"Human Hearts"

Il
good toa community. Some of
the greatest sermons ever
preached against evil deeds and
association are embodied in the
plays of the stage. The lesson
Of life is presented to the
listener in a way that makes
an impression on the mind and
gives him food for thought
While the spectator is listening
to the text of the play, his
visual sense is being attracted
by seeing the scenes enacted
before his eyes, thai are balns
described in the words to which
he is listening.
In such a play as "Human
Hearts" which will be shown at
the New Theatre Thursday,
Jan. Goth, the contrast between
virtue and vice is sharply
drawn. The author has not
minced matters in drawing his
characters, and as the Incidents
of the play arc based on real
occurrences, he IS not had to
draw upon his Imagination to
invent a motiv for Human
Hearts" J"
The characters of "Jean-
nette" and "Freaerick Arms
dale" in Human Hearts should
be carefully studied by every
one. We meet their proto-
types in daily life, in nearly all
large communities. How often
do we see men and women who,
with all the advantages of edu-
cation, comfortable homes, and
the loving care of parents and
friends, still go astray, and
sink lower and lower in the
social scales, until they reach
the lowest depths Of degraaa-
ton. We meet them every
day.
Another novel character
drawing in this play is that of
"Jem Mason;;" a man born
amidst the lowest surroundings,
with no advantage in carly life,
knowing nothing of the differ
ence between right and wrong;
a criminal because he has had
no opportunities to be anything
else. But here is a character
that consoires to better things.
The inhel ent instinct to raise
himself above the level of his
surroundings is lying dormant,
but, when the realization of
the difference between right
and wrong is brought home to
him, he chooses the proper
path.
The president admits that he
intends to with hold patronage
from all representatives and
senators who oppose measures
favored by the administration.
Ii an Iowa senator or represent
a i've votes agains tthe shipsub-
sidy bill, in accordance with the
wishes of his constituents. Mr..
Taft will refuse to appoint a
postmaster at his request. If
he voted against the Infamous
Aldrich tariff bill in an effort
to protect his constituents from
extortion, he must recant and
bring forth fruits meet for rep
enhance before his recommends
ations will be considered. And
Taft actually believes that he
can coerce honest members of
congress BY such means! Good
Gol! 1t does nor seem possible
that such a man could have
been elected president of a free
people. And he could not had
his real character been known.
