I.onis James. the eminent actor made
a most significant statement recent
w when asked if ne was opposed TO
theatrical performances on the Sab
bath. said: certainly I am opposed
to theatrical performances on the
sabbath, not so much from theolo-
gical standpoint, as from the broad
rlatform of humanitarianism."
! ..Why exact from the professional
what you do not demand from the me-
chanic, and strange to say the very
men VINO are the greatest advocates
for an eight hour day and six day
week are the best patrons we have
for a seven days theater."
But as we actors are but the SER
wants of the public. if they demand
theatrical recreation on the Sabbath,
by all means give them their desire,
but do SO with discretion. What 1 mean
by that is, give them dramatic per-
formances that will appeal to their
higher senses-something to make
them better citizens, truer husbands,
nobler men.
There are many, many plays before
the public today that preach strong

sive chord in the hearts Of the audi

MIR. HUGHES STANDING.

Harper's Weekly takes very slowly
to the nomination of Mr.. Hughes for
governor of New York 1t says it re-
mains yet to be demonstrated whether
Mr. Hughes aptness as a cross exam
liner carries with it ability as an adj
ministrator. Recorder Golf, who made
an immense reputation as the brow
beater of policemen in the Lexow in
vestigation, is, in it's opinion a con-
spicuous exampe of a good crOss-ex-
aminer who failed to develop in other
lines.
Admitting that it was Mr.. Hughes
skill in cross-extmination which at
tracted public attention to him, and
that it was the record he made in the
conduct Of the case against the insur-
ance companies which caused his
nomination, it does not follow that he
is being rewarded merely for sharp
conduct as a lawyer. There was some
thing more conspicuous in Mr.. Hughes
conduct of the case for the public than
the fact that he wrung the truth from
unwilling witnesses. There are other
lawyers who could have done that.
What attracted attention to Mr..
Hughes was the fact that he appeared
to look at the matter from a broad
er standpoint than that of a lawyer
bent upon winning a case. He saw
and expressed the belief that he was
trying the cause of the whole world
against sordid system. He had SYM
pathy with the people who have put
their savings into life insurance, and
he wanted as much to save the insti-
tuition as to punish those who had
abused It.

ence than ever could be reached from
the pulpit; and yet after all, when
we sum up the entire situation, the
Sabbath day observance is purely a
matter of geographical location. The
Greeks observe Monday as their Sab
bath, the Persians Tuesday, the As
syrians Wednesday, the Egyptians
Thursday, the Turks, Friday, the Jews
Saturday and the Christians Sunday.
Thus you note, if we were to give due
observance to each of these nation

of the political organs, has sought 70

The climax to the battle came last

Now that the good work has been

suggest that the fairminded council

committee of the whole when it takes
up the investigation next Monday
night. The time for secrecy is past

The political and official mistake
made by Mayor Kellough in dropping
the big stick was thoroughly de-
monstrated by Councilman Bridges
who picked it up and made good use
of it last night. The mayor had the
earliest and best opportunity to un-
cover the scandal, but he ran to cover
the instant the councilmen responsible
put up their bluff.
