Belasco.

| Unusual in all respects is the drama
presented by Henry Aliller's Associate
| Players a the Belasco last evening. The
| Servant in the House called a play Of
| the present day, has all the undertaking
earnestness of a medieval morality or
mystery play. and in depicting conditions
| in the social and religious life of today
does not hesitate to lay aside the conven-
| tons of the modern stage. 1t is not mere
ly that intermssions between the first
second and third acts and between the
fourth and fifth acts are omitted, but
the intensity and concentrated interest
OF the drama are not dependent upon
any rapidty of action or upon startling
situations Its cIimaxes are in matters
| of mind and heart and soul rather than
| of deeds. Its interests are psychological
and spiritual without being analytical.
For quiet an exposition Of the working
| of mems and women's interior life 1t Is
curiously direct and simple.
Mr.. Charles Ram Kennedy has not hes
itated TO take the merest commonplace
Of daily life TO bear the symbolism of his
theme. He attains his most dramatic
situation by means OF the enthusiasm OF

Comradeship brotherly interdependence
and the dignity OF labor are enforced in
vivid and direct Terms. Inc peculiarly
poetic atmosphere of the play. rich in
beautiful lines is. however. controlled by
the personality of the servant in the
house.
His pervasiye and actual brotherliness
is force which is felt soon he is
met. No human being coming under the
influence of his presence can escape the
sea rch,ns potent. self-revealng effect of
his spirit.
The characters of the play are merely
concretions of human condit ions-avarice.

Mr.. Tyrone Powers representation of
the drainman is mastery a once in its
realism and in its power of suggestion.
In play so ethical so spiritual and with
al so humorous. 1t is curious to note the
delicacy with which its symbolism moves

trolled that party nationally for years
past and center about New York and
Chicago, are likely to regard anything
that may be said about a Democratic
convention adopting Prohibition plat
form as manufactured wholly from the
stuff that dreams are made Of" Such
course would bring complications into
American politics that would require
some clever double entry bookkeeping
to straighten out the tangles. Probably
the most important thing about it is that
such an utterance on the part of paper
like the Georgian, which may certainly
be presumed to speak with some infor-
nation and from good opportunity for
observation, shows how widely and how
strongly the Prohibition movement has
taken possession of the whole South.
The Denver convention, unless some
thing very like a miracle takes place,
will stay in tthe middle of the old Ii
cense road Then the question will be,

with current issues, Governor Haskell,
of Oklahoma, is being seriously talked
of as candidate for the Presidential
nomination by the Democratic party
on Prohibition platform. For
the first time since the close of the
Civil War has an issue been made in
the South which has affected or can
affect the solid Democratic vote of this
section Prohibition is now regarded
as essential to the protection of the
best interests of the people of the
South, and because of this fact it will
in all probability play wonderful
part in the approaching national Dem
ocratic convention at Denver And
Haskell will have an attraction for
many Democrats from the fact that,
unlike Bryan, he is man who has
won something, for the governorship
canvass in Oklahoma, in which Has
kell defeated Frantz, the strongest
Republican in that locality, was
watched with interest by the whole
country. Haskell is southern man,
and thus would be favored by that
powerful element which has opposed
Bryan all along, and which has been

urging that the South should put up
one of its own sons.
If, on the other hand, Bryan should
be nominated, the Prohibitionists
would have strong incentive to name
Haskell or some other popular man
who has been conspicuously identified
with their cause, and thus make an
exceedingly active canvass in the
South, in which they have been scor-
ing their biggest conquests recently.
Whatever may be the outcome, it
can not be denied that this phase of
Prohibition is worthy of very serious
consideration. The strength and pop
ularity of the Prohibition question
will probably surprise many Demo-
cratic delegates at the Denver con-
vention. 1t has become an issue of
national scope and power.
Those who are acquainted with the
Democratic party in the North, particu-
arly with the elements that have con-

