pRAMATIc ART DISTINCTIONS.

The chief OF police last niAlt nou-
red the manager Of show" that the
performance would have to be discon-
tlnued. From reports We have re-
ceived, he was amply warranted. It
Is this class Of stuff. that goes under
the name OF dramatic performances,
that reflects on the stage and gives
the narrow moraIist a text for many
sermons. As a rule the managers Of
our theatres use good judgment and
taste In selecting their companies and
when others seek to attract audiences
by suggestive plays they should be
prevented.
OF course there are plays which APP
pear at our best theatres and which
are patronized by men and women Of
culture whose motive is questionable.
The modern problem play often goes
to the verge OF improperly. Around
Sappho. Iris. Camille and the Second
Mrsh Tangueray must always rage a
conflict Of opinion. There are those who
see in them an epitome Of human pas
sion. a great lesson Of life. while others
frankly admit feeling Of disgust at
their evil suggestions. That is life
just as we find it--life with it's good
md its evil intimations, and with the
Inevitable lesson of morality.
But there is another class OF plays
that are frankly indecent, and which
have as their purpose the catching Of
he coins OF those who care nothing
,or art, little for sentiment but much
Tor that which is degraded. Any per-
son OF average intelligence knows how
TO make the distinction. and our chief
OF police was enough OF dramatic
critic to make no mistake.

most grave. While there is an evident
iesire among the European nations to
preserve peace yet It appears that ne

note defining the Russia position has
been received In Toxic and is declared
to be unsatisfactory.
The Car offers to make certain i'm
portant concessions which would allow
Japan to practically control Korea, and
suggests n neutral zone between that
country and Manchurla. 1t appears
evident that the Mikado's government
Is not satisfied with concessions which
meet the present situation. but wishes
to outline and establish permanent
agreement whereby the Russian ad-
vance may be checked.
She has ever bitterly resented the
Russian control OF Manchuria. control
which was secured as result OF
Japan's victory over China. She is not
satisfied with maintaining the statu
luo. but wants things put back into
the position they assumed prior to her
war with China. When that was ended
she was not prepared to resist the de-
mands Of Russia. but for every mo-
ment since she has pondered her griev-
ances and endeavored to place herself
in a position to enforc her demands.
Consequently terms that would have
been acceptable a few years ago will
not be acceptable now. The movement
that she has anticipated for years has
