Less Government in Business.

Some United States Senator with
the courage of his convictions ought
to arm himself with suitable in
strument, say an elongated kind OF
shepherds crook, and stand ready to
restore summarily to their seats
those of his colleagues who cannot
refrain from releasing at every op-
portunity the multitude Of unneces-
sary fiscal bills and resolutions which
are a pest to government, pest to
business, a pest to everybody except
Treasury bloodsuckers.
The list of financial measures and
innovations which the Senate pur-
poses to consider this summer is ap-
palling. 1t runs all the way from the
soldiers bonus to the maternity and
infant bills, involving appropriations
from few thousands to hundreds of
millions of dollars.
The Government already has its
hand in every business, in every pri-
vate undertaking and in every house
hold in the land. Through its reve-
nue. laws IL puts strictly private af-
fairs largely beyond the control OF
the individuals most concerned.
The Government dominates fnan-
cial transactions through the money
market, where it's frequent turnover
of the Treasury's floating debt sets
the pace and the price for private
funds to finance trade and industry
II controls domestic and foreign busi-
ness through the tariff, and again
through the foreign exchange market,
where its holdings Of foreign Govern
ment obligations turn the business
OF money changing into the most
fiagrant and dangerous kind OF
speculation.
The Government has its tax grip
on transportation. and in various
ways on banking, farming, money
lending on a small and a large scale,
and even on the sale of amusement
tickets and soda fountain drinks and
other small affairs.
The Government 10 everywhere. Yet
as to helping along initiative, stimu-
lating enterprise OF encouraging pro
duction IL gets nowhere.
Regardless OF this, Democratic and
Republican Senator'S alike seem to
have IL as their chief ambition 20
ennct more obstructive financial
legislation in the guise OF remedial
measures, which in the end will mean
more instead of less government in
business and higher instead OF
lower taxes.
For every reduction in the per.

American Academy in Rome Expanding
Addition of a Department of Musical Composition

the addition OF a department of musical
composition providing three fellowships.

The Carnegie Corporation. through j.

the three fellowships In musical COM

Soon after Mr.. Juilliard made the hope

The new fellowships in musical COM

given out yesterday. are to be awarded

architecture, painting, sculpture and
landscape architecture.
The purpose Of the founding Of the
academy, the statement said, was the

who had proved in competition here their
capacity for their professions might gain

influence in the moulding of public opin-

its comment upon ex-President Tafts

tion that he is not adequately fitted for
that great Office. Quite the contrary Is
the truth.

Establishment of the fellowships In

the conclusive step toward realization
of the scheme of the late Charles +.

nouncement said, and there Is abun-
dant instruction in this country for the
singer or instrumentaiist. America is
preeminent in the standard of its
operatic and orchestral and choral per-
formances. But there is no provision
for the promising composer to study
abroad.
There will be one Prix de Rome win
ner in musical composition each year,
the fellowship providing three years OF
residence and study In Rome or two
years in Rome and one year in Paris
for each fellow. After three years there
will be three American composers con-
stantly studying abroad with the aid
of the musical department of the
Academy.
The total funds necessary for perma-
nently carrying on the work is esti-
mated by the Academy in Rome at
$500, 900, which is said to be consider
ably more than the foundation fund at
present. The announcement says that
the additional funds likely will be forth
coming in good time from Americans
interested in the development of Amer

No Return to Older Days.

1t is agreeable to discuss the pos
sible restoration of the old system by
which every city possessed its own
stock company of actors. These or
ganizations flourished in the so-called
palmy days of the theatre. They were
accounted, moreover, the best training
school for the actor, since he had
the opportunity to play many roles.
Critics who see lack Of skill in
players of the day are more likely
than not to attribute their shortcom-
ings to want of the training which
is possible only under the old system.
So the subject is interesting.
But there is not the least probabil-
ity that there will be any restoration
of this former practice. In its evo-
luton the American theatre has
never shown any tendency to step
backward. 1t has always gone ahead.
Repeatedly it has refused to return
to methods proclaimed most salutary
for it. The repertoire system has
been abandoned here. Gradually
other countries are following our ex-
ample in this, artistically unsatisfac-
tory as it may be. No foreign i'm.
presario is nowadays willing to jeop.
ard the value Of a popular play by
interrupting it's performances.
Nor have the managers, in spite of
the advice on the subject from critics
of our theatre, given up the stars so
beloved of the public. Theatregoers
would never want to see them depart.
They love their personalities too
much. They do not love them too
long. Therein lies another reason for
the impossibility of the stock COM
pany to-day. There are no old favor
ties. The public soon wearies of it's
entertainers. 1t takes only few
years of active service to make them
familiar. The late CHARLES FRoHMAN,
who made some acute observations
about showmanship, declared that the
popular favorite could not count ON
more than ten years of popularity.
There are enough examples of van
ished esteem to prove the truth OF his
opinion.
Yet the popular members of the old
stock companies kept before their
public for years. They grew old in
the service of their admirers. In the
nervous taste of these days they would
never be tolerated for moro than a
few seasons. A veteran Of only few
years lags superfluous. This change
in taste would in itself be enough to
make the restoration of the stock
company impossible to-day. It's very
existence depended on the loyalty of
the public.

A Round of Years.

A. college he was envied much
And as coming man they hailed him :
That marvellous brain Of his was such
There was no instance when 1t failed
him..
There was no subject that he barred
For there was none he was afraid OF ;
However deep, complex or hard
He showed the stuff that he was made
Of
He joyed in trope and paradigm
And thrived on metaphysic riddles
The asses bridge was pie to him;
He revelled In ambiguous middies.
He fought the second aorist
And wrestled with the fourth dimen-
In short. no problem on the list
Was there beyond his comprehension.
Yet somehow, in the after day,
Lies troubles came to him In patches I;
His laundry bills he could not pay,
His one suit showed brace OF

he desired to put his son through college
he did not feel he had right to use this
money on his personal account inasmuch
as the prize winning sermon was writ

to produce great literature. painting or
music the author of these must feel that
he has full leisure and freedom from

There might be a number, but their
