EDGAR ILIFF DESCRIBES MODERN TYPE OF HAMLET

BY EDGAR ILIFF. It. Is the liftlx set of the play of j "Hamlet" that concerns us here. The grave-diggers in the churchyard are debating about the faBhion of the old "' metaphysical schools. , They doubt the legality and propriety, of giving

Ophelia Cnnstlan burial because tne report is that she "willfully sought her . own - salvation," or committed suicide. The grave-diggers had inherited the old beliefs about suicides, and like many ignorant persons they believed in the letter of the law

rather than In its spirit. Law is never elastic, to the. dull; it is a piece of castiron machinery and cannot deviate a hair's : breath to fit circumstances. Laws administered by the unimaginative are cruel in their , want of discrimination. There had been some very cruel laws and customs regarding suicide. It was cruel to drive a stake through the body of a suicide at the crossroads as a warning to others. It was ridiculous to make the attempt a capital offense

and hang a man if he failed to do a good job in shuffling off. It might have been some satisfaction to the would-be euiclde to know that if be didn't finish himself the hangman .would. But sometimes he survived his own act and then tried to convince the criminal court that he. was only fooling and wanted to live. v Suicide Plays Part. Suicide occupies a prominent place In the moral history of antiquity. It was considered heroic to fall on one's sword or drink the hemlock and thus cheat life's purposes. The sane man today thinks 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, the whips .and scorns of time, the oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, the pangs of despised love, the law's delay, the insolence of office and the spurns that patient merit of the unwbrthy takes. The Ignorant clowns who dug Ophel-

ii's grave sever dreamed of committing suicide themselves. The debatable ground of "to.be or not. to be" occur only to the superdeveloped, ine highly organized, like ; Hamlet So it is here pertinent to quote Dr.

Maudsley, who said that "an in crease of suisidal mania is a penalty which

an increase of our present civilization

necessarily pays," and that "with the

progress of mental development there

is a correlative -degeneration going on." It is the old atory. Everything costs. We must pay. We are playing the game of forfeits. .We gain on one side and lose on the other. ,. Showa Lack of Wit.. The grave-diggers argue like those old scholars who had "words, words but plentiful lack of wit." The silly thins called education had fallen upon them as tradition. Oxford had at one time 1 30,000 : scholars, all , trying to learn that matter was of three kinds. Firstly, first; ; secondly, first; and thirdly, first; all seeking by meta

physical torture to find out "if God knew more things than He was aware oL" All the knowledge of the world was reduced - to - a- text-book. Three centuries of this scholastic , rubbish did not ; add a single idea to the human mind, and it is this which Shakespeare ridicules in the - talk of the grave-diggers. The parrot schools of today need the same treatment. "An act,; says one of the grave-diggers, "hath three branches ; it is to act, to do, and to perform; therefore, to drown one's ' self knowingly is an act, a deed and a performance; so Ophelia drowned herself knowingly. If a man goes to the water he drowns himself, but if the 'water comes to him and drowns him then he drowns not himself." . Here we have the . metaphysical - reasoner who drags us through labyrinths of so-c&lled education, and finally lands us in the swamps of nowhere. j Difference in Rank. One grave-digger defended Ophelia's right to Christian burial on the strength of the coroner's verdict: the

other retorts that If she had not been a fine lady she would have been buried out of Christian burial. More's the pity, say his companions, that great folk have the right to drown or hang themselves and poor folk haven't. One of them goes after -a etoup of liquor- "rushes the can," as we say. The other 8ings a ditty as he digs. . At first reading it, all seems so incongruous and harsh these jokes and gibes, songs and drinking ale and yet it is the most natural scene in the world, as any one may learn by watching old hands at grave-digging. A few words between Hamlet and Horatio tell the plain truth. "Has this fellow no feeling of his business?" asked Hamlet "Custom hath made it In him a property of easiness," replies Horatio. To which Hamlet muses aloud: "'Tis ever so; the hand of little employment hath the "daintier sense." . Yes, 'tis ever so. Some persons can't kill a chicken, while the veteran butcher unfeelingly cuts the lamb's throat as he laughs and jokes. The

public hangman, the axeman the executioner, the user of the whipping posts and the legalized strangler, all have an easiness in their business. All the penal horrors of the world today, all the prison abuses, fuDy attest the profound truth uttered by Horatio, that custom engenders In -th public mind . a property, of easiness in the dealings with the unfortunate. Horatio Is Grave. Horatio at the grave is sad and to all the glib talk of Hamlet he replies in sentences of two - or three words, like "perhaps, my lord," "It may be, my lord." Hamlet uses 122 words on the skull of Yordick.- Horatio replies in four words. r This gives a sense of profound melancholy to Hamlet's noble friend. "You will lose, my lord." says Horatio upon Hamlet's proffer to fight Laertes. Hamlet thinks not and yet be says, "There is something ill at my heart But no matter. . It Is but foolery. It is only

a misgiving such tas troubles a woman." Horatio's warning touches upon a : profound ? question debated from Socrates to Emerson: "If your mindaisUkes avthing. obey it." Such a treatment of. premonitions was adhered to by Lincoln. Every one has had moments when the heart or soul, or subconscious mind, has seemed to pull against ' some contemplated act Call it what we may, -it is as yet an unsolved something. The Quakers

have listened to the "inner voice," have heeded the "inner light" and obeyed, the 'silent monition . without any claim to commandment or large revelation. Emerson insisted that everyone has a bias which he must obey,' and only as he feels and obeys does he rightly develop . and attain his -.legitimate power in the world. Be yourself. Insist on yourself. -Be, do not seem. Stick to your ownFollow the path your genius traces like the galaxy of heaven for you to walk in. . Hamlet Lacka Power. ' Hamlet in the modern world Is the man who has wealth, position, talent learning, and lacks the power to apply these gifts. , Being incapable of doing the things he would and should do his life is a failure. Our faculties are for use, the gift of life and what men call good fortune are for use, and our higher nature commands that we use them to high purposes. "That we would do we should do when we would," said the king to Hamlet. Men may v have ' i gathered ; great thoughts from books and attained eminence as scholars, but if they lose courage to apply them to the social conditions here and now they are as useless as that scholarship was in America during the thirty years' battle against human slavery. Scholars were using the immortal thoughts of the martyrs of the past to earn for

themselves social prosperity and com

fort It is this eternal - hypocrisy

this, never-dying Pharisaism, whica

rude - and strong men of the wor(q

have always fought Your Hamlets

shed wit and sparkling bon mots but!

they never do the world' rough worlj of regeneration. Hamlet had great responsibilities laid upon him, but he failed because his -vital defect was that he did not believe In himself. Besides he didn't believe in anyone else. He did not know whether he believed in the soul and Its immortality or not Between the acting of a thing and its first motion he oscillated like a pendulum. All the interim was a phantasm, end ing in a hideous dream. His nature suffered insurrection but came to nothing substantial. To "be not like dumb, driven cattle, but a hero in the strife" was his Ideal, but his weakness suffered him to be carried along like "the beasts who sleep and feed." Great men have believed profoundly. Hamlet persuaded himself, and had persuaded thousands since, that things are right or wrong only as we think them so. This . is the gross materialism of our age. permeating church and state, coloring all social life, dominating the policies and platforms of all political parties and enfeebling the cultivated classes. Such materialism never accomplished one good thing for humanity.
