I KV YORK. Dee. II. (Special Cor
respondence.) One hardly knows
whether to regard the holiday sea-
Bon as satisfactory or otherwise, from tho
theatrical standpoint. Everything Is full
to overflowing at this season, as New
Tork is the center of attraction from
those in schools and colleges, consequently
the city is full of visitors, their jirin
clral object being, to use a colloquialism,
"to take in the shows." From the actor's
standpoint, perhaps, no one has put it
mor cleverly than John Drew, who, if
he had not been an actor might have
been a wriler. In speaking of Christmas
and the actor. Mr. Drew said:
The actnr time and leisure mu?t b
sacrificed to lu public to make an Amer
ican holidar even if that day be Christmas.
He e little o; Christmas as others see it.
The dar is likely to (lnd him far from
home, and differs Uttle from other days
ex-ett that he must work rather harder,
appearing in two performances Instead of
one. For my own part I have not seen a
Ne'e Tork Christmas In years.
But even for the actor the day ia un
mistakable, lie need not look at the cal
endar to be told when Christmas has come.
On this day of da the curtain rises to
ai'-loe an entirely new and distinctive
audience. There is no mistaking it. Th
holiday spirit la abroad. It beams from
Tow upon row of faces which fill the boose
from foottlthts to the topmost gallery. If
it be a comedy an actor is playing, his lines
win to as never before. The humor is in
fectloi:s. The house laughs and applauds as
aoes no other audience. IjCt It be a melo
drama and the audience will be found re
ceptive to eery appeal. As a rule, the
play has lost its novelty for - the average
theater-goer long before Christmas. The
greater rart of the audience has seen the
performance several times, nearly all are fa
T.iillar with it in a general way. But the
Christmas audience seems to liave forgot
ten eTyth!ng of the play it ever knew.
It Is never critical, never blase. And the
he!tday audience ia the same the country
ever. There are several holidays where
the observance Is largely local In character.
Anil so we find Lincoln's Birthday a great
occasion in Illinois. Thanksgiving in Now
Fngiand. while in other sections one or the
oilier may he little thought of. But Christ
mas Is universal. There is no mistaking
the Christmas audience from one end of
the coumry to the other.
A new play by William Gillette had itg
first performance under singular cir
cumstances in New Tork this week. It is
not common to see an important ' work
produced for the first time under charity
auspice, yet this is the manner In which
Mr. Gillette's "Tlcey" was presented
Fri.iay at the Liberty Theater. This play
has bern produced elsewhere under the
title of "That Affair at Boyd's." and the
reception which It earned on Friday aft
ernoon would give evidence that it may
be expected to make & popular success.
The story of "Ticey." a pitiful little
kitchen slavey, whose first Introduction
Is tnada by letting a -tray full of dishes
fa:; over the head of an unsuspecting
dicer. Later, we are permitted to un
derstand that she is not a slavey at all.
but In reality Kitty Cameron, an actress-J
with whom a young playwright has been
In love all his life. It Is the same story
of a couple, of which the woman has
made a succesa and the man has not. in
consequence of which he could not speak
and she would not. Kitty has induced
her manager to look at a play -which
Btephen Boyd has written, and he has
consented. providing the playwright
w-ould cut some of the long . literary
peeches. According to life, he refuses,
of course, and Kitty's masquerade Is due
to her desire to help him without his
knowledge, although the audience will
have some difficulty In knowing how this
will accomplish the end. She accepts a
position as slavey in the lodging-house
where Stephen lives and "Tlcey" Is very
different from, Kitty.
When Ticey breaks up the family tea
party by dropping the dishes the play
wright's haughty sister calls for the land
lady and demands that the slavey shall
be discharged at once. In the course of
conversation the landlady discloses the
secret Interesting to Mr. Boyd, to say
the least. Ticey has been acting scenes
from hi play between serving the dinner
and washing the dishes. Around this
jRzy; zAzy cTAA &a"
tho play is built and there is a very slen
der thread of coherence anywhere. There
is no apparent benefit rained from her
having g-one into service and there would
be none for keeping: the play in Its pres
ent condition on the boards. The only
features of attraction are to be found in
the farcical situations themselves and in
melodramatic moments which bring ap
plause. Among the Interpreters are Miss
Mary Ryan, who is appealing and sym
pathetic in what she does, and Wmchell
Smith, who Is exceptionally interesting
as the auttor.
