Whether or not art should concern itself
with moral degradation is a question which
Will doubtless be discussed for many years
to come, with many wise and good people
on both sides of the argument. Indianapolis
is being asked TO consider Iris for the
first time-a play that usually revives this
old argument in whatever locality it is pre-
sented-and the chances are that Indianap-
oils will fall in line and talk over the drama,
its story, its purpose and everything con-
nected with Il, just as many other cities
have done. This work of the famous Eng
lish playwright, Arthur Wing Pinero, was
enacted at EngIish's last night, before a
large and interested audience, by Virginia
Harmed and a fine supporting company, and
its Interpretation will be repeated tonight.
Iris was seen in all of the larger cities
last season, and was written about and
talked about TO such an extent that, while
new TO indianapolis, IL seems almost If
an old story were being warmed over at
present.
Purists have attacked the drama time and
time again; scholars. alive only to the
every subject with which he deals, have
enthused over the brilliancy of this plays
lines, over Its unusual value polished
piece or literature, and over its faultlesS

of words concerning everything pertaining

OF this palaver amounted TO? The theater-
going public continues TO go 10 see the play
presented. and TO draw its own conclusions

immensely successful. and II will probably
continue TO be immensely successful so long
as it Is intelligently acted.

OF one thing there can be no doubt-the
sincerity of purpose of Mr.. Pinero. In the
French comedy seen at Englshs a week
ago play-goers experienced taste of i'm
morality for immorality's sake as prepared
by dramatist whose primary purpose was
to shock his auditors. Finero's so-caIled
daring Is not his personal expression SO

feeling of his characters. He fmagines MS
characters and their idiosyncrasies. and
makes them create their own story. Moth
Ing is held back in the unfolding of the
pitiful story of Iris Bellamy-a story OF
moral degradation. And this is what has
caused all of the argument over the play.
Because of the hopelessness of arriving at
a conclusion as to whether art and morality
should be allowed TO go hand in hand, II
would seem fitting to put the matter aside
and consider Iris" merely play.

Tho Rines Hill Crossing.

There is a very general feeling in the
community that something should be
done to do away with the grade cross
ing at the foot Of Rines hill. This is
practically the only outlet from
Water street for loaded teams, the
other hills being SO steep that they
are little used for purposes Of traffic.
In their report upon the Rines hill ac-
cident last winter the railroad commits
sioners expressed the opinion that this
Il the most dangerous grade crossing
in Maine Surely 1t will be a mistaken
policy to let this danger go unremedied
until its magnitude is measured in
human life. AS 1t stands today 1t Is a
menace to the public safety. 1t would
seem az IL there should be some fair
basis of cooperation upon which the
Maine Central, the electric road and
the city may unite to do away with
this grade crossing. 1t Is matter
that is causing much comment among
our citizens, and the problem it pre-
sents is one that, sooner or later, must
be met, and permanently solved. 1t
would certainly seem as if the sooner
this were done the better it would be
for all concerned.
