Ifcsea ay ther Is not, Shakos- ars ays there 1 not, ani s - Solomon say there ia not. We can very well follow tn the Musical -. Courier by saying thers Is not Nothr Jng good 'can be had fin less you py for It i ome form or oth'er The foV Joking letter from the office of the fish cornraissios of the state ef Illinois, In Urbano, refers to this matter. ' Julius B, Cohen writes. Tour recent remarks regarding the Justness of a. musician being paid at all times for his services are . Imbued with more good common sense than anything X have seen hereto fore In a music Journal. . Jo write the editor' of the" Musical Courier.' ' . .- .1 know' someone who goes s far even aa to i fall to appreciate gifts from friends e have found them or have received thera first as glfts.1 That may be stretching a point bU .the eaon is there-r that It does not have mone- : tary value to the giver. 8he argue that the value of a present lies In Its value to the giver; that this value does not exist or Is very small If .the giver has found It and so has sacrificed noth ing to obtain It; and that It iaeven less If It has In the - first place been a gift and the receiver has not valued It highly enough to. retain It or te ask its price.1- ..i . . - . t . , . It Is the same principle -'applied to imisle that makes people give of their talenta Tpu will find as a general rule that the best singers and players .- do not perform for nothing even 1 If "they are thus prevented from parform Itii! at alLi A : trader who values his wares will retain them against some day when, they will bring what they are worth rather titan sacrifice' them ' for tiothlng because they can not, com mand anything. Not even In the time of his financial stress wiil be sacrifice them for nothing if he-tan help It for he will realise that later -this will de- . teriorate the value of his .-wares. A singer who, under financial stress will , give her: stock . In trad for nothing, will later i hev 'a liarder time to In stall herself -among those who can com mand their prices. Her former cheap nees will always, be rememberti a.nd held against her. And one la likely to think, as doe my friend, that any thing given away so lightly was found at no cost or was a- gift of little value. A i person whose training has Inourred much thought or expense- thinks twice before she will give away the results for nothing. .; ."-'.:.; This subject has been discussed be fore on - this page, again and agatn but it' Is a matter thai can be treated often,, for advancement cornea so slowly. As has been said before, one's trained talents are one atoak in trade lust as la the case f a merchant 'Just as a merchant .will not give away his stock for nothing merely for- th chance to have hie goods moving, so a dealer In- talents wlu nov or should not. It is bad tor trade; It is unfair for com' petition. But there are times when a merchant will give someththg for charity; when a grooer.wiU give flour ana potatoes ior some goou cause; wnen a drygoods man Will give bolt of cloth for the poor. 'That is chanty, not a cheapening of one's wares. It Is after all a mean, or legitimate advertising. jna me case witn musician is parallel. HS Mrs. Walter Reed,; Soloist With Portland Symphony Next Wednesday. That, too; is legitimate advertising. And say that in no way detract from to the generosity of the deed.- For It may be done In pure love of humanity but uu wig ict, remains- mat it is gooa advertising. '- ls -, And musicians hou!t advertine for - trade Just as do merchants.. It Is only right that If the accomplishments of tlielr throat or fingers are -salable commodities thev should let the publio know that. the use of these commodities war be had for a stipulated sum. And it is only, good business to try to se . cure sales. ... m, .. The Courier suggest that tbls ques tion could be more easily solved If musicians - were organised. Orchestral f 'layers are organized but that is, I He leve, the only bunch of musicians that Is organised. Of course the absence of organization ia due to the many who "do" musio. Aimoot every .girl of any edu cation In America can sing or play a Jlttle. : Men are faat reaching the same ' stage. That U right a.nd as it should be, for a little knowledge of musio add to one' enjoyment of music. But these people With a little musical knowledge are often an evil to the pro fessionals. Because, there are so many there 1 no organisation. It ta the same way as with -newspaper writers; there can be no organisation because anyone can Write, maybe well,- maybe' indiffer ently, maybe badly, but anyone can write: and there is no organisation pos sible because there is no distinctive line to draw as In the trades which require actual training. But still there, could be a sort of unwritten-law system among professional In music, that nothing should be done for nothing. If this were a regular -thin I. and those who would not sing or play without the monetary equivalent became known, soon the list would grow. Publicity is Deeded in sucn a matter, reopie wouta be ranked according to their presence on or off the list of payable musicians. And if It were tmbliclv known people who now are constantly endeavoring to ret their music for nothing and throw ng out all kinds of bait about future engagements and the like, would be ashamed to be known as getting only the non-payable upon their list. That Is American pride they wish to be known a paying for what theyjget'and pa vlna- for the best It really would be an Interesting: experiment anyway, and some enterprising musician who feel strongly on the subject of cheap usurper coming in might start such JISl, JUSI to see vrai woum uajjpcu m those musicians who try to get the publicity by gift that they cannot get with payment , 'i The following program waa given by pupil of Mrs, Walter Reed -at the last meeting of the Tuesday afternoon club: "On the Shore (Neldllngar), Miss Vera Parker; "Cwo Ulo Ben" (Qlordani); n du Meln Holder Abendstern" (Wag ner), Henry O.

