Does Shakespeare pay?

The resident manager of the Murat
theater in indianapolis will tell you
it does.
For what are termed record break
ing" audiences attended the four plays
of the MISUNDERSTANDING engage
ment in indianapolis the last of the
week.
On Friday night when Romeo and
Juliet" was presented the manager in
formed the writer that it was the big
gest audience that had ever attended
a theatrical performance in Indianapo-
lis.
The Murat is one of the largest the.
aters in this country and was packed
from pit to dome. Every seat was TAX

room was sold
1t was an extraordinary manifesto

For, whether or not you are high
brow" or Glow brow" you admit that
after all, Shakespeare knew how to
write a play.
And if the lines do not interest you
for their literary, poetic and philoso
phical qualities, you must, perforce
be held by the action or the plot.
Shakespeare is not modernized by
Marlowe and Sothern.
His universally is merely empha
sized.
His creations are interpreted in
their human aspect.
His men and women made flesh and
blood
For it is trite to say-but it bears
the repeating-that above every liter
airy, dramatic or theatric considera
ton, Shakespeare is superlatively hui
man.
This is the reason his plays are still
stageable and make an appeal to the
modern, chaotic, play-going audience
despite their stiltedness, their mess oil
theatric ineptitude, their unrelated in
cident and their archaic linguisms.
Strangely enough, apropos of the lat
ter, however, these are interspersed
with such surprisingly modern lines
that an impression is given of inter
polation.
Julia Marlowe is superb actress.
E. H. Sothern is splendid actor
These superlatives are used with
due appreciation of their climatic
meaning, effect and-sad that it should
be-their abuse.

Man More LIQUID Than Solid.

Every fiber and every cell that enters
into the formation OF a living body is
bathed in moisture. by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
alive and are enabled to carry out their
duties. Even the bones, which appear
to be the most solid Of all, owe more
than half their weight to the presence
of fluid That our bodies contain a
large amount Of fluid is. proved in a
striking manner by the blisters which
rise after the infection Of a burn.
Water. in fact. plays a very important
part in the human anatomy. for it is
through its agency that the vital proc
esses of digestion, absorption and the
excretion of waste products are car
ried out To reduce the whole matter
to figures and taking 154 pounds to be
the total weight Of an average full
grown man, it Is said that water alone
accounts for 100 pounds of the whole.

Let Us Have the Primary

Vermont has just passed through as
| near a primary election as the laws of
the state allow and the results can hardly
be called satisfactory. 1t is true that the
| caucuses were properly advertised and
that every Republican voter who wished
had the opportunity to cast his ballot for
a delegation favoring his candidate for
the presidency. But the Roosevelt men
say that had there been primary, Yer
mont would have declared for Roosevelt
neither side can prove their assertions
because we have no method of ascertain
ing how many votes were cast for any
of the candidates 7n the state as a whole.
This is the weakness of our present
system and one we feel should be rem
edied. Under our present system we
use the town as the unit and allow the
man getting the majority of the votes in
the town the victory there. Then in the
state and district conventions the major
ity of the towns decide who the delegates
shall be. The majority of the towns
sometimes lack much of presenting the
majority of the people and we believe
that the people should be given the voice
rather than the towns.
That is all we expect primary law
would accomplish. We do not expect
it will greatly increase public interest in
political contests if the new is sworn off;
nor that it will make the people more
honest or that in itself it will decrease
the use of money in politics. But it will
give the majority of the people of the
whole state the power to determine who
the candidate shall be and we believe
will be fairer method of choosing our
public servaEts.-St. Johnsbury Caledon-

But in his official position Mr.. Barss has
