CARICATURES ON THE STAGE
Appeal to PIaywrlghts to Make Their
Characters a Little Moro
True to Nature.

At the anniversary festival of the
Royal General Theatrical Fund J. l..
Griffiths, United States consul gen
sral, spoke a word of appeal for some
improvements in the drama He
would like, he said. to see a'pIay In
which there was really spiritual
clergyman. an honest barrister. a
straightforward diplomatist and an
American gentleman. Mr. Griffiths'
views have been generally Endorsed
by the press.
1t is acknowledged that diplomatists
are presented on the stage too con-
sistently as creatures of preternatural
cunning, never as men with human
limitations. The popular dramatic
type of clergyman. the muscular. Is
more firing still; every curate is not
the physical equal OF prizefighter

Is like nothing on earth He is neither
a gentleman nor an American. II Is

tinues to be a caricature. and bad

SOMETHING NEW IN EGGS

taurant Menus.

Penguin eggs from South Africa
may soon figure on American hotel
and restaurant menus. Immense mum.
bers Of them are being gathered on
several OF the islands on the southern
extremity Of Africa, and one dealer
down there has offered to introduce
them to the United States II some one
will pay for the transportation OF a
sample case. The eggs easily could
stand the journey. as the fast steam
ers make the run from Cape Town to
Southampton in 10 days, thus bringing
the penguin nest and the American
epicure within little more than three
weeks Of each other.
Ostrich eggs also are being used
as food In South Africa, though natur.
ally to a limited extent, as even there
they do not grow on every bush. In
California and Arizona, where the
ostrich has been acclimatized, these
huge eggs are not less esteemed for
the table. but to eat them generally
is regarded as wanton waste of pos
sibilities in the way of feathers.
California Is less scrupulous about
eating the eggs Of gulls and INJURIES.

told thousands on the Farallone is

to prevent the determination Of these

gulls and terms but herons have been
robbed of their eggs with similar de-
plorable results.

A WINTER DIVERSION"

The fight for dominance between
the progressives and the stand
patters in the Republican party
promises to be particularly
interesting from now until the
meeting of the national conven-
ton. Senator LaFollette. of
Wisconsin. is the acknowledged
leader of the former, while Presi-
dent Taft ssruust. look to the latter
for denomination.
The contest between the two has
now been staged in earnest by
Senator LaFollette's invasion of
Ohil, the presidents home state
and the prospect that it is to be a
vigorous one is indicated by the
posi- tive stand taken by the senator
in opposition to many of the
presidents cherished tenets and
policies.
The initiative, referendum and
recall, especially of judges, have
not found an enthusiastic sup
porter in President Taft. Senator
LaFollette. in his Ohio speeches,
declares them to be- among the
cardinal principles of the progress
ives. The Taft plan of Federal
incorporation and control of trusts
was opposed by the senator as be-
ing ineffective. The present
Republican tariff was denOuced, as
was also the national reserve
association of the Aldrich monetary
system.
1t is thus shown that harmony
in the affairs of the Republican
party for the next six months is to
he a missing quantity. Warren
G. Harding. of Ohio, one of the
presidents supporters andladvisers,
on a visit to the white house,
made light Of the LaFollette in
vasion, expressing the opinion that
it was merely "a winter diversion"
and that the state was safe for
Taft.
1t is evident, however, that
while the words might have Ebeen
pleasing to the presidents ear. he
is not according them implicit
confidence. The news dispatches
state that, notwithstanding cold
and storm, large crowds are
gathering to hear Ithe apostle of
insur Zency and are greeting his
utterances with hearty applause.
II it is merely a diversion, the
president wants to participate in
it, for he has announced that he
will be making a speaking tour OF
Ohio the latter part Of next month.
He undoubtedly considers that a
counter diversion would prove
valuable. ATLANTA Georgian. -
