they want. 1t should be remembered
that there are good plays and bad
plays, good actors and bad actors, just
as there are good books and bad books,
and good and bad in other fields of
human effort. 1t should be remem-
bered to the credit of the theater, that
one Of the greatest philosophers and
greatest poets that the world has vet
produced, William Shakespeare, was an
actor, and that when general denunci-
alton of theaters and actors is express

"'Oh, but we go to see some one like
Edwin Booth in Shakespearian pro-
ductions,' some one protests. But they
never realize how they are building up
in their minds an idolatry. They mar
vel at the beauty of the lines
All the world Is a stage,
And all the men and women merely players
but they never think that the mod

parts of the great drama Of human life.
They are willing to concede Snakes

but the dogmas are dying, the
creeds are disappearing, the progress
Of the world is onward. TO those VINO

lennium it has become divine duty to
strain every nerve to urge forward the
work. No one man can reform the
world; no one man can even reform MS
own profession. Each must do his
part Each in his own way and &C
cording to his lights must help to carry
forward the progress of the world.
II am a profound believer in what
Col Ingersoll has so aptly described as
the restraining influence of liberty,
although l confess I do not believe In
the colonePs sincerity in some OF his
magnificently turned periods. But
believe in this doctrine, and l want tC
digress long enough to say few words
upon this great principle.
Mr.. Hearne gave graphic descrlp-
ton Of the Ohio insane asylum at To-
ledo, in which the utmost freedom was
given to all the inmates, and in which
DR.. H. A. Toby, the superintendent
treated the patients with absolute truth
and libe1 ality, with results that were
marvellous. in that only three attempts
to get away were ever made, and al
though none of the windows are barred
or doors bolted, only one window has
ever been broken by any patient in his
effort to escape.
This Illustration was a practical ex-
qualification of Mr.. Hearnes reform
ideas, which to him have all the seri-
BUSINESS and weight of religion. 1t is
the doctrine Of the single tax. This to
him was synonymous with liberty 1t
was to free the natural opportunities;
to allow man access, uninterrupted and
undisturbed by the greed of law
made landlordism, to the soil from
which he must draw his sustenance,
and upon which he must live. The sin
gle tax would abolish involuntary pow
erty by destroying involuntary idleness;
it would break down the first barriers
between the millionaire and the hungry
man hunting for job; it would be the
first great step toward the realization
of the doctrine of the fatherhood OF
God and the brotherhood Of man.
