ART GONE WRONG.


The final decision to withdraw "Sa-
lone" from the repertory Of the Con
ried Opera company, in it's engagement
at the Metropolitan opera house IN
New York, looks at this distance like
a triumph of common decency over art
gone wrong. One must judge, of course,
from what has been printed about the
opera since it's production. The bal
ance of critical opinion seems to be
heavily in favor of the contention that
"Salome" is not musical masterpiece,
but that its success must depend main
ly on an appeal to unnatural ana I'M
wholesome sentiment. 1t was on this
theory that the trustees of the Metro
politan opera house voted in favor OF
its elimination from the repertory. The
necessity for the verdict is the more
amazing because of the good company
in which the opera is found. Herr Con-
ried, director of the Metropolitan Opera
company, is the most distinguished
exponent Of high grade music known
on this side of the Atlantic. Richard
Strauss who wrote the music Tor Sa-
lone" is generally recognized as the
worlds greatest living composer. The
artists who were intrusted with the in
depreciation are musicians OF hlgh re-
pute. and distinction. 1t truly is aston
ishing to find a musical production
under such auspices and in such hands
condemned not only as bad art, but as
worse than immoral.
The explanation, however, is not diff
ficult to find. 1t relates to the libret-
to of "Salome" and it's author. The
book was written by the late Oscar
Wilde, whose name at the time of his
death was a byword wherever the Eng
lish language is spoken. Wilde was
literary genius, but he was also a de-
generate. According to all accounts,
his degenerate tendency found full play
in the conception of the opera which
has been barred from the stage of an
American opera house.
The biblical story of Salome is not
nice, but If the author % the opera
had been content with a, dramatic re-
production of the biblical story 1t is

ORDINATIONS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

physical Deterioration Among the
Poor in America and One Way of
Checking It," is the title of compre-
hensive article by the Rev. Percy
Stickney Grant in the February ,1st
number of The North American Re-
view. Mr.. Grant makes a very earnest
plea. and closes his article with these
suggestions:
1T is an old saying that every inch a
man adds to his chest measure adds
| to the measure of his days. America
can show twice as many physicians to
population as Great Britain, and four
times as many as Germany. We have
seventy times as many physicians in
proportion to the general population as
physical directors. We permit this dis
parity on the theory perhaps, that an
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure Prevention needs more nu-
IN erical representation. l am, then,
pleading that the following steps may
be taken in public school instruction.:
Il. An effective system of physical
education to be recognized part of
our public school system. BY 'effec-
tive / mean one that does for a boy,
SO far as the physique is susceptible,
what the United States army setting
up exercises do for a recruit. The pre-
else system to be established by COM
mittee of experts.
''2. Athletic exercises in schools, US
ing gymnasiums, baths, etc.

der official supervision.
"a. Summer camps, free of cost and
compulsory in attendance, for boys OF
school age.
IS. A noon meal for poor children in
elementary and high schools"

TOO MUCH TALK.

Talking for publication becomes
regrettable when it is used merely to
strengthen the public man who offers
the interview, with the violent and un-
thinking. Instance of this fact may be
found In the newspaper accounts OF
public utterances by the California po-
litical leaders, who speak of Japan as
Americas deadly foe and predict war
between the countries as inevitable,
Senator Perkins Is the Californian OF
prominence most recently to argue the
irreconcilabilfty OF the two races, fore
cast q Monaghan combination and pre-
dict war as probable.
This kind of talk reads we'll in San
Francisco, but coming from United
States senator it places this country in
a false attitude when read in Japan,
and conveys an entirely erroneous i'm
preston of the feeling in America. We
want no war in Japan or with any
other country, but it is always possible
mores the pity, for fools, enthusiasts
and demagogs to create wars.
President Roosevelt has offered CAL
ifornians way out. The real trouble
there is not SO much the Jap children
in the schools, but Jap competition in
the labor market. The prejudice against
the japanese children is less against
color than against the cheapening Of
the price Of labor by their parents.
Roosevelt proposes the practical ex-
clusion of the coolie. If the west coast
is wise, 1t will get in line and behind
his proposition.
Long ago agitators began predicting
war with Japan. Such war is pos
sible, for American interests clash with
japanese interests in many places; 1t
is probable If that part of the Ameri-
can people nearest Japan insist upon it.
But San Francisco is working toward
a new earthquake when she foments
war with Japan.

derstood that man who could not
prevent his own congressional district
from going solid for Cummins was not
entitled to any very enthusiastic sup
port fro mthem. Dolliver most bitterly
offended the railways and corporate In

ulation and reciprocity. Had he stood
for progressive policies in Iowa moth
ing could have prevented him from be-
ing the Iowa candidate for president
two years from now. But Dolliver has
seemed unable to rise above the petty
jealousy which has made him antagon-
ize Governor Cummins and his friends,
altho they would be friendly to him ii
they could. In the outcome he had very
little enthusiastic support, but on the
other hand everyone acknowledged his
ability and fitness, and no one in reality
was ready to contest his election.

