MO clearer statement of the socialists case in the
- New York legislature has appeared than that of
the national Amercanism commission of the Amerl-
can Legion. The resolution passed by this commission
declares:
"Since the American Legion stands for the main
tenance of American institutions of government, we
look with disfavor on every effort to overthrow the
right of representation deny to the properly elected
representatives of the people the right to sit in the
bodies to which they have been elected except when
they have been shown legally disqualified
The American Legion is to be congratulated for this
splendid cear-cut expression. 1t is American to the
core.
'sThe right of representation"
Never must that be trampled upon if we are to re-
main true to fundamental Americanism. Without that
right we are lost.
If New York constituencies want to elect socialists,
theosophists, mtarists or pacflsts, that Is their
right If the voters of this city should give larger
number of votes to James A. Duncan, the Triple AL
lance candidate and flaming radical leader, that is
their privilege.

music can compare with the "Stabat Mater"
or the "Hallelujah Chorus?
The words were mostly taken from the
King James translation of the Bible, the
most sonorous and imposing literature
extant. Where other words were used the
effect is disappointing, for what living
author can keep step with the immortals7
Very little acting was attempted, most of
the action being by masses; but Mr.. Walter
Hampdens voice and figure were superb
and Miss Blanche Yurka interpreted her
role with rare dignity and charm.
Altogether the performance was an ex-
ceedingly interesting experiment. 1t could
be done better, of course; and If the idea
is well received it will doubtless attract
genius of the highest order, and If the
chief motive force of the race is to be pre-
scented at all upon the stage it ought to be
handled in the very best way.
AS religious appeal, however I confess
it has not the power that simpler, more
modern and more frankly dramatic pro-
duction has. AS propaganda for the cause
of Jesus Christ it is far surpassed, in my
Judgment, by that most impressive, fasci-
mating, and convincing of plays, 1.-THE Pass
ing Of the Third Floor Back"
There is just one reason why plays with
the religious motif do not succeed upon the
secular stage: they are not well enough
done.
