thirty years experience I am curious to
havc further information concerning the

A Governor With a Backbone.

Governor MORRISON of North Caro-.
lima is an executive with a backbone.
He refused to exercise his power in
the case Of popular man convicted
of murder and sentenced to death.
The friends of the murderer used
every conceivable means to influence
Governor MORRISON. They made di.
rect appeals to him. They uttered
threats. Circulation was given to
stories In which Governor MORRISON
was represented as actuated by un-
worthy motives. But Governor Mon
R1soN stood firm and let the law take
it's course.
At present a good many North
Carolina men and women resent Gov
ernor MoRRIsoa's attitude. Some of
them may never overcome this re-
sentiment. But in time IL should be.

text are made possible when the
scenes may be quickly changed. The
highest ideal In the scenic adornment
of the plays of SHAKESPEARE to-day
seems to be that which serves to in
crease their beauties while IL does
not divert the attention of the listen
ers for one reason or another from
the play itself. Such is the standard
that prevails on the stage. There
has been no experiment here like
that made In England Of placing the
audience in the manner of the Eliza
bethan days. In spite Of the de-
creased elaboration of the setting the
opportunity for the artist to reveal
himself in staging Shakespear
dramas is greater than 1t ever was.

A King Beyond Questioning.

A certain citizen of New York,
JAMES j. MCMAHON of Forest Hills,
Borough Of Queens, went to hall in
Jamaica where Mayor HYLAN was
making q speech. Mr.. MCMAHON
wanted to know why certain sub
way extension which, as he remem.
bered it, the Mayor had promised to
make had not been made.
So Mr.. MCMAHON stood UP in meet
ing and said How about your prom.
ise about
Thereupon, as Mr.. MCMAHON tells
it, he was seized by policemen and
members of the audience. pushed out
of the hall and dragged down the
stairs. He mentions specifically that
member of the Mayors bodyguard
punched him in the face. Also he
was summoned to court on charge
of disorderly conduct.
II Mr.. MCMAHON had been reading
the newspapers he would have known
better than to ask Mr.. HYLAN ques-
tion, much less to remind him OF
promise.
Hizzoner is beyond questioning.
Unlike common kings, he cannot be
petitioned by his peasants. One of
his most polished courtiers, Mr.. WAL
lis, recently made known the awe in
which the Hylan court holds his Maj
esty when he declared that sit was
sacrilege for a legislative committee
to come down from Albany and inves-
tigate the administration OF man
like this"
II it is sacrilegious for the Legisla-
ture's representatives to quiz HYLAN
the crime of mere citizen in daring
to ask HYLAS question is inde-
scribable.
