DALI TO CONSIDER

Government to Foster Meas

~ the Associated Press.
A-DUBLIN, August 12-With the re-
assembly today of the Dali Eireann,
the Free State government is expect
ed to introduce a bill dealing with
the Irish boundary commission. SINH
lar to the legislation being sponsored
in the House of Commons by the Brit
ish government. The bill makes no
attempt to fetter the commission by
limiting it's authority in the matter
of boundary changes.
Debate on the measure is expected
to be prolonged and Is certain to de-
velop considerable opposition from
the Laborites. led by Tom johnson.
and the new Republican group headed
by Joseph McGrath. former minister
of commerce. These groups, how
ever. together form a minority of the
the support of virtually all the inde-
its own party.
One line to be taken by the opposi-
tion will be that as the article of the
Anglo-Irish treaty dealing with the
boundary between Northern and
Southern Ireland has not been fulfill
ed, the remainder of the treaty is
void and the Free State accordingly
is free to make over it's constitution
without the restrictions to which the
treaty bound it, including the oath of
loyalty to Great Britain. The gov
ernment holds that there has been no
such breach of the treaty as to JUS
tify this course. If the bill is passed,
its second reading, like that of the
British bill, will not be moved until
the end of September.

Poll Eel Captain.

AS time and their militant excel
lence have made the marches of John
Philip Sousa stand out as classics of
a march king, so "El Captain" the
famous comic opera of the great
composer, which breathes the spirit
of one of his thrilling marches, must
live and fill its hearers with enthusi-
asm, even as the delightful comedy
Of Charles Klein, who wrote the book
and gave to the story that exquisite
vein of humor that won him fame,
will always make an audience laugh.
And it is quite fitting to couple with
these two noted characters in the
history of a nations entertainment a
third, De Wolf Hopper, who was the
original FL Captain and the Don Err
rico Medigua, Viceroy of Peru, when
the opera was first produced in Bos-
ton more than 80 years ago.
Charles Klein, the librettist and
playwright went down with the ILL
fated Lusitania. John Philip Sousa,
the composer and march king, was
detained elsewhere in far-away city.
But De Wolf Hopper, in all his glory,
surrounded with his fine company,
and with a beautiful and appropriate
setting. was much in evidence in the
revival of "El Captain" at Polls
Theater last night. 1t was a great
performance. and the audience that
thoroughly enjoyed it from the opening
scene until the last curtain and then
wanted to remain bit longer anyway
gave evidence of the fact. Even
Manager Leo Leavitt of Polls added
touch Of Sousa glory in his sug-
gestion that gave to the finale of
the second act a rousing climax by
the introduction of stars and Stripes
Forever" with flag decorations, for
a curtain dropper. 1t was immense.
.E1l Captain" is going to be one of
the big drawing cards of the De Wolf
Hopper operate series, for added to
its own inherent excellence is the fact
that Washington always did and al
ways will love John Philip Sousa,
whose score attains the standard of
grand opera, while still retaining the
snap and vim of latter day life and
pep. 1t is a fine evenings entertain
ment.
And all the favorites of the fine
company that has held Washingtons
attention and patronage throughout
the long summer season are in it,
each appropriately assigned and each
acquitting himself and herself as they
might be expected to. Sol Soloman

Belasco-" The Cat and the
Canary.

Having explored the fields Of COM
edy, romance and emotionalism, the
stock players at the Belasco Theater
last night turned to mystery, as rep
resented by John Willard's THE Cat
and the Canary" and presented an
audience of considerable size with
2H hours Of thrills and shivers,
laughter and gasps.
For those who had not previously
seen "The Cat and the Canary" the
play itself held tenseness. For those
who had seen it, the work of Miss
Elizabeth Patterson, Donald Gallaher
and Leona Beutelle comprised the
drawing points of interest.
The players accredited themselves
we'll in the first and second acts OF
the play, but in the third act-the
keystone-where the mystery is
finally solved, and where necessity
for clearness in the solution is a pre-
requisite to complete success, the
words, gestures and explanatory de-

Keith Frances White.

