THANK COD FOR THE DRAMA LEAGUE.
The American stage, so far as the serious
purpose of the drama is concerned, is now in a
parlous it ate. It is devoted to entertainment
only, unless it be that students of anatomy may
go to the theater now and Ihen for some ob
servations. That entertainment has, taken on
almost the exclusive form of frivolous dancing,
inane comedy and sublimated buffonery. Mel
odies cribbed from Bach, Beethoven, Verdi and
other of the great composers are done over into
jazz, ayncopstfonsor otherwise distorted from
their great intent and made to grace a holiday
for "Tin-Pan Alley," or to parade in the train
of America's matter of music, harmony, com
edy and literature, who celebrate the Fourth
of July, the0ld flag and Providence, RY I., in
turn. Aroupd these wave the clad; half-clad or
unclad underpinnings of coryphees, ' sprites,
nymphs and the like, interpreting the move'
wients of the "composition", with steps- or gyra
tions as the perfervid imagination of the im
presario or stage director may require , "AH of
thete underpinnings are not the sort that at
tract; some, of them were far better left W the
imagination; but many things must be supported
in the name of Art ;
If one wants dramatic action, one must go
to the movies, there to see shadows pursue one
another acrots a screen, deftly done and ex
peditiously projected, carrying the story of the
play swiftly along from start to finish1, but
without a spoken word, the shadows sustained
by , suggestive . subtitles emanating j from a
"smart" mind, whose bent is for the flippant
rather than an inclination to be helpful to the
observer. ; YY V -! .,' ''
Turn where yon will, th darkness of .Indif
ference and neglect surrounds fhe drama, with
only one ray of light penetrating the gloom.
sThe Drama League of America, hopefully, op
timistie and seriously devoted to the" preserva
tion of the best in. art and literature of the
stage, gives its attention to the work it' has
undertaken with a zeal that must bear a rich
harvest when the time is ripe. It is unthinfc4
able that the American people will forever main
tain their present attitude of levity towards the
theater. "v.-Th Bee likes to think that in due
season the "stage will see a revival ;f interest,
its great educational work ""renewed, ' and its
legitimate' function resumed with' a chastened
but faithful following. If that time does come,
it will be .because the Drama League, like the
Wise VirginKhas kept the lamps trimmed and
burning. . - .' ' ' . ' Y
Here in Omaha a group of intellectual
women, with the association of a few men, have
set the work of the Drama League on a high
plane. Its purpose : is nowhere, better exem
plified, and some day, when the present craie
for the Unworthy has passed, and the curtain
will again be raised to disclose"" a play really
worth while, the managers and the' actors alike
will solemnly but enthusiastically ejaculate,
"Thank God for the Drama UUef ,
Pity the Poof Gold Mint Cramer.
The youthful dentist who remarked that' it
was strange, but that gold uied In filling teeth
had not gone up in price was not amazed that
yardsticks still contain 36 inches,: yet the prin
ciple back of these two things, is exactly the
same. , Goty u a standard for measuring value
just as a qtiarf Cup , is .designed to measure
liquids. N H-:-'-:'. ..
When prices are high, gold dollars will not
buy as much as when prices are low, which is
only another way of saying that a scarcity of
gold means low prices and an abundance of
gold means high prices. These facts, which are
apparent enough, are totally disregarded in
what is known as the McFadden' bill, which
proposes to 'pay the gold mining , companies a
bonus of $10 an ounce for all fold produced,
and tax the people to pay the subsidies.
It is said that the expense, of digging gold is
now. 'greater in many instances than the value
of the product. In the Black Hills and other
fields, mining has been prostrated. Advocates
of the bonus bill say that, inasmuch as the
price of everything else has gone up, the gov
ernment ought, m fairness- to the miners, fix a
higher price for gold. As. well might it be
argued to increase" the number of bqns in a
dozen to fifteen in order to increase the food
supply.- -
The price In American money of an ounce
of gold is determined by the number of dollars
that can be made from an ounce. .To pay, more
than $20.67 for an ounce of Virgin gold would t
be to give more than an ounce of gold in coins
for an ounce of gold in bulk. If gold is too
cheap to pay . for mining it, the sensible thing
to do is to cut production until there" is more
demand for it, which means to wait until prices
fall sufficiently to indicate there is a scarcity
of tfte precious metal
"'; "Master Minda" and Crime.
Y MucV.ia heard, in' stories :of spectacular
crimes of a "Master Mind," a genius of the un
derworld, cleverer than ordinary men, and im
mensely superior to the officers, of the law. In
the movies and. in' other works of fiction this
: type ' is ? often found,' but existsmuch mort
' seldom' X ver. In actual life. ; '
Honest citizens today are able to laugh to
scorn the bungling work of the mail far robbers
who. with millions in their grat, were tumble
avuid detection. ; Scarcely any. newspaper
f ' '.;' " 0 --
reader, man or woman, does not feel that' he
could have done the deed more cleverly than its
actual perpetrators.
Mail pouches were strewn about the coun
tryside and tossed ipto a lake; thousands of
dollars' worth of securities were burned in a
kitchen stove, with charred fragments and metal
clips left to tell the tale; a fortune in bank
