LOOPING THE LOOP.

The habit which evening passengers have ac-
quired of riding around the downtown looms
of the street railways in order to secure seats for
the homeward trip has resulted in complications.
These complications involve several equities and
considerations and are not altogether easy of So
luton.
Certainly at first blush upon the principle of
first come first served" there would seem to be no
improperly in boarding an eastbound car few
blocks from the loop and riding around so as to get
mortgage on good seat in advance of the eager
crowds that await the cars further on. And the
companies in the past have not seen fit to collect
fares for the extra ride around the turn which Is
technically and properly part Of the "down" trip
But it doesn't by any means follow necessarily
because the practice of looping the loop" has
become customary that it is right. Customs are
not always right The equities OF the general public
and of those persons who board the cars at the be-
ginning of the "out trip conflict with the custom. II
persons are permitted to ride free of charge down
town. in order to secure seat for the .out. trip

Upton BOBBING UP sERENELY.
Sir Thomas Upton is quoted as willing for an
other try at the cup-one last try he puts i-and
he bases his hope upon the fact that the next Sham
rock will be fourleayed one.
We have taken kindly to Sir Thomas in the past
but whether we can brook this sort Of persistency
especially when it is coupled with superstition is
question.
How many times we to be compelled to de-
feat him? Isn't it asking too much to require us
to do it again? When is there to be an end to these
"last tries?" When shall we be permitted to enjoy
some security?
There ought to be some sort Of immunity incident
to our series of victories in which we could find
refuge. By persistently challenging us Sir Thomas
invokes the mathematics Of chance the law of aver
ages in his behalf; and his chances improve with
each event Sooner later, IL he keeps this thing
up, it is inevitable that he will sail home with the
cup and leave US asking ourselves why we have
been such fools.
There's limit to tolerating Sir Thomas, however
we may admire his gameness. A gentleman and
sportsman ought to know when he's had enough
and if he won't admit defeat there ought to be
law OF estoppel with which administer his quierus

MISUNDERSTANDING
ooNRIED's "PARsIFAL."

OONRIEDS ''PARSlEAL.
The persistence courage and ability of Director
Conried have achieved the production of "Parsifal
in New York. Early upon Christmas Eve, at 5
o'clock, a large audience trooped to hear and see
the great mystical song-spectacle. At they arose
for dinner and returned at S:45, then to sit until
11:30.
Critical Judgment of the great performance pro-
nounces it, in staging and execution superior TO the
celebrated Bayreuth production. The chief lack was
the ..atmosphere,'' the sympathetic surroundings
the background which stimulates the imagination
and this could not be transported.
Now the question is: Has it been success?
Does the American public respond? Is the fervor
of the American music lover sufficient to place him
wholly under the spell of the sacred music poem?
occasion of the first performance But never was
any production well advertised. Never was n
greater curiosity aroused In the cultured public
Consequently, the test is not yet fully accomplished
Nor will 1t be accomplished for some little time.
From o'clock until IL 80 is considerable interval
and cause for doubt exists to whether restless
American can surrender himself or herself wholly
to a. long crescendo of religious and musical ex-
altation.
Whether rightly or not, America, artistically, Is
regarded distinctly in the Of the procession
of nations. The Conried "Parsifal" is declared to
be, artistcally, great Upon its reception depends
much of the future truth Of the Judgment which
insists that we lack the finer senses the appreca-
tion of the nicer refnements of music and the
drama.

the old. unsupported institutions Of
America.
1t took a century to enable the agrees
sive and Independent spirit Of this new
world to develop its resources sufficiently
to attract the attention and confidence Of
other countries, without which It was q
slow process to induce capital to come to
our aid.
The problem Of seIf-government was be-
ing worked out at the same time, and
could only be solved by the passage of
years and the discretion of the builders Of
the Republic.
A brief century was not long to have
accomplished so much. and IL In doing 50
much many of our loyal citizens have ao-
cumulated fortunes, which they are ex-
pending with such prodigality for the ben
eft OF the nation, why heap upon them Vi
tuperation and criticism because of the
clamor Of the useless and the lawless.
There is a resort for every man who has
q grievance or who is a victim of injus-
tice. State and national authorities can
be invoked for his protection and vindi-
cation, and all men should be ready to zee
that Justice Is administered fairly to the
poor and the rich.
Protect each citizen In his right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. but
do not encourage warfare on a class who
are certainly helping on the wheels Of
progress, and who are trying to ameliorate
the condition Of all of the people of the
land; notwithstanding very many Of them
have not been long citizens Of the United
States and have done nothing to build I'D

We have in mind now very rich man
that the public considers close and stingy,
and yet many Individuals know Of his gen.
erosity and beEsyolenco to persons whom
he considers worthy of his benefactions.
Generosity that gives promiscuously and
without investigating the objects Of Its
benefactions is very unwise and democrat
izing.
People who do not help themselves are
not entitled to be helped, and yet this very
class rail against the rich, and are al
ways complaining Of their Ills and misfor-
tunes, when, as a matter Of fact. they
alone are responsible for their conditions
The people Of the United States are In
debted to these same rich men for tho adj

much also depends upon the angle, or
slope, at which the suns heat falls upon
the earth's surface. The reason It is hot at
the equator is because there the sun Is
always overhead, and its rays descend at
all times nearly vertically upon the earth;
and the reason it is cold near the poles
is because there the sun is never over
head, and its rays always strike the
ground very slopingly, or at low angle
