A STATE UTILITIES DEFICIT.That state ownership Bad operation of

public utilities do not nlways assure theiuost satisfactory results Is again prettydearly Indicated by the experience ofthe phone service of the Australian>tate of Victoria Banter federal control.Dewa to tatee years ago the service was< Otsfueted at a yearly profit of morethan ?I<JO,OOO. but in 1907-*OB the profltwas less than $4fi.<X>o. and in l!*l6-'<»tlieiv was Ideficit of $35,500. This de-cidedly unsatisfactory state of affairsis said to be due to a new system ofchargea BBd a< counting which the gov-ernment official-" have established, butthe government experts Insist that theOSteai is the be«t possible one and theofficials seem determined to retain It.

Itdoes not appear that there has beenany such reduction In the cost of theservice to the users of telephones aswould compensate the state for thetransformation of a comfortable sur-plus into an awkward deficit Indeed,it Is not certain that any such com-pensatl >n would be adequate, since theBWettng of a deficit for the sake oflow tolN would In effect be the taxingof the whole people for the benefit ofa class —

to wit, the users of telephones.It micht well be argued that it wouldbe more equitable to put the serviceon a sclf-sustaininc basis nnd let thosewho have the good of It pay for It.

THE rEOri.E a\d "r/./.vr/7/v.."

If President Taft's administrationlacks popular support that fact is n re-flection upon the capacity of the Ameri-can people for £elf-£ov?mnient. If itfinds the people <-<o]d it Is becauso the

'people have not the power of sustainedinterest In the great projects that only

a few months ago filled their imagina-tion. The present administration under-took the task of "clinching" the work ofIts pn«decessor. of fillingin the detailsof v <>ur>e that was only resolved 8808in bVOBd onUine«, of applying the lessonsof ex|«erlenee to the p*>rfe<-ting of poli-

i«>s that had been only recently under-taken. Itwfls an indispensable work.

I^t us illustrate with the subject afconservation. The last administrationwithdrew and reserved to the public im-mensely valuable lands thai were orwnto private appropriation. And that endedIts w< rk But obviously that was onlythe iw-glTiniug of conservation. It mayhave performed the part that was mosteasily apprehended and that api«e:i!e^l

most Mrongly to the imagination, \u25a0 Buta Bete hoarding of the vast undevelopedteooarce*. of this country is unworthy ofn practical people. Seme way mu«t befound to put to use the great BMBettleareserved for the public. Shall they besold foe what they are worth? Shadthey be leased, rigl.t aad title to themremaining forever in the possession ofthe pe..p]p? Shall tbe nation enter upona iii'istic experiment and developthese resources itself? These are onlythe broad questions that must be an-swered.

Is itto be conceded that the nation exhaustsits capacity for interest in and attentionto \u25a0 srreat problem in a burst of en-thusiastic acclaim at the Initiation of anew p<<llcy?

We take conservation to illustratewhat has been done and what is to do,what "clinching" means. Almost as muchmay be said regarding the regulation ofinterstate commerce. The country h:isgot further here than there, but again,the details have to be worked out— th*painful, exact and exacting details thattry the souls of enthusiasts, dreamersand Idealists. Has the nation no headfor de-ails? Is it Incapable of sustainedInterest In tbe latest expressions of thenational purpose? So. too, of the trustproblem, and perhaps even more so thanof conservation, for even the broad out-lines ere not co apparent here as there.

MOSBY A\D BUSINESS.

