The American Stage.

We do not agree with certain pessimists
who see in the death of Mr.. Richard
Mansfield a blow from which the Ameri-
can stage viii find it hard to recover.
True II is that Mansfield held a COM
handing figure on the stage, but there
are prophets still in Israel" We think it
is mighty significant that Mr.. Mansfield
our leading actor leaves a fortune Of
close to a million dollars; and It should be
a sufficient answer 10 those who cry aloud
about the utter deterioration of the taste
Of the American public. 1t is true, indeed
that the theater-going public in this
country seeks amusement at the theateF
rather than instruction, and TO this tend
ency must be ascribed the enormous
growth in the field of meretriclous mu-
sical-comedy, the frothy, glittering. mean

Modem Justice.

It has often been said that Justice is too
slow, but We have made great strides
within the last few years toward making
criminal justice, at least. more even
handed, by making it less speedy. Il has
come TO be recognized that society owes
higher duty 10 its unfortunates than
the mere melting out Of punishment more
or less adequate for offenses committed
against the law. and throughout the
country there are judges who are actually
coming to see that the passing Of SEN
tence on malefactor IS doing mighty lit
tie toward the aid or the protection Of
society. In short, we are coming To see
that the fewer men We can send to prison
the better society will be off.
One Of the ablest opponents OF this naw
idea in the administration Of criminal
justice is Judge Mckenzie Cleiand. of
Chicago, who presides over a police court
1t has been the pleasing custom there to
put the nights batch Of prisoners in line
and deal with them one by one in a min
ute or two each. Disorderly conduct. fine
so much; drunk, fine so much; and so ON
down the list. It is obvious that this
hasty way of disposing Of the grist of I'M
tortunates takes into account no individ-
ual circumstances; the cause Of the mis-
demeanor. which often goes back a long
way, is not sought; no mitigation is all
lowed; ii has been punish punish, punish.
Judge Cleland has different ideas. He
says: II saw the mistake that II Is 10
send men to prison. I'm not radical.
Ny opinions 1t seems TO me, are based on
common sense. I think the purpose of
the law is to keep men out of prison. The
people of a community should love the
law. not fear it. Money spent in prosecu-
ton and punishment is about thrown
away. 1t should be spent in keeping men
and women from going to Jail in the first
place. I don't believe in speedy justice.
as it is popularity understood. It doesn't
give men a fair chance. Especially is it
unfair to the poor man who has not
money enough to hire expensive counsel.
l want every man who comes before me
to feel that I am a friend to be depended
upon I want them all to feel that so
long as they don't go back on me I won't
go back on them"
Now there is good, sound common sense
in that viewpoint. The prisoner is Of no
value 10 the community whatever. II .
great majority Of cases the men who are
sent TO prison could be made into good
and decent citizens with a little help and
sympathy applied in the right way and in
the right direction. This is much sim
pier. much more humanitarian, and much
more economical than our system OF
speedy Justice and our well-flled jails.
The idea Of helping instead Of hurting is
one that is taking firm hold in our deal
ing with the UnfOrtunates and weak, and
it viii be great day for the country at
large when the principle is universally
observed.

Mr.. RoOseveIt's Control of the Next
Presidential Nomination.
From the New York World
There will be s92 delegates III the Re-
publican National Convention Of 1905, with
4g7 votes necessary to a choice.
Of these s92 delegates 3s2 will come from
Southern States, where the Republican or
gaaization is in the hands Of Federal
off1ceholders; 26 will come from Terri
tories, where the Republican organization
is also IN the hands of Federal offcehold-
ers; 156 viii come from States west of the
Mississippi where Mr.. Roosevelt's anti
corporation policies are most admired and
where his lingo battle-ship demonstration
is most popular. These three groups will
represent 81 votes in the conventions
safe working majority.
How easy It would be for Mr.. Roosevelt
to control that convention! How easy TO
renOminate himself. If tnat happened to
be his purpose,
With the Southern. Western. and Terri
torial delegates solidly behind HIM, Mr..
Roosevelt would not require the vote of a
solitary delegate from any State north OF
Mason and Dixon's line and east Of the
Mississippi River.

Or is it, as the farmers claim.

There is rejoicing in Poland over the
news that the national collection Of his
torical art objects, books, and archives
now kept in the castle at Rapperswyl,
Switzerland. Will soon be taken to Lem
burg. to form the nucleus OF new Polish
museum. This collection is rich in ethno-
graphical objects and historical docu-
ments. One special relic which Poland is
glad to get back is the embalmed heart of
the Polish patriot Kosciushc. who at Du-

Russians at bay for five days. Later he
successfully defended Warsaw against the

Mansfield a Reporter.

It is not generally known that. in sddi-
ton to his other activities. Richard Mans
field was at one time a reporter. He did
all-around work on a small paper IN Bos-
ton. and from the city room graduated to
the desk of musical and dramatic criti-
cism. Only one Of his criticisms seems
to have attracted notice, and that was
because he devoted the major part Of it
TO the work OF the bass drum. He read
the bass drummer long lecture on his
ignorance Of the dynamic value and capa-
bilities of that instrument The idea of
criticising the bass drum made the pro-
fessionals smile. but Mansfield maintained
that it was but natural that he. the son
Of musician, and a musician himself,

critics ignored.

The Holy Grail.

The alleged finding OF the Holy Grail at
Glastonbury, England, has revived inter
est in the old legends concerning it. The
''Morte dArthur," which was printed
while the monks were still at GIastou-
bury, IS conclusive as to the fifteenth
centurys belief that an end had come to
the holy vessel covered with red samite -
In telling Of the death Of Sir Gaiahad.
Mallory wrote: Also the two fellows
saw come from heaven an hand, but they
saw not the body. and then it came right
to the vessel and took it-and so bare it
up heaven. Since then never was man so
hardy as to say that he had seen the san
gTeal." Celtic scholars believe that they
have discovered that the grail itself was
of pagan origin. being simply the magic
caldron that Arthur captured from the
King Of Hades. Even the idea that the
sangreal may be seen only by the pure in
heart is, Trey say. only the Catholic re-
fnement of the Celtic magic caldron