"The Queen of the Moulin Rouae" is
the latest "show" which will probably at
tract those who expect spicy and ultra
French drama. But it Is on altruism to
say that much vulgarity can be tolerated
in France which becomes disgusting in
America. This play comes under thrft
head and offers little to attract play
goers of the higher order.
Interesting news concerning next sea
son is announced by Mr. Frohman. who
returned this weelt from Kurope. When
asked for his plans next season. Mr.
Frohman said:
During my trip abroad' I arranged tha
renewal of laas of three theaters In1 Lon
don and to make productions la seven the
aters In that city between now and April;

Royal Family;" the next three plava to be
written by Henri Bernstein, the author of
"Samson" and "The Thief." which will In

lier In "The patriot" In the Autumn.
I am leaving at onco for Chicago where
I am hoping to make arrangements to have
a theater built for me for the purpose of
malting original productions tnere for runs.
Paderewski will make a very short tour
in this country. He will play a few en
gagements in the East. This noted char
acter, quite as notable for his individuali
ties and peculiarities as for his art, never
loses an opportunity to express hfs ap
preciation of America and its political
life. It is strange, however, that a for
eigner should interest himself upon the
I&migration question In America, and
in a recent Interview with him In War
saw, he made the following interesting
and astonishing statements:
You see, it. is like mixing old wine with
new in your glass. You have a glass of
the best mellowed red wine, and drop by
drop you pour in some of a younger, coarser
vintage. : The color remains the same, for
when you hold It up to the light you see
no difference. But put it to your lips and
you lind the flavor Is spoiled. The bouquet
has gone. So it will be with my friends,
the Americans. They, are spoiling their
pure, rich, Anglo-Saxon strain with a new
vintage that conies from the waste products
of the old world.
It U slowly but gradually spoiling them.
No great or permanent harm has been done
yet, but it Is beginning, and If they go
on like that, instead of progressing, their
culture will retrogress and in a few years
they will find the pendulum has swung back
to where they were 300 years ago. The
Antjlo-Saxou race is one of the finest the
world has ever seen and the more thy
dilute it the worse It will become. It is
the only race that Is distinctively developed.
You see this in traveling from, the Continent
of Europe to England. It ts only on reach
ing the island that you find individuality.
Before, on the continent, all the narions
were more or less alike to you. Pome
had dirtier hands and dirtier clothes than
others, and there their Individuality stopped.
Not so with the Anglo-Haxona. They are a
magnificent race, and Americans ought to
guard themselves against this inrush of non-Anglo-Saxon
element.
Nevertheless. America is gaining In cul
ture every year. Nations are like men, they
begin to cultivate the fine arts when they
have satisfied the primal needs. America
has reached that stage when she longs for
the beautiful. I notice a difference every
time I go there In the people. In the towns.
Even in the smaller towns, with 400 or S00
Inhabitants, you Fee beautiful parks, monu
ments and statue.!.
The same progress is being made wltn
her music. America will be a thoroughly
musical country soon. I say "soon" because
she has not yet become so. A thoroughly
musical country is one that can boast of
two distinct classes of supporters. Very
few countries have these clashes. Germany,
for Instance, had thm more in the past
than In the present. These classes are rhe
musical composers and the musical consum
ers those who make music and those who
listen to it. In France you have only the
first class, men like Massenet. Salnt-Saens
and others. The only town whore music is
listened to is Paris. In the provinces it
Is ignored, and iu Paris - who-listens to It?
Not Frenchmen. but foreigners, . chiefly
Americans and English people.
In England you have not only those whft
flock to hear good music, but busy, culti
vated men who w!Il give up their spare
time to sing in a large choir or chorus. In
America you have many ardent consumers
of g'etod music, and. I said just now. splen
did orchestras. So far she has not produced
any composers of high" order; but that will
come.
EMTLTE FRANCES B AVER.
