How Did waraeId Achieve successes

How Did WarTeId Achieve Success
The good work which David War.
field was doing won for him an en-.
gagement at the Casino for series
of burlesques, thence to the Weber &
Fields company.
The rest is known to every one; he
was seen by David Belasco. and his
wonderful possibilities for the "legiti.
mate" were recognized. He was TAX.
en- from the burlesQue stage. where his
every effort had been to raise laugh.
where his every movement was farce
and caricature, and put into the fields
of the Legitimate" where he has
shown his real powers. "The Auction
eer," THE Music Master" and now
"The Grand Army Man" are each great
and individual creations. When the
success of 1.-THE Auctioneer" was as
sured, great many people said, "oh.
yes; of course he can play that sort
of thing. He's been doing Jewish bur-
lesque for years" But Belasco knew
better. Then "The Music Master"
was put on and. as Ludwig won Bar
wig. Mr.. warAeld gave us character
study that was absolutely perfect in
every detail and yet was totally diff.
ferent from anything that he had done
before. In "The Grand Army Man"
we have third complete type. in no
way reminiscent of any other of Mr..
Warfeld's roles From the gags" and
slapstick methods that went in the
ten.cent music hall to Wes' Bigelow--
that is a long artistic distance to go.
And yet listen to this: at is not
work and 1t is not study that makes
an actor. 1t Is intuition-intuition and
experience alone" And there you
have David warfeld's first and last
words on his art. But don't believe
him. David Warheld has intuition
no one can doubt that-and he GER
tainly has experience, but he has work
ed and he has studied as few men have
worked and studied. Experience has
taught him much; those(ea days of
cheap lodgings and bakeshop dinners
have helped him to give his work
that compelling, human touch. Intui'
tion-nonsense Many a man has
"intuitlve" knowledge of how line
should be said or gesture made
and yet is unable to say the line OF
make the gesture. It's something
more than intuition that makes an &C
tor, and it's something greater, and
you have shown us that whatever II
is, you have It.-From "David War

Growing Things.

Edward III. Hartman, when asked by a
New York newspaper to express a watch
word for the new year. proposed: Watch
things grow
That is a good suggestion. Things are
growing all the time, fortunes as we'll as
corn and tomatoes Mr.. Harriman's for
tune has grown tremendously. so rapidly
at times that it's progress could be seen
without the aid of a microscope. But
other things have been growing rapidly of
late years besides Mr.. Harriman's fortune
For instance. public intelligence has been
The average citizen today
knows more about finances and how great
fortunes are swiftly accumulated than he
did few years ago.
Another thing that has grown has been
the public appreciation of its power of
self-defense Mr.. Hartman has felt that
power on one or two occasions. He and
his associates and enemies in the field of
unsound finance have done much to open
the eyes OF the people to the true inward
Eess of modern enterprise" They have
been in effect conducting school in
which they have taught many lessons.
They have not so intended. Far from
it. They have never had thought~of en-
tightening the public as to the ways and
means of manipulating a railroad system

tie at first and lately in great volume.
Now many things ere plain that before
were mysterious.
During the past year some things have
grown entirely too fast for Mr.. Hartman
There was the matter of railway rate
regulation, for an example That devel-
Ioped beyond bounds in some cases, and
mate enterprises by the sudden rebound
of the people from somnolent, ignorant.
trusting confidence in the good faith of
the financiers to active hostility. But in
the last analysis the experience was for
the betterment of affairs. The series of
legislative enactments served notice upon
the ruthless that they cannot forever play
ducks and brakes with the peoples re-
sources and necessities To those with
the wit to perceive it. this past years re-
formatory activities have been as dans
ger signal.
Perhaps Mr.. Hartman has watched this
thing grow. this newly developed power
of self-defense on the part of the country
at large. Maybe he has taken warming
Perhaps the others who manipulate mil
lions. exploit corporations. capitalize
and overcapitalZe public utilities. wreck
banks. undermine insurance institutions
have been aroused to sense of their in
security. If so, they may yet become de-
sirable citizens. But they would better
keep their eye on the average citizen and
watch him grow in stature.

The Grant Monument Site.

Justice Gould's decision not to enjoin
the Grant Monument commission from
removing the historic trees from the
Botanic Garden site selected by that
body In violation of the act of Congress
authorizing it to select any ''tEoccupicd
portion of the reservation, does not touch
in any manner or degree upon. the merits
of the case. 1t is inspired solely by con-
sideration of the status of the citizen in
equity proceedings. The court holds that
the individual cannot maintain posi-
tion in a court of equity unless he can
demonstrate an actual or prospective
personal injury if certain actions are per-
United. In this case the plaintiff for
relief merely shared the sentimental i'll
jury common to all citizens, and under
the strict rule of procedure he is not en-
titled, in Justice Goulds view of the case,
to inte-pose his objections TO the destruc-
ton of the trees.
This decision emphasizes an important
lack in our legal system. When Congress.
possibly in great haste perhaps as
result of Misrepresentation. enacts leg
islation granting apparent authority for
, the execution of certain plans. no person
is qualified to call Il halt and demand that
the courts review the proceedings, when
it becomes apparent that the let~r and
spirit of the law are in danger of viola
ton, unless that person can show an
actual individual loss or damage. In
other words. what is anybodyS business
is nobody's business. This condition of
things puts damper upon the enterprise
of the good citizen who has only the
public welfare at heart. 1t should be
remedied by some enactment which gives
the citizens of the District access to the
courts to prevent the unlawful execution
of improper enactments of hurried and
sometimes easily bamboozled Congress.
Had this emergency arisen during the
long recess it is fairly assured that the
destructive work in the Botanic Garden
would have proceeded. Fortunately, Con-
gress is in session, in effect, the houses
being scheduled to reconvene next Mon
day. Already in the House of Representa-
tives steps have been taken to rescind the
authority granted in misunderstanding to
the monument commission to place the
memorial in the miserably ill-suited spot
chosen. involving the destruction of noble
trees that CANNOT possibly be saved by
transplantation.
Until Congress has had a chance to re-
view it's previous action, in the light of the
facts now known, it behOoves the monu-
ment commission to move slowly in the
premises. INDEED. especially in view of
the fact that the season is unpropitious
for out-door\ work, the commission should
agree to postone all action until the b.
tanic Garden site is either formally re-
affirmed by Congress or the authorization
granting it has been withdrawn and an
other spot, more suitable and less o5Jec-

