The Sad Story Of
A Misspent Life

Ellis once said you could break the
Ten Commandments without difficulty
but you always had to pay if you broke
the laws of nature. The marquis, true
TO form, has an apoplectic stroke and
is condemned by the doctor in the last
act to live twenty years, nursed by one
OF his left-handed children.
1t is the playwrght's privilege in q
fair minded bout to bob up at this
juncture in the argument and contend
that he was not seeking to justify
the marquis and his cynicism, but to
hold him up as q symbol of the very
inexcrable consistency of moral law
and the inability of even the wisest
man to put anything over on the uni
versal scheme. If Henry Lavedan would
refuse TO say that, then the argument
is clearly over. But if he would-and
the chances favor it--he still would
lose. For what the playwright evil
IDENTIFY misses at every point in his play
is that there is kind of skepticism. at
least a disbelief, in much that is ordi-
narily accepted as part of the good
ness of living, which is much higher
and finer and more powerful and vivid
than anything his marquis presents at
any moment.
The Marquis de Priola remarks, in a
fine phrase, that he would like to GO
through life like flaming torch, and
there is no other phrase in the play
matte protagonist. Because all his in
trigues and his technical triumphs over
women never make his meteor course
anything more than the hurting fall
Of a dead cinder. With all the finest
efforts of Mr.. Ditrichstein--and out
side Of a certain formulistic quality
that attaches to all actors who special
lie in passion it is very goodwill
all his finest efforts, the marquis is
rarely at any moment anything better
than what, in the expressive idiom of
the day, is called poor prunc.
From behind the thin and unfruit
1ul nGure OF tne marqulS-the man VINO
imagined that the truth about living
could be put so easily into system OF
sexual pursuit-arises vaguely The
tragic face of Fedya Protosop in Gre
demption." Fedya was also skeptic
but somehow his failure to discover any
satisfacti in living is infinitely allur-
ing. 1t may be because he wanted 81
much that he could not win that his
failure seems magnificent. AS for the
marquis, what he wanted he never
but once failed to win.

For All the People.

Last Sunday ii meeting was held in
the Century theater TO discuss social
problems. The radicals, so called, gave
the following problem. anti-Bolshe-
vism, 65 per cent of the wealth OF
America owned by 5 per cent of the
people. unemployment, starvation
wages, industrial tyranny, child labor
etc. Are you for this?
A true Indictment. but look at the
ridiculous remedy:
Jobs for all, no rent to the landlord,
no interest to the banker, no profit to
the boss, "A government of workers, by
workers, for workers Are you against
this?
Yes most emphatically.
The true answer would be: Jobs at
good wages for ALL according to ability
and qualifications; land rent to govern
ment instead of taxes legal interest to
bankers, fair profit to the boss, a gov
eminent of all the people, by all the
people, for all the people. Don't you
like that better?

Labor Wants Justice.

making the same mistake that Pope

These men say that employers must
be charitable and show great consider

OUR DEBT TO THE DEAD

Subscribing to the governments
dfth Liberty Loan. called In our
Thanksgiving the Victory Loan, is the
most patriotic thing any of us can do
at the present moment. While actual
fighting was in progress It was not
hard to arouse ourselves to active md
unqualified support of any war meas
ure which was brought forward. Now
that tho stimulus of the knowledge
that American blood was flowing on
the fields of France is gone we should
not be any the less hesitEnt In re-
spending to an appeal which is neces-
sary to pay the price Of the peace.
II is not difficult to realize that
hundreds of millions of dollars we're
spent In accommodating the materials
with which this country was to play
Its part in the great spring offensive
Of 1919, planned b. the Allies to be
The vital blow OF the war. Among
other things II is to pay for large
quantities Of these supplies that the
present loan is being asked The debt
was acquired In a worthy cause and
in honor TO our dead we can do moth
