the Improvement Of the music at our the
aters. While 1t is not necessary to play ex-
cerpts from symphonies between the acts,
yet there is much beautiful music Of a less
severe character which can be used. and
which is never heard. The general run OF
entr'acte music played at the theaters is
of very little intrinsic merit, and to those
who care for really good music it is a relief
when most of it is over.
The theater orchestra could do consid-
cradle in furthering the cause of good mu-
sic by performing more of it. Finally. the
part that each one of us individually can
play in improving the musical taste Of the
community is considerable. No halfway
measures should be taken in not permit
ting a degraded form of music in our draw
fng-rooms any more than in permitting a
vulgar picture or in indecent book.
The liberation Of a class of songs repre-
senting a coarse negro's affection (D for
his mistress is one Of the most subtle ways
of debasing the musical taste. No parent
should permit such music on his child's
pianoforte. Every teacher should impress
upon his pupils the utter unworthiness of
that sort of stuff. If We add to a feeling
Of pride and interest in our local organ
~ization, a determination to improve our
selves and those about US as much as lies
within our power. there is no reason why
st. Louis should not hold her own with
Boston and Cincinnati as a musical city.
Now. while the plans for the Worlds Fair
are being made. and a New St. Louis Is
confidently predicted, We should rise to the
extent OF our capacity in musical art as
well as otherwise. and leave such a last
ing impression that future generations will
point with pride to those who labored in
the cause of art here In these first years OF
the Twentieth Century.

RESOURCEFUL MIR. MCCAIN.


Travelling Passenger Agent Mccain of the Missouri
Pacific has the elements Of a successful Genera
Years hence he will be hailed as the pioneer in a
movement blessed by women. Modest as he doubt
less is, he should reasonably expect a monument to
bis genius from the members of the gentler SEA.
1t is his duty to escort a special trainload of Fed
Grafton women to California for the annual meeting.
That job would dismay the ordinary railroad man.
The very idea of having under his care 17S women de-
voted to higher culture and the exploitation of intel
lectual mysteries would stagger any one but the re-
doubtable Mr.. Mccain.
He has doubtless studied the club movement as
operated by the ladies'. If he has not, how did he
ever happen to think of giving the IFS women in his
charge the privilege of the baggage car where they
can change their costumes every hour If deemed
necessary?
For that is what he has done. Knowing the way
feminine he caters to it in a fashion which should
make other travelling passenger agents bump their
heads against the wall.
And from the woman's point Of view what a treat
it is for them. Their arrival in Los Angeles should
be the event of the meeting. AS they step off the
vestibuled special fresh as CALIFORNIA; own reception
committees the other visitors will look and wonder.
True, it may carry discord into the sessions Of the
Federation; but the New York women will have set
the pace in a feature of the meeting which is by no
means of the least Importance. And all because Mr..
Mccain opened the baggage car.

Of financial support, at a moment when such an or
ganization promises to be of signal value as indicating
local appreciation of things artistic, would constitute
a deplorable confession.
On the other hand, il the ChoralSymphony Society
is now placed on a sound financial basis, enabling its
management to work effectively for the best musical
results, the consequent benefit to the community will
be infinitely greater than the comparatively insignif-
cant cost Of the society's maintenance. st. Louis will
then have, for the Worlds Fair period, a ~high-class
orchestra, whose work may safely be submitted to the
judgment of foreign critics. There will be many no.
table musical events during this period, the success
full management of which will serve to advertise this
Choralsymphony Society itself will be enabled to es-
given by the society in other American cities will be
an advertisement OF st. Louis. The communit will
profit a hundredfold by an investment insuring the
maintenance of this excellent musical organization,
which now deservedly ranks among the best in the
United States.
The Business Mems League has been wise enough
to discern these truths. and public spirited enough to
act upon them with the requisite vigor and determine
ton for success. The Leagues activity in this in
stance furnishes fresh proof of its value as an organ
ization intent upon promoting the best interests Of the
community. The special committee now ut work on
the problem of the Choral-Symphony's continued sup |
port, finely representing the best thought and charac-
ter of the Business Mems League, should be enabled
to report at an early day that it's labors have been
with success. Such an achievement, also, will
again entitle the Business Mems League to the graft
of the local public for excellent public service
rendered with characteristic willingness.

IOrICs.
To all those hunanitarians who are filed with tender
sentiments regarding the Filipino I commend a six
months sojourn among them. I do not consider myself
a heartess woman. When I went to the Philippines ]
was filled with pity for the little brown manikins who.
l thought. were putting up a brave fight for their coun-
try; but. after seeing them daily for a year and gaining
a thorough realization of their treachery, cunning and
cruelty. all my compassion vanished. Intrigue is food and
breath to the Filipino; If he does not fight a foreigner.
he. will fight his own brother; his love of cruelty must
be satiated in some way and on some one. The murders
the natives do upon each other are revolving, and for
five pesos any one can have his private enemy killed.
Why do not the officers in the Philippines send a round
robin to President Roosevelt asking for justice and for
his support? He established the precedent when he was
in Cuba. and he could not but lend a listening ear to the
army that made him.
Oh. you good Americans! Why do you not stand by
the army that fights and dies for you? Why listen to the
scurrilous voice Of a discharged volunteer throwing dirt,
for the sake Of notoriety. upon an able officer who has
achieved something-which is more than the greater part
OF this whilom soldiers ENRICHMENT ever did?

RECENT
Literary Advertising in France.

