act. The Georgia Hunch" and the

Jack Princeton, in the role of a

Is Just bubbling over with Stiffness.
He shoots a lot of humor into a fan

which young man dreams of four
girls. all of whom come to visit him
at his home.
Anna Held, jr., looks pretty, dis
plays some very daring costumes, and
recites a little piece. She's all right

room where the tragedy has occurred.
shields the girl by having II appear
that the youth committed suicide. The
girl marries the governor.
There comes a time when Glenn
Prewitt's vote is needed to elect the
governor-senator to Washington. But
In exchange for this vote he demands
that the governor pardon a friend Of
his who has been indicted for embez-
zling public funds. The governor re-
fuses. 1t develops that the em6exzler
has loaned the money to Mrs. Prewitt
to pay for an operation to save her
husbands life, and that the wife had
been unable to repay the money.
This is revealed in the State senate
by the governors political aides.
Prewftt, enrage0 at tne manner IN
which his wife's name has been drag
ged into the matter. reveals that the
governors wife killed the village
youth.
From this point. the play moves to
a swift denouement where the gov
ernor pardons his wife, and tho final
curtain comes down on restored har-
mony and glowing future prospects
for the governor.
At times. the credulity Of the audi
ence IL sorely tried by improbable
situations. Yet. In Justice, IL must
be mentioned that the superb acting
of various members OF the cast litIs
the play above this handicap. and
makes IT actually enjoyable.
Incidentally, 1t Is rather mean
trick upon an audience that Miss Tell
should appear on the stage only in
the frst act and last act, and q few
moments in the second.
Some excellent character portrayals
are presented by Edmund Gurney.
Kate Morgan, Romano Calender.
Charles Bunnel, Patrick Barrett and
bers Of the cast, In straight parts, did
work well above the usual standard
The settings are unusually nne. The
first act presents some pretty cleo
trical effects which have much to do
with the action of the play. while
the third act presents a scene In the
senate chamber of the State capital
that is truly massive. and that drew
a burst of spontaneous applause at
the rise Of the curtain.

IT HE most notable event Of Van
4 Buren's administration was the
occurrence Of one of the great panics
from which in the nineteenth century
the country regularly collapsed every Is
or 20 years, as in 1919, 1887, 1857,
1873 and in 1893. Those periodic
prostrat!ons always followed wild de-
hauches in speculation. but since it is
convenient and consoling to blame
some one else for our own sins, the
president invariably has been made
the scapegOat in each period Of hard
times.

States bank caused financial disturb

"By thunder!" the Van Rurenite

Van Buren, became the pioneer
national campaign manager when he
made an extended electioneering tour
for Jackson. Webster declared that
he did more for the election OF 'oid
Hickory" than any other 10 men.
In that fierce Jackson campaign
Van Buren, took the party nomination
for governor of New York Being
elected, he resigned from the senate
and then, after only two months IN
the vovernorship. he resigned again

cabinet. Thus he held within Il

Boys and Dog Dig UP $1,000.

Four schoolboys, while spending the
Whitsuntide holidays in Mulhuddert a
village outside Dublin, rafting with a
terrier, discovered hoard OF more
than f400 In sovereigns (normally
$4,000 in rat hole. The news quick
ly spread, and local postman claimed
the money as his. He says about f400
was left to him by his father, black
smith, who had inherited it from his
father, and TO keep it safely in these
troublous times the postman buried it
in field where 1t would still have re-
manned but for the inquisitive terrier
The postman's claim was admitted
unanimously and the parents of the
boys returned him sums amounting TO
about f150. Local volunteers are
making inquiries with view TO hav-
ing the balance of the money restored.

MARTIN VAN BUREN, was the
A'A first machine made politician in
me presidency, and he was more than
tliat when put to the test; he was the
hFSt OF the presidents to have been
porn under the American flag. rather
IMAM under the British. and he and
roosevelt are the only presidents not
wholly descended from inhabitants Of
the United Kingdom.
Sprung from Dutch families on both
sides, Van Buren, married into a Dutch
tamily, and was able 70 speak the
language of his ancestors. He was
born and he died in a title Rip Van
Wrinkle village on the east bank of
the Hudson, where his father was a
farmer and incidentally a tavern keep
er. Leaving school and entering q law
Office in his native town ar fourteen,
after the manner of most American
leaders from Jackson to Lincoln, he
picked up as he went along such ed
ucation as he gained. Yet not one
of our many lawyer presidents has
won higher rank in his profession,
While only a boy so small that he
had to stand on q bench to address
the jury, he scored his first success at
the bar. At forty, he retired from
practice with money enough for man
with a Dutch thrift, which was mis-
taken for stinginess by the less pru-
dent Anglo-Americans who knew him.
Equally precoci0us in politics. Van
Buren, was chosen a delegate to a
political convention before he was of
age; was appointed a county surrO-
gate at twenty-five; elected to the
state senate at thirty; appointed at
tOrney general of the state at thirty
two and at thirty eight he was select
| ed a senator of the United States.
Already he was at the head of the
Albany Regency" which continued
TO run the Democratic machine in
New York and to dominate the nation
al councils of that party.
Playing the game of politics only
us a New Yorker can and as all New
Workers In public life do, Van Buren,
was the first TO make his way into
the White House in gumshoes. Per
haps his caution as a politician has
lost him the credit due him for his
craftsmanship, which he displayed in
more than one grave emergency. A
popular story reflected the general
impression of his artful lodging.
Once while he was a passenger on a
Hudson river boat an anti-Nan

eral surplus among the state treasur-
les also was disturbing. The govern
ment, the banks and the people gen.
orally had all merrily Joined in SOW
ing the wind. whose harvest was the
whirlwind of 1887.
The nation had been indulging in
the first of its big western booms. The
river steamboat aided to open up new
regions, where mushroom states, in
ambitious emulation of New York and
its Erie canal, ran wild in appropria-
tons for the building of canals. Van
Buren, was the first president-elect TO
ride in a train even part of the way
to Washington. and the expansion or
the steam railway system was begin
ming to infiame the national imagi-
nation.
When the day of reckoning and re-
morse came: when bread riots broke
out; when labprers stood in line near
New York to get jobs at wage OF
81 a month and board; when banks
suspended payments in coin, and when
business houses were tumbling into
bankruptcy, the bankers and business
men, who had always been violently
anri-pemocratic. turned upon Van
Buren, and pointed their accusing fin
cers at the White House. The fore
most man of business In conservative
New England, Abbott Lawrence, did
not hesitate 10 hint TO Il public meet
ing in Boston. the incendiary sugges-
tion that the time might come for
forcihle resistance TO the government,
when the crew. as he said, would have
TO mutiny and seize the ship of state.
Van Buren, faced the gale without
bending. He rose above political
maneuvering.
The president did call congress In
extra session, but only to recommend
the adoption of the Sub-treasury sys-
tenn. The banks having failed. he pro-
posed that Uncle Sam, like a timid old
woman. should lock up his money In
the bureau drawer. And the economic
folly of the sub-treasury was persisted
in until the establishment of the fed
eraI reserve system.
II was squally weather all around,
with the costly Seminole war dragging
its slow course through the malarial
everglades of Florida; with embarrass-
Ing revolutions on both sides of US,

Texas and in Ontario.

feat In mis- candidacy for reelection
In 1910. No prophet was needed TO
write the refrain of the popular cam
paIgn song of the Wings:
Van! Van!
Is a used up man.
Nevertheless Van Buren, remained in
active politics 10 years. For still an
other 10 years he lived on In retire
ment ut Underwood, his country estate
in his native village where he died
IN the midst of the Civil war.
