The vaudeville show given last night by the Arctic Brotherhood was one of the first pleasant diversions Tn amusements this winter. We have had dances, many most enjoyable ones, and three times q week we have the movies, but last night we had some thing just little bit different and the several hundred persons in atten- lance appreciated every one of the five acts and would have readily ac- cepted more. Even the orchestra overtures between the acts seemed different last night and Mrs. McNecr and the other musicians entered thor oughly into the spirit of the occasion.
 The first number was by Messrs. Murphy, Riley, Hannon, Adams, Strauyhan, and Wier, the boys of the U. $. Radio station in sketch en- titled Thirty Minutes ;n a Radi1 Station" although announcer Frank Cotter tried to cut their act down hy saving that it was twenty minutes, etc" The boys had good time and so did the audience. They sang, read radiograms of local hits, drilled and punned each other, keenly displaying their own good nature which vas read ily caught by those in front. A radio set in operation was one little side play of the act which was also appre- ciated.
 Banjo Bill in song made a hit. first singing "There is just little Monkey in you and l" then playing very clevelIy seven variations of "An- nie Laurie" Banjo Bill was forced to respond to we'll earned encore.
 Rich and Hutton presented a sketch aboundiug in good lines and business with new disappearing act. For an encore they gave soft shoe dancing, each one taking half the audience for support. They were so clever iii their efforts that the audience as whole, ro,md!y applauded both for their r1er- ited work.
 The Royal Hawaiian Double Sextet composed of MessrS. Murphy and Hannon, and ten girls of Seward, (girls is right for although there were five mesdames in the bunch, the! looked so sweet-sixteen-iike, in thcil white dresses and yellow hair ribbons, that the mesdames, from the front were as baby looking as the five miss es.) made a most favorable impress sion. Hawaiian airs appeals to ali and the five different numbers by the girls, were splendidly given although only few rehearsals were held. Var jed color lights played upon the girls while they were giving their turn and also when they responded to an eh' core. Besides the two gentlemen Tn this act the others were: Mesdames Ellsworth, Woolley, Cotter, Martin, Brainerd; Misses Shea, Cooper, Les lie, Margaret and Elizabeth Romig.
 The final act of the evening, on the stage, was something new, a human cock fight, with the Shellhon broth CTS, the stars. The audience whetted up to the sport and appreciated this bit of oddity.

The Banquet at Buckingham Palace

We are not raising any question of propriety. We only wondering with what emotions the American people will read the elaborate accounts of the pro ceedngs in Buckingham Palace in which President and Mrs Wilson the central figures around whom dukes and earls, lords and knights revolyed a setting for the occasion; whether they will with pride other feeling that the presi- dent is seated by the king next throne, which is nowhere regarded symbol of democracy.
 We do suppose that leve-headed Americans will be moved one way another by the stories of this entertainment But there many people who not level headed We have among bol- shevists and anarchists who will doubt make the most of this royal banquet to their followers that approve of royalty and that not far from it's adoption There other good citzens who have almost abnormal hatred of royalty. and who must think that the president has crossed gulf which will forever separate the White House from Jeffersonian smpcity-our boast for more than a century
 The Rubcon, small stream flowing between Cis- Alpine Gaul and Italy proper is not nearly wide as the Atlantic, yet some Americans well remember that that stream separated Rome, the republic from Rome, the empre that the crossing of it was the end of the republic. Such apprehension may be awakened the effect of the presidents associa ton with royalty is groundess but it will be ex- istent
 The effect of these things, feea certain, will be such that if we were in the place of Mir Creel would have insisted a toning down of the report of the banquet and we would have left something to conjecture instead of parading every formaty which attended epocha the palace for two three hundred years"

