pOwden's cOmparis9n ot Jaques to sterns

Dowden's comparison OF Jaques to Sterne
seems TO me a peculiarly happy one.
Not 10 refer even briefly 10 the other
characters, let US for a moment consider
the question. What Is the Fundamental
Idea or the play, as the Germans like to
call 1t? Two critics, one man, tho other
a woman, agree well in stating II. Mr..
Neil. In his Introduction tOsthe play, says:
when we read this drama we see that 10
recognizes love as the pivot and center
Of activity and joy. the very core OF Hfe
When we observe that ali the coils

IL not be that AS You Like It Is a divine
morality as well as a charming play %
CMorality' is here used in the old dra-
matte sense OF a play meant 10 enforce a
moral truth or lessonO }
And Lady Martin, who had personated
the heroine, OF the play Ia a manner TO
charm all who were SO fortunate as TO see
her on the stage, remarks;
! To me As You Like 1t" seems 10 be as much
love poem as, Romeo and Juliet" with this
dinerence-that- II deals with happy love, while
the Eeronese story deals with love crossed by
misadyenture and crowned with death. II is as
full OF imagination, OF 'the glad rapture OF the
tender passion. OF its impulsiveness. its gener-
osity. its pathos. No ''hearseIike airs" indeed
come wailing by. as in the tale OF those star
crossed lovers, 10 warn us Of their too early
overthrow" All Is blended into n rich. har-
rnonious music which makes the heart throb.

OPPOSITION ANSWERED.
Mayor Phelan Resents Inspired At
tack of a Railroad Organ.

In the heart OF the Mayors precinct
was held last night a rousing meeting
in favor of bonds. II was called under
the auspices OF the Central Association
OF Improvement Clubs and the Federation
OF Mission Improvement Clubs and was
very largely attended.
Mayor Phelan confined his remarks al
most entirely 10 the opposition TO the
bonds that has been shown by the South
ern Pacific Company through its news
paper organs
'Thls evening" said the Mayor. 81 read
an editorial In an evening paper attack
ing the bond question and questioning the
sincerity Of its promoters. AS we all
know, the paper is the mouthpiece of the
railroad company. and during the past
three or four years everything that has
been attacked by its editors has been
Favored by the people. | think therefore,
that we ought to welcome the opposition
OF the railroad company because its in
spiration is so plain. 1t does not want the
park brought closer TO the people because
IL wants forever 10 collect all the nickels
possible for carrying people TO ana from
issue these bonds the railroad people will
have TO pay their share of the taxes and
II Is never pleasant TO the Southern Pa
cine Company 10 pay out taxes. Hence IL
declares that there is no necessity for
improvements and IL emits a wall that
San Francisco should be so progressive
as 10 want 10 do anything that may keep
Few dollars from its receptive treasury.
1T has also been said that the bond
issue is being fought by the pioneers.
II are merely handful of slurians who

pioneers can be seen nightly on our plat

Panhandle Popular With Work
inQmen

Employees Of the Union Iron Works lis
tened attentively yesterday afternoon to
arguments in favor of the panhandle ex-
tension and bonding the city for new
schoolhouses, an up-to-date sewer system
and a habitable hospital. The working
men were greatly interested in the sub
ject, and from the applause that greeted
the speakers ii may be inferred that a ma
Jority Of them are favorable to the pro-
posed public improvements.
d The principal speaker was Mayor Phe-
Ian. He said that the contemplated i'm
provements appealed with the greatest
force to the working classes. 'The ex-
penditure of vast sums of money on pub
lie works In a city the charter of which
provides that none but those who hav.
resided here for at least a year shall be
employed on such work is bound to bene-
fit the workingmen now here" said the
Mayor. There can be no escape from
that conclusion. and the argument that
the extension of the park panhandle and
other public improvements will fill the city
with unemployed men is folly" He de-
clared that the greater part Of the Sll 900. :
600 that II Is proposed to expend will go
among the laboring classes and most of IL
will remain in San Francisco. Prolonged
cheers greeted the Mayor at the conciu-
sion Of his argument
