St. Joe Critic objects to Topeka
Writeup. 8

AAeS~
Miss Helen Lyon, st Joseph. nu-

criticism of Mime. Schumann-H eink's
concert in Topeka. for she wrote the
following which was printed in the St.
Joe News:
papers dealt very fairly and kindly
with Nine. Schumann-Heink on her
appearance here at the Tootle last
Friday night, and she completely won
and held the audience by her great art
and charming personality. However.
musicians of this part of the country
were grieved and shocked to read the
notice of her concert in the Topeka
CAPITAL on the occasion of her recital
there. There is a whole column taken
up in making unkind remarks about
the singers personal appearance and
little is SAID about her art and singing.
Big headlines describe her as an Artist
Who Waddles," as Broad, Large of
Girth and Homely to the Point of Ugli-
ness She is called the 'sVillage tom
boy" and such witty names Nothing is
said of the wonderful dramatic quality
of her voice and singing. Her great
range is. left unnoticed and para
graphs are devoted to the way she
crossed the stage.

reputation for being a musical town,
but its press is poorly representing the
spirit of its people if it allows such So
called criticisms to appear. 1t is a sad
violation of the ethics of musical criti-
cism when the personal element is al
lowed to enter in. Especially in this
case was it fiagrantly unjust Madame
Schumann-Heink is woman of I'M
usual size, but she does not ''waddle."
If she did, it would have no place in
criticism of her singing. Madame Schu-

and has a native, dignity which refutes
all such cheap titles as Village Tom

that this part of the country and its
feeling in the matter of the great singer

that a false impression will be given,

The Red Cross of Japan.
PROFIT BY AMERICAN LESSON.

wv OMAN is forever chief and
wv inseparab1e factor in the war
fare of nations. The Red
Cross knows no friend, nor foe,
nor does it recognize the word enemy
In Japan the Red Cross Society is under
the patronage of the Empress of Japan.
During Japan,s war with China some
thing like ten thousand women volun-
teered to go out as nurses to the front,
and this number has been increased for
service in the present campaign. There
is no more efficient hospital service in
the world than the japanese, for they
have pro6ted by the knowledge of
American nurses.
Her rare appearance on the battle
field or in the hospitals-nursing cheer
ing and comforting the wounded or
dying is a very small part of what
woman does to promote country's
fighting capacity. She does more than
roll bandages, scrape lint and send out
dainty boxes of provisions for husbands,
brothers and sweethearts in the field.
The wives and mothers, and the sis
tiers and sweethearts that will become
wives and mothers contribute some
thing more IN addition to this cheering
comfort and inspiration.
Every male fighter, however brawny
and heroic was born of woman was
once a feeble infant, drawing along
with his very breath of life from his
mothers own physical resources the
hardihOod, mental stamina and high
courage that becomes a nations final
and impregnable defense in the last

Shall we say that women contribute

What sort OF men will the women
of this present day contribute to the
nation and the world? What sort of
help and encouragement and inspira-
ton can a woman be who is enfeebled
and broken down by the diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to her sex? Can
such a woman maintain the position that
belongs to her on the battlefield of
everyday exertion and struggled Can
she hope to be a capable mother or
efficient wife?
The dreadful sufferings which women
endure solely because of the delicate
special organization which makes them
wives and mothers, leads thoughtful
person to consider whether it is most
woefully deplorable on their own sad
account or for the sake of the other

Famous Music Drama Under

A genuine musical treat, and great
deal of a novelty as well will be the
presentation of "Parsifap' in concert
form in the Auditorium on the night
of April 16. Walter Damrosch. the
foremost Wagnerian conductor and
scholar in America, has arranged the
music drama in concert form and will
offer it with the New York Symphony
orchestra and some soloists. Probably
not a dramatic production that has
been put on the stage in the United

The Diseases of metals.

Many metals show symptoms of poison
ing, rendering them unit for use Thus
steel can, by means of small quantities of
hydrogen and under certain circum-
stances, be very seriously affected. Let
US take two steel bars of the same ma
terial, both heated to red heat, one sur
rounded by air, the other exposed to the
influences of hydrogen or hydrogen gas,
chilling both bars in water after heating :.
we shall find the bar heated in hydrogen
to be brittle. whereas the other bar. heat
ed in air. will turn out to be far superior.
The hydrogen has in this instance acted
like poison upon the heated steel, and
very small quantities of such poisonous
matter will suffice to produce very violent
effects. The disease in question can be

publicanism in the following terse
language:
Democrats are a party Of principle
They follow principle and value l.
more than profit Republicans have
differed more widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active in our politics. They have diff
fered about the Philippines, about the
tariff, the gold question, about Cuba,
about every single question which has
come before the public, but their diff
ferences never prevented them from
coming back as one man the moment
there was change of getting posses
sion of the Government, and putting
their fists into the Treasury. Demo
Gratis, on the other side, have thrown
away prospects of success rather than
surrender their principles to which
they were committed. Democracy, in
fact, is a faith, and Repubhcanism is
an appetite"
