CONSOLIDATION NOT ACTED on.
Small Attendance at Merchants
League Club Causes Delay.

The proposition to consolidate the Mer-
chants League Club and the ST. Louis Re
publican Club was to have come up for
final action at the meeting called for last
night at the Merchants League Club quar-
ters, No. 2I21 Pine street, by the Committee
on Consolidation, but. owing to a scarcity
of responses to the call, the matter was not
officially considered.
After the meeting, which was presided
over by John A. Gillian. 1t was announced
that no business Of Importance had been
transacted and that the consolidation Ques-
ton will be taken up later on.
The merging of the clubs Is the idea
evolved by several Republicans who style
themselves the live ones" of the party,
who declared that the defeat sustained in
the last election was due to the dead wood
which numbered the Executive Committee
that managed the campaign. The live
ones were eliminated from the control of
the party last fall, and they believe the time
is ripe to impress upon the rank and file
that the salvation Of the party and Its
control of the city offices are contingent upon
their restoration to control of the local
management.
John B. Owen is the recognized leader Of
the 'live ones" 1t is said that In the pro-
posed consolidation Of the two clubs some
arrangement is under consideration to at
tempt to placate Filley and the Good Gov
ernment Roosevelt Republican Club.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATOR WANTS
TO REGULATE STATE MUSIC.
Introduces n Measure Providing for
Commission to See That Real Music
Is Taught by Real Musicians.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield. ILL.,. Jan. 2S.-Three peculiar
bills of particular interest to three very
different classes of citizens were introduced
in the Illinois Legislature to-day The
classes affected are the cigarette smokers,
the quail shooters and the musicians. The
latter by all means are involved. for Rep
resentative Parish Of Kankakee County
proposes measure to regulate the ''prac-
tice Of music in Illinois, To accomplish
this regulation a board of music commits
sioners is suggested, each member to receive
% day while at work, and secretary to
receive 81. 500 year.
1t Is promised that this commission would
greatly improve the kind of music taught.
and the kind rendered in Illinois, and so
educate even the rural districts that no
amateur would be endured who sang fiat
or played the piano without a knowledge of
harmony.
In the realm OF music, the commission
would take place similar to that Of the
health. The latter aims at preventing the
public from being subjected to the devices
OF ignorant quacks. The commission would
an examination and receive a license which
would be credentials and a guarantee that
what they teach is music, and not mere
sounds.
Mr.. Parish does not claim the credit Of
originating the idea 1t was the suggestion
Of Mrs Lillian Wiley Orebaugh Of the
IL.
baugh. in exploiting the measure, has writ
ten that there are State boards Of pharma-
cy, Of architecture. of dentists and Of horse
shoers. and that music is as deserving Of
board. The matter being brought to Mr..
Parish's attention. he thought It decidedly
worth while, despite the fact that such
measure relating to music is unique to the
State and the country at large.
1T struck me that had two kids study
ing music said he. "and that 1 didn't
know whether they were getting music or
not. I asked some Of my friends about 1t,
and they were equally at sea as to whether
their children We're really being taught mu-
sic. So think the bills all right. When
the people spend money they naturally want
to know what they are getting"
By the terms Of the bill one Commissioner
must be a violinist, one q singer and at
least two piansts.
The cigarette bill was introduced by Rep
resentatfve Stewart, and prohibits the man.
ufacture and sale Of cigarettes in the State
1t excludes jobbers, who manufacture to
sell outside Of the State limits.
The quail bill came from Eskew Of Frank
lin County in Southern Illinois. By the
mistake Of the enrolling clerk quail were
not included in the game law Of the last
session. The bill, II passed. will prevent
shooting quail in Illinois for five years.
