Surrounding Him

"When a question is up" says Nominee Wood
row Wilson, 81 listen to all the arguments and then
argue it in nay own mind. !"
We imagine that these few words describe MT
Wilson's character pretty thoroughly, and why ISM
his plan pretty good one for all of us who haven't
such big thing as the presidency staring us In the
face but who are apt to decide our little personal
propositions on impulse and without analysis OF
facts and conditions9
1T means to think before we act but most OF us
pass upon the small Details which really go to make
up life without consideration of circumstances or
results "A fellow, maybe person whom we dearly
love- says something that we do not like, and we at
once try to give him worse than he sent. BUS
iness associate seems to take advantage OF u.s.
and we resolve to clay for him. ever after Things
90 wrong in our house, and instead OF trying to set
them right, we storm and cuss. Nothing is much
truer than the saying that most of troubles never
happen YET we forget that life is pretty much all
contention and that the best way to contend with
things or people is with calmness and sense.
The fellow who hears all the arguments, chews
them over in his mind and then decides as conscience
Dictates feels satisfied if he sometimes has to
feel uncomfortable
Undoubtedly, Mr.. Wilson will make mistakes, for
the Lord never made mere man perfect that he
was above making mistakes, but Mr.. Wilson will
know that he decided in accord with what he be-
leved to be the right and the fellow who does that
can afford to let the selfish crowd which surrounds
him feel dissatisfied.
WITH taxes on tidelands of $4,000 year no
wonder Jim Ashton warts something to break quick
to let him get the flats off his hands.

Isaac ought to know. For Isaac

band he is.

union
Whereupon, to the intense sur.
prise and dismay Of the must
clans, the managers merely re-
piled, "Oh, very well"
1t did not take the union lead
ers long to see that their posi-
ton was not quite what they had
thought 1t was, and to make over
lures (entirely unintentional
joke) for a compromise.
A compromise will probably be
reached, but the managers have
got bee in their bonnets just
the same, and it may some day
sting the music makers.
David Belasco has had no or
chestra in his local theaters for
several seasons. He cut out the
music after trouble with the
union, and asserts that his pat
rons do not complain of the lack
of Instrumental entertainment.
AS the omission saves Mr.. Be-
lasco quite little money, there
is not much likelihood of the
musicians getting back into his
houses.
William Hammerstein has
hurled defiance at the union in
the present strained situation by
engaging for the Victoria roof a
women's orchestra that does not
belong to any union, and the
Gaiety theater has installed some
kind of a foreign contraption in
tho nature IF on automatic mr.
chestra, looking like huge
player-piano, and having violins
and other instruments inside 1t.

New loRk LETTER N asa

NEW YORK, July 5.-Why is
a theater orchestra?
Perhaps this question has
never occurred to you: Probably
1t never has to most people. All
our theater-going lives we have
listened to the overture as some
thing which had to precede the
rising of the curtain, to the be-
tween-acts excerpts from the lat
est musical shows as a relief
from the chatter of our neigh
bors, and to the final selection as
something which makes the slow
crawl up the aisle a trifle less
tedious.
But do people really care to be
unsteady entertained, or assault
ed, as the case may be, before
the curtain goes up, between the
acts, and while they are leaving :?
Theater managers have for UNI
numbered years taken it for
granted that they do. But with
in the past few days the question
has been raised in New York in
way which has caused the
showmen to do some thinking,
and which may lead to a trial of
orchestraless theaters In this
city.
The musicians union has been
gradually increasing the cost of
orchestra music by raising the
scale of wages, and its latest de-
mand, recently presented, touch
ed new high-water mark. The
theater managers got together
and rejected the scale.

To throw cards Is not hard. It's
the know how" that counts.
Hold the card between the mid
die finger and thumb of the right
hand, the index finger resting
AGAINST the edge, near the corner.
Throw the card into the air with
a smart jerk. AS it leaves the
hand the forefinger should impart
a very high rotary movement.
