A SERMONET FOR WORKERS
tDy Ii. 4. tlapgoodJ

The employment market Ia now such
that there Is Il bargain in brains" or
almost every corner for employers to
choose from. More good men have
lost good Jobs. and are willing to take
little Jobs with hard work and little
pay. than ever before.
The employer has q distinct advan-
tage over the employe. Only such OF
the latter as are fortified by sufficient
amount OF perseverance. coupled with
ability to work hard and well for little
money. can hope to break through the
barriers raised BY the recent near
panic.
There's no chance for clockwatchers
and the follow who says he wasn't
hired to do that" The man who shlrks
his work, or performs It indifferently,
Is not working now. nor is indifference
his main characteristic any longer.
Only the chap who has the appetite
of two men for work, and the capacity
TO make good where two average mel,
would fall down, can hope to coin
money and build up a future worth
caused the average man to lose hio
grip.
Only the other day, one of the lprges,
industrial establishments In Pittsburg,
which had laid off several thousand
workmen when the stocks began TO
tumble, began to hire new men for
it's mills. while no one was engaged to
h.. {,s h.. nfflA
The superintendent noticed young
college chap who kept on calling in
spite of the fact that he was told as
regularly that there was nothing do
ing.
II don't like to be rough with you"
said the superintendent at the young
chaps seventh call, but you're get
ting to be a nuisance. and the nexi
time you call you won't be let in"
"All right" said the youth of per.
severance, maintaining his seat.
That's ALL" retorted the superin.
tendent, ''why don't you go?"
II 1 won't be let in the next time,
III stay right here and wait until
there is something doing"
The young mans nerve. and his evil
dent determination to sleep in the office
until something turned up, so impressed
the superintendent. that he introduced
him to the president. He was prompt
ly hired to assist in secretarial duties,
and started in to make the FUR" fly.
He didn't stop to ask about the salary.
so long as he was given a chance to
show what he could do.

might be called Christian by any court
esy OF language. And yet the highways
have to be secured every summer for
students and enticing scholarships held
out. Another and more potent cause Is
found I'm the fact that college students
eager TO better mankind are carried
away from the ministry by sociologlsts
lecturlng on sweatshops and leading
stunning parties" Secular charities
today are employing hundreds OF noble
minded workers who, with an old-fash-
toned education, would have chosen tho
church as means OF realizing their al
truism.
A third cause OF decadence was that
Andover is not a center OF population;
hence. while all seminaries feel selcular
competition, those in small towns arc
especially menaced by the fate that
has driven Andover out of her quiet
retreat back to humanity. lis It posi-
Bile" asks New York paper that
the next generation will see all the
rural seminaries deserted and score
Of great theological schools In as many
great cities of million inhabitants each?
If so, what VIII become of the old,
white steepled country church?"
There Is little doubt that in moving
to a great center of intellectual work
and population, the identity and tradi-
tons OF old Andover will swiftly dis
appear. This change in location illus
trates the modern tendency to move to
the centers of population. This ten
dency at first affected only business
concerns, next schools, and now
churches are tending in the same direc-
ton. But 1t remains to be seen whether
or not the American people are tired
even of the liberal and revised theology
which Andover so ably represents.

REVIVAL OF BoNNETs.
Boston Transcript.

We are told that the bonnet will re-
turn to favor this season. it being some
years since 1t was worn by those who
give thought TO the uses of millinery.
The report raises an interesting Ques-
ton: Who VIII wear the bonnet? In
Its previous existence there We're ladies
who were accused OF behavior unbe-
coming their age If they presumed TO
wear hats in their declining years.
Their first pair OF bonnet strings mark
ed the beginning of the shelf period"
as custom had told them for genera
lions, and they accepted the dictum
without murmuring. But now we have
no old ladies. The grandmother wears,
with the approval of society, the same
style OF coat, skirt and headgear that
her granddaughter affects, and II is
hardly likely that the woman who has
sighted pier fifty" will announce her
self by wearing the aging bonnet For
the bonnet does make its wearer look
mature TO say the least Knowing this
It Is difficult TO reconcile the rplmoT
to the spirit OF youthfulness that is
In the air and until Easter Sunday
comes TO prove or deny II we shall
hardly accept this bonnet rumor,

Is a good deal OF suavity, more or less

lasses is lung over the proceedings, but
always IN the end the faction In the

the contests In their own interest ana

most legitimate contests have been
flung out of the window and there rs
no redress for tho injured ones The
brutality Of politics Is seen in It's worst
forms at the sessions Of the national
committees on credentials Moreover,
this brutality Is exercised by men who
In their private voCatinns are mostly
exemplary. But IA these sessions OF

