democratic convention will adopt a
plap5 providing for. the re-enactment
of the test oath for the purpose OF dis
franchising Mormons and for the en-
termination OF polygaluy and unlawful

against the MormoEs was waged with
bitterness and without the purpose Of
compromising at any stage of the road
The committee on credentials rejected
all Mormon delegates, refusing to give
them seats in the convention in every
instance where there was contest
filed by geutiles. 1t is held that the
NIormons are not true citizens of the
republic but that they claim their first
allegiance is due the church. 1t is also
held that the church Us body, while
its members try to gain standing as
democrats for the purpose of controll-
ing the party, has supported the re-
publican ticket.

William Faversham has made most
extraordinary avowal, one which stamps
him as different from other actors. He was
mentioned as co-author Of new play en-
titled Saint Michial' and takes pains to
declare that while it is a very good pay
he did no more than to suggest to Mr.. T.
+. Clancy, its author, that he dramatize
the book The usual way Is TO wait until
play is success, then delicately infer
that the actor put everything that was
worth while into it.
The dramatization of novels is going on
at so furious rate that the old-time argu-
ment against book plays is likely to be
revived. The most staid and conservative
publishing houses have been touched by
The fever of speculation in the dramatic
possibilities of stories. A book utterly de-
void of any dramatic qualities is put into
the playmill haphazard. There is no
longer any reason to jeer at the stage
struck youth since the stage-Struck pub
fishing house is so abundantly in evidence
to bear him company.

Statistics show that the expectation Of
human life has been raised considerably in

sinaists may frown and growl but the fact
remains that the world is in its best age
and that humanity is not retrograding.
