Songs my mother taught me. That's
what The Bohemian Girl is made of.
You may get away from the popular
song of the day; you may forget Love
Me and the World Is Mine," you may
slip from memory's sleeve all recol-
lection of the latest coon song and be
happy. You may even, if you are
lucky put canned versions of THE
Merry Widow Waltz" away from you.
but you can't forget the songs your
mother taught you. That's why The
Bohemian Girl" is in for a run at the
American theater, IL last nights au-
dience at the Market street playhouse
may be taken as an indication of the
public's desire to hear the ancient yet
perennial opera It's melodies. sweet
and smooth, and its harmonies unob-
trusive and familiar, bring back mem-
cries of the other days; for there are
few of us so old that we missed the
songs from the Balfe opera in our
babyhood.
EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE
1t makes one suffer to think how
badly the piece would have to be sung
to miss the encores that delighted
audience waits to bestow upon its gems
to those songs with which we grew
up. Last nights performance was far
from taxing forbearance in this par
ticular. 1t was, in the main, excellent,
and some of the numbers were even
better than that. Notably. Miss Edith
Masons songs-she was Airline. the Bo-
hemian girl and daughter of the count
were all effective and her singing of
II Dreamt / Dwelt in Marble Halls"
brought down the house and not few
tears. Throughout the piece she car
ried a sweetly demure and pensive air,
fitting the role and herself charmingly.
She was encored, indeed, before she
started to sing the well known phrases.
Steindorff's baton had not fallen on
the third beat of the Introductory
measures before the audience, knowing
what was coming, began to applaud.
1t was the same with Swickard, as the
count, when he sang THE Heart Bowed
Down; when Persse, as Thaddeus,
sang When Other Lips and when
Bernice Holmes. as the gypsy queen,
san bliss Forever Past" Miss Holmes,
by the way, made much of her scenes
in the second and last act, and made
the old fashioned music and libretto
seem real and true.
MELODIES AND MEMORIES
The opera will run one week. Last
night 1 saw at the theater persons
who. 1T is safe to say, have not been
inside Of a playhouse for months. IL not
for years. They did not come to hear
great music, but to enjoy melodies
and memories. The same motive will
keep the American theater a lively
place this week. no doubt. for no one
knows when The Bohemian Girl' will
be heard again, and the younger gen.
Grafton should get a chance to teach
its songs to the coming citizens.
The orchestra is we'll drilled and con-
ducted; the chorus is large and well
trained. The scenic settings are none
too good. but nobody seems to mind

proclaimed that We would go forward
with the advertising of our resources
until all the world would know of
them, yet the steady stream of for
eigners have poured into the United
States at the rate of something like
one million people per annum with
scarce a sprinkling of them being dl-
rected TO our southern shores. These
people have settled in the great
cities, in fact. they have principally
made the great cities of our country.
They have gone largely to populate
and make the great west. Iney
have gone into the factories, or the
mines of New England or upon the
fertile plains of the west, but either
through prejudice or because OF lack
of inducements held out to them or
for some other cause they have re-

competitors 10 deliver our goods. We
should not rest until the flag shall
float at every dock as a messenger
of peace and as an advertisement OF
trade. When We secure our own
ships to sail from our own ports, car
rying our own goods, then will IL be
time enough to bring in foreign pop
ulation 10 tiH our soil; and not until
then will We have rounded out OUT
destiny. Not until our statesmen turn
their efforts to working out this in
dustTfal problem will they have q
free grasp of the duty which civiliza-
ton imposes. Let the work of deep
ening our harbors go on; let us con-
tinue to improve our waterways,
dredge out our rivers, and build
great merchant marine to carry our
produce all over the world.
Give our boys and girls a technical
training-teach the blacks TO be in
telligent farmers. and the South will
care but little whether the foreigner
comes or goes. We have a great re-
serve supply of land, timber and OF
minerals. 1t matters not whether we
develop as fast as the west or popu-
late so densely as the east. If We

We have the greatest asset that any
country ever had. Let us teach the
negro to produce the cotton. Let us
teach the white people how to pro-
duce the cotton cloth. There are four
teen hundred million people outside
of the United States who are either
scantily clad or have no clothes at
all. We ought to produce thirty
million bales of cotton in the South
to be woven into fabric to be sent
abroad.
AS we'll as the cultivation of cotton
We would need to cultivate law and
order and system. We need to build
more schools and factories before we
turn the immigration tide. We must
impress upon the world that life and
property is absolutely safe and that

tolerated These are the evils which
the headline writer's of a sensational

the evils which must be corrected

It has been asserted that there is
plenty of labor in the South, if it would

intelligent application of such forces

it would be better for us that We set
