ing. The negro question is no longer
an issue in the State said Mr.. Brad
ford. and man can now afford to be
independent in politics, without any
fear of social ostracism. Our Repub-
lican friends in the North don't seem
to learn anything from experience.
AS long as the negro was an issue
and the Democrats in the South helped
the Republicans in the North TO keen
the issue alive, just so long could the
Democrats count on solid South. But
now, fortunately for the Southern States,
the negro by State legislation has been
removed from politics, and we who be-
lieve in Republican principles can
breathe easier. We can't expect to make
much Roadway at the coming Congress
s1onal election, but we will show our
strength two years hence and we will ex-
ercise much more power at the next Re
publican national convention in the shap-
ing of the platform, and the naming of
the ticket. The negro question hasn't fig

Pritchard has opened the eyes of the
people on the tariff question. He has
forcibly pointed out to us the bene-

tariff. The South is now rapidly grow

people will insist in protection to our
raw material. The Democrat in North
Carolina who advocates free raw ma
terial will have to take a back seat and
give way to the man who will pledge
himself to vote to keep the tariff on
raw material.
This sentiment is not confined alone
to North Carolina, but has already at

Duss a Modest Director.

Duss himself created very favorable
impression. He does not display any
medals-if he owns any-and he prefers
to cling to the traditions of the best
directors of the past, rather than in
dulge n acrobatics or poses after the
fashion of so many OF his contem-
poraries. He has his band in fine con-
simple wave of the baton.

geniuses and the hop skippity- jump
man, not TO mention the conductors
whose ''mannerisms" are accepted In

Duss is a great relief. He has the best
lot of musicians of any of the large
brass bands that have been heard in
Washington for long time, and it is a
pity he was not accorded a more liberal
patronage on the occasion of his first
visit TO the Capital City.
However, there is comfort in the
thought that Duss is millionaire. who
likes music for music's sake, and the
matter of a small audience once in a

rest; and again, as he said yesterday

WOULD MAKE 1T A CUSTOM

Bandmaster Duss is engaged in tn,
commendable task of making thu
American people become more enthusi

country-that is. if The Star-Spanglet
Banner" Dixie Marching Through
Georgia" and similar compositions car
be called national airs.
AT the Columbia Theater yesterday
afternoon Duss made his first appear
ance locally as director of q
large body of musicians, and in
response to a general demand
for an encore to Kings Pas
toral Fancy" he played the American
Patrol" When 1.-The StarSpangled
Banner portion of the piece was
reached the members of the band arose
and Duss waved his baton for the audi
ence to get on it's feet, and in a moment
the entire gathering was standing and
remained SO until the last bar was
played.
Then, when the applause had sub
sided, Duss made a few remarks and
said that he proposed to make the
American people get on their feet when
ever they heard any of the national airs
of the country. 1t is something Of
heroic task, he admits. but says he is
going to strive until he gets results.
Audience Was Small.
The Duss concert was not a success,
judged from a financial viewpoint, for
the Columbia was not one-quarter filled,
but every person present attested to the
merits of the hand by persistently ap-
plauding each number and remaining
throughout the program. OF course.
mere handful of people cannot make
much of noise, but Duss recognized
