POPULAR PRICED OPERA AND HOW EL PASO CAN BEST SERVE HERSELF o,t li.ms dose, her second w of outdoor sum-, largely on home nwU. "PKlJ.f iJ mer opera with a balance ef $15,000 above expenses; SCHOOL DA YS Copyright. "' try, . McClnre Newspaper Syndicate. By D WIG 158,000 paid admissions yielded $10,900 gross receipts. Bat the total admissions were 2KMI00, including liberal free admissions to schools and inatitntioBS and to children. Forty-eight performance were given in etma. Besides several of the always popular Gilbert f futtvan operas, the repertory included Bobin Hood, Babes In Toy land, Firefly, Watts Dream, Mascot, Katinka, and otter old favorites. The Mikado and the Gondoliers probabiy received the largest audiences of the season. While the undertaking was called the municipal opera, the city had nothingtto do with it except to furnish the park and the outdoor theater. All expenses were guaran teed by public spirited ettisens, who paid in half their guaranty, and received hack their money at the dose of the season. . Hw York gave summer grand opera in the college stadium, and it was not serf supporting. Saint Louis gave light opera, and the people expressed their approval by an average attendance of over 4000 persons each performance. The Saint Lome effort was enthusiastically praised by ..., t,Te. nA visitors, and the newspapers are very well satisfied. But musical critics are not so keenly de lighted with the manner in which the Saint Louis light opera was managed. The principal grievance, and it is justified, is that the operas in the repertory weTe not pre sented as written, but were "modernised" by interpolations of all sorts of songs fini dances and even jazz bands intro duced. Many of the mosieal critics, who warmly approve of the enterprise in general, feel that the people would have l,,, fnTfo wril nleased if the performances had followed the correct lines and the original musk, and that the edu cational and artistic values would have been greater. Samt Louis has for many years been active in providing outdoor entertainments on a large scale for the people. She has tned grand opera, pageants, and drama, but until this 7ear and ita light opera the summer seasons have never paid their expenses. Other cities may well profit by this experience. The managers frankly say that in their opinion before "classic" standards in musk and drama can be firmly established in Saint Louis, the people must first be habitu ated to coming to the theater, and the enterprises must be made self supporting. Many other centers in this country and Europe have proceeded on the opposite fine, that the educational and artistic values must be kept to the fore, even though a subsidy must be paid to meet the production costs. The true principle Hes between the two; it was exempli fied best in this country by Theodore Thomas during the 40 years of his splendid career as symphony orchestra con ductor. Thomas never once departed from his high stan dards of artistic perfection; his programs were choice and hia interpretations excellent. But he exercised such skill in selection of musk to be played, and took such pains to develop the public taste as he went along, that his audiences were always limited only by the seating capacity of the auditorium, and by far the greater part of his auditors were of the wage workers and salaried folk who dearly loved the music, who filled the low priced seats, and who cared nothing for glitter and show, but came for pure en joyment of one of the greatest of the fine arts. One """g is certain: the Saint Louis puhHe Kked what it got; it is probable that it would have Kkea it better if it had been set at a tittle higher standard, but tar box office is a telling argument. Aad as one of the papers says, a permanent deficit is a-deadener of enthusiasm. A few years ago, Hew York tried popular priced grand opera in the winter time. A good many useful lessons were learned, but the venture cM not pay and was abandoned for the time being. It wiH he revived, now that wartime Jihnns WT TUtsif. The prices for seats ranged from 25c to $2. The seats priced up to 51 were eold out for most performances, but i.. .t. w.tt heroine-. It was deduced that people who are willing to pay $2 a seat for opera are disposed to de mand muck more costly stars and orchestras than can be afforded at such prices. It is worth remembering that ths matinees in the Hew York popular opera season, when the highest, priced seats were $1, v.tr ways sold out, and that, according to Otto fr., one o. .ne principal organisers and backers of the Century venture, "the matinees at reduced prices brought a higher average monetary yield than the perf ermances at full prices." The attendance at the Century for popular priced opera was larser in the aggregate than the attendance at any other Hew York theater during the same.period. The ob ject of the undertaking was to give the people generally a chance to enjoy opera and to f araiHarixe themselves with it, at prices they could afford. It was a well meant and well planted effort to "give souls an airing," but there was no disposition to "patronise" the pubfie or try any "uplift" business. It was just an effort to recognise opera as a necessity in a wen ordered Kfe rather than as a luxury. Responding to the expressed wish of a majority of the ticket subscribers, the operas were sung in English, in spite of ths opinion of moat musical people that opera should be sung in the tongue ef the original book since musk cannot be safely modified to suit another language. As to musical taste, it cannot be classified according to the ability of people to pay much or little for seats. It has been the universal experience that the keenest enjoy ment and the best musical taste are found at least as often among the poorer gioupa in a community as among the welltodo, and probably ofteser. There is such a thing as educated taste, but those who have the best opportunities to receive such education too often ignore them, white native taste in arttstk matters often gees with comparative poverty and lack of opportunity. It is a serious mistake to think that to please "the people" er "the masses" it is necessary to lower the standards. The opposite is more nearly true.

