She Will Then Organize for Second
Crusade Against Wichita.

Carrie Nations followers in Topeka
have received news from their leader
that she will be in this city about No
vember 10 to make her much-her-
aided speech, by which she hopes to
raise cohorts to help her in her sec
ond crusade on Wichita On Novem-

pear in the Windy City for trial, after
which she threatens to again begin
"raising things"
holding preliminary meetings. the
first one of which occurred Sunday at
Mrs. Nations headquarters, 1903
Kansas avenue" as it reads in the
sprung at the meeting. which ends in
this way:
"Oh what our country needs today
Is men who are not ashamed to say,

And cast my vote just as I pray"
At Dayton. o., where Mrs. Nation
held sway all last week, she cut quite
a swath. Under the caption, in big

where, in a word, the back door Of

where another tongue is spoken. Few ,
students will not maintain that Eng .

Walter DamrOsch believes il, Colonel
Henry W. Savage believes it, and
both seem to believe that grand opera .
in English is to be the grand opera
of the future for the same reason.
Indeed, opera as it was originally
introduced in this country, came in
English guise. and was not other I

Vana Opera company half-centuTy
ago In those days opera sung in
English was supported nobly. 1t was I
both fashionable and education. Is
there any reason why it should not
be so in these days?

article as 1t Is now presented by the ,
Italian Opera company. For years
it slumbered. was decried and dweIr
in rags. Various ventures by noble
minded if not inspired producers
were coldly received. Fortunes were
expended by a number of impress
sariOus unnecessary to mention.
II was not until within the last
decade. when Mr.. Savage with a we'll
sustained effort began to build his
now famous organization, that grand
opera in English showed any signs
of resuscitation. Noe only did this
Boston impressario present the old
works that had been translated for
years and forgotten, but during the
last i've years since the phenomenal
success of his English singing COM
pany in New York at the AmeriA
can theatre, this reselute manager
has secured original transactions of
the newer oper4s. and each season
presents some new masterpiece in the
English tongue, Last season it was
Puccinis ''Tosca,' the greatest COM
position Of the mOderp Italian school.

That Mr.. Savage has been wise as

From an abstract argumentative
standpoint there would seem to be alb
sOlutely no excuse for an opera in an
uHintelligible tongue. The music
drama is indisputably the highest
form Of lyric art and should be with
in the reach Of all. Yet with the
thousands upon thousands Of sincere
music lovers in this nglish-speak-
ing land, there are few opportunities
to become familiar with the greatest
masterpieces sung by really great
singers, except at prices that prac-
tiCally bar the average American Cit
iZen. and even then they are given in
a tongue meaningless 10 Americans.

Election Surprised Him.

One of the curious results Of the late
political landslide was the election to
congress of a young Republican named
Rives, 90 years of age, who led the for.
lorn hope in the Twenty-frst district of
Illinois and was more surprised that his
defeated opponent to find that he had
been elected to congress. The present
Democratic representative from the dis
triet was renominated without opposi-
ton and his election was conceded by
the Republicans. Rives was one Of two
Republican nominees, the Republicans
having split over the gubernatorial
fight, but the courts decided that Rives
was the Irregular" nominee and that
his name should appear ON the official
ballot under the Republican caption.
Having no expectation of carrying the
district, Rives made no campaign, and
busted himself with his professional du-
ties, only to find that the Roosevelt
tidal wave had landed him in congress
by plurality of about 500. Represen'
