his genius upon this community OF

who has visited US since Booth ana

mind the long list Of players now be-
fore the public, one cannot think OF
single nhme--with the exception OF that
OF Sir Henry Irvhg-who possesses all
the qualities that go to make UP an
actor TO the extent that Mr.. Willard
does. In personal presence, magnet
ism, richness OF voice, taste in produe'

all the attributes that constitute leglu-
macy, Aside from Irving, there Is not
an actor one can think Of. who any
longer essays the role Of Hamlet-not
one whom It would not be something
of a bore to listen to, Yet We fancy
Mr.. Willard would play the Danish
prince as 1t has not been played since
lie days Of Booth, and We would travel
a long way for the pleasure of hearing
the music OF his voice In the famous
solloquy.

HIS FIRST VETO MESSAGE.
President Roosevelt Disapproves Of
Removing Charge OF Desertion.

Washington. March President
Roosevelt Tuesday sent his first veto
L essage to congress 1t was directed
10 the senate and the bill vetoed was
lIe one removing tue charge of deser-
lion from the naval record OF John
Glass. The message was as follows
There can be no grayer crime than
The crime of desertion from the army
or navy, especially during war; il is
then high treason to the nation and Is
justly punishable by death No man
should be relieved from such a crime.
especially when nearly 40 years has
passed since II occurred, save on the
clearest proof OF his real innocence.
In this case. the statement made by
the afilant does not at all points agree
with his statement made to the secre
tary OF the navy In any event II is
incomprehehsiye TO me that he should
not have made effective effort to get
back into the navy. He had served
but little more than a month when he
deserted and the war lasted for over
a year afterwards. yet he made no ef
fort whatever to get back into the war
Under such circumstances II seems to
me that TO remove the charge OF deser
tion from the navy and give him an
honorable discharge would be to fal.
sify the records and do an injustice to
his gallant and worthy comrades who
fought the war to the finish
The names of the veterans who
fought in the civil war make the honor
lists republic; and am not willing to
put upon It the name of a man i'm.
worthy OF the high position
