But let us look a little into his diagnosis.
Mr.. Walter Rothwel says, speaking OF
Chicago. The musical entertainments"
And he says hat Chicago is enjoying a
revel OF music
Blu Is music a species of entertain
ment," or a n enjoyment to '+revel'' in?
Most ~emphatically not. Here the musi-
cal editor of The Bee distinctly disaRreea
with the teachings of st. Paul. 0hroukh
its conductor, Mr.. RothwelD. Music is
not a pastime, it is not an entertainment.
1t Is not merely an enjoyment to revel In.
1t Is a glorious, God-given, uplifting holy
art, to be studied, to be enjoyed In the
highest Intellectual and spiritual sense,
and not physically "reveIed" in.
Would you speak Of being entertainer
by the wondrous art OF the ''Sistine
Madonna" Of Raphael? No, No! None the
less by the Messiah" Of Handel.
Would you speak OF the coming Mozart
festival at Salzburg as the '~enjoyment of
a revel?" No. MOI No less should you
speak OF enjoying the revel Of symphony
concerts whether in Chicago or in st.
Paul.\
Therein lies the kernel Of the nut. The
tendency Of the average American listener
is>to enjoy, rather than to discriminate:
~NhSg 6NAAo AAAAA " IGd6On. 10 be en-
t~ertained. rather than to be educated in
music.
Discrimination and Discernment are the
two great things lacking in our great pub
lie today.
The question should not be: How much
are the people of Chicago being entertained.
In musical ways?' but rather. How much
are the Chicago people discerning In a
musical way7"
1t is not a question as to how much
there is to feed upon" unsteady. but as
to what is "digested?' There is the crux
OF the whole matter. A couple Of years
ago, one Of the leading critics in America
v rote some very pertinent sentences upon
this subject. HereNis one OF them: 1--WE
are Importing most of our art, and nearly
all of our music. We are deyouring every
thing. Later on we hail feast less, and
Fubsist better. We. shall become epicures
and select with daintier appetites."
ibis eminent critic, who has been watch.
ing husical history, as II is being written
In the United States, longer thar Mr..
Hothwell. has spoken well and wisely
when he stated that 1--WE are devourlne
everything and that later on, TIVE shan
feast less, and subsist better.
And so, again. as TO Mr.. Rothwelps SIM
pie statement, issued In Innocent guiIeless-
ness. namely the wonderful proof OF must,
cal growth afforded by the visits OF Grand
Opera stars in concert and recital. His
diagnosis is not accurate. Fer what COM
munity would turn out IN force. TO hear
these great prima donna people, e their
~rteitals depended strictly on the merits Of
their work and not on their names? The
Irima donna recital is a business affair
pure and simple. Curiosity is far more
powerful thar pure merit. People go
largely out OF curiosity to hear the great"
people, because the names are known. II
this is not true. why does one hear SO fro.

This is the warfare Of the true musician
everywhere, the Battle OF the Standards!
The musical editor Of The Bee knows
nothing Of the performances of the ST.
Paul symphony orchestra, for the simple
reason that he has never heard them; he
takes it for granted that they are good, be-
cause he has noted with pleasure Mr.. Roth
wells work along orchestral lines in other
directions; neither does he know what in
fluence is being exerted in st. Paul to de-
velop things musical. 80 that st. Paul
may be considered a musical center; but he
does know that Mr.. Rothwe is reckless
when he says that America is the most
musical country on EARTH Mr.. Rothwell
is reckIess when he points to the supposed
fact that Chicago is a musical center, as
compared with other cities OF the same
size and significance In Europe.
Mr.. Rothwell is reckless when he dag
noses our musical condition as being the
~healthiest on earth, when a little study Of
the subject would convince him that we
are d~evouring the spurious as hungrily as
the sincere; the merltricious as greedily
as the meritorious; the loathsome as much
as the lovely the trivial as heartily as
the true; the vulgar as freely az the vir-
tuous.
We will continue until We have a bad
case Of nerves or some other mentally
and psychieally digestive disturbance. and
let us beware, lest in the differing Of the
doctors" the patient die!

