every line seems sparkling wit.
1t isn't what is said in a Conan
comedy so much as how it is said.
And no impresario of the stage
knows quite so well as Conan how

1t Is Simple
Story That He Tells
The story Of 1.-TWO Fellows and a
Girl' is very simple The girl de-
cides between the two fellows by
tossing coin. A space of five years
and the unsuccessful sutton returns.
The girl, though married, still feels
a claim on the one she rejected. The
difficult thing for each of the three
is to stifle a natural jealousy and
envy and the situation nearly
amounts to an unhappy climax when
flapper steps in and captures the
rejected sutton.
That's the play. Conventional in
situation and in line Ruth Shepley
and the two fellows, John Halliday
and Allan Dinehart, are called upon
to behave rather unnaturally in
several situations.
Considering these factors the play
is dull. but the Gohan technique of

OURPASSING all other domestic
news Of the week, in interest if
not In Importance, was the decisive
victory Of Magnus Johnson, Farmer
Labor candidate for United States SEN
atOr from Minnesota, over Governor
Preus. nominee of the Republicans.
The vote for Carley was negligible for
most of the Democrats, d~isregarding
the advice of their leaders, cast their
ballots for Johnson. Minnesota now
has two Farmer-Labor senators, both
of whom may be counted on to support
Senator LaFOllette, and the WiscOn-
sin mans little bloc thus Is so strength
ened that it can, in many cases, control
the balance of power in the upper
house. Johnson, who is a "self-made
man." frankly says that on many Is
sues he makes up his mind to accord
with that of LaFOllette. He declares,
however, that already he is opposed
to the world court, the League Of Ma
tons and foreign entanglements and
In favor of a soldier bonus to be paid
for out of excess profits taxes.
Republican chieftains, from the Pres
ident down, were rather dismayed by
the result in Minnesota. OF course
Mr.. Harding had nothing to say of it.
Chairman Adams Of the national com
mite said:
I'm a general way, the result was a
protest against conditions temporarily
affecting the farming interests adverse
ly. Conditions in Minnesota and else
where in agricultural sections of the
country are bound to improve, and
with their improvement public opinion
In those sections will right itself"
Chairman Hull Of the Democratic
national committee, interpreted the re
suit as "the most significant and hu
initiating defeat and reputation tn,
Harding administration has suffereS
since the nationwide reputation IL
1922"
"The election was the first reaction
to President Hardings ~transconti
mental political tour with its boast o
prosperity, its characteristic evasion
and reversals and facing both ways,

ROLLER RAILROAD CARS.

American inventors and manufact-
urers have devised a roller bearing
for railroad cars, similar to the roller
bearings used in automobiles. Use
of these bearings is expected to save
so per cent of locomotive fuel and IS
per cent of lubricants. In one test a
flat a with a Cotton load Was pushed
on a level track by one With
changes like that in progress, and
with continued increase in use of
water power for %geenration of electric
power, there is no need to worry over
the future supply Of coal or other
fuel. American genius will supply
every need.

ID EVERTING to Senator Br0okhart,
N the Iowan believes he learned a
lot while abroad. He says he talked
to 'the living leaders of the common
people in nearly all the countries Of
Europe" and his conclusion is that
economic cooperation upon the simple
principles Of the weavers Of ROchdale,
Is the only constructive idea that has
survived the war. 1t is the only plan
that will end the criminal trusts and
combinations in America and give to
the producers and consumers the just
rewards of their labors. 1t will take
immediate action of congress along the
line Of the Norris bill to enable the
farmers to get the cost of production
out of their present crop. The Presi-
dent should call an extra session i'm
mediately.
Another Of his assertions is that the
Russian soviet government is second
in stability only to that of the United
States, and that Russia will soon be
making inrOads on the grain markets
Of America. He ignores the fact that
Russian stability is based wholly on
armed force exerted by a small group
Of men who admit they are leaders Of
a minority Of the people.

con- siOn, and it Is rumored that the
URi&d States has consented to par
ticipats In the capacity Of a friendly
adviser. Public opinion In Belgium Is
turning to support Of the British view
in the controversy, and in two OF the
most influential newspapers is pub
lished this paragraph:
"Any policy inspired systematically
from DUAL d'Orsay would be IN the
year 1923 as much an alteration on
Dur part as during the French revolu-
ton, for we cannot forget that Eng
land Is the only power whose inter-
ests Oblige her to consider the neces-
sity for our freedom and indepen-
dence."

D ESULTS Of Johnson's victory may
N be more important than its causes.
LaFOllette, Senator Brookhart of Iowa
and others gloatingly predicted that it
al the defeat of Mr.. Harding for
denomination next year, and it was
said some Of the party leaders might
renew their efforts to induce him to
decline a second term-efforts that
they exerted first after the Republican
reverses in the election of 1922. Brook
hart, who had just returned from Eu-
rope, launched in New York a boom
for the nomination of Judge Kenyon,
former senator from Iowa, and LaFol-
iette also spoke of him as a possibility
though it is generally believed the
Wisconsin senator will again have his
own name presented to the Republican
convention. Kenyon cannot well be
classed with either the radicals or the
extreme conservatives, but he may be
found not distasteful to either wing
Of the party.

TSMET PASHA was authorized by
l. the AngOra government to sign the

and the act Of signing was set for July
"a. The treaty represents a triumph
for Turkey and for the United States
the latter because on the demand OF
Minister Grew valuation Of prewar
concessions is omitted and the open
door policy prevails. The Turks gain
practically everything for which they
contended, and even their concessions
were modified so that the treaty
would not be rejected at Angora. For
instance, they objected to a provision
that each allied nation should keep

DOR the first time during the pro-

mission, a demand has been made that
the German government produce its
official records showing the activities
Of it's spies in the United States during

Elevator company was burned In Feb
ruary, 1917, and the company claims
$1,000,OOO damages. 1t is contended
that the destruction Of this and other

Or, failing in that, to destroy the
available wheat supply In America.

GREAT BRTTAIN'S draft of the re-
~ ply to tie German PREPARATIONS
note has been submitted to the allies
and the United States, but its terms
have not, at this writing, been given
to the public. They were kept secret
to give the various governments time
for their consideration. Marquis Cur
zon had a hard job In framing the re-
ply, and it is not at all likely that 1t
will be acceptable to the others Just
as it stands, but there is an increasing
belief that France will make conces-
sions that will result in final accord
in the note as sent to Berlin and thus
avert a rupture Of the entente. This
despite the defiant speech made by
Premier Poincare at Senlis at exercises
in memory Of those killed during the
German occupation after the Franco
Prussian war. In effect he warned
England that he preferred ~abrogation
of the entente to further sacrifice of
Frances claims. However, P~oincare
and Baldwin may find common ground
If the British tell the Germans that
passive resistance in the Ruhr must
cease, and in Germany it is said now
that such an admonition from London
Is all that is necessary to put an end
to that resistance.
