MUSICIANS VOLUNTEER
PLANS. FOR PROPOSED MUSICAL
REVIVAL ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
CALLY APPROVED AT LARGE
GATHERING.

Plans for the proposed musical cam
paign, to be carried out somewhat
upon the same system as the Chapman
revival meetings, Were enthusiastically
discussed at meeting held last eve
ming at the Studio Arcade. ~ ..
William Patten presided. He stated
that it was planned to divide the city.
into districts, with q central place OF
meeting in each district. There classes
tent teacher atsSa S7no1ifinal charge Of
10 cents a lesson, 30 that all who are
interested in music may receive first
class instruction. Among those who
last evening signifed their willingness
to: conduct such classes were Clarance,
Marshall, Gustavus Johnson, Robert
Griggs Gale, Mrs. R.. E. Parks and Mrs.
Harry Jones. The instruction manual
prepared and used by Dr.. Frank Dam
rosch in New York will probably be
the textbook used. = :, -. b.
-: It was stated last evening, that the
movement has the support of several
Of the churches, which have offered the
free use Of their church parlors. On
behalf Of the university people, who
are enthusiastic over the move, the
Sunday school rooms Of Andrew Pres
byterian church have been offered.
Mr.. Patten, in his address, deploreo
the downward tendency IN musical edu
cation of today. He said in part:
HThe modern light opera, with its
frivolous and jingly music; the graphic
phone, which in many homes is taking
the place Of good musical instru
! ments and Of good music. and which il
summer time may be heard brayine
from every other open window; an'e
! the schools, which either teach made
| quately or not at all, are all factors
| in the downward trend of musical com
| position Of today. AS result, we have
popular music, all Of which is frivolous
and much Of which is vicious.'' I

had the material and commercial public
with him. Congress had not a leg TO
stand on in opposing the repeal Of the
purchase clause at that time. Nothing
but party politics can account for the
length and bitterness of the debate.
In general it may be said, when the
president has had the people with him
he has been more than a match for
congress. When he had not the people,
or the people were Indifferent, he has
failed. President Roosevelt has had
the people with him on the rate ques-
tion from the start. They have not
made a great noise about it, but they
have convinced their senators somehow
that they understand the president IS
position and give it their unqualified
approval. Senators are not mentally
slow, tho some of them may be morally
obtuse, and they have, in the language
of the sporting world, dropped down
from the perch E. ~ i

CEMETERY rs MOVED
Work of Transferring Bodies at Fort
Smelling Is Completed.

Mccarthy & Sons, st. Paul under
takers. who mad the contract to remove
the bodies from. the old post burying
ground at Fort Smelling have completed
their contract. They worked three
weeks opening the old graves and trans
ferring the remains to the new Gene
terry. Two hundred and tweIty-three
graves were opened About half the
remains were perfectly identified by the
records and by other means, some were
only partially identified, and sixty-eight
were absolutely without any means Of
identification. and were buried in num-
bered graves
The cemetery has not been used for
twenty-five years. The oldest burial on
record as shown by the stones was in
1923. A chart had been kept, but it
was found incorrect in many details,
which accounts for the large number of
unidentified bodies. The remains fog
the most part are those of soldiers who
died At the post or were killed in Indian
fights in the early days. A few rela-
tives of officers and closely connected
civilians were also inferred in the bury
ing ground.

The world has always had unimagina-
tive people who took their scripture with
a hard literalness that repealed rather
than won assent, but the "Little Children
Baptists," sect now growing up in Eng
land, is certainly the limit. This sect's
creed is founded On the scriptl1ral words,
Except We become as little children We
shall not enter the kingdom Of heaven"
Their devotional exercises on Sundays
consist Of trundling hoops, playing mar
bles, leap-frog and ''button. button,
who's got the button?"
No doubt they are about that size.

MANY SEEK WORK
Inquiry at Salvation Army TrebIes ir
Month.

Where one person applied for assist
ance a month ago, three are now asking
aid. This is the statement of Captain
Miller, head of the Salvation Army relief
department. The settling down of cold
weather, the stopping of outdoor work
requiring unskilled labor and the in
creased cost Of living are all contributing
causes.
Y In the newly opened medical bureau of
the department things are already NOV

opened, enough women and children APP

Suspicious Friendship.

TIL Jour Washington cor
respondent who enjoys peculiar facili-
ties for entertaining the inside of facts
of the railroad rate situation in Wash
ington, tells us today that the oppo-
nents Of railroad rate regulation are
manifesting such readiness to accede
to the president program that the
friends of rate regulation are little
suspicious Of "Greeks bearing gifts
On this account any legislation which
may be enacted will be- scrutinized
with great care, lest the new supporters
Of administration measures succeed in
injecting into them something which
may make them of no effect. g..
While it is, of course, wise to be on
guard against tricks Of that character
it must be apparent that nothing could
in the end operate more disastrously
to the opponents Of rate regulation
nothing could contribute more to radi
cal action in the end, than an attempt
to nullify the effect of legislation en-
acted for the regulation of railroad
rates by hiding in it clauses or pro
visions calculated to have that effect
AS our correspondent suggests, it i
not so much what the president wants
or what members Of congress are will
ing to do. as what public opinion de
nlands, and public opinion is not /;
thing to>be trifed with. It may be de
.feated temporarily, but it is certain t.
triumph tremendously in the end.

STANDARD OIL GAME STILL ON
Detroit News,

Detroit News.
Standard Oil is up to it's old tricks at
Portland, Mich. After failing to dis
suade H. F. Caswell from handling the
product of the Pott Oil company, Of
Toledo, it resorted to threats. When
threats failed, peremptory orders were
issued to merchants of the town to cut
the price Of kerosene to cents a gallon
The giant corporation which handles
nearly all the oil in the world, and which
means to control both production and
sale at all hazards, manifests it's power
in the way that is characteristic of it's
past history. Buyers of kerosene are
making the most of the cut and are
stocking up large supplies for future use.
but the combat promises to end just as
hundreds Of others have ended in tn.
past, and then the trust price will rule
again in Portland.
