TIE FIGHT BEFORE US.

NEPORTS OF the plans OF the promoters Of the
~ project for obtaining appropriations from the
National Government to provide irrigation for
the arid regions OF the West have gone East and the
press OF that section has begun express opinions
the subject These opinions are what might have
been expected. The Eastern people. TO considerable
extent, at any rate, will oppose all efforts to provide
Tor any comprehensive scheme OF irrigation and il
is clear we are TO have hard fight and probably
long fight before we win.
The Baltimore American, in speaking OF the plan
calls it a project for wasting money, and says: 'No
matter has been carefully worked up than this
irrigation crusade. Congress has managed thus far
resist the onslaught upon the treasury but these
men are very persistent. They are well organized
all through the arid West and Southwest and in some
parts that are not arid They ask that the Govern
ment shall build waterworks an enormous expense
rrigate large desert tracts and convert them into
productive farms. No proposition like it has been
made TO any Government in modern times The peo-
pie who settled the East and made II blossom as a
thought OF asking the Government to grub
up the stumps put up fencing or to do any other
thing that would contribute the profit or security
OF farming, nor did the people who went from the
East settle the mighty West ask their Government
10 stake them"
Such IS the attitude OF large proportion OF the
Eastern people toward the movement for national
irrigation Il is regarded there as scheme 70 tax

SECOND RECITAL OF
THE HOLMES QUARTET

The Holmes quartet gave its second
concert at Century Hall yesterday after
noon. The feature OF the programme was
Brahms piano quintet in + minor, Arthur
Fickenscher acting as pianist. While 1
believe Mr.. Fickenscher 10 be a soloist OF
considerable abillty-particularly in the
technical line-I hardly think he is fit FOR
ensemble work. His attack is too VigOr-
Gus and the various shadings are there
fore not brought out strikingly enough.
Brahms requires delicacy and emotional
execution which Mr.. Fickenscher unfortu-
nately lacks. Ensemble work is a gift by
itself and must be inborn rather than ac-
quired by practice. Henry Holmes him.
self is a splendid executant and seems 10
discover the spirit OF the composer. Thus
outside of the piano part this quartet re-
ceived a good rendition. although at times
the ensemble work was not quite as clean
as IL ought 10 have been.
But the quartet redeemed itself IN the
Beethoven quartet in c. The allegro
motto movement was executed with a
dash and power inspiring in fits fervor.
This was. according 10 my idea. the best
work done by the quartet so far II ala
not only show that the members OF THIS
body are musicians but that thev are
absorbing with effect the healthy ideas
OF their leader. This last quartet alone
established for this organization a posi-
tion which will give IL prominence in the
musical field. The vocalists on this occa-
sion were Misses Beulah George and
Zueletta Geery, and Fred MaureT acted
as accompanist. ALFRED AIETZGER.
