0OD HEN at last the song ended
WNW John Nanders walked slowly
out of the vaudeville theater.
Still ringing in his ears were the notes
of the great pipe organ and the voice
of the singer as they blended in the
grand melody. Never before to-day's
matinee had he heard it sung with
quite that wonderful beauty. 1t was
THE Holy City"
The man at the ticket office nodded
Familiarity at him. but Nanders did not
see him. He was still thinking of the
song he had just heard. Outside. on
the walk, Il lounger was humming the
catchy air of ragtime melody. VAN
ders cenched his fist as he heard it.
1t was his latest production. already
fast winning its way to popularity. He
hated it with all his heart. 1t was
not even fit to be called song when
compared with "The Holy City"
For it was Vanders' great ambition
to write song some day to which peo
pie would listen with the same rever-
ence they gave to THE Holy City" He
had written successful ragtime music,

But he longed to compose something
better, nobler, grander.
AS he walked up the street now,
there was Il half formed melody ring

that would do justice to the air he
might yet fulfill his great ambition.

And then, without warning of any

the writing upon it. With dull and
uncomprehending knowledge that his
poem had come to him at last he stood
there in the middle of the walk, read
ing it again and again. 1t was just
such a thought as he wished to set to

John Vanders looked up quickly. In
the doorway Of the house stood girl
of perhaps twenty. One glance was
enough to show that she was pretty.
Brown hair crowned Il face of singular
beauty; two brown eyes-soul eyes
looked straight into his; a little mouth,
half smiling. half frowning, silently
commanded the return Of the paper; a
plump arm, with the sleeve rolled up
to the elbow, was stretched out in sup
plication. 1t is no wonder, for the mo-
ment, John Vanders forgot his ambi-
ton.
You have something of mine," the
girl repeated.
Still bewildered, Vanders held up the
paper. You mean this?" he asked
Certainly" said the girl. with
little laugh; give it to me-"
but l want it myself" objected
Vanders, drawing back in fear lest the
girl should take it from him.
'Sir"" The girls mouth was frown-
ing now
Before Vanders could reply there
was step behind him and man came
up the walk to the door.
Father" said the girl, "this gentle
man has a paper belonging to me-"
Vanders noticed she used the word,

The older man turned angrily. Then
he held out his hand.
"Why, it's Vanders," he announced,
cordially; won't you Join us at din

Without word Vanders followed
the man, a Mr.. Merton, into the house,
where he was introduced to the daugh-
ter, Miss Alice.

The President in the Territories

Some papers have expressed surprise
that President Roosevelt was given
such cordial weloo ONE in Arizona and
New Mexico in view of his sympathy
with the opposition to their Immediate
admission to statehood. But there was
no reason to imagine he would get
any other kind of a welcome there.
It was certain from the outset that he
would be given the heartiest kind Of
greeting there, not exceeded in
warmth and sincerity by that given
him anywhere in the West. Those
territories are too much used to being
denied admission to the Union to take
it very much to heart. The intelligent
people there well realize that the ter
ritories are not yet fitted for state
hood, and they do not honor the Pres
ident the less for the frankness of his
attitude on the subject.
Those territories know that they
have no better friend in the world
than the President. They neea irri-
CATION more than they do statehood,
and his advocacy of national irrigation
gave it it's first great impulse. His
arguments overcame much eastern
hesitation and opposition, and that
whole arid region owes him an eter-
nal debt of gratitude. Moreover, the
personality of the man is particularly
dear to the southwest. He has been
the ranchman, the associate of cow
boys. the frontier sheriff, the hunter,
the woodsman, and the leader of rough
riders. The West and Southwest have
never had a President who knew it SO
well and who was so much part of it
as he is. That is why Arizona and
New Mexico turned out en- masSe,
cowboys, miners, Indians and greascrs,
to give him this most vociferous well
come. It's pictureSqueness was not
more evident than its honesty, and
those who gave it did not take more
delight in it than the one in whose
honor it was given.

