(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ————— ee Shakespeare *For a long time the world in general, and the | English-speaking portion of it in particular, has béen taking a certain gentleman who once dwelt on | the banks of the Avon with too great a degree of; sériousness. We refer, of course to Will Shakes- {| peare, to whom the centuries have been most kind. | *Time not only has mellowed and enhanced the | gentlem literary excellence but it has gone on | to give him considerably more credit than was his dhe as a wit and philosopher. Hamlet, of course, is still Hamlet, and the great ness of that melancholy prince has withstood the acid test of plus fours. We submit that if anything | in the world js calculated to change a tragedy into a farce it is the attire of the present day golfer. But Hamlet. survived even this. But ever and anon something occurs that raises | al'sharp challenge to the bard’s reputedly great knowledge of phenomena. Little things have a way of creeping into the news; very little things, but so many that, were we to array them all together, they would present a very formidable refutation of some of the Shakespearian philosophy. The latest is a piece of news from Chicago. It seems that 62,000 boys and girls sang in a mighty chorus during the ceremonies attendant on the 28th International Eucharistic , Congress. Now the leader of that chorus—the largest we are assured, ig all history—was not Smith, or Perkins, cr Jones. | or Laufersweiler, or yet O’Laughlin. No indeed. His name was Singenberger. The question arises, where under the sun will you find, for the purpose of leading the world’s largest etllection of voices a finer, sturdier, more qualified and more honest name than Singenberger? If you wanted to be instructed in the art of being vocally musical, to whom would you go—to a man named Hamburger or a man named Singenberger? It was Shakespeare—none other—who once raised the question as to the value of names. “What’s in a name?” he asked, “A rose by any other ttame would smell as sweet.” That, we maintain, is not philosophy. Or, at best, itis pretty shallow philosophy. There are many names that have very pronounced echoic qualities to them. For instance, there is the word “gooey.’ We dare you to think of “gooey” as something that is not sticky and gummy. And as for the rose, weli, Would its fragrance be as sweet if it were called, for instance, a wiener? It seems to us that many of the pearly drops of Shakespearian wisdom that have come reeling and rocking down the ages are just a little “phony,” ff you know what we mean. alive today and gave utterance to some of his fam- ous phrases, we would be willing to wager a week’s salary against your other golf ball that he would be set down as something of a wisecracker instead @f an oracle. s Mrs. Custer’s Secret Sixty-two years ago there was romance on the Hudson when a young lady and her dashing soldier hoy from West Point were married. =The young soldier was brave; throughout the Civil War he distinguished himself in a half dozen battles, from Gettysburg to Appomattox. So the young soldier was made a general and sent to the ‘West where the railroad was blazing its way through forests and over plains where hostile Indians fought i€ with all their might. The young soldier and his 200 men, equipped with + @cient carbines that were relics in the Civil Wer, met their deaths. They died, to a man, fighting Shoulder to shoulder. 4.The wife of the young soldier still lives and re- Members.

The referendum—first, by the way, under the re- publican constitution—showed almost three votes | for confiscating the imperial properties to one in| favor of the royal family, but the vote for confisca- tion was about five millions short of being enough. | The negative vote had no relation to the result | at all, the adoption of the measure depending oni whether half the electorate—about 20 millions— voted affirmatively. Fewer than 15,000,000 so voted, fully 60 per cent of the eligible voters stay- | ing away from the polls, Here in America we often sleep while the pro- fessional politicians, gambling on our lack of in- terest in the ballot which should be so precious to us, “put things over” on us. The German system of requiring half the. elec- torate to bring about the transfer of Hohenzollern wealth, while a little strange to us in America, is based on the principle of rule by majority. It should have been enough to spur the lagging interest of | even the most lackadaisical voters. The incident should be a lesson to citizens of the | United States. If we want a voice in the govern- | ment of this country we have to vote. Exploring Amundsen going to quit? What a pity. path could be turned into channels requiring less physical activity. And a little more exploration might find the answers to these problems: | Why does your wife have the same thing for dinner you had for lunch downtown? | Why is it moths almost never eat patches? And | why is it the bands in the parade quit playing just before they arrive at the spot where you have await- ed their thills? Why? Why? investigating. Why is it plump people always sit on the aisle seats in the movies and make their more slender brethren squeeze past?

Another reason, then, for doing something about the smoke menace in cities where it exists. | Editorial Comment | Why They Don’t Vote (The Minneapolis Journal) e Less than 88,000 of the 195,000 registered voters |neither of the Twins felt hurt a bit.

From that day interest began to wane, not only in the primary itself, but often- times in the election that followed. The subsidence of political parties, of the interest and loyalty to political parties, accounts, no doubt, for the fact that only a minority of the voters participate in primaries nowadays. | Then it must be remembered that giving women the ballot doubled the number of possible voters, but | has not as yet anywhere near doubled the number | of actual voters.

Trained investigators of the University’s local community research com- mittee interviewed more than 5,300 representative non-voters. ‘“Physieal difficulties” accounted for 25.4 per cent; “legal and administrative difficulties” for 12.6 per cent; and “disbelief in voting” for 17.7 ;Per cent.
