selves, as both parties are entitled
to the earliest settlement of the
legal issues that have arisen in
the states named, and particularly
welcome on account of their
direct and immediate effect on the
threatened state-federal wars"
These wars, in fact, may be con.
sldered over.
They are over because from the
tlrst the state authorities EXPRESS.
ly disclaimed the slightest inten.
tion of defying the federal courts
or disregarding their actual decis-
ions. Governor Glenn's position
was that an act which is not de-
cIared invalid ,anno: be "sus.
pended" in its penal provisions
bv any federal Judge, as that
would mean notification without
reason of the criminal laws of the
states BY the lower federal courts.
That objection has now vanished.
Judge Pritchard has no arbitrari.

wrong the Supreme Court alone
has the authority to determine.
Until it speaks all sides mu It dis.
arm and maintain a truce.
The only war that is in order in
such cases is a war Of vigorous
brlefs-and arguments. This ap.
plies not only to the merits of
rate ats, but to penal clauses,
jurisdictional matters and any
other legal tangles and knots. =

The production of the play of 'Ju- Illus Caesar" is an enterprise not to be lightly undertaken. There is no drama in Shakespeare whose adequate pre- sentation requires a more competent cast of characters or more liberal seen ic equipment. Mir. Charles B. Han ford. who will appear at the Doris op-
 era house on next Saturday night in this great tragedy of Roman statesman ship, is peculiarly qualified for this important task. He has devoted his entire career as an actor to the pres
 entation of the classic drama. and is recognized as one of the closest and most thorough Shakespearean students in America. In addition to this schol- arly attainment. MT Hanford has the peculiar gift of personal magnetism which makes the popular actor. His first great success was made in the character of Mare Antony Tn this play. and in this present tour he presents the great Roman orator as the stellar character. not forgetting. however, that both Brutus and Cassius are heroes of gigantic quality and must be interpre
 ted by actors of sincere artistry and exceptional ability. It was in Julius Caesar that Mr. Hanford first came forward as a star, his appearance being preceded by a series of ovations from the audience who witnessed his per formance of Marc Antony as a sup porting member of the Booth Barrett combination. The role of Portia will be assumed by Miss Marie Drofnah. "Cymbeline" Is announced as MT. Han ford's play for the matinee Saturday afternoon. Seats on sale at Sanicha's.

FEBRUARY TALES"

In the February number of Trans atlantic Tales the editor says: Many of the French Hungarian and Italian reviews are asking the question: What is the future of fctiOn?" They point out that nearly every possible situation in which two three or four men and women can find themselves in life. and every possible relation between them. has been described over and over again. The French are getting tired of the story of le menage a trois.
 If you wish to write well. do not read" was the advice Of Goethe to a young author, meaning thereby that he should draw his inspiration from him self and not become entangled in the meshes of a memory overladen with ideas of hundreds of other writers. \ half century ago in this country the of a new story was to our grandmothers an epOchmaking event. They did not devour the three-volume novel, but, as the French say. "elles le savouraient" It lasted them for months. They read a few pages each day and then pOndered the adventures of the heroine after they retired and wondered what was coming next. They wept when the william seemed to be getting the upper hand. and cried out joyfully when the hero vanquished his enemies. Those were days of primi- tive literary emotions. days when to witness a melodrama meant to laugh and weep and cheer lustily, the specta- tors believing for the moment that it was from real life