Louise Faure- Favier in May Bowman.
There Is one side OF the whole ma tier for which we
may as well turn to NJ. Marcel Provost. 1t is a side
which is not without some Importance in France. and
concerns the use of fiction for advertising the work of
certain dressmakers and miluners. Here is an example:
"By the way" said Maude, II have decided that the
coat should be close fitting"
In the style that Laferriere is making
corsage. You will understand"
She explained.
What was 1t that she explained? She could never
make explanations that would be sufficient to show us
that novelists of high talent should descend to become
advertising agents. And yet in this Marvel Provost is by
no means alone. From the time of Georges Ohnet, Worth
has been referred to complacently. In lie Maitre de
Forges' Ohnet described Athenais transformed and vast
ly improved in appearance after she had gone through
the. hands Of a great dressmaker. Undeniably Worth
knew his trade well, and Ohnet described women's dress
better than Bourget or France. and with much less pre-
tention.

time. A resolute soul may, with amazingly little
trouble, encompass this enjoyment and not curtail one
hour of the working day.
The suggestion to this effect is earnestly recon-
mended to the attention of those who have never yet
tried such an experiment. Make a point of seeing
how much of the open life you can accomplish in the
hours before and after work. Get out Of the house,
wend your way to a convenient park or a semi
suburban avenue. walk around, loaf and refresh your
soul at every little opportunity. Improve your Sun
days TO the utmost by INDUCING in innocent and help
fnl "fresh-air' Sundays. You will be surprised by the
amount of happiness and health you can win in this
way, and never lose a day from work.

GET YOUR SHARE OF THE OPEN AIR

With the first coming of spring, the welcome warm
and sunny days that follow the bleak winter weather.
there begins to awaken in the human bosom the old
primitive longing FOR life in the open, the life of woods
and fields and mountains and seashore, which brings
the soul nearer to Its true and healthful relations with
nature.
1t is this longing which accounts for the fact that
the wealthy class is so prone. at such time to abandon
luxurious city homes and find a keener comfort and
satisfaction in country houses and even in cottage
life ut Southern resorts, the season being a sort Of
stop-gaD between the winters urban existence and
the hegira to summon watering places, which begins
later. The dominating spirit compelling this develop
ment is that which prompts an escape from cities. a
return to the more natural life of the country. To a
certain extent, also, laugh at the conceit as we will,
the feeling which animates the professional tramp
Just now is Identical with that which sends the rich
man happily to the joys of rusticity and pastoral con-
tent. The hobo" relishes life in the open as g~estfuny
as does the holidaying millionaire.
Between these two extremes, however, the ex-
tremes of the Midas who can afford his spring laziness
and the vagabond who tramps free of all care along
rustic lanes, there is the great class of workers in
moderate circumstances who cannot leave their daily
tasks for an indulgence Of the longing for the OPEN
air life. At frt sight these workers seem to have
rather a hard lot, since they must toll so many hours
each day, no matter how strongly the Old Adam
whispers to them of the joys of a verdant Eden and of
idleness. Yet the resourceful members of this class
may outwit circumstance to a marked extent If they
are 80 inclined. 1t is true that they must do their
days work. But it is also true that there are fresh
and stimulating morning hours and calm and restful
afternoon hours during which they may find much
happiness and beauty in the open. Here in st. Louis,
a city with a lovely rolling country to the west, north
and south, and rapid-transit facilities making it easy
to go comfortably where one chooses in such a'quest,
Ahere is little excuse for missing the joys of spring

WORLD'S-1eO3-FAIR.
STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION.

In the columns of the Ripon Wis., Press and the
Ripon Commonwealth the desirabiity of the enact
ment Of a uniform tax law in every State, this law TO
become a national law for all the States, is being
earnestly and ably pointed out by Mr.. w. r. Lyle of
that town.
His proposition is not the same, but recalls the
Rhodes Clay measure before the last Missouri legis-
iafiVe session for the separation of State and local
taxation. The Republic has in the past seen fit to
call public attention to the merits of such a separa-
ton of bases Of taxation. There is good reason to
believe that the practical arguments in it's favor will
cause this plan to be commended by the public and
ultimately enacted into law.
Under the present method of assessment prevail
Ing In Missouri and other States it is impossible
equitably to distribute the burden Of taxation. The
taxpayer In one county may be, and is frequently.
compelled to pay a higher tax as a result of public
Improvements in another county, the effects of which.
by a more intelligent system of local taxation, should
nave been confined entirely to the people of the sec
ton benefited. The taxes are now collected in n lump
sum from the taxpayer, and the total amount thus col
lected is then apportioned respectively to the State
and locality.
There should, unquestionably, be a separate class
OF property for State taxation. leaving to each COM
munity the real estate ard other property suited to
local taxation.
The final result Of an agitation of the necessity for
a reform Of the tax laws must be for the general
good, In that taxation will be made more lust in its
application to the individual and to the different com.
munities.

TO SAVE H CHORAL-SYMPHONY SOCIETY.
There should be a very willing and effective pop
ular support of the efforts of the special committee ap-
pointed by the Business Mems League for the pur-
pose of securing action which shall prevent the threat
ened dissolution of the ChoraISymphony Society. the
leading local musical organization.
Looking at the matter from the purely practical
viewpoint, the abandonment Of the Choral Symphony
Soc!ety's mission would reflect a discredit upon the
city which could not but prove injurious. The truth
is known, of course, that st. Louis is a wealthy and
prosperous city. At the present time this community
stands before the world with unusual prominence,
owing to the fact that the first Worlds Fair of the
Twentieth Century is to be held here. The dissou-
