OPERATIC SINGERS OVERPAID IN
AMERICA.

Now that the grand opera has come
South, if only for six performances,
and Americas has been well represent
ed at its initial season, we all feel
more or less interested in matters per-
tanning to it and can enter sympathet-
ically into the circumstances that are
going up against the fabulous,
absurdly fabulous, prices that are paid
to the chief artists of such organiza-
lions.
The feeling is growing stronger that
to pay this singer or that songstress
$1,000, $4,000 or $1,000 to sing at one
single presentation of an opera is
exceeding the limit of common sense
and the limit of .reasonctle values.
Nowhere abroad, it is said, do these
singers receive anything like the sums
paid them in America. If the tariff
were put down they would probably be
just as eager to come after the Amer
lean money. 1t is not the artistic i'm
pulse that draws-them here, it is sim
ply the fact that money can be made
here. But America bids too high and
the price should come down. With
more reasonable salaries attached it
would be possible to bring such organ
izations to the South every season, to
sing in more than one city. Prohibitive
prices keep them away, or have here
tofore kept them away.
Discussing Hammerstein's recent
withdrawal from the field of grand
opera the Baltimore Sun says:
America has been paying from two
to three times as much for her opera
as Italy, France or Germany. We inn
port our prima donnas and tenors, and
get our barftones abroad. We demand
the best, and we pay prices that stag
ger the economical Europeans The
contest between the Metropolitan OPP
era Company and Hammerstein to SCI
cure singers has driven the prices paid
them to absurd figures. Song birds are
rare, but that does not justify paying
Tettrazzini s150,000 a season. Caruso
could not command in Italy third of

LESS CRIME UNDER COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT.

George Kibbe Turner, in describing
the experiences of Des Moines with
commission government, in the May
McClure's says:
The result CT this change has been
a very marked advance in civilization.
The city doctors at the police station
estimate that the amount of police sur
gerry made necessary by murders, as
saults, and suicides has decreased to
a small percentage Of what it was (not
over ten per cent, one doctor says
when the Red Light district continu-
ally sent in its stream of cases. The
streets are more orderly; trouble with
Government soldiers stationed at the
post below the city, which formerly
caused recurrent agitation for the
forts removal, has been stopped; and
the amount of general crime has
noticeably decreased.
Lawrence De Graft, the coGntys
prosecuting attorney until the begin
ming of this year, and since then judge
in charge OF the criminal session of
the district courk states that the an.
nual business in that court decreased
a full third almost Immediately upon
the closing of the Red Light district.

are friends or parasites of these vic
ious women have left the town The

tween Kansas City, found the Red

ALL ARE GETTING READY TO
KICK

Soon tie howl Of lamentation win
be heard throughout the land. One
long universal howl Of disgust, disap-
pointment, chagrin and anger will
reach to Halley's planet and disorgan-
lie the atoms Of which it is said to be
composed Then the kicking will be-
gin, kicking such as even this land Of
lusty, muscular and unabashed kick
ers has never before known
TIL ecensus Of the cities has closed.
The reports are going on to Washing
ton. The counting machines will be
put to work And in few weeks IN
Gle Sam will begin to tell the
ambitious and jealous towns Of the
country how many people the enumer-
ators found within their borders.
Talk about the wailing, the weeping,
the crashing Of teeth that the proph-
cts refer to, talk about the sack cloth
and ashes. They won't be anywhere
near available as comparison. Hair
rending and heart rending is just
ahead. Shattered hopes, ruined aspi-
rations, disappointed claims, boastfm
utterances put to fight-in fancy we
can see it all.
Georgia cities will be no exception
to the rule. In the papers of the vari-
GUS cities we can already see the
girding Of the loins, the preparation
for the fight with facts that is just
ahead. Already there are claims that
thousands have been overlooked, that
the government has failed, utterly
failed to get the count correctly. The.
editorial wrath is ready to hurl thun-
derbolts at the census as soon as it Is
announced.
Atlanta has been claimed anywhere
from 125,000 to 10000. Perhaps it
viii get 10000. Savannah has been
talking Of $4,000 to $4,000. Perhaps it
will get $1,000 to 10000. Macon talks
gllbly of $4,000 to $4,000. We hate to
think of its disappointment. Columb IS
has proudly swung $4,000 to 10000 to
the breeze. What fall was there my
countrymen. Augusta, counting the
fishes in the canal, has perched on a
pedestal in its imagination that will
make the fall all the harder to bear.
And as for the smaller cities, Bruins
wick, Valdosta, Albany-and even Am
ericus-we fairly shudder as we con-
template the picture of grief, of ang-
uish, of utter detection Let us draw
the veil kindly over it. And let us b.
thankful that in another year we can
all make claims again and for nine
years thereafter be happy in our self
complacent deceit. In the midst of our
anguish let US think of the good times
ahead and even when we are cussing
the census don't let us fail to remem-
Der that it is still our constitutional
prerogative to claim, and claim, and
claim again.

KEEP THEM OUT OF THE LODGE

Don't bring them into the lodge room.
Anger and spite and pride,
Drop at the gaze Of the temple
The strife Of the world outside;
Forget all your cares and trials,
FORGET every selfish sorrow,
And remember the cause you met for
And haste. we, the glad tomorrow
Drc1 at the gate Of the temple
Envy and spite and gloom,
Don't bring personal quarrels
And discOrd into the room.
Forget the sights Of another,
Forget the wrongs Of a brother,
And remember the new commandment
That ye love one another.
Bring your heart into the lodge room
But leave yourself outside
That is your personal feelings,
Ambition, vanity, pride,
Center each thought and power
On the cause for which you assemble
Fetter the demon discord
And make We the monster tremble.
Az, to fetter and chain him,
And cast him under your feet
That is the end we aim at,
The object for which we meet.
Then don't bring into the lodge room
Envy or strife or pride,
Or aught that viii mar our union,
But leave them all outside.

control of opera by a single organize
ton should result in a readjustment CT
salaries, putting opera on a sane bus
mess basis. This should not only pre-
vent a large annual deficit, but should
enable the managers to provide many

Independence Day Money.

The more money the people give to
the committee in charge of the local
Fourth of July celebration the better
the program, and the more entertain
ment afforded. The committee has been
enabled to arrange series OF events
and diversions commensurate with the
occasion only by virtue of the willing
ness of bandsmen and others to con-
tribute services free on the Fourth. This
should rot have been necessary. Wash
in.ton is able TO pay its way in such
a matter, and every dollar of the money
needed to provide an adequate lndepend-
ence day celebration should be forth
coming The giving of this money should
be regarded as civic duty
Tens of thousands Of small children
Will be furnished with amusement on the
Fourth as result OF the endeavors Of
the citizens committee. They will be
out OF mischief during the hours which
formerly were fraught with danger. The
parents OF these children should con-
slider that they owe something in ex-
change for this immunity. 1t is their
outy as parents to give as well as in
their capacity of citizens, and the fact
that the fund has almost been raised
through The liberality of others does NOT
excuse any who have not yet gwen
There need be no fear of graft or waste
I. any money is left over when ali the
bills are paid it will be held as trust
fund TO defray in part next years ex-
penses on independence day. No one
should therefore hesitate about giving
now because his dollar may not be ac-
tuaIly needed. Every dollar is needed
TOW or later.
