Harry Cooper Makes the Gayety , Show Look Good There's many a hearty laugh in the liodge-podge of merry burlesque, which Harry Cooper and "The Sport ing Widows" present at the Gayety theater this week. The show opened last night and Cooper "had 'em go ing" from the very first time that he slouched across the stage. It's Cooper this and Cooper that and,Cooper all the time. His job is laugh-making, he works hard at it and is a big success. He dances grotesquely, he sings weirdly, he plays the harmonica artfully. But 1 whatever he does he accompanies with iaCilLexpressions and bodily an tics that are rr.-:'mpns ot comeay. Without Cooper, the show would be a second-rater. But with Cooper, the show is among the best of the first rate burlesque. There's a little, winsome bit of a woman named Irene Meara, who can't sing much and can't dance much. But she has a way about her which insinuates her into the heart of the audience. She Tanguays her self across the stage to peppery music and shakes her toulsed head just like ' I Don't Care" Eva used to do. The result is that she makes a hit with everything she attempts. Incidentally she is good to look at and wears cos tumes sufficiently abbreviated to re veal that goodness. Leo Hayes, Maud Rockwell, the Morretti Sisters, Mat Kennedy and Cooper, stage some revue specialties which are well worth seeing ami hear ing. The chorus costumes and scen ery are elaborate and beautiful. Williamson to Talk to The Salesmanship Club On Monday night, at the Fontenelle hotel, I'. L.

Persistent Advertising Is the Road to success. IRISH AIRS AND JIGS RECALL DAYS IN ERIN Hibernians Celebrate St. Pat rick's Day With Speech and Song. ARCHBISHOP TAKES PART "Cume doon harder wid dem heels," grumbled an aged Irishman in a rear seat at the St. Patrick's night cele bration of the Hibernians in Creigh ton university auditorium, when Miss Anna Hartnet was dancing the Irish reel. "More power to ye," he enthused as she circled the rostrum with an other saucy clatter of her polished pumps. And when Birdie and Lillie Bar rett, in green skirts, were sallying forth and back on the stage in the perfect rhythm of the Irish jig, this same enthusiastic son of Erin was again heard in the southwest corner of the hall: "Sure, ye can only do that for a few minutes, and me old mither could keep it up all night." All Had Longing. "Sure, ye have all the steps we had in the old country," his chatter was heard again, and then "Begorra, if I was only up there wid ye." Though the rest in the audience re strained themselves from verbal ex pression, the same spirit that almost lifted the old Irishman from his seat animated the rest of the hundreds of Irish in the house who were cele brating the anniversary of the saint who brought the gospel to Ireland. Old Irish dances, Irish songs and Irish music echoed through the halls throughout the evening until nearly midnight. Thomas J. Flynn presided, and from the streamers and decorations he wore one would with difficulty have detected Marshal Flynn from Marshal Ney. Mrs. E. A. Weathers rendered some solos, including the universally loved selection, "Mother Machree." Popular Selections. Gerald La Violette recited "Dawn on the Coast of Ireland," with con siderable feeling. Patrick O'Neil was quite a favorite with his song selections. Jack, Ben and Mary Gib son entertained delightfully with their dances in perfect unison, and Francis P. Matthews spoke on the Catholicity of the Irish. He reviewed the early Irish religious rites, show ing that they, like all other European countries, had once been pagan, but showing that their paganism was less degrading than that of almost any other country in Europe, that in fact the Druids always preached but one God, and that their paganism never sank to the degrading depths of human sacrifice. A quartet composed of pupils of Patrick O'Neil rendered some pleas ing selections, Miss Geraldine O Mal ley sang Irish folk songs, Miss Anna Hartnet and Birdie and Lillie Bar rett did some more dances, William Hunt sang the favorite old rollicking strains of "I'm Off for .Philadelphia in the Morning," and Francis I. Gerin and Joseph Herman enter tained with the violin. Archbishop Talks. Archbishop Harty concluded the program with a short talk on the work of S:. Patrick and the glory of the Irish race. He showed that from the fift1 to the eleventh century Ire land was the class room of Europe. "From all over Europe." he said, "came students, and here highest ex cellence was achieved. "In later years Ireland's sons went across the seas and founded schools rnd seats of learning such as Creieh ton university and others. And I needn't tell you that John Creighton wasn't a German, neither was he an Englishman. God sent the sons of Erin over the world to civilize and Christianize and make the world bet ter.

