1.-TWO more days remain for the
active career of Boyd's theater
as place for Omaha folks to
congregate and enjoy the best that
IS offered by the stage. Its long and
honorable history is drawing fast to
a close, for with Saturday night it
ends. A host of pleasant associa-
tons cluster around this playhouse,
and it is eminently fitting that as
sweet and wholesome play as
May Time" should have been Sc
leeted for The closing performance.
The play is one that teaches lesson
of the ultimate triumph of love, and
may be prophetic in the sense that in
time Boyd's will have worthy sue
cessor. However that may be, the
play is we'll worth seeing for itself.
Those dancers and entertainers,
tanchon and Marco, are appearing
at the Bra.ideis theater this week in
their revue, Lets Co." which ran
Tor 10 weeks in San Francisco.
They are supported by Nelson and
Chain, comedians with way their
own; Arthur West, blackfaced mar
vel; Dave Lerner, Aileen Miller and
"a host of others, including the go
most beautiful girls in the world"
At the Orpheum this week Ger
trude Hoffman, is presenting a
series of dances and impersonations
to capacity houses. Her scenic ac-
ccssories require special corps Of
stage hands. Her act opens with a
choreographic number, "The White
Peacock" This is followed by "The
Dance of Victory" and then come
impressions of stage celebrities such
as Eddie Foy, Fanny Bride, Bessie
Mccoy and Ann Pennington. Her
offering is done almost exclusively
by herself. although she carries a
special orchestra, which is under the
direction OF Max Hoffman,. Her
scenic effects and dressing require
ments are unique. She concludes
with a drum performance which she
calls "A Trip to Coney Island" The
bill which has Miss Hoffman, for a
l,eadliner is rich in comedy features.

Actors have often claimed that
they were so funny that they
knocked the audience out of their
seats, but it is seldom that anyone
died from laughing in a theater.
But such was the case when "Busi-
ness Before Pleasure" played at the
Hartman theater in Columbus, O.,
several weeks ago. A woman, af-
fected with heart trouble, collapsed
in her seat while watching Abe Pot

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing 1t

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at
anv drng store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for
months. ..
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy, lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loos-
ems and takes out every particle Of
dust, dirt and dadndruff.

And Incidents 80 Years
Ago Reveals Some
Interesting Facts.

Under bad manners, as under graver

Woman SURFACE Justined.

New York Herald: The women of
the United States who cast ballots for
the first time justified by the level
headedness of their conduct the poll
cy which enfranchised them.
The fears of some citizens that in
political contests women would fall
below the plane of disinterestedness
attained by men have been shown to
be without foundation. The assertion
frequently heard that at the polls
women would fall in vision and in
when called upon to
decide any except parochial questions
has been proved to be baseless. By
their steadfastness to sound doctrines,
by their intelligent treatment of ma
tional problems, the women of the
United States have abundantly vindi-
Gated the judgment that put the ballot
into their hands.

EVIL CONDITIONS EXPOSED.

4 A state legislative committee to investigate
the building trades in New York City has un;
covered detestable condition Of things. There
has been brought to light scandalous, shocking
noisome practices. For example, it has been
found that strike was called on a two-mllllon-
construction job, and called off when twenty
! five thousand dollars was paid for dong SO.
Also, that over four hundred plumbing concerns
submitted their bids on jobs to the same attor-
ney who acted as sort of clearing house ana
| kept all their bids OH work up to an agreed
high point.
What rotten elements there are in human So
Iciety, what organized grating and greed and
Iprofiteering on every hand! And colncldent
with this we have the most startling wave OF
burglary, robbery, murder and crimes of greed
that ever swept our land Is it not worth while
to wonder what relation there may be between
the two, and how far rapacity under color of
law is held by criminals to justify their deeds
in defiance of law? AS matter of ethics the
distinction is rather shadowy between a con-
scienceless gouger, corrupt labor leader who
calls an unjust strike which nets him twenty
five thousand dollars and desperate who robs
a bank. One motive, greed, underlies them all;
and one theory of life, to get money at any cost,
by any means, in any way. As for the root OF
the trouble, is it not that we have come to set
too much store on the things Of this life? Is not
materialism the disease which manifests in SO
many evil ways!

An Analysis Of Wilson.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: History
will give to Woodrow Wilson his
proper place in the annals of
America and OF the world, and we
have no doubt it will be high place,
but in the eyes of his contempora-
ries his virtues have been obscured
by his faults. The judgment of the
people is not so much upon his pur-
poses as upon his methods, not SO
much upon what he did as upon how
he did. Undoubtedly there was TO
little in his aims and in his acts that
justified condemnation, but 1t was
the manner of them that aroused the
larger hostility. a hostility so great
that it was but little softened by his
affliction, and which discredited the
things he did and would do that JUS
tofied admiration. In thiss strong
and deep tide of public opinion the
trades of Cox were but chips upon
the crests of the waves, utterly futile
to stay the current, The people had
decided, and on the whole had wisely
decided, for the defects they con-
demned are fatal to good govern
ment.

Tedious Yotino.

Des Moines Tribune: we should
never come to another national cleo
ton with the frontier way of voting
we have now. 1t was all right for the
days it was gotten up for, when there
were few people, and an election was
a sort of community round up. Every
body had plenty of time and an cleo
ton was a picnic.
Today voting must be reduced to a
scientific proposition, and done in
business like way or people are going
to tire of it. The legislature ought
to act at once.
