is likely to appeal to Shakespeare's
countrymen generally. And / venture
to think that the true solution of the
problem is the obvious one-namely,
the establishment, under the auspices
of the London city council, of great
central theater which shall be dedicated
to the production of Shakespeare's
plays, and which shall stand, in one
ton to Great Britain as the Theater of
Dionysus, where the tragedies of
Aeschylus were regarded as stock
pieces. stood to ancient Hellas. Why
should not Mr.. Hamilton Fyfe's sug-
gestion that the Lyceum should be re-
purchased and redeemed from its pres
ent conditions be adopted? There is
no doubt that If Mr.. Beerbohm Tree,
who has labored as much as any single
man could possibly do to make the
stage factor in popular culture, and
TO keep Shakespearean drama alive; if
Mr.. Pinero and others of our leading
actors and playwrights would give their
support to such a scheme, the money
necessary for its realization would very
easily and very speedily be raised.
The restoration of the Lyceum to
the position it held in its palmy days,
and its association with such scheme
as this, could not fail to appeal to pub
lie sentiment, for what man or woman
in England with any preteption to Gull
ture can contemplate with patience the
fate which has befallen it? Certainly
no more convenient site and center for
such an institution as / have suggested

POLICY OF FOLDED
ARMS DOESN'T SUIT

Special Foreign Service
LONDON. April 1.-Outlining some
points of the liberal programme this
week Mr.. Asquith said:
ut is the greatest delusion to i'm
agine that the liberal policy consists
only of negation and defense. We are
not satisfied with a policy of folded
arms. We want to deal with live Ques-
tons as they arise.
THE education act of 1902 cannot be
regarded as a settlement. There can
be no final settlement of this ques-
ton which does not give to the people
absolute, undisputed and unequivocal
control of every school which is
maintained at the public expense, and
system of any form of religious or de-
nominational test for teachers.
1.-THE licensing act must be revised.
There must be a time limit. Liberals
must exert themselves to secure from
the trade an adequate contribution to
the state in return for the privileges
which the state has conferred upon il.
Then, too, the relation of land tax
alton, the housing of the working
classes, and the proper way of dealing
with locomotion must all be considered.
1.-The dominant vice of the present
government is its lack of political
straightforwardness. Witness their
attitude on the fiscal question. The
only safe position for an elector at the
general elections is to remember that
every vote recorded for a supporter of
the present government is a vote
against free trade"

FEELS: ANXIOUS REGARDING
MILITARY HORSES
Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, April 1--we view with
anxiety the coming of the motor ON
nibus, and the consequent curtailment
of the supply of good, serviceable
horses for military purposes said the
earl of Mimic this week, quoting from
a letter he had received from the war
office on the subject of the falling sup
ply of horses for civil and military
use.
Lord Mimic presided at a meeting
convened at Bridgewater house, the
earl Of Ellesmere's residence, to consid-
er this question.
THE annual peace requirements of
the war office amount TO $500 horses IS
said Lord Mimic. "all of which are pro-
durable in the united kingdom: but in
case of sudden mobilization for war
purposes about 102,000 would be need
ed. These would be difficult to find. l
am glad to see that the demoraliZing
means of locomotion which have so
much come to the front during my alb
sence have not caused interest in horses
to suffer as much as might have been
expected. This is a national question
A resolution was passed advocating
the better organization of horse breed
ing, and a permanent committee, COM
posed of Mr.. Henry Chaplin, the earl of
Rothes, Lord Gresham and Capt. Pyers,
was selected to inquire into the matter.

chefs,'in the kitchen of the Arachne

trained to become professional serv-
ants.
81 have given eleven lady cooks a
fair trial during the last twelve months,
and the result has been a failure" ad-
mitted Miss Agatha Henslow, the sec
rotary, this week. "They were trained
at various efficient schools of cookery
They had certificates and diplomas
They understood the theory of cooking.
They could prepare clever treatises on
its chemical aspect. They were au-
thorities on hygienic cookery. But
when they came to cook a complete

was a hopeless failure. Each was a
specialist in her way. One made good
soup, another excellent entrees, but not
one realized the simple fact that a
complete dinner cooked to time is es-
sential in a we'll ordered household
Miss Henslow thinks the failure of
the lady cook IS due to the system of
training in the cookery schools, where
the students do not undertake the re-
sponsibility of cooking a whole dinner
and are taught to escape kitchen
drudgery. The best of the students be-
come teachers of cookery themselves,

JUVENILE COURTS SOLVE THE

boys in Denver had a taste of Jail life
during his formative period between 10
and 16.
No Criminal Charge
Ten acts in all have been passed by
the Colorado legislature in order to
establish on firm legal foundation
this work of aiding the children OF the
state. The first defined delinquent
children, and provides that any child
committing any of the offenses men
toned in the act shall be considered
juvenile delinquent. A probation of
ncer brings him into court, but the act
specifically states that a disposition
of any child under this act, or any
evidence given in such cause, shall not
in any civil, criminal or other cause
or proceeding whatever in any court
be lawful or proper evidence against
the child for any purpose whatever,
except in subsequent cases against the
child under the act. He is not thus
stamped with a criminal charge in the
very beginning of his life. The next
important act was one which holds
parents or other guardians RESPONSE
bic for the moral delinquency of chill
dren; another holds fathers legally re-
sponsible for the physical support, care
and maintenance of children; still an
other is compulsory education law.
This latter law Is the result of the CO.
operation or the teachers association
and the juvenile court of Denver. 1t
makes the common grammar school
education compulsory as far as posi-
bic for all children between and 16
years of age in some public, private
or parochial school, and it applies to
the whole state, not particular dis
tricts. A child must attend school
during the entire school year and not
for limited periods. as in the school
laws of many other states. There are
sensible exceptions to this, but none of
them weaken the effect of the law ac-
cording to the opinion of those inter
ested in its enforcement. Another act

