GILMORE MAKES SOME
INTERESTING STATEMENTS
Brilliant Young Actor, to be Seen
Here Tomorrow Night, Declares
Church and Stage Can Aid
Each Other.

+ A few days ago while in I.
+ Denver, Paul Gilmore, the I.
+ young actor, was asked his +
+ opinion on the relation between I.
J. the church and the theater. He +
1. said: i.
I. I. + j. + ff*+ 4.
Naturally, the first object of the
stage is to amuse, or, more properly,
to entertain, while that of the church
is to instruct and uplift. There is
not such great difference between
these two purposes. With the pulpit
little more entertaining and less
dogmatic, and the stage as interest
ing as it is now but less frivilous, the
ends of both could be better served.
And the way to attain this object
is by closer sympathy between the
two. l am happy to say that the
increasing antipathy to the theatre.
which once existed in some religious
denominations, is passing away. The
new tolerance has led churchmen to
see the vast possibilities for good
that lie in the drama. The natural
result Is for them, instead of de-
nouncing the theatre as an institu-
ton, merely to inveigh against those
demoralizing productions, of which,
unfortunately, there have been too
many.
Here is where the church can
help the stage. and at the same time
help itself-by encouraging attend
ance upon clean. ambitious plays. 1t
Is a self-evident fact that managers
will give theatre patrons the class of
attractions they desire. If the pub
lie demands degrading drama. that
is what will be given. The reverse
of the proposition is equally true.
Therefore, If church members
become supporters OF the theatre, in
sisting upon wholesome plays, the
Prurient, nauseous drama, which has
done so much towards provoking ad-
verse criticism of the stage, will of
necessity pass away, or will be con-
fined to the third rate. cheap thea
tres, patronized only by those of low
instincts.
II do not mean that plays should
preach sermons, or that they unould
be serious on the line of being de-
void of fun. To the contrary, the
province of the stage must always
be to entertain. / would increase IN
stead of diminish the number of COM
edies and farces. These may contain
lessons or potent morals, but a SER
mon Is not obtruded. The good is
done by indiscretion, and by the alb
sence of indecency and suggestive
ness. The people after a hard days
work, simply have an evening of
carefree, wholesome, honest Inirt.l,
and go home refreshed and bettered,
and more able to meet the trials of
the coming day, and the duties of
citizenship.
Let every church member attend
the presentation of every good play
that comes his way and remain away
from every bad one, and before many
years there will not be an objection
able attraction on the road"

He Will
Be Busy
WEEK
For the Leading Candidate
for the Republican Presi-
dental Nomination --Will
Make Many Speeches.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Secretary
Taft will have a busy week of cam
paigning beginning today in New
England, where he will contest with
Hughes for popular favor. He will
speak before the Taft Club of Con-
cord, N. H., tomorrow, and on We'd
nesday will go to New Haven to ad-
dress the Young Mems Republican
Club and to attend a meeting of the
Yale corporation. The Taft Club of
Connecticut, which now has over l.
600 members will be his official
escort. Frank Butterworth, form
er Yale football player, is president
of the club, and Taft is officially sup
ported by Yale men in his campaign
for the presidency.
1t was the original intention of
the club to give a dinner in honor of
Secretary Taft in the Yale dining
hall, but permission to do this has
been denied by Secretary Stokes of
the Yale corporation, who thinks
that no Yale building should be used
for political purposes.
The strenuous week of Secretary
Taft will end Saturday night at Buff
falo, where he will deliver an address
on the political issues of the cam
paign at the annual dinner of the
Ellicott Club.
While Secretary Taft is campaign
ing in the East, his principal oppon-
ent for the Republican presidential
nomination will not be idle. Gov
ernor Hughes will invade Cannon
territory on Saturday, when he will
be the principal speaker at the an
nual banquet of the Union League of
Chicago. The invitation is of a years
standing, and it is likely that Gov
ernor Hughes will take advantage of
the occasion to give further express
sion to his political views.
Several district conventions for
the selection of delegates to the Re-
publican national convention will be
held during the week. The conven-
ton of the Fourth Ohio district will
be held in Sidney tomorrow, that of
the Ninteenth Ohio in Warren on
Wednesday, the Seventh Missouri in
Sedalia tomorrow and the Ninth Mis-
souri, in st. Charles tomorrow. All
of these delegations will presumably
favor Secretary Taft.
The Democrats of Oklahoma and
Kansas will hold state conventions
the latter part of this week, when
delegates to the Denver convention
will be chosen. Bryan is decided
favorite in both of these states and
no other presidential possibility will
be considered.
