Candy, like all sugars, requires
a great deal OF the substances in

Caruso, at $4,000 a night, to sparen
the Metropolitan the pain Of an an
nual deficit, in spite Of the manage
ment's enormous subscription sales
of seats and boxes. Where would
Mr.. Hammerstein find Caruso, at
any price? And, lacking any such
means of drawing several thousand
opera lovers past his box office at
the Manhattan for at least two or
three performances a week. how
could he stand the strain Of the
enormous ordinary expenses of pro-
ducing grand operaf
But Mr.. Hammerstein had laid
foundations for grand opera other
than those Of the Manhattan Opera
House. First, he delighted New
York operagoers with q fascinating
revival of their favorite Carmen"
This lifted him safely over the first
hurdles. Then he played his trump
card. He astonished New York by
presenting a highly efficient female
foil to Caruso-Tetrazzini, who
proved to be the most magnetic
coloratura soprano ever heard In
the Eastern metropolis.
Thereafter, how Mr.. Hammerstein
ratified the dessicated opera skele-
tons in the Metropolitan property"
room by ignoring the trite old works
with which the metropolis had been
surfeited for a generation and Civ
ing splendid productions of the
great modern French operas-a
revelation to American audiences
is familiar recent history.
The Metropolitan Opera organiza-
ton, with all its wealth and social
prestige, was so worried that II gave
Mr.. Hammerstein a million dollars
in cold cash to go elsewhere and let
the Diamond Horseshoe" sleep In
peace.
Is 1t the destiny Of Mile. Pavlowa
and a native japanese prima donna,
weighing perhaps ninety pounds
against the two hundred odd of let

recently gave keen pleasure to
jaded patrons of that form of pub.
lie entertainment. and, perhaps,
justified a hope Of further develop
ments along similar lines.
Last season, and for several sea-
sons past, Madame Butterfly" an
opera composed by Puccini with a
iibretto adapted from Belasco's
play with the same title, was the
most popular work in the repertory
Of the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Like the play. this opera depends
for its success mainly upon its Sc
ductive exotic scene and central
character. 1t enacts the affecting
love tragedy OF a naive and trust
ing Japanese girl amid the sur
ronndingsl and in the deity sug-
gested atmosphere OF. her native
home.
In presenting the opera Of
Madame Butterfly" however, the
lyric soprano enacting the role OF
heroine has been one or another OF
several prima donne who bore not
the falntest resemblance to q Jap
anese girl. nor seemed to have the
remotest conception OF the char
aoter and national traits of this en-
gaging heroine of an international
tragedy. They we're Italian, French
or American--hopelessly Occidental

WOMAN SUFFRAGE

best safeguard OF our liberties, and
money devoted to right education is the
States best investment.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
The resolution passed by the last Legis-
lature submitting an amendment to the
constitution providing for woman suf-
frage, should be re-enacted and the voters
allowed to determine for themselves
whether or not women shall vote In
Pennsylvania.
APPROPRIATIONS TO CHARITY
Pennsylvania leads all States in its sup
port of dependents. Its record should be
maintained. But there is neither sense
nor justice in unstudied appropriations to
our many charitable institutions and
agencies. These constitute important and
wholly worthy objects of public concern
and support. The Legislature should
know from competent authority their real
needs and should follow such knowledge
In making its appropriations. Moreover,
the bounty of the State should never eX-
ceed the assured income of the State. 1t
should not again occur that the obligation
of lessening this bounty should b eplaced
upon the Executive.
1t may be that some wiser and surer
method can be devised to ensure these
funds doing the greatest good and reach
ing directly the institutions and agencies
whose service is best or most needed
Surely the supervision of the State should
follow absolutely its gifts, The State can
afford to be generous only when 1t is just
LABOR AND IT'S CLAIMS
The people who toll are among the
choice assets of our Commonwealth. For
their protection, their comfort, their ad-
vancement, their happiness we are all
securely pledged. 1 shall welcome any
laws that promote these essentially wise
ends. We must enact fair and certain
workmen's compensation act It's provi-
sions should secure reasonable compen-
sation to those who in their daily toll
suffer from accident or disease. It should
assuredly make for the prevention of
accidents. This compensation should be
guaranteed. The funds for Its prompt
payment should be counted among the
costs of production. In scope 1t should
not include labor upon the form nor do
mestic service. Great care should be ex-
ercised to see that the law be drawn in
strict compliance with constitutional limI-
tations. The present liability act needs
an amendment to the end that 1t may be
in full accord with the above proposed act
and that both alike many guarantee to
our workers the certain and speedy relief
they merit and should have.

