LULU GLASER'S EXPERIENCE.

Make haste slowly"
That is the motto that Miss Lulu
CHASER advised for a young girl anxious
TO adopt the stage as a profession.
II believe that going on the stage
that fascinating experience TO the aspi-
rant-is less matter OF romance than
hardship said Miss Glaser in speaking
OF the dramatic profession and its appeal
to the stage-struck girl.
And Lulu Glaser is in a position to
speak from experience and knowledge on
the subject. Starting her career as a
chorus girl she may be relied upon for
at least an honest judgment as 20 what
is best in the selecting Of a career behind
the footlights. From the obscure chorus
position Lulu Glaser has risen 20 a place
of prominence among contemporary stars
in light opera. Hers has been a rapid
rise. it is true. yet fraught with many
hardships and disheartening experiences.
There is a world of truth in that old
expression, A round peg will not At into
square hole" said Miss Glaser. "A
girl has no excuse for working as a dish
washer when Providence has ordained
that she should consecrate her given
talent 20 a calling more worthy and ele-
vating. And yet who will not say that
there ara many so-called artists on the
stage to-day who belong in the kitchen.
This class does not exist long. II is true,
but they are responsible to a great extent
for mis-steps in the matter OF going on
the stage.
The solution Of the problem. if such

THE MEANING OF 1T.

The whole country will await with
unabating interest the story involved
in Roosevelt's final announcement
that he will not be a candidate to
succeed himself under any circum-
stances. The statement is without
equivocation or qualification Indeed,
nobody scanned the words of the
president in search of a double mean
ing. Frankness and honesty of ex-
preston are his characteristics.
Some time before congress con-
vened Senator Aldrich and others
called on President Roosevelt, osten-
sibly concerning his candidacy for a
third term. They left the white
house with expressions of satisfac-
tion on their lips. Then the New
York Sun and the New York Times
modified their severe attitude to-
ward the administration. Meantime
considerable was heard about the
Corte1you boom, in connection with
the movement to force the third
term on Roosevelt.
Indications point to a realization
on the part of Aldrich and others
that Roosevelt's personal popularity
is factor in the coming struggle
for the Republican nomination. that
they must reckon with; and that, il
Taft or some other equally good man,
thoroughly in sympathy with the ad-
ministration, is knitted. Roosevelt
himself will be forced into the arena
~ defense OF his policies.
We have all along contended that
Roosevelt's enemies would drive him
to accepting the nomination, and we
took the ground that the continuance
of his policies is OF more consequence
than observance Of the two term
precedent.
We also have believed that Roose-
welt does not desire a third term,
having enjoyed all the honors thar
can come to an American citizen. ana
seeing nothing in another term but a |
continuation OF the troubles and
labors of the Office.
we are inclined to believe Roose-
welt has won great political victory
for the people. We shall wait and
see.
At all events he has cleared the
political atmosphere at Washington.
and we may look for harmony be-
tween congress and the administra-
ton at this session.
