This Is Too Optimistic

CENATOR THOMAS proposal suggests what an
~ odd thing it is that policemen, letter carriers
and even stokers in government buildings are
required to pass written tests Of their intellectual
fitness for these jobs and to show in general way
that they not lunacS, whereas aspirants to the
halls of government are carelessly presumed to be
men OF good intelligence and sound mind. This is
a rash and over-optimistic presumption.
A crazy policeman can not do very serious harm.
About the worst he do is empty his pistol into
a crowd OF citizens most of whom, to judge by the
success of the police in Smelling John Dlingers
automobile these last few days would escape injury.
The policeman then would be seized by other officers
dlSarmed, loaded into a wagon, and removed from
the force, because the law holds that a policeman
must be and in any question of his sanity must
assume the burden of proof
statesman, on the other hand has power to
make great nuisance of himself and to work
serious harm to the citizens with propositions
But he may stand on his dignity and immunity if
any one offers doubt to the health of his mind
He is statesman with a certificate of election and
the representative of the qualified voters who chose
him at the polls

None were there, to take pity on
Him, but one disciple and four
women. God blessed those women
for their true and tender hearts,
They were. the mother of Jesus,
his mothers sister, Mary, the wife
of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene
who had twice dried his feet upon
her hair. The disciple was he
whom Jesus loved-John, who had
leaned upon his breast and asked
him which was the Betrayer
When Jesus saw them standing at
the foot of the Cross, He said to
his mother that John would be
her son, to comfort her when He
was dead; and from that hour
John was as a son to her, and
loved her.
4 T about the sixth hour, a deep
n and terrible darkness came
over all the land, and lasted until
the ninth hour, when Jesus cried
out, with loud voice, My God,
My God. why has Thou forsaken
mel" The soldiers, hearing him
dipped a sponge in some vinegar,
that was standing there, and fas-
tening it to long reed, put it up
to His Mouth When he had re-
ceived it, He said, 1T is finished".
And crying, Father! Into thy
hands, commend my spirit! p
died.
Theme there was a dreadful
earthquake; and the great wall of
the Temple cracked; and the
rocks were rent asunder. The
guard, terrified at these sights,
said to each other, Surely this

was the Son of God!"-And the
People who had been watching the
cross from distance (among
whom were many women smote
upon their breasts, and went, fear
fully and sadly, home.
The next day, being the Sab
bath, the Jews were anxious that
the Bodies should be taken down
at once, and made that request to
PLATE. Therefore some soldiers
came, and broke the legs of the
two criminals to kill them; but
coming to Jesus, and finding Him
already dead, they only pierced
his side with a spear. From the
wound, there came out, blood and
water.
THERE was a good man named
Il Joseph of Arimathea, a jew
ish city-who believed in Christ,
and going to PLATE privately for
fear of the Jews begged that he
might have the body. Plate con-
senting, he and one Nicodemus,
rolled it in linen and spices-it
was the custom of the Jews to pre-
pare bodies for burial in that way
and buried it in a new tomb or
Sepulchre, which had been cut
out Of a rock in a garden near to
the place of Crucifxion, and
where no one had ever yet been
buried They then rolled great
stone to the mouth of the sepul-
chre, and left Mary Magdalene,
and the other Mary, sitting there,
watching it.

ID AY HENDERSON, press rep
N resentative of Katherine Cor
nell, who comes to EnglishS for
three days, beginning Thursday
night, March 90, left my desk
after giving me some information
which will change slightly the
plans of the actress.
Because it requires more than
six hours to place the production
of Romeo and Juliet" in the
theater. it will be impossible for
the star to appear as Juliet in
this city.
Instead, Miss Cornell will open
in her greatest success, The Bar
retts of Wimpole Street" This
play will be repeated on Friday
night and Saturday matinee.
On Saturday night Candida"
will be given. During Holy week
English'S is used every noon for
religious services and for three
hours on Good Friday.
This will please many people
because two performances of The
Barretts" will not be enough to
accommodate those who want to
see Miss Cornell in this play.
From a box Office standpoint.
the change will be for the adj
vantage of the company and the
theater.
Miss Cornell is anxious to pre-
sent all three plays in Indian
apolis but it is impossible for the
reasons I have stated" Mr.. Hen
derson said.
The Barretts of Wimpole
Street" is the historic romance of
England's great poets, Robert
Browning and Elizabeth Barrett.
With its scene in Miss Barrett's
sitting room in Wimpole street,
London, nearly ninety years ago,
the play follows closely the actual
events which began with the meet
of the two writer's and ended with
their elopement to Italy. Miss
Cornell has acted Elizabeth Bar
rett over six hundred times in
the United States.
"CANDIDA" first was played by
~ Miss Cornell before she be-
came a star in The Green Hat"
Forty years after it was written
Candida" was regarded by many
critics as one of Shaw's best
