.HAUGHTON MAY NOT BE POPULAR

Autocratc Temperament Has Not Endeared Him to the

Anew YORK. Jan 1S.-Percy
M Haughton's leap into the base

owner of the Boston Braves, causes
considerable speculation as to just how

his pointed remarks made some
enemies among the newspaper fratsr-

When an appeal was made to Haugh-

that the enjoyment of the spectators
would be increased, HaughtOn loftily
answered that Harvard football wasn't

added that ~conyicts are numbered and

II was perfectly all right for laugh

ignore the welfare Of the long suffer

But as a magnate and an owner of

I'VE will give long and adequate test

The production is also notable in
showing the first appearance before

THE HUMORIsT.
Tercentenary of Cervantes Recalls
Memory of Other Satirists.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
The British are not the only people
who this year may celebrate the tercen-
tenary of a great writer. Madrid is
erecting a monument to the author of
Don Quixote." Cervantes was more
than a man of letters: he was more
than a great humorist; he was an epoch.
Master of ridicule. he laughed the de-
funct age of chivalry out of existence.
People often forget the social func-
ton of the humorist He restores san
ity. He clears the atmosphere of ex-
travagance and humbug. Bergson says
that laughter has survival value" as a
corrective of social abuses. Certainly
some of the worlds most effective re-
formers have been its masters of ridi-
Guile and satire. There are humorists
like Mark Twain, in whose laughter
there is no sting. and there have been
La Rochefoucauld. who have simply
Knocked the all too humanness'' of
mankind at its noblest. But in almost
every age there has been some bold
non-conformist spirit whose laughter In
the face of some traditional scarecrow
has ended the tyranny of a truth which
had outlfved its usefulness and become
lie. Knighthood in the days of Chau-
Ger had still its noble aspects but
kmghthood after Cervantes wrote Don
Qufxote' could never quite escape a
touch of the burlesque. Therefore men
turned to less antiquated and more rea
avenues of human service.
Similarly. the laughter of Arts
tophanes wrought confusion among the
ancient Greek sophists. Lucian's mock
cry corrected much of the sentimental
ism of the effete Graeco-Roman society
The sound laughter of Erasmus, the hu-
manist, spread the influence of the re-
Nuisance in northern Europe Buffers
"Hudibras" helped correct the extrava-
gances of early English Puritanism
Noltaire laughed the last remnants of
medievalism out of eighteenth century
France and cleared the ground for mod
ern democracy. Carlyle's .Sartor Re-
sartus" made nineteenth century ro-
mantfcism ridiculous. The sly humor
of Thackeray brought common sense
into early Victorianism. and the sar-
donic spirit of Bernard Shaw in these
times has left little in modern CONNER
cial society unchallenged
May the Cervantes monument stand
as reminder to moderns that there
have been reformers with a sense of
humor!