our laws ought not to hinder but help
these great groups speedily TO find them
selves in the difficult task OF adjusting
municipal affairs to individual welfare
The State should give these municipalities
wider freedom OF opportunity TO develop
as they would, and TO place definite re-
sponsibillty upon them so to regulate
their affairs as TO make our cities centres
of moral upllft and examples OF clean,
capable administration.
CONSERVATION
Once Pennsylvania was rich in natural
resources and unequaled In natural
beauty Much of Its wealth has been
taken from II. Much yet remains. Its
ownership has passed to private and to
corporate agencies. They have rights
that must be respected. SO also have the
people OF the State a claim upon these
great natural assets. In their marketing
the Commonwealth plays an essential
part. In the returns the people ought
also to share. reasonable tax upon
our great natural resources as they flow
to our markets Is both fair and WISE
Our public lands represent a new and
increasingly valuable asset. We should
speedily acquire many more acres and
assist nature to reforest the same. The
State can we'll afford to invest part of
Its income for the welfare of succeeding
generations. Indeed, II we love our con-
tlnuing Commonwealth more than we love
our personal gain, we shall assuredly
foster our resources, and, whenever pos
sible. add to them.
"a Fat a. IL. zAr .tr-t.A
II we do not remember that our people
are our greatest asset. Whatever makes
for their good is conservation of the loft
lest kind. That they may be safeguarded
In their health, their recreation, their edu-
cation, their homes, their worship, their
property, their regulated freedom, their
toll, should be our constant endeavor.
CONCLUSION
Pennsylvania has always given home
and haven to the people of the civilized
world. Here we have had for a quarter
of n millennium the most heterogeneous
population of any State. There has never
been persecution or oppression. In peace,
in order, in brotherhood we have grown
into a mighty people, an empire of sub
stantial purposes. Our people are law
abiding and liberty loving. They want the
right things to prevail. They welcome the
unselfish leadership OF clean men. They
want and must have a clean, capable and
conscientious administration of their pub
lie affairs. Those of us that serve should
be frankly honest with them. They have
a perfect right to know, and they shall
know, what this administration stands for
and will steadily do.
In the performance Of public service let
us adopt the finest code of our best citi-
zens and put private integrity into public
service. Let us all devoutly pray for this
great State and by our words and our
deeds humbly help our common God to
save, to honor, to exalt this splendid Com
monwealth He has given into our care and
keeping.

he should be in school. He should never

hours of toll should be supplemented by
hours of study In school. Continuation
schools to which our children who toll
may resort for practical and specific aid
should be maintained in every Industrial
centre. No child should be allowed to
enter upon any form of service who is
not certified by competent agents to be
physically fit for such service.

great blessing to our workmeh II this
problem were adequately met now.
OUR FARMS
We have not learned how to make the
most of our soil. The rewards of our toll
on the farm are not what they should be.
The State should grow more food than 1t
consumes. We ought not to be buyers
but sellers of foods. Money should flow
to us, not away from us. Tho depart
ments OF the Government charged with
the conservation of our soil and the
scientific development of our crops have
sprung up, one at time, as their serv-
ices were required and no effort has been
made to articulate and coordinate these
| several agencies. There is at least de-
partmental confusion II not actual du-
plicaton and conflict of activities All
this means waste in funds and lessened
service to the farmer. 1 hope in this
session of the Legislature to have such
action taken as will seperate the teach
ing from the administrative functions OF
these agencies and reduce each to an
ordered and scientific service. The funds
for the advancement of our agricultural
interests ought to express themselves
much more largely in wheat and corn
and potatoes and less in clerical and
other forms of routine service. Let us
legislate for the farmer rather than for
the offlceholder
