I never see Norma Kopp who, in pri-
vate life, is Mrs. William Danforth, as,
no doubt. you know. without recalling a
time when The zeal of a press agent over
reached itself. 1t happened several years
ago when Miss Kopp was in a company
headed by Frank Daniels. For months
the press agent had been weaving marvel
Gus romances about everybody in the
company. and when Boston was to be
played. he simply let himself go. He told
the story of Miss Kopp's summer vaca-
ton. She had been in South Africa, he
said, and he related a number Of hair
breadth escapes which had befallen her
while she was the guest of her uncle,
the celebrated Gen. Spion Kop." To give
the thing vraisemblanee. he threw in a
touch or two about her cousins, the lit
tie Kopjes," and, pleased with his merry
jest, sent his manuscript to the dramatic
editor of a Boston paper. The company
arrived in Boston. and naturally the man.

the advance notices had to say. There
were paragraphs about everybody but

the attention Of the press agent, and he
went airily to ask the editor, to whom he
had intrusted his masterpiece. about It.
Wasn't that a good story, 1 sent?" he
asked.
Yes" admitted the dramatic editor.
Funny. too, wasn't it?"
"Uh-huh"
Then why didn't you use it?'
The editor squirmed in his chair.

people to laugh at you. You made a
very pardonable mistake, but l had a lit

I hear from New York that Miss Alys
Bently. who has done so much for music
in our public schools. is spending a part
Of her vacation over there introducing
her methods into some Of the public insti-
tutions. The waits at the Sheltering Arms
are learning to sing her quaint and fasei-
mating songs, initiating the clock, and the
violin, and the drum. and the wind and
doing all the other interesting things that
seem mere play, but in reality are most
serious and effective exercises in voice
placing and tOne-production. The children
in an East Side summer public school are
taking up the new music work, too. and
Miss Bently's days are busy ones. One
Of her friends sang for me the other day
a new song of hers. 1t is a skipping
rope song. and it Is one Of the most en-
tertaining songs I ever listened to. The
words end with warning not to jump
100 times, because a little girl who did
that once dropped as soon as she reach
ed the hundredth skip. I dom suppose
there's ever been a skipping rope turned
that somebody didn't voice that warning
We all heard about that little girl when
We first began to go to school. Her shade
hangs over every playground in these
United States, but nobody thought to sing
about her till Miss Bently set out to put
into school songs the things children

ISOLATION about the great quantity OF

There is one thing calculated to cast
discredit upon the story and that is
the recent official statement regard

than It ever was before. The big COM

such a showing, and concealed a very
large volume. We suspect that the

CRAZED BY GRIEF.

We hope it will turn out that when
our democratic friends in the assembly
were concocting House Concurrent
Resolution No >. they were so moved
b. pity for California that they were
mentally incapable Of devising a trap
and an embarrassment for their re-
publican brethren at the other end Of
the Capitol.
If we and all the rest Of US shall be
assured that the sympathetic grief Of
the democrats betrayed them into
a reckless and perilous style of com
position. our faith in our kind will re-
main unshakeh
The resolution must have been pre-
pared without malice and without
forethought. it was so evidently dam
gerous The council. IL II had not
been blinded by tears for the woes Of
the Californians. would have detected
nj a glance the bomblike character Of
the document.
The opening clause is an attack.
without the slightest provocation. upon
a republican congress which it is de-
elared is year by year more firmly
fastening the grip Of federal authority
upon the states. This is the first time
that such an accusation was ever
made. congressman. all of whom
come from the states. are naturally
jealous Of the powers Of the common
wealths. The only previous accusa-
ton against them in this matter is
that congress has been slothful and
has permitted executive authority to
extend itself But Of late there has
been an awakening Of the states rep
.resentatives. and efforts have been
made with some success even now to
ourtail federal authority
The council therefore could not
have been expected TO endorse a reso-
luton once it noticed the opening
falsehood uttered either intentional
curtail federal power.
In the council debate on the motion
20 reconsider the resolution there was
an attempted justification Of the at
tack upon congress by the statement
that the senate was necessarily a par
ty to the treaty with Japan. But it
must not be forgotten that it is only
lately that this treaty has become
hateful At the time it was formed
nine-tenths of the Americans who had
been in sympathy with Japan through
out the far eastern war favored the
treaty or would have favored if it had
been brought to their attention. There
would nowhere have been a voice
raised against it
1t may not be a bad treaty, after all.
We think it will ultimately be found
not to be bad when the United States
Supreme Court has passed on the Cal
ifornia case. The only known bad
thing about it is the construction
which has been put upon it. The SEN
ate certainly never entertained the
notion Of it that the president does.
nor did the president at that time The
construction is an entirely new one,
forced by the San Francisco incident
and the attitude of Japan.
In further relief Of congress from
the accusation Of the assembly resolu-
ton, We may call attention to the de
bates on the subject which have been
irregularly precipitated in congress
since the presidents message No
congressman has entered upon an
elaborate defense OF the presidents
view, which has been attacked at
length by a large majority Of the SEN
ators and representatives who have
alluded to the subject