Personality stands out in the work
Of Frances White, the pretty little
doll who heads this weeks bill at
Keith's. There Is nothing remark
able in her singing or dancing, but
Frances carries q kick in twisting
her words, or puckering up her
mouth, mannerisms that are her stock
in trade and which have made her a
great success. Although young in
years, she is a veteran Of the stage
and performs with confidence, never
lacking for words that will bring

true Of Cameron Steele and Harold

of results so far as farm legislation
Is concerned. Only few minor
bills have bene passed, none OF
which deem of sufficient import
ance to be noticed In this article.
The most important bill introduced
In the 68th congress for farm relief
is known as the McNary-Haugen bill
which was defeated in the house by
a vote of some Republicans, some
Democrats and most all the radicals.
The reasons assigned by most MEM
bers of the house for opposing this
bill was that 1t would raise the cost
of living. 1t is probably well to
note that out of the eleven repre-
sentatives from the state of Wiscon-
sin where Mr.. LaFollettes political
ideas are supreme, that nine out OF
the eleven members of the house
voted against this bill. In fact Ed
ward Voigt, a member from W1scon-
sin of the agricultural committee OF
the house, brought out a minority
report against this bill and lead the
fight against 1t on the floor OF the
house and was successful In killing
1t in the house. 1t Is to be further
noted that Representatives Henry
A. Cooper, John M. Nelson and the
said Edward Voigt, three of Senator
principal supporters in
the present campaign, all voted
against the bill. Now these same
tell you that the
tDadgasted Republicans have done
nothing for the farmers.

is a very important law.

10 very important law.
Twelfth. An exceptional record
was made In regard to the control OF
the grain exchanges. Congress pass
ed an act designed to regulate future
sales and control of the great grain
exchanges which President Harding
approved on August 21, 1921. This
law was Immediately tested by the
gamblers in grain futures and by
the supreme court of the United
States held to be unconstitutional.
Thereupon Mr.. Haugen and other
Republican leaders, including Sen
ators McNary of Oregon, Gooding of
Idaho, and Capper of Kansas, i'm
mediately took up the matter of
passing q bill modified to meet the
objections of the supreme court. 1t
was vigorously piloted through con-
gress and was signed by President
Harding September 81, 1922, just
thirteen months after he had affixed
his signature to the first bill.
1t will thus be seen that this i'm
portant measure was twice enacted
by congress before President Hard
ings administration was nineteen
months old. 1t was Immediately
since been held constitutional by the
supreme court of the United States.
AS above stated, in the 68th, or
present congress, the radicals claim
to control twelve votes in the senate
and thirty-two in the house, and re-
suits seem to indicate that this claim
Is substantially true. In any event

Dickinson Points Out
How Republican Party
Has Aided Agriculture

Since the present campaign start
ed l have been asked many times by
many of my Progressive friends,
and some Republicans who show
some signs of short memory, what
the Republican party has done for
the agricultural class, and par
/ ticularly the farmers of Idaho, since
| its induction into power March 4
1921. In almost every instance it
takes up too much time to under
take to explain to the particular in
dividual just what was done by the
9th Congress, which came into be-
ing on that date.
In the 9th Congress the Repub-
licans had working majorities in
both houses, and l unhesitatingly
say, enacted more farm legislation
than any previous congress in the
history of the nation, and much
more than the sum total of such
legislation during the entire admin
istration of President Wilson, and it
should be noticed that this splendid
record was almost entirely made by
the end of the long session of that
congress.
The great commoner and Demo-
cratic leader, Mr.. Bryan, in one of
his speeches made the statement
that the 9th congress had done
more for the farmers of the United
States than any congress in the past
fifty years.
The 6Sth, or present congress, in
which the balance of power rests
with the radical group, has not, up
to this time, passed single bill of
any particular Importance with
respect to agriculture. l do not be-
lieve that, judging by the actions of
this radical element during the long
