The lmprcsario's Task.

GIULIO GATTI-CAsAZZA. the managing
director Of the Metropolitan Oporn
House, is now busy with one Of his
most difficult tasks. the enga cement of
the company for the next season. II
requires tact and patience. On it's
success depends not only the reputc of
the theatres manager but the pros
perity OF the season.
Toward the public the duty of the
impresario has It's difficulties. Popular
singers. even II they have passed the
zenith of their powers, must be consId-
cred, but new blood is also indispensable,
and so there In always the conflict he.
tween regard for public prejudice and
desire for fresher talents in the use of
the theatre.
Then n seems as difficult for operate
managers to ascertain in advance the
favor with which artists will bc wei
coined here. Artists that arouse en-
thusiasm In some countries afford no
pleasure to audiences at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House.
The impresario's chief struggle with
the artists IL to keep from paying them
In way that invites bankruptcy. II
IL always impossible to give as much
as they demand. Few are really in
dispensable. There IL in fact but one
singer Mt the Metropolitan Opera House
who may be said to be its support.
The present managing director Of the
Metropolitan Opera House has shown
himself capable Of retaining the old
and importing the new talent Judi
ciously. There Is no reason TO doubt
that the company at the Metropolitan
Opera House next year will be capable
Of carrying Oh It's best traditions.

II is unfortunate that Senator LODGE,
whose intellectual as well as moral
honesty is not to be questioned, was
unable to take the highest, the solid,
the logical, the impregnable ground
that the remission Of tolls to American
coastwise vessels Is violation Of a
solemn promise and treaty. a stain upon
the national good faith and honor. In
asserting, as he did in his otherwise
admirable speech Of Thursday. "the le-
gal right" Of the United States under
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty to exempt
American vessels. he may he prepar-
ing a middle way, bridge Of COM
promise; and he is entitled to his opin-
ion on a matter so ardently disputed.
1t II natural but none the less notice
able that the swashbucklers Of free
tolls are seeking to twist MS attitude
into one Of ironical support and real
desertion Of the President.
Mr.. WILSON has only himself to
blame. He descended deliberately from
the lofty argument Of honor to that Of
economic expediency.

Massachusetts seems to be taking a
plunge backward into barbarism. Her
Senate has just passed bill unfolding
the stupid and wicked prejudice which
few people still entertain against
vaccination. The persistence Of this
opposition in the face Of more than a
hundred years OF application Of this
great prophylactic method and It's now
almost universal use IL one of the
curiosities Of the human mind. In the
countless millions Of cases of vaccina-
ton the number i'm which harm has
been done IL almost indlscernible. and
smallpox. once the scourge of civilized
mankind. has been all but extirpsted.
Stranger by far than the limited popular
prejudice is the sanction given to It
by a legislative body IN State which
assumes to lead In civilization.

his career under a shadow owing to his
defeat by RODNEY OF Snnto Domingo

to do with that; his claim on American
gratitude Is in no way impaired

Properly catalogue the uplft publ

Destroy privilege in the United

lawyers. who have a monopoly Of 1t

get a rakeon on everything. 1t would
be especially annoying to those among
them who have gone into politics be-
cause they had not enough talent to

Furnish to the public free moving

political effect
Stop spending the public money for

Give free treatment for paresis to

WOMAN VOTERS.
The Desirable Results Of Their Act Ton

There's nothing right that she can cay
And nothing she can do.
Women voters are indeed between the

the question arises whether 1t was worth
while to take women from their homes to
vote why drag women from their true
sphere. disturb their minds excite them.
II the resultant force is to be nil?"

OF the sex antagonism which IL feared

Thus II would seem however women vote
they must vote wrong. Yet we have the
remarkable spectacle of l65, 900 women
voting for the first time az a perfertly

II was the first occasion on which these

notice that the next day. IN the State of

Figures for Railroad Baiters.

A statement prepared by the I.ehigt
Valley Railroad shows in striking form
the increased expense Of railroad liv
ing for that line: and the case is thu
same. II the details are different. fol
other roads. We pluck q few com
parative figures out Of the record OF
fifteen years:

Maintenance of way.

Freight locomotive. rs, 10000 $4,000 0C
Repairs per locomo-
tive. ,..........,.. 1,50S.o5 2.692.16
The present locomotive pulls enough
more than its elder brother to make
mp In large degree for the swelling
in price. The new steel passenger
cars cost $4,000. whereas their
wooden cousins were built for $1,000.
Here safety and durability make SUI
ficient justification. The pinch comes
from repairs and renewals:
Here the increased cost Of both ma
teriAl and labor shows convincinsly. ON
y passenger car this item has increased
from s510.27 TO ss2415. on a freight
car It Is now S7o.06. where 1t was SsI6s
fiftssn years ago. For locomotives there
Is the difference in the cost Of upkeep
between ten cents and four cents per
mile.
I'm these items labor OF course is
counted In. This has figures for all rail-
roads as a 10 per cent increase. In the
operating Of trains It 10 much more than
10 per cent. however. as the engineers,
conductors and trainmen have had the
biggest increases In pay, and the full
train crew bills in passenger runs in
creased the payroll by 400 per cent.
these extra expenses have been largely
met by efficiency and better methods of
.railroading. 1t has been impossible to
meet them entirely. and that is why the
railroads have been asking for a per
cent increase In freight rates, but It Is
remarkable how much the railroads have
done in the face of the big expenses As
fast as they can, they are replacing
wooden cars with steel cars. costing half
as much again; their roadbeds are far
ahead of what they were fifteen years
ago, and any one who ships freight knows
that the freight service of to-day is so
far ahead In promptness and certainty
that there is no comparing II with fifteen
years ago"