THE POWELL CONCERT.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Permit me to make q brief reply to the article in today's paper regarding the slim attendance at the Powell con- cert. The writer assigns the cause to the "unappreciative attitude of Phoc- nicians towards music" Not so. The statement is unjust in that respect. While the author of said article justly doplores the fact, he is evidently not familiar enough with the attitude of Phoenix people towards music, hence little premature in his conclusions. This little town can justly and proud ly lay claim to the fact of having more musical people to the population than any other city in the country. And people who appreciate good music. But it has also the poorest population, as we all must concede, and to spend from & to SIP to the family for an evenings music, no matter how meri- torious it may be. and in the face of approaching Christmas which alone produces lean purses, is first consid- cred, before done.
 While it is depiored on all sides that the enterprise was financially not a big success. while we admire the pluck and courage of the management so unworthy of failure we must assign the cause to lack of business foresight. Even talent in art and music has a commercial value. and any merchant knows enough, in order to sell his goods, especially articles of luxury even if he has a monopoly of same not to put a prohibitive price on it. The admission in this instance was en- tirely too high and positively prohib itive. Had the prices been s1 and $50 respectively, the house would have been packed. To ask coolly S2.50 ad- mission, as though it was a box seat in grand opera, means to the pros pective purchaser that he is barred

MRS. TEMPLES TELEGRAM
 HERE DURING HOLIDAYS
One of Many Good Plays Mr.
 Wheelock Has in Store For Phpenix.

| Manager Wheelock of the Elks thea
 ter has completed arrangements where lby Mrs. Temples Telegram" the farce
 comedy which scored a success last season, will be the attraction during the holidays.
 An innocent little falsehOod original fly told by Jack Temple in order to save himself from the unjust wrath of his loving but jealous wife starts the trouble This one little fib is gradual fly developed until it becomes a verit- lable labyrinth of falsehoOds which as isumes such immense proportions that finally the tangle threatens to undo forever the happiness of three bliss ful households. Temple pulls his friend,
 Fuller into the mix-up to vouch for the truth of the original fib, and Fuller Iobligingly assumes the name of Brown lin order to help the worried Temple out of his difficulties. Then appears the real Mrs. Brown who vents her
 wrath on innocent Mrs. Temple. The genuine Mir Brown and the true Mrs.
 Fuller come sucCessivciy into the plot
 with an added complication at every
 entry until the who> affair is in such Ia tangle that it is an apparent impOs-
 sibility to straighten the matter out.
 The audience is kept in one continuous
 convulsion of laughter from the initial
 rise of the curtain until it's final fall
 by the numberless ludiCrOus complica-
 tions. which are of course finally clear
 ed up by 9 straightforward recital of
 truthful facts.

ITS UP TO PHOENIX
 TO PLACE HER ORDER
This City May Have GooG Shows or Bad Ones. as the Choice Is Made.

The manager of the Elks' theater was seen yesterday and had the fol- lowing to say: When I booked in here Mrs. Temples Telegram, l thought that I was doing the theater- going public of Phoenix a favor, and l was quite pleased, but the public does not seem to fully share in my joy. The sale is not so bad. but it is not any thing like what this play deserves. The reports of the acting of it have been very good, and l hear that they get all the fun out of the lines and the situations that is in them.
 ''The play itself needs no one to speak for it except those that do not follow the course of theatrical hits of the east This farce ran a year in New York, and almost that long in Chicago. and has proved one of the real entertainments on the road. Does not Phoenix want this type of clever writing? Does it not want play that one can sit and laugh and chuckle all evening over? or is it that we have made a mistake in not allowing the cheaper class of attraction to come m, and that to play to big business We should not have refused time to the thirty or more companies that we turned away? I shall watch with in tcrest the result of this performance. and shall let it determine for me whether in the future l shall book nothing but what I consider first-clasS plays, or. if the keeping of our house dark waiting for the best to come along is not a great mistake. l don't want to go back to playing all those fearful things that once came our way, but if the public won't support the good things that I bring in, l shall be obliged 10.
 ''I' am now trying to get in several fine plays and stars. but if they ever get wind of the bad business that some other play that they consider good has done. all is over between us. It is hard enough to coax them in now, with all kinds of promises of big houses. but once let them catch me in lie. and it is back to the Uncle Josh Perkins for us for the rest of our natural life. It is all in the hands of Phoenix, if we are to have the good things that get in here. and I promise that l shall get the best that I can and no others the seasons statements shown east this summer will entice many in here that would never otherwise come; but if I have not the big business to show they will stay away with the same en- thusiasm that they have heretofore displayed. I am giving the public the best that can be had; let the public trust me. support me. and in the end it will find that it has paid"