Stock market prices continue to movewithin narrow limits, the volume ofbusiness representing little beyond theoperations of the proferslonal element.Fundamental conditions governing theactual worth of securities do not encour-age the liquidation of investment ac-counts, but considerations based uponvarious uncertainties in the general sit-

uation serve to hold capital back fromnew ventures, while the position ofmoney and uneasiness over the possibil-ity of a Supreme Court decision against

the American Tobacco Company *nd theStandard Oil Company restrict specula-

tive transactions to unimportant totals.The bond market Is congested with amass of new securities for which at themoment there is little public demandand which have had the effect of de-pressing the quotations for seasoned Is-sues that may now be bought to returna fair income on the investment, though

the yield ls not large In comparison withthe cost of living, which is becoming

more of a factor in the financial markets.Shipments of gold from New York to

London are telling on the resources ofthe local banks, a reflection of which ls

found In higher rates both for call and

Bank clearings are heavy and rail-road earnings continue to improve, buttrade reports, nevertheless, show irregu-larity, with moderately active industrialmovements In the East compared withrecord business In the West. Jobbingand wholesale trade, except In sectionswhere weather conditions are especial-ly favorable, la somewhat lighter thanhas recently been recorded, but on thewhole the course of our Industries Ismarked by greater activity than at thistime In either 1909 or 1906, comparisonwith the latter year being particularlysignificant, as in that period business ex-pansion wai most pronounced. In thetextile market high raw material costsInduce conservatism In buying. The pri-mary drygooda markets are quiet anduninteresting. Exports of cotton goods

to the Philippines have increased mate-rially, and since the enactment of thepresent tariff regulations shipments haveamounted to i!0,000.00»> yards, against6,000,000 yards In the correspondingtime In the two preceding yearn.

Speculation In cotton futures la nowmore active than it has been at anytime since the first week In January,with prices apparently slated for lowsrlevels. Beneficial rains in Texaa havebroken the prolonged drouth in thatstate, and recent fears that this year'scrop would be as light as that of 1908have been dissipated.

ing th" door wide open for the perpetration

of hundreds of others.The fifth mistake was In forblddlns" po-

licemen entering places where the law Isbeing violated for the reason that. If al-

lowed to enter, "It is Inevitable that they

will be bribed to Btaf out"

On this theory

pollcrmen should not be allowed to arrestburglars and other criminals, because thesemight bribe the former not to do so

Tha sixth mistake was In declaring thatbrcnu'e the liquor fax was a state law. the

state authorities only should enforce it. Ifthis is loKi< •!. nearly all our criminal laws.Bsdaslng those against murder and burg-

Inry. aif beyond the Jurisdiction of thepolice. Ir Is very cl^ar to thos- who have

made a study of the subject, that the stateauthorities have not the money nor the fa-

cilities nor the force r.or the inclination t">pay any more SSsSaCtSB lo th" enforcement01 UH excise law than they are doing now,

which a n<)t much . and tb.T if the law Isnot to be he il by f!ie police. Itis not tobe enforced at all.

The sevrnth mistake was In admitting

that the problem which 1,.»<1 worried all for-rrer anayors was too much for our pres'-ntadministration, and In shirking responsibil-ity by shifting It to the shoulders of orh» rs.

Ti:«' elphfh mistake was In not taking a<lf -ide.i s'mii on th*» Sunday laws. ar.<!matntSfßtßS that tb>y should be »nforcelor that th*?y shoTild b« repealed. As everv^body knows, the quickest why to swcuth th»repeal of had laws is to enforre. th#m.

The ninth mistake was In ordering po-Octmsii carefully to watch the front win-dows of >ons to see that th*> law Is notlieing rlolated, t.'.f to keep away from Thesiile doors. This order Is so transparent asf'i r";-i!rt- no analysis, because it is gener-aiJy known that the law Is soldam violatedat the window*, but Is canstantly vlolat?dat the siiii >'.<>< rs.

•»n'h tnist;»k<» was !n sdmltting thatthe svaay of peaea was corrupt and beyondionfro!, an i'bat he could not so organlz4th^m that they would enforce all laws wt»h-o>it f^ar or favor.

