A bill to establish National Children's
bureau was introduced year ago last
winter in the senate, though the matter
has not as yet come to a head. The OBJ
ject of such bureau would be to invest
igate and report on all matters pertain
ing to the welfare of child life. Exist
ing bureaus of the census, labor and ed
ucaton already have embodied few
ideas on this important question; but a
definite and distinct organization under
national auspices will accomplish vastly
more than can be done in any other way.
The National Child Labor committee
comprises some of the leading minds of
the country, and are doing what they
can to further this laudable work. 1t is
to be hoped that this vital matter may be
systemized in the near future. There
are few questions of greater importance.

spoken. You have lost none of your
old amiabiity, but for a renowned diplo-
mat you are remarkably frank. When

admitted tia slight service"
Count Ferdinand Won Stroebel bowed
slightly. but did not take his eyes from
the young man who sat opposite him
in his rooms at the Hotel Monte Rosa
in Geneva. On the table between them
stood an open dispatch box, and about
it lay a number of packets of papers
which the old gentleman, with char
acteristic caution. had removed to his
own side of the table before admitting
his caller. He was burly old man,
with massive shoulders and great
head thickly covered with iron gray
hair.
He trusted no one, and this accounted
for his presence in Geneva in March
Of the year 1903, whittier he had gone
to receive the report of the secret
agents whom he had lately dispatched
to Paris on an errand of peculiar deli
cacy. The agents had failed in their
mission, and Won Stroebel was not
tolerant of failure.
1t was not often that the light in the
old mans eyes was as gentle as now.
He had sent his secret agents away
and was to return to Vienna on the
following day. The young man whom
he now entertained in his apartments
received his whole attention. He pick
ed up the card which lay on the table
and scrutinized it critically. while his
eyes lighted with sudden humor.
The card was gentieman's carte de
visite and bore the name John Armi-

If most New Englanders were asked
to guess as to where the geographical
center of the country was, it is more
than likely they would place it not far
west of Ohio, and few would state it was
west of the Mississippi But the fact is
the center of the state of Kansas is the
pivotal point, being about 1850 miles
from New York and 1890 miles to San
Francisco. 1t is almost exactly in the
middle of the country north and south.
This is big country geographically as

Friendly to the Stars and stripes.
Not long ago a Chinese merchant, who
had large consignment of coin for
neighboring province, came to one of the
American Board missionaries and begged
the loan of his flag for the journey, lie
said he felt sure that the money would
be transported more safely if protected
by the stars and stripes. A similar Incl

Okayama. Japan. He was asked to lend
his flag to decorate a hall in which the
Japanese were assembled to organize a
Friends of America Society. Another
significant episode was the appearance
in the Philippines recently of eight
Sikhs from northern India, fine speci

tall. They ha heard of new flag and
new country where men have better

was true. They wanted to find out how

three Vermont papers disregarded the
release date of an official state report
and gave it out prematurely. This sort
of thing is one phase of real yellow

vivor-when it comes to presentation
of the morality of a time when re
Iigion and the theatre were closely al
lied; not only the such plays as The
Shepherd King" and-prejudice aside
THE Pilgrim favorably received
but strictly secular plays that aim a
reforming the social code of ethics, are
in constant demand, as is proved by
the supply to the stage of just this
class of plays. One Of the greatest
plays of modern times is. undoubtedly
THE Hypocrites, by Henry Arthur
Jones. Every one, too, is familiar
with Way Down East" In fact. we
believe that the growing approval OF
such plays is beginning to make
amends for the deluge of musical
comedies, so much in vogue, and still
in vogue. and not always clean, eX-
cepting such as those in which Marie
Cahill figures. Even the problem
plays are becoming nauseating.
OF course, the better class plays that
convey a moral lesson, are not relig-
ious in the true sense of the word. but
their influence nevertheless is for the
good, for the betterment of the public.
Such plays make the stagee something
more than means Of amusement, and
the pulpit may find it an able second.
When Otis Skinner, the highly ac-
complished actor, appeared in The
Duel" he made the character of the
priest stand out prominently as the
embodiment of high purposes. 1t was
not so in France, where the character
of the atheist was given prominence.
We attended a performance of THE
Duel" The priest was applauded,
the atheist Kissed. There was C>.!y one
spectator who applauded the atheist,
and he perhaps, more because he APP
proved of the Interpretation of the
actor, rather than he approved of the
sentiments uttered
Mr.. Skinner lately appeared in the
pulpit of his brothers church, and
spoke in vedy optimistic terms of the
future Of the stage. He said the stage
fell short of its real purpose when it
ceased to refine, educate and heighten
the moral tone of the community And
this, we are happy to say.is the stand
taken by the best actors of our stage
As has been said before popular taste
makes possible the presentation of
good plays.
The next step In the betterment of
the stage will be the restoration of re-
lfgious subjects on the stage. This
step has already in a measure been
taken. But the step is as yet a fee
bic one. If the realization of the Lope
never comes upon us, at least let us
hope that good taste will prevail in
the matter of plays presented in the
Mirror.
