Cleaning Up the Theatres.

Mayor Rtyburn of Philadelphia has
announced that immoral and indecent
shows have been barred from PhiIadel-
pima. Mayor Gaynor of New York
closed d theatre first and made q SINH
lar announcement afterwards. Mayor
Fitzgerald of Boston has taken action
which viii doubtless guarantee some
thing approaching dccency in Boston
play houses. Similar steps have been
taken in Chicago. In other words
Mayor Gaynor's summary action in
squclchaG The Girl With the Whoop-
ing Cough" has borne fruit in the 9TH
er theatrical certers ard the public is
to ho congratulated.
The mayors of the large towns and
cities can do much to keep the stage
clean ii they will and their action at
this time indicates that they are will
ing. The general public is entitled to
at least Il few clean places of amuse-
ment where it is possible for man to
take his wife or his daughter without
being ashamed
The growth in popularity Of the uli-
clean play has been phenomenal and
has been fostcred rather than dscour-
aged by powerful theatrical interests
1t is time that they We're shown the
er"or of their ways. Reform of their
personal tastes may be rather more of
a task than the mayors care to under
take, in connection with their other
duties, but it is possible and . COM
parativeiy simple task. to make play
houses where indecent shows are ha-
bitua!ly staged Improbable by closing
THEN doors for periods varying with the
gravity Of the charges. The people
who enjoy clean plays owe Mayor Cay
nor and his brother mayors a debt of
gratitude.

Asia, at half the price of the American
production, but large shipments Oh

articles are being sent in every snip

Already you cotton manufacturers are

Do you gentlemen representing cot
ton growing and manufacturing states
wish to revise the cotton schedule
downward, in view of these undoubted
facts? Think it over. You are build
ing up great industries in the South.
You are now regulating the old Cob

should grow cotton and ship it to
England to be manufactured. You
have advanced away beyond that alb
surd English doctrine In the South
YOU now build your cotton factory

smelter and rolling mill at the mouth

your sawmill adjacent to your timber
stretches. You employ labor and
you are beginning to enjoy the pay