The Underpayment
of Clergymen
Suggestion: Thry Might Strike or Bfl
t.uenta of tha Church at lirge.
New Tork Times.
The richest church in tho world, as
It has been calleJ. listened to a ser
mon last Sunday which ought to have
kept the congregation awake. The
Rev. Jlr. Wilkins from Missouri, and
the secretary of the General Clergry
Relief Fund, said that the clergymen
are "idolised at 30, criticised at 40, os
tracised at 50, Oslerized at 60, and per-
-Jiaps canonized at TO." But meanwhile
they are paid on a system which "as
sassinates all earthly hopes and in
carnates despair." And he told of a
case where a curate married on $600,
became Incapacitated by overwork and
underfeeding, and had Ills allowance
reduced to $250. And he appealed for
a pension fund rising by $1,000,000 an
nually from $5,000,000 as a beginning.
A clergyman's education costs a mi
nimum of say $3000, and his working
years on the above schedule are not
over 30 at a maximum, and hardly 20
on an average. Interest on principal
and depreciation account on the hu
man machine demand on a purely eco
nomic basis more than the average
clergyman receives. This leaves un
satisfied the congregation s require
ment that the clergyman shall liv
up to a social position superior to irtos
of his flock's. Yet the worst paid o
the liberal profession Is crowded by
those so lacking in worldly mindednes
that they are incapable to exact the!
worth and are suffered to work fo
less than a living wage by hearers
who seek salvation at cut rates.
This is not an American peculiar
ity. The London Outlook announced
not long ago that 1000 "livings" were
to be Increased to $730, and some even
to $1000, from an average of $335. A
bishop's minimum was said to le $1
000. It Is hard to see what can be
done about the underpayment of the
humble servants of the Lord. Perhaps
thev might be counseled to be less
humble. They might strike or form
clergymen's union, although It 1
difficult, to Imagine them using such
resources of civilization as the boycott
and the blacklist. Perhaps they might
make the matter a subject of prayer,
either directly for the wherewithal, o
indirectly that their parishioners'
hearts might be touched. It might be
suggested that if the character of the!
calling dignifies and perhaps excuses
Indifference to earthly rewards in tnei
working prime, when they are past
work they might be regarded as guests
for their closing lives, not of their
poor and small parishes, but of the
great church which they serve, and
which should be responsible as a whole
for their care and maintenance. The
suffering concerns only the Individuals.

BY P. H. D'AKCT.
TIIEKE is being carried on at this
time a good deal of discussion In
the press relative to the obligations
of the pledge taken by Statement Xo. 1
candidates as members of tha Legisla
ture. L appreciate the sense of obligation
felt by those giving the pledge to keep it
by voting for that candidate receiving
the highest number of votes as repre
senting the "popular choice" for Senator.
I fully indorse the principle that men
ought to keep their word or promise In
good faith, where there Is a right on one
side to ask and on the other to give such
pledge, and that its retraction is seldom
permissible except under peculiar condi
tions Justifying it.
The method provided by the United
States Constitution and the laws passed
In pursuance thereof by Congress are
generally well understood, and their bind
ing force on the conscience of good citi
zenship is well recognizid. Briefly, it
may be stated that the primary law is in
tended to express the "popular choice"
for Senator, and Statement No. 1 is to
bind tl'.ose subscribing to it who shall be
elected to the legislature to vote for such
choice. To this Is added the mandate of
subsequent legislation requiring all mem
bers of the Legislature to vote for such
choice Irrespective of their political con
victions. It may be premised and con
ceded that a legislative method may bo
devised for the people through their par-'
ties, as is done in some states, to Indi
cate their party choice for Senator as
advisory to the members of the legisla
ture of their party, without infringing
any provision of the constitution or laws
or involving any violation of political
convictions.
The purpose of such legislation Is to
provide the means for the expression of
party preference for Senator and to rec
ommend him to the judgment of its leg
islative members for their approval. Xo
doubt such preference would have great
weight, and ordinarily would be Indorsed
by the party's legislative members. The
difference between such laws providing
for parties to -Indicate their Sanatoria!
choice and our laws, with its pledges and
mandate to vote for the Senator elected
without regard to party or the members'
political convictions, is very marked, and
involves very different questions.