Improvement in Airships.

1t is evident that the we'll known
Santos Dumont is not the only man in
Paris who is winning success in the
our land. Very few of his predeces-
navigation of air slips. The dis
patches from that city tell of the work
done by the Lebaudy brothers with
their dirigible balloon. The Lebaudy
craft Unanswered successfully over q
considerable distance and maintained
an average speed of kilometer in 2.59
minutes. The total voyage covered 81
kilometers, or about 90 miles, the
period of the flight lasting hour and %
minutes. This is practically as rapid
a flight as that of Santos Dumont in
the machine with which he competed
for the Deutsch prize, when he sailed
11% kllometers in 80 minutes, or an
average of a kilometer in 90 minutes
The Lebaudy balloon circled around a
cathedral spire in the course OF her
flight and returned safely to the point
of departure. The wind was blowing
sharply and rain fell during the flight
The screws rcvolved 500 times Il minute
save when the air-ship was being forced
against the wind, when they made 1000
revolutions
All this is interesting ard it shows
that great advance has been made in
aerial navigation, but the airship will
not approach the practical stage until
it has a greater speed than 16 miles an
hour The idea of human flight through
the air involves a conception of great
creeping space in comparison with eX-
press trains and is far less than the
average rate of speed of ocean liners.
Even assuming that the airshp, as it is
improved. shall attain the speed of
trains and steamships it must also
guarantee their degree of safety be-
fore 1t can compete with them as Il
method of transportation. The present
dirigible balloons carry only one or two
persons. and to increase this capacitv.
gain far greater speed and assure the
passengers of a safe voyage are tasks
not to be accomplished in Il hurry.
There may come a time. centuries
hence. when the air will be navigated
as dreamers have prophecicd, but as
far as progress has yet been made there
Is nothing to indicate that our times
will see the handling of airships be-
come more than the fad OF n few VEN
turesome scientists.

Not All Rosy in New Zealand.

In recent years the island OF New
Zealand has been often pointed to as
the place where the dreams of the
idealists had come true in the rela-
tons of labor and capital. Theorists
have shaped legislation there, rigidly
regulating all matters between employ
er and employee, establishing compul-
sorry arbitration, giving private capital
and individual enterprise very small
encouragement, and seeking to eX-
emplffy the advantages of a strict pa
ternal oversight of all industry by the
government. For a while it appeared
that the era Of the golden rule haI
dawned in that colony. But now there
is a rift in the lutte and unpleasant
discords mar the harmony Of the New
Zealand system.
1t seems that compulsory arbitration
is not working up to it's advance no.
tees. The arbitration court is flooded
with wrangles to settle and the settle
ment of some of them is said to have
paralyzed some of the once promising
industries. The owners complain that
they are unable to make a profit and
comply with the eXactiOnS Of their
workmen, which generally meet with
vindication in the compulsory arbitra-
ton proceedings, while the employees,
on their part, complain that the en-
ployers are stubborn and vindictiVe in
their relations toward organized labor.
To add to the friction and complication
of the situation, Prime Minister Sed-
den has promised to consider the issue
OF compulsory preference to unioniSts,
and employers are threatened with le-
gal restl lotion in obtaining labor.
There is now a great clamor for the
reconstruction or abolition of the court
of arbitration, but the clamoring comes
from the employing class. 4 recent
report to that effect declares: The
result of the awards points to Increased
cost Of production, the forming OF
| rings" ant&gOnistic TO employers, and
to the inpossibility of Il mans being
able to establish a business in a small
way. a most serious detail is the fact
that quite recently several employers
have been before the court to answer
charges OF nom compliance with the
| awards. In two cases fines were in
| nicted, in the others decision was re-
served. The latest results is That a
number OF employers, deeming an
award inimical to their interests, since
it raised wages about tWo-pcnce an
