ers to be the best stage lover we
have had since Lawrene Barrett;
Wilton Lackaye, who made himself

who, it is said by many, had more
to do with the making "A Fool

ly hah Of the vast sum appropriated in
the wa had been thrown away In
needless appropriations.
His speech was a scorching excoria-

Senate as volcing the keynote OF the
Republicans on economies which will
be urged and the closer scrutiny OF
government expenditures which must
be practiced II the Republican Con-
gress soon to come into being runs
true to form.
Senator Smoot UTAH interposed sug-
gestions In the course OF Senator Pen
roses address in regard 10 the agTe-
gate appropriations by the present Con
gress.
Senator Penrose had reviewed the
extraordinary list now on the calendars

through the list, devoting caustic COM
ment TO each, when Senator Smoot sug-
gested there were pending In addition
annual enactments which when passed
would add another siOOO0.OOO.OO0 TO the
expenditure OF the government In the
ensuing fiscal year.
