FRENCH ACTRESSES

crises are almost weekly occurrences
during the season. One more lady,
Mademoiselle Geniat, has fed from
the Franchise because she thinks she
can find more scope for her wings else
where, and for nine days the boule-
wards are in a ferment. The excite
ment dies down only when some blunt
person points out that it is not really
matter of life and death for the
world whether Mademoiselle Geniat
stays at the Franchise or leaves it.
The actor and actress never were so
much in the limelight as they are to-
day here. The crises of the Coincide
Franchise, every time they happen,
take precedence of world politics as a
matter of course. They are all due to

one simple fact All may expect to
climb to the top of the tree in time and
with fair amount of talent, but none
can expect to rush up to the summit in
a year or two. The societaires of the
Franchise accordingly feel much pity
for themselves, because, however
world-famous they may become, they
can never make more than $4,000 or
$4,000 a year. The profits on last
year for each societaire will amount to
about $4250, which will be more than
doubled by various extra fees 1t is
certain enough that an actor like NJ
Mounet-Sully would make twice as
much easily at any other theater if
he left the Franchise, but there are, on
the other hand, a dozen actors and
actresses at the Franchise who would
not make a quarter elsewhere of what
they draw now, even supposing they
could get engagements and were not
already superannuated.

CROSS OF HONOR FOR

PARIS, Feb. 22.-Baroness James de

was largely the result of her generous

A PREPosTERoUs SCHEME.

Reports emanating out of Boise are
to the effect that quiet movement
has been inaugurated by the CONNER
cial organizations of that and other
southern cities to move the UNIVERSE
ty of Idaho from Moscow to Boise
says the Wallace Press-Times. Those
at the back of the movement hope to
secure the cooperation of the south
eastern section of the state in this
movement by allowing the agricultural
department to be severed from the
university proper and state agricul-
tural college established at Twin Falls.
1t is reported that a part of the
scheme is to have the bill now pending
in the legislature proposing the estab-
lishment of an agricultural college at
Twin Falls pass the legislature.
Any such political schemes should
be defeated promptly and the promot-
ers given to understand that such a
move would not be considered. The
University of Idaho is a state institu-
ton, built by the people of the state.
The school has been established at
much expense; the appropriations for
maintenance and extension have
reached over the million mark. To
duplicate the university at Boise would
require the same amount of money
again. The taxpayers of the state |
have some right to be considered In |
such matter, but doubtless they are !
being overlooked by the scheming |
politicians who would make the state
institution catspaw wherewith to
serve their own ambition.
Let us hope that the report has been
exaggerated; that the contemplated
movement has not the definite and
concrete form which dispatches would
Indicate But in all events let us pre-
pare to furnish opposition of nature
not to be overcome, should the move
ment appear to be all that it is rep

NO MORE RAILROAD STRIKES.

A bill amending the Erdman act and
overcoming some of its defects was
introduced last week in both houses
of Congress. The importance of the
matter is indicated. says the Survey,
in the fact that twice within the last
year the whole eastern section of the
United States has been threatened by
railroad strike. and now the same
cloud is looming up again, for the
conductors and trainmen in the east
ern section are taking a strike vote.
In the engineers controversy the
railroads declared that an arbitration
board of three, as the Erdman act
provides. was inadequate. According
ly, an arbitration board of seven mem
bers was finally agreed upon. Five
were selected as impartial representa-
tives of the public, and only two rep
resented the parties to the controver-
sx. The result was unsatisfactory to
the employees. Accordingly, when the
LOGON olive firemen came into conflict
with the railroads, they insisted upon
an arbitration board of three, as pro-
vided by the act. So bitterly did the
railroads oppose this proposition, and
SO persistently did the employees stick
to 1t. that a strike was only a few
hours off when the railroads finally
capitulated.
A second important defect in the
Erdman act is that it provides for no
official whose sole duty it shall be to
attend to the matter of railroad con-
troversieS.
1t is to meet these two difficulties
| especially that the new bill is designed.
1t provides for a commissioner of
! mediation and conciliation who, with
two other officers of the government,

for arbitration when desired by a
board of six instead of three; two to

two by the employees and two by the

1t is significant that the railroads

are giving it their united support. 1t
is this fact that has led officers of the

EVENING CHAT
When a Bargain Is Not a Bargain.
III RUTR CAMERON.

When a Bargain Is Not a Bargain.
Once upon a time a prospective
bride and groom went house hunting.
They knew just about what they
wanted, and they knew Just exactly
what they could afford to pay for it.
AS usual, it was very difficult to rec
oncfle the two.
The end of the campaign found
them with three apartments under
consideration. Two of these were for
they could afford-$30 q month. The
third rented for $37. Of course the
first two didn't exactly suit, and the
third was just what they wanted.
They debated long over the question,
and finally decided to take the third.
And this was the consideration on
which they based their decision: THE
$37 apartment is so much better value
for the money that it seems foolish
not to take it. It's great deal more
than 81 better than the others. The
others are just what you'd expect for
the money, but that one is a bargain"
And SO they took the desired apart
ment and paid the extra rent out of
the fund they had planned to save.
And whenever their consciences
pricked them for spending more than
they could afford, they pointed out
the open fireplace and the shower
bath and the attractive wall papers
to each other, and repeated, cts such
a bargain, it would have been foolish
to miss it,
I think their viewpoint on values is
about as typical as it is unfortunate.
A bargain is not a bargain when you
can't afford it.
The first criterion on all expendi-
lures should be, "can 1 afford it? the
second, "is it a good value?"
I was most interested the other day
to hear a young minister announce
that his church was going to cut down
expenses. We've been piling up
deficit each year he said, ''and it
isn't right. It isn't right for individ-
uals and it isn't right for churches.
1t must stop. We've tried to make our
income fit our expenses and we have
mt done it; now we shall try to make
our expenses fit our income" Where
upon he went through the budget
with the financial committee and
struck out certain expenses, such as
church calendar, and some of the
singing, which had hitherto been re-
garded as necessities. Some of the
committee protested. The calendar
was such good thing, they said, and
the singer was a fine artistic and not
expensive considering her value.
Nothing is good" said the minister,
land anything is expensive that. you
cannot afford"
Of course there is another side to
the question-that one sometimes has
to spend money in order to get it.
But that applies more largely to
business than personal affairs, and
where there is one corresponding with
that aim, there are one hundred over
spending simply for personal graft
fication.
THAT apartment is a good value"
II simply ought to have a new rug,
this one is disgraceful," and How
nice it would be to have a player pi-
ano to educate the children in 60
music" etc, etc, are perfectly good
considerations in their place, but their
place is after "can we afford it?" and
not before.
