These men will now o@iehunce to make up for lost time. out of college, eager to lay aside the cares of book . lore, will be only too glad to take advantage of wheat fields of the middle west |if only for the summer. Any youth be- tween the age of eighteen’and twen- ty-one years could easily make the trip from New England to Kansas or Missouri and have an enjoyable va- cation under the balmy skies of the glorious middle west, ' Such’ an ex- cursion would instil new life in bod- ies broken down 'under ' duress .of study. To the boys whoxwill go back to school in September, it would be a beneficial journey. Aside from the monetary value attached therto, the question of health enters. Laboring in the West is lookéd upon in a different light than laboring in the East, so if there are those who have scruples about seeking employ- ment of any kind they need never fear about earning their liviihood at the sweat of their brow in the West. Qut there they call you a better man for having done a good day's work. With such a condition as that set forth in the Department of Labor re- port, there iz no need for the men of the East to linger around this sum- mer and while away their time on the streets. This should be & good chance for the police departments of some of our big eastern cities to clean out that brand of undesirable citizens that goes about forever with hands extended, expecting help from all. As Horace ‘Greely advised, the police man should tell this brand of ‘citizens to “Go West!” out-or- door life and hie themselves to the PROTECTING THE FLAG. Under a Massachusetts law, magd- zines showing the American flag on their covers are barred from circula- tion. In one instance, the ' offense cited was merely the depiction of an old lady, perhaps as kindly and pa- triotic as Betsy Ross, who was seen weaving fanciful stitches on the stars and stripes. There is no doubt the - principle which formulated the Massachusetts law, is a good one insofar as it would command respéect for the American flag. But when the legislators of the old bay State unmd 1h 'diréefing their efto against’the magazines -whose | covers carried the Stars and Stripes it seems as if muech of thelr energy ‘went to waste. Magazine editors for the most part are patriotic people. however much they may be abused on' othér scores. Left in their hands 'the American flag would rarely, if ever, bé :dese-] crated. Among the drafters of that law there must have heen some man who received one morning in his mail 8 rejected, manuscript; possibly an}| ode he had written to “The Flag.” ' What the legislators of Massachu- setts and the lawmakers of. other states should do, 18 to pass laws mak- ing it a serious offense to use the flag in cheap theatrical performances. In nearly every American thuter, audl- ences hiave been shocked by the use ‘of the American flag in this manner. Every cheap act in vaudeville, des- tined to' failure because of its un- worthiness, has resorted to the wild and enthusiastic waving of the Amer- ican flag to bring on a storm of ap- plause and thus end up the act in whirl-wind fashion. % Managers of theaters, more imbued with the business of gathering in mighty dollars at the box-office than with purlouc principles have often mistaken 'this ‘demonstration as con-| donement for the performance, when, as a matter of fact, the audience was manifesting its love for = Old Glory. On the strength of such applause many an act nas had its rate of com- pensation increased, and has gone forth to other theaters only to wave the flag more enthusiastically when, the act should have been = dismissed from the circuit. It is 4 well known prlnc!ple among many theatrical producers that “Whaen all else fails, bring on the American flag.” Changing conditions in the theatrical field offers a chance to do some good by legislation if the makers of our laws u;ant something to work on. American magazines do not depend on the American flag for sales; but there are many theatrical performances walch would be doomed to oblivion were the flag taken away from them. Old Glory is too sacred an gnulxnl, to be used in this manner, SR S “Bryan fights 'ais way into Madi- Son Square Garden to talk peace," comments a, New York paper, W, J, "B."is determined to talk peace even if he has tg fight, They're doing the same thing in Mexico, 5 New.

McMILLAN 199-201-203 MAIN STREET ° | 1 The Shakespeare Celebration fn 1916 | (Bridgeport Standard) The Shakespeare revival, that is be- ing prepared . for throughout - the country, in anticipation of the cele- bration next year of':the. 300th ‘anni- versary of the poet's death; will give new impulse to the nation’s appre- ciation not only 6f Shakespeare, but of dramatic art in general. The sys- tematic study of Shakespeare by local jorganizations and schools, with the Hefinite purpose of co-operating ac- tively in the celebration, will arouse | an interest that is not usually attained | it desultory study and the result will be the more lasting. The real understanding and appre- ciation of a single masterpiece of lit- erature opens a new and broader hot- izen to the mind and leads to exclir: sions into the fields of other writers and a growing interest in other arts.” The efforts of the Drama League of America to promote interest in ' the Shékespeare pageants -and programs that will ‘be held in all parts of the country during April, May and June of 1916 are helping to raise the stand- ard of the popular appreciation of-the | drama and should be given generous support. Gunda, the Mad Elephant, (Springfield Republican) Every humanitarian who ‘has known of the case must feel relief over the executjon of Gunda, the un- | governsble, “mad” elephant, of the | Bronx “zoo,”" New York. The great beast wag probably the finest physi- | cal specimen of his specles in this country, but for the past six vears he had been a constant menace to the keeper's life and a sore vexatlon to every one of 8, P, C. A, tendenclies, In him the natural promptings of the wild animal were so strong that for half of every vear. his life of e¢on- finement was 4 cruel torture. 'Gunda was twenty years old and had been! in the ‘“zoo" for eleven years. The | torn conditlon of his ears indlcated 'hig- temperament when he first ar- rived from India, but it was not un- til several years later that it became necessary to chain him in close con- finement, His sufferings since that time ean only. be imagined. That they Wwere inténse there can be no doubt. Campaigns for his relief by death have been pushed at various times, but it was not until this week that Director Willlam T. Hornaday gave up hope of taming the huge. brute.
