After all, the president'! menage
was rather tame, In view of the fact
that he Is making such elaborate plana
to slaughter wild game.
Tut, tut, Mr. President. Why per
slit In calling men liars? isn't It much
nicer to tay that they are not on
speaking terras with the truth?
An enthusiastic exchange says that
the president's message was like a
hymn to prosperity. Well, If It was.
It certainly wasn't In short meter.

The New York politicians are still
discussing the late election. Why
thresh over this old straw? In view
of the length of the executive whiskers
la It any wonder that Governor
Hughes swept the state.
Champ Clark was once aa editorial
space filler on e newspaper In Mis-
fourl. No wonder hla knowledge of
nblic affairs la ao intimate and so
nprehenalvd. Ho was trained In the
school of statesmanship.
afotr is pot always in be found In
ultitude of councillors. Some time
i a New York lady was represented
court by twenty-two lawyers, but
, uie cate was nevertheless dismissed
on a technicality before it could get to
Jury box. Of course, there were
no Atlanta lawyers In the bunch.
Our genial friend, Cbauncey, may
not be Idle when hla senatorial term
> ilitres. The advisability of estab
lishing a chair of jwst-prandlal oratory
In one of the great univenltlea Is
!■< ag discussed; and the eyes of the
' hole country In this connection are
be usaed upon the effulgent connte-
i i uce of the Junior senator from New
Turn On the Light.
On the heels of the presidential election The New York World In
strong editorial pleas It urging congress to crystallize Into statute tho
well-nigh universal demand for' tho publicity of campaign funds.
The World wa* the flrat of tho great metropolitan organa of public
opinion to voice the demands of the country ujion this vital Issue of
American politics.
Consequently, the jealous feeling of ploneerhood Inspires to some ex
tent the eloquent entreaties of the Gotham newspaper.
But the cry is, nevertheless, heard on every side;
"Turn on the light!”
It Is not likely that the Republican congress which Is now in session
will go the full length of the Democratic tether and Insist upon ante-clec-
tlon disclosures of campaign funds. Tho Republican plan of making an
Inventory of the cash aaaets'after the election will perhaps be scanned
with greater favor. But even this la of Democratic Inspiration; and If
put Into law will be In the nature of Democratic progress.
In this connection It may be said that In tho belated publication of
the Republican campaign fund there are many crumba of comfort for the
Democrats.
Not only was the aggregate many times greater than the paltry sum
counted by the Democratic campaign committee, but It came In large
amount* from the protected Interests, whereas the Democratic fund wa»
contributed In small amounts by tho tolling masses.
It Is true that the Republican campaign fund this year was much
smaller'than usual, because It Jacked the contributions of tho big trusts
and monopolies; but what must have .been the prodigal tonnage of pre
cious ore In the golden days of Mark Hanna!
The New Minority Leader.
The choice of Congressman Champ Clark, of Missouri, for the mluorl-
ty leadership In the national housp of representative! reflects credit
upon the party of whose legislative Interests he becomes In large meas
ure the recognised custodian.
Incidentally, It must also bo gratifying to Senator-elect John Sharp
Williams that his mantle has fallen upon the shoulders of one *o dis
tinguished In public life and eo acceptable to the Democratic party
throughout the country at large.
Mr. Clark has served In the national ’ house for twelve consecutive
year*; and, to all who are familiar with the mental caliber of tho Mis
souri congressman It 1* useless to add that ho has taken su Influential
part In shaping the measures which have been enacted Into law.
Not only In the gladiatorial contests upon the floor, but In the calmer
and less conspicuous deliberations of the committee room he has been a
model of public servants, evincing at all timea a zeal which has been
both vigilant and tireless. ,
An adroit tactician, as well as an able debater, he la posted upon all
the dollcate and difficult queatlona of parliamentary law, and la fully
equipped in every respect to assume the responsibilities which .attach to
leadership.
Nor la it an unimportant element of strength In Champ Clark's Intel
lectual and moral make-up that he possesses the saving grace of humor.
With the solid support of the Democratic contingent In the lower
house It requires no prophetic insight to predict that the legislative inter-
cstf of tho national Democracy will not auffor In tho discreet hands of
the new minority leader.
The New Diocese of Atlanta.
The Initial convention of the new Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
Atlanta Is too Important an Item of Interest to escape attention, even
among the hustling secular activities of this wide-awako metropolis.