notes was heaped up in a chicken coop and
then the detectives stepped in. "
If there was any "master mind" in this case,
it is now in a cell. Much praise, of course, 'is
due the officers who have dealt so promptly
with the railway mail mystery, but nothing but
contempt is called up for the abilities of the
criminals. It doesn't take a very bright man
to go wrong; it doesn't require any high mental
ability to realize that honesty is still the best
policy, and clever criminals exist mainly in
fiction' because most people of intelligence rec
ognize' that both on the side of physical welfare
and on that of peace of mind, it is better to
work for a living than to attempt to steal it
What Is a "Novel?".
Omaha has just had the pleasure that is a
few of Omaha's thoughtful of listening to a
celebrated English literary light on the subject
of "The NoveL" The gentleman expressed him
self as not being well prepared to lecture on
the topic, and thoroughly justified his apology if
the fragmentary accounts of his talk appear
ing in public print fairly speak his views. He
dismissed a very large portiop of the literary
output of the ages- by stating that a book writ
ten to disseminate propaganda is not art per
haps not, but when one recalls what an influ
ence some such works have had on the destiny
of the human race, the question automatically
comes up, "If this is true, is art really worth
while?" vTake Dickcni, for example, whose
every work is a protest against something that
was wrong in the England of his time; or Har
riet Beecher Stowe's one masterpiece, "Uncle
Tom's Cabin," as powerful an agent in the ar
gument against human slavery as came from
any pen. These were clearly propaganda, , but
none the less read and enjoyed because their
message dealt directly with affairs of mankind.
We may accept his estimate of Bennett and
Wells, and a considerable group of their ilk, but
why he does not give some place to Sir Gilbert
Parker, whose "Right of Way" stands pre-eminent
in the list of modern fiction; to A. T.
Quiller-Couch, whose "Ship of Stars" still ihlnes
luminously even through the fog created by the
GatswbrthyS, Conrads and others who have
followed, or Zangwill, whose "Mantle of Eli
jah" is the only recent work comparable to
George Elliott's "Daniel Deronda?" ;
", In listing Jalk; .London, Fratk "Norris and
Theodore Dreiser as the "true exponents of
American life, our visiting brother shows a lack
of knowledge of American ways and manners
that will disappear after he has come to know
the people a little better.' He will then discover
that neither of -these has touched on the true
America any closer, than do the flabby yarns
of Mrs. E. D- E., N. South worth or .the ovcr-
spiced relations, of Robert E. vChamberi. Mark
Twain Jus ''weir placed in his catalogue, but we
wonderfif he ever heard of Howells, of Hamlin
Garland, Bret Harte, George W." Cable, or any
one of a long list of American writers .who
really have placed something of American life,
sectional, perhaps, but truly drawn and without
exaggeration, into American fiction?
We hope that Mr. George' will remain in
America for some time, several weeks if need
be, and learn alt about us. V
Y Art for Life's Sake.
On the artistic side America has not been
developed so fully as might be wished. Ap
preciation of the beautiful for beauty's sake only
is so scant that comparatively few would break
into the routine of everyday life for a visit to
I gallery filled with the most splendid pictures,
the effect being that with sO little encourage
ment for art, we are equally backward in pro
ducing meritorious "works. . '
Y It is in realization of this barrenness of the
spirit that the public schools are now devoting
more care and time toward development of the
instinct for the beautiful. During' the period
of -'the teachers' convention in Omaha an ex
hibit of the poster and craft work of the pupils
of Omaha " was held in the city hall. Enough
of It yet remains on the walls and in the cabi
nets to show the fine progress that has , been
made. Whether in picture or toy the presence
of good taste is evident. From kindergagten to
the'topmost grade the 'children have contributed
to this., showing. :f
A series- of posters illustrating the coming
of the pilgrims combines an interest in history
with artistic ' effort. The meanest article of
household life, cast-off coffee cans, with a coat
of lacquer and a stenciled design, take on a
practical and attractive quality.' v With equal
craft pretty bowls for growing bulbs are pro
duced. Candy boxes, with the use of an added
integument of colored paper become pleasing
containers for childish treasures. Knowledge
of household decoration is encouraged by the
creation of quaint indoor sets, wherein paste
board walls are decorated, with curtained 'win
dows, carefully arranged furniture, and perhaps
a figure of Goldilocks or Little Red Riding
Hood to link it to play. Y . ' Y'
. The result of this- emphasis of art ih daily
periods in the public schools? Beyond these
apparent gains stands another perhaps more im
portant Not all the children, nor any consid
erable number of them, will become artists or
decorators-. From creation of these toys and
trinkets they come to a wider interest and ap
preciation of the masterpieces of art At the
museum on the top floor of the public library
it is said that as. many children as adults come
to view the pictures. They are learning to
make the love of the beautiful a pact of their
lives-, giving promise of a greater stimulation to
a part of life that has been too much neglected,
and crowding out interests and diversions less
worthy or healthful. '