employment of children under IA years.
of age, and it restricts the employment
of those between the ages of IA and 16,
but the law vests a discretionary

ment of the merchant marine, and
to this end Mr.. Gerald Balfour has in
troduced a bill into parliament. 1t pro-
vides for certified cooks being carried
by every British foreign going ship of
1000 tons and upwards. A cook shall
not be considered certified" unless he
is passed as competent in cooking by
the board of trade or by some school
of cookery or other institution approved
by the board. AS an alternative he
must hold certificates of discharge
showing at least two years service
as cook. Moreover, the cook must be
able to prove six months service at
sea in any capacity, and shall be rated
in the ships articles as ship cook or
steward. This proviso is for the pro-
lection of doctors who are seameD
first and cooks afterwards. Otherwise
landlubbers of the most Objectionable
type might find their way into the
merchant service solely on their ability
to make buildings and broil mutton
chops.
Although the new act will not be eff
fective until Dec. 81, 1907. it is already
unpopular with merchant shippers.

FEEL SOME GRATITUDE
TO Mr.. WYNDHAM

Special Foreign Service
DUBLIN, April 1.-Mr. Wyndham's
resignation has not surprised Irish
Unionists. They felt, in spite of recent
official dementia, that it was the only
way out of an intolerable situation, and
that 1t was bound to come. Person
ally Mr.. Wyndham made many warm
friends in Ireland, and by them the
causes and the manner OF his resigna-
ton are much regretted, more especial
ly as the trouble of i'll health now
seems to be added to the political
troubles of the late chief secretary; but
all Irish unioDists, friends and enc
mics alike, agree entirely with Mr..
Wyndham's own view that recent
events have greatly impaired, if not
wholly destroyed, the value of the work
which he had to do in the office that he
has so long held
After the devolution disclosures he
could not have hoped to recover the
confidence which his carelessness or
weakness has destroyed. Unionist Ire
land is not ungrateful to Mr.. Wynd-
ham; it recognizes his genuine inter-
est in the prosperity of the country,
and 1t owes to him great land act
which will be in the long run a perma-
nent benefit to the country; but the
error into which his sanguine tenn
permanent betrayed him was fatal to
his position as a working head of a
unionist government in Ireland. If he
had remained at Dublin castle Irish
unionists would not have taken the
fafntest interest in the outcome of the
next general election. What they are
still willing to recognize as nothing
worse than great blunder would then
have revealed itself to them as a great
betrayal. Mr.. Wyndham had to go, but
they are sorry that he did not choose
an occasion of resigning at time when
he still held the reputation of a sue
cessful Irish administrator.

POSTAL ENTRAVAGANCE.
Huge Leaks in the system Demand

ChicaEo ChrOnICle.


Amy business man can see. without any
comparisons, that our postal system is
extravagant and that it is made an I'M
necessary burden to the national treasury
but this is rendered glaringly obvious by
the recent reports of the British postofice
which not only in Its economy but 1t its
general merit almost overshadows our own
Americans, as a rule, are proud of their
postoffice department, but there Is not
much cause for pride in the fact that this
department IL run at loss of Si.OOOOOO
year, while the British postofiice Is run
at a profit of $2j,00O0I0 year. The standing
excuse for this disparity is that the dis
tances are so much greater in this country
than in Great Britain, but as the British
malls go TO all the British colonies--and
that means all around the globe-this ex-
cuse does not seem to be worth much.
1t is especially weak in view OF the fact
that our enormous deficit is easily ac-
counted for in other ways. One cause of 1t
is our Chinese system OF fixing the railroad
rates for hauling the malls. and the other
Is the infTactions OF the second-rate postal
regulations by which the department is
systematically exploited for advertising
purposes. II the loss from these two
sources could be stopped our postoiIice de

PARCELS POST PROGRESS.
a Public Necessity Speeding Toward
Realization.

Boston Transcript.
There is a forward movement toward the
ideal Of a complete domestic parcel post
service indicated in the report of Postmas-
ter General George Cortelyou, in his ear
nest recommendation that third and fourth
class mail matter be merged at the rate OF
! cent for two ounces" Al present fourth
class matter, merchandise. unsealed is
taxed cent per ounce and third-class mat
ter printed matter, etc, unsealed l cent
for each two ounces. The proposed new
arrangement would permit all merchandise
parcels not exceeding four pounds in weight
to be carried at one-half the rate now
charged, to a multitude of places not
reached by express companies and at a
charge sufficient to reimburse the govern
ment for actual cost of carriage
1t is interesting to note that Postmaster
General Cortelyou, while discouraging for
tho present any attempt to institute a gen.
cral parcel post service for the country.
bases his objections on the fear Of a high
rate Of postage or a temporary deficit,
which in his view would be occasoned by
the governments competition with the or
ganized express companies, who would get
all the short distance parcels because zone
rates could be lower than long distance
rates, and thus burdening the mails with
the more costly service of the long distance
business, involving a loss greater than the
increase of revenue.
Apropos of his recommendation for merg-
ing third and fourth-class matter is the
postmaster generals suggestion that a sim
pier classification be made of all mail mat
ter into three classes: First. letters: sec
ond. printed matter. and third, merchan-
disc,
