AMERICAN
SCIENCE ASS n.
Many Important Speeches
Delivered-Remarks By
Henry Morris.
BY Associated Press.

Providence. r. l., Dec. 29.-At tn,
! meeting of the American politica
science convention here today inter
esting addresses were made by Prof
Edward E. Charming of Harvard
University; Prof. Everts B. Green. Of
the University of Illinois, and Henry
Morris, Of Chicago.
Mr.. Morris spoke on the subject
Some Effects Of Outlying Dependen
cies upon the People of the United
States" He said in part:
Inc administration of colonial pos
sessions has always had a strong in.
fiuence upon the nation owning them
Next to increase in population and
area, the expansion OF trade is the
most apparent result of the spread of
our influence. Statistics show that
from 1895 to 1905 our imports from
the Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii
and Cuba increased in every instance
many fold, the ratio ranging from GO
to 400 per cent; on the other hand.
the exports from this country to these
islands grew in like proportion.
A study of our commercial relations
with the various grand divisions of
the world, shows that both in Europe
and South America relative trade
losses have been sustained, while in
that with Asia there has been a con-
siderable increase. 1t certainly be-
hooves us to nurture our interests
where they are rapidly developing.
30 long as we do not take measures
to this end We are risking the loss
OF our prosperity.
The weakness Of the merchant ma
rine is deplorable. At one time we
carried 80 per cent of the exports in
our ships but now only 8. The re-
demption OF the ocean carrying trade
Is OF paramount Importance. In the
evolution Of new economic system
We are also learning that the admis-
sion OF new staple products Of the

promotes the prosperity of their pro-
ducers and fosters more friendly re-
lations with them.
In the Philippines, America is con-
fronted with serious and complex
race. Shall we annihilate the people
OF these islands or endeavor to ele-
vate them? Has not our brief ex-
perience with an inferior race Of the
east shaken our ideals? May Il not
cause a reaction in our attitude to-
ward the negro for whom our early
seems. to have cooled?
While our fleets operate on the
farther waters of the western sea-
our statesmen and diplomats confer
and debate with their contemporaries
to the east of the Atlantic.
Whether the Monroe Doctrine is
1eopsrdized by the expansion of our
Interests may be doubted. Other ma
lions interested In colonial problems
nave sufficient work near at hard
TO occupy their energies. Ii we have
barred the entry OF European states
to the American continent we have
ever demonstrated our good faith by
disavowiug any intention to extend
our own sovereignty.
There is apparently no reason why
We should abandon the stand our
fathers took. On the contrary while
the Monroe Doctrine in
Its application to Central and South
we may perhaps formulate
some analogous theory of non-inter-
vention in the affairs Of the Pacific.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The One Woman"

The storm Of critisicm aroused by
! Thomas DiXOn's novel THE One
! Woman" would seem to be a mild pro
test as compared to the avalanche OF
abuse heaped on the dramatization OF
the novel by socialists everywhere.
The play which will be presented at
the opera house on the evening of
January 3, by a specially selected cast
under the personal direction of the
author is an epoch maker in stage
realism.
Named after his great novel of the
same name the play is entirely the
work of Mr.. Dixon. He not only
made the dramatization but selected
the company, rehearsed the players,
had the scenery and costumes made
after his own sketches and finally he
is accompanying the show on it's tour
of the southern states.
The phenomenal success of Mr..
Dixon's earlier play The Clansman is
more than duplicated in this new ro-
nance of love and socialism. "The
One Woman as a play does not fol-
low the book very closely-the
changes make the characters more
human and much of the cruel realism
OF the printed page is softened and
subdued. With the lance of the sur
geon rather than the cleaver of the
butcher the author pricks the bubble
of Socialism
Instead of being a minister in the
novel the hero of the play is a col
lege professor. The opening scene is
laid in California at the time of the
Rlondike rush and the last three acts
located in Alaska.

"Parsifal," Jan, q.


