Looking for Good Plays.

An organization has been formed in
New York for the purpose of giving aid
10 obscure playwrights. whose dramatic
writings are at present crowded off the
American stage by the importation of for
eign productions This is called the Ma
tional Federation Of Theater Clubs, and
1t proposes to produce once every six
months play by some previously I'M
known author. Probably nine out of ten
people who go to the theater believe they
can write plays. 1t seems an easy thing
to devise series of stage pictures ac-
companied by dialogue that sounds more
or less like conversation in real life, and
II all the dramatic manuscripts now in
existence in this country could be routed
out of desks and bureau drawers and
trunks and other hiding places and piled
together the heap would rival the Capitol
in size. Doubtless some Of these are good
plays, though without any question what
ever the great majority Of them are ut
terly worthless. lacking in form. in
thought. in characterization, in dialogue.
Yet their authors. probably without ex-
ception. all feel that they are worthy and
that they have been kept from production
because of the jealousy of more success
rul playwrights and the favoritism of
managers. or perhaps the perversion of
the public taste.
Good plays are rare. SO rare that man
ayers are in despair at times to find ma
erial for their companies. 1t is idle TO
assume that they would deliberately &c
tbroad for plays II they could get then
rom domestic sources unless the plavs
they get from the other side are better

intrinsically or better suited to the pubic
taste than those they can obtain at ho"ie'
OF course it may be that some managers
go across the Atlantic for the raw ma
terials for plays, in order to rewrite them
and thus avoid the paying OF royaites'
but this is a dangerous practice scarcely
so universal as to limit the home market
for American writings to an appreciate
degree.
Once in a great while play that has
PASSED along from hand to hand and been
rejected by manager after manaSer as
without merit either from literary or
from financial point Of view is finally
produced by the author himself through
the good offices of an angel and proves
a success. thus discounting the Judgment
of the professional play producer. But
these instances are exceptional The
chances are that the National Federation
of Theater Clubs will not find many real
gems of dramatic art among the thou
sands of plays that it is certain will be
production This is not to suggest that
the public taste today is discrimir ating
and high or that the average Of present
stage productions is high. On the con-
trary. certain deplorable tendencies are in
action now, and if as a result of this new
current of wholesome dramatic apprecia-
ton established it will have accomplished
a most desirable result.

The Ordeal.

Oh. Sunday is a day of rest.
When no one makes a noise,
When each one tries to be the best
Among the girls and boys.
Our faces very straight are kept,
We are subdued and grave
And never laugh at all-eXcept
When father starts to shave.
He strops the razor with great glee;
Along its edge he sights;
He throws the lather thick and free
To various depths and heights.
Then some one is obliged to come
His precious life to save.
Somehow he always cuts his thumb,
When father tries to shave.
And then there is a scraping sound
Much like a katydid.
The parrot in alarm profound
Its vanquished head has hid.
He's conscientious to the core,
And resolute and brave.
He has to be all these and more
Or father would not shave!

Fire Stops.

For the protection of life and property
in this city certain street corners along
the car lines have been designated as
fire stops" at which the street cars are
always brought to halt in order to pre-
vent collisions with the fire apparatus
moving hurriedly in response to an alarm.
These stops We're fixed as the result of
several collisions between cars and fire
apparatus, the locations being carefully
studied with reference to the frequency
Of crossing use by the fire companies 1t
would naturally be supposed that "a maxi
mum of protection had been granted to
the fire department by this means,
stops have been ordered at places where
there is really no necessity, as, for eX-
ample, for southbound cars on 9TH street
between the north line of l street and
the car tracks on Massachusetts avenue.
This is a superfiuous stop. inasmuch as
the sOuthbound cars have already been
halted north of the Columbia line tracks,
at a point commanding a full view of all
approaches. In view of the maintenance
of such fire stops this it is remarkable
that a place so frequently used by the
fire companies as Sth street and North
Carolina avenue southeast should have
been left unguarded. 1t was at this point
that a collision occurred yesterday be-
tween one of the fire vehicles and a street
car in circumstances to suggest that pos
sibly the car crew was at fault in not
needing the warnings given by gongs
Had the crossing been officially designat-
ed as a fire stop there would have been
no collision. That it should have been
long ago so designated is proved by a
glance at the map. the engine company
being located on North Carolina avenue
between 9th and 9TH streets, with that
avenue the natural line of the run to
most of the fires occurring east OF the
station. Are there any other dangerous
crossings remaining unguarded?

The State Department.

