Last Nights Play.

Dramatic and symbolic, 'Everywo-
man" is allegory, presented with all
the gorgeousness that Henry w. Saw
age knows so. we'll how to put into
whatever spectacle he presents. There
is the beauty of setting, there is the
glamour of poetic Interpretation, the
pulse of music, the throb and glow of
harmonious arrangement and color
full costuming.
1t is the story as old as the world
of living, breathing men and women
and fresh and new and beautiful as
youth itself-a story of Everywoman,
seeking love and finding it only after
devious wondering and long suffering,
trial and disappointment.
In this modern morality play there
are thirty-seven speaking characters,
representing the various virtues, vices
and conditions, in the manner Of the
old morality plays. 1t was suggested
to its author, Walter Brown, by the
morality play, "Everywoman" given
in America few years ago by the
Ben Greet players.
The music, symphonic in character,
was composed especially for the
numbers, by the dean of the New
England Conservatory of music,
George Whitfield Chadwick, and the
special symphony orchestra is one of
the best features of the performance.
With this panoramic series of beauti-
full stage pictures there is a plentiful
admixture of opera, musical comedy
and drama.
The central figure, Everywoman,
young and beautiful, sets out from
her home in quest of love. Truth
warns her of her danger but she
gives no heed and, infamed by the
representations of of Flattery, with
youth, beauty and mocesty as COM
panions, she begins her pilgrimage.
She adopts the stage, mounts to
stardom, besieges the hearts and
money-bags Of men, goes wild pace,
and ultimately pays the toll in the

sense. The association is thus able
to accomplish vast amount of real
and lasting good with a minimum
amount of expenditure both of time
and money.
The association likewise brings
much enthusiasm and inspiration and
education directly to the people by
conventions and Institutes. One re-
cent convention held at Daytona in
December is evidence of the value of
this method. The eight denomina-
ton operating in Volusia county, in
which Daytona is situated, were rep
resented. The Baptist church in
Daytona where the convention was
held was filled at each session. The
exchange of ideas, the associations of
workers, the new friendships formed,
and the inspiration of the gathering
were all refreshing. A splendid
luncheon supper was served in the
Congregational church, while the
Daytona band rendered charming
music. Numerous personal testimon-
ials were publicly given of the value
both to individuals and to schools of
the conventions held in the past in
Volusia county.
General Secretary Weidler is plan
ming much work for this year along
these lines. He will be in Pensacola
for three days meeting the 9Th, 9th,
and 10th of this month. He then goes
to Chipley for the 18th and 18th, and
to Madison on the 18th. After that
numerous dates are fixed for work
along the East Coast.

SAN MARTA, Colombia.-On
visits to South America, l have
been surprised at the great num-
Der of white people. In Argen-
tina, everybody is white.
There are no negroes in Chile,
or even Peru.
The people Of Chile and Peru
are slightly dark-about the color
you are after your summer vaca-
tion.
Brazil Is practically two coun-
tries SO far as color is concerned.
The southern part has no negroes.
The only dark complexioned peo-
pie there are Italian immigrants.
l am enthusiastic over the
southern part of Brazil. Northern
Brazil is different. AS soon as
you go north Of Rio de Janeiro,
along the coast, you see more ne
groes. In Bahia, Pernambuco
and Para, negroes predominate.
1T seems as IL 80 per cent Of the
population of the coast cities of
Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Bar
ranquilla are negroes.
Here are two sayings about
South America which are pretty
nearly correct:
"YOu can judge the OppOr.
tunities of q section by the
percentage of Germans.
Where there are no Germans,
there are no opportunities"
"YOu can Judge the un-
healthfulness of a commune
ity by the percentage of ne
grOes. Where there are many
negroes; conditions are un.
sanitary"
And yet we must not blame the
negroes. They are not native to
the country. The native inhabi-
tanth were fairly light-complex-
Toned Indians, intelligent and in
dustrial. The early Europeans
were Spanish. The Spanish gradu-
ally mixed with the Indians and
neither lost character or caste in
the process. The ruling classes
today are the descendants of this
mixture.
The negroes were brought from
Africa against their will to be the
slaves of the Spanish planters.
What an illustration this situa-
ton is of natures great law that
all action is followed by equal re-
action!
The Spanish settlers thought
they could hasten development of
the country by importing slaves.
The opposite has happened. The
importation of slaves has held
back growth.
When any individual, class,
or nation performs an econ
Omic wrong, it inevitably re-
acts to the disadvantage of
that person, class, or nation
We cannot beat this law.
