THE LAST DAY.

This is the last day when Independent nomina-
tons for the House of Delegates may be filed with
the Board of Election Commissioners. Many wards
have neglected to repudiate the unfit party nomina-
tons by bringing out Independent candidates; bur
there is yet little time for reformatory action; to-
day remains for nominating competent Independent
candidates only to-day.
1t is deplorable that the respectable citizens of
those wards which are confronted with continued
Misrepresentation have taken decisive steps for
change In the House. A few wards have risen to the
occasion. However, the Independent movement is
not general it should be. In too many wards
there is manifest lack of spirit and interest in be-
half of improvement in the House.
Means are at hand, last resort, to choose the
better Of evils; and since the Independent move
ment failed to develop satisfactorily, the next best
plan will have to be followed. Those wards which
have put wellchosen Independent candidates in the
field should support the nominees with might and
main in order defeat the party nominees and elect
the Independent nominees who are pledged, by their
constituency, to a policy Of progress.
But in those wards where independent nomina-
tons have not been made, party distinctions should
be oberated and the issue fought the individual
merits Of opposing candidates. This, in connection
with the independent movement in three wards,
should result in q better House than st. Louis has
had in many years While the majority might not
be all that it should be, nevertheless enough Dele
gates, superior to the general will be elected to
put the House q higher level

lTALY'S RED BAND
AT THE ODE0N.

Persons who go to a concert because Of
q preference for the melody that marks
italian music should be well content when
they are favored with the Miserere from
I'll Trovatore," the intermezzo from" Ca
valera Rusticana'' and the Lucia sextet
all on one programme. for Verdi, Masca&ni
and Donizett at their best ought to satisfy
the most insistent lover Of sweet notes.
This was the case when the Banda Rosa
played at the Odeon last night under Con-
ductor SCREENINGS direction and, judging
from the demonstration which met each Of
these numbers, two of which were regular
features. and the other. the Lucia sextet,
an encore. the audience was well content
There were. besides. other familiar favorites
among the selections Of the evening, and
the relocated players repeated the favor
able impression made year or SO ago.
The programme opened with one of Sor-
rentino's own compositions, spirited
march. and this was followed by the will
liam Tell overture. A harp solo by SiGnor
Sevasta proved SO likable that two encores
were demanded-indeed. encores were as
numerous as the regular numbers, so friend
ly was the house and so obliging was
Signor Sorrentino. The first half of the
programme closed with the "Trovatore' Sc
lection already mentioned. and the second
half opened with the '.Cavalleria" inter-
mezzo as a trumpet solo, effectively played
by Signor Bottega, accompanied by the
band.
An offertoire of Battiste came next, and
then Miss Marcella Powell pleasngly sang
the gavotte from Massenet's ".Manon," and
followed the bands example by promptly
giving an encore number in response to the
applause of her first. The final number on
the programme. a selection from Giordano's
Andre Chenier,' was well done, and the
RED Band then rose and played the
"Star-Spangled Banner. the audience also
rising in recognition of the national an

throughout. The Banda Rosa will give
four more concerts at the Odeon. matinee
and evening performances Monday and
Tuesday.

THE NEW MOTIVE.

ST. Louis has begun to take on the air of conf
dence which from the realization that it stands
in the shadow Of greatness. Now never before
the rapidly undertaking promise of things to come
seizes upon the people and breeds conviction, which
means enthusiasm.
It would be too much to say that the city lacked
selfconfdence for in the past 1t has always mani
tested something like unshakable faith in those things
to which 1t actually laid its hands 1t has not been
faltering city at any time IN its history; know
no such thing here as abandoned undertakings. II
the city has had fault 1t lay in the fact that it
dertook too little.
Perhaps the most conservative city in the United
States St Louis INDUCED Just pride in its conserva-
tisn, and preened itself upon reputation for solid
wealth and substantial wisdom upon its exceptional
financial and the that it had avoided great
mistakes.
When some years ago. our notorious rivalry for
size and numbers with Chicago was put beyond ques-
ton BY the tters annexation Of popuous and prac-
tically unlimited suburban territory, we fell behind
with rather good grace and consoled ourselves with
the reflection, in which have been justified that
at least should escape the evils attendant upon
sudden acquisitions OF area and population.

OF excessive conservatism, that we have gone fur

chance from local enterprise, that ultracauon has
resisted growth and expansion. This ID the harshest
criticism offered against the ctys course and It has
come only from outside sources. Were 1t entirely
well founded, st. Louis might make ready answer
that at worst it had erred only clngng too long to
q wise, prudential policy.
Persons thoroughly familiar with inside history
and conditions do not by any means admit the JUS
