In Durance

In my prison cell | sit, serving out
my thirty days; for the speed cops
saw me fiit swiftly down the travel
ed ways. Oh, the limits thirty miles
i was going thirty-two; and I'm
heaping stone in pies, breaking
granite, gray and blue. Still the
road hogs hog the road. and their
carnage never stops; vigilance is not
bestowed on such fellows by the
cops. Still the reckless drivers wind
up and down the thoroughfare,
leaving slaughtered cows behind,
causing havoc everywhere; killing
hog and hen and hoss, without
reason, without cause; and they put
their graft across notwithstanding
all the laws. Still the dotards and
the drunk go kerwhooping down the
lane, looking on the laws as bunk,
holding cops are all insane. And we
seldom see them stand i'll the court
with other jays, answering the laws
demand for ten dollars or ten days.
All the penalties and pains fa.l on
gents who stand aghast, gents who
pushed their creaking wains half a
mile or SO too fast. In my prison
cell | sit, breaking all the rocks see,
and the ordeal makes no hit when |
think of those who're free; when
think of reckless knaves pulling
boners on the pike, sending to un-
timely graves harmless souls like
Pete and Mike.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Merchant of Venice.

Light-spirited. effortless, smooth
running. yet withal shaded with dra-
matte somberness and satire, THE
Merchant of Venice" at Polls last
night, in the hands of T.. II. Sothern
and his company actually lived in
flesh and blood-a play every bit as
enjoyable today as 1T was when Eliza
beth sat on Britains throne
The entire presentation is thing
of beauty in its simplicity, sincerity
and Smoothness.
Deeply impressive is the gradual
realization that comes with such a
performance that Shakespeare is not
always merely drama for study,
analysis and debate, but is, as we'll,
thoroughly satisfying recreation. AS
the Jew of Venice, Sothern is in his
element. His makeup is fawless.
He Is the fawning, cunning merchant
hate, moved with 6iaboIic designs
against the enemies of his race. shy
lock lives before you.
Perhaps in none of the other plays
of the reportory is the happy selec-
tion of Sothern's cast more clearly
evidenced. Miss Lenore Chtppendale
makes an admirable Portia She
steps across the line from sweet
toned love and inspiring unselfishness
to deep-seated | enetration and stern
ness in demanding justice, with ease
and grace-sweet, yet dignified: low
sble, but stately.
Frederiok Lewis is strong as Pas
Ganio, T. q. Bailey is a mirthful
tiobbo. and Miss Florence Fair de-
lights not only the eye but the ear
as Jessica. daughter of Shylock.
Scenic arrangements deserve an ap-
preciative paragraph. Lighting Of
fects conspire with well set stage
craft to effect delightful Illu-
sion. The settings are worthy of the
players.
And, before the final word. answer
this question, if you are skeptical
What greater tribute can be given
the play and it's performance than the
outburst OF spontaneous laughter
amid scenes and hushed house dur
ing the tenser moments when Shy
lock is delivering invectives or Por-
tia Il pleading for mercy? The
laughter and the silence rang true
as tributes.

sUPER-POWER MoNOPOLY

Just as we have Senator LaFollette
to thank for inaugurating the fight
which brought to light the oil scan
dals, so have we Senator Norris to
thank for preventing the gift of Mus
Gle Shoals to Henry Ford on terms
that would make the oil concessions
to Doheny and Sinclair look like thirty
cents. The defeat of the Ford propo-
sition can be made final only by the
slowly got under way as a result of
the educational work done by Senator
Norris.
But a mere negative victory in the
matter of one unit of super-power is
not enough. We need a public super
power system owned by the people.
So must the Colorado river scheme.
So must various state developments.
The next big super-power fight will
be staged in California where there
will shortly be a statewide referen-
dun on the public super-power bill
defeated by the private power inter-
ests at the cost of over half billion
dollars at the previous referendum.
The recent vote in Los Angeles on
the municipal system was highly en-
couraging. An enormous majority
favored the necessary expansion of
the municipal system, although it
fell short of the required two-thirds
majority by a few thousand votes.
If the public loses all along the line
now, it will pay an enormous price
later on to break the grip of private
monopoly on the sources of power.