A Warning to the Victors

Representative Fess, chairman of the republican congressional committee his republican col leagues that they show the country that they worthy of the confidence the have reposed in them It partly vote oI confidence in the republican party and partly vote of a lack of fderce in the present administration was not a blind expression of confidence of willingness follow wther the majority party in the congress might lead but it rather expression of hope that the party would go in the right direction Unless
 this is fulfilled much of the popular expressed in the November vote will likely be withdrawn in 1920.
 The warning is intended to stop unseemly scramble among republican congressman the speakershp and committee assignments It was not the intention of the voters to provide places for tain members of the party and if the persist in making a personal of the placed upon them they will not be the victors two years hence.
 After wandering of ten years in the wilderness of defeat, it might be supposed that the republican leaders now would have sense enough to know that the independent voter is be trfed with and that the independent is increasing in numbers every day.

A Cuban Question

There is a trial going on in Cuba before solemn tribunal to decide whether editor newspaper Havana is or is not gentleman On the issue will depend whether not duel will be fought. The man who raised this question regarding the character of the editor is a Cuban official who, in public statement had characterized the editor coward, was disclosed in uprising or revolution in which that country was involved in 1917. something of which the world has not heard has forgotten.
 If this matter were left to a jury composed of American soldiers who served with the Cubans in Cuba during the Spanish American war. it would probably be decided that whether not the editor is a gentleman, according to their way of thinking, there is reason why the duel should not proceed The same parties fought duel years ago. before the of which the charge of oowardice grew If the editor worthy then fight, he is unworthy by reason of his conduct in 1917. A jury of American soldiers, from their iperience would no doubt regard cowardice asa na- tona characteristic and that any citizen of Cuba possessing that any other national characteristic
 is entitled all natural privileges even the foolish one of fighting duel.
 Whether or not one is gentleman depends times on geography sometimes on national customs. We have doubt there are gentlemen in America who would not pass for gentlemen in Cuba, France, Great Britain, Germany or Tmbuctoo. A close ob- server of the customs conventions country
 in which he lives or travels is a gentleman in that country.

HAWLEY CAN BEAT BORAH.
FRED Il. DUBOIS REPORT
Former Senator Gives Findings After
Visit to Idaho; Finds Senior Mem
ber Slipping; Administration Can
Control.

The Democratic national committee
has been advised by former Senator
Fred T. Dubois that there is a possibil-
ity of electing two Democratic senators
in Idaho this fall This is Dubois first
report from his home state since he
went west a month ago to size up the
situation and advise on the congress
sional and senatorial outlook, not only
in Idaho but in other far western
states.
According to the word from Du
bois if former Governor Hawley can
be persuaded to stay out of the short
term senatorial contest, thus getting
him out of Senator Nugents way, and
will run against ,Borah for the long
term and if the national administra-
ton will throw its influence into the
Idaho campaign Dubois believes that
both Nugent and Hawley can be
elected
Dubois has reported that there is
considerable opposition to Senator
Borah in his own party, coming main
| " from business interests in the state,
and that his position on the woman
suffrage resolution will hurt him and
help Hawley and he has advised that
if the matter is properly managed and
| iC Hawiey will abide by the directions
to be given him two Democratic SEN
ators will surely be elected Dubois
further reported that former Cover
nor Hawley had partly agreed to the
plan some months ago.
Dubois was appointed a member OF
the board of ordnance and fOrutica-
tions but as that body had nothing to
do during the summer he was asked
by the Democratic national committee
to look after the administration IN
Democratic politics in western states
and he is now west on this mission
for the national committee.
At the time Dubois went west il
was his idea or the idea of those send
ing him to get Hawley out of the sen
atorial race so that Senator Nugent
would have a clear field but after
spending several weeks in Idaho Du-
bois concluded it was necessary tC
take care Of Hawley and this led tc
the plan TO induce Hawley to run foi
the long instead of the short term.
Hawley is reported TO be willing tc
20 after the long term if he can re
ceive assurances that the administra-
ton will back him to the limit with
a view to defeating BOrah. Dubois
report was sent to Washington to zee
out the administration.
