Stage Realism.

At one of theaters in New
York the success Of the piece
which has been running during
the last six months is due to
the efforts of a number of
ROSTERS. The stage is dark
when the curtain is raised.
Gradually the lights are turned
on, showing a barn yard, with
chickens on their roost. The
accommoda ting ROSTERS, think
ing daylight is breaking, begin
to crow Justify, and the audience
enthusiastically applauds, pro.
nouncing it a triumph of real

The American Boy

Some.investigator published
q statement a short time ago to
the effect that it was boys who
fought the civil war, the aver
age age Of the enlisted men be-
ing somewhat under twenty
years. So the boys saved the
union. In recent years the
boys have been teaching farm
ers how to raise corn. A Con-
necticut boy, N. H. Brewer
won the highest prize three
years ago at the national corn
show by raising 1873 bushels to
the acre on the so-called worn
out lands of Connecticut. An
other boy, P. P. Davis, in Mas
sachusetts beat that record by
raising 104 bushels Of corn af-
ter it was perfectly dried out,
to the acre. Another boy down
in North Carolina beat all rec
ords by raising more than 200
bushels to the acre.
It therefore appears that the

Now You See 1t and Now You
Don't

The contest between the vets |
and drys in Maine is so even
that it is hard TO determine
whether that state is wet 'r|
dry. 1t is strange to thirk
that a state that has had the
a'vsn ape Of prohibition for so
rn-,ny >..ars would 60 back to
IT, y ate of intoxicants again.
A.. 'aer thing is peculiar, and
IT,. 4. that thu city vote is for
i,,,.m,erance. Why the people
in 4. vns and cities should de.
sic. Y, sale Of liquor is pecn-
l'ar. Lntoxication is the s'ane
Of society and has bee, the
ruin Of more men than all otl' r
causes combined, and ha. not
one argument in favor Of its
use. 1t Is the enemy of relig-
ion, morality and good govern
ment, and offers to the young,
more temptations to do wrong
than all other causes. and has
not one redeeming quality to
recommend it to the public.
Why q state that has been the
leader in the temperance cause
should, after years Of trial, go
back to drunkenness and sale of
intoxicants is a wonder. Its
use has wrecked families,
caused want and misery to
mothers and children, and pow
erty to men, caused the best of
men to become criminals and
prison convicts, and has never
assisted in improvements or the
elevation Of society but has al.
ways been a curse:and a night
mare on the home and the state
We hope when the final vote is
counted:it will be found thai
Maine is yet on the side OF
honor and humanity.

What Is Artistic Temperament

Paderewski is said to have
displayed philosophic calm dur.
ing the fire that destroyed the
building on his fancy poultry
farm, and the unkind explana-
tion is given that the greater
financial interest in the place is
held by Nine. Paderewski!
But why should an artist not
be as self-controlled as the next
man in a crisis not related to
his art? There is no mystery,
necessarily, in the fact of a

violin. The artistic tempera-

Of sensitiveness, but where its
particular sphere is not con-

less capable Of calmness than
the more ordinary type. Most

MILK AT COST FROM STRAUS
LABORATORY.

Speaking in very general terms, per-
haps no great charity has ever been
received with so little appreciation
where it should have been most valued
as the Nathan Straus milk labora-
tories. His purely disinterested efforts
to provide pure milk and thus reduce
the frightful defamation caused by in
FAINT mortality have often been met,
not only with GOODNESS, but with cap
tious criticism. 1t would be at once
wise and a graceful thing if Con-
gress should authorize the Government
TO accept the laboratory, to be operated
by the Public Health and Marine Hos
pital Service for demonstrating the
utility of infants milk depots as an
agent in the reduction of infant NOR
tality, and should furthermore pro-
vide, to certain extent. for the
distribution of milk among the deserv-
ing of the District at a nominal
charge. 1t would entail but a trifin2
cost upon the Government. and it
would bring relief Ito hundreds of
families who stand in great need of it
at times.

MIR. TAWNEY'S INTERESTING
EXPLANATION.

Chairman Tawney's explanation of
the rejection of the Great Falls item
by the House Appropriations Commit
tee is one of the most interesting bits
of verbiage that has been produced at
the Capitol this winter. Mr.. Tawney
himself, apparently, opposed the ap-
preparation of $4,000, desired for as
certaining definitely whether Potomac
river power could be used for public
lighting in Washington. Intercepted
by a representative of The Times for
an explanation of his committees ac-
ton, Mr.. Tawney said:
The committee evidently considered
that the District was going into the
manufacturing business too rapidly.
As / understand it, unofficially, the
project Ohe Great Falls power scheme)
has been investigated by some of the
best engineers in the country to ascer-
tain whether there would be any profit
in the utilization of this power, and
will show that there is not sufficient
water TO make possible the production
of the necessary current, the utilization
of which is necessary to the economical
operation Of the plant.
Both these points made by Mr.. Taw-
ney are intensely interesting. His
alarm at the rapidity with which the
District is going into the manufactur-
ing business deserves especial atten-
ton, in view of the fact the Districts
tendencies in this direction are limited
to the construction of reformatory
by the labor of prisoners and to the
municipal operation of an asphalt
plant which will permit the Commits
sioners to repair paving and build 6
few roads.
Of greater interest is Mr.. Tawney':
assumption that the Great Falls ap
preparation would be useless because
"the project has been investigated by
some of the best engineers in the
country" whose report will show that
there is not sufficient water to make
possible the production of the neces
sary (electricl current"
So far as The Times is aware thu
chief of engineers of the United States
army, the chief photographer of the
Geological Survey, and engineers en-
ployed by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company are the only
The Washington times., 1911-01-22

experts who have investigated Great
Falls in recent years.
The Government officers declare the
development and use of the power
feasible, so it is safe to presume Mr.
Tawney did not draw his conclusions
from their reports.
ID 1t would be interesting to know
whether he drew them from the re
ports of employees of the concern that
now does the public lighting for Wash,
ington-by contract-and that would
be the only interest of the District op,
posed to the use of Great Falls power
for lighting streets, parks, and public
buildings.

TAMPERING WITH CHEESE
OF LIMBURG.

The iourneymen cheese-founders and
butter mongers of the Middle West
recently assembled, with no particular
relevancy, in Wisconsin's great maltic
center to discuss the secrets of their
guild. The public has caught a Whit
of one of the subjects under considera-
tion, and, seeing that this was the
making of limburger, it is not aston
fishing that it should have betrayed
Itself. For the first time it leaks out
that these alleged children of the
Fatherland have been trying to de-
odorize the casein product which has
passed into what Edmund Burke
called "the ripened fruit of wise de-
lay" They have pretended to all the
exaltation of a dancing dervish when
they could catch the scent of a few
appetizing crumbs which, by reason
of strength, had outrun the health
department. They have inveigled
women and children within the circle
of their influence. They have bred a
real taste for it in men of refinement.
And now, just when every gourmet
has learned to love the vigorous odor
and gamy flavor we discover that the
cheese mongers themselves have been
trying to rob the limburger of its
peculiar fragrance.
1t is a positive pleasure to record
that they have failed. Those whose
timid palates have passed, through
beer and olives to the robust strength
of limburger would be saddened by
establishment. The cheese of Linn
burg has become as staple as the
steak of Hamburg. 1t has rocked the
cradle of some of our greatest Anglo,
German citizens. 1t has served as a
monitor. of~our fral mortality. 1t has