Thomas 3. Reed. who said so many
good things. once described "a statesman
as "a politician who is dead" How true
that is. and how often has the truth been
verified, Men held up while alive as the
sum of danger and eXtrenlism in cOnnec-
ton with public affairs have been held
up when dead as glorious specimens OF
ability and patriotism.
Those Directing to Mr.. Bryan for Sec
rotary of State declare that he has no
qualifications for the place; that his forte
is oratory and agitation. That his
temperament is too warm and emotional
for the management of the government S
foreign affairs.
Strangely enough, this very same thing
was said about Henry Clay. John Quincy
Adams was warned AGAINST Mr.. Clay, on
the ground that, though great party
leader and orator. the Kentuckian was
the very sort of man to make ducks and
brakes of things in the State Department.
II was pointed out that we were only ten
wears away from the second war with
Great Britain. which Mr.. Clay. more than
any other one man. had helped bring on.
and that his prejudices were still deep
and strong against that country and its
DcDDtt- anu fnlSNl ltdlt Hiii ihto a oANii0
der of some kind in dealing with our
British relations.
Gen. Garfield received a like warning
AGAINST Mr.. Blaine who was another
brilliant PARTY leader and orator Steer
clear of him. In the State Department
he would prove a bull in china shop;
and Uncle sam had no crockery to spare
Both warnings went unheeded, and both
and Mr.. Blaine carried themselves we'll
in the State Department: and Mr.. Blaine's
attitude toward our commercial problem
with Central and South America is still
an Inspiration to those charged with it's
study and solution.
Today Secretary Clay and Secretary
Blaine are referred to with admiration
and quoted by those who are warming Mr..
Wilson against Mr.. Bryan. What a mis-
take it would be to put brilliant party
leader and orator into an Office once held
by such skilled and successful diplomats
as Henry Clay and James G. Blaine,
Give Mr.. BRYAN chance. Neither Mr..
Clay nor Mr.. Blaine was a more popular
man in his day. Powerful as both We're.
neither dominated his party completely
as Mr.. Bryan has his. Although three
times defeated for President, he has at
last the satisfaction of seeing Organism
accepted as the democratic wear under a
leader he himself nominated and helped
elect He has made enemies. and in
evitably Will make more, but his protege,
Mr.. Wilson, has hailed him as the great
est democrat of the period, and this war
rants many Of Tr. Bryan's admirers in
feeling that a tender of the leading place
at Mr.. Wilson's disposal should be made
him.

Toasting the Defeated.

Some of Mr.. Cannon's friends propose a
dinner for him-not a partisan function.
but one in which his admirers of both
parties may join and testify to their feel
ings for the man and veteran legislator.
1t is a capital idea. and should be car
ried out Mr.. Cannon has served in the
House for nearly forty years. the greater
part of the time with distinction Both on
the floor and in the chair he has acquitted
himself well of difficult tasks That he
has made mistakes is but to say that he
has had many things to do and has done
them. Mistakes inhere in responsibility
and the necessity for prompt decision.
Had he been invariably right. men. in
stead of admiring him. would be afraid
Of him. Your piece of perfection lacks
red blood and humanity Mr.. Cannon. be-
ing human. has many friends.
But he is now to retire from office Fate
has decreed 1t. First. he lost the speaker
ship. and this is followed by the loss of
voted for other policies than those for
which he has stood. and still stands.
And yet If this dinner is given we shall
hear him highly praised. Not only as
good intentioned man, but as one who has
SOutl IdIStiy 10 the PUBIC SOOQ his
official career will be pronounced worthy
of study by young men, and very much

Mr.. Taft also is having an experience Of
the same kind Although the country Las
just voted for his retirement, many COM
pliments are being paid him. Where poll
ticians gather. literary men and men Of
the world gather, and churchmen gather,
Mr.. Taft is a toast. All agree that he has
done we'll in the White House, and many
express regret that he is not to remain
Some very warm testimonials to his abil-
ity. patriotism and performances are
heard, and are sincere.
This sort of thing is not new in our af-
fairs. Indeed. it is an old story Public
judgments are not always private juog-
ments. We often vote against those we
highly appreciate. When Thomas b. Reed
as Speaker was revolutionizing the rules
of the Fifty-frst House, a new member
carried away by the scene on the floor
denounced him to an old member stand
ing near Both were democrats Terrible
fellow agreed the old member II wish
we had somebody like him on our side"
1t is all in the days work Those who
enter politics should stock themselves
plentifully with everyday philosophy. For
tunately for both Mr. Cannon and Mr..
Taft they are we'll supplied. They have
hearts for any fate.

means. Everybody understood that, anC
Tammany's allies did not object. They
closed their eyes and opened Their
mouths. and accepted all that Tammany
offered. They were mighty glad Of Tam
manys company and bounty.
But no sooner is that chapter closed
than in the new one opened Tammany is
swatted between the eyes by it's recent
allies, and challenged to a fight for its
life. New York city is to elect a mayor
next spring. and, naturally. Tammany
wants a man of it's own. or .one it can
control. chosen The Tiger considers the
city. its, lair and INSISTS On making its bed
to suit itself. ~ Z
The allies object hey see difference
between Tamniany as worker in THE
national and Tammany as a worker in
the local field. 1t is all right for the Ii
ger to help elect a President and share
somewhat in the fruits of victory. but all
wrong for it to, propose a candidate for
mayor. and take up position near him
after election. In the one case Tammany
is a patriot, and a helper for good gov
eminent. In the other it is selfish
and corrupt spokesman. and menace to
the community.
Iammdny Is unable 10 see tnlS OlI1eT-
ence. What is so very clear to the allies
is Opaque to it As it believes, 1t Is the
same organizatio all the year round and
every year. Why should 1t be jollied and
patted on the back in one engagement
and lambasted and denounced in an
other?
The matter recalls too wildly for COM
fort the relations that existed between
Fagin and the Artful Dodger. The DOdg-
er did not change in his nature. though
there were times when he was more in
dustrious and successful than a. others.
When he was all alive. and brought in a
large supply of purses and wipes which
the pockets of unsuspecting old gentle
men had yielded up. his boss was proud
of him and praised him; gave him an
extra portion of grub and ale. But when
the Dodger appeared to loaf on his job,
or to hold out some of his pickings for
his 1 use, he was roundly berated and
threatened with the police. Thus doth
truth support fiction.
