passing Of the
Third Floor Back

Passing of the Third Floor Back"
which Sir Johnston Forbes-Robert-
son will present on his farewell visit
to Medford at the Page Theatre on
Wednesday, December 22 (he will
not appear in Ashland), is the ideal
Christmas play and has been called
symbolical, but the symbolism does
not lie so much in the reference to
a Divine character, on which the
press has laid so much stress. as ON
the suggestion of the various human
characteristics portrayed. Not once
during the action of the play does a
thought protrude of Christ, unless it
be in the very last moments in the
attitude OF the slavey suggests adora-
tion.
The play is intensely human, and
to try to interpret any other idea into
1t is to misunderstood the purpose of
the author and the actor. The true.
Significance is in the relation of the
acts of the characters to the conduct
of any other human individual. The
application is SO direct and so obvious
that no one can fail to make it.
The beauty of the acting, the sim
plicity, sincerity of the play stand out
in bold relief in these days of sex
drama. or the effect of the play
upon an audience the innumerable
letters Forbes-Robertso has received
from playgoers, critics, clergymen
and the public in general leave little
doubt. Few plays achieve this. Few
plays make any lasting impression.
Passing Of the Third Floor Back
was first produced by Forbes-Robert-
son in London in 1908. For the fol-
lowing four years he played 1t exclu-
sively throughoutsEngland and Amer
lea, When he began his farewell tour
he did not plan to include this play
in his repertoire as he felt the public
might have had enough of it, but so
many requests were received both in
England and America that he re-
stored it to his repertoire. 1t is one
of the most successful dramas of his
farewell tour.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Christmas Musings.

There are warmer hand-shakings
on this night, wrote Alexander Smith,
than during the by-past twelve
months. Friend lives in the mind of
friend. There is more charity at this
time than at any other. Poverty and
scanty clothing, and fireless CRATES
come home to the bosoms of the rich
and give of their abundance. The
very redbreast OF the woods enjoys
his Christmas feast. Cool feeling in
carnates itself in plum pudding. The
Masters word, "The poor We have al
ways with YOU" wear at this time
deep significance. For at least one
night on each year over all Christen-
dom there is brotherhood. And good
men, sitting amongst their families,
or by a solitary fire like me, when
they remember the light that shone
over the poor clowns budding on the
Bethlehem plains 1000 years ago,
the apparition of shining angels over
head, the song, Peace On Earth and
Good Will Towards Men," which for
the first time hallowed the midnight
air-pray for that strains fulfill
ment, that battle and strife may yex
the nations no more, that not only
on Christmas eve but the year round
men shall be brethren, owning one
Father in heaven.
Christmas eve! The wondrous
Santa Claus comes to the children
with thee. What visions of dolls,
games, books, candies, and all sorts
of goodies; drums, trumpets, whis-
ties OF all sorts of squeaks and dis
cordant blasts, and the wonderful
Christmas tree with its brilliant
lights, gay colors and mysterious
packages, some of which may contain
the long -wished-for skates or the
huge jackknife. 1t is all enchant-
ment, all the color of the rose, the
rainbow that spans their young lives.
Not all the agony in the manger, all
the wonder of the story of the Star
OF Bethlehem, of the following and
guiding of the wise men to the lowly
cradle of the coming King; not all
the sad beauty of the. old, old story
can fully satisfy the juvenile heart
like those. But are we not children
OF larger growth? In spite of the
solemnity of the occasion, in spite Of
its deep and tender meaning, the gifts
and goodies and merrymaking are all
dear to us, children in heart as we
are.

THE VALUE OF A VOTE.

Public men rarely fail to cast their
ballots. They have too much occa-
sion to see how public business suf-
fers from the inattention OF the aver
age citizen. Also 1t would suggest
their own lack of civic virtue. If they
failed to take all possible pains to
exercise the suffrage.
Most presidents have thus made 1t
a practice to travel long distances to
vote at home elections. President
Wilson followed the usual custom
this fall, when he Travelled three
times to New Jersey, to vote at the
primary, suffrage referendum, and
election. It took valuable time. but
the example set made the trip worth
while.
The average citizen takes these
duties lightly. He would not take a
railroad journey of any length what
ever to cast a vote He may forget
the closing hour in his own town,
and lose his suffrage. If he lives on
the outskirts and the day is rainy, he
can't take the pains to visit the polls.
He complains bitterly OF government
inefficiency, yet he won't take a half
dollars worth of time to support the
best men to work against such inef-
ficiency.

