and South Carolina had adopted the same
popular system
It was the pulse OF these changes that
now beat in affairs.
A new democracy stood eager for its
triumph-now a second time, as first In
1900. It was tired OF the ''Virginian dy-
nasty that had ruled It. as II by pre-
scriptive privilege, since the century
opened, and was Infinitely impatient OF
Mr.. Adams as its heir and successor.
Mr.. Clay had seemed for a little while
the preferred spokesman of the new
generation. a veritable voice Of the West
and of democracy upon a new field, utter
ing its hearty ardor for q policy at once
continental and of the people.
The new State OF Missouri had added
Mr.. Thomas H Benton to the roll OF
Senators, to put his mass also into the
western scale. a new leader among Demo-
Gratis.

holiness and audacity loved on the From

Mr.. Benton was heavy with a touch of

Allies Fight America. BattIe..

At present Europe is in the throes of an in
ternecine in which the future of civilization
is at stake. Upon the outcome depend not only
the liberties of Europe and of the world but also
the future OF democracy. For in world so un-
organized politically that its peace is at the mercy
of one power, the crucial test of any form of po-
litical organization cannot be the more or less
satisfactory nature of its inner life but must per-
force be its ability defend itself and to survive
in struggle imposed by others. Were European
democracy to fail in this crisis its fate would be
sealed, and America would become the last bull
wark of popular government. For this fundamental
there is almost literal truth in the state
ment that the allies are fighting Americas battles

OF all the arts the theater is the most demo-
cratic. The career of play depends on the
strength of its appeal to the people II il reaches
special class only II is almost certain to be short
lived. But when 1t Is taken into the great COM
mon heart of man it is sure to have long life.
1t may even become classic.

Our present convention demands that play
be divided into three four acts. Occasionally
Ia dramatist breaks act into scenes; but this
practice has grown uncommon and is discouraged
by managers. So the dramatist of today is more
restricted than Shakespeare with his freedom
to change the scene whenever he pleased relying
mainly on the imagination of his audiences.
The time may not be very distant when drama
lists will rebel against this limitation and demand
greater freedom, insisting that their freedom is
more important than any mechanical interference.
At present the greatest foe Of the dramatist is
scenery. 1t has usurpcd kind of tyranny. 1t
has made the dramatist its victim

The psychology of playwriting rests on the
psychology of story telling. If we have a good
story to tell much depends upon our beginning
at the beginning and going unfalteringly to the
end, using only those details that are essential
Moreover, it is important when the end is reach
ed to stop. Many story teilers use so much de-
tail or wander far from the theme that the
interest is lost After reaching the point they may
go talking, to the fatigue of the listener
The perfect anecdote, in other words, develops
evenly and steadily. The point must be constant
ly kept in mind and kept till the end. So often in
"a play, as in anecdote the point is reached
before the play ends. As a result the spectators
lose interest. Sometimes they go out

Like most OF the arts, the drama tends to be
confined in the grooves of imitation Nowadays
when one kind of play succeeds other plays of
the same kind are sure to be given hearing The
writer with a new method or a new idea finds him
self blocked on every side. His entering the the
alter is like scaling a high wall. 1t is only the
courageous manager who will give admittance to
the genius. And he must also be endowed with
a genius of his own. The most successful man
ayers are not likely to be those who possess
artistic appreciation. As rule their gifts lie in
commercial shrewdness.

The drama combines all the arts. 1t appeals
directly to the eye and the ear and to the imagi-
nation. 1t invites every one to be present at the
scene of action. II it merely talks about incidents
that not represented it is likely to fail Nearly
always its success depends on concentrating the
interest on the stage. For this reason it is essen
tally founded on movement Before us the people
live. The audience is Judge. The method of the
drama is reproduction of the method of life.
As In life, we estimate the people and give them
liking or disliking II we do not understand the
people, il puzzled as to their characters or
their motives we cease to be entertained. We
turn away. For this reason in drama, every
thing must be clear as it goes along. Otherwise
we shall not reach the full Significance and be in
the state of receptive sympathy which is essential
to the enjoyment of art. The best play is the
play that, without explanation of any kind, simply,
directly and coherently unfolds itself, just as life
does.
What are the forces that cause life to unfold
itself? Invariably they come from character. For
this reason the highest drama has character for
its continual inspiration. Beneath the speeches
are those human impulses which experience has
taught us at once to recognize. In watching a
drama of this kind have the highest kind of
intellectual enjoyment, verihcaton.

There are comparatively few dramas that move
in this way steadily, inevitably. Indeed, to keep
drama moving is of the most difficult OF feats
There should be no dead spots" where the inter
est of the audience lags. Always the drama should
give the sense Of going forward. Here. however, it
would seem as if the difficulty ought not to be
so great. For drama is essentially concentration
of human impulse. Within few hours, never
more than three, it brings together the result Of
years of character-working

Playwriting. through being SO demeratic, is OF
all the arts the most moral 1t influences those
springs Of action. the emotions. 1t can actually
control our love and our hate. 1t can make us
hate what is worthy and make us love what is
unworthy. The dramatist therefore ought, above
all things, to be right-minded to have clear
sense of moral values, enhancing them with the
magic of the theater. Though like to think
that we Judge by opinions really judge by
our feelings. In the theater, rule, de-
liberately place feelings at the disposal of the
playwright We assume the attitude where we
were willing to life with his eyes.
