at the Omaha Auditorium October 23

The name Campanina has for many
years been familiar among opera
lovers of the United States. First
was Italo Campanini the greatest
tenor of his time. Then came Cleo
fonte Campanini, Italo's younger
brother, who has done much to ad
vance the artistic side of grand opera
in this country.
It was the always astonishing Os

FARMERS FAVOR
FAIR WAGES FOR ALL
President Pope Sayi Trainmen
Already Draw More Pay
Than Any Other Class.
FARM LABOR IS UNDERPAID
New Orleans, La., Sept. 9. Henry
N. Pope, newly elected president of
the Association of State Presidents
of the Farmers' union, today gave
out the following statement further
defining the views of the organized
farmers on the eight-hour day law
recently enacted by congress.
"The farmers stand for a fair wage
to both labor and capital engaged in
handling the products of the soil from
the time they leave the hands of the
farmer until they reach the ultimate
consumer. This applies not only to
transportation, but to all industries
engaged in serving the agricultural
interests of this nation. We favor
an eight-hour working day for all
those who labor, with as Urge com
pensation as business conditions jus
tify. "For my part, I question the wis
dom of congress fixing wages of labor
employed by private enterprises- I
doubt if it is in the interest of either
labor, capitol or the people to make
the wage schedule of railroad em
ployes a political issue.
"But be that as it may, we have
passed that legislative milepost and
organized labor now stands com
- mined to government regulation of
wages and congress has thrust upon
the people of this nation a new re
sponsibility. Since the people are to
fix wages, at least of railway em
ployes, every citizen should diligently
study the subject
Suggest Wage Scale.
"In my opinion, the next session
of congress should readjust waes of
all railroad employes from railroad
president to section laborer, giving
all a square deal and fixing a sched
ule of pay based upon business justice
and human rights. I submit a sched
ule of wages taken from the official
government reports which present
conclusive evidence of the inequalities
of the present daily wage scale of
railway ; employes: General officers,
S16.ll; other officers, $6.49; general
office clerks, $2.53; station agents,
$2:37; other station men, $1.99; en
ginemen, -5.28; firemen, $3.23; con
ductors, $4.49; other trainmen, $3.11;
shopmen, $2.37; trackmen, $1.59.
"If government is going to fix
wages' for any one class of railroad
employes, it should fix them for all
classes, and if it has power to in
crease wages, it must also have the
power to decrease wages and congress
should review the comparative in
equalities between the different
classes of railroad employes and make
such adjustments as wisdom dictates
and do it without fear or favor.
' Trackmen Need More Pay.
"I want to make a special plea for
the 350,000 section hands who walk
their beat in storm and rain and
whose brawn and brain make possible
our great transportation systems.
Their compensation is not sufficient
to feed and clothe their families and
their bright-faced children are sen
tenced by American civilization to a
life of ignorance and poverty. Next
to them is that class of underpaid
clerks, station employes, shopmen
and others whose loyalty and faith
fulness to the hand that feeds them
and whose consideration for the pub
lic welfare entitles them to recogni
tion by congress. These employes
are as important, as efficient and as
loyal as many of She higher waged
employes and their rights should be
reviewed by congress.
Farm Labor Prices Lower.
"And last, but by no means least,
there is one class of citizens whose
condition is worse than that of the
most lowly laborer, and that is the
farmer. We have in this nation
6,500,000 farms, and they yield the
farmers who operate them, accord
ing to a recent bulletin on farm in
come issued by the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture, $1.47 per day,
out of which must be paid the liv
ing expenses of the family. There are
4,500,000 male farm laborers in the
United States who make $1.35 per
day and 1,500,000 women farm la
borers who make 78 cents per day
when they board themselves, and
out of this meager earning they must
care for those dependent upon them.
All those who work upon the farm
labor from twelve to fourteen hours
per day. The condition of women
laborers in the field today, is worse
than it was during slavery. Then all
women working in the field were
black, and now approximately 75 per
cent of them are white. 1 quote from
a contract for a negro woman dur
ing slavery as follows:
"Twelve months after date we prom
ise to pay to or order, one
hundred dollars (In gold) for the hire
3-
when Hammerstein organized the
Manhattan Opera company of New
York. It was-this indeiatisrable ec
nius, Cleofonte Campanini, who bore
tne responsibility, not only of plan
ning out the seasons, but of achiev
ing those remarkable results which
ended by waking the Metropolitan
Opera company from the letharsrv
in which it had fallen and putting
it on the plane ot the better opera
houses ot turone.
The entire artistic direction of the
Ellis Opera company has been placed
in the hands of Mr. Campanini. His
will be the work of preparing the
operas, the chorus, the orcnestra, the
ballet, as well as the principal sing
ers, and he wilt have oversight over
alt the performances. Omaha, which
the Ellis Opera company will visit
on October 23 and 24 as a part of
the Associated Retailers' course, of
which George Brandeis, Louis C.
Nash and C. C. Belden is the com
mittee in charge, will profit greatly
thereby.

