A NEW POLITICAL FACTOR

A new factor has arisen in American
politics and while it is far too early to
form an idea whether its influence will
be for better or for worse, there is not
the slightest doubt tina. it must be reck-
oned with. That influence is the radio.
The fact that broadcasting, or in 9TH
CT words advertising through the radio
will play 4 strong part in the coming
national campaign was demonstrated al
the recent Republican state convention
in New York. II will be remembered
that ar that convention, Secretary OF
State Hughes was the temporary chair
mar and that his speech was broad.
casted throughout the nation by radio
The significant feature of this is thai
the temporary chairman was chosen, not
as the result of vote by the delegate:
in the convention, but as the result o
a negotiation with broadcasting outfit
1t was necessary that the speech
should be delivered at a certain time
if the broadcasting was to be efficient
To have it at this time it was necessary
to subordinate all other features of tn,
convention to the necessity of permit
ting Mr.. Hughes to speak at particu
lar moment. The law of New Yorl
provides that the temporary chairman
shall be chosen by a vote of the dele
gates, registered resultant to roll call
1t was therefore necessary to have 1;
roll cali, but it was a joke 1t wa
jammed through in the shortest possible
time, because it had to- be finished il
order to allow the temporary Chairman
TO commence his speech at certain
moment.
i Naturally, this will not be always pos
siblc. for there will be conventions wher

LAUGHING AT ONESELF

Bernard Shaw. "My method of cduca-

to laugh at themselves"
Laughter is always extolled. Laugh

adage, and the man who laughs is well
come company to all around. He is
leasy. He is genial. He sees the world
as pleasant place in which to live He

That personal dignity IS a precious
thing. The world may be funny, but

and not to be approached with levity.
In other words he takes himself. and
all his works seriously, and in doing so
acquires a certain ponderable strength.
Many with whom he has to deal. at

take him at his own valuation of good,

An initial difficulty arises here in Mr.

But their viewpoint presupposes an en-

Sometime in March the mayor of
Atlantic City issues his official annual
edict as to what may or may not be
worn on the famous Jersey sands
which lie within his bailiwick. He
wishes to give every one fair warning
in plenty of time. Hitherto the chief
point of interest in these proclafna-
tions has been the forbidding Of bare
legs for ladies. There are always other
points, but they are of minor signifl-
cameo.
While the rest of the United States
and the rest of the world broke away
from mid-Victorian prudery and rec
ognized the right of either sex to swim
in safe and sensible and comfortable
bathing suits Atlantic City remained
firm in its conviction that female
bathers with undisguiscd knee-joints
were pcrilously immodest. No stock
ings. no bath. was the invariable
rule: and it was rigidly enforced by
beach COPS who could spot bare knee
n mile out at sea, and who lay in wait
for its guilty owner to come in from
her swim.
NOW tnfS last StTOIshoiu huc luiiSh,
The mayor of Atlantic City has issued
his March code of beach ethics, and in
it he specifically states that bathcrs
may dispense with stockings il they
so elect The rest of the regulations
conserve modesty to degree which
should satisfy the most fastidious.
Suits for men and women must reach
to within four inches of the knee. and
there must be skirts. 1t is also stipul-
ated that when they are not actually
in the sea or on the sand both male
and female bathers must wear robes
extending to the ankles. In other
words an absolute equality Of the
sexes is tardjly established. Neither
Venus nor Apollo is permitted to make
really generous display. but both
may be reasonably and sufficiently
comfortable. Such happy medium
between Hollywood and intolerance
should satisfy every one. including
honest-to- goodness swimmers. beach
flappers. male poscurs, moralists, old
fogys and politicians.-Plain Dealer

ELEANORA DUSE

In FittSDurS, pennsylvania, lew
days ago, there died one of the greatest
dramatic artists of all agcs-Eleanora
Duse. In power of dramatic rendition
and in artistic ability it is doubtful if
she ever had a superior. 1t was her
great handicap to suffer. through many
years, condition of delicate health that
prevented her from appearing as often
as she might otherwise have done and
which compelled her to hold to re-
tired life, when off the stage, that pre-
vented the public from owing~anyt1ing
OF her in personal sense. These things
were a great misfortune, for she was
a sweet and gracious woman as well as
one OF the great actresses Of dramatic
history.
Madame Duse was an Italian by birth
and her first important engagement was
on some stage iii the CITY of Florence,
where Adelaide Ristori and Tomaso Sal
vini first gave promise of the great abi!-
ity that was in them. It was not long
before she became popular favorite
throughout Italy and IN 1892 she won
a most splendid triumph, in Vienna. Ten
years later she made her first appear
ance in America and from that time. her
few visits to this country were eagerly
awaited and she never failed to score
a decisive triumph in every engagement
she played.
She was as perfect an antithesis of
her great French contemporary, Sara
Bernhardt as could we'll be imagined.
Bernhardt was theatrical in every
thought and action outside of her mag
nificent artistic power. She was an ad-
vertiser who loved the applause of the
public, the bright spots of life, warmth,
light. color and all the more material as
poets of life. These things were a
part of her and part OF her artistic
life She was of passionate nature that
sought and Sound constant expression.
Duse, on the other hand was as quiet
as Bernhardt was exuberant. She was
subtle and quietly intense in all she
did. On the stage she never used a
particle of "make-up"-perhaps the only
great actress who ever lived. to deny
herself that aid in impersonation. She

wonderful voice to bring her through
her most exacting roles and they never
failed her.
Off the stage, Madame Duse was re-
firing to degree that made of her
something of mystery. This was part
ly due to her disposition, but chiefly
was caused by lack of physical strength
that made it necessary for her to take
most elaborate care of her health il
she was to continue her work. 1t was
because of her constant watchfulness
in this regard that she was able to live
as long as she did. She died at the
age of sixty-four.
She was not as we'll known as some
others of her profession who were more
often and more prominently in the pub
lie eye, but she was one of the great
dramatic artists-man or wouan-of all
time. Her death is a great loss to the
world

THE ROvER'S ADIEU.
From "Rokeby'

"a weary lot is thine, fair maid,
A weary lot is thine,
To pull the thorn thy brow to braid.
And press the rue for wine.
A lightsome eye. a soldiers mien,
A feather of the blue,
A doublet of the Lincoln green
No more of me ye knew,
Ny Love!
No more of me We knew.
This morn is merry June, trow,
The rose is budding fain;
But she shall bloom in winter snow
Ere we two meet again"
He turned his charger as he spake
Upon the river shore.
He gave the bridle-reins shake,
Said "Adieu for eyermore.
Ny Love!
And adieu for evernore."