Mrs. G. writes: "I want to give my
experience with my boy. He used to
breath, and one day I hap
sitting near a pan of
halfrmelted snow as he started to
hold, his breath. I dashed a handful
of sndw water In his face. He never
held his . breath again. A friend
whose child held his breath , broke
him by throwing a wet rag into his

This treatment is safe enough, as

cated this same plan a few years ago.
A baby specialist wrote a letter for

children with whom the plan could
not be safely carried out

as to acceleration and deceleration
-"'...-'.-',. . . , ' ,
PVERY time a Marmon 34 is demonstrated, we ask
ito keep the records of a Marjnon Score Card, so
Iv- will have a definite basis of comparison.
Note that when acceleration and deceleration are demon
strated, we do it by stop-watch, so as to be accurate. '
First comes the test of accelerating from 10 to 50 M.-;'
P. H. Then from 10 to 40 M. P. H. Note the pickup,
: the easy, sure flow of power, the smoothness of attain
ing speed.
Then comes the deceleration test. From 50, from 40,
from 20 M. P. H. to a dead-stop.
These tests are simple. But they are the very items
which make the'., Marmon 34 a favorite among the
foremost automotive engineers a majority of whom
own Marmon 34s. Y I
Records must be
provable"
Then have been a great many
general statements, a great
v many spectacular stunts to
Influence but we deal in facta.
tW hare all .sorts' of record
averaging these facts, the re
sults show that the Marmon 34
can be operated on high gear at
a walking pace; that it will
readily go 65 M. P. H.; that It
will accelerate from 10 to 50
. M. P. H. in 17 to 19 seconds; that
on hill climbing it can start on
a better than 8 straight grade
at 5 M. P. H. and accelerate to
35 to. 40 M. P. H. at 1,000 yards.
These are touring car tests, fully
equipped and with driver and
observer.
We ask, however, that in addi
tion to these records, you make
your own observations, driving
if you wish. Then proof will be
final. You will have obtained
it yourself.

To buy any car by accepting

by this new and easy way of
vital comparisons. Marmon
welcomes It, and no dealer
should hesitate in accepting
this basis of demonstration. '
Insist upon It. Beware of any
