morning for Charlottesville. Va. where
this afternoon they VIII participate IN

A pilgrimage to Monticello filed all
with joyful and reverendel thoughts
and made many Of them more deter
mined than ever that IL the future the
graves of other signerS shah be made
the object Of respect. The tomb OF
Jefferson is the only Mecca today for
Americans who would honor a signer
of one of the most famous documents in
history.
President Taft sent a bouquet OF flow

susceptible of deliniation on the stage.
But the most notable defect of criti-
cism, like the quotations here set forth,
is that it glozes all the faults and en-
larges all the virtues of actors long lost
to sight, but to memory more precious
than good Judgment. Thus-Mr Booth
may have been the best Richelieu the
stage has ever seen. But the chances
are heavy against anybody's knowing
whether that be true or false. Mr..
Winter cannot possibly remember to
any dependable degree And the'likeli-
hood is all against his conclusion if he
can remember.
Because acting like all the arts
even including sculptures steadily

ability, of stage effort of highest
achievement, is today beyond anything
that average in any earlier age. Proof
of it, Here is one proof-that this
very Edwin Booth, whom we all revere
so unquestionably for the things he
did rather than the things he didn't do,
used to finish his performance of Rich
ard III so hoarse that he could not cry
"a horse. A horse. My kingdom for
a horse" but could only gasp it. In
other words, in an essential to round
ed, full performance-the proper care
of his voice-he was so improvident
that he could not even speak all his
lines.

WHAT IS 1.-THE IDEA BEHIND
PENITENTIARIES7"

Some time ago the Chicago Inter
Ocean INDUCED its wit at the expense
of a serious movement for the better
ment of methods In the Iowa State
penitentiary at Fort Madison. These
columns undertook to set forth the mis-
taken kumor of such a course, under
the heading of at Is to Laugh, No Mat
ter Who Suffers" Now comes the
Inter Ocean with an answer:
''Since Warden Sanders is attempt
ing honestly to solve a grave problem
according to his light, his effort may
deserve more dignifed consideration.
so let US look seriously at the penal
problem presented by this uplift Iowa
warden
"The law is emphatic in denying
that IL ever cOntemplates vengeance.
But despite this emphatic denial there
IS an underlying element Of vengeance
IN the law. If this were not true. why
hang or electrocute a criminal when
life Imprisonment would protect So
cfety as we'll? But, dismissing the
question Of vengeance, it seems sure
that the idea behind penitentiarfes
rests upon the conservation of the
safety of society. Prison
statistics prove that penitentiaries
have small success as reformatories.
The best penitentiaries, IL is generally
admitted by penOlogists, are schools
of crime from which men usually
emerge worse than when they enter
ed Convict life is essential
y and terribly tragic. The good Of
society demands that IL be terribly
and essentially tragic. Penology that
Is Intelligent as well as humane does
not contemplate the turning OF penf-
tentiaries into places Of pastime and
amusement And basketball seems
hardly an adequate penalty for rob
berry, or bean bag for murder"
= II
But it is a fair brief Of all that is said.
And it is, in itself, its own answer
Friends of reform in American penal
institutions will not have TO say much
more than its opponent here says in
''the best penitentiaries, it is generally
admitted by penologists, are schools Of
crime from which men usually emerge
worse than when they entered"
Punishment is an incidental to i'm
prisonment, not the main factor.
Strength, new strength to combat
temptation, should be the prime object.
If severity would stop crime the Eng
lish would have abolished theft when
they chopped off mans head for steal
ing a pig, and the Orientals would have
come to the same fine result when they
burned out a mans eyes for stealing a
pin. But in neither Jurisdiction did
thieving stop. No more viii crime
stop anywhere because the punishment
prospective is essentially and terribly
tragic"
There is only one way to make men
better-to make them stronger. Warden
Sanders may not have found the way,
though to this judgment he is on the
right track. But it is certain the Inter
Ocean and the old-time penitentiaries
have not found it.

A<OONSHINE IN DRAMATIC
CRITICISM.

The New York newspapers are filed
with it these days concerning acting.
Mr.. Mantell, an earnest, fairly compe-
tent, reasonably intelligent actor of a
distanced school, is now presenting

and Mr.. Sothern, equally earnest, more
than competent, and more than reason
ably intelligent, has acted Richelieu.
Wherefore there is much of such talk

This is, of course, from Mr. Winter.
Whatever is old is vital" has Gin
herent majesty of soul" Whatever is
modern is "commendable as a serious
undertaking" and rarely anything more.
The Evening Post follows the Tribune
with a fine condemnation of Mr. Soth-
ems company. Each member of the
cast is hopeless" or a "nonentity," or
"grotesque," and "the representation as
a whole" is described as "a melancholy
exhibition Of how not TO do it."
Now, as a matter of fact, there are
few critics of the drama who are com
petent to oppose their judgment to that
of the studious actor. Mr.. Sothern, for
example, is as trustworthy an inter
prefer of history as most Of those who
assail his interpretations. Again, there
are still fewer critics who can carry an
estimate of one performance so steadily
as TO oppose it with justice to another
at some later day-certainly not over
