Sim plIcIty OF Play writing.

To TINE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: A theatrical
manager declares In TEE SUN Of November 10 that
II Ia an easy matter for a playwright TO get an audi
ence with managers. and that all plays are read.
He adds; There's never an hour while l am on
duty thatI I'm not accessible to everybody. man or
woman. who scribbles on his or her card that he or
she wants to see me about some play that he or
she has written"
Pray tell where and who the manager Is who can
be approached by an unknown playwright who will
not feel II necessary 90 take out an extra Tfe insur-
ance policy before he makes the excursion"
Tho manager says I'm crazy for plays and In
the nature OF things he'll be crazy n he dOesn'G get
them. Then in the interests of humanity let him
make himself known. and nc will be furnished with
three OF the best plays ever written, OF course. and
10 be saved from becoming a permanent boarder at
Kings Park or BlOOmlngdale.
IL hardly seems probable that OF all manuscripts
which he says are read 80 few are worthy Of pro-
ductiOn. Surely In this great country there Is
material enough In the business. social and senn-
mental world TO meet the demands of a theatre
going public. Indeed. there arc heroes and hero

General Barry recommends an Increase OF
the infantry OF the army by twenty-fOur
regiments and Of the Geld artillery by seven
regiments. This he deems necessary In order
to preserve che proper rotations between
cavalry. infantry and neld artillery from
tactical considerations. The cavalry n now
OF sufficient strength and requires no In

The arguments in favor Of this increase are
based upon the idea OF having available
within the limits Of the United States as all
times one complete army corps ready 90
move TO any threatened point on the border
or to embark for service abroad without
stripping the home country OF all power OF
defence.
To accomplish this two complete army

gress it In usually a question OF what need
regarding the army is the most pressing.
Now the chief OF artillery has also shOwn
the necessity for an increase OF the coast ar
tillery. and this increase appears to be the
more pressing need of the two. inasmuch as
the number OF men now In ehts branch Of the
army does not yet give one full relief Of can

Our seacoast must first be made secure
before our navy can fulnl its highest duty

over. NJ offensive operations OF the mobile
army can be carried on beyond seas until the
home shore is left protected: In other words.
until it's seacOast guns are fully manned with
at least one relief.
These are the considerations for Congress
to weigh. But there is still another which
should make the two increases Infantry and
coast artillery go together. and thai is that
infantry is required to nan the land fOrtin-
cations of the coast forts; that is, the forts
on the land side which are intended to guard

The Troublesome Foraker.

JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER of Ohio is
a most indispensable and troublesome
person. Only a few months ago his po-
litioal death was announced by his dear
est enemies, who shook their heads in
sadness and publicly bewailed the con
tumaciOus conduct that had made his
elimination from public life necessary.
He had given the mortal blow TO his
chances of reelection to the Senate by
voting against the rate regulation bill.
He had presumed to oppose the gentle
man at that time designated az the per-
petuator, guardian and preserver OF My
Policies. He had denied the competency
Of the Republican State committee To
pledge the delegates to the national con
ventiOn. and he had repudiated the pro-
gramme Of party paciication devised by
GEORGE B, Coz, a gentleman Of some
potency in Ohio affairs.
His conduct had reduced him 10 a stu
alton in which the apportiOnment OF his
estate seemed timely and appropriate.
The division of his political assets was
delayed only out of Difference to the con-
VSuLLOllS. AucAlp 10 luo aLtld1cliAcub alu
chagrin Of the claimants, Mr.. FORAKER
brazenly emerged, whole and sound, and
emphatiOally proclaimed his intention
TO refrain from disappearance into the
solitude Of private life for some time to
come. His words and actions proved
his determination, and certain incidents
which Immediately preceded them added
weight and force TO his attitude.
Mr.. FORAKER merits the severest con-
demnation. He has interfered most
seriously with a transaction from which
he had been excluded. He has forced
himself into a society which governed
itself entirely on the theory that he would
be heard from no more. His appear
ance is most inopportune for several
statesmen, who will not forgive him soon
for his refusal to play the game accord
ing to the rules which, at considerable
expenditure Of time and effort, they have
promulgated and told him to obey.

SuperfiuOus Labor Of the Grand Young
Man.

According to a Washington despatch
lndiana's Grand Young Man, the Hon.
ALBERT JEREMIAH BEvERIDGE. is build
ing a measure for n Federal inheritance
TAX.
Mr.. BEvERIDGE is as wise o. venerable.
Few gifted occasional thinkers are nearer
othe business and bosom Of Omnificence;
but he is giving himself unnecessary
trouble. Thus much of child labor car
he avoid. Objections constitutional or
economic may be- put aside lightly. They
do not count in this age. Therei is a prac-
teal obstacle. however. The dropsy of
swollen fortunes has been tapped by the
relentless surgeon in the White House.
Riches have taken wings in fright. In
h~eritances have shrunk as quickly as the
Djinn whom the fisherman in the Arabian
Nights persuaded to go back into the
casket. In the war against wealth, wealth
has been routed, despoiled, stripped OF its
baggage.
I~nheritances have been regulated
sufficiently for the present. The Grand
Young Man must find some other way Of
recommending himself at court.

We observe. finally, that the Bishop Of
Hereford, who opposed tho Deceased
Wife's Sister bill in the House Of Lords,
now warns his clergy with the utmost
earnestness that IL Is the duty Of every
citizen to have regard for the statute
law and to be very Sur OF htS ~justiica-
ton before setting his OWE individual
conscience above IL. There was no
prospect, he said. Of the repeal Of the
act. There was no doubt either, in his
opinion, az to the course which an Angli-
can clergyman should take in the event
OF a conflict between the statute and
the canon law. Should Anglican clergy
men give support TO such p~retensions as
that CSnOn law must override statute
law and thus encourage and strengthen
saCerdOtal opposition to the law Of the
realm, they should at least clearly under
stand that they are heading straight for
disestablishment.
