Esther Griffin White Argues
Drama Existed Before Church

Forgetting that Christ said-''let
him who is without sin throw the first
stone"
Makes Comparison.
Mr. Kenworthy betrayed his unso-
phistication and lack of the remotest
knowledge of the theatre when he at
tackled stock companies. Stock com
panies bear the same relation to the
general theatric profession as the reg
ular church service does to the class
of religious vaudeville known as the
revival.
They afford harmless and diverting
entertainment to many thoroughly
moral married men and women who
endure each other because they must
and who seek amusement both at the
theatre and in the church.
The writer holds no brief for Mr.
Omar Murray, but it might be pointed
out that Mr.. Murray has done much
for the town in the way of furnishing
it clean and legitimate amusement
has built two theatres costing many
, thousands of dollars and has thus con
tributed to the prosperity of the com
munity.
Points To Taxation.
| 1t might also be pointed out thai
churches don't pay taxes, theatrica
property does. Sure. the churches have
stopped their services to let the revi
val have full sway.
But not until after a guarantee O

The writer has a wide acquaintance
among theatrical people of all classes

much kinder, much more charitable

Esther Griffin White, a dramatic and
art critic whose reviews of plays and
observations on paintings have at
tracted more than local attention, in
the appended article comes to the de-
Tense of the theatre and takes excep-
ton to statements made in an attack
on the drama in a sermon last Sun
day by the Rev. Mr.. kenworthy.
Editor Palladium:
AS a theatrical writer for the local
papers for the past six or eight years
will you permit me to comment upon
the ridiculous. preposterous, false, Sill
ly and misleading statements about
the theatre made by the Rev. Truman
kenworthy in his sermon as reported
in your last evenings issue?
In the first place Mr.. kenworthy Is
entirely unqualified to make remarks
about the theatre as it is in this city
or any place else. 1t is to be doubted
If the reverend gentleman ever has
been in a theatre for straight the
atricaI performance in his life
And If he has, he must have haunted
the purlieus of the burIesque houses
since his remarks are evidently based
upon conceptions and conclusions
| drawn by an attendance upon the vari-
sties.
For they could not possibly be ap
piled to the conduct of the legitimate
theatre in Richmond or otherwise.
Drama An Old Art.
The great and noble art Of the
drama was practlsed long before the
church was founded and it can no
more be divorced from the life of hu
mainly than the practice Of religion.
There are abuses in the modern the
atre But there are also abuses in the
modern church.
| To Judge an art or profession by
one or two Of its ignoble opponents is
as unjust as to judge the church by
the numerous sinners within its gates
At least it can be said of Mr.. Nat
| Goodwin and Mr.. De Wolf Hopper
| (who it is a safe bet Mr. unworthy
has yet to see) that they We're decent
enough to marry and divorce their
women.
They didn't, as did the notorious
young minister of Massachusetts, frs
seduce a member of their cOngrega
ton and then poison her when ht
wanted another woman.
Draws Parallel.
This clergyman was translated tt
Paradise by the route of the electric
c. air. Still nobody thinks Mr.. kenwor
thy is going to seduce and poison
some member of his congregation
just because the minister in Mass
achusetts did.
The Rev Mr. Hinshaw, now Ian
gushing in the Indiana State peniten
tiary for numbering his wife with {
pistol, is considerably worse, in thu
opinion of society at large, than {
member of profession who divorce:
his wife when he wants to get rid o
her-at least the latter doesn't shoe
her through the heart and pretend it:
burglar
1t is true that the church in thi
city, whose pastor went wrong few
years ago. threw him out with a pal
of tongs. To be sure That is the wa.
of the church Kick EN- out when the.
fall by the wayside.

TRAVELLERS GO

BIG DELEGATION OF UNITED
TRAVELLERS FROM FARGO WILL

A big delegation Of about thirty
members Of the Fargo council No. IS
Of the United Commercial Travellers
will leave by special train this evening
for Mankato, Mimi, to attend the n
nual session Of the grand council Of
the jurisdiction of Minnesota and
North Dakota.
This convention is expected to be
especially interesting to the Fargo
council boys, as one Of their number.
William E. Grasse, will probably be
elected grand senior counsellor of the
grand council. This is indeed a great
honor and the Fargo knights of the
grip are anxious to have one Of their
representatives at the head Of the or

Bill Grasse has been a loyal United
Commercial Traveller for many years.
He has now filled all the chairs in the
grand council with the exception of
the highest place, for which he Is next
in line. At the grand council session
at Crookston last June Mr.. Grasse was
elected grand conductor, which placed
him two places from the top. Within
the last few weeks, however, the grand
junior counsellor resigned on account
of overwork, SO Mr.. Grasse succeed
ed to the second highest place, which
puts him in line for the elevation to

year before he expected 1t.
There is some talk Of a split of
North Dakota and Minnesota at this
time as it is said the North Dakota
councils feel that they should be in
dependent in a jurisdiction of. their
own. Should this go into effect Mr..
Grasse will not be elected head of the
grand council. However, many feel
that the split may be avoided until a
later date so as to give North Dakota
a chance at filling the grand senior
counsellorship while the affiliation ex-

The supreme court upheld the deCiS-
ion Of Judge Pollock in the famous
Clara B.. Schmidt Russell case against
the city Of Fargo, in which Mrs. Rus
sell tried to enjoin the city from inter
fereing in repairs that Mrs. Russell
wanted to have made on her block at
the corner of Fourth avenue north and
Broadway.
The city commission claimed that
the building was too unsOund to allow
Of its being safely repaired and ord
cred the sidewalk fenced off to keep
pedestrians from being injured should
the walls fall. Judge Pollock upheld
the commission, and the action of the
local judge is now upheld by the high
est court in the state.
J AS the building n be repaired,
1T is probable that it will be replaced
with a new structure, as the corner
lis a valuable one, and 1t would be an
Expensive proposition to let it stand
idle. The syllabus Of the case is as
follows.
CLARA B. Schmidt Russell, plaintiff n
appellant, VS..
tCity of Fargo, a corporation, ct al, de-
! PENDANTS and respondents.
l. Evidence reviewed and held: a.
tthat it is not shown that the building
involved in this litigation had deterio-
krated so per cent in value; b, the evil
tdence, showing that the condition Of
1.-THE building was such as to endanger
kthe safety Of pedestrians on the ad-
I~ioining sidewalk, prepOnderates.
2. When fire limits are established
lin a city, within which buildings Of
certain classes may not he erected, a
different rule relating to the power Of
the city applies to buildings of such
classes erected prior to the establish
ment Of the fire limits than applies to
Ethose subsequently erected.
3. The owner Of a building erected
pwithin territory subsequently included
Ewithin fire limits acquires a vested
kproperty right therein, Of which he
rcannot be deprived without some law
bful reason.
4. The owner Of a building holds it
subject to the right Of the public to
!prescribe reasonable safeguards and
regulations for it's protection, and the
Interests of the individual must in such
case give way to the requirements nee
tessary for public safety, but it must
tbe clear that the safety of the public
bmakes action necessary, and the right
of the owner in his property cannot be
sacrificed on mere guesSWork or sur
Emise.
5. The proper test as a basis for
action by the authorities in protecting
Epedetsrians from falling walls or sim
liar dangers is not the percentage of
deterioration, but rather the ability
and willingness Of the owner to make
the structure safe.

scribes the powers of city councils
