Mr.. Barry, he said, amounts to little
more than an accusation of bad taste
ION the part of the writer As such. II

If Mr.. Barry exhibited bad taste in
criticising generally the profession to
which many of his fellow club members
belonged, there was also an open ques-
ton about the good taste Of the club
itself in resenting criticism which was
not considered worth resenting, publicly
at least by actors generally. Those club

obvious and effective way Of dealing
with the situation. To attempt to regu-

IYDIHIDUAL AYD CLUB FIGHTS.

There may be diverse opinions about
the desirability and good taste Of an in
dividual's seeking by Legal process to
prevent his expulsion from membership
in q club organized for social purposes.
II is hard TO see how there can be more
than one opinion about the common sense
and good Judgment Of the Appellate Di-
vision in granting a peremptory writ Of
mandamus ordering the Players 10
reinstate Mr.. Richard Barry as a men,
Der. Mr.. Barry was expelled on charges
that he was guilty of conduct "unbecom-
"ing an associate Of members of an hon
"orable profession" because he wrote a
magazine article which in sweeping
terms declared most actors TO be narrow,
self-centred folk, who never read enough
TO indicate possession Of real minds, and
that education was unnecessary In acting
and real feeling almost always lacking.
The Players was not referred to in
any way. nor was anything said reflect
ing expressly on those actors who happen
TO be members Of that organization. Mr..
Barry set forth these facts in q reply TO
the charges preferred against him, the
gist Of his defence being that the ex-
preston Of his opinion as an individual
in this case was not harmful TO the clue
or directed at any members Of it specif-
cally or in such fashion as to violate the
customs or ethics Of clubdom
This view of the situation has been
upheld by the Appellate Division which
reversed the action Of the Supreme
Court. The decision must be Of interest
and Importance TO every club member
who wishes TO retain the right 10 eX-
press his opinion OH matters likely 10
cause controversy and at the same time
retain membership in his club In the
prevailing opinion Justice Scott holds
that TO warrant expulsion conduct "im-
proper and prejudicial" to the club
should be proved against member
that is. conduct which in some way or
"to some degree tends 10 injure the elan
materially or in reputation, or is con
"trary to and destructive of the purpose

PIRNII ~ DESPERATION

Persia'S reply 10 the Russian ultima
tum is magnificent, but ii Is not likely 10
avail The disparity in military strength
between the two countries is too marked
TO leave ground for hope of effective re-
SiStance \ Russian army can enter
Teheran almost at will. eXpel Mr.. Sinus
ter from his Office. disband Parliament
and establish a government to suit itself.
Persia is powerlesS tO prevent II, ana
other powers will not respond TO appeals
for aid. Great Britain is bound 10y her
treaty with Russia. Germany gives no
sign. France and the other powers are
busy elsewhere or regard it rs no bust
States cannot he expected to meddle
with affairs i'm mid-Asia with which it
has no concern.
Mr.. Shuster'S attitude is nothing less
than heroic. with the heroism Of simple
loyalty 10 duty. He stands almost alone
in an alien land. stalked by asSasSins and
hated by the great oyershadowing power
which seems about 10 crush the govern
ment which he is serving. But he shows
no sign Of faltering. He went there 10
serve the Persian government, and he
means TO serve it to the best Of his abil-
ity so long as II desires him 10 do so.
When il diSmiSses him he will go, but
until then all the threats and menaces
that the north wind can bear 10 him are
disregarded II is a spectacle which
must make Americans glad that Mr..
ShuSter is their cOuntryman.
The act of the Persian National Coun-
Gil is a counsel of desperation. Yet it
was inevitable if that body was TO de-
serve its name Yielding to the Russian
demand would have been equivalent TO
proclaiming to the world that it was 10
longer national council and that Per
sia was no longer a nation. 1t may be
that such is. or is about TO be, the case;
but it is not for Persians to proclaim the
fact. There IS fine touch Of oldtime
heroism in the resolution of the Parlia-
ment, that while Persian nationality
might be slain by Russia 1t was impossi-
BILE for Persia TO commit national suicide.
IN that attitude Persia will command the
svmpathies Of the world. even of the
major part Of those nations whose gov
ernments. for one reason or another. are
conserving to her death.

4 HITTER OF HISTORY.

It was to be expected that President
Tafts frank explanation Of the man
ner in which he dictated his famous
"Winona speech would provoke some
criticism. Explanations rarely explain

Taft frankly admits that the preparation
Of so important an utterance between

plain why so important a task was left
for such q time and consequently, per
haps, invites the charge Of prOcraStina-
tion.
II may therefore he well To recall what
it was that led Mr.. Taft to start on his
Western trip with his more important
speeches unprepared. 4 minor official Of
the government, himself of hardly suffi-
cient importance TO command much at
tention from the head Of the nation, but
IN a position 10 secure that attention be

whom the President then thought Of in
wiling into his Cabinet as Secretary Of
Agriculture. had suddenly preferred
charges against q member Of the Cabi-
net. Those charges were such that, had
they been true, they would have esta5-
lished actual malfeasance on the part Of
the Secretary Of the Interior. They had
been prepared not by the man who pre-.
ferred them but by the legal officer OF
the Bureau OF Forestry, and as has been
said. the man who preferred them was
indorsed by the chief Of that bureau.
Such a situation called for prompt and
serious attention from the President. and
those familiar with events at Beverly