of the negro girl, Clara. We also
promise to furnish said girl with
board and lodging, three suits of
clothes, two pair of shoes and stock
ings, one blanket or quilt and bonnet,
and pay all her taxes, state and con
federate, for the year."
Women Field Laborers.
"The leased slave. barring unavoid
able accidents, was to be returned in
as good physical condition as received.
It is safe to say that there is not a
woman laborer on the farms today
who would not consider herself for
tunate to hire out on such a basis.
A slave woman was well fed and her
children were cared for bv her owner,
but the sweet-faced children who play
around the knees of the women who
work in the fields today must be
supported out of the earnings of the
tired mother. Since then we have had
twenty-five sessions of congress and
the color of the woman laborer has
rapidly changed from black to white
and their number has trebled, but
their wages and hours of service have
remained unchanged. Not a word has
been spoken by congress in defense
of the woman who rakes the hay and
gathers the sheaves, and little has
Been done that has increased the in
come of the farmer or enabled him
to pay a higher wage to his laborers.
But today we find the highest paid
laborers in the world making three
times more money than a farmer de
manding: a 25 oer cent increase and
congress hastening to their relief. This
increase must, in the end, rest upon
the bacsk of the farmer and will re
duce his income, increase his hours
of labor and call for another levy
of farm mothers from the home to the
field.
"The farmers of this nation mit
fight to hold what thev have and ret
what is rightfully theirs from govern
ment, ana we must do it through or
ganization.

WRITER In the Dramatic
A I Mirror approaches the old
m I question of the relation be
tween the newspaper and the
theater from a new anile.
He dilates on the course to be pur
sued bv the msnifrer of the future.
who is to free himself from anything
like adverse criticism bv the simple
expedient of doing away with the crit
ics. This new manager is to approach
the advertising department of the
newspaper, just as does a dry goods
merchant, or a patent medicine man,
and buy so much space for so much
money, and in it to display the at
tractiveness of what he has to sell.
If the newsoaoer wants anything at
the theater, it will buy It. Through
this simple arrangement, easily to be
attained, the editorial department of
the newspaper will be entirely di
vorced from the theater. Just how
soon this ideal condition is to be
attained, and whether it is to become
universal at the- outset, the writer
rlnftn't make clear, but it mav be
inferred from the general tenor of his
remarks that it will be approached
gradually.
y
Speed the day I Any time the theater
managers of the United states teei
thev would like to go on a strictly
business basis with the press, they 11
find the newspaper managers wining
to meet them half way. In these
days of paper shortage and high cost
of material, the columns of space now
given to telling what is going at tne
thaatpf. tn nrintinv cuts of Dlavers
and scenes from plays, could very well
be uillzed for other matter, perhaps
as important and as interesting, pr
else the paper could be saved. In
the meantime the manager would be
spared the expense of his high-priced
press agent, some stenographers,
mimeographing, the making of photo
graphs and the like. Thus both sides
tr t Karo-ain would orofit. What
wmitrl the manaser miss? Not much.
Under present arrangements, for the
cost of two seats, that frequently
would not be sold, he gets for his new
production from one-half to two
thirds of a column of critical review,
of a nature that he could not buy
from a reputable newspaper for any
sum of money. At ordinary adver
tising rates, the amount of space de
voted to the ordinary review of a
first night amounts to several times
th nrir of the two seats given over
to the critic. Of course, the noticej
often doesn't please the manager, ii
it is honestly written, the last person
considered was the manager. But.
aside from this, the good notices will
quite balance up with the bad, and
the manager gets an even break on
that score. Not all shows deserve
praise, as even the manager will ad
mit, nor will praise from critics
always save a show. The people whtf
buy the tickets have a way of decid
ing that for themselves, and no means
is known of telling in advance what
the public verdict will be.
So the newspapers will really be
gainers when all space used by the
theaters Is bought and paid for. How
will it affect the theater ? Try to
think what the situation will be when
newspapers and magazines cease to
illuminate their pages with illustra
tions and articles, telling the gossip of
the stage, the intimate doings of the
great and small actors, and carry
only such stuff as appearsi under
the caption, "Advertisement." And
here is another point to be kept
in view when making up a judgment
in the case: The writer in the Mirror
said the manager would be able to
say what he wanted In the space he
purchased. Nothing of the sort; ad
vertisements are censored in news
paper offices quite as closely as is
news, arid sometimes much closer.
The manager would find himself held
within rather rigid bounds when he
came to extolling the merit of his
wares, and might find out that much
of what he complains of nowadays is
not merely due to a whim or caprice
on part of the editor, but is really
brought about by one of the funda
mentals of publishing. A newspaper,
to be of service at all, must have as
high regard for its own character as
does an individual, and this regard
must extend to its advertising as well
as its news and editorial columns. The
manager would Surely find himself in
contact with this condition. How
ever, when the manager! feel it will
be to their advantage to adopt this
policy, they will meet Very little op
position in the newspaper offices.

