Mutton production has become

cago Union stock yards assert that
about so per cent. of all the sheep
reching that place are lambs. While
the very nature of things assures us
there always will be mature sheep
sold as mutton, we are constrained to
believe that in the future the demand
for lamb mutton will be even strong

that the demand for lamb mutton Of

pace in learning to consume mutton,

certain prerequisites absolutely neces-

Needed Censorship of Plays.

The police commissioner OF
New York finally responded to
public sentiment and denounced
two plays now on the boards as
immoral. AS usual, the produc-
ers take the high and virtuous
ground that by depicting the vice
of the tenderloin in all its dis
gushing badness they are holding
the mirror up to human nature
and thus serving to impress a
great lesson in morality; but in
these particular instances the at
traction of the plays is so palpa-
bly, to the worst side of the play
goer's character and instincts
that the plea is insincere.
The American stage ought to
be kept free of such filth. 1t is
always difficult, of course, to de-
eide where to draw the line in
matters of this kind, and the
best that can be hoped for is to
leave the decision to the police
authority of a city which ought
to be responsive to public opinion.
But it is obvious that the line
must be drawn somewhere if
common decency is to be preserv-
ed in the theaters.
The tendency of the day is to-
ward frankness, but the stage by
reason of its publicity should
proceed with great caution for
fear that by over-stepping the
mark it serves to pander to de-
praved taste and promote i'm
morality. The New York police
commissioner has done well, but
he might do better by doing
more. The offending movie"
is not more deserving of censure
and the interference of the law
than is many a suggestive per-
tormance in the so called ''legiti-
nate" theater. IN. O. States.
