PARTISANSHIP KEEPS WORLD WAR MAN OUT Soldier Making Higher Average Put Aside for Party Worker. By WALLACE BASSFORD. WASHINGTON', Dec. 13.—The Democrats thought they had it firmly imbedded in the law that preference in appointments in the Governmental service should be given to men who served in the World War, not merely as ar. appreciation of their patriotic service but to aid in compensating for business disadvantages suffered through their absence from their accustomed walk of life. Fresident Wilson approved the law with his signature and upl eld it in practice, as well as the civil gjrvice law providing for the selection of the person making the highest rating in the examination. Almost as soon as Mr. Harding become President he issued an ordet rendering it unnecessary to name the person making the highest rating, and then proceeded, through his subordinates, to put the law as to former service men in the discard. Numerous cases have occurred where the former service man was refused the appointment though be had shown a higher rating in the examination than the one receiving the appointment. One of these cases occurred in the Congressional bailiwick of the late Mr. Flood of Virginia. At the town of Bremo Bluff a vacancy was to be filled in the rural car rier service and an examination was held under the civil service law, in which a man named Seay, who fought in France, made the grade of 85.40, but a man named Glass, a Republican who had devoted his time to politics while Seay was in France, making a grade of 79.50, got the Job. Mr. Flood took up the cudgels for the ex-soldier, but the fourth assistant postmaster general informed him that he had information tending to show that Glass was the better fitted for the work. Os course, this merely meant that the Republican boss or "referee” had named Glass. Mr. Flood, thinking that a man who could round up German soldiers in the Argonne could handle the rural route job, wrote to the fourth assistant. concluding with this paragraph: “I want to say to you frankly that the only conclusion I can reach is that Glass was appointed because he was a Repiublican and Seay a Democrat. Under this Republican Administration we may have to submit to the disregard of their rights, but we do not intend to submit quietly.” . Only a year or so ago the Republicans were talking of impeaching President ■Wilson for refusing to abrogate thirty odd commercial treaties at the command of the Republican Congress In the Jones bill. President Harding said in his message that it would cause a highly chaotic condition to abrogate them. Another vindication of the Democratic President. Congressman Wood of Indiana is a tall, spare, clean-shaven man of good ability —one of the Republican leaders in the House. If he isn’t an elder in the church he at least looks like one, but he used a very emphatic word in the House the other day, and when his remarks were handed him for revision he didn’t change a letter in them. Here it is: “I am only speaking the truth when I say that the people of this country employed in every vocation and in every character of business are giving this Congress hell. They art doing it because we have done nothing to stimulate business. They are doing it because we have done nothing to give employment to the unemployed. They are doing It because w e have lone nothing to benefit the farmer and stimulate the price of the farmer's products.”

HOOSIER ACTOR GIVES STAGE Wonderful Impersonation of Abraham Lincoln

I waited for the feature act at Keith’s last night with a sort of reverence seldom experienced In a vaudeville theater. The audience seemed to be waiting for something. It was waiting for Frederick Burton as Abraham Lincoln in “A Man of the People.” Soon Mr. Burton was revealed sitting at a table as Abraham Lincoln during the critical period of August, 1804. A sudden deathlike quiet fell over the theater and then applause greeted tho tall, can-worn wifi figure of history. I aril going to tgfS&M make no attempt to the v J Lincoln of Mr. ' Burton as compared with the ■affigpw real Lincoln. 1 never In tike ill - Vn time. I ha v e in; M|| own idea of the yiEmkt W real ■•■nco'n To map me. Mr. Burton has given the stage a marvelMr. Burton ous Lincoln from as Lincoln. the standpoint of ' makeup. It is my humble opinion that the make-up is the result of careful and profound study, a triumph in acting. I have seen several impersonations of Lincoln but Mr. Burton is the only one who has made me feel that some of the spiritual dignity and whole-hearted kindness of the man, was present in the impersonation. In other words, I feel that there is a whole lot of the real Lincoln in Mr. Burton's carefully drawn characterization. I am not here to 6ay that the incidents related in the three acts and the epilogue of “A Man of the People” are based on fact. That I do not know but this I do —that an attempt has been made by the author to relate certain characteristics of Lincoln as reflected in a series #f ••incidents” during the crises of the first term of Lincoln. We meet in the course of the story, such characters as the Hon. Henry Ravmond, chairman of the Republican National Committee; Colonel Nicolay as the secretary to the President: the Hon. i Thaddeus Stevens as a leader of Congress and others indentified in history. The work of William H. Turner as the scheming Stevens is indeed an effective and splendidly created impersonation. Seme really fine work, Mr. Turner, In a thankless role, 'the remainder of the cast is satisfactory but the interest centers on the really splendid work of Mr. | Burton as Lincoln. The impersonation of Lincoln by Mr. Burton at B. F. Keith's this week is not i to be missed by those who long for the better and more serious things on the vaudeville stag’. Here is genuine merit ; and splendid artistry on the part of Mr. i Eurton, an Indiana actor. It Is entertainment In Its highest and truest sense. The comedy winners of the bill are Frank Davis and Adele Darnell in "Bird-

We are at a loss to know what the name of the headline act is at "the Lyric this veek. The billing says “Beaus, Beaus, Beaus” and the program in the theater announces “Clothes, Cloes, Clothes.” The first must be right because we didn’t see any clothes worth mentioning. In fact, we thought that Raymond Loftus needed anew suit. However, we liked the act very much. They have some catchy songs. There are three pretty girls in this act. Raymond has a pleasing voice and Is rather clever. Harry Hayward and Company In “Holding Out.” is not anew idea to the regular patrons of vaudeville. Two stranded actors in a rooming house, living, in a wardrobe trunk, frying eggs on an electric iron, the usual argument and the' usual happy ending, are all found in this act. Bernard and Myers present “The Cabby and the Fare." The man who works from the audience and finally comes on the stage, has some funny lines which he knows how to "sell.” The woman sings well. The audience seemed to enjoy this act immensely. Mary Shea has improved her wardrobe

The audience doesn’t enthuse over this. The Three Rianos open the bill with an act called “Jungle Land Frolics,” a* act possessing some unique costumes. The members of the act perform some clever stunts. A good opening act. Charles McGoods and Company close the bill with an exceedingly clever balancing act. Nile Marsh and the Read Sisters failed to make their appearance while we were reviewing the show. We were told that too much time was necessary to Set the stage for this act, but that it would be in operation by today. At the Lyric all week. -!- -!- -!- MURPHY IS THE WHOLE SHOW AT THE PARK.

Murphy is the whole show as usual. He even comes out in a box and becomes chummy with the audience. Very few comedians do any vocalizing but Danny sings some comedy songs and even goes in for harmony. In the second act Murphy gives a specialty, his final number being “Follow the Master.” He is assisted by the Six Followers in this number. Florence Whitford works with energy and obtains results.

FILM HAS TOUCH OF HOOSIERLAND Armenian Boy Shown Dressed in Rushville Flour Bag. The film, “Alice In Hungerland,” being presented over the State by Near East Relief, has a real Indiana touch, some of the audiences have discovered. In one of the scenes a line of destitute Armenian boys are garbed in flour sacks, the only covering they could find to hide nude bodies. It has been discovered that one of the sacks hiding the nakedness of a starving lad bears the imprint of a Rushville (Ind.) milling firm. Near East Relief officials explain that this sack probably contained flour sent over seas by the milling company and was picked up by a native boy after it had been discarded. “This is indisputable evidence that