THE VAIN FLANK MOVE

The Woman's National Daily, COM
nenting upon what it calls Liquors
Flank Movement" after citing with
some detail the efforts of the liquor
rafic toward making itself respectable,
says:
Sounds nice-a sort of self-purif-
cation movement. Why didn't the as
ISOLATION do this long time ago?
Why did they ever countenance dives
and doggeries that bred crime and
violence, and spread social pestilence
and degradation? 1t is late day to
come in with such declarations. 1t
is a case of the devil being sick unto
death and seeking holy orders. All
this, and all similar action and decla-
rations, are but parts of the general
flank movement by which the liquor
traffic is seeking to dodge the issue.
Such notions never entered the heads
of these men until they found them
selves face to face with the almost
unanimous declaration on the part of
the reputable people of the nation
that the liquor traffic must, go, and
go quickly. Long anu patiently nave
the people suffered They have ne
gotiated and temporized until negotia-
ton and temporizing seem the sheer
est folly. Now they have arisen in
their wrath. Now it is too late to
try any devious lodges or flank move
ment. The issue is joined, and there
can be but one result of the battle.
Let there be no truce-no armistice.
1t is glorious war, let it be waged
to the everlasting glory of the Amer
ican people.
That comes very near to placing the
Woman'S National Daily squarely in
position as a Prohibition advocate.

population and wealth. But
the American saloon as its exists-an
evil in itself and nucleus for evils
the worst that can be conceived-the
American saloon must pass.
People whose information upon the
Prohibition question has not been &C
quired wholly within the last 90 days
will wonder what Golfers would "trot

at that train of unexpected evils"

least argues that the laws in Alabama
are being very we'll enforced. The
real test, however, of prohibitory laws

GOLFERS WEEKLY ON THE
SALOON

pretty nearly committed to the move
ment against the liquor traffic In its
number of January Is its first, second
and third editorials are devoted to the
saloon question. True, in the third ed
itorial there is to be found a feeble
remnant of what has been formerly
noted in that publication, an attempt to
justify itself for its long time position
of hostility to the Prohibition move
ment, but this may be ignored and is
almost lost sight of in the force and
fervency of its declarations against the
liquor traffic and its insistence that the
saloon must be abolished. The first ed
itorial comments upon the movement
of the Ohio brewers to abolish the dive,
and says, in part:
The awakening is tardy Never be-
fore has any liquor interest" needed
public clamor There has been much
talk at conventions about "an i'm
proved business" but no action Had
the retail or the wholesale dealers,
the distillers or the brewers, taken a
more concihatory attitude, the Prohi-
bition wave would have been at least
longer in arriving. Their attitude
has been defiant, unreasoning. Did
community start to combat dives
along its waterfront? Immediately
1T had to fight, not only the owners
of those dives, not only all the sa-
loonkeepers of the region, but brew
ers, wholesalers, distillers What
matter that such places were head
quarters for running girlsl The proc
ess of ruin was good for trade; to
one girl, eight glasses of beer or
pint of whisky. A community which
did not want Prohibition in the be-
ginning would try every means of
regulation. Beaten at every turn by
the liquor interests and their follow
ers in politics, it would slowly be
convinced that there was no way to
fight the combination; outraged, it
would rise and destroy the traffic
The second editorial is entitled "The
Real Point" and arraigns the saloon
and the liquor traffic in language that
has seldom been surpassed by any Pro-
hibitionist. 1t says:
The American saloon is relic of
frontier days, an institution the like
of which exists in no other country on
the earth. Why does it exist? To
furnish at retail commodity danger
Gus at best; to extend, and to keep
on extending, the sales of brewers
and distillers. 1t prospeis best when
it can make two drunkards grow
where but one grew before How
has it protected itself in this policy?
By gathering together all that is
venal in politics; by acting as con-
Meeting link in Our singular Ameri-
can alliance between the powers that
prey and the powers that rule. The
fruit of mad extension of the liquor
traffic has ruined private health,
ruined public soul, and weakened gen
erations to come after
The third editorial is entitled de
lenda Est" and says:
