Selling the "Patent aroused the disgust of every true Christian and the ridicule of the out rider who merely looks on." Mrs. Harry W. Smith, daughter of a minister and a bible student, profes sionally know as Jessie Shirley and head of her own stock company, which has played in Spokane nearly four years, consecutively, reads the fore going indictments in an open letter in reply to Rev. "Billy" Sunday, ex-baseball player and revivalist, who viciously attacked the stage and the theatrical profession in a discourse of two hours' duration at the Spokane Tabernacle re cently. After declaring that Sunday probably realizes that he can reach his class of heart n more directly by the use of smut and s'ang, Mrs. Smith says "there is something irresistibly funny in be ing called a 'mut' and a 'lobster,' and when you hear a so-called Christian shriek, 'This whole town can go to hell,' you have listened to the seme of elo quence." Mrs. Smith continues: "If you feel that you must attack the theater to hold your job, look up a few historical facts regarding the sub ject and don't become the laughing stock of all well-informed theatrical You state that not only the but the press condemns the theatre; What do you mean by 'the press".' Do you mean the Christian Advocate and the War Cry, or that mighty poer-the American news paper, in whose columns will daily be found a review of the current plays, with usually an intelligent criticism of the Eame? Or do you refer to the en ormous list of monthly magazines that almost without exception have an in teresting dramatic department us one of the leading features? "Nor does the church in general con demn the stage. Not only the Jews and the catholics, but a number of the Protestant sects are liberal patrons of the theaters, and there is today in America a strong organization know as the Actors' Church Alliancp, designed and organized by a few broad-minded I people.

G.-The home ward journey of the American battlt ship fleet began today, anchors were weighed and with the bands playing "Home Sweet Home," Rear Admiral S perry's sixteen war vessels turned their prows toward the United States. The last lap of the circumnavigating cruise of 45,000 miles was begun. One hour later the ships were well clear of the land and steaming westward in double column at a speed of ten knots an hour. Admiral Sperry has laid his course along the southern route to Hampton Rwds, a distance of 3, COO miles, and about 1,000 miles off the American coast they will be met and escorted home by the third squadron of the At lantic fleet under Rear Admiral Arnold. The American battleship fleet left Hampton Roads Dec. 10, 1907, and when it again anchors in that port Feb. 22 it will have been gone one year and sixty-eight days. No accident has marked the progress of the greatest armed fleet that ever made such a long voyage. The cruise has been in every respect an unqualified success. I The trip has been watched with the greatest interest by all foreign powers, I and wherever the vessels called, South ! America, Australia, Japan, China, Cey I Ion, Egypt and the ports of the Medi I terranean, the officers tnd men have ! been given hearty official and private i welcome. stage, which, having the advantage of effective settings and lifelike represent ations, can and does drive more ser mons home than is possible to the limit ed scope of the pulpit. Preach me a sermon as strong, as touching and as eloquent as 'the Holy City' and 1 will listen to you. "Even in the most poorly constructed melodrama virtue triumphs and vice is defeated. In that respect I regret to say that the drama is not always true to life, for in real life we often see the hypocrite and rascal prosperous and se cure, while the honest man goes under, Still, the intention of the dramatist in meting out the proper amount of punish ment and reward is a worthy one and to be commended. "You say 'take the leg shows off the stage and the theaters would not make their salt.' Wrong again, Mr. Sunday. The life of the average musical show is but a fleeting one and the few that sur vive owe their longer existence to the real merit of the musical numbers and the wit of the text, while the greatest moneymakers have been found in the stronger and deeper plays that live for years and are always welcomed by in telligent audienceF. "I do not claim that all plays are moral. That would be a foolish state ment, but shall we sweepingly condemn the stage because some objectionable works have found a hearing there? As well wipe out literature because there have been obscene and immoral books published at various time, or destroy the church because it has sanctioned many crimes-countless murders, during its career. You say: "The only way to purify the theater is to turn it into something else.' Wake up, Mr. Sun day, you are not living in the dark ages now, but in the 20th century. We have happily passed the period when we could cheerfully burn at the stake any one who did not happen to believe as we did and then justify our crime un der the mysterious work, 'witchraft,' and delude ourselves unto the belief that a long face and a tiresome Puri tan Sabbath had squared our crimes ments. I have been on the stage near ly 15 years, yet I have always been as sociated with ladies and gentlemen of honest and upright principles. Many of them are devout followers of differ ent creeds, and of all the scores of act resses I know I can not now recall more than one or two of whose morality there was the slightest question. "Columns could be written on the subject of 'The Stage,' both its moral and intellectual aspects. The fact that the stage has not only survived the struggles and vicissitudes of its earlier career, its persecutions by narrow minded bigots, its discouragements and hard knocks, but has risen steady above them to become what it is today the greatest institution of modern times, patronized by brilliant and refined men and women and constantly progressing toward a higher standard, seems the best proof of the fitness of its surivival. "Mr. Sunday, you repeatedly say the Bible is good enough for you. It is; it s good enough for any one. What does it say about bearing false witness against your neighbor? What does it say about 'Judge not lest ye be judged'? What does it say about calling your brother a fool? What does it say about Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal'? "You profess to be a follower of the gentle Christ, who said, 'Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not,' yet you banish the little tots from your services. You wheedle $50 out of 'Jimmie' Durkin, liquor deal er, an then with the coolest nerve you openly say, 'I would not have the saloon keepers' dirty money.' 'Consistency, thou are indeed a jewel?' Your every action gives the lie to your professed Christianity. "Probably with your usual courtesy and refinement you will call me a 'yellow dotr.' aB you called the others who ventured to criticise your methods, That is a very easy way of side-stepping an argument; but after all it is not so bad to be called a 'yellow dog.' Surely the little yellow dog who has the cour age to bark at the heels of a humbug is entitled to more respect than the crowd who runs away from the bark "You say you hate the theater be cause God hates it. How do you know He does? Point out to me one passage in which Christ denounced the theater, which was in existence several hundred years before His advent, and I will give $100 to any worthy, charitable organ ization in Spokane. Now, Mr. Sunday, it's up to you."
