The April WOmans Home Companion

A distinct contribution to con-
temporaneous literature is the epic
poem, "At Pilates Judgment Seat. y
by Thomas Nelson Page, in the
April WOmaRS H0me Companion.
In this poem, which occupies two
full pages of the magazine, Mr..
Page departs from the usual pro-
cedure and describes the Judgment
from Pilates point of view. The
result is mastery and novel treat.
ment Of the most marvellous trial
scene in the worlds history. The
poem is strikingly decorated by
Herbert Paus. Another important
feature in this number of the Ne
mars Home Companion is Il charact-
eristic editorial by Edward Everett
Hale, "Some "reminiscences Of the
Nations Capitol. - Homer Daven-
port, who recently visited the Ara
bian Desert for this magazine, has
a notable article, entitled "The Arab
Horse in Legend and Story" in
which is given a wealth of first
hand information on very interest
ing subject. The ever helpful sub,
ject Of home building is treated by
Henry Harrison Lewis il an article
Selecting the Site" which des-
cribes in detail this important pre-
liminary in home construction. An
unusually strong array of fiction
headed by a timely short story,
"Mrs. Sackett's Easter Bonnet, l"
by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and
including Josephine Daskam Bac-
on's serial, The Domestic Advent
ures," and short stories by Jeanette
Lee, Temple Bailey, Lulu Judson
Moody and Gelston Spring give
added Interest to the April number.
Among the special departments are
For the Girl Who Earns Her Own
Living" by Anna Steese Richard
son; Mrs, Sangster's Home Page;
Sam Loyd's Puzzle Page; The

tee; a page for "Serious-M Minded
Women" conducted by Herbert d.
Ward; Dan Boards Own Page for
Boys; Practical Fashions, by Grace

The further the probe goes into
the Capitol scandal the worse the
the disclosures are. Recent evil
dence developed the fact that San
derson sublet lot of the work to
payne and Company, and they sub
let it to Wilt and Son. Here were
two contracting concerns between
the firm that did the work and the
State that paid for it. Of course,
the profits were piled up enormous.
ly. Wilt and Son were paid $4,000
tor two rostrums for which the
State paid Sanderson 500, 74S. This
is very much the widest margin for
rake-offs that has yet been disclos-
ed. The architect, Of course, knew
what Sanderson got, and if he could
not tell whether the job was worth
$4,000 or 500, 900 he was hopelessly
incompetent. If he knew that it
was a $4,000 job that Sanderson
was paid 500, 900 tor, then ne was
something else.
An unsuccessful bidder on paint
ing testified that he offered to do
the work for S2H per cent below
the maximum price, while Sander
son offered to do it for only I6 per
cent. less and got the contract.
The difference was over 5000, 900.
If any painter could do the work
for I7A per cent. of the maximum
and make money (and Mr.. Gibson
insists that he would have made
profit had he got the job, then the
maximum price, of course, was
several times too high. Who nam
ed the maximum price? Why, ar
chitect Huston. The object in re-
quiring a maximum to be named is
to protect the State from excessive
bids by collusion or otherwise. But
a maximum price that is more than
five times what the work is worth
is evidently no protection. If III
per cent. of the maximum would
have yielded a profit, what did
Sanderson's 81 per cent. yield?-Ex.

The problem of erosion presents
itself to tie commission IN a differ
ent form in the arid west where the
North Platte. the Missouri and
dozen other streams all carry down
annually millions of tons Of the
richest soil to choke the channel of
the Mississippi and put the sediment
where it will 70 the most harm.
The Reclamation Service, whose
Director. +. H. Newell is member
Of the Commission will undertake
to handle that end of the problem
with immense settling reservoirs
that will send the waters of the
Mississippi aud free also of the dis
asterous floods that ruin the farm
lands along their course.
The problem of light and power
from wat-r flow will also be consid
cred by the Commission. 1t is esti-
mated by the members that IRON
this source, the coal consumption
OF the country can be reduced a
third, lengthening by just that
much the producing life of the coal
mines
1t is a great vision, and one in
which a scientific Imagination can
revel. Just what the mine members
of the commission will be able to
accomplish in the way of outlining
a plan before Congress meets again
is uncertain. The mere working
out of the details will be the work
of years for experts and the turn
ing Of the plan into an accomplish
ed act will be the work of more
years still and will mean the ex-
penditure of vast sums of money.
But there were 900, 900 letters sent
to Congress last year from the Miss
issippi Valley alone on the need Of
such a commission, and it ought to
be satisfaction to the writers to
know that the plan is taking shape.

President Mellen of the New

railroad was at the White House
this week to see President Roose-
velt about the railroad situation.
Nothing touching the interview
has so far been given out. The
President has also talked with J.
Seligman of the big banking house,
James Spyer of Spyer Brothers,
and it is understood will have con-
ferences with number of other big
bankers and railroad men with a
view to shaping legislation for the
next session of Congress that will
tend to the better control of the in
terstate railroads. Nothing definite
in connection with the plan has yet
been given out. But there is ia k
of federal charters for the railroads
and government supervision of their
capitalization, all of which will
tend to put them more under gov
ernment control and will be better
for the protection of the small
stock-holder.

GOTHAM TRIES TO
stop 'SALOME:'
Directors of Opera House, Stung by
Adverse Criticism of Sensational
Opera, Order the Play
Stopped
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. ga protest
against further presentation of "Sa-
lome," the sensational opera by Rich
ard Strauss, has been made to Direc-
tor Conried of the Metropolitan opera
house by the directors of the company
which owns the opera house.
'Salome' is based on Oscar Wilde's
dramatic verson of the Bible story of
the beheading of John the Baptist by
Herod's order to satisfy the caprice of
Salome.
The presentation last Tuesday night
was the sensation of the opera season
and attracted a great amount of crfti-
cism, mostly directed at the text of the
opera, the ''dance of the seven wells"
performed by Salome before Herod,
and the kissing of the lips of the sew
cred head of John the Baptist by
Salome.
The protest was considered tonight at
a meeting of the directors of the Con-
ried Metropolitan opera house. Later a
statement was issued in which 1t was
intimated that the production would be
continued.
After setting forth that the subject of
the protest was being further discussed
between the directors of the opera COM
pany and the owners of the opera
house. the statement continues in part:
"Mr. Conried holds that the produc-
ton of 'Salome is a great artistic
achievement. Inasmuch as this musical
drama has been acknowledged by the
musical world as one of the most i'm
portant, If not the most important,
musical production since Wagner, and
has been produced in many of the most
important opera houses in Europe, Mr.
Conried said it was his duty to the
musical public of New York to priduce
this work.
Mr.. Conried hopes the directors Of
the Metropolitan Opera and Real Estate
company, on full consideration of the
subject, will withdraw their objections
and share his view that the musical
public is entitled to an opportunity to
hear this master work adequately pro-
duced."
