THE IDEAL CRITIC AGAIN.


In the first place, the duty OF the
critic must be defined. To some ex-
tent critic should be an opportun-
ist. That is to say, he lives In an
imperfect world and varied world.
There Is room for many types OF
drama, and a critic should be able to
recognize what is good in each type.
l trust / have done that. even with
violence to my own tastes. At the
same time critic is no mere report
err He should have individuality,
noint of view, temperament, charac-
ter, and bis own sense Of ethics. The
combination of all these qualities re-
suits In an ideal, by which we can no
more help judging plays than flow
er can turn its head from the sun.
apologize for making so poetic
smile in connection with so prosaic
creature as critic. To give full ex-
preston to these qualities the critic
must have a free hand. Such OPP
portunism as he may feel compelled
to employ in his work must only be
an opportunism arising from the rec
ognition that he has no right to die
tate to the whole world exactly what
they should enjoy. But even when
he feels that it is right to recognize
this the critic is not compelled to put
aside his ideals. He is justified in
using them as the standard by which
he Judges.
I do not think a critic should be
expected to cut aside his view Of life.
Properly speaking, it is one of the as
sets of his criticism for drama touches
life at all points, and in this respect,
dramatic criticism is very different
from musical. All one can ask Is
that critics views should be as
catholic in their breadth as a drama
lists should be. The critic must not
have conventional views of morality
nor should he be party politician of
any sort, or have fixed ideas on social
questions. His mental attitude to the
world should be that of philosophical
curiosity and with this should 60
sympathy and the power of feeling.
In whatever degree, all these qualities
should be possessed by the critic. A
man who has even little of each is
a better critic than he who has one
Of these qualities and none of the
otherSA critic who has sympathy
and feeling and only a medium in
tellect is likely to write more useful,
if less brilliant. criticism than one
who is all intellect and no feeling, be-
cause the combination of all these
qualities makes for perfect human
being-E. A. Baughan, in the LON

TABBY CAT CASE IN COURT.
Fate Of Daisy, Abducted Years Ago,
Now In Hands Of Appellate Judges.

New York. Feb. 19.-That the aus
tere justices composing the appellate
division of the supreme court have
been called upon to decide whether the
taking Of tabby cat is justifable
offense for arrest was revealed in the
suit Of Max Doring Of 300 East Twen-
ty-frst street against Paul Mortimer
Brown Of 80 Third avenue for $4,000
damages. A jury in the supreme court
several months ago gave a verdict to
the plaintiff for $700, but the defend
ant decided that as the case had gone
so far it might as well go to the appel
late division and thence to the court Of
appeals.
The taking Of the cat. known as
Daisy. by Doring happened fully two
years ago. Since that time Brown and
Doring have been warning about the
animal. and the actual ownership de-
ponds upon the verdict of the courts.
At present Doring, who went into
Browns store early one morning and
nabbed the animal, is in possession.

OHIO DEMOCRATS FOR BRYAN
State COMMITTEES Indersss His candi-
daey For Presidency.

Columbus, O.. Feb. 19.-william ..
Bryan's visit to Columbus was sig
naIized by the Democratic state cen
trail committee unanimously indorsing
his candidacy for the presidency. Mr.
Bryan arrived at the Southern hotel
while the committee was still In ses-
sion and upon being introduced to the
members paused long enough TO say
that he found "a keen feeling through
out the country that our efforts viii
not be in vain"
While lndoring Mr.. Bryan the state
committee made provision IN the call
for the state convention by which the
voters Of any county In which there IL
a registration city may express their
preference for a candidate for presi-

Service Boards Are Constitutional.

Albany, y. ", Feb. 19.-By a unani-
nous vote the court Of appeals de-
cided that the legislature has the con-
stitutional right TO delegate to a state
commission the power to fix rates
charged by corporations which furnish
transportation, heat, light or water.
The general supervision of these cor
porations under a special act also may
be delegated TO a commission. The
opinion Of the court was regarded here
as Of the FIRST Importance. as it makes
certain the validity Of the public utili-
ties act of last year and therefore
means that the public service commits

coDD SAYS HE'S BEEN ASKED TO
RUN FOR GOVERNOR
NO JOKE.

George p. Codd has blossomed into
a tentative candidate for governor
during the past week.
This has come through the over
lures made to him by Republican
leaders In various portions of the
state who desire To see Wayne
county man entered in the race. Codd
has given no answer and has not sig
nifled his intention to run, but IL Is
very possible that his entry will be
In the field at the state primary.
ut is too early to say anything
yet" said Mr.. Codd, Friday. II have
been asked to run but have not Civ
en- any reply as yet"
Many, Of the local leaders would
like TO see Detroit man enter the
contest for the nomination. Not since
Gov. Pingree retired has Wayne coun-
ty had any very powerful influence
ia state affairs. ID. NJ. Ferry was a
candidate for governor, but did not
succeed In securing the nomination
and the smaller counties OF the state
have held the power since.
Warner men see in the tide toward
Codd. an attempt TO break up the vote
In the state primary and throw the
nomination into the state convention.
\Dr. j. b. Bradley has denied that
such an attempt is to be made but
there IL no doubt that his chances
would be improved IL Warner were TO
get less than 40 per cent OF the vote,
and the nomination were TO go to a
convention OF delegates. many OF
whom would have prejudices against
a third term.
