Arthur Hornblow has done most valu-
able piece Of work in preparing the two
volumes entitled "a History Of
the Theatre in America, From It's Begin
ming to the Present Time"
The Stage has progressed far enough
now. and has sufficiently established itself
as Il permanent institution in communal
life to be worth the sincere and careful
history which Mr.. Hornblow has provided.
In the early days of this country severe
Puritancal laws proved an effective barrier
to enterprising thespians
The prejudice and suspicion of our
fathers are illustrated in an anecdote related
by Judge Daily in connection with the plan
ming of the Academy of Music in Brooklyn.
There was warm argument among the
building committee over the question of
stage and scenery, determined stand
being taken against n curtain. "A curtain"
exclaimed one solemn-faced objector, lis
intended to conceal something and conceal
ment suggests improperly" SO little
versed in the lore of the theatre was this
worthy city father that it was necessary to
explain to him that stage plays were usually
divided into sections, commonly known as
ACTS and that the curtain was lowered
simply to mark the interval
There have been several histories of the
American stage, notably Seihamer's, Dun
laps, and Ireland's. but they are all incom-
pete and out of date. In 1859. for instance,

We can scarcely feel surprised at the arrest of Seattle

constable denies the accusation in toto He accepted no
brides whatsoever he declares But it ought not to shock
us ANY constable in this city should accept few dollars

from blame For we, the public want him to be officer
of the law want him to maintain his family and his
home we want him pay doctor bills and the constantly
rising living costs want him to step out every four
wears and make campaign for election and want him
to do it all for

The late attention awakening
toward giving the jobless soldier

wc not make "A mistake II we dis
place married men with fanil!esY
For instance. there Is AZ this very
hour man calling for Job at the
shipyards who has six children and
a little home from which his family
win he set out In the streets unless
he gets that Job. lie IN held from
the job because OF the cx-soldler. The
average .x-roIdier has no family
whatever. and IL is almost a matter
~ course that most OF the young
men with Jobs have no families.
Now this is so true that we can
address ourselves to this condition.
viz.
Most cx-soldiers ard young men
with jobs have no families.
This man with a large family Of
little ones was on the shipyard job
during the war He IL turned away
because the joblcss soldier wants
job. ~. has been patching along on
difficult and detached jobs that the

Garner. Our country Is calling for
larger families. He has one of the
incest OF them. The cx-soldicr has
no family. nor most OF the young
men who have most OF the jobs. nor
do most OF them intend to have fam
lilies or get married. and. let II he
noted. have most young men who
have the jobs saved any money or
intend 60 save any money!
The question Is: What ought to
be done in the situation? Would IL
not be best to keep that man with
the family and little home who
makes up the real American com
monwealth than 20 turn him away
II this is not done what shall be
done7 In several instances such
men have turned back to their
homes. and johless and penniless.

mitted suicide. Whatever such men
have done in these cases. they repre-
sent suicide for American families.
1t means that the young men with
Jobs and the ox.soldicr with a job
is not going to have family.
II also means that the already
nonincrcasing American population
Is to be supplantcd by every sort OF
foreigner and that a greater opening
viii be made for Asiatics. who in
creases five times faster than the
whites.
Now. IL Is submitted that the mar
ried men must be kept on the Jobs.
This is altogether obvious. The
young men who save nothing can be
pretty generally suspected of spend
ing their substance in riotious liv-
ing and our country need not worry
about either men or women who
waste away In riotous living. Such
population is not desirable to build
up "A country.
There are thousands OF the finest
of young American girls with the
righteous aim and hope of ideal
homes and there are thousands of
young men who are too cowardly TO
enter the only natural way OF living.
In truth these people sponge on so
ciety. They are skelpcrs because
they depend upon others TO supply
American homes and American PEG.

Are such people the most valu.
able?
