melodrama has made rather sentiment

THE CHURCH AND THE DRAMA.
IDavennorf Democrafl


The changed attitude of the church
toward the drama and many other
forms of entertainment, and amuse-
ment has been very noticeable in re-
cent years.
1t is no longer sign of backslid-
ing to go to a theater and enjoy
good play. Dancing by church MEM
bers is no longer tabooed, and play
ing cards in the home, If not encour-
aged, is not as frequently or as ve-
hementiy denounced. "A waste Of
time" is the most serious Indictment
against it.
Attention is called to the subject By
a sermon preached last Sunday by
Frank c. Bruner of the ogden Park
Methodist church Of Chicago - a
clergyman not unknown in the TIL
cities. Mr. Burners subject was The
Beauty and Ugliness in Dramatic Art"
To denounce the drama and give it
no place in the church is to send the
youth to questionable plays in ques-
tionable playhouses,' said Mr.. Bruner.
The early playhouse was the pro-
duct of the church, he continued. 1t
drifted away because immoral drama
took q front seat 1t Is time that it
were brought back.
Within the last five years there
has been a marked tendency toward
higher morality. The stage Is com
| ing nearer and nearer to the church.
Why shouldn't it? The church is a
theater itself The bible is a drama.
There is music. striking personages,
| costumes. dramatic stage settings and

! a great drama is sermon in itself
Many plays teach great moral truths (:
many theatrical performances are mp

are simply entertaining. and some are
/ a waste Of time If not worse If the
| church could teach the public to be
discriminating in Its attitude toward
the theater 1t would be doing it a
great service.

Yesterday the city had school cleo

there are at least $4,000 male voters in

female voters who had right to vote
on certain propositions. the high vote
for school director was less than 5000,
and the total vote on tax measures for
which women were counted promises
to be even smaller.
While each of the three men electd
to the school board comes with the high

election is eminently satisfactory. yet
the fact remains that the people were
at no effort to insure such result. nor
did they as whole take anywhere near
the pains to make sure, that our gov
ernors took in selecting men to fill
vacancies on the local bench.
The point the Evening Tribune
would make is this Popular govern

every candidate for every office must
be elected by direct popular vote.
A short ballot may be q more eff
fective form OF popular government
than a long ballot.

fall 8 human being, or one harder to deal with. If this great afIictlon has you know something of the difficulty of dealing with it. Time was when a lunatic could be chained to tree and left there, summer and winter, as has been done in New England. That day is now past. But much of the old cruel ignorance and indifference still fingers. Society is uneasiiy rubbing it's eyes; but it must wake fully to what is needed for the just and hu- mane treatment of the mentally af- f1icted.
 Something for Nothing.
 The unjust policy of the past has alike injured society and us, the ser wants of society. The effort to get something for nothing. or to get it for less than it is fairly worth, is al- ways a failure. You cannot get bar gains in purchasing the services of men. We ask fairness, not favor. We want to cooperate in making the hos pitals of the state what they ought to be. Our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, may come here. Yours may. We ourselves. you yourselves, may. Who knows what the future holds We want to do our duty. to weed out the unworthy. the unde- sirables who have in the past brought insane asylums into disrepute. But we are worthy of our hire. Do not work us as farm hands used to be
 
 to expend our own resources in carry ing burdens that ought to rest on the state of Connecticut at large.
 Reputation for Hunaneness.
 The Norwich hospital has an en- viable reputation for humaneneSs, in- telligence progressiveness. There are many among it's workers who have earnest zeal in their work who try to do their duty, who want to see their vocation elevated to the high plane where it belongs. If you want high grade employees. you must treat them in high grade way. We have a club house nearly completed, the pioneer of its kind in the country, whose use fitness will be enhanced tenfold with more time at our disposal to enjoy its benefits. Thirty thousand employees in insane aSyIums in the United States ought to be a picked body of intelli women, who take pride in themselves anl seek ever to elevate their calling, instead of being, as they have been in too many cases, vagrant time savers, drifting from place to place, indiffer- ent, unorganized, careless in life, speech and deed.
 You cannot induce clean, intelligent, men to take up such work unless you treat them right. You ought not to ask from them the strain of service and ceaseiess vigilance during hours that a digger of ditcheS would balk at.
 We are proud of the work we are ready to do our duty to our charges and to society, but we do feel that the state should do it's duty by us in giv- ing Us reasonable hours.
 We are ready and willing to do our part. We ask you to do yours.
