out over s5OO,OOO to 10000 thrifty Christ
mas savers. One bank alone is said to
have had 10000 depositors who during
the year accumulated funds for Christ
mas. Denver merchants are featuring in
their ads that all certificates of this
character will be readily cashed, some
of them allowing a per cent margin. De-
partment stores, corporations and en-
ployers of labor generally are giving
more this year than ever before. Christ
mas cheer is in the atmosphere every
where.

The home players met the ball quite frequently, but it went on the ground to have a visiting player shoot it along for an assist, or into the air for some fellow to get the credit of putout. Up to the eighth round, it was one, two and three order, not man in Stafford uniform reached the initial sack until Burrell busted one on the nose for clean single. Madsen followed suit, and it began to look as though local rooters could hope for score. Johnny Du- pre- whaoked one that Kaufman failed to stop, then foolish base running brought things to a disastrous close. In the ninth frame it as again one, two and three.

is satisfied with his present banking connec-
tons The transaction involves not only the
guarantee of the account TO the manufact-
urers in Holland, but the guarantee OF the
credit OF the customer TO whom the goods
were sold on this side II will be noted that
this shipment Of merchandise is not to Eu-
rope but from Europe. The point of produc-
ton and shipment is neutral country. The
merchandise could not be contraband,. as it
was bound for this country, and was, in fact,
an ordinary shipment such as has been made
for commercial purposes for many years be-
tween these parties.
| advised him that the cabegram was
probably due to the recent order of the
British Admiralty with reference 20 ship
ments from Holland and other neutral coun-
tries, but further than that I could offer no
suggestion to relieve him from his embar-
rassment or danger of an action for dam
ages for breach of contract on the part of
his customer in the United States.
These three incidents have come to my
knowledge in the regular course of business
and without my seeking. If one were look
ing for such, experiences of this kind might
be multiplied indefinitely.

"PoIlyanna" in Politics.
on of Nc Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: By al odd coincidence The Tribune
prints letter on Immoral Gladness" on the
same date in which it gives us Mr.. Wilson's
ELUSIVE jubilance of Wordsworth paraphras-
ing about the bliss" Of being alive, espe-
cially as an American, in these days. This
man, instead of bemoaning his record. his
platform vaporings and the Lusitania and his
notes, and the insults and slaughterings that
have been the lot of less blissful Americans
during his deplorable Administration-th this
man is twittering literature and humanity
yet and exhibiting a spectacle of immoral
gladness that ought to shock every behoIder
with its grotesque ineptitude-the utter in
appropriateness to existing conditions, which
has made the word "ineptitude" an insepa-
rable tag to whatever is Wilsonian.
What your correspondent says Of "Poly-
anna is most precisely appropriate to Mr..
Wilson, surely the jauntiest President that
ever essayed the role of warbler to a nation
and the world in time like this. How Won
Bernstorff must smoker when he reads a
prose poem by our rhapsode ddaskalos of
1916! The blood-curdlng laugh of loon
on the Maine lakes at midnight has its APP
propriateness and charm. But this ll-timed
and incorrigible sweetness and cachinnatory
JOY under the worst circumstances is as
CHASTITY as the chucke of a cadaver-more
awful than reassuring

Politics In the Postomces.

There is a particularly vicious signifi-
canoe in the attempt of Mr.. Ridgway, a
member Of the Democratic National FL
nance Committee, to collect campaign con-
tributions from postmasters appointed by
the present Administration, taken in con-
nection with the accusation of politics in
appointments Of fourth-class postmasters
recently made by the National Civil Ser
vice Reform League. This, it will be re
membered, amounted 10 a charge that the
civil service law had been evaded in the
selection of such postmasters and Of rural
mail carriers.
Despite endeavors covering a period Of
nearly three years, the league has been
unable 10 obtain access TO the eligible
lists Of the Federal Civil Service Commits
sion. Mr.. Mcllhenny, president Of the
commission, finally admitted that if the
records were made public it might lead TO
such criticism Of the Administration as
would seriously embarrass it," President
Wilson, appealed TO personally, declined 10
risk the criticism, and did nothing to pre-
vent his appointees from following their
unprecedented course in keeping these
public records secret
Thus the situation presented is that Of
appointment Of politicians TO Office by a
straining Of law, at the least, and sub
sequent attempt, frankly violation Of
the spirit Of the law and brazenly an at
tempt 10 evade it's direct mandate, 10 col

Booth in Alternate Roles.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Referring TO the communication from
A. L. G. regarding Edwin Booths alternating
the roles of 0thello and Iago, beg leave TO
state that saw Mr.. Booth play both Othello
and Tago at the Walnut Street Theatre, Phia-
delpha, in 1867. His alternate player on
those occasions was Mr.. Charles Barron, now
living in retirement in Boston, Mass.
Later, at his own theatre in New York
Booths, Twenty-third Street and Sixth Ave
nue., he alternated the roles with Lawrence
Barrett. have programmes of the Howard
Atheneum, Boston, 1S5S-'59 where Mr. Booth
and +. l.. Davenport (who was the manager
of the theatre) alternated the parts. Later,
at the Boston Museum, 18S3-S4, Mr.. Booth
and Mr.. Barron exchanged roles.
Your correspondent is right in stating that
Booth and Salvin did not alternate, and
while he did not compare physically with
Salvni in the role of Othello, his conception
and execution of the role were full of great
beauty and pathos-probably too poetic to
carry out the Moors passionate nature. |
have seen all, and acted with many, OF the
great Othellos within the past fifty years.
and Mr. Booth was in the front line of them.
His Iago stands unequalled.

The College Man in Politics.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: President Wilson said during his
Presidential campaign Of 1912: at must be
admitted to our shame that college men
have not borne a very active relationship to
public life in this country in the past"
was much interested, therefore, to read
in the papers OF Hughes National College
League" aiming to arouse TO political activ-
ity a quarter of a million college men. This
movement, judging from the list of men as
ISOLATED with it, is not the product of par
tisan machine, but rather the general awak-
oning of our more highly educated citizens
to their responsibilities in a representative
government II seems to me healthy ma
tional symptom, quite unforeseen, no doubt,
in either magnitude or direction by Presi-
dent Wilson in 1912

Individual Responsibility for Fires.

All over the country the anniversary Of
the great Chicago fre-yesterday-was
celebrated as "Fire Prevention Day." In
the parade arranged by Fire Commissioner
Adamson and the accompanying municipal
exercises this city had an impressive pres
entation of what it means to huge mod
ern community to be as careless as are
Americans. 1t is to be hoped the lesson
was taken to heart.
Officials and business men, for the most
part, are awake to the significance Of the
huge annual fire loss, but there is much
room for improvement in the attitude Of
the average individual. That can Only be
changed by such educational work as that
Of yesterday, persisted in and hammered
home. The child taught in school the
menace of playing with matches, the dan
gers Of the carelessly-thrown cigar, the
risk of kerosene, gasolene and the like in
households, is likely thereafter to be extra
cautious. The individual who is made TO
understand that three out of each four
fires in the day are due solely to some
body's heedlessness is likely thereafter to
be more thoughtful. The lesson which
needs be taught, the lesson which fire
prevention day impresses on every person
who gives it moments thought, is indi-
vidual responsibility. With that must go
the material but potent argument that
each person pays for all the great waste.
When the public finally comes to under
stand that each individual in the country is
poorer about S. year by reason of what
fire removes from the world and what it
costs to maintain fire departments, the
problem will be wellnigh solved
