Palace Review

By popular demand ''MansSaughter, the moving picture starring Thomas Meighan. Lois Wilson and Leatrfce Joy, continues at the Palace for the rest of the week. It is a picture worth seeing, too-the mere fact that Cecil B. DeMille directed it being a guarantee of it's artistic worth. This picture has enjoyed d great vogue on Broadway and is still doing so. at prices a great deal higher than those asked at the Palace. As a prologue to this masterpiece of the motion pie ture, Miss Bridgeport and number of local young women are seen In dancing number arranged and d1- rected by Paul Oscard. In addition here are musical numbers by Lucille Col1ette Carl Rollins, baritone. and the Palace Orchestra, and the usual comedy and scenic pictures and news reel
 Another first-run picture, "The Old Homestead" comes to the Palace Sunday, with Theodore Roberts ana a notable cast. None of the charm which made f'The Old Hom estead'' famous as a play is absent from the picture, which is said to be even bet ter than the play. For the best rep resentations of old homestead char aCters, season tickets of admission to the Palace Theatre will be awarded to theb est male and female charac- ters shown at the Bridgeport Armory tomorrow night. Character parts may now be seen in the Vanity Shop win dow at The Stratfield.

Washington Aroused Slowly

1t has taken Washington some
time to be aroused to interest in This
question, ANY other city would have
long ago uppt SEQ the idea of having
it's affairs administered for it by a
BODY, no single member of which was
directly concerned in its welfare. But
Washington has a large proportion
of transient residents. The Govern
ment clerk, diplomat. politician, and
Army and Navy officers ten to re-
gard life il Washington as a camp
ing out experience. In the past rev
years, however, business men ana
citizens associations have succeed
ed in interesting this casual popu-
lation in the Capitals Worries.
a few wealthy men who are inter-
ested in BANKS, real estate. n utili-
ties and VINO are powerful under
the present system are said to be the
mairstay IT the opposition.
The neeG for a change in the gov
eminent OF the Capital is a COM
mon topic about the city. When the
District appropriation bill comes up,
Congress is told how many schools
are needed. Crowded conditions are
pointed out. Congressman are taken
to see schCo! rooms with every desk
taken AMI children sitting in chairs
too high for them CT at the teachers
desk. Perhaps the committee is
sympathetic, and pares down the re-
quested appropriation only a little.
But somewhere between the COM
mittee ard the Presidents signature
the funds for adequate school &C
Communications are slashed so that
conditions remain much as they are
Congressiona, Interest Lays
= Washington shrugs its shoulders
and rernarks that it wouldn't happen
anywhere else. But, of course, con-
gress, aside from a few members,
possibly, isn't vitality interested In
the District, and it is easy to econo-
mize there.
This goes on in every phase OF
Washington's government. The hre
chief is now lamenting that he needs
a searchIight truck-should have
had one long ago A powerful light
thrown OH the Knickerbocker The
atre while rescue work was feverish-
ly gcine on IN the dark would have
been an Invaluable aid. 1t might
have saved lives. But even now,
the search.ight truck has been cut
from .he appropriation bill as mol
urgently necessary
Workers for local suffrage here
see signs pointing to a change IN
the city's government They hrmly
believe that before this congress ENDS
some sort of suffrage will be grant
ed the people of the National Capt.
! tai, and that they will be given some
measure OF the political liberty en-
joyed by citizens OF the States.
II Is a s.ranga fact that Washing
| ton should bss the only capital in the
| world without a representative gov
ernment of some sort. 1t is ever
strange, perhaps, that this ~ity'
! which has a larger population than
| seven OF the states. should be the
only community under the United
States flag that Is completely dis
frarchised.

posToFFIcE AND HOLIDAYS

1t is time the business interests OF Perth Amboy got
behing Postmaster White in an effort to better postal facili-
ties here. We have particular reference to the closing of
the post office.
Take a case like Monday, which was observed as Lin
coins birthday. Except for the schools, the city hall, the
banks and the post Office, business was going on throughout
the city about as usual. The inability to get into the post
Office, however, was a decided handicap.
In a city where there is a free postal delivery there is
no necessity for a person or firm renting a box at the post
Office unless there is a desire to get ones mail at any hour.
il is rather disconcertng, therefore, to go to The post office on
n day like Monday and find the entrance to the building bar
red by great iron doors.
The least that is to be expected in a city of this size is
that the corridor be open so that one may get to his box even
III the windows where the business of the post office is done
are closed. Not only should it be possible to get to ones box
on holidays, but such access ought to be possible during the
evening. Mail trains are running as usual on holidays and
mail is sent out and received the same as on other days.
Why, then, should business men, many of whom do not OBJ
serve all the holidays, be deprived of these postal facilities?
No fault is to be found with the omission of the de-
.liveries on holidays, especially in the residential sections, but
the least that is to be expected is that people may have access
Sostheir boxes in the post Office corridor.
