is made quite evident by the type Of plays
at the present time. We still have rather
oozy sentiment. because there are mill
ions OF oozly sentimental people In the
world who like 10 pay hard cash for SOFT

IL would be in a three act play-and twice

NEW EXPERIMENT.
often the clever creator OF a full-lcns'h
drama fails dismally when he attempts
10 construct a twenty-minute play. This
has been the case many times with the
attempts OF some Of our foremost dram
artists. and has had more 20 do with the
dearth >of good plays in vaudeville than
the much abused public taste Tabloid
playwrights are made by the same
process as any other sort OF dramaust o.
hard work along specialized lines. Inc
steadily growing demand for such short
plays is creating a supply that, apart
from It's higher artistic level, is marked
by an unmistakable tendency 10 follow
the successes OF the moment IN the
Legitimate" theatres. We have had boss
and high finance and crook playlcts IN
vaudeville in imitation OF boss and hisA
finance and crook and system dramas on
Broadway. and II IS right here that the
vaudeville managers are scratching their
heads in solemn thought just now.
Their situation is somewhat similar To
that Of the theatrical managers In regard
10 next seasons productions, and hangs
upon the important question whether the
social evil pay VIII uId"t VI "H'N'''' -
will offend.
II is a new departure for the vaudeville
houses TO present a play frankly discuss
ing the white slave" question TO audi
ences that come In search OF an evenings
entertainment, but the experiment IL on.
Its reception by the public will afford an
interesting study to the numerous social
workers who pin their faith to the results

medium. The public has taken large
doses Of civic uplift tonic with It's vaude-
Vile: will 1t accept social evil preach
ments in the same tolerant spirit?

BETTER PLAYS.

That they have followed the indications
Of the barometer is most apparent when
one views the changes In the plays pre-
scented at the better class vaudeville
houses during the last few years. Leav-
ing aside farce, one finds constant I'M
provernent in the quality OF the dramatic
one-act play Of vaudeville. For con-
siderable period the one-act dramatic
sketch" was invariably an appeal TO tears
and slushy sentimentality. Some poor
but undeniably attractive widow would
be dragged from her property washtub
and hurled into the street by an un-
scrupulous brute Of a landlord, who never
failed TO cuff the cheeild as the sobbing
urchin quivered before his stormy de-
nunciations Then the whole matter
would be certain Of a sunny solution

PLAYLETS IN VAUDEVILLE
Steady Growth in Dramatic
Ouality-A New Venture.

The question OF what the public wants
in the matter of one-act plays IN vaudc-
Vile has of late come to be a subject
requiring a great deal OF study and dis
elimination on the part Of the managers
Of our large variety houses, for the
present invasion Of the theatres by plays
dealing bluntly with social evils is a far
more complex one TO them.
This situation is interesting, in that IT
appears TO disprove the old time-worn
theory that a vaudeville audience will
stand for" anything that is served up 10
it, and supports the vaudeville managers
contention that the public plus the vaude-
willie writer's make the entertainment what
1t is. All the managers can do is to
watch the barometer OF public opinion.

was tremendously suspicious of ev- erybody who approached it for rights in the water power and forest re- serves and mineral reserves of the westen country, which the federal government still controls.
 There is another thing that has to be done. The. raw materials obtained in this country for every kind of manufacture and industry must be at the disposal of everybody in the United States upon the same terms. I do not mean that the government must determine upon what terms to whoever applies to use them, or to purchase them; that there shall not be discrimination among those who are to have access to these resources. That that is true is merely part and specification of what I have al ready been talking about. If those raw materials are to be used in the spirit of those who would save the whole country alike without regard to the section or individual than our future is assured of an absence of the kind of discrimination which the whole temper of this country has sternly risen against

ARCHBALO SOON ID KNOW HIS FATE Vote To Be Cast in Senate Monday and Impeach-
 ment Expected.
CHARGES TOO SEVERE
Some of the Senators Would Only Dismiss Jmrist and Not Add
 Other Punishment.

