AN ADDITION TO G.. o. L.
SENATE FORCES

The contemplated appointment of
former Senator Beverage Of Indiana
to the vacancy in the Senate caused
by the death of Senator Ralston will
give the administration an addition
of two Republican votes in the Sem
atc--one Democrat less and one
more Republican. AS the admins
tration's majority in the upper
house Is more fancied than real in
some respects, due to tho unreliable
character of some of the Republi-
can senator's on questions upon
which Republicans from various
sections differ, the gain in the Sen
ate will amount to more than 1t
would appear in less circumscribcd
circumstances. Especially is the
case in view Of the prospect that the
present minority in the Senate has
high hopes OF controlling that body
in the manner Of the last session of
Congress.
The next session will he what is
known in political parlance as the
long session." It will lead up to
the political campaign of 1926. That
it will be marked by a struggle for
political advantage by parties and
individuals Is certain. The session
will last at least six months, and
from it members Of Congress will go
directly into the Congressional cam
paign. Nothing hrt politics will be
In the saddle.
And In the ensuing campaign all
the Republican senators who got
elected during the Harding landslide
Of 1920 will have to be reelected OF
enter private life. Twenty-Five Re
publicans and only seven Demo
cratic Senators will thus be forced
to face the crucible of the polls
The Democrats are from the south
whore there isn't a chance OF elect
ing n Republican,; some of the Re
publicans are from such doubtful
states as kentucky, Oklahoma, Mis-
rouri. Nevada and Maryland. The
! G. O. 7. is going to drop some sen.
ators in that campaign; one canno
expect too much in a non-presidcn
tial year.

The Eject OF Soft Soap

BY Frederick C. Boothe
I've never cared for Peter Pike;
His Roman nose | do not like;
hate the way he rides his bike
And how he wears his collar;
His stinginess gives me q pain:
When he goes out TO entertain
He says fellow Is insane
To spend more than dollar.
I would not pick the ties he wears;
He sounds too sissy when he
swears:
I've always thought he puts on
airs,
Which made me mad as blazes;
And yet a friend told me last night
That Peter thinks / am all right;
That he admires the things I write
And loudly sings my praises.
Who would have thought he had
such taste?
Perhaps I judged in too much
haste,
And my aversion was misplaced;
To him I should be sweeter.
And so when / met him today
! viewed him In a newer way;
And yet, despite his praise, | say
l still do not like Peter!

THAT LITTLE TALK
ON NEWSPAPERS

49, "a SShiy WIZ saw
an address at South church the
other night distributed some very
acceptable information to the lay
public regarding the business OF
producing newspapers. When he de-
clared, however that the only, or
chief difference between a conserva-
tive newspaper and a yellow jour-
nal Is that the first named exercises
more care to give the news accu-
rately and without color or bias, he
did not go far enough. For the yell
low newspaper not only falls to
exercise due care, but fakes, dis
torts and in the first place prints
mostly news that panders to the
lowest possible tastes and emotions.
There are relatively few happen
ings that pander to this taste; there
fore. in order to fill the pages with
sensational material it is necessary
to surround facts with fiction. In a
yellow newspaper, IL a news story
doesn't shock it Is scarcely worth
printing. 1t Is the shockers that get
most space, the largest headlines and
the best position. News that is
merely Informative or educational
invariably goes into the waste
basket.
The journalist was wrong In sup
posing no newspaper tried to make
hero out Of Chapman. There were
several of extensive circulation in
New York which can with justice,
we think, be accused of having
played up Chapman as much
abused person. One of them. mani
testify in an attempt to acquire q
species Of warped circulation, ran
sort of Chapman crusade for sever
al weeks.
The best of newspapers make mis-
takes. An unfortunate thing about a
newspaper error in judgment Is 1t
covers lot Of territory, and comes
to the attention Of thousands Of peo-
pie. Another feature about a mis-
take that irritatcs the newspaper
workers who occasionally make
them Is that 1t is surprising how
many people notice the mistake !;
whereas many a happening that is
handled 10 perfection as to details
and the giving of a truthful journal
istic perspective to readers receives
no word Of commentator. Let the
unfortunate reporter write a splen-
| did and truthful story, and scarcely
anyone communicates Congratula-
tons to his boss; let him make an
error of one sentence, one line, or
even a word, and protests will
swamp the Office, the managing
editor must lend an irritated ear to
complaints or read them in his mail
The Brooklyn journalist hailed

THE SPEAKING DRAMA
IN THIS CITY

The success attending the presen-
tation OF spoken drama in New
Britain n few days ago has led TO
tho hope that more may be given
and that thiA city may again be
placed on the routes OF travelling
companies.
There was time in the history
OF New Britain when this was re-
garded as a good show town, when
the spoken drama prospered here
and musical shows Of merit we're
frequent callers Until the other day
this was no longer the case; but
New Britain has not been the only
city where this metamorphosis has
taken place. Small cities from
Maine TO California today are in
the same position as Podunk Center
was 20 or 80 years ago go far as
the spoken drama is concerned.
Only repeated offerings and popular
approval, such as was seen here last
week, can change the situation in
the future.
The main reason for the virtual
annihilation OF the speaking stage in
the small cities has been the de-
velopment OF moving pictures. Peo-
pie as a rule have certain amount
of time for amusement seeking and
a more or less circumscribed budget
for meeting the costs thereof. When
the movies get most OF the time
devoted to amusements and similar
proportion of the funds available
for theatricals, speaking dramas
have had so much harder shedding.
The matter of price has also been
a factor. The films have appealed to
a large audience in the first place
because they gave satisfactory
amusement at a low price. They
began at a nickel-in the era be-
fore the war-and gradually de-
manded more as the quality of the
Aim shows advance.
The films fill q large demand for
amusement, but irrespective Of what
the press agents say, they do not
take the place of the spoken drama
The technique is different and the
results are not the same. The subtle
refnements Of acting, the accentua-
ton Of lighting effects, the forceful-
ness of speech, are missing in films
| irrespective of other advantages
Anyone who has seen the same
play on the stage and then in the
films can readily understanding the
mild character of a film climax
compared with the same climax pre-
scented by skilled stage performers
The films are an institution an(
are here TO stay, and are great II
their field; but that isn't saying
that the public in the smaller citie
should be denied the pleasures o
the more intimate speaking stage.
Any move that will bring Thu
legitimate drama back 10 the small
or cities should be encouraged.
