SHUBERTS TO HEAD
Student PRINCE" AGAIN

Tho Messrs. Shubert Will present
their most successful operetta, "Tho
Student Prince" at English's the
weel, Of March 1, after q years en-.
gagement In New York. The work
has been called the most glorious
operetta OF our time, and tho fact
that tho music is by Signund Rom
berg. composer OF "'Maytme" and
Blossom Time" win give some Ida
OF the beauty OF the score.
1.-THE Student Prince" has the I'd.
vantage in the first place OF possess
ing for a plot foundation the ro-
mantle love story OF "Old Heidei-
berg" which the lato Richard Mans.
field introduced TO this country IN
1903 as n dramatic piece, and which
remained for years one OF the most
popular numbers OF his repertoire.
It deals with tho love romance Of
brave Prince Karl and the little
waitress at tho University OF Heidel-
berg Inn, where tho students gather
for their song festivals and jollinca-
lions. It's scenes are laid at tho
university and at tho court OF Karl.
and hence the largo mise en- scene
lends itself readily 20 tho highly
spectacular.
The score is by Sigmund Rom
berg, the young musical genius
whose name has been associated with
so many successful musical come
dies, extravaganzas and operottas.
This score is highly dramatic and
accompanies the important action
throughout. out It is also filed with
stirring student songs. These songs
are not based upon n use OF old stu
dent song motifs, but are original in
every case.

Thirteen Months Hence

(Boston Herald)
The newspapers have been telling
us that the senators and representa-
tiyes elected the other day-unless
perchance they are to fill out the
terms of men who have died in office
will not regularly take their
seats until December. 1927, thirteen
months hence. 1t might be added
that the Christmas recess will then
come before committee organiza-
ton can be effected,and that they
will not get down to work until early
in 1928.
Is this common sense? Does this
fit an age of automobiles, and cleo
tricity, and the radio? 1t seems to
us not. The remedy has been readily
within reach of late in the Norris
amendment, but nobody could get
the Republican leadership of the
House to move in the matter. Mich
olas Longworth, the speaker, was
Indifferent to the proposal. So were
most of the wise men about him, we
think in mistaken judgment. Ninety
per cent, of all there is in the Dawes
reform could be accomplished in this
way much more simply. The jam
comes only in the years of the short
session, and with the enforced ter
mination of business on March a. If
we had a reasonable average amount
of time each year, there would be
little or no trouble with the filibus-
terers.
Think it over and keep up the agi-
tation. The long delay might some
time prove dangerous.

SURPLUS REVENUES

Those who pay taxes are naturally
predisposed to favor reduction. But
taxpayers wish to have certain
things done, certain improvements
provided, and should recognize that
the costs Of government must be
met Some are wise enough to ap-
preciate the fact that unwise reduce
ton of taxes easily might be more
Injurious in effect that retention Of
the higher rates. However, they
presumably are not in the majority
so we do not have political slogans
that read: High taxes and so have
that which we need" although we do
occasionally have slogans which
mean that.
When it was learned the revenues
from the present law were larger
than anticipated several of the party
leaders among the Democrats pub
licly announced that they would
work to have the law changed and
a new one in its place. 1t was
urged on the contrary that the rev.
enues were larger than expected be-
cause of good times, that 1t would be
unwise to disregard the fact that
times might not continue to be SO
good and in consequence revenues
fall off; that the present revenue
law had not been in operation over
a sufficient period of time in which
toY1 30 At fS or
dement's. But no, the Democrats
say change the law right away. 1t
is not improbable they suspect that
putting off the change a year might
publicans in the presidential cleo
ton.
Chairman Madden of the House
Appropriations Committee has come
out for a change in the revenue law,
q downward revision that would be-
come effective In March 1928 on the
incomes of 1927. This would not
satisfy the Democratic revisionists
but 1t is a method which would not
disturb the plans for the present
fiscal year or for part of the next
and would allow more mature con-
sideration as to what might be need
ed in the way of revision.
A surplus of a quarter of billion
dollars is expected by the end of the
present fiscal year. 1t is not whole
some to have surplus pile high in
the treasury. 1t invites eXtrava-
gance, and that is neither politically
or otherwise attractive to Presiden,
Coolidge. While he would not have
revision of the revenue law before
we may learn what features in II
need revision, before we may have
natured judgment respecting what
the law will do over a period OF
years, he would, by way of refund
ing, return a part of this surplus tc
the taxpayers. This, however. is
not likely to be applauded by those
eager to get their knives into the
present revenue law.

A REGRETTABLE OCCURRENCE

Really the best a community or the
participants themselves get from
athletic sports is the discipline in
sportsmanlike conduct. The attitude
of Cony High School and of the peo-
pie of the city in favor of clean sport
is very pronounced. Those who in
dulge in unsportsmanlike conduct are
neither friends to the school nor to
the community.
1t appears certain amount of
dulged in after the game Saturday
afternoon, though the first we heard
of it was on Monday. We Immediate
called up Superintendent of Schools
Burrill. He, too. had heard nothing
about any such demonstration. He
could not believe any of the students
had share in it. 1t should be con-
demned unsparingly, he said. He is
right. There is no excuse for it.
AS reported, several rotten eggs
were thrown among the Gardiner
celebrants on Water street, damag-
ing the clothes of some of the young
ladies. How many eggs were thrown
or by whom they We're thrown we
have not learned. If by any stud
ents, the hoodlumism is all the more
despicable, for they have been
trained in better ways and should be
possessed of enough intelligence to
avoid doing such d thing.
The game on Saturday was cleanly
played and clearly won by GARDENERS
superior team. They won by super
iority and who is there who would
begrudge them the credit for it?
Certainly no one with good sense, let
alone the spirit of fair play. They
had a right to celebrate and who is
so poor a sport as to interfere with
It? We don't know who did, nor
how extensively they did it, but we
think we do know that they yet have
lot to learn before they will make
creditable citizens.
