subcommittee cracks an additional tax on
The argument used in support Of this tax
is that beer will easily stand 1t. The asser-
ticn is made that the retail price will not
have to be advanced; that the collars on
the schooners will be no higher than be-
fore. All Of which may or may not be true.
But the fact will remain, II the Senate bill
gees through, that, in order to construct a
bill to carry his additional beer tax, the
Senate in its revision Of the Houses work
reduced the rates on all the fine imported
drinks. VIII that be calculated to make
friends for the republican party among the
people this year or next?
This Is probably an utterly insignificant
point In the eyes of Mr.. Aldrich. The
brewing interests are of small consequence
in Rhode Island. At the fashionable water
side places In that state the consumption
of imported liquors of every sort Is greatly
In excess of the whole states consumption
Of beer. But the matter appears in a very
different light to Mr.. Hanna of Ohio, where
beer is most popular beverage, and to
Mr.. Platt of New York, who has a cam
paign ON hand this year calculated to try
his powers as a political captain to the
utmost. Neither one of those Senators in
this years fight will benefit by an increased
beer tax. however easy it may be for Mr..
Aldrich. with his legerdemain, to demon
strate its pressing necessity.

A Mighty Marine

1t Is hard for the average citizen to un-
derstand how the training enjoyed by an
omcer In the marine corps should especial
iy mt him to pass judgment on musical
matters The arrest yesterday of Prof.
Fancfulli. because his idea of proper selec-
tions for the Marine Band on Decoration
Day did not agree with the IDEAS of the
petty popinjay officer in command would
seem to show, however, that there Ia a
nltherto Cnsuspected musical course
through which marine officers are put. Yes
terday ii fell to the lot of one F. L. Draper
lieutenant of marines, to humiliate q
musician of whom Washington is proud
by sending him to barracks under arrest.
1t is presumed that after Prof. Fanciulll
was relieved Lieutenant Draper had full
swing in the choice of music The selec-
tions certainly showed the master hand of
a marine rather than the amateur touch
OF a professor, with a regard for appro-
priateness. The Marine Band went swing
ing out to Arlington on solemn mission
they went at the head of men filled with
earnest thoughts Of the dead: they went
to aid in the decoration of the graves OF
heroes and they played music of the light
est quickstep variety. They stood at Ar
hngton close by the dust of the departed
and the strain Of their music as II rolled
through the leafy arches was "On With the
Dance" they returned down the avenue
and their selections told the city in musical
numbers that The Picnic Was Over" John
Philip Sousa left the Marine Band primarily
because he found a constant friction be.
tween military and artistic ideas of music
The same friction seems to exist at present

How to lead an army band,
You must study up on tactics night and

You must learn to touch your cap

When a brave lieutenant tells you what to
play.
You must stifie your disdain
For the popular refrain
And let Mendelssohn and Schubert quite
alone.
You nay play most anything
II 1t only has a swing
If you don't your fault in prison you'll
atone.
