GREVE—My views [) about the censorship’ may Book, be best had in the Blue ,published by our Royal Commission. In a nutshell, ft fs paradoxically found to hamper the serious moralist anda to protect the pornographer. Now that our commission has reported practically for the cen+ sor’s abolition, it is curiously be- lated to try and create him in Amer- ica. A public police prosecution: is the natural and best. remedy for public indecency. An inquisition sitting in the dark is subversive of all our modern no- tions of liberty and would tend to keep back thought as Galfleo’s was kept back by the Roman. inquisi- tion. Yours sincerely ISRAEL ZANGWILL.

Drummond was a student and she a schoolgirl when they eloped to Alton and were married nearly 12 years age. Her divorce petition was filed at Clay- ton Dec. 23 last and the decree was handed down five days later. The case was one of four, tried within the: past two months at Clayton, which have called attention to the speed with which divorces oan be obtained there. The other cases were those of Grace Van Studdiford, Mrs. Sim T. Price Jr. and Mrs. Samuel Thompson. Mrs. Drummond charged in her peti- tion that Drummond drank to excec; and squandered his money in buckét shops, that he deprived her of society and amusement and treated her rela- tives with discourtesy. She testified that le threatened to kill himself sey- eral times and that she once knocked a revolver from his hand as, she believed, he was about to shoot hirtiself.* Custody of the three clhilldren was granted to the wife, but hours were fixed at which Drummond should have the company of the children—the, boy, Charles, 9 years old, for one day every two weeks, and the two girls, 7 and 3 old, one afternoon each month.

Members of the Wednesday Club, one of the most exclusive organizations of women in St. Louis; have under way plans for a béycott of salacious, inde- cent and offensive theatrical perfor- mances. So far as is known, itis the purpose of Wednesday Club members to exercise the minutest discrimination in approv- ing performances that may be. viewed by persons. of breeding’ and fine sensi- bility, and if ideas submitted at recent meetings are adopted,.one may live to see playwrights striving ‘for ‘the approval of a smail social committee delegated to sanction or condemn. While the plan originates in St. Louis, it is expected that the movement may become nationa) in scope. Through the National federation of Women's Clubs first performances might be viewed in the producing cities of the country by special committees whose duty it would be to exact dramatic renditions free from suggestion that would steers the most fastidious. Bad Shows to Be Shunned.
