FIGHTING A LONE BATTLE

Although handicapped by lack of cooperation and, at times, actu- al and unWarranted interference, in the three and one-half years as territorial Auditor, Cash Cole, Ill seeking reelection on the Repub- lican ticket, is baSing his race on the record made during his encum- bency. He is Alaska's first and only Auditor, chosen first by the territorial Legislature in 1929 and elected by a large majority i'll the election of 1880.
 His aim at all times has been to make of the Auditors office an instrument for efficient public ser vice; to make it place where All askans can get quick action on their just claims against the Ter ritory, and to see to it that there are always funds on hand to pay for the essential functions of the lC44llO1 4d1
 Against Federal Usurpation
 From the outset he has stood firmly against uSurpation of terri torial functions by Federal offic- CTS. Much of the time he has been alone in his effort, not only lacking cooperation from fellow territorial. officials, but in many in stances actually meeting bitter op- position, so powerful as to render almost intellectual his attempt to protect the public interests.
 Almost from the day he took of flee, this antagonistic attitude has prevailed Early in his tenure he recognized that he would have to go it alone in his fight for economy in administration which even then was clearly the outstanding need if the essential functions of gov ernment were to be perpetuated.
 Appeals to Legislature
 This was the compelling motive that took him before the Legisla- ture in 1881 with figures to demon strate that the territorial Treasury would be emptied of it's surplus be- fore 1o33, and incoming revenues would be insufficient to meet cur rent liabilities unless the powers to check eXtravagances were reposed in his, or some other purely terri tOrial agency. The Legislature failed to act. The eXtravaganceS continued to exist, and today the Treasury is so nearly empty that many bills are being carried over while merchants and others are without payment for goods or serv- ices rendered.
 After the Legislature adjourned MT. Cole immediately sought to bring about a program of eXpen- ditures, based upon the then ex- isting Treasury balance and ex- pected tax receipts, that would in- sure a balanced budget for the bi- ennium. He urged the elimination of all nonessentials to the end that such vital things as support ot schools, road and trail building pensions and the Pioneers Home

had been doing in advance, regarding
the stunt that the playwright had set
for himself For, with every regard for
the supreme artistry of the work, from
the point of view Of dramatic construc-
ton and character creation, it remains
stunt, and no less, to have adapted
the ancient Greek formula of the
trilogy to virtually modern conditions.
Greek drama has been studied but little
in recent years, and there is at least a
full generation, perhaps two, of theater-
goers who have heard only remotely OF
Sophocles, despite the fact that he was
the most prolific playwright of his age,
with no less than 130 dramas to his
credit.
The elementals Of human emotion
and the reactions Of people upon one
another are undoubtedly the same now
that they were % or "a centuries ago.
The crimes they commit are about the
same in character, with only modern
variations, due to Improvements in
lethal weapons and agencies. Their
loves and lusts and their vices are
basically unchanged Therefore when
playwright chooses vice and crime
for his theme he can with perfect certi-
tude of psychological propriety set his
play for 400 or 500 years before Christ
or in this day Of radio, television and
flying. If he chooses to make his play
triple -jointed instead of single dra-
matte unit, he is warranted within the
limits of his audiences patience and
endurance.
Eugene ONeill has presented for his
three-part drama well-to-do family
of the highest social standing IN a
New England town of the middle six

close of the Civil War He has selected

| adultery. murder, vengeance and incest
as his prime promptings for the doings
of these people, father and mother, son
and daughter. Out of this material he
has wrought, in effect, three plays,
closely united and played as one, which
are masterpieces Of technical dramatic
construction, the whole being the most
remarkable playwriting produced by an
American for great many years.
Some enthusiasts may think for all
time.
After the first play Or part yesterday
at the New National, the effect was of
the doings in laboratory of research.
One seemed to be looking on at a
series of experiments. At times it
seemed as though white -gowned med
ical men we're engaged In dissection
work and the odor of disinfectants
could almost be sensed.
With his customary freedom of
speech. ONeill employs freely In these
united plays of the language that SOL
diers and sailors use, men such as
those who appear In stressful circum-
stances in the trilogy Very little Is
left to the imagination. Even in the
occasional comedy which Is employed,
quite after the ancient fashion for
relief" purposes now and then, there
Is a breadth that, while it raises the
expected laugh from the audience,
leaves 1t sorry that such words should
have obtruded into an otherwise al
tistic scene. However, that is O'Neill's
way. He believes in using raw ma
terias. He certainly uses them in
Electra"
But about that name "Electra?" OF
course, there is no such person in the
plays. O'Neill has simply adapted the
name into his title from the old Sopho-
cles title. Electra" is actually Layinia
Mannon, daughter of the house. the
nemesis of the wrongdoers, herself
evil of spirit and the final survivor
OF this unpleasant group, who immures
herself for the remainder of her life
IN the family mansion, rather greedily
taking upon herself the crimes that
have been committed there and else
where. Not at all an agreeable per-
In the first portion of the final play.
The two men of the family are the
most nearly normal, father and son. In
both, however, is taint of latent,
though never fully revealed vileness
The former is poisoned by his wife at
the end Of the first play and the latter
dies by his own hand, driven by his
sisters scheming, in the last play. Be
tween these two tragedies are two
others, one murder and the other a
suicide.
Does this make for entertainment?
1t is tremendously interesting as a
protracted inquest into crime. The
first play holds everybody tense. The
second lets them down somewhat
through repetition, though borne the

AS a performance, outside Of the

a most satisfactory Offering. The play,

of the highest commendation. 1t Is
