UPLIFTING OF STAGE
FOLK HER ENDEAYOR

Margaret Severance, the beautiful
and talented southern girl who is CIV
inc. limitations of famous actresses at the
Unique this week, is a woman with a
mission. The uplifting of the stage, its
elevation according to all the ideals ever
dreamed by noble men and women who
have labored to improve it's morals and
lines, is her constant thought
Miss Severance believes the world of
personnel. She sees the best side Of
stage life, and shuts her eyes to many
things. She says that Argentine interest
in and love of art for art IS sake will
keep all members Of the theatrical pro.
fession pretty close to the middle of
the road. The trouble is, too many have
no love of art or their work except as
it profits them, and these are the drones
of the profession.
They have little on their minds,
she says, land they go travelling about
the country with single part, we'll
learned, or good enough to be acceptable,
to an audience. They are sure of their
salaries for that one performance. The
rest of their idle time is put in--I do
not care to say how but certainly
idly, unproftably, and to no purpose
whatever y En-. They drift f about aot They
~ their vanity. Wasn't I great last
nfghta'. did I make hit7S IN too
good for this attraction and ought to
be starred. These are the thoughts that
run thru their minds to the exclusion
of pretty much everything else.
II enjoy the distinction Of being the
quickest change artist in the world,
some Of my changes Of costumes, fol-
lowing complete change Of character
representation, being accomplished in
from FIVE to ten seconds. And how I
have practiced to get things on and off
self. Anyone who has worked hard at
a piano to achieve celebrity in a difficult
run, and who has practiced hour after
hour before getting it right, can under
stand it,, for J. have worked just that
way. Work is, the thing on the stage
as well as off Of it. -

VAT HILE negotiations preparatory
w to a peace conference are go
ing on. reports from the front indicate
that the Japanese have not relaxed
their vigilance. The nshting IN Man
churia continues. and there is evidence
showing that the lines are being drawn
for the investment Of yiadivostok and
Harhn.
There is suspicion that japan
would prefer to add another victory to
her laurels ere peace is negotiated for
having carried the war SO FAR and with
such success. she probably regards as
the fun frnitage the absolute disap-
pearsnce Of Russian influence from
Manchuria.
In consequence, II terms are TO be
arranged now. Russia must prepare TO
accept much that win wound her pride
ana prove irksome for many decades
possibly for centuries. certainly Japan
win insist on guarantees that there
shall be no recurrence OF that ageres-
sion which resulted in the present war
Japan has virtually cut hertway out
and will not consent to being reinvest.

MuNlclPAL FRANCHISES.

THE question OF The disposition Of
\ municipal franchises is now
souarely before the people OF Philadel-
phia- Ordinances were recently pass
ed by Councils giving to the Rapid
Transit Company 11O miles Of streets
for the use OF the lines OF the COM
pany; ana the city got nothing in ex-
change.
Yet In general that has been the
custom In our American municipalities.
Mllionaires in plenty have been made
BY these gifts. and in financing these
companies the franchises given by the
people are made as the chief basis OF
valuation.
Now there IS an effort Ia Philadel-
phia TO have Councils repeal the or
ldinances granting the franchises pre-
sumahly because the people hold that
they should be paid for like any other
commodity Formerly Councils feel
that they had safeguarded the interests
Of the people when IN granting a con-
'cession worth millions there have been
inserted clauses providing for a min-
imum Of paving to be done by the COM
'pany.
But we appear TO have reached a
point in our government Of muniolpali-
ties when we demand that q pubic
franchise. like any other commodity,
shall be sold FOR what it is worth, In

Washington, June 10. ~ For some

had under consideration the expe-
diency Of establishing range finders
in the fighting tops of the war vessels
in place OF the one-pound guns which
have occupied places there. There is
a twofold purpose in this change. It
will give the officers in charge Of the
range finders a more comprehensive
view of the horizon and the possibility
of locating an enemy than is now af-
forded, and also will enable them to
control the batteries with better results
