the career Of MAX REINHARDr, who last
year by his novel treatment OF Its
scenes succeeded in making Romeo
and Juliet" the sensational success OF
the theatre year in Berlin. Think OF
making SHAKESPEARE popular SEN
sation, and In foreign tongue.
1t had been intended to invite GRAN
VILE BARKER to share with his Ger
man colleague the production of these
Shakespearian dramas. Whether or
not he was asked to come here the
present direction Of the season lies In
the hands OF the German stage direc-
tor. 1t might have been some satisfac-
ton to have Mr.. BARKER appear In the
scheme, since he is at least OF the race
which shares the genius OF SHAKE
sPEARE with us. The absence of Mr.
BARKER leaves to German the glory
Of presenting SHAKESPEARE TO the ma
ton which ought to honor him more
than any other except England.
How much greater would have been
the artistic pride OF American theatre
goers in having a native stage man
ager represented in a list that was In
tended TO include the most famous pro
ducers in the world. But no American
was even suggested for place on the
list. The excellent reason for this
omission Is the lack Of single Amer
lean stage manager who has the slight
est capacity TO do more for the drama y
Of SHAKESPEARE than put them before
the public in purely routine fashion.
To impart to them single trace Of
interpretative genius, to vary them
with the least novelty in conception
or presentation Is an achievement In
the theatre OF SHAKESPEARE that no
troubled himself about.
II Is common enough TO speak pat
ronizingly of the frequency with
which the drama Of SHAKESPEARE is
acted in Germany. To say that the
Shakespearlan performances in the
subventional playhouses are mechani-
cal. n matter OF routine and uninspired
by the genius Of the players or the art
of the producers, is perhaps the most
familiar apology FOR the greater fire.
quency Of the performances OF the
ICct In Germany than here and In
England But the rather dishearten-
ing truth appears that after all the
most famous producer of the plays Of
SHAKESPEARE to-day Is MAX REIN.

title to the Philippines would probably
be questioned during the debate and
many things would be said that were
better left unspoken. Leaving out Of
consideration the effect upon any natlen
east or west that might covet the Phil
ippines, the effect upon the people Of
the archipelago at a time when the war
spirit was abroad would not be con-
ducive TO regard for the United States,
which has done more for the welfare
of the Filipinos than was ever done for
any backward people before by their
rulers and guardians The Jones bill
does not contemplate early independ-
ence Of the Philippines. 1t is to be con-
ditlonal and may be some time de-
ferred, depending altogether upon proof
of capacity for self-government under
a Philippine flag. There Is, then. no
reason for haste. and there are sound
reasons for postponing the matter alto
gether until the war fever CONFUSING
so large part of the world abates.

New Jersey for years has succeeded
in running it's State Government with
out imposing direct tax. Now Its
finances have reached n pass In which
more money must be raised and the
Legislature to he elected this fall Is
likely to find the levying Of direct
tax necessary. The Democrats expect
TO control the Legislature and they are
wondering how the public will like the
additional burden.
The public should welcome It. Has
not New Jersey been boastlng of its
great progress2 Do not It's people
realize that in two years it was trans
formed from a hopelessy backward
and VIGOROUSLY reactlonary community
into one of the most progressive
States In the country? Is 1t not cited
as an example OF virtue nowadays by
the same orators who only a few years

Closing the Port Of Vera Cruz.

Mr.. WILSON desires 10 withdraw them

The Retirement of William Barnes.

The Hon. WILLIAM BARNES has sub
tracted himself from that bipartisan
boss ship which Colonel ROOSEVELT has
sighed and groaned over 30 long.
1t is now in the Colonels power to
unite his faithful Progresslyes and a
Republican party that has burned it's
BARNES, against the remaining boss,
Mr.. MURPHY.
Can the Colonel allow himself to lie
surpa ssed in altrulsm or good works
by Mr.. BARNES? Admitting that he was
cause OF irritation in the party. Mr..
BARNES has stepped down. Numerous
as the Colonel's virtues are, he too
alas! is a copious fountain of irrlta-
tion In the party. Doubtless his pas
sionate zeal against bosses will now in
duce him to Withdraw from politics
even II the war TO n regrettable extent
had not withdrawn politics from him.
Remembering his unselfish support
of Governor HADLEY at Chicago in 1912,
who will not expect that henceforth
the Colonel will seek for a man TO con
anu ltdl INC uliu'SN'u i'Fub-
leans and the VIGOROUSLY Embossed
Progressives In 1916?
Meanwhile, 1t Is but justice and the
exacS fact TO say that, apart from his
long devotion to those unregenerate poll
tics from which Colonel ROOSEVELT had
so sudden and Saul-swift conversion,
the Hon. WILLIAM BARNES is a man of
strong and sound intellect, character
and conviction. He is consistent. lie
is truthful. not too common a falling of
politicians He keeps his promises.
lie does not waver or change on ac-
count OF defeat. To the school of po-
. litical belief and practice In which he
was brought up he Is faithful. He has
done the Republican party good ser

he remains in outer darkness In this
time OF new light. at least he deserves
the respect that goes TO a courageous
and steady spirit with no gift Of dotiine
long cherished opinions and no wor