Democracy and Reaction.

The National Democratic Club of New
York is, by series of dinners seasoned
with speeches, to attempt to rescue the
party from it's present divided and uuhap-
Ply plight. The first dinner will be eaten
on January 3. and ex-Justice OBrien will
ask and answer this question: ''Whv IS
the democratic party dividad?" A circu-
lar issued by the president Of the club
gives this explanation of matters:
THE existing confusion in the public
mind as to what constitutes historic DEM
ocratic doctrine, the fierce fractional quar-
rels which have heretofore divided. and
still divide, the great party founded by
the author of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and the grave danger that in the
coming presidential campaign the party
may again be disrupted b. the intrusion
OF new, untried and impractcable schemes
of reform-these are conditions which
make it eviden. TO prudent and thinking
men that there is pressing need for an
educational campaign In behalf of his
toric democratic teaching.
I'VE desire, moreover. to strongly en-
phasize the fact that personal candida
cies. whether national. state or local, and
the promotion OF personal and pet schemes
OF reform. are to be rigidly excluded from
this program. The one and only purpose
Is TO conduct an educational camoaign-to
present to our members and their guests
who attend the dinners. and afterward to
publish and distribute in readable pam
phIet form, timely and able discussions of
pending issues. which cannot failNto in
struct and lead aright men of influence
in our party who account themselves
democrats by logical conviction"
This is plainly an anti-Bryan movement
All filings at rev, untried and impracti
cable schemes of reform refer TO him.

reform" which are now agitating the
democratic party, and they cannot be CEN
sured without censurfng him. or eliminated
without injuring him. He understands
that and he and his friends are keeping
check clerks tab on all such proceed
ings as this club advertises
What these New York democrats call
historic democratic doctrine is admitted
to be historic by Mr.. Bryan. but is
held by him to be only that. He thinks
it belongs to history; that it has played
its part, and is now out of date. Democ-
racy, he holds cannot live on memories
and pedigrees. 1t must progress. Suffi-
cient unto the time is the doctrine thereof.
Jefferson's doctrines were new and I'M
tried at the start and as late as the
early ~ s great a ma, as Lord Macau-
lay doubted their wisdom. Jackson s
doctrines. when new. were a shock to
many democrats, and were resisted by
some. And so Mr.. Bryan makes no
apologies for his. jefferson and Jackson
met the issues of their days. and he is
trying to show the way for meeting the
issues of this day.
In the one party in the other there
is Il reactionary faction. Anti-Rooseveit
republicans are proposing II return to
what they call historic republican doc
trine." just as these anti-Bryan demo-
Gratis are proposing a return to what
they call historic democratic doctrine"
But. as in the democratic case, so in the
republican case. the answer is that a live
party must live in the present; and that
means new and untried schemes of re-
form whenever the situation seems to,
warrant them. The reactionaries are not
likely to win either side. The back
track has no charm for the American peo-
pic.

TheiIneyitabIe Boni.

sCoApt Bont de Castellane breaks into
rfint hgain in characteristic manner. The
dstaHA of HIS latest escapade differ, to
be-enfe, from those of his other en-
frances upon the public stage, but the
character ne portrays remains the same
CONSISTENT cseatien. In truth, Count Boni
acrs-she fool to the life. He is ideally
lifted by nature TO- the part. With
bare spoonful of brains. an overwhelming
konceit and a monumental nerve, few
hen today are better suited to this line
~ public entertainment.
Perhaps Paris will now appreciate what
has been thoroughly apparent to America
for long time, that Count Boni is sim
.ply ridiculous little creature who will
never be other than a public entertainer.
Whether he is Gaming a concierge for re-
ff1<n1 to carry a card to his divorced
wife. or rolling in the gutter with his
cousin. an admirer of the former count
ess Count Boni remains the clown.
They nc.y talk about a-duel between the
count and the prince, his cousin-antag-
onist Both men have had experience,
the prince perhaps the greater He is said
to have fought almost one hundred duels
and to have pinked his man nearly every
time. But Count Boni is such a little
man maybe he will be missed. Motion
pictures of the Castellane-de Sagan fight
would command large premiums in all
civilized countries. Why not capitalize
the quarrel? The creditors of the count
are stll waiting for their money. They
might easily organize corporation to
make good their losses
