A COMPLICATED CASE

Ordinarily the election of successor
TO the late Senator Husting Of Wiscon-
sin would have attracted little If any
attention outside Of the confines OF
that State, but a combination of cir
cumstanceS have conspired TO invest
the coming contest with IN interest
national in its character. Senator La
Toilette, the surviving representative
OF the State In the United States
Senate. has by his active opposition to
the war, out as we'll us in the Senate.
stands as either rejecting the majority
sentiment Of his constituency or as
misrepresenting It. Besides his public
utterances on the position OF the
United States in this war have been so
radical that they are under investiga-
ton by a subcommittee Of the Senate
as to their alleged sedttious or trea-
sonable character.
Now the national interest In the
selection Of a successor to Senator
Husting is whether man will be
chosen to represent the attitude OF
Husting, who was warm supporter
OF the administration and valiant de-
fender Of the justice Of our cause
against Germany. or follower OF the
La Toilette propaganda. But this issue
is likely to be clouded by the comPlica-
tons that will arise over the method
OF filling the vacancy. The governor
does not possess the power TO make a
temporary appointment without spe-
cial authorization by the legislature.
He Is opposed to calling a special efec-
ton at this time. but intends instead
70 ask the legislature for authority to
annoint a senator to serve until De-
cemher OF next year. Not only the
La Toilette element, but many on the
other side object to this plan and de-
sire to have the question settled forth
with.
There is another question involved
Mr.. Husting was Democrat. Wis
consin is accounted as a dependable
Republican State. The governor is
Republican. and naturally his appoint
ment would be Republican. The
Democrats. in the Legislature will un-
questionably oppose giving the Cover
nor the appointing power. II Senator
La Toilette can induce enough Repub-
licans to vote with the Democrats the
legislature may refuse to empower
the governor to appoint. Could this
hc construed as vindication for La
Folletteo We do not think so. Moth
inc will settle that question but pop
,Ilar vote. and when that test comes
we are sure Wisconsin will be found
patriotic and loyal in her choice, and
in no way dominated by the perverted
views OF Il man unfortunately obsessed
with 700 large a sense of his own i'm
portance.

COOPERATION OF PUBLIC

The conterencr on the needs OF
transportation on the Ohio river held
= in this city has done we'll in outlining
" an intelligent and practical pro-
gram. bur it will be up to the people
and the interests 70 be benefited to
give definite expression TO the policies
outlined. Nothing is truer than the
observation Of an informed writer on
the development Of inland water
transportation OF the country that the
public through its own indifference
has assisted in defrauding itself OF its
full transportation rights" This COM
meD is reinforced by q warming
sounded b. the Patriotic Education
Society, which points out that in this
country scant attention has been given
10 the capacity and poteuti:llitie$ OF
riers. But il Europe nlard water
wars are being used TO their utmost
and are being constantly improved.
At time when Germany is pressed
hard in every sense, sh" has been
spending great sums 10 improve her
canal systems. To give one significant
instance OF this fact: In February.
1917. the comparatively small State Of
Bavaria. tho $ou1herrmost State Of
the German Empire. voted sl51.6I1,
900 To build Davari:iS share OF the
canal to Connec; the Danube and the
Rhine. Frnm the very beginning of
the war 20 ;he present time France
and Germany have nor ONLY main
tanned and fully operated their exist
fling waterways, bur have been steadily
building more.
According 10 :. \. Thompson. secre-

pany's latest contribution TO the
Paramount program, Still Wat
ers," which is the attraction al the
Newark Opera House, March 9th.
Still Waters" which is rare
combination Of pastoral romance,
rural comedy and thrilling drama,
was written especially for Miss
Clark by Edith Barnard DelanD.
the well-known novelist. In il the
diminutive star has one Of the
greatest opportunities Of her
screen career for the display Of
her remarkable versatility.
Having established reputation
as superb coincidence and an IN
surpassable coQuetJe, Miss Clark
merits unreservsd recognition as
an emotional actress by her splsn-
did work in the role Of Nesta, the
little girl who is to all intsnts and
purposes prisoner on canal
boat, where she is kept by her
grandfather in the hope of pre-
venting her from running away to
become a circus performer. That
was the unhappy fate of Nesta's
mother, and the old man lives in
mortal terror lest the little girl
should answer the same call.
The grandfather fears are real
lied. but not until Nesta has met
and fallen in love with 3 young
doctor who lives near the canal.
Her unfounded belief in the du-
pliciry Of the doctor and the stern
ness of her grandfather finally
drive NesJa TO run away and Join
the circus. where she soon finds
herself the prey Of the brutal ring
master The part which the doctor
plays in saving Nesta from the
ring-master and the discovery Of
the identity Of the invalid Pier
rette. whom Nesta supplants in the
circus, bring the story TO thrill
ling and dramatic close.
An entire circus was leased for
the presentation OF those portions
Of the story which have TO do with
the circus, and the payers spent
three weeks al Easton, Pa. for the
purpose Of obtaining the proper
atmosphere for that part Of the
action which transpires along the
canal and on the old barge. The
scenic beauty Of the Delaware
River and the Lehigh Valley canal.
