Forbes-Robertson on the Theatre The great English actor, Johnston ForbesRobertson, has contributed an interesting and illuminating article on the theater to the Century

Magazine for February. The great exponent of

Shakespeare, after a quarter century of exper

ience, is very optimistic regarding the future of

the drama.

"I think that the stage today," he says, "re

garded as a whole is vastly better than it was half a century ago. Everything has improved

in the theater." He believes that plays are better written, bet

ter staged, better produced, and that while stars are not so frequent as heretofore, the ensemble

work of companies is much improved.

He has seen, also, an improvement in audienc

es which is quite as important a matter as im

provement in plays. This is shown, he holds, by the increased popularity of Shakespeare, whose dramas are better presented and interpreted

than ever. And not only is Shakespeare better mfpd- other hiffh class dramatists also

are coming into an increased popularity.

"To my mind," the actor writes, "the desire and appreciation of the public for the best the author, the actor, and the manager can and will

give, were never so great as now."

Mr. Forbes-Robertson is not panic-stricken at

the inroads of the moving picture theatre and other similar amusements in the sphere of the

drama. He believes the theater to be a perma

tipnt. institution. "Nothine. he says, "can re

place the spoken word upon the stage."

'But theater managers must go more than half way to meet the public. An appreciation of the classics in any art is an acquired taste: only

a limited few appreciate Chopin, George Mere

dith. Winslow Homer, Michaelangelo and great

masters in all lines. Forbes-Robertson has slight patience with dramatic censors. No individual, no bureau, can be competent, he holds, to decide for the people. "The public is generally the best censor of the stage." Perhaps the most significant thing in his essay is the whole-hearted way in which he endorses the municipal and the state theater. "I look forward to the time, as did Sir Henry Irving, when every large city, both in England and America will have its own municipal theater, supported by its inhabitants, and encouraged by the enthusiasm of the devotees of all that is best in the art of the drama. Then, and then only, will the theater be in full possession of all its powers, and will take its rightful place among the other arts." The great actor is perhaps most of all impressed, as he studies the dramatic situation of the present, by the fact that spiritual power, character, and individuality are gradually replacing the erstwhile domination of mechanical scenery, mechanical production, and the too elaborate machinery of over-staged plays. In short, he finds every reason to believe that the theater is rapidly becoming a great spiritual power in modern society.

these visits have been nothing else than moves in that great scheme by which he hopes to realise his dreams of Qermaa empire; So also, aver these critics, is to be interpreted his activities in braiding up an army and navy. The German amy is perhaps the best equipped fighting machine on the planet. WfiHam would have it that this war power serves for nothing else than to guarantee the industrial development of his country. But his critics hold that

this is simply a weapon which he is fashioning wherewith to conquer and subdue sister nations.

In this way they interpret Germany's navy.

"What does this mean," they ask, "tf not that William aspires to conquer England and control

Europe?" But William himself explains this navy as a pledge of peace. "Every German warship launched," he says, "is one guarantee more for peace on earth," and elsewhere states that he believes that every civilized nation must arm itself against the inevitable day when the great barbarian Oriental peoples begin to overflow Europe. Perhaps the thing which most sets the German Emperor apart and gives him a place of chief conspicuousness among all rulers of this day is his gigantic dream of Pan-Germanism. Alongside this scheme, the ambitions of Alexander the Great, the policies of Julius Caesar, and

the aspirations of Napoleon, are meager in the extreme. Pan-Germanism means nothing less than that Germany shall monopolize the industry of Europe, shall control the policies of Africa and Asia, and shall ultimately dominate the world. At the basis of this vast program lies the Emperor's conviction that German culture, German industry, German civilization, is that type of civilization divinely selected to be the enduring and permanent form of social life in the earth. And the Emperor believes himself to be the divinely appointed sovereign, ruling through divine right, to inaugurate the rule and reign of Germanism in the world. "Germanism," he said, "must everywhere expand and impose itself." According to the interpretation of some students, the events and developments in Germany and most of the recent European and Asiatic wars are to be interpreted in the light of this great scheme. They would have us believe that Pan-Germanism is the focal center of world politics. William is perhaps the best equipped man for undertaking such a scheme as this that now lives. He has an indomitable courage and unbreakable will, tireless perseverance and an ambition like

a consuming lire. This is characteristically shown in the way in which he has become an athletic army leader, sportsman and horseman, though one arm has been helpless since childhood. Perhaps the key to Emperor William's character and to his career lies in his extraordinary religious consciousness. To him religion is the

one great abiding reality and the rulership of God on earth is to him more definite and more real than any other rulership. Add to this religious passion and religious consciousness his own conviction that he is a kind of divine vicar, ordained to mediate God's great purposes on earth, and we can understand something of the man. For all these reasons, the birthday of such a ruler is of significance and interest to all people. And because of his policies and his ambitions, he will probably stand in the center of the stage of political interest during all his future birthdays.

