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.

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.

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

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?
Musicaf Notes.
The following editorial from the recent
Musical Courier telle aometMnf of the
community elnglns plan of San Francisco:
"San Francisco ti Joining enthusiastically
in the nation-wide movement for the en
couragement of community singing, and has
some very practical Ideas, on how to make

the details. He does not believe In the very
loose procesR of dimply calling people to

an art requires skill, and skill only comes
with practice under good direction. It Is

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."
Reserved seat tickets can now be
secured at Burgess-Nash Information
bureau.

is some 530 per acre, yel after paying
this, they have a nice net profit. The

"In addition to the profit on the

as they yield about $5 per acre as a

to the cattle and sheep feeders and
the supply is nowhere as great as
the demand."

WAR EXPORTS ARE
NEARLY A BILLION
Quarter of Foreign Trade for
Last Nine Months Munitions
and Other War Supplies.
HALF BILLION EXPLOSIVES
New York, Nov. 11. Exports of
war supplies for the nine month end
ing September 31 amounted to $997,
970,000, or more than 25 per cent of
the country's" total export trade for
the period, according to figures pub
lished here today by the Journal of ,
Commerce. The value of explosivea
sent to belligerents was more than
$500,000,000, and automobiles, horses
and mules, metal working machinery
and wire ranked next in that order.
According to a table published cov
ering war supply exports since the
movement began in January, 1915,
their value for the twenty-one months
was $1,617,845,000, or about 22 per
cent of the country's total exports.
More war supplies were sent abroad
during the first nine months of this
year than throughout 1915.