Government through parties Is recog
nized as sound In principle and conducive
to an efticient administration of public af
fairs, and la ws of the characterindicated.
are intended to ascertain the party's will
and devolve the duty on its members as
officials to carry it into effect through the
force of party allegiance subordinate to
Constitutional duties and obligations.
The strife engendered by parties in the
election of Senator, and the corrupt
means employed to bring it about, have
led the people of all parties to earnestly
desire the adoption of some lawful and
practical method for the selection of Sen
ator, that would do away with such fac
tional fights and corrupt practices, and1
preserve party organization intact, as rep
resentative of party convictions, upon
public questions. It is thought that our
laws as adopted, are not the proper and
legal means to attain this event, as they
increase rather than do away with the ob
jections noted, and at the same time
puncture Constitutional provisions and
handicap one's political convictions. The
party's right to maintain its political con
victions and to enforce them through par
ty loyalty should only be obstructed or
defeated when the people's will is legally
expressed, and their decision has the bind
ing force of law.
With respect to our laws, there are three
important questions involved: First, the
right of the people as the constitution
now stands, to make a choice of Senator
that is legally enforceable. Second, tho
right of the candidate for the Legislature
to bind his conscience by a pledge to vote
for such choice, if he is elected and) after
he has taken an oath to support the Con
stitution In the discharge of his duties.
Third, the right to enact such legislation
as shall require all the members of the
Legislature to vote for such choice, irre
spective of their party or their party con
victions. This last need not occupy much of our
attention, for, unless the right exists in
the people to express their choice, and in
the candidate to give a pledge to support
It, there can be no "popular choice," for
the two rights are correlated. By the
Constitution of the United States, the
people liave delegated the right and! the
power to the Legislature to elect a San
ator, and until they shall resume such
right and power In a legal and Constitu
tional way, the members of the Legis
lature must elect their Senator by the ex
ercise of their own untrammeled judg
ment. Neither by legislative enactment
nor by pledges of Legislators, while the
Constitution remains unchanged, can the
Legislature be deprived of this right, nor
can the people in their primary capacity,
exercise It.
By their own deliberative act the peo
ple have debarred themselves from the
exercising of the right to choose a Sen
ator by delegating this function to the
Legislature, and as a consequence, there
can be no popular cnoice or senator
by the people, and without the legal
right to make such choice. It would seem
paradoxical to say there can be pledges
given, much less pledges that are binding
law or mornls. to support a cnoice
that can have no legal status or exist
ence. Besides, ir tne people nave no
legal right to make a choice of Senator,
'popular choice, as it is called, any
other choice expressed by them, what
ever be Its form, is only advisory within
party limitations, and includes no obliga
tion or pledge to vote outside of the
party for Senator or In derogation of
political convictions. If the people com
posing different parties, say Republican
and- Democrat, choose through legislative
methods to ascertain the choice of their
party for Senator, they may do so with
out objection, as the choice expressed
is only advisory and depends for its In
dorsement on party loyalty and convictions.
In cases of this kind, the principles
and policies of the party are In accord
with those entertained by its members,
and any retraction from . them without
sufficient reason creates distrust and
often expresses' itself In appeals to the
honor and loyalty of its members. But
cases of this sort devised only to ascer
tain the party's will and to secure Its
enforcement through part- loyalty and
convictions, (ran have no application In
law or morals while the constitution re
mains unchanged, to cases like our own.
which assert the right of the peo
ple to make a choice of Senator in dero
gation of the constitution, and to bind
legally and morally those members sign
ing pledges to support such choice. Irre
spective of their partyN or their political
convictions.
