FAD IN VOCAL MUSIC :

, The woman vocalist who cannot sing in
the. German tongue is voted as being
way behind the age" now in society. To
sing in German is considered the most up
to-date of vocal performances. The old
feat of singing in Italian which was con-
sidered a great one by the society a gen
Grafton ago, gave. place to singing in
French and now to singing in German.
:! It: is not so easy for the novice to ac-
iquire the artHof singing in German as it
is to master the words Of an Italian or
French song. but the ballad of other com
position possesses a charm and attract
,iveness so peculiarly its own when rem
Sdered in: the original tongue that the re-
suit Is therefore ample compensation for
the special effort made by the singer
Vocal teachers, many Of them, no win

songs in the original. "A well known in:

"THE MINIATURE" sTATuETTE By MRS GEORGE F. BAckus

Among the interesting pieces Of recent
work done by Mrs. George F. Backus, the
talented Minneapolis sculptor, is stat
uette called 1.-THE Miniature" This is
char1ningly modelled in strong but grace
full lines and with a happy touch Of senti-
rent. Quite as much spirit has been put
into the small pieces as into a life-sze
work and the sculptor finds the working
on small scale and in a delicate way
very. fascinating. She has been making

some interesting experiments in this
field and will continue them, on the adj
wise of her friends and of art critics.
An especially interesting quality of
"The Miniature which is on exhibition
with the collection of prints and water
colors at the Brooks shop this month is
the transparent, airy effect of the drap-
cries. The drawing is firm and fine and
the face is full of character. A high re-
lief medallion Of a gypsy is also shown
and has been attractively colored.

ON THE INDIVIDUAL

Iowa City. Ia. June IA feature Of

Hoar of Massachusetts,, who said in
part
THE fate of the nation depends on the
last resort in individual character
Everything in human government like
everything in individual conduct de-
pends in the end upon the sense of
duty. Whatever safeguards may be
established, however c0mpliated or well
adjusted the mechanism, you come to a
place somewhere where safety depends
upon somebody having the will to do
right when it is in his power and may
seem to his interest to do wrong. When
the people were considering the adOp-
tion of the constitution of the United
States, one Of our wisest statesmen said
that the real and only security for a
republic is when the rulers have the
same interest as the people. If they
have not constitutional restraints will
break down somewhere. except for the
sense of duty of the ruler.
All elections depend upon this prin-
ciple- You may multiply election off
GERS and returning boards: you may
provide for an appeal to courts of first
or last resort, but in the end YOU must
somewhere come to point where the
sense of duty is stronger than party
spirit, or your election is but a sort Of
fighting, or if not that a sort of cheat
ing. The same thing is true of the in
dividual voter. or of the legislator
who is to elect the senator, or the gov
ernor who is to appoint the judge or
the executive officer. or the judge who
is to interpret the constitution or stat
ute or decide the case. or the jury who
is to find the fact. On these men de

them has to make that choice Each

The great single purpose of moral
education must be to induce the will to

ConstantinopIe, June 1.-THE sultan
has warned Madam Christinch, mother
of Milan, son of the late King Milan Of
=Servia, to carefully guard her son. She
is advised to keep her son in the house
and not to allow him to appear on the
streets. 1t is presumed that this advice
was the outcome of fears that an at
tempt may be made to murder young
Milan, although It is not believed that
there will ever be any prospect of his
succeeding to the throne of Servia.

congratulation to King Peter was con-
sidered a public expression f the un-
qualified favor with which the proclama-
ton of King Peter was received in off

tremely unlikely in view of the attitude
of the Servian people that Russia will
support the suggestion that the powers
should demand the punishment of the
assassins of King Alexander and Queen
Draga.

Governor Bailey Issues Special
Session Proclamation.
Will Meet at State House We'd
nesday, June "a.
ONLY ONE PURPOSE.
Specified That It Is Necessary
for Bridge Legislation.
Session VIII Probably Be Very
Brief.

The legislature will assemble in To-
peka next Wednesday, June "a. Govern
or Bailey's call was issued today
The purpose is to enact special legisla-
ton which will enable the counties and
municipalities to rebuild the bridges de-
stroyed by the food. No other point IS
covered in Governor Bailey's proclama-
ton and it is expected that the work OF
the legislature will be confined to this
single feature.
1t is, therefore, probable that the ses-
sion will be a very short one and it
may not continue more than one day.
The only thing that must be done is TO
provide for bond elections for the con-
struction of the bridges and this is
especially imperative in Kansas City,
where eight were destroyed and the two
Kansas Citys are effectually sundered
except for the connection by ferries.
In Shawnee county five bridges wera
destroyed, but none were directly IN To-
peka and it is therefore less necessary
that they should be rebuilt at once.
Governor Bailey's proclamation calling
the legislature together is as follows:
State of Kansas. Executive Dept.
Proclamation by the Governor.
Whereas The recent floods have. IN
addition to the destruction of vast
merous bridges. the immediate rebuild
ing of which is imperative but for
which no adequate law exists, thereby
bringing about an extraordinary Occa-
sion within the meaning of the consti-
tuition authorizing a special session or
the legislature.
Now, therefore. I. ". j. Bailey. gov
ernor of the state of Kansas, by virtua
of the authority vested in me by the
constitution do hereby convene ths
legislature of the state of Kansas in
of Topeka on Wednesday, June "A. 1907.
at ? o'clock p. m, for the purpose Of
enabling counties and other munici-
palities to build necessary bridges.
In witness whereof. I have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be affixed
the great seal of the state, this 18th day
of June. 1908.

than promise not to discriminate The
