:
The fact that@the music teachers asso-

orchestra for their convention, Mayls7 g,
is: sufficient guarantee OF. its excellence.
Musicians are not inclined to overesti-
ate each others qualifications, and when
they agree upon an organization such as
this, the mere fact of their unanimity
speaks volumes for the: Boston aggrega-
tion. The orchestra will bring fifty select
players from the most musical city in this
country under leader whose reputation
is Of the best among conductors. There
will also be five vocalists in the concerts,
all soloists of well known excellence IN
the east. The programs will be made
up of selections which will appeal equal

SOME REFLECTIONS

In 1899 when the state senate was just
starting on a four-year term, 1t defeated
the gross earnings bill. In 1903, under
similar circumstances, the senate blocked
a taxation amendment to the constitu-
tion. "r. =
It is traditional that the senate is more
mindful Of the interests of the people
during the second session than the first.
This leads to the wish that the consti-
triton could be, construed as 1t was in
tended to read, SO that one half Of the
senators would come UP for reelection
every two years. The 1873 amendment
intended that, but it was poorly drawn,
and after the next apportionment Moses
E. Clapp, then attorney general, gave an
opinion that the senators elected were all
chosen for four year terms, and would
go out to office together. m -,
! It is not too early, to begin agitation
for an amendment to section "a, article
4 of the constitution to provide that one
half Of the senators elected in 1906 shall
be chosen for two years, and that ever
after one half of the senators shall go
out of office at each general election.
The corporation interests of the state
did not want a wide open amendment.
They preferred the senate amendment to
the house bill, but they preferred no
amendment at all to either one. They
are perfectly satisfied with "statu quo"
This fact was we'll known to the cor
poration friends in both houses, and their
influence. was, for, disagreement all the
time House members who held out
against the senate bill, and declared they
would rather have no amendment at all,
were honest in their belief and had some
good reasons for it, but they played un-

three hundredth anniversary OF the year
in which Shakespeare wrote the greatest

And It is highly probable that In the

So the play with e Danish hero would
