A Milder Salome.

n uxlkQCI
The opening at the Manhattan on
Monday evening, Nov. s, was as full OF
color, sparkle and enthusiasm as any
ever witnessed at the Metropolitan,
with it's famous horseshoe diamond
and all the rest. There was packed
house Notwithstanding the fact that
on the same evening the New theater
was formally opened to the public and
the Metropolitan Opera company start
ed its season at the Academy of Music
In Brooklyn. The opera was Masse-
nets "Herodiade," given for the first
time in America. "Herodiade" is a
milder and less erotic form of the
"Salome" theme which stirred up such
riot in the musical and religious
worlds few years ago. Massenets
Salome is conventional and respectable
compared to the one created by Oscar
Wilde and Strauss. Indeed, she Is al
most perfect lady. For my single

1t lacks. the disgusting scene of slab
boring over the bloody head Of John
the Baptist. In the Manhattan open
ing Salome was sung by Lima Cava-
lier., who gained her triumph last
year in the same house, Herodias by
Nine. Gerville- Reache. Herod by Maui
rice Renaud and John the Baptist by
Charles Dalmores who lent dignity to
the character and dominated the entire
piece.

AS Strauss before gave such boost
to the Hammerstein opera he will be
depended on to do 1t again. Not only
'Elektra," which was European sue

earlier work of Strauss, will also be

mistake, for mistake we must re-
gard it. $1,000 a year is little enough
to pay a man capable Of filling the
presidents chair. a cheaper man
can, Of course, be secured, Many
would consider $500 or even $1,000
good pay. But how about the future
of the college.
1t takes money to buy brains and
when to brains are added executive
ability and learning, the union is
invaluable. President Taylor has all
three. No one who has met him, who
has heard him speak, who has talked
with the members of the faculty, as
sociated with him in his work, can
doubt that he is big man intellectu-
ally. He has shown his executive
ability in what he has done for the
college in the last three years.
We sincerely trust that some way
out of the tangle will be found. The
members of the Board of Education
have the welfare of the college close
to their hearts. They are proud
of their association with it and want
to see it have a prosperous and glori-
Gus future. May they sink all indi-
vidual pride of opinion and meet with
President Taylor in consultation and
see if this cloud on Kentucky Yves
leyan cannot be raised.

LADIES TO PLAY
FINAL GAMES
Of Basket Ball Tournament Which
Has Excited Such In
terest.

The final game Of the young ladies'
basket ball tournament will be played
at the college gymnasium tonight at
Z 80. The feature game will be the
contest between the Red and Yellow
teams to settle the question at to
which five shall occupy third place.
These two teams after having played
out their schedule of twenty five
games, each have won eleven apiece
and lost fourteen and neither being
content with tie, the question will
be settled tonight.
The winning team in the league
Miss Mildred Johnson's Crescents,
will play an exhibition game with the
Greens who ran them a close race
for first place, and this contest prom
Uses to be as close as the other.
The tournament just finished has
been a splendid one from every
standpoint, the season having been
finished out with undated enthus-
iasm. The results in a physical way,
have been more than merely notice
able and the clean eyes, firm poise
and steady nerves of the young la
dies, who have taken part in the work
are a justification of their efforts
and interest.
The game tonight will probably be
the last of the season to which the
public will be admitted. The proceeds
will be devoted to the payment of
the expenses of DIR. Anderson, whose
lecture last Friday was SO highly en-
joyed.

KENTUCKY WESLEYAN.

Winchester is peculiarly interested
in Kentucky Wesleyan College. This
city contributed literally to its es-
adjustment here and responded nobly
when the fire came. The better part
of 100000 has been paid by Clark
county citizens for its upbuilding.
Many families send children to its
halls. When anything happens there
fore which seems in any degree to
injury its efficiency and its future.
we believe we have a right to protest.
President Taylor has made for
himself a place here and has raised
the standard of the college immeasur-
ably. During the last three years,
Kentucky Wesleyan College has taken
well defined position among the in
stitutions of learning in this State.
Before that time, it was little better
than high school. Now it ranks
with the best in its entrance re-
quirements and in the curriculum pre-
scented to its students.
Clark Hall had only fifteen or
eighteen students three years ago;
now its capacity is oyertaxed and
more students are asking for a place
within its walls. When all is said
and done, the test of success in any
institution of learning is the num-
Der it can attract to its halls. True,
this is not the only test or even the
most important. But entrance ex-
aminations being equal, the curricu-
lum the same, the college that secures
the larger attendance is found to
rank above the smaller.
The last three years have been
successful ones in the history of the
institution. There is a fine esprit de
corps among its students. All are
proud to be entered on its books. The
State at large is beginning to take
notice that there is such college
at Winchester. And as the years roll
on, the work that is being done now,
will tell more and more toward its
prosperity and growth.
1t seems shame to us that the
pitiable sum of 500 should stand be-
tween the keeping or the loss of the
president who bias done these things.
When we attended college, the en-
rollment was about $50 and the pay
of the president of our alma mater
was $4,000 year. In little over
twenty years the students within
those walls have swelled to over f.
UUO and the head of the university is
paid $4,000 year, given house
and its keep. Who is the cheaper

 Countess Szechenyi was formerly Miss Gladys Vanderbilt. Since her marriage early last year she and the Count have been living on the Counts 8 estate near here but this place has never suited the Countess. It is rath- CT inaccessible and lacks many mod ern improvements. The new home of the Sxechenyis will be made one of the potablA planes ip Hungary.

HAS THE EYE OF AN OPTiMiST.

Progress is still the order of the
day in industrial circles declares Henry
Clews, and many of our manufacture
ing plants are now running at or near
their full capacity. The press of orders
for railroad and other constructive work
have been so urgent that the steel
trade continues particularly active; the
output of pig iron during the first
half of the current year having been
100000 tons, compared with $780,
900 tons during the same time in
1908. This does not show full re-
sumption of old time activity, but
the result for the past six months GER
tainly indicates most gratifying re-
cuperation.
The great textile interests of the
country are also in a very satisfactory
condition. Owing to the extensive cur
tailment of production which prevailed
last year after the panic, there are few
signs of oversupply in any direction;
in fact, scarcity is the rule. Prices are
high, too high in some particulars, be-
cause consumption is being visibly re-
strained thereby; yet there is a gem
eral absence of speculation in the tex
tile trades, and large distribution of
fabricks is confidently anticipated dur
ing the balance of the year.
In other departments of trade and
industry the outlook is also favorable.
Production is rapidly regaining normal
proportions; labor is generally well en-
plOyed and complaints are few. The
country continues, of course, upon a
high level basis, and there are no in
dications of any early change in this
respect, for the simple reason that,
speaking in general terms, supply has
not yet exceeded demands and the in
fiationary effect of cheap money is be-
coming, more and more evident. Clews
views the future with the eye of an
optimist.