Furthermore, our people will go by nun
dreds to hear a grand opera star in a song
recital, and pay q good stiff price for their
seats, and ofttimes when they get there
the cupboard is bare of real intrinsic sing

reproved by. any slnging-teacher of ordi-
nary good musical character in his pupils,
and the most atrocious vocal crimes are

But these same people OF ours will be

And even then the musical, the genuine

And just as likely as not these same
dear people Of ours will lend their support
and their Influence to something which is
doing more harm than good to the com
munity, through a perverted Judgment, or
the blind following of a Jealous activity

By All Means.

And now some of the democratic brethren are insisting that Arizona's constitution shall contain Jim Crow" clause-providing for separate cars for negroes on all trains.
 Indeed, why not go the whole hog while we are about it? If we are to have a constitution providing for the initiative and referendum" the ire call," bank guaranty" and every other ism" that has been thought of in bedlam; if we are to frame con- stitution which is foredoomed to re- jection at Washington; if we are to throw away this opportunity to get statehood after devoting our efforts for twenty years to a fight for state hood-why should we not let the tail go with the hide?
 If we are to frame a constitution that is bound to be rejected anyhow, why quibble about loading it down still further with objectionable clauses While we are about it we may as well make a showing to the fullest of our possibilities in the line of radicalism, and let our constitu- tional convention turn out product equal to the broth of Macbeth's Three Witches.
 Bring on the "Jim Crow provision by all means and throw it in with the rest,

A Prayer For Teachers.

In "A Prayer for Teachers" in the American Magazine for August, Wal ter Rauschenbusch, a preacher whose prayers have attracted widespread at tention. makes a plea for the most useful of all laborers:
 We implore thy blessing, O God, on all the men and women who teach the children and youth of our nation. for into their hands we daily commit the dearest that we have. We know that they are the potent friends and helpers of our homes, and that as they make our children, so shall fu- ture years see them. Grant them an abiding consciousness that they are co-workers with Thee, Thou Great Teacher of humanity. and that Thou hast charged them with the holy duty of bringing forth from the budding life of the young the mysterious stores of character and ability which Thou hast hidden in them. Teach them 10 reverence the young lives, clean and plastic. which have newly come from Thee. and to realize that generations stiu unborn shall rue their sloth or rise to higher levels through their wisdom and faithfulness. Gird them for their task with a double meas ure of Thy patience and tranquility with a great fatherly and motherly love for the young, and with special tenderness for the backward and af- flicted Save them from physical eX- haustion, from loneliness and dlscour- agement, from the numbness of rou- tine and from all bitterness of heart.
 We bless Thee for the free and noble spirit that is breathing with auickening power upon the educational fife of our day, and for the men and women of large mind and loving heart who have made that spirit our com mon possession by their teaching and example. But grant that a higher obedience and self-restraint may grow in the new atmosphere of freedom. We remember with gratitude to Thee the gotllv teachers of our own youth, who won our hearts to higher pur- poses by the sacred contaglon or their life. May the strength and beauty of Christ-like service still be plainly wrought in the lives of their successors. that our children may not want for strong models of devout manhood upon whome their characters can be moulded.
 Do Thou reward Thy servants with a glad sense of their own eternal worth as teachers of the race and in the heat of the day do Thou show them the spring by the wayside that flows from the eternal silence of God and gives new light to the eyes of all who drink of Il"

Reforminq the Cigarette.

A convention of ladies representing we happen to forget just what branch of reform they did represent by a unanimous vote decreed the oth- CT day that Mrs. Alice Longworth, daughter of the eX-president. ought to stop smoking cigarettes. The cigarette just now is under the ban of many reformers, and if it can be banished the world will no doubt be better off But there are extremes to which only the most radical reformers as yet-are willing to go. It will probably be a few months before everybody is willing to endorse the Chicago who has discovered that portrait presented to that city's art institute is unfit for public eXhibi- tion because the subject holds be- tween his fingers a cigarette, smoke from which is curling upward in wreath. The good lady has started movement for the suppression of the picture. The New York Tribune with fine sarcasm comments upon the incident:
 Think of the suggestiveness, the potency for evil, the possibility for harm of its influence upon the minds of children, who, of course, never see real one in the hand of living person The member of the commit tee, a mere man, who asked the lady's opinion of the picture had not thought of that, but she pointed it out to him at once. The fate of the paint ing now hangs in the balance.
 The feminine protector of the next generation and censor of the debased and debasing art of the present one was no doubt influenced in her deci- sion by a memory Of the famous cause of the little mite, who wept fit to break her heart because one poor lion in the picture had no early Christian to feast upon. One shud- ders to think of the after life of this innocent child, led, no doubt. into a career of crime by the thOughtless- ness of some hanging committee and the lack of understanding of child philosophy by those who exposed her to such an influence.
 "The censors have now gone beyond the discovery of the immortal teach ing of many of the classics of the nursery and the dubiety of Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" as food for boys. The turn of painting has now come. The cigarette must be painted out and a beginning made of the gradual elimination of the mas terpieces already in our galleries Tn the interest of the next generation. Of course, the Chicago lady will see to it that Ostade and Bega and the other Dutch masters who dared to introduce pipes and beer mugs and wine glasses into their pictures. and even to paint family and village drinking scenes, are no longer allowed to demoraliZe the young. She can not be too thorough while she is at the work of reform"

