Chicago Record Herald, the recent an- nual message of Governor White of West Virginia is the most formidable docu- ment of the kind produced in recent years "It is claimed by the people of West Virginia that Governor Whites s message is the longest on record. A few excerpts from this state paper wan dered over nineteen columns of an ordl- nary newspaper The Record-Herald esti- mates that the message, printed In non- parel type. would reach from Red Bank, N J., to What Cheer, 1a." In point or mileage Governor Whites exhaustive effort Is probably unrivaled. The Record Herald advises Governor La Toilette, who produced a message of 45.00O words, to begin his next message at once, 1T he wishes to enter the lists with Governor White with any hope of success.
 One of the secrets of the late Speaker Reeds success as statesman was his brief and incisive speech. He rarely made long addresses. Occasionally a governor s message Is model of brevity. Such eff forts are likely to be read and to com mand public attention. Some years ago the British house of commons adopted a resolution declaring that the duration of parliamentary speeches was increasing and should be abated. The resolution passed by a majority of sixty. The evil Is not modern, however Gladstone on a certain occasion recalled that Palmerston spoke on an important bill from the dusk of one day to the dawn of another. " Gladstone, always forceful, occupied five hours in speeches on the budget It is said. however, that Disraeli and Clad

IN THE INTEREST OF BREvITY.
A Massachusetts Precedent Which May We'll Be Generally Followed.

From the New York Times.
 The Massachusetts legislature passed law last year creating a board of edi- tors. composed of state officials, whose duty 1t is to reduce the size of state de- partmental reports to reasonable limits. These publications are growing more and more bulky, and Massachusetts has taken the initiative in correcting an abuse which prevails to a greater or less extent in all the states. The tendency toward prolixity in all government reports Is marked A board of experts In condensa- ton who would perform their labors with judicial severity, and impartiality would materially reduce the cost of printing the reports and hasten their publica- tion.
 The messages of the governors are in many instances open to the criticism which applies to state reports. They, too, need merciless revision for the sake of brevity and force. According to the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-02-25

stone rarely spoke over an hour on the most serious themes. The mover of the house of commons resolution referred to declared that a pariamentarian should be able to present his argument on any subject in an hour.
 The American congress has not been outdone by the British parliament in the output of lengthy speeches. In this head long age terse and concise state paper or public address has decided advantage over such an amazing effort as that of Governor White of West Virginia The Pail Mall Gazette. commenting some years ago upon the old-time speeches in parliament. said that our British fore fathers had an institution known as the "fuil-dress debate, which they used with unsparnG copiousness."

band, is one of the most modest of men, yet he is sufficiently celebrated in two hemispheres to rightly take unto himself the privileges of eccentrieity and genius. He speaks broken English and is on the best of terms with his musicians all Of whom seem to idolize him. Every time l they pass or address him they salute and without even a suggestion of compulsion in the act Sorrentino is averse to talk ing about himself; what he has done or l what he intends to do; indeed he tries to avoid discussing topics that to the average public man, would be sweet and favorite subjects for conversation. He is married His wife is a chs ming little Italian woman, refined, graceful, stylish and petite. Her love and admiration for the husband cannot be concealed, and his tender consideration for her is just what one would expect from the model hero of a perfect love story.
 Sorrentino is tremendously fond of Wagnerian music, and no engagement lasting three days or more is without Wagnerian programme. The Banda Rossa is at it's best In "The Ride of the Valkyries." the overture of "Tannhaus- CT" and fantasies on "Lohengrin," "Sieg- fried" "Parslfal," etc., although many people believe the band rises still higher in Sorrentno's unique and masterly ar engagements from 'LAfricaine," Car men" Aida" I'll Trovatore," Bohemian Girl" "The Chimes of Normandy" Faust" Boltos '.Mofistofele," Givedanos "Audrae Chenier," Pussin's La Boheme" and La Tosca." These arrangements are superbly scored and they must be heard to be appreciated. Puccini, after reading Sorrentinos score for the great fantase on La Tosca," sent Sorrentino a letter complimenting him in warmest terms on the beauty and skill of the arrangement, and he also added that he would recom- mend that all Italian bands use Sorren- tino's fantasie, which Is to be published with the hearty indorsement of Puccni 1 himself.
 Thus 1t Is that the Banda Rossa pro- grammes have an element of novelty. The players being natives of land known to be musical, they interpret these oper- atic scores with a depth and beauty of feeling not possible to band of any other nationality. The singing tone, the singing theme, always is dominant. A great band, the best in all Italy, Is the Banda Rossa. l Its opening Is a distinct musical event.
