Christians Needed in Politics.
A violent and vociferous Connec-
ticut evangelist declares that sit is
an abominable aud damnable lie to
aver that a man can't be politician
and Christian" He is quite
right. There is no inherent conflict
between politics and Christianity.
Politics in its wide sense is matter
of such immediate practical impor-
tance that it may be truly said that
no man can be Christian without
being a politician. The neglect of
political duties is one of the crying
evils of the time.-Philatlelphia

piernont Morgan,s Joke.

Here is an extract from a letter writ
ter from San Francisco by an Episcopal
clergyman TO a friend in this city. The
writer was a guest on the private train
that John PierpOnt Morgan provided for
use Of delegates bound for the Episcopal
convention in that city:
II had never seen Mr.. Morgan, and his
simplicity Of manner as host was a new
er-ending source Of surprise to me. Here
is an instance that made distinct i'm
preston on me. The train was held I'VE
hours in Ogden, Utah, while Bishop Pot
ter went to Salt Lake City to deliver a
sermon We dined at a hotel in the town
and returned to the train, where gen
eraI conversation was begun. One very
austere member Of the party took up a
line of acute hypothetical and learned
conversation with Mr.. Morgan, who is
noncommittaI answers or comments
VVhen. the gentleman concluded Mr. Nor
gan was silent for some time and the
members Of the party separated.
Mr. Morgan was still sitting where ne
had been from the first, and as the
others left he turned to me and said.
Doctor. I have a little verbal puzzle for
you. It is this; A little wooden man

1.-THE Actor and His Art" and pub
Hshed in London. This work Occa-
stoned a storm of disapproval from
the craft. Yet many students of the
art histrionic gave it as their opinion
that Mr.. Jones has established a strong
and logical case. Mr.. Beerbohm Tree,
among the intellectual actors Of Eng
land, promised to pen a reply to Mr..
Jones animadversiOns, but this he has
failed to do up to this time.
The name Stanley Jones is, Of course,
a pseudonym. Several well known
English journalists were accused Of
being the author of the work. but all
, of them denied the allegation. The
/ writer. when in London, heard it whis-
pered that Malcolm Watson, dramatic
writer on the Daily Telegraph, author
Of several successful plays and brother
of the designer of Sir Thomas Upton s
challenger, Shamrock II, was the real
Stanley Jones. At any rate, the author
of THE Actor and His Art" is a brill
liant penman, inclined to virulent and
incisive statement. His jibes have
served to give many important English
actors bad half hour.
But try as he will. Stanley Jones is
able to do no more than convince US
against our will" We are of the same
opinion still. In point of fact, subtle
argument to the contrary notwith-
standing, all Of the great actors of the
past or present are or have been of
fine mental qualifications We should
not then be surprised to discover that
Miss Allen has something to say re-
garding her art. which is worth read
ing, and she is able to say it in an ele-
CANT manner.
1t is incOnceivable that a dull citizen
should be metam0rphosed into a bril-
liant and cultured performer in the act
of stepping into the glare Of the foot
lights.
To act with brilliancy and fine dis
cernment requires brains. No dullard
ever was or ever can be a great actor.
tt is more, not less, brains the actor
has the better. Shakespeare was an
actor. and so was Cibber, the author
of many fine plays. and one of the
I best autobiographies in the whole range
of literature "Cibber's Apology" And
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-11-03

wherever he met it, and the tempers
and passions of those around him. BY
these means he discovered new beau
ties in his author, new ideas combined
in his head. new chords struck in his
heart. and he expressed them accord
ingly, because, while he studied the
feelings of mankind he studied the
glass in which they were reflected and
displayed. Like a painter and phllos-
opheT, he let nothing escape him. he
obtained conception and execution by
the same means by. which Michael An
cello became a great painter, by the
continued exercise Of his mind and eye
In after years, Mrs. Kean, in speaking
of her husbands early career, said:
He used to NOPE for hours, walking
miles and miles alone. with his hands
in his pockets, thinking intently on
his characters. No one could get q
word from him He studied and shaved
beyond any actor ever knew"
OF the actors of today we find, as in
the past, that fine histrionic abilities
are almost without conception coupled
with a high order of mental attain
ments. Three important cases in point
are Richard Mansfield, Henry Irving
and Joseph Jefferson. Mr.. Mansfield is
a great student, and it is admitted by
all who are favored by his acquaint-
ance that he is a man of particularly
high order of mentality. His writings
indicate as much. All theatre goers are
aware Of Sir Henry's quality Of mind,
and the same may be said in even a
larger degree of Mr.. Jefferson. Next
to "Cibber's Apology" Mr.. Jefferson's
Autobiography is one of the finest
in our language. Other actors who
have shone in literature and as dram
atists are James +. Burton, Steele
Mackaye. Charles Macklin, J. b. Buck
stone, Charles Matthews, Wilson Bar
rett, Arthur Wing PinerO and Edward
Harrington.
Other than Miss Allen there are sew
eral actresses of today who are studi-
Gus and scholarly. Mary Anderson
will be remembered for her "AutObi-
Ography," and Clara Morris promises
in the next few years to eclipse as a
writer her great fame as an actress.

Great.

Great.
New York Evening Post.)
Lord Rosebery, in a toast at the ban
quet of the Alfred miIIenary celebra-
ton, pleaded ignorance Of his subject,
but maintained that there were others
who. like himself, believed in the burnt
cakes and were ignorant of aught else
about the West-SaxOn king. In proof
of this he told the following anecdote,
for the truth of which he staked his
post-prandial honor: A young girl is
seen coming down the steps of a great
London library, and is greeted by an
other: 'Hullo, FloTry, what are you
doing here?" Florry, in disconnected
accents: Papa sent me here to find out
about King Alfred" The other girl:
What about that old Johnnie?" FlOrFy:
Papa asked US at tea last night what
was all this fuss about Alfred and his
millinery. Not one of US could tell
him, and he sent me here to find out"
The other promptly replied: You stu
pid: why, it's the drapery round his
statue, of course Lord Rosebery
found in the anecdote a certain con-
ISOLATION for those of his hearers who.
like himself, were not deeply versed in
the literary works OF King Alfred.
