Three-Act Comedy, Lonely Soldiers,

An audience of only fair proportions

in the Auditorium last evening, but
those present were quite fascinated by
the subtle charm Of the distinguished

serious plays. Miss Anglin showed that
she was not welded to the dramas Of

was in happy frame Of mind through
out the performance.
The play is praiseworthv, especially
for the wit of the dialogue and the
charm Of the love story, aud Miss An

with rare tenderness. The complexities
which beset her in her attempt to look
after the welfare Of two officers who

THE IRISH CONVENTION.

The Irish convention is not a re- prtsentatiye convention. It is to s5e1tIe the Irish question. The de- iexates must be approved by the government and its secretary is an Englishman. All the representa- tion has been settled by the Lloyd George government and it has been forbidden in Ireland to criticize in any way its deliberations or to sub ie,t any Of it's delegates to harsh criticism. It is an Anglo-Irish plan to settle the Home Rule question and it's very nature torbids any such a settlement.
 Possibly it is to be regarded as many American editors affect to regard it evidence of new era os democracy for Ireland. Judg- .ng Dv the acid remarks Of the Irish papers on the subject it possesses in no small degree the peculiar Il. mutations placed upon these later day conceptions of what is demo fFacy.

READ BOTH SIDES.

All those who desire to hold fast 10 the truth must read every side Of the question. They must devote as much attention to the writings e>f those. who are opposed to them .,s Of those whose ideas are in ac- cord with their own. The man who reads only one side of any question uil} not be posted. He will more over be from time to time subjected to crushing arguments which he cannot answer. To be confident of Fhr truth one must read every side and to hold fast that which convin- .es as the truth.
 We believe the superiority of the position of the radical is because nH ms penetrated the truth through a forest of doubts after a painstak- tuy review of every side of the qucstion. One often wonders why socialist economists find it difficult to induce men to debate questions  that the average socialist who has studied economics knows both .5iucs: his opponets as well as his own and has picked his o"n be- cause the facts couyIuced him Of its correctness.
 Without knowing well the posi- lion which an opponent of ones jde&s will take, and without know. ing upon what he has based his beliefs. no man can be said to know a question, nor has he any intelli- gent basis for his opinions. How sioes he know that his opponent may not have unanswerable urgu- Tnents against him.

quiring aliens to submit to the draft has been the occasion of con siderable discussion especially about Americanizing the Alien.
 It has been astonishing to many Americans that aliens presented no very great enthusiasm for the na- tion where they worked and they blamed the aliens, which was ex- tremcly natural.
 They never had reason to inyes- tigate the question and find the measure of economic justice and industrial fair play which the alien received.
 The alien has been extremely useful to America. Much more useful as a human being than Am erica has in quite good many cases been to him. It may we'll be that he bettered his lot financially in coming to America, but if the betterment IS to be tested by the most scientific test. namely long evity, the facts hardly show that he did so.
 It has not been the fault of the American people But it has been the fault of American industrial chiefs and American corporations.
 The American corporations are not necessarily controlled by Am orleans. The Empress of Germany owns silk mills ill New Jersey and the Tar of Russia is one of the most extensive stockholders in the Pennsylvania railroad.
 Foreign elements have control of American steel to almost the same extent as they are controlled by American financial groups, which in turn have foreign alliances and ramifications wnich de-nationaiize such Louses as Morgan CT Kuhn Loeb and Go, tue American repre- sertatives of the Rocschilds.
 Now the alien immigration was in demand and is in demand. He was in demand with no intention of affording him an opportunity of en- towing those blessings and privileges which the senators and legislators dilate upon He was in demand to labor in the mines. the mills, the factories. and the railroads for a wretchedly incompetent salary more often than not for twelve hours a day and for seven days a week ,at toll which tested his en- durance for the full extent of that | tine. He lasted an average of four or at most five years, his industria death r4le is greater anually thar the losses during the Civil War anC he is thrust into warrtns and tene- mons notable only for filth ant diseaes and high rentals.
 If he worked for a railroad ht was given comfort in a rehabilitat eG box ear of too small carrying capacity to be profitable freigh carrier and left on a side track tC stink in numbers in double hunks thick as herrings in a barrel.
 Notwithstanding this. the alier whC has gone through it all, is cx pected to develop a love for thu country in the same degree as thu alien who has come here with some degree of wealth and made none! and prospered.
 That is marn!y thinking upsid.