Cox's Platform. TT MIGHT be as well for Democrats in aexas anu omei 1 states to knovf what kind of a man the national candi date is and what his idea, are on topics of publk concern, before they allow their minds to be made up for them with all finality. To be sure, governor Cox before he began his campaign placed himself on the platform of 100 percent Wflsonism, and that may give his supporters all the in formation they desire. The governor's speeches however reflect the man, sad the people will judge as he goes along. Cox is a mature man and he was supposedly mature eight years ago when he was a member of the national congress. Consequently what he said in th.se days on public questions in his public speeches is entitled to be re ceived, interpreted, and judged as part of the mans ex pression, for a man big enough to be president does not usually change his convictions in matters of fundamental political and economk principle during a few fleeting years, or merely to suit the whim of a particular audience in the heat of a campaign. This being true, it is interesting io,ni uji. speech in the house of representatives March 27, 1912, on a pending measure to amend the homestead laws, congress- n.n wnw Mflfllflxte COX Saldl "I THINK THAT ALL UTILITIES EXCEPT THAT OF AGRICULTURE SHOULD BE HELD BT THE GOVERNMENT." .,.

Perhaps congressman (now candidate) Cox would even have included the daily newspapers under the head of "all utilities" eight years ago. "I tM" that all utilities except that of agriculture should be held by the government" was tie expression of political faith made only eight years ago by the man who is now candidate for president on the national Democratic ticket It was said in Kansas derisively during the late primary campaign in Texas that "Thomas Jefferson was the first and original Bailey Democrat" One wonders what Thomas Jefferson might have said of such doctrine as national can didate Cox announced eight years ago. What governor Cox now believes no one knows. But in his speech at South Bend, Ind, on August 19 this year this is what he said: -Government should be kept out ot business except where supervision Is necessary to the publla welfare, and where federal InterventlonMs essential to protect the supply ot necessities and make un necessary competition for them impossible." To play safe in attempting to interpret candidate Cox's political principles, it seems wise to read the South Bend speech in intimate connection with the speech in congress eight years ago. w o Whether a "" is a martyr depends on what the public twtnlre about it a hundred years later. i . - 5 Emn)Lj$&PX WrfmfzM&jgm, ar lump cf trow!

T. B. M. Is After Remedy For Man Who Gets Up Grouchy; 'Texas Juries Laugh At Murders and Release Criminals' I THE commonwealth of New Mexico stands a good chance of havinz another SepubKcan governor. When the Ee- pub&ans of that state named judge Menitt C Hechem as the bearer of their standard they made a wise choice. As a jurist judge Hechem has distinguished himself and person ally he has as wide a circle of friends as any man in the state. But the thing that will reinforce the Republican position in New Mexico eves more than its choice of a candidate is its attitude toward certain important questions before the country. There was no pussyfooting about the convention in Albuquerque. The Republicans came out squarely against the league of nations. Second is importance the conven tion declared is favor of a budget system. Other planks declare for direct primaries for the nomination of county candidates and the selection of delegates to state and dis trict conventions; a tariff to protect the wool industry, and revised methods of taxation. The Republicans have a first class leader and a strong program. They win give lusty battle to the Democrats, who have also put up a strong man for governor, another judge. It will be a hard fight, with state and national issues both entering in. The Baskhead highwaymen stole our hearts.