All attempt at evasions of the supreme
law by any device, even where some
laudable purpose may be back of it, are
In the face of public policy and in dis
regard of civic duty. Such evasions are
subversive in principle of constsitutional
rights and duties, and necessarily tend
to the corruption of public sentiment
and public morals. There can be no
justification in adopting methods to as
sert the "popular choice" for Senator in
contravention of the supreme law. The
way to secure a, Senator by popular
choice" is plain. The people are not
helpless. They can resume the right o
make such choice by an amendment to
the constitution, and until thij. is don
and the right withdrawn from the Legis
lator and resumed by the people, it is
not possible for thein to make a "popu
lar choice" of Senator, nor to enforce
such choice by statute, nor the Legis
lator to bind himself in good cons-.ence
or consistently with his duty and ni
hgiance to the Constitution to support
any pretended choice made by the peo
ple. The only requirement needed en
able the people to express their choice
at the ballot-box for Senator is an
amendment to the constitution. Tli!
would enable parties to select thei- can
didate for Senator, and the result ob
tained at the ballot-box would express
the "popular choice" without Involving
any delinquencies of duly or misrepre
sentation of public sentiment. It is -not
sound public policy nor pood public mor
als, even though there may be political
ills that ought to be corrected, to avoid
them by illegal methods or unconstitu
tional laws, and the giving public sanc
tion to such laws or method.1 is a se
rious menace to orderly government -il"!
liable to create precedents more dan
gerous to the public welfare than the
evil designed to be remedied.
How can the people ask candidates to
give pledges to support a Senator which
they have no right to choose, or candi
dates take pledges which they have no
right to give, to support such Senators?
If It be true the people have no light
to make a choice for Senator, as the
Constitution now stands. It is equally true
that the candidate has no right to give
a pledge to support a choke made by
the people. How. then, can tho pledger
bind bis conscience to keep a pledge
which he had no legal or moral right to
give, or which pledge t lie pledgee had no
lesrnl or moral rlci.t to exact? Where
the "popular choice" is only advisory. Its
adoption Ms addressed to the Judgment of
the legislator, and such choice involves
no disregard of the Constitution or vio
lation of political convictions. This "ele
vated talk" about honor, moral obliga
tions, etc.. to keep such pledce. or dis
honor and perjury, etc.. for "disregarding
It. Is wholly misleading, because It
teaches, under false pretenses and spe
cious precepts, disaffection to tho Con
stitution and disloyalty to civic, duty. It
is better and safer for all concerned to
retain their fealty to the Constitution
and retrace their steps before a bad
precedent Is established If any change
or amendments are desired to that in
strument, let the people. In an authori
tative way. make them, as by law pro
vided. Precept and example will then he
in agreement for the maintenance of
orderly government, as regulated by law.
In matters of purely personal conduct,
the public interests are not strictly con
cerned, except as they touch tho puhllo
welfare or affect public rights, and con
sequently they are seldom proper sub
jects for comment or critclsni. But when
the acts or conduct in question involve
official relations and public duties im
posed by the fundamental law. they
touch vitally matters of public concern
and are proi r subjects for public com
ment or discussion.
The election of Senators is to serve
the public welfare and to protect the
public interest of the state and Nation,
and the agencies prescribed by the Con
stitution to effect these oblecls through
them should be strictly observed and
pursued. Tnis is the duty of good citi
zenship. To undertake in disregard of
theso agencies to transfer their power
and duties to Hie people in derogation of
the people's supremo law tinder tho spe
cious pretense of a law admittedly un
enforceable, designed to impose on the
conscience of the well-meaning and un
wary. Is not only subversive or a consti
tutional function, but converts the Leg
islator into an automaton to register a
vote not his. and which may bj moral
perjury to his own political conviction
bv selecting a Senator irom nis punj s
political enemies, who would confederate
with them and exert his S -natorial pow
er and influence to obstruct and defeat
the principles and policies of his party,
as represented by Mr. Taft, which the
people in a legal and orderly way ap
proved and ratuieci Dy an over uemmis
majority, suen an ouituiuu tuuiu
possibly result from the regular and le
gitimate exercise of the powers 01 gov
ernment, but only from disregard of
them and disregard of political duty and
convictions, and as such It would not n
an expression of the "popular cnoice a
regulated by the paramount law, nor of
the public will as represented by the vote
legally and regularly cast. Tho argument
that the breaking 01 a piomisn jih -u
nullifies the method prescribed by the
Constitution for the election of a Sena
tor at the behests of public duty in com
riimra therewith, is bad moral, or per
jury, would seem to be the reductio ad
absurdum ot tne argument useu.
