THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 12, 1916. 9 B ) V EDITORS ALWAYS ARE GOODJATDRED Not Even the Horde Which Swooped Down, on Election Night Could Peturb Them. BUT ANYHOW, COME 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 tilings 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 wa when thev rushed to the com posing room with sheaves of dis patches. Yet never a "peep" did these good-natured editors give. They just kept smiling and even answered Questions. This doesn't refer to you, my dear sir, if you were in the ottice. Wt;e always glad to see you, even on busy, buzzv election nights. But did you notice those other fellows standing around? 1 hey re the guys I reter 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 ureevy ana 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 earth excent the editors. Their in terrogations, argumentations and ex clamations filled the ottice. "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 leadina member ot the f nuosopm cal club. It's a case of an irresistible force meeting an immovable body when an Economic leaguer and a Philosophical clubber get to argify- inc. Thev auote the supreme court and Henry James and Magna Charta freely and neither ever convinces t'other. 'How's th' 'lection going? gasped cadaverous voune 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. 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 suspense. "Say, George, can't you move your convention back, away from the desks a littje?" one of th? 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 wnat would have have happened if this had been behind the scenes, in- a theater or anywhere else than a newspaper office. It makes me so But, no, I want to be just as good natured as the tel. ed., the man. ed. the citv ed. Come in again, gentlemen. Always glad to see you. Cold Weather is , Forecast for Week Washington, Nov. II. 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. SAXOWSIX" A BIO TOURING CAR FOR 5 PEOPLB The Smoothest Running Car It can be fairly said that Saxon "Six" is the smoothest, quietest, most flexible car in the field. To dispute this would be to question facts. With a 2' crankshaft and a score of detailed refinements in the motor, vibration and friction have been practically dispelled. And with these gone the life of the motor is largely lengthened. 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 load. In other phases of performance, too, this absence of vibration helps. It makes gear shifting a thing of the past save in rare cases. Saxon "Six" is $815 f. o. b. Detroit. Let us give a demonstration to show how supple and able a performer this new series Saxon is. NOYES-KILLY MOTOR COMPANY 2066-68 Farnam St. Omaha, Distributor!. ft MUSIC u 11c: 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 and financial standpoint. 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 thef 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 be given, many of which are in the course of preparation. In order to properly support all these artistic events a large musical public is re quired. 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, n6r 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 the question bobs up about how 'ong a pupil should study with a teacher before the teach er is fairly justified in putting hiin upon a pupil's recit&l 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 a better or worse teacher than he 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 justified 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 ot using tnem. 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 6f technical mastery in the difficult places and interpretation had been done by him. But when it comes WILL SING AT METROPOLI TAN CLUB COURSE. Ogcae SEAorr to a question of fairness, does it hard ly 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?

PULLMAN MOTOR CAR CO. YORK. PA. KREISLER PLAYS HERE ON DECEMBER 4. Fritz Kreisler, who is making a tour of America this year, under the direction of C. A. Ellis of Boston, is to make hi 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'i manner, like his play ing, ia 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 ligns of this. The burning enthusi asm for his art and the music of the moment, which he haa 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."

The tonnage of beets raised in western Nebraska this year is a record. Many of the farmers are receiving as much as $100 per acre (or ihe crop, and I heard of some in stances where the grosa receipts would be $1.'5 per acre. Beets are running around live and six tons per acre and the contract price is $20 per tun. The expense of raising the crop is some 530 per acre, yel after paying this, they have a nice net profit. The two factories will pay out close to $2,000.01) lo the beet growers. "In addition to the profit on the beets, there is a big profit on the tops, as they yield about $5 per acre as a feed proposition. The tons are sold to the cattle and sheep feeders and the supply is nowhere as great as the demand."