Washington, Jan. 11.-The final vote of the senate to determine whether or not Judge Robert w.. ArchEald, shall be impeached, remov- ed from the federal judiciary and disqualified from eyer holding office of honor or trust under the United States. will be taken Monday after noon. This conclusion was reached during a secret judicial session to- day and was later ratified by the senate sitting as an open court.
 During the secret session jt was decided that after the vote on the ar ticles of impeachment had been talk en if a verdict of guilty resulted the senate should then proceed to deter mine the degree of the punishment. Strong pressure is being brought to bear on senators to content them with merely dismissing Judge Arch bald but not disqualifying him in any other manner.
 During the secret session num- har of Republican senator: criticised the character of the articles of the impeachment, contending that the House had gone too far in charging high crimes and misdemeanors in practically every article-charges they claim which were not borne out by the evidence submitted.
 Senator Root offered an order that on the final vote each senator might state the reason for his vote occupy ing one minute in such statement and that within two days from the rem dering of the judgment a senator might file his written opinion to be printed as part of the record. On motion of Senator McCumber that portion permitting oral statements by senators was ordered stricken out and the amended motion car jed by a vote of 40 to 21.

of this country towards the things which they have to handle in the future. If that temper has not changed the things could not have happened which have happened in witnessed within the last two months is not merely political change. It is change in the attitude and judg- hment of the American people. One of the reason why there were not merely two parties contending for the supremacy at the recent election, one reason why the field of choice was varied and multiplied, was that the old lines are breaking where they are oldest and that men are no long CT to be catalogued, no longer to be found by dead reckoning; no longer to be put in classes as i4 their think ing had been concluded and they, were no longer casting abroad for the things which they should think and the things they should do. America has come upon new period of inde- pendent thinking and she is going to think her way out to a triumD DhaEt solution of her difficulties.
 Until the business men of Ameri- ca make up their minds, both to husband and to administer as if for others as we'll as for their own pro fit, the natural resources of this country, some of the questions ahead of us will be immensely difficult of solution. Why is it that the govern ment of the United States up to this moment has not hit upon consistent policy of conservation? It has not. You must be aware that mere pol icy of conservation. It is in one sense policy of conservatism, for it conserves, but no nation can mere ly keep out of use its resources in order that they may not be squander- ed or dissipated. We must devise some process of general use. And why have we not done this? Why. if I am not, very much mistaken, be- cause the government at Washington

M M'VAy'S LIFE |S
 EBb|NG AWAY Condemned Man Now AL most Too Weak to Raise
 Hand From Got.
HIS DEATH EXPECTED
Has Not spoken for Ten Days and Had No N0nriShnrnt in
 Three.

How John M. McVay continues 10 hang on to life is d mystery to those Mho have been attend ng the con- demned man for the pas few days. With little vitality left and with hardly enought Istrength to enable him in his delirum to lift an arm from side to side, the one legged pr scner, who uas four times beer saved from the gallows by Governor George w. Donaghey, cannot last much longer. All tine straps that have held him to his cot for nearly two, weeks have been removed. NO longer does he go through he antics of wild man. Even if his excited brain willed that he should, his strength could not respond.
 At midnighl last night, when Graphic representative called at the jail tc see McVay, Frank N. Hall, sympathetic inmate of the county jail, who has spent seven months behind the bars awaiing trial on a forgery charge, was seated by McVay watch
 ng his every move. The condemned manuttered groans and Hall said that his head movement had been continu- ous as the tick of a clock. McVay l has not slept for many days or nights. He has ;aken practically no nourishment for three days and his life. ,Dr. Brunson says, is generally ] ebbing away.
 For ten days McVay has not spok- en. His eyes appeared to- be set last night. as if in death. His face IS pale and his cheeks sunken. The other prisoners were asleep ln thelr cells on either side of the hall Ill which McVay sleps. It was anything but d pleasant sight. Hall consented to look after McVay during tae nights and w. s. Bud Rhea and the other prisoners care for him dur ing the day.
