ixe and coddle them. Unfortunately, this
liking for actors or actresses Is inspired
less by respect than by foolish fascin-
alton or sentimental hero-Worship. In
some foreign countries an actor is es-
teemed as any other professional man
and Weighed by the true loftiness of his
achievements. OF course. there will al
ways be the masculine attraction to-
ward the gay and flippant actress which
cannot be said to define any social sta
tuS.
The signs Of a coming improvement in
the social status of the profession are
several. First, the growing tendency of
a better class of business men toward
the stage as a business. Second, the
steady influx to the rank and file of the
profession of a better, more educated
and refined class Of people. Not long
ago the society man or woman who
event On the stage was the butt of con-
siderable ridicule and derision. Recent
developments have shown a large num-
her of such who have not only artistic
but popular success. To prove the much
opposed principle that in the drama, as
in other pursuits, education is invalu-
able, is a lengthy task but the fact re-
mains that a gentleman may play a
tough, but a tough cannot play gen
tleman." Most. if not all, of the oppo-
sition to the advent of educated Deo-
pie may be traced to the jealousy of
the uneducated element. Such preju-
dice has now almost disappeared, the
educated persons having by their
achievements commanded respect
When companies are owned and con-
.trolled by men who consider the be-
h xv;0 of %loN;p

ness world, a change will take place in
the social status of the player
Many actors denlore the inferior social
status of the actor in America. Let
them look into the causes. The intellec-
tual status of the actors work is often
to blame. When an artist prostitutes
his gifts to the mere getting of money
he forfeits social respect Social rec
ognition is strong help to the success
of actor, actress or-manager and when
society meets one of these who is pol
ished, refined and about whom there is
no cloud Of scandal or smirch it even
now rewards him as he deserves, and
this sentiment is bound to grow. A great
incentive to worthy effort is the social
recognition which it gains. A college
professor is welcomed in social gath
erings if he is sociable and willing to
please, but the professor Of literature or
art is more sought than the Instructor OF
gymnastics So the actor whose aims
are scholarly and lofty is and always will
be more rewarded by the esteem and well
come OF society than he who is tawdry
dissolute, coarse and loaferish dawdler.
Let the public at large but reward purity
of life and aim but generously enough,
and impurity and dawdling will be
checked considerably.

leave any impress upon its time is not

are preparing arguments which will
be made when the matter is brought
up by the court. Steck C Smith, the
attorneys for some of the alleged gam
blers, first discovered the flaw, and
they will fight the matter.
County Attorney Emery was seen
by Courier reporter this morning
concerning the affair, and said that it
came as a complete surprise to him.
He said: II have no idea who is re-
sponsible for the mistake, and do not
care to know. ] accepted the jury on
my accession to Office as perfectly le-i
gal and did my work with that thought
in mind, and am completely surprised
to find that one of the men should not
be on the jury. 1t was of course an
accident, and / have no idea that it
was done Intentionally. 1t will neces-
sarily cause much trouble, and | am
trying to find just how much. That
lis, il any of these indictments can be
set aside, want to know how many.
hardly think that, according to the
code, a defendant has the right to ask
that his indictment be set aside after
his plea has been made. The code OF
Iowa, Section 5319, says, The motion

made, before plea is entered by the
defendant According to that, it
may be that these men who have al
ready made their pleas cannot now
i have their indictments set aside. Ger
tain it is that the ones upon whom
| judgment has already been passed
cannot do SO.
However, it will affect many cases,

who is charged with committing a
criminal operation upon Fear Doud, OF
that place, and against John r. Kane

mftted perjury in his recent case
against G. e. Norton.
i The grand jury in this county is
made up of seven men, and the vote
of five of them is all that is required
to find an indictment. There is there
fore no doubt that many of t. ase in