TSjafsa agree with you with regard to thelady you co llasstf apostrophized. Bh» wasduhbed "a nim»l»«n, rnw amateur" In tho*©<la-. Why? Because she was unknown?Hardly. Ithink. But because fhe waa then,as now, a natural, human artor. Thisshibboleth, "amat'ur," has been the warcry of all the dramatic critics aner.t ourrepresentations ever since, and I'm b»*in-nfng to gel tired of It, as It tends to »mptymy "houses" and deprives many people, soIthink, of the great advantage of B»etn<a Kreat deal of natural acting and somevery beautiful plays. After all. It Is. Itakett. the point of view. This is mine, st anyrate: I've had a rood many years' experi-ence, a» actor, manager, producer and

teacher (ns all prrxJucers are), and Idem'tbelieve I'm an impostor st all thes* trades.With a combination of the four Ifancy Imust know something. May Itherefor*say here that Iam responsible, to a larg«extent, for that particular style, or method,

or expression, that Is prevalent upon mystage? Ido not allow my actors to be-have like roartns bulls or human windmills.Inever allow a false quantity or condone awrong emphasis or pronunciation nor thatundue Importance to the personal pronounby voice and gtsturs so common upon our«<tn*es. At. the same time, Icertainly pre-fer th- human reading of a character tothe scholastic. Iventure to BSBSSI ouraudiences over here are bred on traditions

—a good many of them bad traditions—they, as wll as some of the critics, expertus to shout— calclumed— over the footlights!

Renlly. sir, the assumption that becaus*people do ehave Ilk©human b*lngs In thepoetic drarr.a. they are, as actors, amateur,

hi ajretasajaa At least three-fourths of my

plnyers ar« people of excellent experience.

Inever have "amateurs" rlpchtly so cal>d.At the present moment In "The Tempest"

there 1« or.ly one actor who has had lessthan ISSOa years' experience, and Irnt

him out of one of th- rec«nt Broadway suc-eaaasa Any professional critic or any mem-ber of an a'ulience Is at liberty to «xpres«en opinion, but Ihardly think It Is Just to

put such r'atements into the public presswithout s-jl'Stanttation. Acting is, after all,

a mntt^r of opinion. Amtrteurs. after all.ar« panMBM eras act tai the lnve. n<>t furthf> rewards, of it. There art1 amateur act-ors, painters, musicians, danot-rs. cooks a?i«l

chauffeurs. just a* srood. p.isslhly. as paidactors, etc. Men or women cease to b«» ama-teurs hff they BOCOSBI professionals. It

is undoiiht-ilymy flstefortune that so manypeople prefer aaaaajasatal aai overcoloreUiictine, because Icannot see my way to

THF WRIGHTS' COVOBBBIOV.The rontmct Just entered Into by the

Aero Club and the. Wright brothers Inregard to the internntlonal aviationmeeting to be held In this country nextfall ne<ds no defence. On several occa-si.ins the Dayton inventors have showna lreltimate desire to protect themselvesfrom Infringement of their patents.That was the meaning of their BUltagainst the Horrlnjc-Ourtiss companyand of thflr appllcntion for an Injunctionto prevent Pauihan's'use of certain for-«'i?n machines. It Beemed altogetherlikely that they otild resort to Judicial\u25a0caM to embarrass other aviators whomight engage in the proposed contest inAmeri<M. provided, of course, that Jnthe monn time the courts did not decld©that tbetr claims were partly or whollyunwarranted Consistency demandedthat they should Kay to the Aero Club,under whose auspices the meeting Is tol>e l.«Md, that they would not agree inadvance to nl.stnln from interferenre. A<v>mpromi<»« was reached, therefore, bywhich the club Is left at liberty to goahead with its arrangements, but whichmakes It obligatory on participants totake out licensee from the Wrights,

After all. the concession made by theOhio avlntors Is really a graceful one.Th«*y :ire not showmen or sportingmen. and they have little or no sym-pathy ulfh ra.-os for prizes. In thismatter the Wrights exhibit their amia-l'i'lty.not for the tirst time.
