For the sake Of history the story of the

be briefly rehearsed. Mr.. Hammers
announced it in his prospectuses for Phila-s
delphia and Boston. In the former CITY
the Methodist and Baptist clergymen made
an energetic protest The Presbyterians
followed on the eve of the opening of the
opera house adopting a preamble and resa
iutlons which described the work as "a
realistic portrayal of the immoral motives
that resulted in the bloody tragedy of John
the Baptist" and "inconsistent with that
sacred reverence which all Christians
cherish for that godly man" Committees
of the Christian League and the State snd
County Federation Of Catholic Societies
sent letter to the Mayor of the citv on
the day before that set for the perform.

The Mayor not only declined to interf.r..

ion. We have the best authority for it
that in the most conspicuous trials under
the espionage act thus far held counsel,
court and jury were guided solely by the
law and the evidence"
"The st. Louis Republic,' remember
ing the programme that the Socialist
party launched in st. Louis, speaks in
this wise:
"The conviction of Eugene Debs. like
that of Mrs. Stokes at Kansas City and
'Bill' Haywood and his l. w. w. followers
in Chicago, will be received with satsfac-
tion throughout the country. 1t is warn
ing to all the loose linking and loud talk
ing tribe that the people of the United
States do not purpose to have their
efforts diverted wasted by dissensions
such as would inevitably follow the en-
couragement of Bolshevism in this country
"In his address to the jury at Cleveland
Debs tried to make it appear that he was
being tried for adherence to the doctrines
of socialism and the ST. Louis platform.
Such is not the case He was tried on spe-
cifc charges of violation of the espionage
act and had every opportunity to establish
his innocence. Before the law he deserved,
and received, no more consideration as
Debs, the Presidential candidate, than any
plain citizen would have received So far
as the st. Louis platform is concerned, it
is one of the things bearing it's name of
which ST. Louis distinctly is not proud or
responsible for. 1t was adopted before the
United States entered the war by body
of men who called themselves Socialists.
but whose efforts have been denounced by
real Socialists as proGermansm in dis
guise"
"The Chicago Daily News" does not
differ in its arraignment of Debs:
"The conviction of Debs was unavoidable
in the circumstances. He may have sought
martyrdom-he said in court that he was
willing to die for his dens--but neither the
law nor sound reaaon would countcnaaoe
seditious license for fanatics and doctri-
naires. Those who. like Debs or Mrs. Rose
Pastor Stokes, refuse to help democracy in

managing editor, sought Mr.. Hammerstein
in upper Broadway and, coming upon hsm
az he was leaving the Knlckerbocker Hotel,
demanded an apology. He refused to make
it and they fell upon him, smote him with
their fists. ~ et ormis, landing several
blows upon his body. For this Mr.. Ham
melsLelu caused their arrest on a criminal
charge.
The next day there were two physical
collisions between the newspaper men and
Mr.. Arthur Hammerstein, who had been
challenged to a trial at fisticuffs by the
managing editor and had accepted the gage
as the champion of mis- father. The first
violent meeting took place outside the
police court at which the criminal charge
was to be tried; the second within it's
wallis. The laws of the State of New York
and the dignity of the tribunal had been
shockingly violated, but no punishment was
meted out The criminal causes and an
action for damages begun by the musical
critic of the newspaper drbbled along until
they were lost in the sands of time. And
Miss Garden and Miss Cavalieri both signed
contracts with Mr.. Hammerstein for the
next season.
On January %, 1909, in the midst of the
painful perturbations which I have re-
corded "Salome" was produced in q French
version at the Manhattan Opera House, and
Miss Garden had opportunity to divest
herself of her clothing piecemeal in the
presence Of public with we'll whetted
curiosity. The story Of the first produc-
tion of the opera at the Metropolitan Opera
House, and its suppression at the command
of the directors and the owners of that in
stitution in the season of 1906-'O7, is fully
told in my book, "Chapters of Opera" Ead
the original production been spared the
interference of the Metropolitan directors
the question Of the attitude o. New Yorl's
music lovers toward the woEk would soon
have been settled and the public been
spared Mr.. Hammerstein's revamping of
the unsavory mess.
It was no secret in January, 1907, among
trose familiar with operatc affairs that a
failure of the drama was presaged by the
snail sale of seats for the representations
projected by Mr.. Conried and diligently
kept before the public while the contro-
Tersy between Mr.. Conred and the Metro
poltan Opera and Real Estate Company
was raging. 1t is very likely that the
sstute Mr. Hammerstein saw the handwrt-
ing on the wall at the time for three or four
days after the work had been performed
and while the question of it's withdrawal
was still pending he told ME that he had
declined to purchase the performing rights
in the preceding summer. partly on the ad-
vice of Madame Lii Lehman. and that he
was glad he had done so, adding that he
would not produce "Salome" even if Mr.
Conred surrendered the performing rights

Laroer than Sun.

