Hystera of the playhouse is quite modern
malady. The old-faslioned play going girl was
healthy person. who regarded the theater as a
place OF entertainment. The modern girl scorns
to be amused ut the theater. She wants to probe
as deeply as possible into fine mysteries of life:
she wants to be depressed rather than charmed
to tears; she wants, in short. to experience the
hysterical distress of the mental dyspeptic

POPE On LABOR QUESTIONS
Important Rulings of Plus K. Re-
ceived in Washington.
He Says All Society Is Not Equal
Draws Sharp Line Between
Justice and Charity.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE text of
al important instruction by Pope Plus
K. upon the relative duties of capital
lists an laborers has been received
here. 1t is not in the nature of an en-
cyclica1, and is headed with the words
"Motu Proprio," to show that utter
ances express. the pope's personal
views upon this important topic.
1t reduces the various Roman Catho-
lie teachings on the subject of proper
ty rights, and especially on the philoso-
ply of Pope Leo's encyclical on labor
to 10 precepts.
The first four lay down that society
is composed of unequal elements,
whose only equality is in their redemp-
ton by Jesus Christ and their equal in
dividual responsibility to God.
The fifth precept states that "the
right of property, the fruit of labor or
industry or of cessiol or donation by
others, is an incontrovertible natural
right, and everybody can dispose rea-
sonaLly of such property as he thinks
fit"
ioAAl llAC SlAlu W VIC ultCCuNu "a G
cept the pope draws sharp distinc-
ton between justice and charity as
they apply between employer and en-
ploye. These are summed up as fol-
lows:
THE following are obligations Of
justice binding on the proletariat and
the working man: To perform fully
and faithfully the work which has been
freely and according to equity agreed
upon; not to injure the property or
outrage the persons of masters; to alb
stain from acts of violence even in the
defense of their known rights, and
never to make mutiny of their defense.
For the capitalist the obligations
are: To pay just wages to their work
ingmen not to injure their just savings
by violence or fraud, or by overt or
covert usuries; not to expose them to
corrupting seductiOns and danger
of scandal; not to ALLEVIATE them from
the spirit of family life and from love
of economy, and not to impose upon
them labor beyond their strength OF
| unsuitable for their age or sex"
Other obligations are characterized
as charitable, and the rich are ex-
| horted to the exercise of this virtue
The instruction closes with fervent adj
| monition to Roman Catholic writers,
| when defending the cause of the pro-
letariat and the poor, not to use Ian
guage calculated to inspire aversion
| among the people for other classes OF
society. Let them refrain from speak
ing of redress and justice, when the
matter comes within the domain OF
charity only"
