On an occasion like this, under sS.~h
circumstances the whole life of the COM

palling ensemble of precious hours would
slip into the wasteful past never to be
recovered,
That this is not so is due to the philan-
thropic work of the much abused specu-

way, is rarely responsible for the

broker will get there just the same. The

edition of Coxey's army was drawn ND |

boys, hoboes, and willing
workers of all sorts. Every one of them
was good for twenty tickets and they
represented in the aggregate the block
Of tickets that the two or three com
mission men who employed them to
camp out there were going to
purchase for their customers, the busi-
ness, professional and society people of
Providence. IL the Coxeyites hadn't

THOUGHTS on THEATER TICKETS

Among the popular delusions Of the
day Is the idea that "limiting" the mum.
Der Of tickets sold at the theater box
Office TO any one person gives everybody
chance to get an equally good seat
with everybody else.
There are only SO many seats in the
alter and only certain portion of them
are most desirable. When a produc-
ton Is announced. the popularity OF
which Is assured beforehand. il
is the presumption that certain
mercenary persons "buy up the house"
before ordinary folks get around to it
and then hold the desirable seats at n
premium which the leisurely theater
goer has to pay if he would sit within
earshot of the stage. An injustice is
thus apparently done the leisurelv
theater goer and the theatrical manage
ment is called upon to crush the ticket
speculator. This, however as has been
often demonstrated, is not an easy Job.
One day somebody invented the idea
OF limiting the theater tickets TO arv
single purchaser designing thus TO
give to late and early purchasers an
equal chance. The limit, of course. had
to be arbitrary. 1t is customarily fixed
at so many tickets for any one per-
formance. 1t has, however. never
worked satisfactorily, as, for ex-
ample, when the individual purchaser
wanted to provide for theater partv
larger in number than the allotment
OF tickets. And, of course, the sale
was sooner or later inevitably bound 70
reach point where the next purchaser
wouldn't be able to secure such good
seats as those already sold. The only
thing accomplished by the Limitation
scheme has been rather undesirable.
namely, to increase the price of the
tickets to the theatergoer
For example take the sale for the |
Brown Opera which was opened on
Tuesday morning last. This is the |
latest of several examples this season.

wsYneu's Work euS %syos.

The great controversy about woInen's
work has, am glad to see, brought out
two definite tacts-the one that women
can, will ana must work; the other that
upskilled work is of no value in the labor
market, aud that where women do equally
good work with men their wages should
be the same Not long ago | was shocked
TO hear the editor of Il leading paper say
that he employed good many women on
his staff, not from chiyalry, not from u
sense of justice, but simply because ho
could get refined, educated woman to do
the work of common, uneducated msl
at the same wages.
Now this IS essentially wrong. When
women agree to undersil the men, they
are doing ipcalculable harm both 10 their
own cause and to that of the men. Won.
en- up TO the present have been lamcntably
deficient in self respect and in the feeling
of class union The last thing woman
learns is that she must not live to herself
and her family alone but that she has q
duty to the great community at large, and
that love for her own dear ones must be-.
completed by the altruism Of true cnlight
eminent. This, and this only, is the curof
for the miserable salaries with which we
men have hitherto been content. A higher
sense of responsibility, desire for u fair
field and no laVor-these must be their
watChWurt.S. The education of women has
hitherto been to blame. They were not,
taught patience, carefulncss, that quiet,
plodding in the face of difficulties that
constitutes tho value of mans work
They were half educated, wholly unprac
tical
Nowadays such things need not exist.
Half educated teachers, half educated
clerks, incompetent people in all ranks,
can find no employment. There must be-
training--conSistcnt, practical tIaining-
for women as well rs for men. The great
thing is to weed out the inadequate work
ers to pay good workers adequately. Wo
men are gradually learning the value OF "A.
practical training, and when once the
principle is universally acknowledged we
may hope to see different class OF wom
en- workers from any we have had hithcr-
to. We shall find them taking pride aI&l
an interest in their work equal 10 that OF
men We shall find parepts recognizing.
the necessity of educating their daughters
properly, and we shall find n gradual ex-
tinction OF those hateful sweating prac-
tees which have reduced civilized women
to far worse condition of slavery than
that of the African savage London
