Always a Way

Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Isaac Moffet of Glassboro told a story
the other day which would seem to
prove that there is something besides
junk in the trite old saying, Where
there's a will there's a way
Some time since, Mr.. Moffet said, he
was talking to an old darky who has
had a lot of steam taken out of him
by repeated attacks of rheumatism,
and during the conversation The holi-
day season and the incidental turkey
We're referred to by the revenue col
lector. At the first mention of the
word turkey the darky's eyes glistened,
and his tongue came out and started
to trail around his face.
dat jes' make me recommended dat
it am about time to git busy" said
the darky, seeming almost to taste the
savory dish. Guess L had bettah be
lookin' up an down de road some"
"It is no better for you this year,
Sam" smilingly replied Mr.. Moffet.
"The turkeys roost high, and with that
rheumatism of yours l don't believe
that YOU can climb very WE'LL
Dat am berry true, boss" was the
prompt rejoinder of the darky. Dis
rheumatic hit me pretty hard, an |
can't hole on like I useter could, but
heaven bress de man what invented
them telegraph pole creepers. "-Phila-

Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.-Sid Hes
ter, the fight promoter, whose efforts
to secure a February match between
Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast have
created something of stir in sport
ing circles, met and conferred today
with Tom Jones, Wolgast's manager.
1t is understood that Hester raised his
offer to Wolgast to $3750, but that Jones
refused.
Nelson has declared himself willing
to accept Hester's proposition, and the
promoter is confident that he can
secure a permit for the match some
place about the bay, but until Wolgast
is satisfied, the fight is unsettled.
Jones said he would return to Los
Angeles tonight. He stated that ne

Club NeVS

CIV ES, am suffragist Being re-
sponsible for a weekly expense
Il account that varies from $4100
to $4,000, according to the difference in
my repertoire and travelling expenses,
l believe the brain that makes this pos
sible is qualified to help decide what
sort of laws shall be passed for the
! governing and protection CT myself
and those in my employ"
The speaker was Olga Nethersole, and
she was replying to a question asked
at the close of her address before the
Friday Morning club yesterday. Her
topic was 1.-The Drama of Today and
Tomorrow"
olga Nethersole, discussing sociologi-
cal problems before an assemblage of
| club women, captivates with the same
| temperamental charm that makes her
pre-eminent as an emotional actress,
| and it was with tears in eyes and
voice that she preached the new gos-
| pei of prevention for all social eVlIs
rather than redemption. In beautltully
rounded phrases she told of an expert
ence of twenty years on the stage, a
long period of study and learning
which taught her that the theater is
not a thing set apart for performances
bv actor men and women, to be viewed
and criticised coldly by spectators,
with a gulf at the footlights that sepa-
rates the two, but rather that it is the
national forum for the discussion OIL
great questions that confront and al
| feet us ALL
II believe the stage today is a pull
pit" she said, from which right living
is preached every night in every city
to immense audiences. 1t cannot be
claimed that all theatrical perform :
ances are teaching the great lessons OF
life, nor do [ dispute that in many
theaters these ideals are sometimes
prostituted, but the tendency in this
direction is only an eddy that must
give way before the main current,
which is for good.
"The theater is assuming it's right
full place in society, and its lessons
are sometimes taught by laugh
when they could not be made to carry
far in the reflection of a glittering tear,
and often by the combination known
as music-drama, or opera-what you
will
1--WE hear much of the tired business
man, of the busy society woman, who,
it is claimed, do not care to hear a
sermon-who crave relaxation and
must have recreation. The old drama
gave this to them, but gradually there
came a demand for something more
than amusement, and while the audi
ence of today still comes to see and
hear material for afterthought is also
required, and this imposes double duty
on both playwright and actor.
"The vital difference between the old
drama and the new. is that the old
amused, while the new not only en-
tertains, but also instructs.
Drama sprang into life in the early
days of the Christian church at the
bidding of the monks, but il has
steaGily evolved, and this in a large
measure has been due to the presence
of women in the audience.
cat first woman's presence at a play
was deemed cause for insult, even as it
! is today when she asks for her right
of franchise and demands to help in
making the laws; but she has gradually
lifted the drama out of the slums of
| impurity, and today has become the
dominant note in the playhouse Wom-
en- write plays for her, actors seek
her approval, and no manager dares

GRIFFITH SUGGESTS
NEW BASEBALL RULE
Would Compel Field Umpire to Re-
main Out of Way Back of
Base Lines at All
Times

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Dec. 3t.-Mana-
ger Clark riffith of the National
league rules committee says there is
one rule relating to umpires that ought
to be changed.
81 don't like to be called a kicker,
said Griffith yesterday, but it does
make me mad to have an umpire
around in the way when you have
good play on and have him step into
it and knock the whole business out.
VERY often [ have seen signals go
wrong because an umpire was in the
way and the players could not see.
"I want them to stand on the outfield
side of the base line and give their
decisions there, the other umpire re-
naming behind the catcher at all
times. 1 think with this rule in force
we could have a whole lot less wrang-
ling than we have now, and that the
people would really get a little better
ball paying for their money"
