Shabby Citizenship

The failures of democracy are
the failures of citizens to play
their part. The governing de-
partments belong to US. Their
successes are ours; their mistakes
disgrace US.
Think what a Eoard Of health
might accomplish if the citizens
made an effort to work whole
heartedly with it.
Think what a eet.cleaning
department might be in a city
where every inhabitant felt as
responsible for the sidewalk and
street in front of his property
as for his parlor floor!
Think of the quality a com.
munity might acquire with a
school system which was the
pride and anxious concern of
every parent in the city!
Where are the members of the
community who might have lei.
sure and money to band their
fellows together and work un.
resistingly with the public officials
to build the City Beautiful?
In most of our cities the
government, though often in
efficient and unenlightened, is
not corrupt, or beyond the in
huence of the citizens who have
no private axe to grind. The
worst failures are due to the fact
that, as soon as the officials are
elected, the public forgets all a.
bout them and leaves them to the
companionship of the few who
come to get some favor for them
selves or their friends. Citizens
have no one except themselves to
thank if an official, left to the
mercies of the self-seeking, be-
comes careless in lf-defense or
corrupt through evil associations.

Monthly.

The Carolina Playmakers

Last week the Carolina Play
makers were with US, and al
though their fame hadrun before
them, our highest hopes were
justified. The playmaker is a
pioneer in this day of vanishing
fortunes. To him has come the
whisper of a wondrous fountain
of new inspiration, the prophecy
of a new native drama. tits to be
our own, this new evolving and
re-shaping the lore of all the
people. Its materials are so
familiar, so intimate, that we
more often overlook them for the
far, the strange and foreign.
The playmakers are young as
yet, but their productions bear
the stamp of genuineness. Old
Wash Lucas with his shrivelled,
misery soul is a challenging
character portrayal. We know
him and his kind, just as we
know the gaunt pine split by
lightning, and yet it is with a
sigh of relief that we turn to the
equally true and warmly-human
comedy, I'm Dixon's Kitchen.
1t is as If we had stepped aside
to see ourselves go by. "Trista"
possesses, by far more of the
elusive charm of the childhood of
a people. The music of her name,
the witching sweetness of form
and face as she hears the Turing
call of the night, and the babbl-
ing of the crazy old Gaia almost
leads US to share the conviction
of the little household that she is
not a creature of this earth but a
witch or fairy from some distant
Irish legend brought over by our
forefathers.
1t is the simple life of our
people that has so far been pre-
scented. The call has come for
representations of the so-called
upper-class. AS the work of the
playmaker develops, however, we
may naturally look for more
variety and a wider range of SUBJ
jects. So DR.. Koch and his play
ers were given the tribute of a
very appreciative audience. The
plays were claimed by the
people as their own, and this is
proof positive of their merit.
