Competition in Art.

Consolidation is inevitable wher-
ever money and large numbers OF
men are essential to success. Com
petition is equally the rule wherever
individual ability and personal train
ing are needed. 1t is not necessary
to run these general truths TO earth,
1t should suffice to point out that
there has never been, and in the
nature of things can never be, trust
in art or a union of artists designed
to control the output of works of
genius.
These general observations are sug-
gested by the announcement in The
Times yesterday of new theatrical
alliance, or trust, in opposition to
the old one. This paper welcomes the
new element in affairs theatrical on
tween the two will be a benefit to the
stage and of advantage to the public.
Art, true art, neither the Belasco nor
the Frohman combination can ever
more then direct.
The subject is aside from the purely
personal one Of whether either COM
bination of theatrical directors and
managers has an artist among its
members. Theatrical management is
purely a matter of business; it deals
with the economic side OF art; but it
is not art, it is economy, business.
To the manager the playwright
brings his play, the actor his art,
the designer his skill, and the stage
director his knowledge and expert
ence- The business man, the man
ager, may be either one or all of
these; as manager, however, he COM
bines them with his money and offers
the product to the public. To do this
at the present date large sums of
money are essential, and as money
is proverbially timid there has been
combination, consolidation among
the managers and what is popularly
called trust has been created
Against this trust certain indepen-
dent artists and managers have been
arrayed and now these hostile forces
themselves have consolidated.
Let the good work go on. The art
of the truly great actor can never
be controlled by any trust, though it
may be employed and directed Nor
can the dramatic art of a true poet
be turned on or off like the spigot of
molasses barrel. Art of all kinds
will make the combinations of capital
subservient to its needs, and the peo-
pie of America will develop their
great artists when, and only when,
they are deserving of them

the vigorous peasantry and middle
classes of England not only the
physical stamina but the unstimulat-
ed mentality that will rise, when the
call comes, to any height and to all
requirements. The problem is an old
one, to preserve the vigor of a race
and yet increase its intellectual
activity.
The seriousness of the problem for
England and America is found in the
enormous influx of aliens of low type,
many of them practically paupers or
criminals. But there are influences
at work. both in England and in
America, not only for the improve
ment of these low type aliens, but
for the ennobling of our capable
classes" The air of freedom and
enlightenment that is often breathed
for the first time in England or
America, the compulsory education of
the children, the generous effect of
better diet, tend to elevate the low
type alien into an approach, at least,
to the capable. And among our
"capables" the influence of outdoor
exercise is likely to be felt. AS is
well said in Collier's: The class
which has been accused of avoiding
children is coming to live more rs the
English aristocrats do, and one of the
results will be to make the women
of that class have as many children
as the corresponding British women
have. The decrease in fertility
among the prosperous, in the last
half century, has been mainly in
the cities"
Race suicide is undoubtedly a con-
dition shockingly in evidence in our
cities and among our capable class"
This paper is inclined to optimism
on the subject, however; it believes
that while some stocks are voluntari-
ly terminating with this generation.
there is an abundant supply of physi-
cal. mental, and moral stamina upon
which the race may draw. Neverthe-
less, it is the duty of all of us, who
love our country, to urge upon the
capable classes" that they be not
numbered among the race suicide
criminals. The world will work out
its own salvation, but woe to the
man or woman who would attempt
to delay it.

Fluctuating Prices.

The Keep commission Is digging
up some very interesting material
in its investigation of the prices paid
by the several Government depart
ments for the same grade of supplies.
A tabulated statement of the prices
of certain well-known grades of ink.
paper, mucilage and pencils, as paid
by different departments, looks like
a report of the New York Stock
Market during panic with its open,
High, Low, Close"
The range of prices, too, would be
tempting to any trader whether he
boasted a seat on the exchange or
merely piked in a bucket-shop. For
instance, one grade of ink opened by
a sale to the Department of Justice
specialist at 22s. and, under active
demand from the farmer from the
Agricultural Department, aided by
manipulative orders put In by the
arbitrage houses, made a quick rise
of over point and a half to 4. where
copious supplies flooding the market
and pressure from a well-known bear
caused ii to decline to 2h. At
the latter price supporting orders
from the Department of Commerce
and Labor discomforted the bears. and
the shorts in ink rushed TO cover so
wildly that the Government Printing
Office was compelled to pay 43s for
its supplies. The bulls in ink, how
ever, were not able TO force the price
to the 8 mark; and, a double top
having been made, floods of ink com
mon were poured upon the market
until a veritable panic was produced
and the shrewd operator for the Post
office laid in his supply at the very
bottom, 1ss.
There is no explanation that occurs
70 us at the present time for such
discrepancies as are shown in the
prices of the same commodities to
the various departments. Perhaps
the Keep commission may discover
one. Rnt IT seems outrageous that
men engaged in so innocent an occu-
patton as the manufacture and sale of
writing fluid should impose upon the
purchasing agents to the extent

The London View.

The London view of things is not
always brilliant. but ii is reasonably
sure to be well-considered, is fire.
quently fair, and occasionally meaty.
They have other catch words and
stock phrases, too, from those we use,
and it is sometimes refreshing to see
how they handle subjects concerning
which We also have an interest.
For instance, the London journals
are devoting great deal of space
and much careful thought to the dis
cussion of national deterioration.
Now, national deterioration is a neat
phrase, very neat phrase; il means
race suicide, and in addition to that
1t means what we mean by race sui
eide. Incidentally, it means many
other things making for or against
the stamina. physical. mental, and
moral, of the English people.
The London Times has opened its
es.umns to two distinguished scien-
lists, who have been gUing their
views upon ''the quantitative degree
of inherited physical characteristic"
and "the infertility of the cultivated
classes" The upshot of the matter
being that both agree that there is
no distinction between the mode in
which mental and physical qualities
are inherited" anG that, ability run
ming in stocks, physically and men
tally filter stocks produce physically
and mentally filter offspring" The
ability considered is ordinary, practi-
cal ability, not the rare thing called
genius.
The Spectator, commenting on these
discussions, adds: Now comes the
serious point. If exceptional charac-
ters are inherited, a decline in the
birthrate OF the intellectual classes,
relatively to the poorer stocks. will
be a grave danger" The same paper.
after a careful analysis of the sub
ject, adds: "On a broad definition of
capacity as physical, mental, and
moral health, we should be surprised
TO find that the classes which possess
these qualities were infertile In COM
parison with their predecessors. In
fertile they are, of course, in compari-
son with lower stocks: but this is a
phenomenon which appears in every
epoch of history"
There is the problem stated in the
vary nlainest language. The Droh-
lem of race suicide is the infertility
of the capable classes.
The conclusions OF the Spectator
,re decidedly optimistic. Ii sees In
