This is pot necessarily true. Any hu-

US, die from o~vereating than from any

the Methodist religion which forbids

o o PLAYS AND BAD.

ssTHE PLAYS THE THING" said
1 Hamlet, and his words have been
a%ppFoVinEly repeated by many thou
sands since Shakespeare made him ut
ter them. An eastern pastor not long
since urged his congregation to attend
theatrical performances. He argued,
and justly so, that the moral play is
uplifting. that it teaches great lessons
which all may learn with profit. Clean
comedies, farces, tragedies. and even
the despised melodramas serve useful
purposes. for they portray life as It
IS OF as it should be.
But there are plays which leave a
bitter taste there are plays on the
American stage today which are in
fnitely harmful, not only to the young.
but to the middle-aged and the old
theatre-goers. a presentation of this
character was given Ia a salt Lake
play house last week. Almost from
start to finish it was a medley of vul-
garity. Now vulgarity is sometimes
permissible when It Is extremely clever.
but the play to which this reference
is made did not possess that saving
quality. The so-called situations"
were not only impossible, but they
seemed invented simply to form a
thread on which to hang bare coarse
ness.
Many young girls were in the audi
ence and many young men. They saw
a dlssoiute young rake and an old
rou held up az heroes. They saw a
pajana march, a lot Of hosiery. more
lingerie and a considerable amount of
indelieately suggestive stage bust
ness Those young people could not
have been benefited by such a per-
f0rmsnee. On the contrary. they must
have been injured by contact with so
much that was vicious. The Herald
has no dtJire to seem prudish, but
there is a limit even to stage license
and it was oVersteppsd last week.
It is most unfortunate for the drama
that such performances are permitted.
They furnish a peg on which TO hang
adverse criticisms Of everything the
atrical and they lower the profession
immeasarably. A hopeful sign. how
ever, is found in the size Of the audi
enees which see such productions. Time
was when plays Of this character drew
immense crowds. but that day is past.

SMITHS H0RRisLE ADssissrON.

IRON the opening proceedings in the
4 courtmartlel that is trying General
Jae-H H. smith in Manila it is evident
that he VIII set up a plea OF justinca-

g more cruel order than that.
Can any excase be found for it? No
charge yet made by any opponent Of
the imperial policy is 50 grave as Gen

Of the argument it may be admitted
that the average Filipino is a devil in
cafnase. Tt may be admitted that they
are all liars. m%urCerers, thieves, as
s~assins, ~seoundreIs. Does that justify

A republic that for more than 100

The autobiography of Sir Walter
besant, Just published. contains much
TO Interest the literary aspirant as well
as those who read Besantian novels.
Perhaps one-half Of the book may be
skipped over lightly: it is the latter
part OF the volume which tells Of the
literary work. Early in his career
besant was not able 10 supply the de-
mand for the papers and articles he
wrote. He tells how this came about,
as follows:
First was not dependent on lit
erature- 1 could spend time on my
work.
~seoond-I began by producing a
book on a subject on which 1 desired
TO be considered a specialist. The work
mad a success d'estime and in a sense
made my literary fortune.
lhlrd2Fhis book opened the doors
OF magazines and reviews for me.
"~Fourth-The knowledge OF French
matters also opened the doors of the
daily press to me.
Fifth followed up the line by a
second book on the same subject
For many years Sir Walter worked
with James Rice as collaboration. and
then followed eighteen years of indi-
Vidual writing. During that time he
writes. I have always been engaged
for three years in advance. 1 have
been relieved from every kind Of pc
cunlary anxiety: my income has been
multiplied By three at least. and I have
haa the oner Of a great deal more
work than I could undertake"
It would be difficult to estimate the
influence which this Englishman had
on the profession Of letters. not only in
his OWL country. but here as well. He
was the organizer Of the Authors So
ciety, n he seemed 70 believe
throughout his entire life hat publish
ers were 2 species of robbers who lived
IN ease off the labors of the men who
write. IN spite Of his continual at
tacks on publishers. he had many
warm friends among them. He was
atso a great source OF profit to the lit
erafy agent, because. in his fights
against the publishers. he advocated
the establishment of authors agencies
which should protect the interests Of
those who wrote. As a matter Of fact,

EIeHTIMe THE eIaARETTE

0NE WAY OF CURING the tobacco
y habit was tried a few days g b.
about a dozen small girls who attend a
prominent Salt Lake school. The vie
tim OF the habit and of the treatment
was a boy OF about the age Of 10 years.
AS he left the school at noon the girls
caught him in the act Of slipping a
chew OF tobacco into his mouth. hen
they set UP a chorus. ralph chews
tobacco they sang, their fresh youns
voices ringing out ike bells.
The boy started guilty through a
b ck lot. but the girls followed him

and spread ever his e~ountenance. He
pleaded with his t%ormentors 70 let him
alone, but they would not. Ralph
chews tobacco Ralph chews to-
bacco." other girls joined in the chorus.
and if ever a boys life was made mis-
cradle for a few minutes that boys
was. They followed him clear TO the
parental roof. and it is almost certain
that his mother heard the song.
Whether Ralph was cured of the filthy
habit or not The Hherald is unable TO
say. Certainly he ought to have been
cured.
The antl-cigarette league is doing ef-
fective work among the school children.
Friday afternoon a meeting was held
az the Oquirrh school. and addresses
were made ON the evils Of the cigarette.
The crusade cannot fail to have a bene-
fetal effect. Few boys appreciate the
deadly danger to their Well-being that
turks in the innocent looking roll Of
paper and tobacco. They learn to smoke
cigarettes under the impression that
smoking is an attribute Of manliness,
and without a thought of the injury IN
hicted upon the smoker.
Time and time again it has been
demonstrated that the boy who smokes
cigarettes cannot compete, either mem
tally or physically. with the boy who
does not. Cigarettes are harmful enough
to fully developed and robust athletes.
To Uniformed minds and bodies they
are the vilest form of poison that could
possibly be taken. Much good can be
accomplished by the meetings the
league is holding in the schools. But
the league cannot hope to reach all
boys.
And if it could reach them ali with
moral suasion it could not stop the
practice. A more effective method, as
The Herald has frequently pointed out,
is to punish the tobacco dealers who
sell cigarettes to boys. There is the
root of the evil. and until it is chopped
away there win be more or less cigar
cite smoking among the youngsters. An
agent should be appointed to inYesti-
gate and swear out complaints. If a
few Of the dealers are properly pun
ished the others viii soon stop breaking
this dead-letter law.
