The Albany, Ga. Herald takes oc-
 casion to remark that whenever pro- hibition fails to prohibit the people of the community are to blame. There S nothing new or startling in that as- sertion. The expression, "the people, means all the population of a commu- nity, and If none of them violate the prohibition law it will of course be observed. The better way to express 1t would be to say that when prohibit tion fails to prohibit 1t is because the people do not want the law enforced.

Decline of the Stage.

Nashville Banner.
 With Booth, Salvini, Irving, and now Coquelin slead there is not left to the stage of either Europe or America an actor worthy to be cIassed with the great lights of the stage that have gone before. Richard Mansfield was died who approached the highest de- gree of excellence. AHe was hardly in the class of those mentioned, but he, too, is gone and there is none left with so much as an international reputa- tion
 This Is true at a time when the the- atre is better patroniZed than at any time in the past, and the profits of the actor are greater: The treason. may be some unaccountable dearth of talent, but there may be an underlying cause that has produced this dep1orable ef- feet, at least So faI as this country is concerned. The taste of the age is frivolous. The so-called musical com edy that is a mixture of nonsense. bad music and displays of female nudity attracts larger audiences than the le- gitimate drama. The world now is mixing money madness with low taste. Managers put on the kind of plays that will draw and the public patronizes those that furnish excitement and rol- licking fun. The stage reflects in this respect very much the same public journal not only pussible but popular.
 The attention now given on the stage to spectacular effect may also have had a depressing influence on the production of great actors. Stage scenery of today is as much in advance of what 1t was fifty, or even twenty five years ago, as the actors then liv- Ing were in advance of those now be- fore the public, and 1t may be that these facts are in the relation of cause and effect
 Whatever the reason, 1t is 6 matter of regret that the stage does not keep up to it's former high standing. Pos- sibly the future will show an advance both in the art of acting as well as of scenic effect

THAT OFFER TO ROOSEVELT

The Lancaster, Pa., Intelligencer is disposedY to look with favor on the proposition made to Roosevelt by a Connecticut snowman, offering the for mer a munificent salary to join his show and do heroic stunts. It notes that there are those who think the acceptance of such an offer would lower the dignity of the Presidential office, but, 1t adds, ''on more deliber- ate consideration some may discover really good reasons why man of the fortunately rare and singular Roosevelt type should consider such a suggestion. Why should a heroic Rough Rider, who jumps his horse before a camera, and otherwise per forms so continuously and spectacu- larly balk at the show business with an assured weekly salary more than five times the increased salary just voted to his successor? It is true that Mir Roosevelt has an appointment to meet the wild beasts of South Africa, and that 1t would hardly do to cancel that engagement and disappoint an observant and wondering world, but the Bridgeport party will no doubt be quite willing to hold his offer open, and may even add a menagerie to the show, so that the Roman emperor who slew lions in the arena may find a prototype under the new imperial ism.'

4 MORNING THOUGHT

Conservation rises to. lofty heights when We abandon ourselves to a burn

 Lofty shall never forget scene
 Dame Convent, in Milwau- kee. The chief actors in this pathetic scene were James D. Cunningham, po- lice magistrate of Chicago, and his ton the necessity of following the im- pulse, but none can question the sub limity of the act. For almost half an hour 1t seemed, he held her to his her beautiful, upturned face. Then he clasped her in his arms as If to take her from the waiting nuns. When they finally took her in charge an and d and the great gate flew to its fasten- ings the magistrate buried his face in his arms against the wall. and tears streamed down his cheeks. It was riage, so overcome was he by his feel ings. Miss Cunningham came from her home to the convent to take the veil of the Sisters of Notre Dame. She in case of fatal illness. The young woman acted with great courage, but could not keep back the sobs and tears when she said her last goodbye, papa!"
 The daily wage of honest toll is the unit in legitimate wealth. The Rocke- feller estate is now at the billion dol- lar mark: If Uncle John D. were. an honest toiler. getting $1,O00 every day, he'd have to work about 2.773 long years to amass his fabulous wealth. In other words, had he started S72 years before Christ was born, and had gotten S1 1000 every day until now, he would have just reached his present wealth. It's simply too dazzling to be exactly honest.
 in this remarkable age of heart-ex- posture, when all is being brought un- der light surcharged as with radium may We not ask: After all, is not everybody about as bad as anybody?" But we must try to keep from the re- pinings of the mere pessimist and the employment of the detestable charac- ter-critIc.
 Men talk of the logic of events. Here Is the logic of events. They talk of the Nemesis. Here Is the Nemesis of history. Everything which falls in with the Supreme plan Is forwarded and leads on to noble and vaster is- sues; everything which stands against those issues passes into silent decay under their awful impact.

It is stated that Mir. Taft is anxious to have the matter of Crums appoint ment as collector of the port of Charleston disposed of before he be- comes President, Plainly he doesn't want to get such a dark brown taste in his mouth at the outset of his term, but whatever may be his wishes we hope the Senate will refuse to confirm Roosevolts action in the matter.
