Borland was unable to explain to

 Ramona
 Vaudeville still continues to be the attraction at the Ramona, where dainty Amperito Guillot, the clever singer and dancer, is holding forth with a complete change of songs and dances every night She is the best entertainer that the Ramona has booked this winter. and she is pleas ing splendid crowds nightly. With the vaudeville feature is seen the pie ture, Waffle Reed in "The Dub," a pictur ethat alone is worth the one price asked at the comfortable Ra- mona.
 The Ramona has this bill on for the week and then gives way to Tom Mix Sunday in "The Terror" coupled with a smart western two-reeler fea- turing Hoot Gibson, Here is some dish for the lover of the strenuous.
 Dorothy Dixon, the sensational New York dancer, opened last night at the Strand in George FitZmorris sparkling satire, Paying the Piper. It is the story of a girl who is the victim of the divorce laws of the country. Her father. who is a des picabe old roue. has her for six months of each year and her mother, a prominent society club woman" !" who holds the indoor record for soak ing up cocktails and smoking mono gramed cigarettes, gets her for the other six months. The environment is bad to start with, and in this state the girl makes rotten marriage. She picks up one of the society catches of the year who is about as useful as a German war record. He has of course lot of past perform ance that is not open to public in spection, and when the girl who was his playmate finds out the marriage has been pulled off she gets very much "het up, and then things break loose and the world gets all gummed up for the actors in this play drama of society life.
 Dorothy Dixon, who takes the leading part, is a Chicago girl who broke into the professional dancing ranks with a rush that took New York off it's blase feet last winter She had youth, beauty and the most comedy underpinning that vale O. fast men and faster women had seen and in onsequence she became over night a red hot fayorite.

HANDSOMEST MAN IN
 PHOENIX; WHO |S HE?

Somehow it has happened that there has sprung up great rivalry. lead ing almost to a dispute amongst the gentler sex, and also with some of the local Beau .Brumme1ls, as to who is the handsomest man in Phoenix Many letters have been directed to Miss Wilma Steck of the Lawrence stoc kcompany playing at the Elks, that she select who is the handsomest man. And many requests have been made at the box office that Miss Steck be prevailed upon to settle this all important question. Arrangements have therefore been made by the man agement of the Elks theater that the decision may be made during the per- formance of Civilian Clothes at that popular playhouse, next Monday night April 18th. Between the acts Miss Steck will pass among the audience and choose "the handsomest man"
 As an inducement for the hand somest man to be at the Elks on Mon day next the Lawrence company are producing that wonderfully successful drama, Civilian Clothes.' and as a further inducement the management will present 'sthe handsomest man" with ten dollars in gold coin. Of course all the ladies will be there to see that Miss Steck gives fair play and woe unto the little lady should she make any mistake in her selec- ton. Many candidates have already entered the race and a voting contest through the columns of The Republi- can is being waged by the patrons oi the family theater as to their choice for the handsomest man.
 The result of the voting contest with n4mes of candidates will be pub- lished Monday. Watch the date. Ths votes however. will have nothing whatever to do with the final decision as all parties concerned have agreed to leave the selection of the success full candidate entirely to Miss Steck

"A Matter of Regret

The Living Age is devoting sew
eral of its issues in part to serial
article from European source on
the religious development of H. G.
Wells. Why The Living Age should
consider the religious development
of Mr.. Wells of any Importance to
anybody is not revealed. Is it pos
sible that the fact that any writer
on fiction or science has any reli-
gious development at all is necessa-
rily a noteworthy phenomenon?
In reality, however, this NAV be
only the prelude to other discover
les Of similar nature. If Mr.. Wells
has a religious development maybe
Mr.. Shaw will eventually be discov-

tainly, are untold possibilities And
Mr.. Wells is undoubtedly q good
working model.
Like irwin Cobb's goldfish, all Of
his machinery is on view; you can
see his fins working. and the ever
changing hues Of his colorings leave
very little to be desired in the way
OF a spectacle. Mr.. Wells, with the
utmost literary courtesy, has dis
closed to us all the processes of 70 .
ligious assimilation and revealed his
modest intimacies with the Deity in
such an engaging manner that it
would seem as If he needed no as
sistance from any other quarter to
reinforce our working knowledge
Of him.
He has done this, without doubt,
in the true spirit of service to l1u-
manity. But a little later, when
he himself is obliged, in order to
keep up with the times, to read all
about the religious development Of
many others of his literary COM
petitors, maybe he will begin to re-
greet that he set the example.

Enough of Ku-Kluxisrn

The Ku-Klux Khan Of RECONSTRUCT
tion days was nourished by the pre-
vailing sentiment in the South, but
the grotesque revival Of the "Invis-
IDLE Empire" seems already to have
worn out its welcome. Imperial Wiz
ard Simmons has found itsexpedient
to take away the charter Of the Beau
mont, Tex, clansmen, who have been
maintaining white supremacy with
whips, acid and tar and feathers,
selecting their victims without re-
gard to color or sex. Texas will not
endure such rufianism, whether or
not it is CLOSED with white robes and
torches and miscellaneous mummerv.
The Ku-Klux leaders were prose-
lyting in the North few weeks
ago. Was there not a parade or a
splurge of some sort in this city?
Perhaps nobody remembers. Few
persons in these parts have the incli-
nation to daily with an exotic society
whose speciality is bigotry, both ra-
cial and religious. The Beaumont cpl
sode seems to indicate that the South
has as little use for such an organi-
cation. There is enough honest work
to be done down there without giving
I'D time and energy to rnischievo,,s
tonfoolery.

Aliens at Heart
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l have been waiting for some
one to put the obvious question to
"Patrioticus," your correspondent of
the 22d, who writes on "Aliens at
Heart" I can understand in a meas
ure his inability to give up his al
legiance to his native land, but, I'M
like him, could not expatriate myself.
The obvious question to my mind is,
What is he doing for the land to which
he is so devoted? All his material in
terests seem to be here. He is not
helping to upbuild his own country in
these hard times, when spiritual al
legiance is not enough. He seems to
be citizen of no country and, as a
guest he casts reflections upon our
hospitality by saying that ne "pays
for all he gets" Does he?
May I take this opportunity to
thank you for publishing, some time
ago, Aldrich's "Unguarded Gates"a It
was timely when he wrote it, but never
so timely as now.

, understood, has been built and paid
for solely by the State of New York
without assistance from the Federal
government or other sources, and the
use of the canal has been thrown open
to the traffic Of any state, the Federal
government or the world without tolls
Or charges of any kind, and the state
annually appropriates funds for it's
upkeep and operation.
The nearest approach to this ex-
ample o. state liberality was in the
inception and construction of the
original Erie Canal, which played so
important part in the commercial
development of the City of New York
and the chain of prosperous Industrial
cities along its route and which was
such an important factor for many
years in the regulation of railway
rates over lines even distantly
paralleling the Erie Canal.
If the Federal government, under a
belated appreciation of the national
or naval Importance to the country of
this water route, should desire to in
crease its draft or it's headroom under
bridges, or both, for the purpose of
giving access to the Great Lakes of
larger vessels, it is probable that the
State Of New York would gladly well
come the proposed Improvement, to
the extent doubtless of even turning
over the control and administration of
the canal to the Federal government.
