stage-Door Philosophy.

Il see,r said the stage-struck youth,
as he scratched his back against the
door lamb, that Three Romeos' has
made a hit. and looks like it would
make good for the rest of the season"
yep" said the stage doorkeeper
as he extracted a straw from con-
venient broom preparatory to cleaning
his pipe Three ROmeOS' seems to
have touched the public's tickle fancy
II rather imagine that me old friend
Bill Shakespeare will get the aerial
news about now and snuggle down
cozily into his marble tomb and snick
err He Will be perfectly willin' to let
those people who objected to his copy
rights on his own work bring home
the Bacon. This is one OF the times
when he can afford to smile around to
his collarbuttOn and let the American
managers go on with the mutilation
Of one of his masterpieces without
murmur.
1T must be some funny play at that.
Them Montagues and Epaulets must
have worse time than formerly
keepin, their family affairs out of the
police court
"Of course. it only stands to reason
that all of the Romeos look alike, the
same as the Three Twins, and I can
just imagine the look of wonder on
the desk sergeant's face when one of
the Rom eos is booked for diStur bin
the peace. He no sooner has him I'M
der lock and key when in comes Miss
Juliet's father with another one, and
wants him enJo1ned from maxim goo
goo eyes at his daughter. And about
the time the legal formaiities are
through with another one is brought
in in the little blue wagon with q
gong, charged with porch climbin'.
Honestly. it do be gettin' in the same
class with a French farce"
Say, you rummyi' interjected the
stage-struck youth, this show has
nothin' to do with Shakespeare dope.
It's a musical comedy"
Il should think it would be- said
the s. D. x, "a musical comedy, and
maybe a touch of burlesque. But I'm
glad to hear that they haven't tried
to improve on the Bard OF Avon's
masterpiece, barrin' Hamlet and a few
other plays. But my mistake was a
natural one. When 1 broke into the

FROM OTHER PENS



The recall of judicial decisions a. MAN
ned by Colonel Roosevelt is in effect moth
ing less than the recall OF constitutions
A constitution is an ordinance OF seIf-re-
straint adopted by a people in a sober
mood In II the people agree that the
power OF the majority will never be in
voked, while that constitution stands 20
DO certain things. Ii is a sort of Magma
Charta or the minority. BY 10 the fnf-
nority is assured against variety OF on
presslve acts by the majority. IL is as
sured. FOR example, against attafnder.
against the taking OF property except b.
due process Of law. against denial OF the
writ OF habeas cOrpus and a variety OF
other things.
OF how much force and effect is this
solemn agreement by the majority to re-
spect the rights of the minority n Colonel
Roosevelts plan is adopted and the ma
Jority obtains the right to interpret as %
sees fit its own promises2
IT is useless to maintain that a coustf-
tuition whose provisions were subject 10
recall in this way would occupy the his
toric place OF the written constitution
among American institutions Nor would
the recall long be limited to state con-
situations If it came to be adopted. A
federal constitution not subject to popular
would soon be felt to BE-
an intolerable obstacle to true popular
government since fl IS much harder 20
amend by existing processes than state
constitutions usually are.-Eew York
Tribune.

operate the trains, for they are the men
who do the work which is worth while;
that conservation of the people is inn
portant, men should be conserved and
elevated; it is easier to persuade than
to compel. a great man must have a
mind above the level of the average,
but to be truly great and noble he must
keep his heart on the level with the
hearts Of men. 1t was the thoughts
along these lines, so happily expressed
by Governor Wilson, that made his ad-
dress stand cut as one of the notable
political numbers of the campaign in

K5-4FA1EAOIN9s
Rouse myself. soul! Forget the sweet
Or the sad nurmurings Of the desolate
AS winged, upward turn and beat
Reslstless against the breeze.
Greet the cold vigor of the winter air
Rushing from out the hollow clamor-
Gus caves of hills,
To smite and backward blow thy hair
And sting thy slow pulse till it thrills.
Fight onl The soil shall nerve thy wings;
Thine the vast, pregnant, lonely plains
and starlit skies.
And rushing winds that bear great things
And thoughts in which great quiet lies.
