Shillito Assistants General Russell's report shows a general improvement in the prosper- ity of the island, the total customs receipts being the greatest in its his- tory, and a treasury surplus of $1,- 273, 368 is on hand. Reasonably good times have come to most of the farm- ing people, who are the 'great major-! ity of the population. This prosperity has resulted in the construction of many public improvements. However, there seems to exist a wide gap between the sentiments of the progressive Haitian officials and those of the older reactionary poli- tical groups. The political filibuster- ors dominate many of the native newspapers. Accordingly they have retrenched themselves, under the new regime, behind what they term the freedom of the press in thier bitter, obstructive, and for the most part unfounded, attacks upon the Haitian government. The politicians' 'have been particularly bitter toward, President Borno for refusing to call into session the island assembly on the ground that the country was not ready for it. In all probability he was right. Haiti could hardly be trusted with a popular election. The illiterate farm- ing population would be completely under the thumb of the political dema- gogues, and instead of electing a sane legislative body, the politicians would probably - regain their lost power. Even though the dependence of Presi-. dent Borno upon the United States government may be detrimental ' to national self-respect, no one can doubt that it is far better than the chaos which heretofore existed. The task of educating the Haitians in the best methods of self-govern-I ment, is, like the settling of theI Tacna-Arica boundary dispute, a thankless one. It is plain to see that the Haitians will not be ready to rule themselves for some time to come. The hardest task .is convincing them of that fact. Nevertheless, it is the government's self-appointed task to fit them to govern themselves, and one which our national policy toward the smaller American republics will not permit us to lay down undone.

THE DEACON'S COUSIN. * * * OFF FOR THE POLE! Everybody's sending out expeditions to the ice-box of the world looking for a place to park airplanes on their way to Europe. It's getting to be a com- mon thing for a couple of men to buy an airplane and start expeditioning for something they don't know any- thing about, and care less. Every- body gives them a great sendoff, and then a few months later they come sneaking in the back door. We don't believe in expeditions for such trivial reason as land in the Arctic ocean. What if they did find any? Who would clean off the ice and snow every morning? But to do the thing on a far gran- der and more sensible scale, Rolls will outfit an expedition that will dis- cover something really important. This expedition will leave immediate- ly on a trip to Earth, where it will investigate the buried civilization of centuries ago. An attempt will be made to discover the hidden city of Ann Arbor, fabled in song and story as the site of the University of Michi- gan, U. S. A., whose football team in 1926' 0. C. (old calendar) sunk the United States navy. Rolls' Own Expedition will also seek suitable land for an ether plane land- ing field for the proposed short-cut route between Saturn and Mars. -Timothy Ray. Dear Sir: Something ought to be done about this student investigation of the liquor problem. According to the reports the committee submitted, they say that the sought for liquid can be got- ten at five places within a stone's throw of the Engineering arch. Well the other day I stood in front of the Engineering arch all afternoon throwing stones and all I got was a summons to the police court for breaking a window. I repeat something should be done.

You go to the Ziegfeld Follies to see the American girl glorified; you go to the Music Box to see lavish set- tings and luscious music; and you go to Charlot's Revue to see Beatrice Lillie, Gertrude Lawrence and Jack Buchanan. If, as happens in the case of the edition at the Shubert-Lafayette I this week, there is a really lovely chrnu and an appetizing song called "A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You," well and good, but the show is worth seeing just for the three stars. I In fact, any American revue would think it was doing the public a favor by featuring even one of them. Beatrice Little is the funniest I womian I have ever seen. She has not the proportions, physi- cally, of Charlotte Greenwood. She does not need them. She is really a remarkably good looking woman, (even with a man's hair-cut), and perfectly normal as to hands, arme, ankles....and the rest. But neither does she care how ridiculous she !makes herself, in looks or actions. She comes out first as Miss Fancy Robinson singing selections from her repertoire. Miss Robinson, so a note informs us, sings only the works of MT.. Noel Coward. Her first number is a lovely little thing entitled "The Roses Make Me Remember What Any Nice Girl Would Forget." While she is resting from this effort she at- tempts, while holding tight to the piano, to do the Charle'ston. It strikes a familiar chord. Again she appears in an utterly ridiculous black velvet gown lined with the flags of all na- tions and sings "March With Me," which many will remember from last year, and which has lost none of its power. It is no wonder that, as the program tells us, it was requested. In I r her nearest approach to seriousness, she appears as a young man, dressed r in a tuxedo, and sings "There Are Times." She even has a good voice. Another lovely lady, Gertrude Law- rence, runs the gamut from come- dienne to "heavy." In "Early Mourning," a skit written by Noel Coward, she regales the audience with telephone conversations from a bed, and in "Poor Little Rich Girl," -also by Noel Cowa'rd, she appears as a woman of ithe streets. She it was, incidentally, who introduced "Lime- house Blues," in the first edition of the revue. In between these two ef- forts she sings and dances "Russian Blues," "Let's All Go Raving Mad," "A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You" (aided by Mr. Buchanan), and a specialty all her own, not to mention appearing in "Fate," a crazy little triangle play in which the hero, Mr. Buchanan, asks the pleasure of the audience at each crisis, and follows I their advice. Mr. Jack Buchanan, a Teal Scotch- man, who wears the real tartan of the famous C'lan Buchanan in the finale of the first act, can sing, look hand- some, and be funny, as well as his great accomplishment, namely: he can do a soft-shoe dance in a pair of actual Oxford bags without break- iug his neck, without even falling down. He is the chief victim of the barber who just finished shaving a man with the hiccoughs in "Methods of Barberism." He has the third name part in "Author, Actor and Vic- tim." He is still the victim in "Peace and Quiet," another remains from last year's revue. He is the perfect all- around revue man. You cannot go wrong on Chariot's -nor is this publicity.