Tomorrow's Primaries.

In Maricopa county tomorrow pri- maries will be held in all precincts for the election of republican and democratic county conventions respec- lively, which conventions will nomin- ate candidates for the constitutional convention.
 While interest in the constitution it. self is reasonably alert, there is a remarkable lack of party spirit While it is regrettabIe that the can didates must be chosen by the party machine method-it would have been better, from every standpoint, If as many candidates as possible could have been induced to enter the race so that voters might choose the best man regardless of politics-it is in cumbent upon every citizen to do his share in choosing the candidates. The first step is to attend the primaries and vote Under the old rule, 'caucuses" are to be held in the various wards of Phoenix, for nom ination of tickets for the primaries. Sometimes the caucus" results in the selection of a good ticket, and some times it does not The caucus" is not binding upon anybody, and any voter who is dissatisfied with the list of names agreed upon at the caucus is at liberty to vote a ticket of his own choosing at the pri- mary. The one essential thing is that all citizens, republicans and demo- crats. shall turn out tomorrow and vote at the primaries, for the dele gates named at the primaries will select in the county conventions the men between whom you must choose for the constitutional convention.
 So far as the republicans are con- cerned, there has not been manifest ed anywhere any disposition to do fine" work or to "controT things. While there is an excellent chance to elect republicans to the constitu- tional convention, it will be some what difficult, it is to be feared, to persuade nine good men to make the race Everybody wants a good const- tuition, but everybody is willing to leave it to the "other fellow" to look after it

Proaressive Journalism.

During the weeks preceding the Jeffries- Johnson fight, the newspapers conducted by the good Mir. Hearst devoted a large proportion of their space to the subject. Interest in the contest was boomed in every pos sible way In addition to the regular press service, the Hearst papers had long articles by special writers and retired prize fighters every day. boost ing the Jeffries- Johnson game. Dur ing the hour of the fight, the good MT. Hearst's Los Angeles paper still further showed it's opposition to prize fighting by staging the fight for the benefit of a crowd-on an inn provised stage two fighters attempted, under directions of the good MT Hearsts paper, to go through the movements of the Reno fight As soon as the fight was over and there began to be expressions from the public against the exhibition of mo- ton plctureS or lne heho hSHe' '"0 good MT. Hearst's papers took up the campaign against the pictures
 From day to day since then these highly moral journals have preached the iniquity of prize fighting and called upon the authorities every where to suppress the fight pictures.
 The papers conducted by the good Mir. Hearst are typical of the reform newspapers, big and little, with which several sections of the country. in- cluding Arizona, are now infested Having worked one side of the street." they are now working the other side-on the principle of catching them a-going and accom- ing" -..--..

What They Missed.

We should not too severely criticise the makers of our constitution. When everything is taken into consideration, we should admit, rather. that they did very well. Let us remember that they never saw a railroad or a steam boat or an airship; that they never talked over a telephone or sent tel egram; that they never had the pleas ure of being purified by Anthony Comstock, scolded by Teddy Roose- velt, soaked by Carrie Nation, healed by Mrs. Eddy, endowed by Rockefeller or educated by Andrew Carnegie Life.
 All of which is true. And cOnsid- ering, moreover, that our forefathers did not have the benefit of instruc- ton from the expert constitution makers of Arizona, and were without the advantages of association with our self appointed guardians of the public's welfare, they did a very good job, indeed.
