EDITORIAL OPINION
Beck arIi Bryan.

From the New York Tribune.
We are glad that Mr.. Beck made his
eloquent plea for free labor and indi-
vidual liberty against the labor dig
archy which viii not let even the dead
be buried without the union label. We
have frequently spoken of the tyranny
of the boycott and the closed shop.
which ought TO be utterly uncomfortable
to free, self-respecting American citi-
zens. We are glad. too. that Mr.. Bryan
spoke of the corresponding tyranny OF
the great corporations that plunder
the people, corrupt the citizenship and
defy the laws Of the land. We have
also frequently dwelt upon the danger
Gus abuses Of power by men who use
corporate privileges and public fran
chises bestowed upon them to achieve
ends contrary to public policy. and de-
structive of the equal rights of citi-
zens In the conduct of business. We
are especially glad that Mr.. Bryan so
forcibly pictured this phase of the evil
TO New York audience which is prob
ably more accustomed to consider Sc
riously the abuses of labor unions than
the abuses OF trusts. IL is especially
worth while for such an audience to
hear this, for the abuses OF trusts do
more to make honest wage earners toll
Grant Of the abuses OF labor unions
than all the walking delegates and
demagogues under heaven.
1t would be well likewise IL those
who focus their attention so exclusive
ly on the abuses OF trusts could hear
with their spiritual ears the truths
which Mr. Beck declared. If each
could listen to the other side with open
mind. thousands who are now bound
by prejudices of occupation and condi-
tion might be brought to cooperate
for the preservation of true, historic
American liberty. That liberty de-
pends on the enforcement of law
against both the lawbreaking labor
union and the lawbreaking corpora
tion as President Roosevelt has been
seeking to enforce it; on the one side
refusing to tolerate the invasion by a
union of the equal rights Of citizens to
earn a living; on the other asking the
courts to pass upon the legality of
questionable acts of great corpora
tions

A Utica judge stcrnly reprimanded
citizen the other day FOR snoring in
church. He took the right course;
there are men who instead OF sleeping
peacefully during the discourse must
disturb the peace by their nasal in
donations. Then too, in the warmer
seasons there are those who amid
their slumbers slap at the flies that
are wont TO gather in the spot where
the hair used to grow. All Of which is
unseemly. and church attendants

WEAKNESS AND roLsaArIoN.

We have been hearing the charge
for some time that there is a shortage
In the coal supposed to have been de-
livered to one Of the public schools
we have given little heed to it, setting
{ down as an error on the part Of
somebody; but it is an error that
should not have occurred. When per-
sons are acting for the public they
should exercise extraordinary care, In
order that their integrity may not be
brought into question We think II is
generally accepted that the schools
have gotten every pound of coal for
which the city has paid. but we ought
to know.
One member OF the Board of Educa-
ton last night with some heat de-
clared that he was tired OF these
criticisms. but that doesn't affect the
merits Of the case. There are a great
many things in life that make us
weary, and we have more to fear from
liberation than from criticism. Toiera-
lion has been responsible for most OF
our public abuses. federation has
made machines to thwart the win of
The people and TO stine public con-
science. federation has almost sent q
man to the United States Senate who
ought to be sent 10 another place. DR.
Frantz should not get tired so easily.

The Husband,s Renrinue.

From the New York World
AT last the reason for the American
husband is properly appreciated. Mrs.
Bigelow, OF the Social Economics club.
OF Chicago, has conceded it in the
happy phrase: Feed the brute with
Well-cooked food, and forgive him."
This suggestion marks a very for
tunate reaction from the short-sighted
prejudice which was becoming wide
spread among the women of the land
against the American husband. The
development of this prejudice was slow
out sure. Antiquarians assure us that
IN an antediluvian epoch the husband
was regarded with favor-nay even
with affection. He was allowed the
free run of the cave and frequently
enjoyed humane treatment. This
theory should, however. be accepted
guardedly, as it is based almost wholly
on fossil remains.
Certain it is that at the dawn of
recorded history we find the American
husband tolerated as an unpleasant
but apparently inevitable nuisance. He
was survival of the era OF the icthv-
osaurus and tho dinosaur, and II was
generally contended that he should
have become extinct with them. How
ever he was still treated with patience.
But OF late the feeling has grown very
marked that he is no longer even an
indispensable nuisance, but on the con-
trafy a dispensabie superfluity Plans
We're formulated for his abolition.
Ihis was brilliantly audacious but
slightly premature. 1t Ii said indeed.
that posterity regarded it as distinct
ly inconsiderate.
So too much praise cannot be be-
slowed on this new school which con-
templates the retention of the husband.

THEATRICAL NOTES.

Richard Mansfield has done nothing
finer more convincing. in recent years
than his "Old Heidelberg 1t was
revelation IN art, ana a triumph
Old Heidelberg. with its university
aavor; its student songs. It's revels. its
tragedy, was before the eye Of the spec
tator. And the timd dwarfed, prince who
had never walked the streets alone, who
had been encased in court ceremony as in
armor-the youth who wanted life, found
il among the roliicking students OF the
ancient university.
There Is an infinite pathos IN the selec-
ton; the theme is old; here is a human
being who wants to be happy but is pre-
vented by the circumstances of his birth.
He is the creature OF his environment
and can no more break through 1t than
the penniless peasant. For four months
he tastes the joys Of emancipation At
theu niversity under the eye Of his old
tutor, he sees life. meets his fellows on an
equal p.ane-and falls in love with Katie,
the simple warm-hearted SIM Of the peo-
pie Titles and distinctions are forgotten;
he and Katie love each other just as the
birds mate, with no thought of the NOR
row. tLutIayw
Their comes the summons to return to
Harrisburg 10 take up the cares Of State,
Tor princes. too. must obey Now comes
the life Of a solitary man. set apart from
his fellows hedged IN by the ceremonies
and traditions Of his station, the inevitable
engagement TO princess; no more youth,
life-no more Heidelberg
No; he viii return. if only for an hour,
and he does. But oh, # IS not the Heidei-
berg of old. All Is changed but Katie.
The students are decorous and full Of
ceremony at greeting the reigning prince;
me folliclSing songs are hushed. but
Katie is unchanged. She has not forgot
ten the boy she loved. and her heart has
no place for the distinctions of birth and
rank The parting scene brings the in
leviable renunciation-the irony Of fate.
Mr.. Mansfield in this is seen at his best.
The timid, difddent, Gagged prince is per-
lection and few bits of acting are more
convincing or deeper in pathos than that
wherein, pressed by his companions. he
blushingly and confusedly reveals his
name and station. with fear tugging at
mis- heart lest the revelation should sep
arate him from the boisterous students
who are enjoying life.
Few who appreciate the finer phases Of
dramatic art will forget this pay, with its
,olorng. its flavor; they will remember
the lovable Carl Heinrich while forgetting
Brutus and King Henry. They will think
Of Old Heidelberg, Doctor Juttner and
Katie in preference to Mr.. Hyde.
