of the world, surely something is due to be said about the heart of America. Rrom the beginning of this campaign there has been/a per sistent effort upon the part of our opponents to divert attention from the most important issues of the cam 'paign, to concentrate the interest of the voters upon the speculative propositions with reference to our foreign relations But we do not propose that they shall evade the discussion or ignore their responsi- bilities for the conditions which confront us.
 Concerned With "Theory"
 'We have, for the past eight years, had an administration which has been more concerned with theory than with performance, more interested in in ternationality than in nationality. We have had an administration always abroad at. home, and never at home abroad. The administration placed in power by the democratic party in 1912 has again to make a report of it's stewardship.
 Tn 1913 the democratic party went into power with a promise to reduce what was then considered the high

vice employees in the rolls of the gov ernment. There was a continuous ad- dition, and the latest estimate of the civil service commission indicates that the number is approximately 657, ,000 Of course our world war ma chine created the need for more help in nearly all the departments but since the war the civil list has not shrunk even approximately to peace basis.
 Take up the question or govern ment in any phase and we find upon the part of this administration the same incapacity or ineptitude the same want of foresight, the same lack of practical comprehension of busi- ness as applied to government.
 Made Appealing" Talk
 Four years ago the public discon- tent with the conduct of affairs was already so great that the party in power would have been driven out of office except for the appealing state ment that the president had kept us out of war And yet at that very time the administration knew definite ly absolutely that our entry into the war was inevitable. Yet with that knowledge concealed from the people, withheld from congress, the campaign of false pretense was continued No steps were taken to prepare for our entry

Antis Lose Plea to Rush

Court Refuses to Certify Ap-

Acfion hx Secretary Colby

ACkSOH Oy DeCs eSos COsOy
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.--Opponents
of woman suffrage received tempo
rary setback to-day in their efforts to
expedite appeal from the decision Of
Justice Bailey. of the District Of Co.
lumbia Supreme Court, refusing an
injunction to prevent Secretary Of
State Colby from promulgating the
suffrage amendment.
Chief Justice Smyth, of the District
of Columbia Court of Appeals, denied
the petition of suffrage opponents as
represented in the American Constitu-
tional League for certifcation of the
case to the United States Supreme
Court without waiting for a decision
by the appellate tribunal.
The chief Justice held that he lacked
authority to certify under a decision
of the-United States Supreme Court
which held that such certincation
could be made only where the decision
Of the local appellate tribunal was
final. AS there is constitutional
question involved in the suffrage case,
there would be right Of appeal from
decision Of the Court Of Appeals to
the United States Supreme Court.
Counsel for the anti-suffragists,
however, have not abandoned hope of
getting the case into the highest
court in the land before Election Day,
and when the Court Of Appeals con
vencs October 4 will make motion
to advance the case on the calendar
and probably request that their conten-
tion be ovcrruled in order that they

Maeterlincl Is
Held Cause of
Pond Failure
Lyceum Bureau Says Poet
Failed to Keep Terms of
Lecture Contract and
Caused Its Bankruptcy
Author Sued for $4,000
Counsel Asserts 5000 in
Prospective Profits Was
Lost on the Tour

The Pond Lyceum Bureau, estab-
lished in 1873 and one of the most
widely known concerns of its kind in
the world, filed a petition in bank
ruptcy in the United States District
Court in Newark yesterday. Winfield
S. Angleman, of Plainfeld, N. j., coun-
sci for the bureau, charges that the
financial collapse of the bureau was
due to the alleged failure of Maurice
Macterlinck, the Belgian poet, to keep
the terms of a lecture contract which
he entered into with the Pond bureau
nearly a year ago.
The bankruptcy petition gives the
liabilities of the company as $50, ,259 20.
The assets are placed at $72,O44.54,
which include a claim of $4,000
against the author of 1.-THE Blue Bird"
Angleman contends that the Pond
Lyceum Bureau entered into contract
with Maeterlinck for series of lee
lures, had booked the tour and had ex-
pended large sum Of money in the pre-
liminary plans. If Maeterlnck had COM
pleted his contract, Angleman asserts,
the Pond Lyceum Bureau would have
cleared net profit of $4,000. AS a
result of the poets alleged failure to
meet his lecture engagements, the or
ganlzation was confronted with finan-
cial obligations that it was unable to
meet. Bankruptcy proceedings, the
lawyer says, were decided upon as the
only way out.
There are about fifty creditors, ac-
cording to Angleman, and the chief
creditor, it is said, is the Equitable
Trust Company of New York, which
holds notes for $4,000.
The feud between James Burton
Pond, head of the Pond Bureau, and
Maeterlinck broke out almost as soon
as the Belgian poet arrived in this
country last January. 1t was said that
the Pond Bureau had contracted with
Maeterlinck for series of forty lee
lures, and the poet, according to the
terms of the contract, was to receive
$4,000 for the forty lectures, and of
the moneys received above this sum
Maeterlinck was to receive 70 per cent
and the Pond Bureau 30 per cent.
Maeterlinck repudiated his contract.
it was alleged, after he had delivered
three lectures.
Maeterlinck's attorneys went to court
in an attempt to gain possession of the
receipts for the initial lectures, and
later, Pond, through his attorneys
sought to restrain the poet from lee
turing under auspices other than those
of the Pond Bureau.
Ultimately the Pond Bureau brought
suit for s50,0o0 against Maeterlinck for
alleged breach of contract, and that
suit is still pending. Meanwhile, Mae
terllnck, after experimenting with a
new manager, abandoned the lecture
plan altogether and signed q contract
with a film-producing company to 20
to Los Angeles and write scenarios.
The national lecture tour, originally
planned by the Pond Bureau, was sue
ceeded by similar enterprise, under
the auspices of the film company,
which chartered a special car for the
poet, arranged an itinerary, and made
cross-counrry tour to Los Angeles.
Little was heard about Maeterlinck
after he arrived in Los Angeles. 1t
was reported that he had quietly de-
parted for home.

and they called In the gunsmith to

AN EASY FRENCH LESSON

THE perils of linguistic ignorance arc
l. emphasized in n little cable dis o
patch, which has lately been going the
rounds. concerning a party Of French

were lined with cases of dynamite.
That the boxes were so marked was said

crow. who. it was carefully explained

The French, be it granted. speak a
funny tongue. They say oh" when
they moan water and "hein" when they
mean oh" They say ma poo when
they mean there isn't any more. .
And yet their language, does enjoy oc-
casioual glimpses of sanity. for it hap
pens to spell dynamite precisely in the
good old American fashion.
All Of which goes to prove that a good
story has been spoiled. for. presuminp
that these ball guo-ts were literatc. the
conscious rashncss of their conduct in
duccs thrills. If they danced by dyna
mite. they knew it.
And any time our own compatriotS

TO do is to ask for stick or two of
this explosive in French, language
which for all its faults is not yet ut
