! vi,
DRAMATIC EDITOR.
Dramatic Editor:
Sir-I think you were wrong in your
statement last Thursday in THE
Plays's the Thing that the divorce
question is not a proper subject for a
play. I think it teaches q spendid
lesson; and everything that teaches a
lesson which is beneficial ought to be
considered as proper subject for the
drama. l.. NJ. j.
Answer-My objection was not to
the lesson the play conveys Few
| lessons can be more useful or benef-
cial than cooking lessons, yet 1 doubt
| whether anybody would admit thai
! culinary recipes are fit subjects for
the dramatist's art. Utility is not the
criterion of dramatic fitness, neither is
morality. These govern in the useful
arts. The liberal arts require that the
subjects they deal with give us a
| deeper, clearer insight into the mean
| ing of natures handiwork. In drama,
for instance, the thing TO be explained
| is human nature Now, nothing can
| explain human nature except what
| ever is true at all times and in all
| places. The evil effects depicted in
| THE Divorce Question" are not an
absolutely necessary result of divorce
in general Such cases NIGHT and
actually DO occur occasionally But
| true drama requires that the results
which are shown MUST occur from
| the causes assumed in a play. True
! drama impresses every spectator in
| every age and every country with
the absolute necessity of events turn
| ing out as they are shown to do No
! body ever doubted that the tragic
ending in Hamlet" was exactly what
] l.
acts involved had to bring about
Hence, when we have seen or read
Hamlet we have gained a most init
mate and true knowledge of human
| nature to the extent that it has been
| shown to us in that play. But when
| we have seen or read THE Divorce
| Question. we surely cannot say that
we know that human nature will al
| ways and everywhere act as the pre-
! posterous parents act in that play.
| This play shows us merely how these
| two abnormal parents acted, whereas
| the real purpose of drama is to show
| us how parents, in general, act. And,
the chances are that the majority of
them would act altogether differently
than the two in question.
To the Dramatic Editor:
Sir: / often wonder why Dante's
great poem is called THE Divine
Comedy" Can you tell the reasonf
S. L.
| Answer-One reason is because. as
Dante himself explains, the ending
is happy, inasnuch as the hero OF
the poem Dante himself) ultimately
reaches paradise. There are other
reasons, if ] remember Alright, but
they do not occur to me now. Per-
haps some reader who knows will be
kind enough to tell.

City Budget Provides.

Councilman W. H. Humphrey, of
the Eighth Ward, declared Wednes-
day the passage of the 1914 apportion-
ment sheet by Council Monday after
noon has removed all obstacles in the
way of the erection of the new fire
engine house for the Eighth Ward.
This will give the homes in the
Peachtree Road residence district
adequate fire protection, lack of
which has resulted in the burning If
a number of handsome places, among
them the James S. Floyd home Tues
day
I'VE expect to begin work on the
new engine house at once said Mr.,
Humphrey and hope to have it ready
for service by July l.
To Have Best Equipment.
THE finance sheet carried an APP
preparation Of $121.O0 for this work,
and with this sum we are going to
erect the finest engine house in the
city and fit it with the finest equip
ment.
The Eighth Ward has had little
or no fire protection, and houses have
been destroyed by fire that could have
been saved had apparatus been near
enough"
The passage of the finance sheet
carrying the appropriation for the en-
CINE house brings to an end a fight
that Mr.. Humphrey has waged FOR
three years for adequate fire prOteC-
ton for his ward. The new engine
house will be located on West Peach
tree, near Fourteenth street.

MY experience as an employee of the county in the
public works department a county policeman going all
the county excavatng contractor and as an
Alderman gives me particular qualifications to serve the

WILL if elected plead ignorance of conditions

My platform of handling county affairs best stated
in word-Economy.
To this end favor modern equipment for the public

Such machinery would enable the county to put the
bulk of the convcts paving which would be lighter
work for them than moving dirt with the pick and shovel
Modern machinery is used by private contractors
everywhere big jobs In my business have found ma
chinery money saver-therefore money maker.
1t is obliged to be the county work.
Fulton County is sadly behind along this line
The county has done vast amount of work in the
past but it has bigger problems ahead and it must keep
abreast OF modern ideas and modern methods.
favor, and if elected County Commissioner will de-
mand, humane treatment of the convicts. Discipline
should be firm but punishment should be cruel The
convict camps should be sanitary know how to make
them sanitary.
I not in the real estate business I am not pri-

In conclusion, truthfully say I not aligned