B. F. BUSH,. Receiver St. Louis, Mo., March, 1917. To the Public and All Officers and Employes: We have been advised by the Conference Committee of the General Managers' Association that at Six o'Clock, P. M., Mon day, March 19th, 1917, all Enginemcn and Trainmen on the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain Railways will refuse to run our trains. You are familiar with the issues which have culminated in this strike order, being the same which resulted in the strike order last September. The Representatives of the National Or ders of the Engine and Trainmen demanded an increase in wages of approximately Twenty-five per cent by insisting upon the same wage for the so-called Eight-hour day that they had been receiving for a ten-hour day under existing contracts, with overtime at increased rates, which demand they are un willing to submit to any impartial tribunal. To Avert the strike last September upon the same issues, the Adamson Act was passed by Congress, which, in effect, placed upon the carriers of the country the increased wages de manded by the men. The Procedure by which this Legislation was secured from the legislative branch of our National Govern ment is now a part of the History of this Strike movement. The only recourse left to the Carriers under our existing form of government, unless as trustees for the Public and the properties which they represented and they yielded to the de mands made by the representatives of the enginemen and trainmen for increased wages without a hearing as to the Just ness of such demands was to submit the question of the validity of this law to the only forum provided I. E., the courts. ' Unless the arbitrary demands of the employes of the car riers, either for increased wages, for shorter hours or for other concessions which, under our form of government, are legitimate subjects of contract and agreement between employer and em ploye are to be acceded to without dispute whenever presented, the issues presented to the courts in an orderly way by the car riers should have been permitted to proceed to a final decision before the representatives of the employes attempted to again take the issues into their own hands. Upon any legitimate issue concerning life or property the framers of our constitution intended that a hearing should be had in a court of competent jurisdiction unless the issues by our agreement are submitted to arbitration, and, unless force in stead of law, is to control the rights of property this principle of our government should be strictly adhered to. Before the promulgation of the present strike order, the General Managers' Association for the Railroads again offered to submit the issues to the Goethals committee, named by the President under the Adamson Act, and to abide by the decision of that committee, which proposition the National Representa tives of the Engine and Trainmen have again flatly refused. Under the arrangements made last fall, if the Adamson Law is upheld by the courts the Railways agreed to pay the increases in wages established by that law from the 1st of Jan uary, 1917. This agreement is also Ignored in the present strike order as are the existing agreements establishing a ten-hour day as the Unit of service and the provisions in existing con tracts that thirty days' notice shall be given of any termination1 of the contract relation existing between the Jtailroads and these employes. No notice has yet been given by the Chairmen of these or ganizations to our officers as provided in the contracts they should have done. But all these contracts have.been rated by the National Representatives of these employes as holding the carriers as by a log chain, but not binding the employes by so much as a silken cord. Since connection with the properties of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain Companies, in return for my efforts to render the Public efficient service, I have at all times received the Loyal Co-operation and support of our officers and employes without the skill and co-operation of the officers and employes the rails, cars and locomotives would have been useless mechanical devices in the service of the public. , I have always believed the great majority of our citizen ship believed in a government by law as distinguished from a government by force have in the past believed, and shall al ways be'ieve that the enginemen and trainmen in the service of our companies are as patriotic and law-abiding as any other class of citizens in our country. But just at this critical period, tying up the transportation facilities of the country will do more injury to our national defense than any aid that could be furnished our country's enemies. As the receiver of these prop erties appointed by the United States District Court, it is my bounden duty to attempt to continue to serve the Public by the operation of our lines. In the performance of this duty both the public and the employes who are ready and willing to assist me are entitled to the protection of all law-abiding citizens, be cause of the grave problems now confronting the Administra tion, our country needs the loyal support of all citizens engaged in interstate commerce as never before. The president of our country has appealed to our people to support the government. In this time of need I appeal to our employes, not only for the property which in the past has furnished the means of Suste nance for the families of our officials and employes, but for the benefit of the public, the injured innocent party in this strug gle, and in the name of our country, to which our allegiance is paramount to perform the full measure of their duty in this crisis.
