Cause of the Applause.
1t Is the Art of the Actor, According
to Richard BartheImess.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Neither
DR.. Free, the psychologist. who says
that applause in theater is caused by
weather conditions. nor Joseph Santley,
the actor who says the mentality Of the
audience Is the basis of all applause, is
quite right in his deductions. While
Mr.. Santley comes nearer to being right,
at least as 1 see it, both he and DR..
Free seem to have lost sight Of the
real cause.-The actor,
is 1t not true that all applause, or
lack of it. is brought about by what
happens on the stage? This being true,
then why not give credit to the cause
rather than the effect?
And If DR.. Frees argument be cor
rect that applause is determined by
weather. then what of the poor motion
picture actor, who, once he plays his
part before the camera, can do no more ?
And yet his pictures are shown in all
climes, under all weather conditions. and
still remain successful, or otherwise, on
the strength OF the original acting.
Therefore / say again, it is the art of
the actor thar determines applause.

To Win the Radio Vote.

One of the candidates for the Re
publican nomination for the United
States Senate in Nebraska is r. B.
HOWELL, Republican national COM
mitteeman He is campaigning all
over the State and his speeches pre-
sent a radical innovation in the way
OF a means of arousing the voters.
There are two subjects which he
never touches upon in his addresses.
One is politics and the other is him
self. He neither views with alarm
nor points with pride. On the stir
ring topic of what he will do to
promote Nebraska interests il he
gets into the Senate not one word.
Yet he is getting record breaking
audiences. Grand Island has a popu-
lation of 1900, and when he spoke
there he had an audience OF 1000
There are 1,74S people in Tekamah
and 500 of them were at the Howell
meeting. And so 1t goes wherever
he speaks. What is the secret? A
very simple one. 1t is merely talk
ing on a subject in which everybody
is interested and on which the
speaker has something to say which
everybody wants to hear.
Just now that subject Is radio and
wireless service in the home and on
the farm. The crest OF the wireless
wave is sweeping the country at
present and Mr.. HOWELL is riding
on IT. AS representative of the
Post Office Department he went to
Europe last fall to study radio appli-
cations there. Now he is telling Ne
braskans what a blessing radio is to

villager; how 1t fills the isolated,

Dogs That Bay at Death.
In Them Is Seen Evidence That
Spirits Do Visit This Earth

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Spirit
mediums have no more control over
spirits than a mule has. Nevertheless,
that there are spirits on this earth /
verify believe. There may be hundreds
of millions of them.
One of the strongest evidences of
their existence is the bowling of dogs
at people just before they die. The sign
has been noticed in all nations. 1t has
booo eSAced In Ireland. 1t has been
noticed in England. Tennyson refers
to it in his poem THE May Queen" In
this line, II did not hear the dog howl,
mother. or the death watch beat"
/ have never known the sign to fail.
1t holds good as to people who are sick
and as to people who are in good health
and who have no thought of dying. Can
any one doubt that dogs, and maybe
some other animals. see spirit forms
that human beings cannot see?
do not doubt II. / do not see how
II can be explained on any other theory.
Some people have warning dreams.
Some have visions. Others do not.

The Night Patrol.

Police Headquarters has done a
good thing in increasing the night
patrol force by ninety men. There
are now nearly 400 policemen who
move about New York at night in
automobiles and on motorcycles and
who are ready to supplement the
work of the foot patrolmen in emer-
gencies. Another feature of the night
patrol is the possibility, which Head
quarters claims for it, of concentrate
ing the whole mobile force at any
roint within half an hour.
Such improvements as tllis might
well have been made months ago
when it was seen how formidable the
burglars and bandits had become. II
the Police Commissioner, instead Of
trying to talk down the crime wave,
had made proper use of the thou
sands of fine policemen at his disposal
he might have obtained better results
at time when the public needed re-
suits and not lectures.

in good faith an acceptance of the
treaty. then all will be well; there
will remain no organized opposition
to the Irish Free State.
1t is noteworthy that MICHAEL COL
LINs and ARTHUR GRIFFITH admitted,
after hearing Mr.. CHURcHHL's speech,
that the Colonial Secretary had made
perfectly fair presentation of the
situation. 1t is unlikely that
GRIFFITH, with his keen knowledge of
political technicalities, did not re-
member, when inviting De VALERA
into the Cabinet. the proviso of Arti-
Gle XVII. in regard to the acceptance
of the treaty. AS matters stand the
advantage is with the Griffith
Collins element. Welcome to the
Cabinet" they can say to DE VALERA
and his men, "but please stop at the
door and sign an assent to the
treaty with England"
After all, though, the thing that
Ireland needs most is the general
election. No matter what either side
says, the treaty will be the issue. 1t
is the topic that has occupied Irish
attention since last December. Six
months have passed and the Irish
people have not had an opportunity to
register their opinion of the docu-
ment upon which rests the fate of the
nation.

New Fashions in Texas.

Times do change, and particularly
in Texas. We read in the story from
Houston, where SEYMOUR Cox. an oil
promoter, is being tried on charge
OF using the mails to defraud, that
the defendant went to trial "attired
in tuxedo"
Thirty years ago, when dashing
JOE BAILEY first went to Congress
from Texas, neither the dinner
jacket nor the spiketail was among
the things he took to Washington.
He explained that such trappings
would never do for the representa-
tive of a State so stepped in democ-
racy, so imbued with Jeffersonian
simplicity, as Texas was. For JOE
the conventional frock, alias Prince
Albert; the white bow tie, the low
cut waistcoat, exposing acres of i'm
maculate shirt front, and the wide
brimmed hat of black felt.
And now man accused of break
ing the law has the boldness to wear
dinner jacket at his trial. This

Yet there is Britain waiting and eager

Early Derby Form Correct.

