Show protection for musicians. well-recognizc- Several musicians have suggested recently that the new Philharmonic Guaranteeing association, organized to bring great musical artists to Salt Lake, should broaden its scope. Their idea is that it should occupy a place similar to that of the bar association in the legal profession, the medical association among the doctors, and so on. The object of these organizations is to protect the profession from within and from without, hut especially the former. For years the local musicians have gotten along without observing any especial need of sucITtan organization, but within the last few months they have begun to feel much like the captains of a fleet of merchant vessels might a century or so ago, when they saw a long, low, rakish craft move toward them and open fire.

Now it is stated that such an example is having a bad effect. Other musicians are beginning to wonder if it is necessary for them in looking out d II for themselves to employ the methods of a brigand or a Machiavelli. There have been other violations of the code. The musicians of standing are uneasy over anything which looks like the spread of this spirit. They feel that something should he done to protect the honor of the profession and to save it from the buccaneers and conspirators. regardless of sex or ability. The problem Is serious, involving moral questions which a church may not consider, as well as the practical It is worthy of one of careful consideration. self-protectio- n. --o- CAL1FORNIA FOR HOMES.
