FROM OTHER PENS
THE CROOK PLAY.

Writing upon the current prevalence
of the crook drama, George Bronson
Howard remarks that one of the rea-
sons for the popularity of such plays
is the possibilities of action which "a
plot contains with a hero defying the
law and J cling hunted ar ! trapped by
detectives and other forces of order.
Another reason is the love of the ordi-
nary citizen for a hero o. -~emendous
resources, reserve powers which may
be called into activity by such strenu-
Gus situations as the thief story affords.
But he hows that still another and
more fruitful cause for real interest in
the crook story may be because OF its
representation of a spirit of revolt
against unjustfiable restrictions or
conditions. The man whose nature is
at war with oppression that he has
found intolerable is a figure with
grains of the heroic in his makeup and
he may even be a crook from the stand
point of the law and still represent an
earnest and justifable rebellion. Yet
the vogue for crook plays is, generally
speaking beyond the stage of the seri-
ously sociological. A rebel is admiral
BILE only when he rebels against injus-
tice 1.-The destruction of laws does
not mean that laws are bad, only that
bad laws are bad" AS most fads are
likely to be, this one is becoming often
distorted ond illogical. AS Mr.. How
ard remarks: mo matte under what
Utopian government we live, crooks
will exist; and many crooks are crooks
because it is the desire of their dis
torted nature. To glorify such as these
is to do mischief and an injustice to
lava biding citizens who obey the laws
not from cowardice but for the com
mon good. That is what the crook
drama is doing today. And it is quite
different from criticising corrupt gov
eminent by pointing out the harm Of
it's existence in forcing crookedness
upon would-be honest men," And this
is where the drama which makes a
thief hero or makes stealing and law
breaking hilarious proceeding is like
ly to exert an unwholesome influence.
Because we revolt at the idea of an
individuals suffering an injustice we
should for the same reason resent his
perpetrating an injustice against the
world of his fellows.-pes Mofnes Reg

RATIONAL OPTIMISM.

In the nineteenth century the data of
pessimism grew enormously on our
hands through the study of the strug-
gle for existence as described by the
evolutionists, writes Horatio Dresser in
the September Nautilus. We now take
it as matter of course that all sur
Viving species have come into their
present estate through struggle, and
we recognize sacrifice as one of the
laws of life. Hence we place more en-
phasis on the conditions of life along
the way, and we say less about an
all-inclusive plan. Then. too our new
interests in the slums, the shops, fac
tories and mines in any place where
man works under hard conditions, has
led US to put a new emphasis on hui
man suffering. The campaign of Elk
posture has enforced the conviction that
there is much that is wrong beneath the
surface. He who would be an optimist
must triumph over a multitude of con-
siderations which have been brought
forward by the pessimists during the
past so years.
Meanwhile a third position has been
maintained. This is neither the best
of worlds nor the worst, it is said, but
whatever the present state of society
may be we should combine to make it
better. Without waiting to decide
about the universe as a whole, the
partisans of this point of view under
take to do what they can to improve
the conditions under which men live.
Hence the ameliorating forces have
grown in efficiency as the years have
passed.

TANNING BANANAS.

In the tariff bin as it passed the sem
ate there are many additions to the
free list as it was framed by Mr.. I'm
derwood and the house leaders. These
additions it is estimated, viii reduce
government revenues by S44 900 900.
This is on the basis of the revenues
from the tariff during the year 1912.
But the senate Democrats believe they
will make up this S44,0O0.OOO by other
additions they have made to the bill.
which include a tax of one-tenth of a
cent a pound on cotton sold for future
delivery; tax of one-tenth of a cent
IA pound on bananas; full internal
reveeue tax of S1.10 a gallon on bran
dies used to fortify wines, and an in
creased surta-- rate on large incomes.
All of these proposed revenue pro-
ducers are defensible with the excep-
ton of the tax on bananas. How the
Democrats can reconcile any tax on
bananas with their protestations of
making a tariff law that will primarily
be in the interests of the plain people.
for whose welfare they profess to be so
solicitOus. is a mystery of the rather
inexplicable variety. They talk a great
deal about showing their regard for the
people by providing for free wool and
free sugar. But in order to recoup some
of the revenue that viii be lost by such
and other tariff changes. they place a
tax on bananas. Where is there
material gain for the people if all or a
part of what they save in one direC-
ton they are compelled to pay out in
another? With many of the really poor
people in the big cities of the country
the banana is now a valuable food,
which is within their reach. The tax
on bananas is a small one, it is true.
But it Will be certain to increase their
price.
But regardless of the size of the ba
mana tax or the extent to which it Will
affect the peoples pocketbooks, the
principle of it is the thing that con-
dennis it most. The Democrats insist
ed that their tariff revision would be
of the downward variety in every par
tfcuIar. In fact the official title of the
Underwood Simmons bill begins with
the declaration that it is an act Ito
reduce tariff duties And yet a tax
on bananas is provided, tax, too,
that was never incorporated in any of
the Republican tariff laws that the
Democrats scored so roundly.
Is this keeping faith with the people?
Assuredly it isn't.

Imperator is vulnerable Scores of
souls went down with the Titanic. One
heroic ships officer was the sole NOR
tai casualty of the Imperator's fire.
The Titanic was in midocean when she
went down. The Imperator was in
her berth in the port of New York
when attacked by fire, alongside an
enormous pier, a safe haven for pas
sengers hurriedly disembarked. Had
the Imperator been at sea, speculation
as to what might have happened is
inevitable and unpleasant, for it took

could be extinguished was by sub

of water to do It,
The instruction of the Titanic dis
aster is that the unsinka BILE ship must
have two hulls below the water line,
one within the other and a consider
able space between. Prompted by the
awful lesson, the owners withdrew the
Titanic's sister ship. the Olympic, from
commission and had her fitted with an
inner hull at an enormous cost. The
builders of the ships had thought them
too big to sink, and had not included
double hulls in the original design.
The instruction of the Imperator
fire is that the unburnable ship must
have more materials of construction
that will not burn than a steel frame
and steel hull and deck plates and
automatic means of detecting and ex-
tinguishing fires. When the Imper-
ator was launched the memory of the
Titanic catastrophe had not dimmed.

lures of the design and construction

lacked, she was heralded far and wide