The early judgment of the British
racing public as to the horses that
ran in the Derby was correct. Cap
tain Cutie was the winter favorite,
and while he was later superseded by
st. Louis, winner Of the Two Thou
sand Guineas, and by Pondoland, he
came through to victory in the great
est of English racing classics yester-
day.
When Lord AsToR sailed for home
last week he had little hope of seeing
his colors to the fore in the Derby,
but lamar, by the American bred
Tracery, whose dam, Hamoaze, had
already given him great horse in
Buchan, was second.
Breeders of blood stock every.
where will be interested in the fact
that the blood of Cyllene is close up
in the pedigrees of the first and Sec
ond horses, Bellayista, the mother OF
Captain Cuttle, being by that horse,
while Maid of the Mist, the second
dam of Tamar, Is by Cyllene from
the renowned roam mare Sceptre.
Hurry On, sire of the winner, is by
Marcavil. He was a good slayer,
winning the st. Leger and other tests
over long course. That blood will
tell is indicated by the case of CYL
lene. He has sired four Derby win
ners-Cicero, Minoru. Lemberg and
Tagalte, and his daughters and
granddaughters appear in the pedi-
grees of winners the world over.

Transportation Statesmen.

Transportation is a commodity and
the conductors and motormen of pub
lie vehicles are statesmen thereof. This
is a proposition which the Fifth ave-
nue. stage line and the Eastern
Massachusetts Street Railway Com.
pany--the latter following the New
York corporations example-are i'm
pressing upon their employees with
encouraging results.
4 In urban and interurban surface
transportation the autobus, the
1itney and the increasing available
ity of privately owned cars have
brought home to various transporta-
tion lines the fact that they no
longer are the exclusive owners Of
the means of meeting a public need.
They are faced with competition
which is serious and expanding.
This condition has been accompanied
by a realization that the quality OF
the transportation goods delivered
Is less a matter of Indifference than
1t once may have been.
The salesman idea brings home to
the employee consciousness OF his
direct personal interest in increasing
sales and in developing good will
among purchasers. With every street
car that competition puts out of bust.
ness, jobs are cancelled. With every
advance competition makes the hold
on remaining Jobs becomes more pre-
carious. IL the market, and with 1t
the jobs, are to be held the goods
delivered must be kept abreast with
competition standards.
Transportation value depends upon
safety, regularity Of service and the
public good will. The salaries of sales.
men depend upon the maintenance
OF proper standards. and the em.
ployees are the statesmen. All this
has been discussed with street trans.
portation employees. with the result
that wholesome spirit of coopera-
tion between them and executives
has been developed in certain in
stances which promises better rela-
tions and better service.
The Eastern Massachusetts, com.
pany in particular has results to show

Conan Doyle's Spiritism.
A Review of His Teachings and HIS
Psychic Photographs.

To THE NEW YORK HEkALp' Heo'N
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle recently give
his illustrated lecture on spiritism ana
I felt much tempted at times to ask the
lecturer a few embarrassing questiohs'
He addressed a large audience oil inter
ligent men and women, who seemed 10
accept his words as gospel truth. IN
deed he declared that "spiritism con-
,ains the most consoling message that
God ever vouchsafed to man." That Is
a poor compliment for Christian''y'
which has not only taught the immor-
tality of the soul but has furnished the
means of attaining endless bliss here
after.
And now let me state briefly what
think of spiritism and its titled cham
MON. Is he sincere but deceived? Does
he tell the truth. the whole truth ana
nothing but the truth about spiritism!
Are his psychic pictures genuine?
Professional photographers in New
York and elsewhere say that some OF
his materializations are freak photog-
raphy. 1 do not pretend to decide
where experts disagree. When all pre-
cautions are taken to prevent deception
on the part of the photographer or OIL
ANYBODY else. it would be unreasonable
to doubt the genuineness OF such PIC
lures. Besides. eminent scientists, who
would not be conscious partners TO
fraud, vouch for the genuineness OF
many psychic photographs.
For instance, Schrenk-Notzing has
taken about 200 pictures of ectoplasm
and materializations and has published
them in book form with minute ac-
count of all the circumstances some
oc these astral forms were only parity
developed when they were photographed
which adds to their interest. Now we
cannot imagine sane man Keeping
n medium In his house for years In
order to get spirit pictures, when freak
photography would have served his pur-
nose had he wished to deceive.
Hence there Is no reason to doubt tina.
psychic pictures in general are as real
az they seem to be; which. of course,
Ia very unreal and ethereal as COM
pared to the living human body More
over. we are not obliged to reject these
spirit photographs in order to expose
spiritism and defend Christianity
against the supposed new revelation.
Sir Arthur has borrowed at least two
psychic pictures without giving credit
to whom credit is due. To illustrate
the nature OF ectoplasm he has taken
two OF schrenk-Notzings photographs
and he has chopped off the head Of Not
zing's medium photographicaliy.
Another slide OF Doyles was made
from a painting by Tissot. whose Pic
lures OF the life of Christ were ex-
hibited in this country some twenty
years ago. Tissot lost his bride-to-be
and went TO medium to communicate
