have still the best city in the country.
We have the kind of men who will
not falter when they stand in steady
line and march with heads erect.
Quincy is going through period Of
its creates. trouble. The men OF
Quincy are being tested to find the
stuff of which they are made. Not in
the hour of gladness and festivity Is
mans true greatness exemplified. Not
in times of prosperity does COM
munity have the opportunity to show
its strength and establishment. Men
OF Quincy, let us remember the sad
times of business panic when all
about us cities tottered and their
business institutions fell to the
ground Yet Quincy stood unmoved.
When Quincy men needed to show
their character and nerve they have
never failed.
And SO, though the day be clouded,
though our various troubles at the
present time are causing US deep
anxiety, though OuF uSdElS, uruoAAy
light and CHEEKY, are hevay and our
counsenances downcast, let us, every
one of us. you and and every man
in Quincy, stand up like man, like
loyal Quincyan. Let us resolve
that from our troubles there shall
come happiness, from our sorrows
there shall come joys. Capital must
be reinyested, men and women must
be re-employed. business must be re
established.

4THEATER WAR" AND THE
PUBL &c.

Theatrical managers who are little
short OF being theatrical monopolists
In the United States confess openly
that theatrical business in this coun-
try during the last five years has tend
ed toward decentralization. because, as
they allege, OF division ofis inter
ests, which prevents the monopoly
from becoming complete. It Is now
announced that representative of
one OF the controlling combinations
has hit upon a plan which, II carried
out. will mean the cooperation Of all
the contending monopolistic interests
A striking feature Of this announce
ment, and OF such comments upon It
as have been made, is the purely
commercial tone underlying, the en-
tire matter. The theatrical situation
is considered wholly from a business
point Of view. THERE'S no reference
to anything save the business side of
the subjest. The question given
prominence and exclusive treatment
is whether or not certain groups of
managers now monopolizing certain
circuits. districts and houses shall
come to terms, SO that there shall he
Ia real, nationwide theatrical trust.
says tho Christian Science Monitor.
The principals might as well be
talking of steel, or lumber. or machin-
cry. or oil, or produce. or electric
supplies. or any other commodities
associated In the public thought with
modern big business. The point is
commercial control, commercial man
agement, commercial manipulation Of
the public taste for theatricals. Even
when the playwrights are brought in
to the discussion, the commercial and
not the artistic side OF their work Is
given prominence. So it is also with
the actors. Under the managers
agreement they would have more
permanent employment, greater
stability in their positions, better as
surance Of their salaries on pay day
Everything is leveled down to pure
ly business basis.
Is this the process by which the
American drama is to be improved,
uplifted. made to do the tremendous
educational work that lies within the
possibilities OF the theater? Is the
American drama to be handled as the
sugar trust, the harvester trust, the
bathtub trust-on a basis simply of
gross and net earnings and dividends
or are creation and production
the intellectual and cultural, the liter
airy and artistic, phases OF the drama
Ito be liberated from the sitting
clutches of commercialism? Is not
this an opportune time to consider
whether public education. public taste
and public morals as they are in
fiuenced and affected by the theater
shall be made paramount In this
country to the interests OF investors
and SPECTATORS.

The little old. old lady
Sits all the long day there
Beside her little window
In her low rocking chair.
The clicking OF her needles
Is all the sound hear,
And only memory's music
Is ringing in her ear.
The little old, old lady,
That the children come to see.
And kiss her thin, wan fingers,
And climb upon her knee.
] think she must have wandered
From some old garden here
When lavender and tansy
And quaint herbs and queer
Bloomed in my lady's bower,
And violet in her hair
The little old, old lady
In her old, old rocking chair,
Sometimes she may be singing,
/ do not know, for then
In paths Of golden memory
She goeth forth again.
The little old, old lady
Has ringlets white as snow,
And through her room the children
Like rosebuds come and go.
And now and then she calls one,
And they climb on her knee,
And what dear sight. darling,
That picture is to see.

So gentle. sweet and fair.
