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:

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

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

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

(From Forest Grove Times, April 18.)
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

Then follewed rtrts GfioBln "Berceuse,"
more than 'uli other (compositions, 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.
