The Smacks Left Out.

Some time ago the faculty of the
Northwestern University at Chicago
adopted a rigid censorship of the am
ateur theatrical performances inau-
gurated by the Sophomorcs. The
points of objection were the use
OF prOfane words used in holding
the mirror up to Nature" truth
fully, the loud smacks which star
tied the grave professors in perform
ing the necessary osculatory part in
love scenes (and where is the drama
that is worth tinker's damn without
them0 and the smoking of cigarettes.
The students reluctantly agreed to
cut the Objectionable features from
"What Became of Parker" the play
produced, and the faculty attended as
body to see that the rule was not
broken or ignored. The order was lit.
orally obeyed. Not smack could be
heard by the most acute ear focused
on the critical episodes in the play,
but it was noted that the kissing went
on just the same, from appearances,
and the parties took twice the time as
when loud report followed the labial
salute, doubtless from the precaution
necessary to guard the auditory nerves
Of the professors. The dudes struck
many matches but did not light the
much.prized cigarettes they carried in
the lips, while INDUCING in all the
pleasure of "dry smoke" and the
"cuss" words were spoken in the COL
lege jargon, which only the progress
sive rising generation understand.
The learned professors got their heads
together after the performance, and
while they could not affirm that q
single letter of the injunctions had
been violated, they were speeches in
expression OF q vague belief that its
spirit had been as ruthlessly shattered
as if none had been made, and they
are still engaged in the vain endeavor
to discover some means OF reconciling
Nature TO the philosophy they have
environed with rigid rules of propri-
ETY..

THE French newspapers are poking
fun at our people for the cordiality OF
their reception of Prince Henry. IT'S
well. While we admit that there 10
much that is grotesque in republic
bowling to representatives of a des.
potic government, there is an under
lying vein of good, plain common
sense in extending hearty welcome
to the chap at the other end OF the
craps-table, at which we are all play
ing a game dependent largely upon
chance. 1t does not follow that our
people relinquish their dignity in the
slightest degree by being neighborly.

The Scare is Not Yet Over.

William Jennings Bryan, Of Lincoln,
Neb., held an informal leave in the
members corridor OF the House of Rep
resentatives, at Washington, the other
day. by consulting Your old almanac
y"u Will discover that William Jennings
Bryan Is the name of a man who ran on
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ticket for the
Presidency in 1896 and 1900. 1t will
please many 10 learn that he is still able
to be about.-Oiy'S Patent Paragraphs.
II is really amusing 10 witness the
futile attempts of the Bread.and- But
ter brigade to ignore Mr. Bryan.
The foolish bird which hides its head
in the sand, and thinks it blinds pur-
suit, is fair illustration of such nom
sense. That Mr.. Bryan is able to
command the respect shown him
everywhere, as is admitted by such
informal" leave takings as noted
above. shows that he is head and
shoulders above the leading men who
now cluster around the flesh pots and
clamOr LOT q part tncrc0f.
Probably 10 man in the United
States more thoroughly represents
what is known as the common people,
the bone and sinew of the common
wealth, than Mr.. Bryan, and defeat
under the combined influence of spoils
organization and the unlimited use of
money to corrupt the ballot, does not
in the least detract from that pres
tige. That he is as honest as Lincoln,
and as courageous as Jackson, is shown
by every act OF his life.
While he may not be the nominee
third time for the Presidency, it will
be matter OF availability, considered
solely by the Democratic party, that
will substitute some other of the many
able men to make the race in 1904,
and not tho whelps that are barking
at the heels OF Mr.. Bryan.
They might as we'll realize now,
that the ghost of a chance Gf SO they
consider iD of Mr.. Bryan's renomina-
ton, will not down at their bidding,
and the best indication that lie is
feared is shown by the efforts to BELT.
tie him in the eyes of the people.
The scare that he gave the z. o. p. in
1896 will never be obliterated from the
the memory of the youngest Republi.
can voter who polled his vote in that
mOmentOus contest.

OCCASIONALLY President Teddy does
q thing which deserves commenda-
ton. His veto of two bills to give an
honorable discharge to men who were
bounced from the army q couple of
decades ago, is an instance in point,
but it is not certain that Congress will
not pass the bills over his veto, as it
did the bill vetoed by Cleveland grant
ing \ pension to photographer, who,
the evidence showed, never performed
q deed of valor on the battlefield
other than shooting the enemy with
his camera. He had the party "pull,"
however, and even the President did
not have sufficient power to release it
from the public teat.

Miles made specific request of the
War Department last week, to be sent

mitted plan by which, in his opin-
ion, the war might be brought to an
end, without unnecessary loss of life or
time. The methods suggested were
similar to those used by him in his
successful Indian campaigns. The
President and Secretary Root very
promptly rejected the Generals prof.
fer, claiming that the war is officially
closed-just as it has been a score Of
times the past two years-but that is
