In ability and appearance this famous young wo- an has little to disunguish her from ousands of other actresses. She is u61-‘ flier a great singer nor a.«great dancer and her beauty is of the not unfamiliar doll type; But the fact that; according to a report, she was once the favorite or a King is her great-asset.

There ma be some satisfaction in knowing :that oronto is by no means alone in this weakness. Al- though. it is reported tha Gab was something. of a frost in ontrea, her success in‘ practically all American cities has been phenomenal. Even in England she had a marvellous run. and some of the articles about her appearing even in. staid papers and magazines were .of the most gushing type. slit-ending her with a complexity of character and wonderful mentality which if a plied to a. Cleopatra would have been big praise.

Mr. O’Nelli's Success. The surprise of the Municipal election in 'noronto was the phenomenal vote polled by John O’Neill in the race for the Board of Control. Mr. O’Neill is a Liberal Roman Catholic who in Orange Tory Toronto polled the second highest vote of the eleven candidates. This is Just one of those unusual events which sometimes vary the monotony of voting in this somewhat unusual city.“ _ u. nun nv-uvivuwu y..-_.,..â€"_ Mr. O‘Neill is a. man of no little per- sonal strength; He has a. human, affec- tionate element, in his make 11 which makes friends easily and hols them last. He is also a man of wealth. being largely interested in real estate and in several hotel properties, one of which; the St. Charles, is a, well-known down-town vlpnerty pgnprollgd by his grotgzer. .__ _._-:__; ynvyva. v.1 uuuwv.... _-.. __V~__-,, Some criticism has been offered against Mr. O’Neiil’s. campaign on the‘ ground that he spent too much money: There is no suggestion that any of this money was snth for corrupt purposes, but he used printing and advertising very ex- tensively as well as other meansof pro- moting his campaign. One report states that his election cost him not less than 5.000; His salary as Controller will be 2.500. The argument is that such a scale of exnenditure makes it impossible for a poor man to run for the Board of Con- trol, or if he does run, that he will be hemmed to get his necessary expenses by graft or other improper means at the ultimate expense of the city. It is likely that the movement to require the publica- tionnor laiLelectiop“ expenses and perha s ,A_,:;A_-\_ - those municipalities already held they have been able to add a considerable number of others is particularl encour- aging. 0n the other hand.

From these facts they argue~that the local option or grohllgition ‘wave has about reached its e13 . At\ the Council Board there are many new faces, including Dr. Merle Wickett, the “high brow" candidate w o headed the poll in his ward. Dr. Wickett now has an excellent chance to put his theoljles of Municipal Government into practlce. His friends say he will make good. If a does. he will have little trouble in be- nw elected to the Board of Control in the near future and possible also to the Mayor's chair. especially as during the last year or two the calibre of Conser- vatlves offering for the highest positions in the city has not been. in some instant» es. nea-rly up to the standard of the party in Toronto.