Beside* bringing to this city 1 for the time being a distinguished body
of men, both lay and clerical, It emphasizes tho substantial growth which
the Protectant Episcopal church In Georgia has attained; for the neces
sity of dividing, the territorial Jurisdiction of the church li In Itself a
commentary upon Its Increaso* In numbers and its vigor of oxpan3lon.
Moreover, by Indirect Implication rather than by mere boast. It calls
attention to the Important part which this devout religious communion
has taken In tho moral and spiritual elevation of th* commonwealth.
Incidentally, the consecration of All Saints church has been an Im
pressive episode of Jho convocation.
The line of demarkatlon between the two Episcopal sub-diviftona of
the stato Is so drawn that Atlanta, Marietta, Rome, Athena, Macon and
Columbus fall wlihln the jurisdiction of Bishop Nelson; and these strong
holds of the church have been nbly represented la the diocesan conven
tion.
Atlanta takes peculiar pride In the fact that Bishop Nelson has relin
quished the title of blshoji of Georgia to become bishop of tho populous
and Important diocese of Atlanta, mid that he will continue to make hla
homo In Georgia's capital city, where hts warm admirers embraco all
denomination*.

It’s * queer old play, tfait "Lord Don-
drear y." If toy young playwright of the
past derad# had written It there'a hardly a
manager who would ec<?*pt it for even the
ten-twent-thirt circuit. Ho couldn't gee *nyt
thin" in it. It ia tawdry, commonplace;
crudely melodramatic. It hat none of the
touches of modern stagecraft
But wait. That'* only the rlejf of the
play from reading it. When you hear Both
em stammer the line*, watch hi* little catch
•tep skip* are him fondle the whisker* which
their name from the play, atudy the
vartiity in 'the countenance of tbia cheerful
Idiot aa He pusalea over aome foolish pr>b
Jem and dJimiaaea it aa "one of ipoee things
no fellah can find out"—then you under-
atand why all America waa Dundreary road in
the early OO'a. The simple situations become
surcharged with fntereat, (he commonplace
wit sparkle* on the* lipa of the playera, even
the melodrama of the will ia almnat intereat
ing. You lean back in lazy enjoyment and
ehuckfe softly at Dundrrary’a foolery and
you don't care a rap whether ihe joke ia
old or new.
And that'a one reaaon you feel at flrat
that Dundreary la commonplace. You've
heard all the jokea before. Some of them
wero your grandfather'* favorite*. An old
lady once remarked 0:1 arcing Hamlet that
it waa crammed full of quotation* and noth
ing original in it, and in Dundreary you find
many of three old friend*. It might be the
father of the monologue; certainly it ia the
creator of the atage KngHahman. It hat
furniahed the haul* for many a vaudeville
aketch, haa given idea* to half a hundred
playwright!.
It muat hare been intereating to our fore,
fathera to watch the evolution of Lord Dun
dreary, In th# hand* of E. A. Bothern, from
a minor role to the central figure of the play.
It wda "Our American Cousin" then and
Aaa Trenrhard waa the "atar" part. To.the
elder . Sot hern—he waa the young Bothern
than—fell merely a "bit," the role of an
English fop which might well he obscured
in the tnnaa of characters. # But Bothern saw
its poaaihilltlea, sat up Vnights with it,
added- a touch here and a iine there, intro
duced this "businesa" and that, until befora
the play waa fairly known Dundreary wa*
everything and Asa Trenchard but a shadow.
That waa a triumph any player might #nvy.
It wa* Sothcrn'a stepping stone to success.
It a pauses us to see old Tom Taylor's con
cept ion of an American visiting English
cousins, for Asa Trenchard la a type wa have
never seen off stage. But it la the same type
which Dickena drew in Chusslewit and It
must have been old England's conception of
tha savages across the sea.
Lord Dundreary la a queer stady. He Is
a fool, a well bred fool, a harmless, egotisti
cal simpleton and as overdrawn a type
of the English nobility of the period aa
Trenchard is of tha American. He hatea to
go to bed, for it's such a bother getting up
In the morning; ha dawdles about with the
women and trie* to aay clever things aome
fellah told him, but he invariably forgets the
point, and if he attempts a conundrum he
finds h# has mislaid th# answer. Hi* mind
haa queer kinka and turns nnd hia reasoning
takes an erratic course. But hia heart is
very ilka other fellows' hearts and he never
loses his good nature, even in the fere of
the ill-eoncealed ridicule which meets him at
every turn.
