The Theater "a. a Teacher.

w. ~. HoWeilS III harperS weekly.
The theater has been called a school of
morals, and the fact is not affected by the
other fact that it is far oftener school
of inmorals 1t Is both one and the other;
but it is the fault, the shame, the crime
of the state that the theater is ever a
school of iTnmorals.
If in any pulpit were preached by mock
cries of purity and appeals to lu5ricity
such as we are used to in the tneater; fly
ing were inculcated. and passion put above
duty; If revenge were taught as something
noble; If homicide were lightly invoked,
and adultery trea ted as a comical affair;
somehow the law would reach that pulpit,
although the state processes to have no
reia ton with the church. In like manner,
If in any private school or college the hu-
manities were impaired by a chair de-
voted to the study Of those authors whose
work befouls literature the law would
somehow intervene to prevent the mis-
chief. although the effect might be logically
blamed as socialistic meddling with pri-
vate enterprise. The theatec however, Is
left Gnmolested in almost any excess; ideas
are enacted If not expressed there which
are simply aboninable We all know; we
can prove 1T at any time; it Is undeniable.

An Easy Victory.

Mr.. Meekton's wife had been making a
few remarks to which her husband listened
with a patience which showed that his dis
position is diplomatic rather than bellicose.
The theme of her discourse was the in
feriority of men and their usurpation of
power topic on which she can be depend
ed to wax eloquent even if she has to say
the same things over several times.
Henrietta" ventured her husband, In a
gentle tone, Il do not think that you were
quite right in saying that the whole scheme
of creation shows that women are superior
beings"
do-not-think-what?" she de-
manded in ominous accents.
Il do not think-er-that is to say. 1 ad-
nit that you bring some very good argu-
ments to bear on your side of the question"
You speak if there were any other
side to it, Mr.. Meekton.''

You offer facts which very strongly sup
port your theory when you refer to the
success with which queens have governed
and to the brilliancy of the Elizabethan
period in particular 1t is also worthy of
note that we intuItiveiy refer to a great
government OF a great ship She But
there Is one important truth which you
cannot controvert." Her eye warned him.
and he hastened to add, THAT is to say,
an important truth which most people
would have difficulty in controverting. You
cannot deny that after the Garden Of Eden

pear on the scene"

And vainly must musicians toll

For tones like those with which the OIL

A Moral COmprOmiae.

Young man." said Senator Sors shum TO
the protege of whom he expects to make
successful politician, Il am afraid that you
are drifting toward methods that do not
invite the calcium glare of publicity"
II don't quite understand" was the en-
barrassed answer.
1T seems to me that some of the plans
you contemplate would cause you embar-
rassment If you were called upon to cluci-
date their details"
"Well. senator, you're what they call a
practical politician yourself
Exactly" was the self-appreciative re-
ply. "And as such 1 am prepared to eis-
miss all considerations of sentiment and 10
acknowledge no criterion except success"
well, a good many men keep a few cards
up their sleeves.
take they often make is to insist on ringing
them into the game when they hold the
winning hand anyhow. i have seen many
q man spoil straight flush of natural
ability and courage for the sake of holding
an inadequate pair of aces, in the way OF
chicanery.
THAT isn't they way you talked some
time ago."
What did i sayr'
"You remarked, among other things. that
every man has his price"
HIN. That's one of the sentences witch
I suspect are often repeated because they
sound well and because nobody Is able to
produce proof one way or the other. But
that aspect OF the question is metaphysical
and not political. Assuming that the propo-
sition is correct, well epigrammaIic;
il Is q great mistake to hang out the piice
tag where everybody can see It, For people
to get the impression that politician is
on the bargain counter may produce a TEN
porary activity in trade; but 1t is certain
in the end. to cause q terrible let-iown In
the demand for the goods"