When the grand spectacle of Par.
sifaT' is produced periodically In the
little city of Baireuth in Bavaria, the
invariable custom pertaining at the
Festival Theatre is to begin the pro-
duction at $50 p. m.
At the conclusion of the first half
of the play the auditors are dis
missed.
They reassemble at $50 p. m, when
they remain until the performance is
finished. During the interval the vast
audience it at liberty TO promenade in
the grounds surrounding the opera
house, or paTtake of dinner at one of
the several excellent restaurants in
the grounds.
At the commencement of the play,
as well also as at the beginning Of
the second part, three costumed trum-
peters appear in the lobby of the
theatre and sound a characteristic
blast upon their instruments that mott
fies all interested that it is time to be
seated. This unique custom was al
so carried out in like manner in New
York City at the Metropolitan Thea

by the management of the production

given in one sitting, but, so as to OBJ
viate the necessity of the play last
ing till too late an hour, the first act
begins promptly at 7:45 p. m. The
practice of giving the warning of COM
mencement with the trumpeters is,
however, adhered to. Late corners
will be obliged to remain standing
till the end of the first act, as the
auditorium makes it impossible for
the ushers to show them to their
seats.

Early Edition of Shakespeare Brought
Fancy Price.

Nearly a quarter of a century ago
John Loveday, a well-known biblio-
phile of England, announced to the
literary world that, in examining a
dark corner of his library, he found a
little brown volume hidden behind two
rows of books. He opened it, and saw
that the title of the first work In 1t
was a poem by James Gresham, print
ed in 1926. on Cenci theme. At first
he thought that the book had better
be put on the fire, but on turning over
few leaves he espied the title Of the
second poem, The Passionate Pill,
CRIME; or Certain Amorous Sonnets
Between Venus and Adonis," being the
third edition, published by William
Jaggard in 1912. There were also "The
Mirror of Martyrs" 1901; The Kings

The value of ten little volume, how.
ever, lies in the Shakespearean poem,

copy of that edition is extant-the
specimen in the Bodleian. The second
edition is apparently lost. OF the

ing been found in a garnet at Sir

many collectors have been angling for
this little volume, and now the abok

Lighthouse" Harry Lee held COM
mission in the Colonial service; the
name appears in all subsequent army
lists until the civil war, when it is
shown as Robert e. Lee, general of
the Confederacy. After that there is
a hiatus, but we find the family again
named and distinguished in the per
son of the late Consul General at
Cuba, Fitzhugh Lee, and in half doz
en- more in both services. In both
branches the name of Lee appears as
illustrating the permanency of this

Probably the direct line in the army

of the fact that, with reference to
this family, eventually, the world as

a political diatribe. So long as the

FIGHTING FAMILIES
EVEN TO THE THIRD AND FOUPTH
GENERATION IN THE ARMY AND NAVY.

Nearly all the people of the army

Their own sons are representatives
OF their distinguished sires passing
through adolescence to the same rank
and equal or higher honors. Some
times, in fact most times, they miss
II. But enough of them attain rank
md place to hold their families in
distinctive position. and we have pre-
sented to our social life two phases
Of persistently recruited aristocracy--
the army and the navy.
1t is quite reasonable that admirals
should beget captains and that gener-
ais should be the stem upon which
colonies and majors grow but In our
American service they bud perenni-
ally Not infrequently they give new
luster to the family tree, more often
they do not, and like limbs of a
great oak whose stock is established
they are only branches whose source
of existence is the splendid trunk that
holds them up
The civil war broke up many lines
that had been previously maintained
among them the Perrys, who gave two
distinguished admirals, from Rhode
tsland-Oliver Hazard Perry and his
brother, William G. Perry, who
carried our flag with honor to Japan
Each had sons who followed their dis
tinguished sires into the navy. But
the family drifted into Georgia and
the civil war broke up the line, only
to be renewed again at a later period
when two more of tnat name appear
again on the navy list-Thomas Perry