IN HONOR OF AMERICAN GENIUS

Some OF Thomas Edison's praeti-
cal, unobtrusive patriotism seems to
have been handed down to his son
Charles.
The genius of young Edison runs
to art, the long-haired, short pursed,
Bohemian kind Of art at that. But
in the land of Bohemia he has devel-
oped very practical scheme for pro-
noting patriotic art in America.
Young Edison would build monu-
ments to the long-neglected Ameri-
can song-writers-John Howard
Payne. Stephen Foster and others
who have left undying songs behind
them. Happily his plan does not con-
template littering the city parks with
statuary. 1t has more Edisonian
originality than that. His memorials
would be established in the hearts of
Americans, and so he laid the cor
nerstone of his first monument the
other day when he petitioned the
New York park board to publish
booklets containing the songs, the
life stories and the pictures of Amer.
ican song writer's.
His plan also includes public me.
MORALS to the song writers wher
noted singers and speakers would
hold public meetings in the parks
and sing the Home, Sweet
Home" "Massa's in the Cold, Cole
Ground" and other American bal
lads, and tell the stories of the mer
who wrote the well-beloved songs.
There's an American simplicity
about young Edison's plan thai
should recommend 1t to every one
who wants to see the American spirit
strengthened. 1t has timelness, too
In these piping days of war.

THE AUTOMOBILE THAT HITS
AND RUNS AWAY.

The speeding aut mobile that
smashes something and skips before
its number is discovered is common.
The chances for a successful escape
are fairly good. In case Of accident,
people are often too confused to look
at or remember numbers correctly.
The danger from reckless automO-
bile driving increases, and many ex-
listing provisions of law have become
out of date. Probably the number
plates for cars should be made larger
so as to be read more easily. In
some states the idea of separating
the first two numerals by dash
from those following is tried and
seems to make number read more
easily.
The idea should be drilled into the
public mind, particularly into all who
use motor cars, that quick reading
of the number of an offending ma
chine is the one protection and means
OF redress. The machine that smash
es into your unoffending car may
come from a thousand miles distant
The chances are a hundred to one
saw. The car number is the one tie
binding him to justice and the law Of
the land. Don't let that string sliT
out of your fingers.
The number plates of the different
states should look as diverse as pos
sible, SO that the license OF almost
any nearby state could be recognized
by the colors or size of the plate
These differences exist to a degree
But by consultation among the licens
ing authorities greater variation
could be secured so that the plates o
different states could be better dis
tinguished.
1t shocks ones faith In human ma
ture to read of some things that hap
pen on the road. Carelessly to rui
down an unoffending person is ba'
enough. But to commit that act ant
then to run without offering assist
ance is about the most sneaking ac
imaginable. The law should maxi
clear distinction between the motor
ist who stops and helps and the on'
who runs. II few of those fellow
could be severely punished other hog
OF the same breed would conclud
that 1t is better to stop than to run

Ashland was raked with a fine
tooth comb, both by those favorable
to and those opposed to the springs
project, but no citizen was found
who would stand as a candidate for
the springs water commission. Com
missioner Dodge long ago expressed
himself as having enough of base
newspaper insinuations against his
honesty. It was his desire to retire
from the commission the first Of
January and filed only because none
other could be found to take his
place. He hoped to pass his declin-
ing years in peaceful pursuit of his
private affairs. but public necessity
has forced him to continue the work.

There is one way to make white
Christmas even though there may be
not flake Of snow in sight. Let the
whiteness be in your heart. Put
aside all thoughts of guile. Forget
all the big or little bitterness you may
be entertaining against some other

BUSINESS, all unkindness. Endeavor
to harbor in your heart only such
thoughts and feelings as the Nazarene
knew when he dwelt by Galilee. Cul-
tivate human brotherhood. Practice
Christian charity. Look beyond and
above your workaday horizon. Get
out of yourself. Get into the heart
of others.