I, safe to say there would have been no
sensation. There are those who think
biblical topics should not be used as
the basis for any dramatic produc-
ton, but this sentiment is not so
strong as it used to be. Many So
called .'bibies plays" are now cordially
welcomed by pulpit and press. The
objection to the Wilde-Strauss "Sa-
lone" is that it distorts the bible story
in so objectionable and grewsome a
way as to put it beyond the pale of
even the elastic bounds of stage pro-
priety.
The Salome of the bible was the
daughter of Herodias, who was the
wife of Philip and who had been APP
propriated as wife by Herod in DELI
ance of law and morals John the
Baptist had criticised Herod for his
act and had been thrown into prison
in consequence. Salon1e, without any
thought of gain danced for Herod,
and so pleased him that he offered to
grant any favor she might ask. Sa-
lone sought her mother and consult
ed as to what favor should be exact
ed. Herodias hated John for the light
in which he had placed her before the
public She persuaded Salome to de-
mand his head of Herod Herod re-
luctantly kept his word. John was be-
headed, and the head was taken to
Salome on charger, Salome in turn
taking it to her mother.
The Salome of Wilde and Strauss
was voluptuous creature who fell in
love with John and sought his favor.
Denied his kisses in life, she conceived
the plan of having him beheaded and
pressing her lips to his in death. The
sensuous dance in which Salome wins
the favor of Herod and the scene in
which she displays her lustful affec-
ton for the CORY head of the dead
John are the principal scenes in the
play. They have been surrounded by
the composer with weird music which
is said to be appropriate enough to the
decadent theme it is intended to car
ry out.
1t is highly creditable to the New
York critics that they have not al
lowed beauty of appointments and
unusual musical effects to drown the
main elements of unwholesomeness in
such presentation. There is plenty
of room in the world for the music
or the drama that elevates or enter
tains. No legitimate purpose can be
conserved by using the stage to illus
| trate study in downright degeneracy.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

(nllCtiGll OOuAly IiSSSJ
You often hear it said that South
Dakotans are given to telling pretty
big stories, in fact, to sometimes
stretching the truth; but have
lived in the state number of years
and / know positively that there are
no grounds for such accusations. A
more truthful lot Of fellows never
lived. I was talking with an old TEL
low this morning who told me OF an
actual experience he had had the day
before. 1t was a bitter cold day and
he had gone to town and bought a
pound of gun powder, put 1t in mis-
coat pocket and started home. On
the way home he stuck his pipe that
had fire in it in the same pocket. inc
powder caught fire and before he could
put it out, about half of it burned up
IF If had not been so extremely cold the
old man thought he would have lost the
entire pound.

A BARBER SHOP REFORM.


We have started a crusade against
the city bred chap who makes it a
practice of waiting until Saturday to
get hair cut. Our BARRIERS should, in
the interests of suffering humanity
refuse to cut the hair of a town GUS
toner on Saturday, because in 999
cases out of 1000 he could as we'll have
had his Sampsonian habilaments re-
moved some other day. The farmer,
who comes to town on Saturday is en-
titled to every privilege of the barber
shop, but the town fellow-not by a
mill site. We hope Jefferson citizens
will get this little suggestion under the
roots of their hair and have their NOW
ing done at more opportune times than
Saturdays. This may be none of our
business, but we pass it along for
the good of the order.

PATRONS OF WRECKED
BANK RE0RGANIZE
Management Of Defunct California
Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany Is in Charge Of
Depositors

By Associated Press,
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 16.--A complete
reorganization of the management of the
defunct California Safe Deposit and Trust
company was effected today. The direc-
tors and officers rendered their resigna-
tions at a meeting held in the Merchants
Exchange building and a new set was
promptly elected. B. p. Oliver, foreman
of the late grand jury, was chosen presi-
dent of the bank; Louis Saroni, vice presi-
dent, and o. NJ. Goldaracena, secretary.
The new directors include r. o. Bliss,
A II. Williams, j. c. Brickell, j. A.
Young, A. Aronson, B. p. Oliver, Louis
Saroni and David f. Walker.
1t was stated that Walker was asked to
remain ON the board of directors that he
might assist the new officers in rearrang-
Ing the affairs of the bank Walker is
acquainted with the New York end of the
banks affairs, and the new officers de-
sire to be enlightened on this phase of the
business.
The privilege of further being at liberty
in the custody of detectives for the pur-
pose of seeking bondsmen was today de-
MED to j. Dalzell Brown, general man
ager of the California Safe Deposit and
Trust company, and w. ]. Bartnett, for
mer general counsel and vice president of
Western Pacific railroad. who is a director
in the insolvent institution. Since their
arrest and confinement in the city prison
on the charge of enlbezzlement, growing
out of the disappearance of the Cotton
securities, which was revealed by the
failure of the trust company, Bartnett and
Brown have been allowed to be at large
during the daytime in charge of officers.