Canopus, the giant of the stellar sys.

tion of w. f. A. Ellison, $4,000 tines
as bright as the sun. 1t is 134 times
as large as the sun in diameter, 49,.
600 times in surface and 2,420000
times in volume. It's distance from us
according to the same estimate, is 4S9

Suppose, says Mr.. Tllison, that in
stead of being at this enormous dis.
tance 1t were placed in the center of
the solar system, in lieu of the sun. 1t

dredths of the space lying within the
orbit of Venus, and as seen from the
earth, would subtend an angle of about
70 degrees Of arc. Thus when its

the saliva slightly bactericldal but
alkalinity counteracts the acids pro-
duced by these bacteria.
Starchy foods should always be ac-
companied by fruits or berries. for the
acid in these has the peculiar proper
ty of changing to an alkali in the body,
and besides they are the best OF stirn-
ulants for the salivary glands. DR.. j.
Sim Wallace of London says he has
been struck by the immunity from de-
cayed teeth of persons who generally
cat an apple after dinner.
The teeth should be brushed after
every meal, using a good paste, and
this brushing should be supplemented
by another before going to bed and
another on arising.

LESSON FOR MARCH z4TH

Lesson Title: Jesus Ministering to
the Multitude
Lesson Text: Mark 6:32-56.
Golden Text: 'The Son of Man
came not to be ministered unto but TO
minister, and to give his life Il ransom
for many" Matthew 20:2S.
|. Doing Good.
There is perhaps no more signifi
cant characterization of Jesus than
3. this: He went about doing good!"
He himself states very clearly that
He came not to be ministered unto,
bat to minister, and to give His life
IA ransom for many" There are those
who admire His ministry who forget
His sacrifice. 1t is also true, alas,
that there are some who think espe-
cially of His sacrifice who forget the
example of His ministry!
\ ministering life is the happiest
and it is longest remembered by 9th
ers There Is many magnificent
monument in our cemeteries which
cannot compare with the monuments
in the hearts of men who make there
holy of hOlies for those who have
great many words by which the man
= in the pulpit is called: Preacher. ell
der, pastor, shepherd. rector bishop
but no name surpasses this: Minis
ter! 1t is this that every christian
should strive to be.
III. "Not Aims but Friend"
Jesus saw the multitude "as sheep
not having a shepherd" He there
fore had compassion on them!'
They needed food, of course, and
clothing, but they also needed a
friend. If you cannot give out many
lOaves of bread you can give out un-
limited loaves of friendship! 'How
many loaves" of friendship 'have
ye"?
The work of charity in our large
cities has become complicated and
difficult business. To carry it on we
find it necessary to have ''Federa-
tiOn of Charities BY this means
various organizations can avoid over
tapping and likewise learn more about
individuals needing help Churches
do their best work in cooperation
with such agencies.
Human nature is greedy and the
needy sometimes develop habit of
leaning upon others. Then they be-
come what is called ''repeaters." Hav-
ing secured aid today they are quite
willing to receive aid tomorrow.

in Il great city Is for the same people

and the right encouragement given, II

tiaH to the core.

Crop and Drug Plants.

One of the projects outlined by the
committee on botany of the national
research council is the search for wild
plants which may be used as wartime
substitutes for the more costly crop
plants. During the Civil war DR.. John
Porcher, Southerncr, published q
book giving n list of plants of the
South which could be substituted for
much.nccdcd food and drug plants. II
is suggested that information might be
obtained from hunters, trappers,
woodsmen, farmers, Indians and the
foreigners, who pick up considerable
food froE1 the countryside. Similar in
formation is desired concerning plants
that can be used In medicine.