STORY OF TROTTER CAUSESAMUMBER (Coatinued from Page One)

Germany's War Lord Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert, otherwise known as William II, Emperor of Germany, yesterday celebrated his fifty-fifth birthday. This was an event of more than German importance because the head of the German people is one of the conspicuous figures of the present age. He was born and reared in a miliatry atmosphere; as a child he became saturated with the military spirit and, in spite of the liberalism of his parents, was converted to the autocracy and militarism of which Bismarck was the great exponent. But in spite of his sympathy with the Bismarckian policies, he had not been on the throne two years when he quarreled with the great chancellor and compelled him to retire. This one act revealed to the German people the resoluteness and the uncompromising rulerhood of the young Emperor. But though Bismarck himself was deposed and alienated from the good graces of the ruler, Bismarckianism held its own and still seems to be the presiding genius of the empire. The Triple Alliance, largely established by Bismarck, is still intact and has been guarded and protected at every point by the Emperor. But William has gone farther than Bismarck even dared to go. The chancellor's program was too negative, too conservative, for the Emperor: he has added to it a positiveness and a. progressiveness which before did not characterize it. One of the policies of William has been to establish relationships with his neighboring countries. In order to do this, he has traveled much. More than once he has been entertained at the courts of Russia, France, Greece, England, Turkey, Austria and Italy. According to the Emperor, these were friendly visits: according to his critics and enemies, they have been merely Machiavellian attempts to undermine the rela-

guy on om side? Well, I am after taking'. Mr. Honeywell selected this text for me: John 8th Chapter, 6th verse. "If the son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed." It Is no trouble for me to talk about it. I can take a text and leave it and never get

back to it. I am long on texts. I preached the other night on three of them. Ye shall be free from the condemning power of the law, from the controlling power of sin and from the conquering power of death. I shall speak abont the past, the present and the future. It is all right to talk about the past for we all have one. Yours is not mine and mine is not yours, thank God. Relates Incident In Work. "The soul that sinneth, It shall die.' When God says a word I believe It and I am standing right on what God says about it The wages of sin is death. I was holding a meeting in Traverse City, Michigan, one time in the Baptist church with my deep water friends. A lady was playing the piano and I spoke to her about her soul. She didn't come to Christ that night but she promised me an answer the next day. The next day she said 'I am just going on having a good time and

when I get ready, I shall just come.' God doesn't forgive like that. I know he doesn't. "I could tell you about a woman that left Grand Rapids. She said I'm not going to let that thing ruin my life. I

