Money Makes the Opera Star.

Money Makes the Opera Star.
Figures have been recently disclosed
showing that 1t costs at least $4,000
to get a hearing for an opera diva. 1t
Is a good investment for the winners.
Many put out the money and do not
win. In fact, the successes In the high
er fields of musical art are exceptions.
Thirty thousand dollars represents a
fortune for the average mercantile and
professional man. Young women or
somebody who is banker for them
risks 1t on a gamble about as uncertain
as faro or Wall street. Unfortunately
the loss Of money when it is lost is not
the whole of 1t. Years Of labor T
wasted and human hopes blasted.
Probably the average net earnings Of
the competent girl teacher or stenog-
rapher is greater than the average Of
girls who take up music for Il profess
sion. 1t is all right to try. but the
price should be kept in sight when
branching out.

The ..commi..ion rdea.. For cities.

The sssCOmm1sslOn IdeaS For Cities.
Since the opening Of the present leg
islative session several states have
come into line with the commission
plan Of governing cities. In some
cases Advance is attempted and even
claimed over the original Galveston
system, which has II v years rec
ord Of success to recommend 1t. Usual
~ the improvements aim at freer play
Of the popular will.
1t is a good sign that the people hest
tate to yield completely the burden Of
government to a few delegates. The
commission system has its analogy in
the business world, where authority
and responsibility are given into the
hands Of an agent. In this case the
principals cooperate with the agent,
but in ordinary politics the agent is
often the victim of rivalry or jealousy.
The closest approach to perfect gov
eminent In a democracy is where the
people earnestly want things to go
right and all hold up the hands Of the
oficial who is doing right.

The People aud the Stage.
In Il lecture upon his chosen art, 70.
Gently delivered at Harvard, Mr.. Per
cy MacKaye, a successful dramatist,
pleaded for popular encouragement to
the writer's Of plays. He held that
the dramatist's true incentive is the
public gathered in front of the foot
lights or ut least the multitude who
may be reached through a play. He
would have the a%ppreciat:ve theater
goers support the genius who enter
tains them by "a slap on the back"
Mr.. MacKaye seems to forget that the
manager always takes toll on public
appreciation at the box office.
But a recent scathing editorial in
Golfers Weekly points out that the
people have no chance to approve Of
the playwright's work and that the
genius for whom MIR. MacKaye pleads
must first suit the whim or the greed
Of the manager. There is no freedom
in the theater. says the editor. because

The Floating Fort.

England's premier recently declared
that new developments In naval con-
structi0n threaten to make the present
ideal %battleship obsolete, OF words to
that effect. Possibly he had in mind
the concrete armor for battleships
which Italy is working upon. At first
thought 1t would seem that concrete
sides strong enough to turn p~rojectiles
would make u big ship unwieldy.
This was. the original objection
brought against iron armor.
Recent modern efforts at the i'm
provement of battleships have led in
the direction of the floating fort. Our
mammoth ships are often called float
ing forts. Experts in concrete armor
insist that concrete in the sides Of a
battleship will resist shots just as well
as the stone wall of q land fort. The
stone wall is we'll nigh irresistible on
land. Navy men hesitate to encounter
coast f~ortifications having stone para
pets. If it turns out that warships can
bear up and maneuver under the
weight of stone parapets naval condi.
lions may be revolutionized before the
next great sea battle. Italian experts
declare that concrete need not
be heavier than steel armor having the
same power of resistance.

Lake Champlain In History.

.aE AS0N
Lake Champlatn is n body Of water
Of such restricted importance today
that the program which is being
formulated for a celebration in July
Of the tercentenary Of It's discovery
could we'll be set down Nv the unin-
formed as a somewhat farfetched
proposition. But the lake is a practica-
bic waterway leading from Canada
well toward the headwaters of the
Hudson, and more than once in the
career of the republic 1t has been a
key point OF the war map. Along and
near Its banks and upon its bosom en-
counters took place which materially
affected the fortunes Of the struggling
nation.
In the fall Of 1776 General Benedict
Arnold, returning from his i'll fated
expedition of the year. before to Que
bee. fought a naval battle on Lake
Champlain with such skill as to turn
back to Canada a British army under
General Carleton which was marching
to assail Fort Ticonderoga, then held
by colonials under General Gates.
After the repulse Of Carleton 5000 of
Gates soldiers Joined Washington in
New Jersey. A second and more
formidable British invasion Of New
York was checked by stirring battles
on and near the lake in 1914. This
was the movement of General Provost,
who came down from Canada intend
ing to penetrate the state from the
western shore. He was beaten by
General Macomb's American forces at
Plattsburg, and the same day the a
ships protecting his landing and sup
ply ships were wiped of the lake by
an American squadron under Captain
Macdonough. Provost returned to
Canada. GEORGE l.. KIIMER.

Evolution of the Peacemaker.

Evolution of tho Pencemakef.
. Recently Berlin appraised the wossd
In no uncertain tones that Germany -
interested in the Balkan question. Evi-
IDENTIFY the kaiser has learned through
his little tilt with the public that It -
better by long odds to say q strong
thing occasionally than to keep feed
ing out sensations. In all his utter
apces on international affairs the ge1-
man emperor has been consistent with
the old doctrine Of the realm that q
nation can have peace only when It
can command respect. That was when
Germany saw possible enemies in its
continental neighbors.
Now when the kaiser speaks for
Germany as q world power there is In
his tones the same old ring Of assur-
ance that the nation is strong enough
to command respect Once the power
behind the imperial frown or threat
was a big army. Now it is a big army
plus a big navy. Once the cry Of the
would be peacemaker of Europe was
for a big navy; then. 1t was for q big
ger navy. Now the same lips demand
the biggest navy in order that oil the
world shall respect Germany;s willau1-
mandate. The first martial HOhen-
zollern ransacked the earth for big
soldiers to inspire his neighbors with
fear. The PrussiaM who now aims to
do as Frederick the Great would do Il
he were here wants the biggest navy
In order to command the respect Of
the. world; ards the world must either
take his word for It that he seeks the
general peace or it can keep Ger
many's navy down to second or third
rank.

Moved, seconded and carried
that the following resolution be
adopted:
On this tenth day of April 1909,
being the date set for opening
bids for the purchase of seed
grain bonds and no bids having
been received by the county audi
tor and the board of county COM
missioners being Of the opinion
that the statuary limit of three
thousand dollars, is inadequate to
supply the number of bushels of
grain applied for, and that the ex-
penses Of executing contracts, and
of furnishing seed grain will be
excessive in proportion to the
amount Of grain furnished. and
that any amount of grain which
the county could furnish to each
applicant, will be small and of no
material advantage to the county
at large or to any applicant.
Therefore be it resolved that no
grain be furnished and that each
and every application for seed
grain now on file be rejected,
