is SENTIMENT MISPLACED?

The reopening OF the Troquois thea
ter in Chicago. scheduled for October,
is not to be accomplished without a
strong protest from the Inter Ocean,
which ch9racterizes the intention as
AN offense which will not be con
doned by the people OF Chicago" and
1t adds:
1T is possible there are mines who
VIII consent to dance and sing in this
house OF death for the thoughtless,
and for those who regard the lroquois
disaster as mere Incident. But these
people are not in the majority The
reopening OF this house, sacred to the
memory of over half thousand peo-
pie, as an amusement enterprise is an
ofIense not only TO the people of Chi
cago and Cook county, hut to the peo-
pie of the United States-an affront to
civilization"
There is deep sentiment In that ex.
preston of feeling, but is it not senti-
ment misplaced, in view of the fact
that tragedies are as soon forgotten
as pleasures, and death as soon as a
wedding? The people OF Chicago did
as the people of New York did After
the lroquois disaster there was no
cessation of theatrical entertainments
until the mayor stopped them by clos
ing the houses for examination. On re-
opening there were the same throngs
of Chicago people attending and
laughing and enjoying themselves, as
the people of New York attended the
aters and took excursions within "a
hours after the Slocum disaster IL
always has been mourning on the way
to the grave and 100 often smiles on
the way home and it will always be so.