Sonic real old:tlme Spanish gayety J
of
pi
mona, the magnificent cinema-theatrical
creation of Helen Hunt Jack
son'i noted story. One festivity in
particular and oer which hangi a
sweet, sad memory ever after, is that
of the wedding celebration of Gen
eral Felipe Moreno and the beautiful
Hermosa Gonzaga (afterwards the
conspicuous "Senora Moreno" of
the play) at Santa Barbara. The early
morning scene at the fine old mission
here shown, where Father Salvier
derra, then in his prime, blessed the
Indians that came from near and
far to take part in the gayety and to
present their simple but picturesque
wedding gifts; the realistic preparing
and devouring of the genuine barbe
cue; the splendid bridal procession
and the pageant of color and move
ment, said to represent the most bril
liant event of the kind that ever took
place in Spanish California up to
that time all combine to form a
pleasing sight indeed. It was at this
joyous wedding that handsome Angus
Phail, the courtly and wealthy, young
shipowner, met lovely Senorita Ra
mona Gonzaga, the beautiful sister
of the bride. And it was at the hap
py marriage feast that Angus stayed
so closely by her side and wooed
tv.d won his Spanish queen. ' Ra
mona," the wonderful pictorial pre
sentation, it given in this orolonue
and two full acts. It is accompanied
by a grand symphony orchestra and a
choir of mission singers.- it win be
the exceptional kttraction sit the Bran
deis theater for a limited engagement
beginning today, matinee.
s)

tion dances. Diversity is one of the
chief elements in the European
novelty to be introduced by the Wer
ner and Amoros comnanv. jugglers
and musicians. The dog phenomenon,

Lallen and May urson, roner

let corps and Madame Chilson Orh
man, the prima donna soprano will
be seen here soon.
If you were a lover of the good old
fashioned melodramas that were writ
ten to provide an evening's entertain
ment rather than to discuss white
slavery or a sex problem, then you
will like a brand new play by Edward
E. Rose, "The Little Girl That God
Forgot," which will be the attraction

daily matinees. In it the heroine,
Nancy Barlow, is not forgotten, for
in the end she wins everything that

placed on the stage in years. She is
a sort of combination of Peg of
"Peg o' My Heart" and Judy of
"Daddy Long Legs." John J. Bernero,
the producer of "The Little Girl That
God Forgot," has given the play a
fine production. Miss Cecelia Jacques
