Councilman Griffiths wants to take the selection of the corporation attorney away from the people and vest that power in the council, Such a proposal coming from a reactionary, from a man looking backward, would occasion little surprise, but Griffiths was elected as a progressive.

Degrading the Stage Theatre goers in all the big cities of Germany have gone mad over Schnitzler’s play, “Das Wiete Land”—that boundless domain, the human soul. The story of the thing runs thus: leasure-loving and unfaithful husband is loved to distraction by a wife. He ts flippant and cynical and finally tells her to follow Bis example. She does so. Then the husband discovers that he has an Worshipful adoration for her, kills her boyish lover, and they live happily ever after, thus proving that disloyalty does not preclude i [ & 2 i love. Nice picture of the human soul, isn't it? of the human gizzard.