am going to rise above it.' She left Grand Rapids and spent three years in a Western city, and was later married. One day she was walking down the street with her husband. She grabbed him by the arm and nearly fainted. He asked what was wrong and a man from Grand Rapids stepped up and said, 'I guess I can tell you.' "You go out tonight and get a bun on, old top, and tomorrow morning you will have to take a garden rake to scratch your head. It will keep right on pounding. You burn the candle at both ends and you will look like a snuff-box. That is the reason a lot of men are supporting cripples instead of wives. Because in violation of laws of nature and dress and excess in other things, you are paying for it. You can take them to every surgeon in the world, but it's no use. Sin against nature and she don't forgive you. Forgiveness is outside of the realm of nature; you never can find it there. "How many of you would almost give your life if you could turn the clock back to a certain hour, and begin life over from there? You can't forgive yourself. You can't do it. And how can you expect Him to forgive you? There is no forgiveness anywhere you turn. Search in the Bible and where do you find it?. 'An eye for an eye' was God's law. But you will find in the Ninth Chapter of Matthews, 'Son thy sins be forgiven.' The only way God could ever forgive a sin that had been committed against himself was to punish himself and his son. Meets Many Drunkards. "I meet more drunkards and talk with them than any man in Indiana. You can't contradict me. I never knew a man that was a drunkard because he wanted to be one. He can't help it. I've seen the day when I'd sell my shoes for drink. I was a sinner for years. You struggle against drink. I was a slave to drunkenness. No man ever lost his home, his manhood, his soul deliberately but because he couldn't help it. You say 'I can drink or leave it alone." You took one drink last year. You are taking two, or three, or four now. It has 'got your goaf and always has had it. "I never found a woman in sin that wouldn't get out if she could. Take the great army of 300,000 women living in houses of ill fame in this country alone and not a single one of them ever intended to land there. What is she there for? She can't help it. "I have gone through the hands of most every reformation known to man. If you are any judge of human nature, you know very well I may be a weakling in some ways but I didn't have an old-fashioned German Lutheran mother and an Irishman for a father for nothing. I have scrapped myself through this world for forty-three years and I have never asked a man to get off my foot. I just knocked him off. Went To Chicago. "In spite of the tears of mother, prayers of wife and pleadings of baby I landed in Chicago in 1879, an outcast of society. No underclothes and no socks on my feet. I tell it to the honor and glory of God. For years I was a drunkard. Do you know what Hell is? Look in a drunkard's home. Nobody that drinks suffers alone. 1 hated a drunkard and hated myself! I lived better off the free lunch counter than my wife did at home. "Mrs. Trotter made a silly speech to me one day. She said 'You give me my husband sober and I would rather have hire than any other man I ever knew.' I loved my wife and my baby. Drunken men love their families just as much as sober men. One day I came

home. I picked up my baby and went to walk with him and bumped aim against the wall. My wife said Of you can't come home in better shape than that, yon had better stay away. I don't want my baby to aee - hie father drank.' Instead of going borne after that, I wonki stay away days and sometimes weeks. - "I was called oat of a place one day by a detective. He told me to go home. I knew something was wrong at home by the tears In bis eyes. I went op two flights of stairs and grabbed the baby from his mother's arms but he was dead. Dead In a cold bouse. She bad cut up her last petticoat to keep him

warm. And she just said to me 'I

know you wouldn't do it if you could help it, old fellow. Don't take on so. The love of a good woman is next to the love of God. 'Everything that is dear to me Is gone,' said my wife but she was happy even at the funeral because I had pledged over the body of my babe that I would never drink again. But in one hour after the funeral I was so drunk I couldn't see. Men don't do it because they want to. I have an awful quarrel with the saloon business. My quarrel is not with the men that sell it. Jesus Christ died for the saloon keeper's soul. If you will get that man to Jesus Christ, he will make a good Christian worker. Make him a Christian and he will quit selling whiskey. Thought of Suicide. "I tried to get up courage to jump in the river. But I finally went to Chicago. You know fellows always go from bad to worse and from worse to Chicago. I was walking down the street and a door was opened in the Pacific Garden mission and I caught the line "Throw Out the Life Line.' A little fellow named Tom Mackey came out. He had tried to kill his wife. Had

been converted. Tom boosted me in. 0 what a boost that was! You need boosters. You have enough roosters. Don't sit in church and roost. Get out and go to boosting. After I got inside 1 went to sleep. They started to sing and I jumped to my feet. I was sure I was pinched. They turned the meeting over to a testimony meeting and 1 heard for the first time the testimony of redeemed men. You men in this great tabernacle that have found out that Jesus Christ can 6ave you. How can you stay away. A fellow sitting by me said 'Taln't for me, old pal.' and I said 'It is.' I started down the aisle and I prayed the publican's prayer 'God be merciful to me a sinner." I got a glimpse of Jesus Christ which I have never lost from that moment to

this. A glimpse of Jesus Christ spoiled j

He tried to give me my annual . bath, gave me clean clothes and put me to bed and prayed by my bedside. When he called me in the morning, I opened my eyes and looked in the face of my brother. How tender Jesus Is to drunkards. I could tell how Jesus can nurse men back to life. My brother wired for my wife and she came to Chicago and we set up housekeeping. The first week I made $4.20.

Cement Burial Vaults

These vaults are made of cement, tamped perfectly solid, on a cement floor, reinforced throughout with steel, and trowel finished. They are made in sections at the factory and cured out before using. When the sections are assembled in the grave we are. by means of our grooved joint, enabled to seal them together, making one solid piece of cement. We have holes in the bottom to let any accumulations from the body to pass back into the earth, at the same time the pressure of air in the vault would keep the water from coming in at the bottom. Ask your undertaker about them.
