On Wednesday, he was entertained at
luncheon in the Bradford town hall at
which the mayor presented to him an
address from his admirers.
In replying 20 the address, Sir Henry
spoke of himself as one whose life
sands were fast running out, but no
one then present had the slightest idea
that the end would come so soon. He
proceeded in his reply to eloqently adj
vocate the establishment of theatres
by the municipalities.
Because" he said Il believe that
by this means the standard of the true
drama, as distinguished from miscel
laneous entertainments, will be sue
cessfully upheld. | am sure the time
will come when you will regard the
theatre as necessary to a liberal educa-
ton and be prepared to consider any
reasonable suggestions for the extern
sion of its legitimate influence"
Sir Henry Irving's last appearance
in London was made last summer, fol-
lowing his serious illness. when the
enthusiasm at the nightly receptions
accorded him in the historic Drury

In these days of rampant official neg

hibited in our cities today TO bring
that action which is intended 10 tear
down The mighty barriers OF corrup-

intrench themselves.
Official corruption is a vital issue.
II Is a crime which Is tearing the very
heart out of the law. making justice
a laughing stock. and making munich

corruption and gall in office make the
citizens rebel against such intolerable
conditions.
Conditions may not be so bad in
Jacksonville as depicted. but if there
is possibility of such conditions even
in a moderate form existing there.
they should be probed. the officials
summariIy punished and held up as
an example TO all who violate public
trust and who use office as a sandbag
with which to slug the people and the
