any case there's something wrong.
There's something wrong-as
ever so many people are coming to
see-in the fact that all young
people haven't plenty of opportun-
lty to express themselves dramati-
cally. For the interesting thing is
that there's really something be-
hind that longing that most young
girls are obsessed by, to mount
stage and impersonate a character
and thrill the waiting audience
that sits close-packed there be-
low ones feet.
II isn't only that the young peo-
pie want to act. They can act.
There's something wonderful and
fluid about human beings under
twenty, before their personalities
are thoroughly stiffened and set. "
Have you ever seen a dramatic
performance at a school or COL
lege? And weren't you amazed by
it? Perhaps there wasn't one
among them who had unmistakabIe
genius as an actor. But they could
act because they were young and
loved II. The same group, ten
years later, couldn't do the same
thing.

Especially for Washington Women

TIME other day a young Wash
ington girl told me the
secret wish of her heart.
She began quite timidly. |
think it may be that she had never
said it aloud before. She felt that
her desire was individual and
strange and that it would surprise
me greatly. Being very young and
very innocent, she said as much.
She wanted to so on the stage.
Doesn't that awake echoes of
stined longings? Who OF us hasn't
wanted to go on the stage? What
normal girl OF sixteen, full Of
imagination, idealism, undirected
emotion, doesn't long for dramatic
experience? Her own life doesn't
begin to express her. It's a great
deal too tame. Don't we all re-
member how that is? There must
be some way OF expressing our
varied and remarkable and smoth-
cred selves. And there is. There's
the theater.
Now the pitiful thing is that al
though girls have always had this
feeling, and boys, too, manv of
them, so little has been done about
il. Unless a girl has exceptional
confidence in herself, she prob
ably never even mentions this
dream of hers. II seems TO her
too wild and daring for ordinary
mortal realization. So although
it's like a flaming torch TO her
thoughts for possibly half dozen
years, encouragement makes it
cold and dim at last and the girl
succeeds in recoaciling herself to
the humdrum world that she and
the rest of us live in ever after.
Bound for Broadway.
Now and then, OF course, there's
a girl who fights for her dream.
Either she is uncommonly good
looking, or she has unusual belief
in herself, and she's able to think
of herself on a lighted stage as
something natural and possible. So
she does all the hard and disagree
able things that are necessary in
the way OF preparation before she
can secure even the smallest wedge
OF an opportunity. And people
who know great deal about stage
life will tell you that such a girl
would better spare her pains. be-
cause sne won't care for her op-
portunity when she gets il, since
there's nothing behind the scenes
but disallusionment-

DELEGATE SITUATION

Wick the Prophet
(NOme Industrial Worker


The genial Wick will come before
the people as the one and only, but
as the one and only who, by unfair
means. has been kept from working
for the territory during these incon-
seQuential moons. He will however
appeal to the dear people that now
that he has been rehabilitated and his
rights restored, they should rally once
more to make his delegateship a per-
manency beyond peradventure.
The genial Sulzer will doubtless
also do some campaigning and point
to an unproyocative career as Alas
kas. delegate while the pickering that
characterized the sessions of former
years has been conspicuous by its
absence.
Wickersham has the distinct advan-
tage Of having persuaded large num-
rises and sets familiarly close to his
person. and he has the still more dis
tinctive advantage OF possessing such
followers that each supporter is an
apostle carrying the faith which says
Allah is great and Wickersham is
Allah's prophet. 1t is apparently not
desired by the committee on elections
chat young Mr.. Sulzer should just yet
have an opportunity of establishing a
schism in Alaska.

Anti-Machine Sentiment

The fact that a committee of con

decided that the election of Mr. Sulzer
was not regular. will cause the shift

and the influence OF the powerful Dem
oCratic machine will be taxed to the
utmost to prevent a landslide The
voters of Alaska like a square deal
and many OF them now feel. as the
result of the decision of the congress
siOnal committee, that Mr.. Wicker
sham was not treated with fairness
by Judge Jennings and the other
powerful Democratic supporters of
Mr. Sulzer.
Mr.. Sulzer will find, upon his return
to Alaska to conduct his campaign,
that sentiment is not so much against
him as against the men who were
responsible for the decision which en-.
abled him to go to Washington. And
