Girls as Playwrights.

The thing nowadays that is taking
ahe greatest hold OF the young girls. who
turn to the stage as flowers turn to
the sun, is the mania for play writing.
Every girl who scribbles at all tries
10 write play. II she can't write

ought TO be done. OF grand plot.
of character that would jlst ut
some one Of the most prominent folk
In stageland She talks about the
matter in season and out. and earn
estly searches for q collaboration who
will put her ideas in dramatic form.
The germ of playwriting is abroad In
the land, and few escape it, Many
are melted by the current stories OF
vast fortune made by the successful
playwright Others desire the fame %
notoriety that goes with dramatic sue
cess. In every girls school and col
lege the mania for writing plays has
burst forth with remarkable vigor. In
women's clubs analyses of plays 90

writing OF them she is writing a
play" is the explanation Of many a
woman's withdrawal from ordinary
activities. Managers, actors, critics.
all who have anything TO do with the
staging or acting Of plays, are over

Of all ages and conditions to pass an

PLOT OF JUDGE PARKER.
Calls Upon the South to sidetrack
Both Bryan ard
Hearst.

The motive for Judge Parker's sug-
gestion OF a southern Democratic can
didate for the presidency Is his eager
ness TO get rid In some way OF william
J. Bryan and William n. Hearst. whose
socialistic and anarchistic leanines and
associations are threatening the party
AT the north with complete disruption.
but We do not see how a southern oandi-
date could relieve the situation. says the
Chicago Chronicle.
II he should be OF the same stripe AZ
Bryan and Hearst he would have the
same bad effect on the party that those
two candidates would have, and II he
should be a decent old-fashioned Demo-
crat he could never get the support OF
the northern Democrats. most OF whom
long since swung loose from all the
traditions OF the party.
The report OF Judge Parker's speech
does not mention that Il created any en-.
thusiasm. and as II possessed no element
Of feasibility II had nc eject except 20
reveal the desperate situation his'party
u in at the north In consequences of the
hold that Bryan and Hearst have
upon II.
The reason why there was no objec-
ton to confessing this situation Is given
by the judge himself. who said II wGs 90
bad that neither a southern candidate
nor anything else could make II any
worse.

Too bad.
And yet, says the Washington star
Mr. Bryan richly deserves to be classed
with the bloody oppressors Of those
people. He looked and talked daggers
In the campaign of 1900 on the subject
OF the governments policy in the arch.

into smooth and flowing Spanish, and
circulated In the islands to show how
friendly he was toward the insurgent

OF course. as We all know in this
country. Mr.. Bryan's campaign talk
was for campaign purposes. Il was
not what might be called a deliberate
cheat. but IL was keyed TO create and
intensity prejudice. and TO catch votes.
He was not as excited on the subject
OF the "downtrod" use Mr. Dew

indicated. The American people were
