Welcome Economy on the stage.

The swift fate which overtakes the
atrlcal enterprises to-day has often
been source OF amazement TO the lay
man. A play must now stand or fall
according 60 the verdict OF its first
night audience. If II shows no imme-
date signs Of vitality the wise mana
ger withdraws the effort. acknowledges
defeat and tries again.
The layman wonders how any en-
terprise with any consideration for
commercial principles can be conducted
on such basis. Rut he is probably
forming his conclusions according tn
something that he has read or heard
from the publicity agents OF the I'm
presa rios There was n time whom
large sums were expended on the pro
duction Of plays.
Such extravaganza however. IS not
the rule at present. The managers are
disposed TO be economical. They are
not plunging in the matter of acccsso-

Even though immediate visible re-
suit be lacking, no one need doubt that
bounteous response will be made to the
prayers for peace which went up yes
terday from all quarters of this conn
try. Providence has It's own subtle
ways Of distributing its mercics. Though
we may little know them in the larger
sense, there are some which even the
dim eyes of reason may perceive.
Thus in It's reflex action upon the
American people themselves this great.
united act Of devotion must have puri.
flying and eieyating influence. The un.
selfish purpose, the abstraction from
material considerations, the sense of
brotherhood with the suffering. the up
lifting of spirit toward the higher
realm OF ideas wherein hatred. anger
and revenge have no part, cannot fail
10 exalt the national consciousness
and stimulate its progress to lofty aims
and standards in It's organic life.
Piety will confidently hope that the
massed applications of an entire PEG
pie may have a direct influence upon
the fearful struggle that is being waged
in Europe. Nor is there any good pur
pose served in casting denial or doubt
upon a faith so full of beauty and com
fort The question penetrates into the
region Of the uuknOwable and the an

But there is one view in which all
can place themselves in accord with
each other and with the great Destiny
that guides the affairs Of nations and
OF men All must agree that as the
war with all it's cruel features must
have its place and purpose OF good In
the universal plan, so IT will he stopped
by universal Wisdom at the moment Of
highest good 10 all the creatures of Con
and to the plans He has made for their

this trust the prayers Of the nation
