to the point, the words of Antipholus

will never be, although its title is on
all lips. People who look upon Shakes
peare as a great miracle with infinite
powers full grown from the beginning,
or as unconnected with the movements

little to confirm their theory in this
play. Surely he was not gifted in his
infancy as Gray suggests in his Pro

HEARD ONLY HIMSELF.

President Mckinley claims to have
discovered in his tour of the middle
west an almost unanimous sentiment in
favor of the forcible annexation of the
Philippines. It is a common mistake
the president has made. When men
take off their hats to him or cheer him
when he passes, it does not necessarily
mean that they endorse his policies or
approve his course. They are simply
paying their respects to the chief exec
utive of the nation, just as the people
of this city turned out to greet Presi-
dent Harrison and honor him a few
years ago. without respect to creed or
party affilia tons.
An eastern newspaper recently made
canvass of the q, eco farmers living
in strong Republican districts of the
middle west, with the following results:
To the question, Should the Filipinos
be held in subsection TO the United
States, or should they be allowed to
form an independent government? p"
Il, $50 answers were for promising and
giving them independence. while S,415
were for holding them in subsection to
this government.
The next question was: Should Cuba
be free and independent, or should it
be annexed TO the United States?" In
reply. 1879 men were in favor of maxi
ing Cuba free and independent, while
1852 wanted the island annexed.
SHOULD there be free trade between
the United States and Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines?" No, 1852;
yes, 1927.
Should coolie or contract labor be
permitted in Hawaii or other tropical
in defiance of the United
States contract labor laws?" No, 1905:
yes. 1,151.
And to show that these farmers knew
what they were talking about, here is
another question evidently put to them
as a test, and their answer comsnends
the great majority and their opinions
to people generally: Should United
States senators be elected direct by the
people?e Yes, 1858; no, 1,1S6.

step before he trusts himself to take if

| the workshop, and the earnest student
of Shakespeare will be interested in
studying him there, for he will notice
first those defects which the dramatist
outgrew and then the elements OF
genius that prophesy we'll his later de-
velopment in dramatic art.
| And, first, let us study the play
noticing it's imperfections. Destructive
criticism does not always foster the
proper attitude of mind toward a work
of art, but when combined with con-
structive criticism it is an indispen-
sable part of all literary study. One
cannot appreciate the highest excel
lence in any field of work unless he
recognizes that that is not excellent. A
student of "OtheIlo," for instance, is
the more appreciative of that play for
having felt the defects of the Comedy
of Errors"
We note in this play an absence of
shakespeare sure mastery of verse.
He is at this time making use of the
loggerel verse SO generally employed by
his contemporaries, especially the loose
Alexandrine which was introduced in
early Elizabethan literature to ex-
press serious moods. but which later
tended to produce humorous effects, as
in this play. 1t is the natural language
of the Dromios:
Was there ever any man thus beaten out
of season,
When in the why and wherefore is neither
rhyme nor reason.
In nearly the entire second scene af
act III this doggerel verse is used. and
we can but feel frequently that it is
without rhyme or reason Besides
deggerei verse, we note the frequent
use of the rhynled iambic pentameter,
especially in the conversations between
Luciano and Adrianas noticeable also in
the use of the alternate rhymes in the
conversations of Luciano and Antipno-
lus of Syracuse. Now. rhyme is not
capable of the highest dramatic use,
and the reader should see hiw in this
playi it is an obstacle to the dramatic
dialogue. Even when the poet uses
blank verse, as In the first and last
acts. it lacks the freedom OF the blank
verse of his maturer work: there are
comparatively no .run-on lines IN the
play, the voice coming to a pause at the
end of every line. Furnivali makes the
proportion of run~on lines in the Com
edy Of Errors as | to 7.66. while in

MORE WIND THAN WATER.

It must have been humiliating, even
TO our hardened contemporary, when
that exposure of its Farley creek in
vestigation was made public. 1t ap-
pears that one Geddes an employee of
the widely known journalist who
shapes the destiny and makes the
tickets of the Republican party of
Utah, went up Parley's canyon a few
days ago armed with a bottle or two
hunting and fishing for microbes. Mile
upon mile he wandered (and, by the
way, if Ezra should happen to win

1t suited his purpose. There was just
enough TO fill his phials. So he cap
tured his prey and returned with COM
mendable haste to his employer who
swears by the great horned bacilli
that Ezra shall clean up that puddle
if Archie has not already done so.
The colonel had been gagging at the
bare mention of water for several
days before Archie made his catch, and
had sought to prejudice others
against the use of water in any form
except for campaign purposes. What
his feelings must have been when he
learned that the city isn't now and
hasn't been using water from Parley's
creek for weeks. may be imagined.
The gagging was for political effect.
1t was a magnificent piece of acting,
but the public has had a glimpse be-
hind the scenes. The illusion is dis

to make use Of these, but there is by
no means such an abundance of them,
nor such dependence ON them, in his
later plays. Compare. for instance, the
puns of ting Drornios with those of the
grave-diggers in Hamlet" or of the
fool in king Lear" Aside from the
frequent pUns. we find that wit and
imagery are drawn out to the point of
exhaustion in the studied words of

a fact that the aggregate tonnage is
