A Rapid Fire Critic of hhakeepeare. Mr Ovorgv Bennrd Sbnw, the EngJish auilior mnl plu\ wriidit. punctuafled the •MiaWe*|>enre week” unnlversary exercise* in Ixiulon with some rapid tire opinions on the art and purposes of the creat William. Among other things. Mr, Shaw declared that hr himself has writ ten a Iwtter play than "As Y'ou IJke It" and never anything ao bad as that. Slwkeapeare, acconling to Shaw, found that the only thing that I mid in the theater waa romantic nonsense. and be dished up this particular play os a sample of tbe public taste and threw It Into the faces of theater goers with the phrase “As You Like It.” Shakespeare tried to make the public accept real studies of life and character. as, for instance. “Measure For Measure” and “All's Well Unit Ends Well.” but the public wouldn't have them. Rosalind Is “a fantastic sugar doll" Instead of "the perfect tyjie of woman" commonly described. Shakeai>eare's weaknesses, as they appear to Mr. Khaw, are summed up as follows:

lies ti

his c

plcte deficiency tn that highest sphere of thought in which' poetry embrace* religion. philosophy, morality sad the bearing of these on communities, which Is sociology His characters have no religion, no politics, no const! _ncc. no hope, no convictions of any sort. Hie test of the worth of life Is the vulgar hedonic test and hence, since life cannot be Justified by this or any, other external test. Sl.akespeare comes out of his reflective period a vulgar pessimist oppressed with a logical demonstration that life Is not worth living. This does not mean that Shakespeare lacked the enormous fund of Joyoornsss which la the secret of genius, but simply that, tike most middle class Englishmen bred la private bouses, he was a very Incompetent thinker and took It for granted that all inquiry Into life began and ended with tbe question. “Does It payT" Having worked out his balance sheet and gravely concluded that life's but a poor payer, etc., and thereby deeply Impressed a public which after a due consumption of beer and i _ ' It* Is ready to believe that everything maudlin la tragic and everything sens. ‘ sublime. Shakespeare found himself laughing and writing plays and gettiqg drunk at the Mermaid much as usual, with Ben Jonson finding It necessary. to reprove him for a too exuberant sense of humor. Sfakespeare’a power, tbe eflbc says, lies in bis enormous command of word music, which redeems even his blackguardly repartees and his hollo west

Mayor Weaver.

Tbe Race of Yankees. A recent lecturer before a Chicago chapter of tbe Daughters of tbe Revolution took for bis subject "Tbe Yankees,'’ whom he described growth produced by centuries of upheavals, conflicts, reforms, awakened conscience and a new world. Bald be: The Tanker pioneer waa a hero. N danger appalled him. no defeat disheartened him; he fought everything from tbe Indiana to the itch. In the Puritan settlewhich Tankee character waa Only 1 who lay Ih the churchyards. Tbe strong worked tn the fields, and the fsebtanwaicbed for tbe Indians. Homs life wflP'rigfd and Its discipline severs. On tbs table Uy a Bible, and la the corner hung a rod. Tbe Puritan was versed In one and bandy wl'h tbe other. Tbs pr»SNStnent traits of tbe Tankas are enterprise and push. The term “Yankee" baa bee much abused la tbe past. When tbe

of tbe Hudson with bis pack or wagon be was called a Yankee and taken for a type of tbe aented. But not all Yankees wars peddlers. Jim FUke waa a Yankee, and ao waa Jay Gould in tbe sense of that word in their early days. Then every thing down east was “Tankee" With tbe civil war tbe

Philadelphia’s Revolution. ■ Tbe action of Mayor Weaver on May j Zi in removing Director of Public ! Safety Smyth and Director of Pub- | lie Works Costello was tangible ev- | tdence of hla determination to lead the people in their war on tbe existing eor- | nipt party machinery. Burning bis I bridges behind him and retaining ex Secretary Root or New York and Judge j Gordon of Philadelphia aa hla personal | counsel, the mayor baa marched I lately at the bead of tbe reform forces, prepared tn take extreme legal action j in defense of the city's rights. I Chief Justice Mitchell and Associate j Justice Pottsr of the supreme court Issued s writ of supersedeas suspending

the operation of the Injunction Issued by Judge Ralston of the common pleas court forbidding tbe mayor’s appointees. Director of Safety Potter and Director of Public Works Acker, from exercising the functlona of their offices. Previous to the supreme

court's action tbe mayor had ejected tbe ex-dlrectors from their offices on tbe ground of trespass. The storm of public wrath continued to increase from day to day. spending Ita force In various appeals and threats directed against the members of the city council* who had voted for the

U. G. I. lease.

In tbe face of this furious onslaught the leaders of the powerful Republican machine, backed by extensive commercial interests which they bare subserved, continued to show f ght and prepared to begin Impeachment proceedings against Mayor Weaver. The popular feeling against tbe«e men reached aa intensity never before experienced. Tbe fact waa brought out that the reform organ last ion couki retain scarcely an attorney in all the city for tbe reason that all Were In the ■errIce of some corporation connected with the machine. Wherever Mayor Weaver appeared In public he was acclaimed by the people as tbe hero of the hour. He baa received messages of congratulation from Mayor Dunne of Chicago and many other city officials throughout tbe land. Taft’s Presidential Debut. Tbe Ohio Republican state convention, which met at Cbtnmbaa May 24 and named tbe state ticket, beaded by Governor Herrick, was significant mainly because of tbe prominent part taken by Secretary of War Taft and the enthusiasm displayed 'when his name was mentioned as a candidate f<w tbe presidency In 1008. Secretary Taft waa chosen temporary chairman, and In bis speech he accepted as his own Issues tbs necessity of ntflroad rata legislation and tbe suikttIsIoo of trusts. Nevertheless, he hoped bis party would set Its face like flint against the new Bryan programme of government ownership of railroads. He gar* ana tinted praise to tbe president. itlment was echoed In the platform which waa adopted by the

Basis of Presbyterian Union. The sessions of the Presbyterian general assembly at-Winona Lake, lud., ■bowed from tbe beginning a spirit of unanimity which culminated In the unanimous adoption of tbe report of the committee to which waa referred the answer* of the presbyteries concerning tbe basis of union with the Cumlierland Presbyterian church. This was that “tbe basis of union" should be adopted inasmuch os MM presbyteries, or more than the required twothirds, had declared themselves tor It Dr. Moffat, the moderator, then declared tbe basis of un&n*adopted subject to a conference with tbe committee of the Cumberland church. Thus the Presbyterian church has plainly Indicated Its desire to unite with ail other Presbyterian bodies that are ready to adopt revised standards. Tbe committee on divorce and remarriage reported gratifying progress toward stricter and more uniform legislation. and tbe assembly nimnlmoualy recommends that “ministers should refuse to marry divorced persons except tbe Innocent party In a case where the divorce had been granted on Scriptotal fwm nils.". Nor then until OrattoTtriod of one year baa from tbe date of tbs decision allowing

the divorce. Church In Ui^
