} EDITORS ALWAYS | ARE GOODNATURED Not Even the Horde Whichj Swooped Down on Election | Night Could Peturb Them. BUT ANYHOW, OOME AGAIN By A. R. GROH. | Editors are the best-natured class | of men in the world. The proof of“ this is the fact that they didn't kill, | injure or even speak sharply to any of the scores of self-invited guests who crowded and cluttered up the of- fice during these portentous days and | busy nights while the presidency of the United States and the jobs of thousands of democrats trembled in | the balance. The editorial rooms are not guard-| ed and “the cat dragged in” lots of | things that we never saw before. | They crowded around the desks of | the telegraph and other editors, bumped against their elbows, looked | over their shoulders, got -in their | way when they rushed to the com-| posing room with sheaves of dis- patches. Yet never a “peep” did these good-natured cditors give. They just kept smiling and even answered questions. This doesn't refer to you, my dear sir, if you were in the office. We'ye| always glad to see you, even on busy, | buzzy election nights. But did you notice those other fellows standing around? They're the guys I refer to. Lots of people are welcome guests at the office and call frequently— like the giant Jefferis, big Baldrige, peaceful Palmer, bucolic Ben Baker, learned Learned, jestful Jerry How- ard, gregarious Greevy and many others. Getting of the Goat But that maverick bunch that we never saw before would have gotten the goats of any class of people on carth except the editors. Their in- terrogations, argumentations and ex- clamations filled the office. “The supreme court has held—" declaimed a well-known member of the Economic league, sitting on the edge of the telegraph editor's desk and shaking a disputatious finger at a leading member of the Philosophi- cal club. It’s a case of an irresistible force meeting an immovable body when an Economic lcaguer and a Philosophical clubber get to argify- ing. They quote the supreme court and Henry James and Magna Charta freely and neither ever convinces t'other. “How's th’ 'lection going?” gasped a cadaverous young man, who was out of breath from rushing up the stairs. Being informed by one of the good-natured _editors, he told his terrible situation. v Bets on Hughes. Th' reason I'm anxious is that I've got $2 up on Hughes,” he said. It's amazing how he endured the long pense. “Say, George, can’t you move your convention back, away from the desks a little?” one of the good-natured edi- tors. remarked to an oracle who was telling just how the final results would be. That was the nearest that these good-natured men came to re- buking the crowd. Imagine what would have have happened if this had been behind the scenes. in-a theater or anywhere else than a newspaper office. 1t makes me so— But, no, I want to be just as good- natured as the tel. ed., the man. ed., the city ed. Come in again, gentlemen. glad to see you. Cold Weather is Forecast for Week Washington, Nov. 11.—The central weather bureau in its forecast for the next week says that severe cold weather will prevail the first half of the week. The latter half of the week will be warmer. Generally fair weather will prevail during the next several days, except snow is possible Sunday in the middle Mississippi | valley. region. Always |and financial standpoint. | be given, many of which are in the |a better or worse teacher than he By HENRIETTA M. REES. N all probability the present | musical season is going to be the busiest which Oma- | ha has yet known. Each | year more musical attrac- tions visit us and meet with great proportionate and av- erage success from both an artistic The con- certs and operas already given this season have been unqualified suc- cesses and the artists who Have al- | ready been announced to appear are among the greatest of the present day. The Retailers’ course and that of the Tuesday Morning Musical club have already been announced. An- other series of concerts is announced today. If plans carry aright we will have two and possibly three more | grand opera companies in the next | few months to come. Besides these, other visiting artists will come, some under municipal management, some independently, and several troupes of ballet dances, Russian and classic, each carrying its own orchestra to | play the classic music it aims to in-| terpret by the dance. Symphony or- chestras will be heard and perhaps a little chamber music to gladden the hearts of all who love this kind of | music. Several local recitals will also | course of preparation. In order to | properly support all these artistic events a large musical public is re- quired. e | Undoubtedly excellent musical of- ferings have their share in the devel- opment of a musical public, but to cook your goose you first must catch him, and if people are not interested enough to attend musical affairs at all, or at best very seldom, it is not much that they are going to learn to know or like about music in that way, nor are they going to support the events. The real force in the devel- opment of a musical public is the growth of a knowledge of the art in each individual which goes to make | up that public. His delight and in- | terest in it develops in due proportion to his knowledge, and the desire to know to what heights it is possible for persons to rise in music and to | understand and enjoy the finished product of it is what adds him to its membership, | Not infrequently thc question bobs up about how 'ong a pupil should study with a teacher before the teach- er is fairly justified in putting him upon a pupil's recita! program as his own pupil. Last year a case came up in which a pupil had studied for three years with one teacher and through a disagreement left him and went to another, who, after three months put him upon a pupils’ recital as_his own. This hardly seems fair on the part of the second teacher, as by ' this probably thoughtless act, the public might be led to believe that he was| really was, and he consequently re- ceives credit or blame that really be: longs to the previous teacher. Some teachers for this reason do not feel justiffed in presenting a pupil as their own under a year's training, thus giv- ing the pupils time to assimilate their ideas, and the habit of using them. Other teachers feel that if they have taught the pupils the numbers which they are to present, they are justified in presenting them as their own upon a pupils’ recital program in'a shorter period of time. Frequently and by various instruc- tors it has been suggested that all doubts in any case would be removed if teachers would only state at their | pupils’ recitals the amount of training each pupil has had, both previous training, and training with them. Now comes the case of a teacher presenting some pupils in recital who have studied many years with other teachers as his own pupils after eight or nine months’ training. He might be justified in doing this, according to the second point of view, providing he had taught them the compositions in which they appeared, and that all the work of technical mastery in the difficult places and interpretation had been done by him. But when it comes The Smootixest field. To dispute this largely lengthened. load. In other phases Saxon “Six” is $815 f. 2066-68 Farnam St. It can be fairly said that Saxon "Six”'is the smoothest, quietest, most flexible car in the facts.

