ADJUSTMENTS

Ihcatcr-One more Salt Lake man
aSer inst night learned the lesson
which was burnt in on so many others
years ago, that Salt Lake is one of
the worst of cities for purely artistic
musical recitals. Mr.. Berkhoe had
hoped that the combined strength of
the names of Woodmansec, the pianist,
and Miss Jcppcrson. the contralto,
would draw an audience. but last
nights gathering showed simply the
old melancholy result. and dcmon-
strated once more that To make a sue
cess Of a recital in Salt Lake, tickets
must be sold by subscription in adj
vance.
The poor turnout was all the more
rcgrettnble, because the entertainment
was of the highest class. Mr.. Wood
mansee's standing as Il musician was
well evidenced by the number of our
leading piano teachers who were in the
audience; but few Of them were miss

great variety of numbers. In render
Ing the list he showed himself the un-
doubted artist he Is, though 1t was
plain to see that the size of the au-
dience affected his spirits. He was
heartily applauded for every number
he gave but yielded no encores. His
grace and tenderness OF conception
bers as the Chopin Nocturne, and
his brilliance of execution was at its
best In the PoionaIsc and Etude. The
Mcdowell numbers were also given
with fine feeling and effect.
The assisting artist. Miss Jepperson,
has the sort of voice whose first notes
cause an audience to settle back in
its seats and say to itself, "this is the
voice we've been waiting for" full.
an t-nlt IA
has an excellent range, and her high
notes are full of the dramatic quail
ity. She sang several difficult
numbers with rare feeling and ex-
preston. and the audience applauded
her most heartily. but she also declined
to yield to cncores. The Aria" from
Joan of Arc" was exccllently sung.
and her absolutely true tone was evil

cal association elected the following Of
Omaha daily bee., 1910-12-20
There Are Others.

In view Of the glee with which some
of our rural contemporaries have per
sistently held up Omaha as a hideous
object lesson OF vicious deviltry and
reckless lawlesspess. we are surprised
and almost shocked to read the fol-
lowing in a newspaper published in a
nearby town:
Blair can and will stand for n more Wig
orous enforcement OF the law against
gambling. not only with poker decks but
with the dice box, the selling Of chances
on articles Of merchandise etc. These
things are being done in Blair openly
and VIGOROUSLY" and no one knows II
better than our mayor, yet nothing is
done
Holy horrors, Is it possible that
the good town of Blair should tamely
submit to open and notorious" out
lawry? Omaha has been the target
for some rather caustic comment
emanating from Blair, and some other
towns, where it is reasonable to sup
pose similar terrible conditions exist,
and the mote in Omaha's eye seems
to have obscured all vision of the beam
at home.
In a nutshell, human nature seems
to be pretty much the same every
where. If more difficulty is encoun-
tered in the strict enforcement of laws
against gambling and for the suppress
sion of vice and the regulation of the
liquor traffic in big cities than in small
towns. it is because population is there
concentrated and the temptations and
the opportunities for law-evasion in
creased by that very fact.

The Patient Postman.

Patience is a lesson the spirit of
Christmas ought to teach. Yet it
seems a hard one to learn, or learned,
to practice at this particular time Of
the year. When Christmas morning
comes round and your postman fails to
bring you the gift you "just know"
you are going to get you are not in
clined to be very sweet tempered and it
is not highly improbable that you let
the postman know it. OF course it is
not the fault of the postman. He car
ried, probably, as big load as his
physical frame could support. And
he has been doing the same thing for
several days. He is likely to be a
very tired man and not in the mood
to be impatientiy dealt with for some
thing he could not possibly help.
The fault in all probability, lies
with the sender of the article at the
other end of the line. He or she. as
the case may be, had thoroughly good
intentions about getting the present on
time, but just did not mail 1t until
Christmas eve or the day before, and,
of course, that was not soon enough
to insure speedy delivery. Thousands
and thousands of other articles we're
mailed just that way and, as a result,
the postofices at the sending and re-
ceiving ends of the line are congested
and every man inside and out is work
ing his hardest to deliver the goods.
So when you awake on the bright,
merry Christmas morning, save one lit
tie smile for the postman. Surprise
him. Instead of meeting him with
the customary complaint at not bring
ing more, thank him for bringing as
much as he did and see how much
that will take from his load.

0klahoma's New Capital.

The Oklahoma legislature has
passed the bill removing the state cap
itol from Guthrie to Oklahoma City
by a large majority with the emer-
gency clause attached, but it is still
a question just how much of victory
this is for Governor Haskell, since the
new site for which he was so ener-
getically laboring was not the one Sc
lected. From a sentimental stand
point, of course. the removal means
much to Governor Haskell, for he has
deep-seated hatred for Guthrie, but
from a practical standpoint it may be
different.
Governor Haskell did not accept the
compromise, either, until he was con-
WINGED by other powers that the whole
plan of removal would be defeated If
any attempt were made to change the
location as fixed in the bill. The. land
the governor wanted selected for the
capitol site lay some six miles from
the business heart of Oklahoma City
while the accepted site is mile and
half away. Evidently Oklahoma City
since it went into the fight, meant
to be really the capital. 1t probably
is more to the credit of this city that
it won the contest this way than II
would have been had the bill gone
through with the other site.
Guthrie undoubtedly sustains a Sc.
we're blow in the loss of the capital
For years it promised to become the
metropolis of Oklahoma, just as it was
the center OF the great boom move
ment, but with the sudden growth OF
Oklahoma City it soon began to take
back seat, and now its hope of over
taking the larger city seems to have
gone glimmering in the wake of this
struggle. 1t means much for Guthrie
therefore, just as it will mean much
on the other hand, for oklahomG
City, for, while state capitals are, a!
rule, not very potent business cen
tiers, in the case of a new state like
Oklahoma, 1t will be of great advan
tage to have the official headquarter
in the same town with the larger
business interests. And it is general!
understood that the larger business in
terests have brought this about.
