MUST TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET

Arthur Pue German has not often re-
ceived serious consideration except as
an astute campaign manager and sue
cessful political boss. When, however,
he delivers an oracular opinion to the
effect that the Philippine war might
have been averted but for the stupidity
of Gen. Otis and the contumacy of our
government then the anti-administra-
ton people straightway discover that
he is a great statesman. To most people
the official reports of Gen. Otis and his
subordinates have seemed a conclusive
refutation Of this view, and they are
likely to be so accepted in history.
Gen. Wheeler was criticised for say
ing in his Boston address, that what
ever Is is right, and yet this adaptation
Of Alexander Pope's words has a wide
application in popular government. 1t
does not mean that every act of individ-
ual men, nations or administrations is
to be accepted as wise, or every motive
as Just, but taking established policies
and the working out of great issues as
a whole rather than in parts, the exist
ing order of things is the best attain
able, considering the conflicting inter
ests and the compromises almost in
variably imposed.
The principle is simple enough to be
understood and should be common
enough to obviate the necessity or repe-
tition, but it is often lost to sight. 1t
is exemplifed in every department of
government. No monetary system has
ever been or will be devised that repre-
sents the best financial intelligence and
highest financial skill in congress, but
only the average resulting from the
conflict of wisdom with ignorance, pre-
iudice and transformation. A perfect
tariff bill is an impossibility, whether
it be in a free trade country or in one
devoted to protection. Yet even though
there should be inequalities and dis
elimination in any given tariff law, the
fact does not initiate against the more
important consideration, that on the
whole the protective system has been
of meal 'uIatle and lasting benefit TO
the United states. Democracy itself as
actually practiced may not be an
ideal government, but that is not deny
ing that It S CT the whole .he best that
has been devised or can now De main
tanned.
Turning to the policy Of our gov
eminent in the Philippin IS. one need
not ;nsis- that our frame of govern
ment is tha best adapted to deal with;
the emergrne:, that arose when the
islands we're coded to US, or deny that
the delay constitutionally imposed on
the ratification of a treaty, or lie re-
strictions placed upon executive power,
did not hamper the president in arriv-
ing at the promptest and most happy
solution of the difficult problems pre-
scented. OF more practical Importance is
the proof that so far as power was
given, the administration made wise
use of its opportunities, and was in no
respect responsible for the blood that
has been shed in Luzon since last Feb
ruary.

an obscure author was rather in the
nature of an experiment, which, judg-
ing from the marks of approval in the
audience, was heartily endorsed by
them.
The period of the American revolution
has so far receded into the past that We
can estimate its history and heroes i'm
partially. We are ready to regard the
British Andre and the American Hale
alike as martyrs, and to cOmmiserate
the fate of both equally. There is a
strong parallel between the two,
though the ugly shadow of Arnold
hovers about Andres skirts; and there
are great dramatic possibilities in the
career of either. Father Jones had a
much harder task than Clyde Fitch, the
dramatic biographer of Hale, for he was
obliged to eschew all feminine Charac-
ters and win what sympathy he could
for his hero by means of f1lial affection
instead of romantic love. The part of
Andres father and the affecting scenes
of the last three acts of the play are
entirely FIR Jones own creation, and
had a powerful effect on the sensibili-
ties of the spectators.
The first scene of the drama sho Ms
the British headquarters. Sir Henry
Clinton and mis- officers are chatting at
the successful resistance of Washington
and the Americans, when a letter ar
rives from Arnold Offering to betray
the stronghold of West Point. The gen
erals are enthusiastic, but on being
asked to hazard an interview with 1hi
traitor, all shrink from the danger
Andre is sent for and volunteers at
once.
The three scenes of Act 2 bring the
meeting of Arnold and Andre and the
latter's capture by the patriots Pauld-
ing, Williams and Van Vert. These
three parts, drawn on comedy lines for
dramatic purposes, were capitally
played by Daniel ]. Kennedy, Joseph

was the surprisingly cool temperature

tightly closed during the warm spell,
and the heat has not had a chance to

Every time Emile lola wrote
'j'accuse," in that open letter which
led to his prosecution for libel, he made
a ten strike, as the final decision of
the French court of cessation has DEM
onstrated. The prophetic accuracy of
his words now seems little less than
inspired. There have been many critics
to condemn mis- fiction, because it told
too many naked truths. The same
habit of fearless statement was just
what was needed in the Dreyfus case.
1t was proof of high judicial tempera-
ment and clear insight, that he should
not have stopped over once, but hit the
nail squarely on the head with every
individual "jaccuse."

TRIUMPH FOR HOLY CROSS.
The College Dramatic Club
Rounds Out Its Tenth

night, the triumphs of the Holy Cross
Dramatic society reached half a score.
For the tenth time Rev. FIR C. C.

est of raw material and turned out on
the stage a company of easy, graceful
actors, agreeable to the eye and carry

such as Shakspere and Moliere, or on
the Irving type like The Bells" and

Even if Henry L. Higginson's public
appeal for 100000 in subscriptions to
help out on the construction of Bos-
toms new music hall meets with a
generous response, a mortgage Of
100000 will have to be placed on the
property, and the investors can hope
for little or no return on their money.
The desired subscriptions would raise
the cost of the plant to more than
100000. Mr.. Higginson is enough a
man Of the world to know that enter
prises of this sort cannot be perma-
nently supported without subvention
from one source or another.

OUT AND ABOUT.

The electric car is now a recognized
source of amusement for the people Of
moderate and small incomes, who make
up the mass of every city's population.
Just as soon as hot weather sets in,
people begin to ride for the fun of it,
because they want entertainment or
because they are hot and want to get
cool. Nothing is pleasanter on a dead
sultry summer evening than to get
aboard a car going to Leicester, ShreWs-
bury or Tatnuck, and skim along
through the green fields and the quiet
night, while others assume the respOn-
sibility and do the work. Or instead
of taking these longer jaunts, one can
go out to Adams square or Gates lane,
and ride back and forth, like a shuttle
in a web.
When the open car season begins, the
old, old trouble over the end seat be-
gins, too. The person who insists on
getting and keeping the end seat is
popularity known as a hog, and he is
one, sometimes, but not always. The
individual has rights, even in street

where. When the hog" happens to
be a corpulent person whose knees fill
up all the free space between the rows,
or when he-or she-has encompassed
himself about with bundles and valises
which block the way for every one else,
