THOMAS BEECHAM,
 36 TODAY, HEIR TO
 ssTHE GREAT FILLER 7

Although he will inherit one of the greatest fortunes in England, Thomas Beecham, son of Sir Joseph Beecham, has not been content to play the role and operatic impresario he has made d name for himself throughout the musical world. The baronetcy con- ferred upon his father last year was not a recognition of his standing as stthe great pilIer of the state z but port he gave to his son's musical ventures Thomas Beechafn was born thirty six years ago today, the son of Joseph Beechams who has made a tremendous fortune as the raanI1fa cturer of pills The elder turned out more pills and brought in more than any other patent medicine factory in the world. Printers ink was the basis of the Beecham fortune, for the founder of the business was always a. firm believer in the virtues of newspaper advertising. Starting business in a small way, he spent every penny he could get hold of on newspaper advertising, and kept it up until his pills were known and sold in every land and cline Last year Sir Joseph used a small part or his fortune in purchasing from the Duke of Bedford the great Covent Garden Estate in London, which includes nine teen acres in the heart of the metro polsi, and embraces the world fam ous Covent Garden Opera House. of which his son is director. The son of the pill maker was educated at OK ford and married an American wo- man, Utica WeIles of New York.
 t owing to Sir Joseph Beecham's po- ntical activities and support of the government the wits of the British press have conferred upon him the title of '.pil1er of the state" Thomas Beecham has been notably successful as a producer of opera By invading the London operatic field with Rus Asian opera and Russian Imperial bal 1ets he divided the honors with Covent Garden, and was admitted to the di- rectorate of the syndicate which con trols the famous London home of sshigher music His Russian inno- walton scored a great success in Eng land, and from there spread to America

MoNRo oE DOCTRINE:

The first official declaration of the principle of America. for Americans was made by James Monroe, the fifth president ofthe United States, who was born in Virginia, 157 years ago today In 1923 President Monroe voiced his famous doctrine, in which he warned the European pow CTS that the American continents henceforth were not to be considered subject to colonization by any Euro peap countries. The occasion of this warning, since upheld by the United States government, was the formation in Europe of the so-called Holy Al nance'' of Prussia, Austria and Rus sfa The rulers of these countries proposed to establish their supremacy in South and Central America and Mexico, where the people had reyolted against Spanish rule. At first the ssHoly AIIiance's monarch were dis posed to disregard the warning of the infant American republic, but when Great Britain joined in the condem- nation of the project of the continen- tai powers the great scheme for estab- fishing European supremacy in the New World was reluctantly aban- doned.

AUTUMN

This is the saddest season
of the year, and there is a rea-
son. The spring time has its
new life. the summer is flow
ers, the fall It's harvest, the
winter Its long hours. and yet,
though autumn is the harvest
season, it has its sad regrets.
When we cast our eyes back
ward through and over our
summers life work, we see by
the wayside of the path OF duty
many little things perishlng
and neglected; that begged
our care as we passed them in
our summers trip. We took
especial care OF the main
crops, but the little pansy, the
little dandelion and other little
things OF useful plant life mis-
sed our Watchtul care and had
doomed and dropped and died
and we failed to see their beau
ty, in their bloom OF youth.
And now, as we view the
blighted stem, we realize what
we have lost.
Let's apply to the case to
the year OF humanity: In
our spring OF life we are like
the little plant-jlst bursting
forth into existence. with all
the functions of a full-grown
adult concealed in our being.
We pass to the bud, then the
flower and on to maturity and
then our seed time and in ole
age our harvest. Then the
icy blast Of winter that mows
the old stalk down. How like
the vegetable is the ANIMAL
Each have their four seasons.

THE WRONG WAY.

OF late it has become quite
fashionable to dispose OF vari-
Gus questions by putting them
up to voters, through a sup
posed waving OF responsible
ty by legislative bodies. On
this theory the Ant Saloon
leagueis advocating the plan
to obtain national prohibition
through an amendment to the
Federal Constitutions. The
league is at pains to explain
that members OF congress are
not to be asked to declare
themselves in favor of national
prohibition, but they will be
urged Ito vote to allow the
people of the nation, by States,
through their representatives,
to determine this question in
the manner provided therefor
by the farmers of the constl-
tuition. Now this is false
and vicious doctrine, and the
Unpopular Review is to be
commended for its efforts in
showing up the fallacy contain
ed in it. The essence Of the
Anti Saloons argument is to
"let the people decide" But
the people do not decide for or
against a proposed amends
ment to the Federal Consti-
tuition. Chosen representa-
tives decide, and it is as much
the duty OF Congress to con-
slider any question on it's
merits as it is for any state
legislature to approach the
subject in the same spirit. For
to shirk that duty is
