Mr. Becker is an artist with mission His
style is that which makes the viooncello a solo
instrument to be listened with gratitude. It's
true field that of sustained song. and with all the
ornate adornments with which the ingenious melo-
dies of Haydn trtcked out, such was the
skill of the player that they all sounded like song

MORAL EFFECT OF 1T.
From The Baltimore News.


AS bearing the future OF Cuba itself the
other hand. the decision may be regarded having
a very important Significance, for this unanimous
opinion OF the Supreme Court reaffirms IN the
strongest manner the obligation OF the United
States to secure to Cuba absolutely independent
government. 1t is the moral. not the legal effect
of this reaffirmation that have in mind. 1t
would, presume, be quite beyond the power of
the Supreme Court 10 hold the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches of the Government the faithful
performance of promise made by them In regard
to foreign country; but the pointed recognition
by the Court OF the binding nature of that promise
must have powerful moral effect
