Hamlet Only Wise Fool,
Princeton Professor Says

PRINCETON. N. j.. May 1a.-Hamiet
was neither mad nor pretending mad
ness; he was merely playing the fool
In order to strike at the insincerity and
unreality OF the world about him.
Thus Alfred Noyes. the poet professor.
solved the puzzle In q lecture at tho
Princeton Shakespeare celebration.
In Mr. Noyes' opinion. Hamlet de-
rived his disposition from his former
friend Yorick. the court jester. He said
II seemed to him that Shakespeare
meant to typify in Hamlet the wise
fool Of the early English courts at his
greatest point OF development"
The speaker also said II was DIFFICULT
bto conceive how critics could support the
theory of madness or feiened madness
in the face Of the fact that other char
acters In the play are ridiculed for
holding the same belief.

Dryer, a farmer. lost his i've senses
when he was kicked by a horse.
The animal. although not shod, de-

leave a clear imprint Of the hoof.
Immediately after the accident Dryer
became blind. In rapid sequence he lost

A CONTEST OF CHARACTER,
NOT Of WEASEL WORDS
CARDINAL QUESTION IN THIS
CAMPAIGN is WHETHER THE
PEOPLE WANT IN THE WHITE
HOUSE A PHRASE-MAkER.
OR A MAN WHO BACKS
WORDS WITH DEEDS.


Woodrow Wilson excels In the ar
tistry of politics beyond the capacity
Of Charles Evans Hughes to compete.
We're the current campaign game OF
professional politics instead of con-
test of character between two candi-
dates for the highest office in the gift
u the people, Mr.. Wilson would walk
away with the prize next November.
All his life he has made study OF
fOrm-tirst of literary form-and lat
terly Of political form. In the first
period he mastered style peculiarly
his own, and peculiarly characteristic.
The study Of words and their multi
Elicity of meaning always fascinates
him, SO much that Princeton class
mate recently said of him: Tommy
has lived with words so long he thinks
they are real things" Thence comes
his collection of what Theodore ROose-
velts Maine Guide calls "weasel
words" That is-''he can take
word and weasel it around and suck
the meaning out Of 1t like weasel
sucks an egg, until it don't mean any
thing at all, no matter what It
sounds like 1t means" Thence came
also the series of catch phrases. SO

ineptitude in other respects. he Is cas-

istry OF politics, and he would win

Compare the Witness of Mr.. Wilson
with the straightforwardness of Mr..
Hughes. Compare the smooth style Of
the one with the rugged dictiOn Of the
other. The one is rs complex In the
use OF words as the other is simple.
1t Is case Of sonOrOusness versus
strength. Mr.. Hughes is depending
upon the strategy Of Straightforward
ness and the strength Of sincerity;
lpon the force of facts, instead Of up
On the fiction Of a phrase. to win his
case before the jury OF the nation.
His appeal Is to the head and not the
ear Of the people; to their intelli-
gence and not to their emotion; to
their heroic side and not to their hys-
terical side. 1t Is an appeal to the
courage Of the country and not to its
cowardice. Mr.. Hughes could not, II
he would, perform In year the po.
litical tricks that Mr.. Wilson can do
In day. The question today Is
whether the people want in the White
House for the next four years q
phrase-maker or a history maker; q
man Of many sayings, or man who
backs his words with deeds. There
is fundamental difference between
the two candidates, which marks the
line of cleavage in this extraordinary
campaign-"Hughes means what he
says"

The balsam Of this briny breeze brings

The mountains and the rivers cry the
message that u Mails's

and their desperation wanes;
Again their hearts are raised to look

For Maine has been the clarion that's

When nations paid US homage, for

Ere blood of our own countrymen had

And now again our songs we sing Of

To make the dream that passed away

For the sturdy souls that breathe the
pine have brought to life again
The faith that hlls 4 nations heart
