to the supremacy of law over force in
the adjustment of Industrial contro-
versies."
TXIISCONSIN Socialists came to the
w front rather startlingly last week.
In the lower house of the state assem-
bly, they, In combination with the ad
ministration forces. put through bill
to abolish the Wisconsin National
Guard. The measure was passed by
acclamation, the opposition being negli-
gible In numbers. 1t was taken for
granted that the bill would be killed
by the senate or vetoed by Governor
Blaine, but this did not materially
lessen the frantic joy of the Socialists,
who felt they had put over something
on the so-called progressives and justi-
fed their claim that the Wisconsin as
sembly Is the most radical Of all the
state legislatures. The radicals are
threatening to pass 80 many bills that
would hamper capital that the Wiscon.
sin Manufacturers association laid be-
fore the legislature list Of 65 manu-.
featuring establishments which have
planned large extensions and additions,
but which will not go forward with the
work If pending bills go through.
George Kull, secretary Of the associa-
ton. read formal statement that pas
sage Of radical measures, including tax
bills now before the legislature, would
place an "unfair, discriminatory and
unbearable burden upon industry"
THE New York house Of representa-
1 tives, by a vote of 7s to "a. adopted
a resolution asking congress to liberal
! ize the Volstead law. and next day the
senate approved 1t. Under an amend
ment adopted the resolution must be
signed by Governor Smith to be effec-
tive. The Democrats rather resented
this way of making the governor
clerk for the transmission OF the me-
morial." but 1t was said Mr.. Smith
would comply with the requirement.
THEOPHILE DELCASSE. one Of
L the most eminent French statesmen
Of this generation, died last week in
Nice. He became minister Of foreign
affairs In 1898 and held the post eleven
years in five successive cabinets.
Among his great achievements was the
creation Of the entente cordiale be-
tween France and Great Britain. Ap-
parently foreseelng the World war, he
succeeded In forcing Italy and the cen
tral empires apart and In conciliating
the opposing interests Of Russia and
England, thus preparing the ground
for the quadruple entente.
Another notable figure passed away
last week In the death of Mrs. John A.
Logan, widow of the famous cavalry
general of the Civil war. in her home
In Washington. She succumbed to In
fluenza. Mrs. Logan, who was eighty
six years old. never lost her active in
terest in public affairs.
XI7ASHINGToN'S BIRTHDAY was

in Chicago and New York. Of several

MUSIC lovers of Washington

ably surprised at the announce
ment that Eleanor Painter, ac-
counted one Of the most popular
favorite Of the light opera stage,
is to appear ct Polls Theater

Sidney Toler's new romantic
comedy. '"The Exile" in which
production Miss Painter appears
80 co-atar with Jose Ruben, a
young actor Of achievement and
note.
Miss Painters transition from
the musical to the dramatic
stage is actually the fuIfillment
OF q long-felt desire on her part
to assay role of consequence
dramatically, and in the char
acter OF Berenice Millet, the
heroine Of Mr.. Toler's picturesque
romantic comedy, she has, It is
said, found splendid opportunity
for the display OF her purely his
trionic talent.
Her fine vocal accomplishments
are, however. not entirely hidden,
since she is called upon to sing
an aria, with violin, cello and
harp accompaniment. and at an
intensely thrilling point in the
dramatic narrative she sings that
most stirring OF all musical com.
positions. THE Marseillaise."
