slant chorus of praise from all the New
York critics. Miss Robson's perform
ance was generally voted the best Juliet
that had been seen on metropolitan
stage since Adelaide Nelson made her
long run in the classic at the Fourteenth
Street Theater.
Miss Robson's dramatic talents are

Miss Robson made her first profess
sional appearance at the California
Theater, San Francisco, with the Fraw-
ley Stock Company, September 10, 1891.
She essayed upon that occasion the role
of Margery Knox in Men and Wo-
Imen." Soon afterward she joined the
Salisbury Stock Company at the David
son Theater. Milwaukee. where she
played for year dninterruptedly. In
the summer or ~ she was mem Der OF
the stock company at Elitch's Garden,
in Denver, Colorado. and Immediately
after her engagement there she Joined
the Arizona" company at the Grand
Opera House, Chicago. In the course
of her stock company experience Miss
Robson was splendidly schooled in the
popular dramas of the day, and by
playing many parts she found the true
direction of her talents. Her best sue
cesses were made in sympathetic roles.
Among the characters which she imper-
sonated most worthily were Sue, in the
play of that name; Carey. in Ala

He took imperialism for his theme and
in the course Of his remarks thus
presented his views on our colonial
policy:
AT the same instant of time
Spanish tyranny was intolerable In
two hemispheres. Against it Cubans
were IN armed revolt at our very
doors. Against 1t FilipinOs were IN
armed revolt half way round the
world. Each sought national indie
pendence, and we knew it. Fellow
citizens, when the inquisitiOn of after
ages shall srraign us at the bar OF
history, who shall answer the ques-
tions: Why was war fol the freedom
of one people changed into war for
the suhjugation of another people
y GU accepted the services of the Fill
plnos in conquerIng the Spanish; you
gave them arms and ammunition; you
put them In your trenches; you let
them fight for you, bleed for you, die
for you; you know they thought your
object to De the independence OF the
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS; why, when the fleet
of your common enemy was SUNK deep
in Manila bay. diu you turn your guns
on your allies and substitute your own
for Spanish rule when they were equal
ly opposed to bothf
why did you denOunce as traitors
millions of people not born under your
Jurisdiction and who had rever vowed
you allegiance. How can the descend
ants of the American revolution pur-
chase the bodies, the country and the
allegiance of ten millions of unwilling
people for twenty millions Of dollarsf
il you had already got them by right
of conquest, why did you pay twenty
millions of dollars for themr Why
did you not treat the Fillplnos as you
treated the Cubansr
"Ah, Americans, these questions
cannot be answered consistently with
out national character and honor. We
must not, indeed. leave them to be
asked by future generations. We must
set ourselves right while yet there Is
time. We who have done the wrong
must repair it. We must not substi'
tute for the old American IDEAS the
taw1ry and barbaric standards OF the
outworn civilizations. We must not
barter the moral leadership OF man
kind and the sponsorship OF human
freedom for an ignoble precedence in

Referring to an expression made
upon his death bed py Pope Leo the
Nashville American says: The great
intellectual and spiritual head OF
great church, lying in the shadow OF
death, teaches to those who need 1t
lesson and administers rebuke IN the
words, science does not demand at
what altar you worship. 1t was
intended, says the American. as q
rebuke to some objection raised to
some of the doctors because of their
atheism. Because "sclence does not
demand at what altar you worship,
is no good reason why religion should
not demand what God you serve. An
atheist doctor has no business at the
death bed of christian, and the OBJ
jectors were more nearly right than the
Pope.

Davidson county is after new court
house. A proposition was recently
made by party of capitalists to build
an lmme ase sky scraper office building,
mart of which would be constructed
for use as a court house, and in return
for the use OF which the county would
grant a perpetual lease for 100 years OF
ths building. The Nashville American
Is against such proposition, and the
American Is right. A county court
house should be court house and
nothing but a court house. 1t should
not be business house, by any means
Says the American
.'Daoiuson County needs a larger
court house--this seems to be generally
admitted-but the county should pro-
vide the ways and means for Its cree
ton and should resolve in the begin
ing that the structure should Do for
county purposes only. There should
be- no offices for rent In the building
Let private capital construct office
buildings. By no means should the
county enter into competition with Its
citizens. Our City Hall should never
have been constructed for other than
city purposes. It was mistake to
provide restaurant and market room in
the building. To permit their exis-
tence in y city building of such charac-
ter Is a lowering of the dignity OF the
city. Public buildings should be for
public purposes.