We of the younger generation have no op
portunity to compere tha new Dundreary
with the old, but it*Is hard to believe the
elder Soihem could have given It more chatai
than that with which hia son+imbuea It. It
must hare been a labor of lore for the fon
to hare brought to lift the character which
won hia father fame, and the old theater
goers aay he has been faithful to Che minut
est detail in presenting Dundreary aa his
creator eonceired him. Tho queer little skip,
tho Hap, the fingering of ellky whiskers, the
’ monocle and the peacock dreaa—all nre a
' replica of the Dundreary of the 00‘e. One
! cannot rerognize the Bothern of tbe "romantic
drama behind the stony store of Dundreary,
so thoroughly ia the player's Individuality
hidden in the character'be portrays. Thero
has not been sbeh a presentation of a "char
acter role" alnce Manafleld’s Baron Chevrlal.
The often vapid lines of Dundreary overflow
with humor aa Bother reads (hero, the trite
and ordinary phrases brim with smile-pro
voking wit. As one leans back and chuckles
qnlotijr at his delicious nonsense the idea
comes that from Bothern'a lipa a weather
report would sparkle like a story by Mark
Twain. And Bothern never oversteps the
line which divides true humor and burlesque
—never hammers a point Into the heads of
bis audience, never descends to the horsepfty
which so many players present or humor.
His Dundreary is polished into a scintillat
ing gem of come4y which will live in the
memory of the^preaent generation as the'old
Dundreary has lived thru fifty years.
But old Tom Taylor did not write "Our
American Cousin" for a atar—those were
the days when the play was first, tha players
afterward, and when every men and woman
in the stock companies of that period had a
claim to recognition. The author gave them
all a chance. He gave to Asa Trenchard a
part filled with broad humor closely akin to
horseplay. To^ Richard Coyla lie gave a
heavy role, ahort In i;s lines, but full of feel
ing. To Abel Murcott, the drupken clerk, fell
rare possibilities in a difficult bit. To Buddi*
combe, ‘the valet of Dundreary, fell a Cock
ney role rollicking with delicious effrontery.
Even Binncy, the butler, had hia share of
the fun and 8!r Edward a good bit in a
."first old man’s" role. To the women the
playwright was less kind. He used them aa
settings for hia eomedy. bestowing upon Mrs,
Montchessington A few comedy lines, giving
Florence a few touches of sentiment, end
forcing Georgians to sit like Patience on a
monument thru twenty minutes • of Dun
dreary’a twaddle without a line to relieve
the tension of her ordeal. To Mary Mere
dith he gave two snenea of little moment—the
other womqn he was content to use es ley
figures upon which to hang the hoopskirts
of tha day.
Mr. 8othsrn’s company is sesn to advan
tage under these conditions. Miss Gladys
Hanson Mnook, who received such homage
from Atlanta friends in her stellar role in
"Richard Lovelace," was the Georgians in
"Dundreary" and had small opportunity to
prove her ability. But she did her best with
what was given her, and hsr poise and ease
served her in good stead in h*r mute scenes
with the foolish lord. 8he has learned that
most difficult of arts—the art of keeping
quiet before an audienca without standing
like an image.
There are too many good bit* in "Dnn-
dreary" to give each player the mention he
deserves, but Malcolm Bradley's first scene,
when he telle the story of hie downfall, is a
rare bit of acting, and thq insinuating drollery
of Albert Howeon ae Buddlcombe ie a etudy
of a London type worth copying by those
who aspire to such a role. And each and
every player, frqm the opening scene to the
last Knee of the dispnted epilogue, fits Into the
aetlqn of the play as tho one mind directed
thoir every movement. There hee, perhaps,
never been a more thoroughly artistic pres*
entation at the Grand.

One Day’s Hunt.
A correspondent of The Vldatla Ad
vance tells of a Thanksgiving hunt a
party had lif Big Sink on -the Altamaha.
This Is what happened:
"We killed nit the squirrels we want
ed, caught alt of the flsh we could dis
pose of. killed three alligators, one oivt,
one snipe, one rattler with fifteen rat
tles and one of the finest bucks that
roams the forest. I forgot to tell you
about the raccoons. We caught four
the first morning and eight the second.
We found two bee trees that are big
enough to hold 100 gallons of honey.
We are going back at the proper Urns
to cut them."
Thtir Sad Experience.
Quite a nutnber of people from this
section visited. the circus at Wllla-
coochee Thanksgiving aay. Some of
the young men came back "sadder, but
wiser." They were fleeced of their
hnrd-earned coin. They couldn't play
the other fellow's game nearly so welt
as he could,—Pearson Cor. WHlacoochee
