One Worshipped for His Complexity, the Other for His Simplicity ' (Written for The Saturday Journal.) Ittclinr.l Wagner, tho famous com poser, who tore tho ncienco of mimical construction into nhreds and mndo n bonflro with the frogmenta, succeeded in rtrouiriiijr tho attention of tho world mitl tho contornation of tisicinns. Tho groat Kichnrd built his inunlaal scores upon tho disorganization of and departure from tho generally accopted fdenco of hnrnouy as npliod to sound. JIo wroto tho famous Wagnerian music in tho faco of theories which de clared composition based upon such de partures us his wore creations of nolso from a disordered musical soiwo. Yot lhcsa very departures and fanatical musical descriptions nro what mado Wagner famous. Tho one great sorrow of Wngnor's llfo was that ho could not produce enough nolso. Musical in struments woro incapablo of producing tho volume and tho players too thick headed to intorprot his idoas. , l'erceiving no ono thoroughly under stood his music ho was compollod to play It himself, If ho wanted It proper ly presented. Ho would hlro an orches tra, drill and beat lifts Interpretation Jnto it until ho had tho orchestra nblo to play tho score vear onough so you fould dintingulsh tho music from pro vlously produced scores. Then hn would roiiennm ami reuearso ami then ro Jicarso soino moro. After ono or two of tho nightingale got an Idea of what ho was trying to bring out, ho then closed in on them with the ootra and drillod tho 'wo for a losg Hmo. Wagner discovered that paying a man or woman a salary didn't guars nUe any certain dogroo of interpretation, so ho wwi obliged to put on tho perfonnansa With a dUeomfortlnu realization Hint it was not going to bo uiulorstiuuUng ly produced. IIo probably ojpeoted too much. It was impossible that his singers and orchestra understood what ho understood, soo what he saw, hear what ho heard, feel what ho felt and do as ho would have done. Singers and orchestra aro doing today with uo and gusto what ho, tho groat Wag ner, failed to do, and that was to iiur- tiiic(eee fectly produco his operas. In f&shionr nblo New i'ork tho people go at 7 in tho ovenlntr and stnv until 2 in itm morning if they got tho romplcto per formance. Seat aro auctioned off to tho highest bidders and nt big money. Wagner is doing moro business than Hhakespearo. By Itiohard Wagner the world was sot on tiro and ia burning yot, and ho it was who dared to over turn nil generally accepted ' theories of sound in its relation to music. Wo mny bo compelled lator on to uso tho tornado, stoam-onglno and earthquake, punctuating with tho bursting volcano, to describo his music, but Wngnor wo will havo. Noting tho success of his nnmosnke. a new Wngnor has cntorcd tho flold. With groat insight our last Wagnor has taken tho opposlto method of his distant relativo in introducing him self. Hichnrd got into promlnonco by comploxlng, mystifying, rendering un intelligible, twisting, distorting and thon to try and do tho "simple" Wagnorian complexion and roar is like knitting a pair of speks in n lion's don. Itiohard Wacnor has dono it what will Charles Wagnor do with itf IIo can blnmo his relativo for much in lifo that isn't simple President Itoosevolt, aftor looking at tho present tariff and seeing 'ho oper ations of tho boof trust, foil an easy victim to tho Wagnerian idea, and is in favor of tho "simplo llfo" aB soon as Professor Wagnor can got it on the market. A bad fcaturo of tho scheme for simplifying life is that no In structions go with tho book. Accord ing to tli manual it is our duty to get simple. Wo all know how to get saved, and how to got rich, but none of us out hero in Oregon know how to get simplo. As a nation wo proba bly noed to get simplo in some respects, but -lis a rulo wo aro now so everlast ing simplo that wo can't hopo to cram in much more.

To nro duco complexity was his solo object. To nunlhlluto anything and cvorything which laid any claim to simplicity was ids llfo work. Uut Charles Wagnor, tho now idealist, pursues tho opposlto courso and is showing us a cryiug need for simplicity. Ho wants lifo slmpli tied. Music bolng pnrt of lifo, it is natural to suppono ho wants that aim pllelty along with tho rest of It. Hut who Is going to do it, and how is It to Do done, aro great questions.

Charles wo havo no conditions, or nro wo to Wagner has started a orusndo along tho attain tho simplo by uniloratnnillnir the tiro-complex that sepaialion is not practicable. Complexity frequently oncourngefl progross and advancement, and is not nlways bad in results. Com plexity should bo mastered, thon it bo- comes simple. Wo should not throw away our problems for tho reason they nro not solved honco still complex but should hoIvo tho questions involved and thus render thorn simple. Tho phonograph Is n very conmlox and mysterious mnchlno until it is un derstood and of nil tho groat inven tions on earth nono aro so simple as tho wonderful phonograph. Whore is tho simplo olomont wo nro to seokf Shall wo turn from our complex affairs lino of simplo living. Simple hnblts. simple eating, simplo drinking, simple thinking, simple walks and simple everything go to mako up tho idea. Ho complex? Once understood nothing re mains oomplox. Therefore, why shall we rather return to simplo language, sim plo thought, simplo works and simple " " " n "" "' "" """ "u P'o inougnt, simplo works and simple takes us nil as wo nro and asks no everything, if by earnest effort wo can questions.

We raise it by mmpmB tho complex. Mary Ann is simple. When sho goes to college she returns Mantnna Antion stto. This is complex. Bnt the llfo of MsrlUna Antoinetta is different irom that of Mary Ann.

Marl tana must have a piano, a chatclaino and gloves. Slio must sleep late, read books and study the fashion plates. She has tho hen moved away from her window. She wants new furnituro in hor mom. Sim wants a carpet on the floor, a stove and a comb and brush. All tliiifio thiniM are complox when eomparing them as requisites to her lwmloir full of calico wrappers. Hero this girlish complex life is a great ben- fit. When she gets so complex that she can't livo at homo any moro on aeeount of the simplicity, then it is time to open up tho Wagner battery. But so long as she takes it easy, it is a good thing for all tho family. The men folks will quit going to bed with their neckties oa and tho kids will bo made to tnko off tlioir hoots. Simplo living is a vory hard thing to do. It is easy to get a WTong im prosMon about what it means to bo simple. Carelessness gets into some simiile" clothes and parades around the country and is thought to bo the "simple life" at its perfection. In reality thero is no distinction bctweon a so-called eomplax life and n simplo life. Indsr complex lifo wo call a snake a head with n tail to it. whllo under simple lifo we say it it a tail with a head on It. To be simple moans to be yoHNdlf and yu are that now. ou can't get simple by trying to be som.'.me eUw or sesintllsto a foreign nature. No intention of criticising Mr. Wag ner enters thee remarks, but rather the striking cowutmsun it affords wlieu '" parallel the "simple life" of the present Charles Wagnw with tho nioa- umeutul magnitude of the efforts of the late Kir hard Wngner towards com plexity, ami y,t both the Waesers r idoN ..f the people.
