THE HAMLET IMPERsONATION
A we'll filled and appreciative house

noon in his Shakespearean lecture and
impersonation of Hamlet. The play OF
Hamlet is the longest of Shakespeare
plays, and it is perhaps his greatest
There has been more written about
Hamlet than about any other play in the
world; and the character of this noble
prince. who is called upon to assert
moral order in a world of moral con-
fusion and obscurity, is most difficult tc
understand. He did not disappoint
his auditors. While he did not attempt
to give in full the argument of the play
which is very long story, he held close
ly to the Interpretation of the thought
character and moods of mind through
which Hamlet passes, until he meets
death in the fulfilnent of. the purpose
towards which he has not marched OF
fastened, but simply drifted. Mr.. Young
has the charm and freshness of that hal
cyon period of life-youth-ar1d its in
spiration and hope. He was most at
tractive in his rendition of character, and
sketch of plot and incidents.

THE SPROUTING OF CRIME

text for homilies is found by some northern news
papers In recent murder case The perpetrators of
the crime alluded to five young men all belong
Ing to respectable families who have grown up in
community that ranks among the most moral in the
state" And now the sad reflection that "if PARENTS
had kept their boys at home the police had broken
- their nightly larking, several respectable families
grace and the lads in the county Jail would not be fear
ing the gaows for committing an atrocious crime"
No doubt the gregarous nature of boys leading TO
the formation of groups gangs" is largely account
able for early steps in crime. In all such groups there
are individuals who farther advanced than the
average in bad habits and in such company the beter
element in boyhood is apt to succumb readily TO tbe
baser kind Bad company surely is runous in its effect
upon the plastic mind OF youth.
The group or gang stage of boys evolution is not
the point however. at which the work of reformation
should begin. At that stage the twig has grown 10
such extent that it is easily bent The effort
at reform should begin when it is mere sprout easily
shaped in such manner to insure ultimately sym
metricaly shaped tree for 1t is then that "st as the
twig is bent the trees inclined"
1t is within the home circle, long before the "gang'
tendency is apt to develop that the character of how
should be shaped The time to begin such shaping IS
In the period of infancy when the young mind is most
plastic AS soon child is old enough be observant
1t develops liking for pictures The first impression
upon its mind counts for something, and when the
time comes for first efforts at reading the character of
the matter within the youngsters counts for still
more.
Yellow newspapers and books of improper or SEN
satonal character ht the mind of a boy for the stage
when the gang is alluring him Keep from his sight
the perncious literature that makes immortality and
crime attractive and he win curb the inclination
for evil association and its baneful influence.

SAN ERANcISco.s PLIGHr

The coming municipal election in San Francisco is
attracting attention in all tho big eastern cities The
particular interest It results from the fact that San
Francisco has been experimenting for nearly four years
With a so-caled Tabor" administration.
Mayor Schmltz who obscure orchestra leader
at the time of his first election four years ago. made
grand entry into the executive office the tune OF
labor reform But in the two years of his first he
only proved his usefulness to designing leaders and It
was to that fact that he owed a reelection.
Mayor schmitz was elected as a Labor Union cand.
date and he still is osensibly representative Of that
organization What he has accomplished in the way of
redeemng his promises of reform is estimated correctly
by long distance observer the Washington Post,
able, candid and independent newspaper Here is San
Francisco as depicted under the Schmitz admnistra-
ton by it:
Philadelphia and Chicago in their rottenest days
beds of compared with san Francisco The police
ematcay reorganzed into machines for yielding
TO those Every saloon in the ctyand IL is flied
with hempad blacbma Disordery houses were not only
levied upon but houses actually established for
purposes Every apponve officer in the cy gov
centage of his salary to higher up The
msmanaed and neglected. The ballot boxes stuffed
in by henchmon of the bosses and several
OF them were sent prison The mayor placed his own
relatives In office without charges Of
grating were constantly made agant them.
The recent primary election in which the Schmiz
boss was beaten is regarded hopefully by eastern oh,
servers, as It is by the decent element in San Fran
cisco 1t is assumed that the defeat Abe Ruef in the
primaries insures the defeat of schmitz at the polls
But San Francisco is thoroughly soaked in poiti
cal corruption that dependence can be placed upon
primary election signs. The upheava municipal af
fairs in Philadelphia inspires hope that Francisco
is amenabe to salvation, but prudent person would
wager much wealth the outcome.

The Peculiar Walter

Richard Johnson, the famous Scot
tish checker player, was praising
America.
II will even praise" said Mr.. Jordan,
"the independence of the American
waiter. In Europe the waiter is obse-
quious. not out of any real respect for
you, but because, without his hypo-
critical humility, he would starve to
death. Here in America there is no
need for any strong man to starve to
death, and the waiter need not be an
obsequious and fawning hypocrite"
Mr.. Jordan smiled.
IT meet the most peculiar WATERS"
he said. 1.-THE other day said to one:
Waiter, is this pork chop or a NUT
ton chop?'
Can't you tell by the taste? the
waiter asked.
NO. l answered.
We'll, then, said the waiter what
difference does 1t make which 1t is?'"
