PUBLIC WANTS TOO MUCH MUSIC.
COMPLIMENTS COL. GOETTING.
Practical Politics has this to say about the fifth
election of Col. August H. Goetting, of Spring-
field, to the executive council of the Governor of
Massachusetts. Col. Goetting, as the trade knows,
enjoys the distinction of being the "largest music
jobber on earth." The article covers over a half
page, with his photograph, a part of it being:
No member of the executive council emerged
from the recent conflict with greater political
prestige than Col. Goetting of Springfield. In fact,
he was probably the only member whose prestige
as a vote getter was enhanced by the recent elec-
tion. Most of the other members got by with re-
duced pluralities and some of them had pretty tight
squeezes and not all of them had to encounter a
bull moose as well as a Democratic opponent. Yet
Col. Goetting, despite the fact that the bull moose
candidate for councillor in his district polled 9,300
votes, won out with the very comfortable plurality
of 6,000 votes. And, mark this, he was running for
a fifth term, something that has not been accorded
an executive councillor within the memory of fine
present generation.

George Edwardes, whose fame as manager of
the Gaiety Theater, London, is world-wide, in a
recent discussion of the difficulty in keeping pace
with the demands of .patrons for lighter forms of
entertainment, said:
"Public taste has altered in rriany ways. There
was a time when one big musical number would
make the success of a musical play. To-day half
a dozen at least are necessary. Musical plays
would not have grown and continued to be so pop-
ular if we had not gone with the times."
