BE FAIR.

Some of our republican contem.
poraries are Selling upon Governor
Eberhart's visit to the fire zone to
make political capital out of it. One
of them, the Mankato Free Press,
says: while James Gray is harangu-
ing the people, Governor Eberhart is
giving aid to the homeless in the fire
district"
The Free Press inference is that
the democratic candidate places
politics above desire to offer aid to
the sufferers. It must be remem ber-
ed that Mr.. Gray is private citizen
while Mr.. Eberhart is at the head of
the state. Mr.. Eberhart's efforts in
behalf of the fire victims deserve the
admiration which they have received,
but it is reasonable to presume that
if Mr.. Gray were governor he would,
under like circumstances, do as
much.
There are enough convincing argu-
ments to be used against the demo-
cratic leader without attempting to
grab votes by so crude an effort.

The Dear Old Frauds.

Those old. pleasant. innocent frauds
of the circus are not practiced now
the imposing five barred gates that as
the horse approached them were slop-
ed into insignificant wattles and the
rings through which the signorina pur
ported to leap, but which in reality
were insinuated over her by compliant
attendants. And then there was that
venerable jockey performance, the cul-
mination of which was leap from the
ring to standing position, albeit at
an angle Of thirty degrees, on the
horses back. In the old circuses it
was the custom Of the horseman to
miss the browning jump two or three
times in order that fiercer fame of
interest might be kindled in the audi

The Unreality of Opera.

There are people who still complain
of the unreality of opera, who cannot
subject themselves to its illusion. And
indeed the illusion of opera breaks
down If everything in it is not kept at
the same distance from reality. In
that world Of musical expression we
must never be suddenly lowered by
any homogeneous detail into the ordi-
nary world of prose. Realism. the at
tempt to work upon the emotions by
complete illusion of reality, is disas-
trous in opera. If the scene is q rail-
way station we remember at once that
people do not sing when they are