Hickle; "Du Blst Wie Elne Blume" f Schumann): "xou iovea me Time oi Violets' (Loehr), Miss Grace Campbell; "The Willow" (Bauer); "Hene wacnt" (Herman), Dr. George Alnulle. " . The subscriptions to Boston's perma nent opera gain steadily by a few thou sand each day, according to the last re port. . The entire sum so far pledged 1 190,000. Jt is generally knowr.that Henry Russell of the San Carlos opera company will" have complete charge of the artlstlo side of the scheme. Mr. Russell ' has . been planning with the body of directors as to the opera tions to' be-carried out In the building arrangements, and the result Is that one or more of the directors Intend to spend the coming season in Europe for the purpose of studylna opera house meth ods In France, Italy and Germany. Final report state that Constantino ha been engaged aa the chief tenor of the new company. Those who were charmed by his beautiful tenor when he sang here list year will be glad of this recogni tion.

TAR SPANGLED Sentimentalism in Song. , - Some of the readers of this page may recall a comment of soma length re oently written on The Star v Spangled Banner' as a national hymn, Tba argu ment was put forth that the song IS unmelodlou and unmusical, hard " to sing and trying to hear because of the silly construction and broken Intervals. The Courier seems-to agree with the writer, even If the Women's clubs of New York do have. a different Idea, due to sentimentalism. The , feelings In spired by the hearing of 'this song are not du to the music, but to the asso ciated Ideas, and "Piggy-Wig-and Piggy- wee;- wouia maxe one a Dlood tingle in the same 'manner had it been, iuiii un der the same condition for many years. Here 1 wnat tne Musical courier thinks of this sentimentalism: "In Now York Federation of Wom en's clubs ha had a bill introduced Into the stats senate by senator Page to "prevent the abridgment or' emascula tion of "The Star B Dan cried Banner"- in the books and musio In use in the pub lio schools of th state of New York.' Section 1 provides that no book, text book or sheet musio which contains the national anthem shall be used In any public school In this state unless (Continued on Page Seven.) WELL RECEIVED. .

Forest Grove's representative lntelll- frsnce and culture assembled last , night n Masonic hall to listen to Portland's girl planiste. This event had ' been looked forward to with great interest Inasmuch as It afforded the first op portunity to many to learn for them selves of the wonderful achievement In teaching of Mrs. Emma B. Carroll who brought Miss Batchelor out after lees than four years' study. Much was ex pected since Mra Carroll's fame has already reached us, but with awe and wonder the audience listened as one after another, gems .from the world's classics fell from Miss Batchelor's fin gers. - - t The progrant anensd jwfth , Chopin's Prelude, Oi.

To have de veloped the power to make felt the subtle, ethereal baauly of- this cradle song, requires more than finger dexter ity, more than power or delicacy of tone, more than beautiful phrasing, or sympathetic pedaling; to all these must be added an inner comprehension of things, sublime and spiritual, and what better than this "Berceuse,, with the C minor Etude telling of such sadness and laying bare the profound and in tense emotion of a great soul, could have shown Miss Batchelor the pos sessor of all these musical attributes. The -waits, with its excessive difficul ties, rendered with smoothness and sen sitiveness to rhythm, closed the Chopin group.