And with these gone the life of the motor is In fact, now, running with full load, Saxon “Six” has the stamina to stand up twice as long as the best known “four” in its class also running under full this absence of vibration helps.

Let us Omaha, Distributors, THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 12, 1 to a question of fairness, does it hard- fy seem right in any way for him to present these pupils as his own after so short a period of study, when he presents them in numbers which they studied with their previous teachers, more especially when they are tal- ented pupils? R, Musical Notes. The following editorfal from the recent Musical Courler tells something of the sommunity singing plan of San Francisco: “S8an Franclsco is jolning enthustastically in the natlion-wide movement for the en- ouragement of community singing, and hus some very practical ideas on how to u‘ukt‘, the scheme a success. Redfern Mason' of | the San Francisco Examiner. tells some of { the detalls. He does not believe in the very loose process of simply calling people to- gether and telling them to sing. ‘Music is an art, says Mr. Mason, ‘the practice of an art requires skill, and skill only comes with practice under good direction. It 1s upon this well directed study that the com- munity singing committee of San Fran- cisco insists.’ The classes are open to all adults; no previous knowledge of muslc in roquired; a charge of 10 cents per lesson instruction will be given In lly will be made; unison singing of popular songs, espec folksongs, including the learning by h of chosen examples, both words and mel- odfes by the classes; in the mastering of the elements of notation and rhythm: in the progressive study of part singing, be- ginning with stmple harmonized chorals and part songs and progressing gradually to the singing of numbers from oratorlo and opers and unaccompanied madrignls. The concu rence of the singers with the responsl directors in the choice of musio will encouraged, #0 that the people may play large a part as possible in thelr own musical development. The classes will ordinarily be held in the public school bulldings of the city. The administration of the affairs of the organization iy vested in the committee called together by the Recreation League of San Francisco.” The Metropolitan club house, under man- agement of Miss Evelyn McCaffrey, will in- augurate a series of six concerts for the musical season, November| 19. Miss McCaf- froy hus had the whole club house attract- Ively redecorated, has added many new convenfences for the public and has se- cured slx artists who have recelved hom- age all over the United Statos as well as Europe to apprar here in concert. Oscar Seagle, whose appearance on November 19 marks the opening of the season, has a baritone voice that has attracted a great deal of attention In the United States us well as Europe.

Ellis of Boston, is to make his only appearance here at the Auditorium on Monday evening, December 4, as the third number of the Associated Retailers course. Speaking of a recital he gave in Symphony Hall, Boston, the Boston Herald said: “Kreisler's manner, like his play- ing, is always characterized by an air of simplicity, strength arid grace. It was so yesterday. Usually in the past there has been a certain personal aloofness about him, however, that has almost verged at times upon hau- teur, but yesterday there were few signs of this. The burning enthusi- asm for his art and the music of the moment, which he has heretofore re- pressed beneath an intensely calm ex- terior, seemed to burst all bounds, Without an instant or a trace of sentimentality, yet with ever glowing sentiment; without a hint of extrava- gance, yet with much more abandon than has been his wont, he infused a visible fire into his work that made all his playing memorable.” Reserved seat tickets can now be secured at Burgess-Nash Information bureau.
