CENSOR OF THE sTAGEa

II He question Of what are proper. plays to be
u presented at theatres and the alleged de-
generacy of the stage is being widely discussed
in New York city and elsewhere. Philadelphia
recently has been stirred by the presentation of
the opera Salome despite the protests of persons
representing large part of the community.
In New York, the theatrical managers had
row with one of the leading newspapers and in
accordance with the frequent opinion held by
the uniformed that the newspapers can be
coerced into doing as the theatrical managers
think they should do, the advertising of the
theatres was Withdrawn from the columns of
the paper Since then the newspaper marked
for the theatrical managers wrath has opened
fire certain plays with the consequence that
the entire matter is being widely considered.
Newspapers that perfectly free and unham-
pered in their utterances are joining in the
discussion The result will be bad for the the
atrica managers.
In addition, the Roman Catholic Arch
bishop, of New York, has commented adversely
on the general tendency of the stage as seen in
New York and this is another blow at the man
ayers. They we'll know that if the Roman Cath
Ollie authorities put certain of their plays under
the ban the patronage of the offending theatres
will fall off considerably. Various opinions
expressed about the matter. The writers of
salacious plays frankly confess that THE people
want them and they write to suit the people
and to swell the receipts of the box office. One
view is that the people who object to the plays
should keep quiet, smother their objections and
say nothing for fear that talk about the play will
send people rushing in droves to see the thing
talked about. And this is what did happen in
Philadelphia.
1t is entirely unlikely however, that directors
will cease protesting. There will always be an
element in the community that desires to see the
kind of plays complained of, just as there is an
element that wants to see punished at the
whipping post or who would gather to see
real murder on the stage, who would rush to
see the torture of one person by another
1t is also true that large part of every COM
munty does not attend such plays. Many peo-
pie are seldom inside theatre and many do not
90 at all The character of the plays does not
affect them at all because the plays do not come
under their observation.
1t seems quite likely, however that in the not
distant future in the large cities theatrical cen
sors will be appointed No one will expect the
stage to reform itself 1t will be reformed if at
all by the law in the person of censor

The body of the shadower, who now
seemed to have been really the shad-
owed, was examined and the clothing
searched carefully for evidence of his
identity. On the body a number Of
scars were found, and the clothing
was bare of any evidence whatever.
Sess'ch was made for the man who
had killed him, but he was not found.
The ground was examined for his
tracks, but it was not Of a character
TO receive impressions, being coarse
and covered with dead leaves. Some
were surprised that the bullet found
in the tree was Of the same caliber as
those Of the strangers weapons, both
being 10 caliber. But in that country
everybody carried a 45 caliber re-
volver.
People were divided between sever
al opinions. There were those who
maintained, as appearance indicated,
that the stranger had been killed by
an enemy. There were those who be-
lieved the man had committed some
crime and feared retribution till he
imagined he was followed and had
eventually killed himself. A third
class believed that punishment had
been visited upon him by the ghost OF
some one he had wropged.
OF course every effort was made to
induce Eunice Parks to tell what she
knew-if. indeed, she knew anything.
She did not admit that she knew any
thing and would tell nothing. She
was much affected by the strangers

Editorial
Opinion

Dutch and Swedes in Pennsylvania.
The placing of tablets to the Dutch
and Swedes who preceded the English
in PHILADELPHIA. and which is regarded
by some as "a belated but proper honor
TO pioneers whose services have not
been generally recognized" recalls some
facts of history which OF late years
seem neither to be recognized nor re-
membered. One of these is that a
trihing change of circumstance would
have STAMPED the Dutch rather than
the English character upon this ma
ton. Tho Shifts in war and diplo-
macy" which transferred the Dutch
possessions to the Duke of York settled
this matter for all time, and one can
only speculate now over what might
have happened If this transfer had not
taken place or If the disposition Of the
Dutch had been postponed to a later
period. However, 1t is a fact worthy
Of remembrance and recognition.
The Delaware river was discovered
by the Dutchman Hudson, who named
1t South river. The river which now
bears his name he called North river.
There were Dutch settlements along
the Delaware before the coming of the
Swedes. and they left their mark In the
form Of a fort at Gloucester. When
the Swedes came and settled perman-
entity it was AGAINST the protest of the
Dutch. who later swooped upon them
from New Amsterdam, and, in "a deci-
sive but bloodless campaign" captured
New Castle and Wilmington, which put
an end TO the empire of New Sweden.
In PHILADELPHIA and throughout Penn
svlvania there are many more survi-
vcls of the Dutch and Swedish settle
ments than is generally supposed, and
large numbers of people in the state
are direct descendants from these
pioneers. Penn was friendly with
them: they were a people who pos
sessed sterling qualities; they were
patient. they were Industrious, they
were brave. and the commonwealth
which both the Dutch and the Swedes
once dreamed Of possessing does we'll
to remember them in these later days
and te do something TO perpetuate the
memory of their struggles and their
achievements

COUNTRY LIFE.

contains some suggestions that are we'll

ably be continued. Considerable fun has been
poked at the Commission on the theory that the
commissioners intended ito uplift the farmer"

citizens, needed uplifting. On the whole, the
farmer is doing very we'll and it is quite true
that there is no necessity of telling him what he
should do any more than such necessity exists

mission have often been discussed by farmers
